Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 957 - 0 Cover-up! (Fourth update)

"It’s very simple."

Ye Qiu said indifferently, "Pin the deaths of the seven Mythical Realm martial artists entirely on Elders Jin Shui and Jin Mu."

Oh? The group was slightly startled, unsure how Ye Qiu intended to frame them without arousing suspicion from the Mu clan.

Everyone continued to look at Ye Qiu. He elaborated, "Clan Leader Jin, you can take the initiative to tell the Mu clan that you had already handed the Primordial Pill over to Elders Jin Shui and Jin Mu. In their greed to keep the pill for themselves, they conspired and smeared poison on the pill, which resulted in the poisoning and deaths of the seven Mythical Realm martial artists."

"After succeeding, the two vanished from the Jin clan. You were the first to rush to the Mu clan and report this news."

Jin Wanshan frowned, feeling there were too many loopholes in the plan.

What about Jin Mu and Jin Shui? Couldn’t they just go to the Mu clan and expose that it was their side who killed the seven mythical fighters?

Noticing the skepticism in their expressions, Ye Qiu continued, "After Clan Leader Jin delivers this story to the Mu clan, I will transport Elders Jin Shui and Jin Mu to a specific location, then spread news of their whereabouts. When the two wake up, the Mu clan pursuers, furious over the loss of seven Mythical Realm experts, will have just arrived. At that moment, the two elders will face one of two outcomes: either they’ll be killed on the spot by the Mu clan, or they’ll be taken away."

"If they’re killed on the spot, then fine, the matter ends there. However, if they’re captured, it will become disadvantageous for us."

"But to prevent Elders Jin Shui and Jin Mu from revealing that we were the ones who killed the Mu clan’s experts, I will ensure they ingest a specific pill in advance."

"This pill is very special. It must be consumed in pairs. Without the complementary pill, it will turn into poison within half an hour, leading to a lethal reaction."

"I will secretly administer this pill to the elders so they won’t notice. If the Mu clan doesn’t kill them immediately, the poison will take effect at the right moment. The Mu clan will then believe the two lost all hope of survival and committed suicide by poison. This way, even if they wanted to interrogate them, they wouldn’t be able to extract anything."

After hearing Ye Qiu’s meticulously crafted plan to absolve them of blame, Jin Wanshan, Jin Shanshun, and others were left speechless. Such intricate scheming—absolutely flawless.

The plan was brilliant, each step tightly interlinked, making their hearts race with tension, fearing any mishap in execution.

Moreover, if Ye Qiu’s strategy was carried out, it would likely be seamless, leaving the Mu clan unable to detect any flaws.

The most cunning part was that, just as Elders Jin Shui and Jin Mu thought they had been released and found hope, the Mu clan would immediately catch them. Their fates were sealed—killed by the Mu clan or succumbing to poison.

In truth, Ye Qiu derived this idea from a Mythical Realm martial artist of the Mu clan. When he saw that poisoned dagger in action, it left him deeply wary of such toxins.

It so happened that Ye Qiu possessed a pill that was immensely nourishing when consumed in pairs but fatally toxic when taken alone—a perfect tool for this scenario.

Thus, with a spark of inspiration, Ye Qiu’s plan took shape.

As long as he precisely controlled the timing, this could truly become a flawless operation, ensuring the Mu clan couldn’t investigate further.

Of course, Ye Qiu needed some preparatory work. For example, the bodies of the seven Mythical Realm martial artists would need traces of a toxin—preferably one that could instantly incapacitate a Mythical Realm expert.

Furthermore, he had to determine the exact location where Jin Shui and Jin Mu would be left.

Everyone present felt Ye Qiu’s method was practically foolproof. They decided to proceed, and Ye Qiu began crafting the toxin. He deliberately coated the Primordial Pill with it, causing Jin Wanshan and others to sigh in dismay—so many precious Primordial Pills, now turned into deadly poison! Originally a rare augmentation resource, they were instantly reduced to venomous tools.

While the group rehearsed the plan multiple times in intense preparation, the Mu clan began noticing something suspicious.

When the old steward came before Mu Tianxing once more, delivering reports of the previous instructions, he made a particular point about one detail.

"You’re saying four members of the younger generation are missing and haven’t returned yet?" Mu Tianxing asked.

The old steward nodded affirmatively.

Could the ominous feeling in his heart be tied to these young ones?

"Immediately send people to search for them. Before the day is over, I want them found."

"Understood."

After the old steward departed, Mu Tianxing’s face darkened with clouds of worry. The foreboding sensation in his chest grew heavier—what was he still unaware of?

Mu Tianxing couldn’t figure it out.

...

When Jin Wanshan had seven corpses brought to the Mu clan gates, it instantly threw Mu Tianxing into shock.

Especially when the old steward confirmed that the Mu clan had lost seven Mythical Realm practitioners, Mu Tianxing nearly fainted on the spot.

"Bring that Jin clan leader to me! If he doesn’t explain why our seven Mythical warriors died, I will annihilate all nine branches of his family!" Mu Tianxing bellowed with fury. At last, he understood why he’d felt so unsettled earlier. His gut had been warning him that his family had just experienced the largest loss of Mythical experts since the Great War.

The perpetrator had to be discovered.

For the Jin clan leader to boldly bring corpses to their doorstep, he must be made to talk. And if he didn’t, the entire Jin clan would be wiped out without a second thought.

Jin Wanshan displayed humility and respect, faithfully reciting the statement he’d rehearsed dozens of times. His emotions and expressions were perfect in Mu Tianxing’s presence; his performance was remarkably genuine.

Even the cunning Mu clan, known for its sharp judgment, failed to detect any flaws, and Mu Tianxing immediately sent people to locate Elders Jin Shui and Jin Mu.

Meanwhile, Mu Tianxing instructed the clan’s physicians to examine the Mythical Realm martial artists’ corpses. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

This matter not only disturbed the Mu clan but also attracted the attention of other ancient clans. News quickly spread that the Mu clan had abruptly lost seven Mythical experts.

It was a devastating blow to the Mu clan. The resources and time required to cultivate a Mythical Realm practitioner were immeasurable.

Especially at this critical juncture—Mu Tianxing had been planning to send experts to explore the perilous edge of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, where a potential crystal mine had been discovered. But now, the family had suddenly lost so many valuable experts.

Mu Tianxing felt as though his heart were bleeding.

Among the three major ancient clans, the weakening of the Mu clan’s power was naturally advantageous for the other two—Ji clan and Shi clan.

For the other clans, the weaker the Mu clan became, the greater the advantage for their own strength and dominance.

At this moment, Elders Jin Shui and Jin Mu woke up, looking around in confusion.

Had they been released?

How was that possible?

But the reality seemed to confirm it. Though suspicious, they decided to leave as quickly as possible and find a safe place to regroup.

"Two insects! So here you are. Killing our Mu clan’s Mythical warriors—you’re guilty beyond redemption!"

Suddenly, an enraged voice roared from the sky, and several silhouettes thundered down to the ground.

The Mu clan’s experts had arrived.

Jin Shui and Jin Mu both shuddered, their hearts sinking.
