Myth Beyond Heaven

Guchang didn't doubt the two-horned man's confession at all. Among the current Crimson Ox Clan, Hongniu Wei was the only one who kept harassing everyone here. It was nothing to be surprised that he was the mastermind.

The thing he was concerned about the most was whether this was Hongniu Wei's action alone or the entire Crimson Ox Clan's. Either one would undoubtedly drag the whole clan down when this matter was exposed to others. Although Guchang hated the current Crimson Ox Clan to the bone, he couldn't stand aside and watch his clan crumble.

At this moment, Yun Lintian took a step forward and said. "Senior, I have an idea."

As his voice fell, everyone's gaze immediately landed on Yun Lintian. During this period, the villagers learned about Yun Lintian's actions and showed a friendly attitude toward him. Seeing Yun Lintian coming out, they didn't feel dissatisfied in the slightest, even though he wasn't a part of the Crimson Ox Clan, and calmly waited for him to speak.

"Please speak, Little Brother Mu." Guchang motioned.

"First, let me ask this person." Yun Lintian walked to the two-horned man's side and squatted down. He looked at the latter with a smile and asked. "Are you sure it's Hongniu Wei?"

The two-horned man didn't know Yun Lintian's identity, but for some reason, his heart was filled with endless fear seeing the smile on Yun Lintian's face. He hurriedly nodded his head. "Y-yes! I didn't lie. It's really Third Young Master who told me to do this."

Yun Lintian observed the two-horned man's micro-expression, and he confirmed the latter didn't lie. He nodded his head gently and asked further. "Tell me the exact words he told you."

"This…. Third Young Master didn't tell me directly but let his butler come to me." The two-horned man swallowed nervously.

Yun Lintian frowned. "Why are you so sure it's him, then?"

Guchang and the villagers looked at Yun Lintian in confusion. They somehow felt like Yun Lintian was trying to protect Hongniu Wei from how he spoke. However, none of them expressed anything and waited for Yun Lintian.

The two-horned man stammered. "This… Third Young Master's butler is the closest person to him. So… So, I thought it was Third Young Master's order."

"In other words, you have no proof." Yun Lintian said calmly.

The two-horned man nodded his head nervously. He was afraid that Yun Lintian would kill him on the spot.

Yun Lintian stood up and turned to Guchang. "Senior, besides this Hongniu Wei, is there another person that is likely to have a motivation to harm everyone here?"

"You mean…." A wild guess immediately appeared in Guchang's mind.

Before he could say anything further, the two-horned man quickly shouted. "I know! I know! It's the Eldest Young Master!"

Yun Lintian was surprised. "Oh? Tell me more about it."

The two-horned man hurriedly explained. "Eldest Young Master has never shown his attitude about all of you here, but I heard something from my friend serving under his command. One day, he accidentally heard Eldest Young Master say something about how he hated everyone from the main lineage and couldn't wait to get rid of them."

Seeing everyone staring at him, the two-horned man yelled. "I swear what I said is true! I also knew that Eldest Young Master had arranged for a group of people to kill the beasts around the village from time to time in order to cut the food of everyone in the village. T-those people are my friends."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately gasped in surprise.

"No wonder… No wonder! I always doubt why it's getting more and more difficult to find some beasts around here."

"That's right! We have to travel several hundred kilometers just to find one. It turns out because of this."

The villagers became angrier as they continued their discussions. Although their bloodline was being sealed, they still needed to eat profound beast's meat in order to live and practice. The action of this Eldest Young Master was clear. He simply wanted to weaken everyone here. It could be said his method was effective and secretive enough.

Yun Lintian listened to the clamor and touched his chin thoughtfully. A while later, he said. "That Hongniu Wei's butler is likely to be this person's hidden pawn. It seems this Eldest Young Master is quite clever than his siblings."

Guchang nodded his head in agreement. "I still have some impressions of him. On the surface, this Hongniu Wushang is simple and polite. However, I know he is a person with a deep mind and full of ambitions. If it was him behind all of this, then I'm not surprised that Hongniu Wei has no idea."

Yun Lintian was taking note of this Hongniu Wushang. This person was quite intelligent to be able to come up with these secretive arrangements. If it was possible, he would like to see him a bit. Unfortunately, he had no time to deal with the Crimson Ox Clan's matter further, as he was about to leave in two days.

Yun Lintian turned to the two-horned man and asked. "Last question, where did you get all these beasts from? And how many people come with you?"

The two-horned man didn't hide anything. "Beside me, there are four others. As for these beasts, it is that butler who gave us."

Yun Lintian nodded his head slightly. "Their strength should be similar to you, right?" Seeing the two-horned man nodding in puzzlement, Yun Lintian said further. "Have you ever thought why that butler gave you, who is in the Heaven Profound Realm, such an important task?"

The two-horned man, including all the villagers, was stunned by Yun Lintian's question… Indeed, why?

Meanwhile, Guchang immediately understood everything. "He purposely let us discover this!"

Yun Lintian nodded and said calmly. "Hongniu Wushang's real goal should be framing his younger brother. At the same time, it would be the best for everyone here to get infected by the Abyssal Poison."

"Hiss!"

The villagers gasped in shock. All the doubts in their heads immediately vanished altogether. If Hongniu Wushang's plan succeeded, he would undoubtedly hit two birds with one stone!
