Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Fuck you!"

Xiao Yi, with a ferocious cold smile on his face and eyes that seemed able to penetrate people's souls, stared deathly at Bai Xue.

This low roar, like thunder, was ear-splitting.

It made everyone's expressions in the hall change.

Especially Bai Xue's...

She bore the brunt of it.

Under Xiao Yi's intense gaze, Bai Xue trembled all over, large beads of cold sweat dripping down. Her lips turned a shade of pale, wanting to avoid his stare but finding her body as if it had been subjected to a Binding Spell, unable to move.

Yang Kun was the first to snap back to reality, his face dark as storm clouds, teeth clenched as he bellowed, "Xiao Yi, now the evidence is irrefutable, yet you refuse to confess. You even dare to be so insolent, do you really think I won't kill you?"

Sun Yao also came to his senses, his face savage, "Xiao Yi, I've long known that you act unorthodoxly and are cruel and ruthless. But I never imagined you'd be so vicious as to lay a hand on those innocent villagers, especially those children. They were so innocent and lively, how could you bear to kill them?"

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Xiao Yi burst into uproarious laughter.

His laughter was jarring.

It directly overshadowed the others' scolding.

Suddenly...

Xiao Yi's laughter came to a halt, he narrowed his eyes and stared straight at Sun Yao and the others, saying word by word, "You keep saying that I am cruel and ruthless, that I cold-bloodedly slaughtered the villagers. And that the evidence is conclusive? Aren't you just trying to put me to death by harming those innocent lives and framing me? But such despicable methods are beneath me, Xiao Yi. If I kill, I do it openly, never skulking in the shadows!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Xiao Yi's figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

"Not good!"

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Yang Kun and Sun Yao's expressions changed dramatically, both standing up simultaneously, watching their surroundings with caution.

However...

Xiao Yi's figure did not appear beside them, but next to Bai Xue.

His right hand reached out into the air.

Crack!

Xiao Yi's hand grasped Bai Xue's neck, lifting her off the ground.

"Xiao Yi, let go of Bai Xue!"

"Are you trying to kill the witness to silence her?" Sun Yao and Yang Kun erupted in anger.

Bai Xue's face was ashen, marked with terror, as she looked at the two, "Save me... Your Highness, save me..."

"Let her go!"

Yang Kun attempted to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Yi's cold shout, "Take another step and I'll kill you too!"

"You..."

Yang Kun's face changed drastically.

Xiao Yi's icy gaze was fixed sternly on Bai Xue, with each word he spoke, he tightened his grip on her neck, "I ask, you answer. If you answer incorrectly, I'll cripple one of your arms! First question, was it Yang Kun who made you frame us?"

"No, please..."

In terror, Bai Xue pleaded, "I don't know anything, please let me go..."

"Wrong answer!"

Crack!

With a swing of his arm, Xiao Yi violently tore Bai Xue's left arm from her shoulder, blood spurting wildly. Her face turned pale from pain as she screamed incessantly. Xiao Yi, expressionless, asked again, "Answer my first question, was it Yang Kun who made you frame us?"

Bai Xue hesitated.

Xiao Yi stated indifferently, "You hesitated!"

Crack!

Her right arm was also torn off.

It was literally torn off!

The torn flesh still hanging from the shoulder, Bai Xue wailed in agony, looking at Xiao Yi with eyes full of terror, as if seeing a demon, "I'll, I'll tell, I'll tell... Everything was ordered by Crown Prince Yang Kun. He said as long as I followed you and reported your whereabouts to him, after it was done, he would take me as his concubine. I didn't know they would massacre the Teng Family Village, really, I'm telling the truth..."

"You bitch, how dare you slander me?" Yang Kun exploded with rage, about to retaliate.

But Yan Wei issued a cold command, "Please restrain yourself, Your Highness!"

"You..."

Yang Kun's face changed color.

He hadn't expected Yan Wei to dare to obstruct him.

Yet, Yan Wei's face was expressionless as he stared at Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, you may continue!"

Xiao Yi nodded and continued his questioning, "My second question, who placed Yang Ling's Jade Pendant in the Teng Family Village?"

"It, it was I..." Bai Xue was in a state of utter disarray, her fright reaching an extreme, "I only wanted to steal his Jade Pendant to let Crown Prince Yang Kun know where we were. But I truly didn't expect them to massacre the village. You have to believe me, I really didn't know... Please spare me, I don't want to die..."

Yang Kun's face was as black as coal.

This time he had been nearly certain of success. Even if he couldn't bring Xiao Yi to his demise, as long as Yang Ling was firmly implicated in the massacre of the village.

Then...

The position of the Crown Prince would definitely have nothing to do with Yang Ling.

But what he hadn't expected was that Xiao Yi would be so bold as to directly capture Bai Xue in front of Yan Wei and force the truth out of her with such cruel means.

A venomous glint of resentment swept through his eyes as he glanced at Sun Yao beside him.

Sun Yao immediately nodded.

From within his sleeve, a point of cold light began to condense.

Xiao Yi eyed Bai Xue, "How can you guarantee that everything you've said is true?"

Bai Xue kept saying, "To, to report your whereabouts, I have a Feixue Token in Crown Prince Yang Kun's possession. As long as you find that Token, it will prove that what I have said is..."

Bai Xue's voice abruptly stopped.

A streak of cold light struck her in the back. She spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, and her face was instantly covered in darkness.

She had been killed by a poisoned arrow.

Xiao Yi's brows knitted together as he looked at Sun Yao, who was hiding a hidden weapon in his robe, a cold murderous intent showing on his face, "Looking for death!"

Whoosh!

He reached out with his right hand.

A surging force of qi burst out toward Sun Yao.

"Not good!"

Yang Kun's face changed drastically, and he instinctively dodged out of the way.

Sun Yao's complexion turned pale, having personally experienced Xiao Yi's terror, he moved aside trying to evade. But how could Xiao Yi let him get what he wanted?

With a single leap, he appeared in front of Sun Yao.

A Dragon Tail Whip!

Whoosh!

His leg whipped fiercely across Sun Yao's body. With a retching cry, Sun Yao was sent flying. As he flew backward, Xiao Yi pursued him once more, grabbing his ankle and smashing him violently to the ground.

Boom!

Sun Yao hit the ground hard, and as he bounced back up, Xiao Yi's mighty fist met his face.

Boom!

A punch smashed into his face, shattering teeth.

Boom!

Another punch to the chest, breaking all his ribs.

Sun Yao spat blood from all seven orifices, his face filled with horror and despair as he shouted, "Spare me, Xiao Yi... I'll testify for you, all this was done by the eldest prince, don't kill me, I can prove your innocence..."

"My innocence doesn't need your proof!"

Xiao Yi's face was expressionless, his final punch landing heavily on Sun Yao's temple.

Sun Yao's head first twisted and then, with a bang, exploded, with blood and flesh bursting out. He turned into a headless corpse, which Xiao Yi tossed with a thud, right in front of Yang Kun.

Hiss!

Yang Kun took in a sharp breath, his expression wary as he looked at Xiao Yi, "What, what are you going to do? I am a prince, you..."

"Being a prince means nothing. If I want to kill you, it's as easy as slaughtering a pig or dog!"

Xiao Yi's face was expressionless, his body radiating a chilling killing intent.

But just at that moment...

Suddenly, a rush of urgent voices came from outside the door, "Father, something terrible has happened, another village has been wiped out..."
