Chapter 142: Undermine Its Foundations, Eight-step Sword Demon (12k)_5
Yin Busan, who had been hiding on the side, observing the entire scene, stepped out.
Yin Busan opened the piece of paper, glanced at the Yin family members below, some shocked, others delighted, and unfolded it.
"On this paper are the names of many people. I know many are dissatisfied with me.
I also know someone here must have acted irrationally.
Now, let's see who is on this list."
Yin Busan held the paper up for everyone to see, and all could see that it was just a blank page, not a single word on it.
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded, including the problematic young people.
Some were relieved, some astonished, and others had complex expressions.
Yu Ziqing just sat there, sipping his tea quietly, not interjecting anymore.
Now, how to handle it, that was the Yin family's concern.
Yin Busan burned the paper to ashes, looking at the crowd of Yin family members, his gaze filled with various emotions, confusion, self-blame, and helplessness.
"I should have already been dead, but Feng Family Master and Brother Qing saved me, leaving me a thread of life to recover until today.
I know you have many questions you want to ask; it's my request that they not tell you.
I feel that I'm truly no longer suitable to be the family head."
"Elder brother, you are wrong." Yin Busi, who had been silent, immediately refuted.
"I was wrong."
"Your mistake lies not elsewhere, only in wanting to escape now. You are the most suitable person for the Yin Family Patriarch.
Some in the Yin family think that replacing you would be better, but they are mistaken. Anyone else would be worse.
They think you're strict, but in reality, they are wrong; you are too merciful.
If it were me, none of them would live!"
As Yin Busi spoke, he suddenly grabbed a young man nearby.
"Look at him, someone already beyond saving, yet you still keep him, willing to give them a chance, just a slight punishment.
That is where you're wrong; your slight punishment, to him, is a tremendous humiliation. He will rebel against you, even if it means collaborating with outsiders."
As he spoke, Yin Busi suddenly exerted force, snapping the young man's neck on the spot.
"Yin Busi!"
The Yin family's experts were shocked, subduing Yin Busi on the spot, but it was too late; no one expected that even without detoxification and recovery, Yin Busi would dare to kill in public.
The young man's head was twisted such that he could see his own back, and someone fed him a pill, but it was useless.
At this moment, he was less than a mortal, his body filled with toxins, unable to utilize any pill needing True Yuan, only the most basic Body Refinement pills were usable. Others would immediately become toxic upon ingestion, making them more harmful than helpful.
Everyone could only watch as the young man, full of disbelief, slowly lost life.
"They thought now that the elder brother was gone, they wanted me to act as temporary family head.
Pity, they never thought, aside from the fact that I would never assume the role of family head, if I did, not one of these people would be left alive!
I am not as merciful as my elder brother, who insists on adhering to the rules.
But each time, according to the rules, they were given a chance.
Once or twice, but never thrice or more.
Elder brother, you have forgotten; these fools only feel elder brother always mentions rules and family law.
But forget, it's my elder brother's mercy that gives them such talking points."
Everyone looked on, shocked at Yin Busi, seeing his face full of murderous intent, knowing that if he wasn't detoxified, he would have gone on a rampage by now.
"Elder brother, you have nowhere to retreat, nowhere to escape. Now retreating or escaping is betraying the Yin family!"
Yin Busi shouted hoarsely, ceaselessly speaking even as he was subdued.
Yu Ziqing, standing afar, slowly stood up, feeling as though he was truly overthinking it.
Yin Busi could never be a traitor.
This guy was too ruthless; how could he dare?
Yu Ziqing didn't want to reveal the results in public. One reason was that he didn't want many people to know about his ability; the other was to save face for the Yin family, allowing them to handle it behind closed doors.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing Yin Busan appear and hearing he would not be the family head, Yin Busi exploded, using the most intense method to express denial.
And the young man he killed was one of the top three on Yu Ziqing's list, definitely a traitor.
He even endorsed those inciting words, and at the moment of making the Heart Devil Oath, saying "never done anything detrimental to the Yin family," a trace of Devil Thought emerged.
He was a one hundred percent snitch.
Yin Busi had seen through it?
How did he see through it?
Yu Ziqing recalled that when he was provoking, Yin Busi began to watch others.
When those people came forward to make the Heart Devil Oath, he didn't look at them but kept his eyes on Yu Ziqing, gaining feedback from him.
By comparing, slightly combining the facts, he could identify several of the most obvious suspects.
This guy was truly ruthless.
Yu Ziqing, not wanting to look further, was about to turn and leave when Yin Busan called him.
"Brother Qing, please, you and Feng Family Master, be witnesses."
Yin Busan walked to the sign, looking at the other Yin family members.
"I am also a member of the Yin family."
As he finished speaking, he formed a Seal, shouting in a deep voice.
