Supreme Warrior in the City

The woman and the old man once again hurled various accusations and curses at the man, while Su Yang watched him closely from the side.

The man was quite fearful inside, yet every time the woman and the old man mentioned their daughter, he would make some subconscious little gestures.

The man had the strength of the Venerable Realm, so Su Yang's Soul Searching Technique couldn't read his heart. However, through these small gestures, Su Yang could see that the man was indeed somewhat guilty.

What on earth happened that made the man so guilty?

After a while, Su Yang suddenly asked, "How did your wife die?"

Upon hearing these words, the man was visibly flustered and hurriedly replied, "She... she died because of lovesickness..."

"Really?" Su Yang's voice turned cold.

"Re... really..." The man's voice was noticeably shaking.

Su Yang glanced at Lv Donglin, and without waiting for Su Yang to speak, Lv Donglin directly picked up a dagger and sliced off a piece of flesh from the man's shoulder.

"Ah!" The man screamed aloud in agony.

"I want the truth!" Lv Donglin said sternly, "If you can tell the truth, I will spare you further pain. If you refuse to speak the truth, I will slice your flesh piece by piece, think carefully!"

"She... she really died of illness..." the man said, tremblingly.

Lv Donglin said nothing further and again sliced off another piece of flesh with the dagger.

The man howled in agony, still enduring the pain while claiming his wife died of illness.

And Lv Donglin did not waste words with him; for every assertion he made, Lv Donglin cut another piece of meat. Soon, the man's body was covered in blood, his face twisted from the pain. Yet he staunchly persisted that his wife died of illness.

Su Yang frowned and walked up to the man, extending his hand to tap several points on the man's body.

The man was startled for a moment, then his expression changed sharply. His face twisted even more, and his screams grew louder.

"If you don't speak, we'll keep cutting like this!" Su Yang said coldly, "Besides, I've activated your pain nerves. Your sense of pain will multiply several times, and you won't die; you'll continue to suffer. Think carefully about what you should do!"

The man wailed a few times, still trying to hold on. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and said tremblingly, "She... she didn't die of illness, she... she was poisoned by me. I gave her a slow-acting poison, so when it acted, it seemed... seemed like an illness..."

The couple stood not far away, originally confused and not understanding why Su Yang and Lv Donglin were interrogating this.

Now hearing the man's words, they finally understood what had happened, and were completely stunned.

A moment of silence, then the two of them suddenly rushed forward, beating and cursing the man, crying hysterically, broken-hearted beyond measure.

Lv Donglin stood to the side, also looking furious: "Is this what's called 'can't have it, so destroy it'? You really deserve death!"

With his heightened pain sensation, the man was now extremely clear, and being beaten by the couple made him scream in agony even more.

"She was poisoned, wouldn't the Qi Family treat her? Didn't the Qi Family discover she was poisoned?" Su Yang asked coldly.

"They... they treated her and also... also knew about the poisoning. But they... they didn't say anything..." the man replied tremblingly.

"Why didn't they say anything?" Su Yang asked coldly.

"If... if Qi Zhishan knew about this, he would surely be furious. The family... the family didn't want him to have a conflict with the family because of a woman, so... so..." the man's voice was almost inaudible.

"So, the family then tacitly approved of this matter?" Su Yang's voice turned colder.

"That... that slow poison was actually... actually given to me by the third ancestor..." The man was now somewhat delirious, speaking shakily, "During that time, Qi Zhishan was also... also very dispirited. The third ancestor felt that letting such an important henchman of the family become dispirited over a woman was really... really unsuitable. So, he... he let me quickly resolve this matter..."

Su Yang was instantly stunned; he had always thought this affair was orchestrated by the man. Unexpectedly, behind this affair lay involvement from the Qi Family's upper echelon.

These Qi Family members actually did such a thing to let Qi Zhishan regain his fighting spirit. They never considered marrying the girl to Qi Zhishan, but instead, for the so-called family dignity and glory, used such methods to harm the girl, making Qi Zhishan utterly lose hope!

Su Yang now finally understood why Ye Sword Saint once said the people of the Qi Family were extremely insidious. These people, capable of doing such things, could they still be considered human?

The couple was now crying bitterly, having always believed their daughter had died of illness. Until now, they understood what had truly happened, feeling immense sorrow for their daughter.

The man now drooped his head in confusion. Su Yang glanced at him, sighed melancholyly, and said sternly, "Don't kill him yet; make him face Qi Zhishan later and confess these words personally!"

"Qi Zhishan needs to know!" Lv Donglin said furiously, "What kind of man can't even protect the woman he loves? Even watches her die in front of him, what kind of man is this?"

Su Yang didn't speak, turned to the girl's grave, and bent over, "Elderly couple, your daughter's grave has terribly poor feng shui. If she continues to be buried here, her soul will never rest peacefully. How about we find a new resting place for her?"

"Change it, definitely change it!" The elder said decisively, "The Qi Family killed my daughter, she has nothing to do with them any longer. Why should the Qi Family decide where she's buried!"

"That's good!" Su Yang nodded, "We'll help you retrieve her bones; for the funeral arrangements, you can find someone to calculate and choose a good spot, how's that?"

The elder looked gratefully at Su Yang, "Young man, thank... thank you so much..."

"No need for thanks, your daughter really suffered!" Su Yang nodded calmly, walked to the grave, and extended his hand to grab the earth; several scoops lifted large amounts of soil.

If they were to let the elderly couple dig out their daughter's remains here, who knows how long it would take. With Su Yang personally assisting, it would be a matter of moments.

After three consecutive attempts, the grave was opened. Just at that moment, they saw a bizarre sight—inside the grave pit, there were two coffins side by side!
