Chu Yang wore a smile that seemed not quite a smile: “Really?” One foot hovered ominously near the person’s groin.
“Really... truly really...” The man trembled as he spoke, watching the foot about to come down hard. Suddenly, he shrieked, desperately saying, “I’ll tell you everything, just give me a quick end! If what I say isn’t true... may all my ancestors be cursed! Please... believe me... Wuwu...”
He actually started crying!
His sanity had been completely shattered.
In the current man's eyes, Chu Yang was undoubtedly the embodiment of a devil! Much more terrifying than the grim reaper! As a martial artist who had seen his fair share of blood and torture, he had witnessed many interrogations, but none so clean and decisive, as if Chu Yang found pure enjoyment in the cruelty and did not care about extracting information.
Especially since... this guy had his soul scared out of him, yet there wasn't even a drop of blood on Chu Yang.
He stared fearfully at Chu Yang in black clothing, instinctively pushing against the ground beneath him, sliding backward in retreat...
Chu Yang followed his gaze down to himself, suddenly realizing, “Oh, I forgot to mention, I have a cleanliness obsession.”
The man retched violently.
He vomited so hard that tears streamed down his face.
A cleanliness obsession... you actually have a cleanliness obsession...
Seeing the man’s reaction, Chu Yang smiled faintly.
“Tell me, who sent you here?” Chu Yang asked casually.
“It was the second young master, Night Slaying Wind, who instructed me... the third young master, Night Slaying Rain, has a plan.”
“Night Slaying Wind? Night Slaying Rain? Why do they want to kill me?”
“Because... because the second young master finds you displeasing... you mocked the third young master... this...”
“Is that really the reason?” Chu Yang expressed some skepticism.
“Absolutely! If I say anything false, let me end up like him!” The man immediately began swearing an oath.
“Alright, I’ll take your word for it. How many people did your Ye Family bring this time? How many supremes? What ranks?”
“About thirty people came, including one at supreme sixth rank, one at supreme fifth rank, and two at supreme third tier. There are also five saint level ninth rank, ten saint level eighth grade... and fifty at saint level first or second grade. The rest are all peak lord-level.”
The man's responses were particularly quick.
“Oh? So many?” Chu Yang frowned: “Logically, with the power of the nine great clans, deploying this many should cause significant injuries, right? Is the industry really that strong now?”
This had been a lingering question for Chu Yang.
“No, no... there are still many experts in the family,” the man said in a panic, afraid Chu Yang would think he was lying. He hurriedly added, “And now, the nine great clans aren't what they used to be... especially the men in the families, they've become quite different...”
“Hmm? Different from before?” Chu Yang raised an eyebrow: “Are you saying... the men in your nine great clans have two... you know?”
“No, no, no, not two birds...” The man wept: “The specifics, I don’t know... Just that thousands of years ago, Master Law Sovereign summoned the heads of the nine great clans for a meeting, and since then, the experts of the nine clans started semi-retreating, and secret organizations began forming in each family... From then on, they truly started valuing heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Aside from a few exceptionally talented geniuses, anyone with potential in the family has been nurtured with spiritual medicine... Now, the experts from the nine clans are quite numerous...”
“Hmm.” Chu Yang frowned: “How many does the Ye Family have?”
“This time, the people dispatched only come from two secret branches... each branch sent out a third of their forces... and there are eight such secret organizations in the Ye Family...” The man said: “I really don’t know the exact number.”
