The man was actually a eunuch!
The others were shocked by the sudden revelation by Ye Tian Yun, including the man himself.
'How the fuck did he know!?'
The man couldn't fathom.
'Do I look… different?'
He didn't have any answers, and this time, true fear appeared in his eyes as Ye Tian Yun continued to speak.
"Not only are you a eunuch, but you are also faking your fear and your cultivation. Your aura reveals only up to low tier Qi Refining Realm, but in truth, you're actually a Peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator."
"This also means that most of what you said is untrue, and I know for sure that it's untrue because the Ling Clan would never interfere in the Lower Heavens politics unless their existence is at stake. Not only me, even the other prominent clans know about this information. So whatever you said was plain bullshit."
"Also, the only power who has eunuchs are the Xin Royal Clan. Even though you're one of the most powerful lots, your uniqueness of being a eunuch gives away your true identity."
Everyone was surprised by Ye Tian Yun's words.
Gao Suyin gulped.
She had almost believed this man's words, and if Ye Tian Yun wasn't here, she might have dragged an innocent party in her mess and made a powerful enemy.
As for the man, he went numb after all his ruse was slowly crumbled by Ye Tian Yun's revelations.
He sighed, and his expression slowly became serious.
In an instant, all his fear was gone, and a calm, collected demeanor overtook his expression.
"How did you know?" The man asked.
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "I have my own tricks. Now tell me the truth, and maybe I really will spare you."
The man smiled, and in the next moment, a trail of white foam appeared from the corner of his mouth.
Before others could react, he was dead.
Ye Tian Yun shook his head at this.
He had expected the man to commit suicide and had no plans of stopping him from doing so.
The man committing suicide indirectly gave validity to Ye Tian Yun's conjecture.
Gao Suyin rubbed her face and let out a sigh, "I was overwhelmed by my emotions… I forgot these people would commit suicide."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "It's alright. At least you learned a major lesson. And well, I hope you don't believe whatever he's said. He was clearly trying to drag Ling Clan in this mess."
"En." She nodded, and after a slight pause, she asked, "How did you know he was a eunuch?"
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "As I said, I have a few tricks up my sleeve."
"Hmm…" She sighed and didn't inquire further.
Zheng Xiang stepped forward and cleared his throat, "Can someone explain to me… what in the world suddenly happened? A moment ago, we were all riding, and then Brother Fang was attacked, and before I knew it, the horses suddenly acted weird, arrows rained from the sky, and a huge fog appeared out of nowhere. And if that wasn't enough, there was a huge explosion, and everything inside was destroyed, and hundreds of people were killed."
Jun Xie smiled, "Don't worry about that. It was just my illusion technique. Luckily I had a breakthrough two days ago, or else this maneuver may have injured me."
Ye Tian Yun smiled, "I will be thankful to you."
Then glancing at Gao Suyin, he said, "Brother Gao, let's go. We need to keep on moving. This was just a minor incident."
"En." She slowly nodded and stood up.
"Hm? Brother Fang, your horse is dead…" BaI Qing'er suddenly spoke, grabbing everyone's attention.
She was pointing at something on the ground, and when others looked at it, it was a burning dead horse.
"He was a good horse." Ye Tian Yun sighed. The only casualty from their side was his horse.
"Looks like the two of us will have to share the horses." Jun Xie spoke, and after a moment, he suggested, "How about you and Brother Fang share the horse, Brother Gao?"
"Hn? Why me?" Gao Suyin was shocked and replied instinctively.
"Um… because you're the smallest among us five…." Jun Xie cleared his throat.
"Smallest?" Gao Suyin frowned.
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "True. Gao Xua, you should eat sometimes. You look like a petite girl."
Gao Suyin was offended.
"Hmph! You're petite! Your whole family is petite!"
"Woah…." The other gave her a strange look.
They were surprised by her sudden reaction.
"We need to leave." Someone said, and it was Wu Qingwu.
She looked around while adding, "This place is destroyed; the smoke has already risen high, and this will attract unwanted attention. The best thing to do is to leave this place. What if there's a backup army for these people?"
Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Let's go."
He had already spread out his spirit sense and was on full alert. This was why he wasn't in a hurry to leave. But now that Wu Qingwu had said it by herself, there was no need for them to stay here.
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head and said, "Let's go."
And then, glancing once at Gao Xuan, he said, "Don't worry, we won't be sharing the horses."
"Hm? Why?" She asked.
She immediately cleared her question, "I mean… how… how will you travel then? Will you share with someone else?"
Ye Tian Yun shrugged, "That's one of the options."
Zheng Xiang suddenly said, "I will share with Bai Qing'er; you can take my horse, Brother Fang."
The others narrowed their eyes at him, making him cough.
"Ahem, I just… I just don't want us to get delayed anymore. So let's do this, right? Brother Fang can tak-!"
"No need." Gao Suyin rejected, "I can share my horse with him."
Zheng Xiang's shoulders slightly slumped, "Weren't you saying you don't want to-"
"Forget it." Gao Suyin didn't say anything else and went to the horse.
Getting on it, she stared right at the frowning Ye Tian Yun, "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
