Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1424 - 1224: There’s Only One Chance

Qin Yi’s palm surged with a powerful suction, directly pulling the half-dead Ming Jun towards him.

Qin Yi gripped Ming Jun’s neck, "I’ll give you one chance: tell the truth, and I’ll spare your life. Dare to say no, and I’ll hand you over to the Elf Divine Tree, making you one of those hundred corpses."

Ming Jun was very weak, but his gaze at Qin Yi was full of venom, cursing, "Despicable scoundrel, if it weren’t for your schemes against me, I would have killed you."

Qin Yi sneered, his face full of disdain, "Was it me scheming against you, or did you all doom yourselves? Why did the Elf Divine Tree become like this? Do you dare say it has nothing to do with you? As for killing me, let me tell you straight, even ten thousand of you wouldn’t be enough."

Qin Yi leaned closer to Ming Jun, speaking coldly, "That night when I destroyed the War Tiger Sect, don’t think I didn’t know you and Zi Lan were hiding nearby. I heard your conversation loud and clear. Coming to the Elf Clan this time, I never intended to let you leave alive."

Before Qin Yi’s voice had faded in Ming Jun’s ears, suddenly a crackling sound resounded, a sharp fracture of the skull was heard.

"Ah..." In an instant, Ming Jun let out a piercing scream, his eyes bulging with veins popping on his forehead. Qin Yi had crushed his shoulder with one pinch.

Qin Yi’s face was full of murderous intent, "Opportunity is right in front of you. If you don’t speak, I don’t mind crushing all your bones and handing you over to the Elf Divine Tree. As for who I, Qin Yi, am, while others might not know, you should be clear."

With that said, there was another crack, as Qin Yi broke all five fingers of Ming Jun’s right hand.

Ming Jun convulsed with pain, trembling like a sifting sieve.

The people present showed fear, not expecting Qin Yi to be so ruthless, treating Ming Jun like a toy, manipulating him at will.

"Qin Yi, you’re courting death, daring to harm my clansman in the Elf Clan, I will ensure you are torn limb from limb," the Great Elder roared.

"Clan Leader, are you not going to capture this madman? Since when has our Elf Clan suffered such humiliation?"

Qin Yi’s eyes were icy, murderous intent almost tangible in his gaze at the Great Elder, speaking coldly, "Don’t rush, enjoy the last moments of your life, you may not see past tonight."

"Arrogant, do you really dare to kill him? I’d give you a hundred chances, and you still wouldn’t dare," the Great Elder retorted.

Qin Yi’s gaze was sinister, leaning closer to Ming Jun, "Did you hear the Great Elder’s words? He’s urging me to kill you. Because, only the dead can keep secrets. Your blind loyalty means nothing to him."

"Ming Jun, there’s only one chance. Will you speak or not? Actually, whether you speak or not doesn’t matter to me, but it concerns your own life."

Ming Jun’s body trembled vigorously, he shouted, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk..."

The Great Elder and Zi Lan’s expressions changed dramatically, the Great Elder sternly said, "Ming Jun, don’t be afraid. With me here, he absolutely won’t harm you."

Qin Yi glared at the Great Elder, his eyes sharp like a blade, "Old fellow, are you scared?"

The Great Elder’s face darkened, he snorted coldly, "What do I have to be afraid of? This is the Elf Clan. It’s you who should be afraid."

"Old fellow, you should know Qin a little, think about what your end will be if you fall into my hands?"

The Great Elder’s face was extremely gloomy.

Qin Yi turned to Ming Jun, "Tell me, why has the Elf Divine Tree become like this?"

Ming Jun’s lips quivered, hesitating for a moment before shouting, "It’s the Great Elder, he did it all."

The Elf Clan Leader, Granny Hua, and all the members of the Elf Clan were stunned, all looking at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder roared, "Outrageous! What do you mean by looking at me like that? Can’t you see Ming Jun was threatened into saying this?"

"Though Qin Yi has many flaws, there’s one thing for sure: he never lies. If he’s targeting you, it means you’re definitely up to something," Yun Mengyao said.

Qin Yi continued questioning Ming Jun, "Why did Hua Nian and Little Leaf sneak out of the Elf Clan?"

Ming Jun was silent for a long time before speaking, "It was Zi Lan, under the Great Elder’s orders, who lured them out."

The members of the Elf Clan were in an uproar.

Qin Yi said deeply, "Why?"

"Because Little Leaf is a four-winged elf, destined to become the Clan Leader of the Elf Clan. Moreover, the Clan Leader and all the Elders have already begun preparing to cultivate Little Leaf. The Great Elder wants to support his grandson Lan Hai to be the next Clan Leader, to completely control the Elf Clan. If Little Leaf grows up, he will have no chance."

"So, they lured Little Leaf and Hua Nian out of the Elf Clan. Once in the outside world, with human greed, Hua Nian and Little Leaf would surely die. This way, they could borrow a knife to kill, doing it unnoticed by gods or men."

Only then did Qin Yi understand. He had previously wondered why only Little Leaf and the Elf Clan Leader were four-winged elves in the entire Elf Clan; it turns out four-winged elves are gifted and are chosen as the next Clan Leader.

Yun Mengyao sneered coldly, "What a vicious old thing, daring to harm even a child, truly despicable."

Everyone stared at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder roared hoarsely, "Nonsense! I have dedicated my life to the Elf Clan, without any other thoughts. It’s obvious Ming Jun was coerced into saying this, his words are not genuine, yet you believe them, how foolish."

Qin Yi sneered, "Old thing, you’d better shut up. With just this, I can kill you now."

"Qin Yi, I know your cultivation is formidable, even the Sword Sect can’t do anything against you. But I’m not afraid of you," the Great Elder declared.

Qin Yi suddenly laughed, his face full of ridicule.

Everyone looked at the Great Elder, their eyes strange.

"Old thing, this is the first time we’re meeting, how do you know so much about me?"

The Great Elder’s face changed, knowing he misspoke.

Qin Yi sneered, "The Elf Clan stays hidden from the world, never caring about outside matters. Yet you seem very well-informed about Qin, it must be Zi Lan who told you."

"Yes, she told me," the Great Elder paused, then loudly shouted, "You all probably don’t know, this Qin Yi is a pestilence. He’s no good person; even the Sword Sect can’t handle him. He also destroyed the Sin Tower in Sin City; he’s a disaster. His appearance in the Elf Clan will surely bring calamity."

"For the safety of our Elf Clan, let’s unite to kill him. Otherwise, the Elf Clan will face a disaster."

Qin Yi’s face was full of cold laughter, "Great Elder, you know so much about me from Zi Lan, but I’m curious, why does Zi Lan know about me?"

Zi Lan’s delicate face turned pale.

Qin Yi looked at Zi Lan, "You and I have never interacted, why are you so interested in me?"

"I... I heard about you," Zi Lan shouted in a shaky voice.

Qin Yi sneered, "Heard from whom?"

"I..." Zi Lan was at a loss for words.
