Chapter 314 - 314 314 Zhang Min is Dead

Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Zhang Min is Dead Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Zhang Min is Dead Outside Green Sun Garden!

Green Sun Garden, where Jing Yan currently resides, but since entering Dao Yi Academy, Jing Yan had never actually lived in the small courtyard that belonged to him inside Green Sun Garden.

“I wonder how Sister Zhang Min is doing now.” Jing Yan’s thoughts churned.

“Jing Yan?”

As Jing Yan just arrived outside Green Sun Garden, a voice reached him.

Jing Yan narrowed his eyes toward the source, his brows slightly raised—it was Hua Kaizhi, the Garden Director of Green Sun Garden.

The day Zhang Min had brought him to Green Sun Garden, it was Hua Kaizhi who had personally arranged his residence.

“Garden Director?” Jing Yan quickly approached him and greeted him with a bow.

“Jing Yan, I heard you went to the Alchemist Association, why have you returned?” Hua Kaizhi inquired.

In his voice, there seemed to be a trace of anxiety, as if he did not wish for Jing Yan to return to Dao Yi Academy.

Jing Yan frowned at Hua Kaizhi.

“Jing Yan, you should know the Criminal Punishment Hall is after you, right?

Now that you’re back, the Criminal Punishment Hall will definitely take action.” Seeing Jing Yan’s frown, Hua Kaizhi explained.

“I know, but I can’t keep hiding!” Jing Yan shook his head, “Thank you for telling me, Director.”

“Sigh…” Hua Kaizhi sighed lightly.

“By the way, you had applied for promotion to the Inner Court, right?

Over twenty days ago, the Affairs Hall sent word that you could undergo the assessment.” Hua Kaizhi continued.

Jing Yan nodded.

Initially, when he had entered Dao Yi Academy, he had applied for the Inner Court Student assessment with Lin Yan, the master of the Affairs Hall.

“But, you really shouldn’t draw attention to yourself in Dao Yi Academy for now.

The Criminal Punishment Hall seems to have someone very dissatisfied with you; they have come to me several times asking if you were back.

I also heard that a Vice Hall Master from the Criminal Punishment Hall intends to personally arrest you and even went to the Alchemist Association to demand people.” Hua Kaizhi’s eyes flickered.

“Director, the Criminal Punishment Hall is after me because I killed Qian Bo.

However, it wasn’t my fault.

Qian Bo wanted to kill me; I was merely defending myself.

He tried to kill me; surely I couldn’t just stand by and let him do it.” Jing Yan let out a cold laugh.

“Although that’s the case, from what I know, there’s a big argument about this matter now.

Some high-ranking members in the Criminal Punishment Hall don’t want to pursue your responsibility, but others do not wish to let you go.

Sigh, Zhang Min also died because of this matter.” Hua Kaizhi’s words carried a sense of helplessness.

Hearing this, Jing Yan’s body violently shook.

Zhang Min, dead?

Sister Zhang Min, dead?

“Director, what did you say?” Jing Yan felt a heaviness in his heart, his breath caught.

“Jing Yan, you didn’t know?

Zhang Min was arrested by the Criminal Punishment Hall and died there a few days later.

I’m not very clear about the specifics.” Hua Kaizhi glanced at Jing Yan, thinking he had known, but judging by Jing Yan’s expression, it seemed he hadn’t heard the news of Zhang Min’s death before.

Jing Yan’s chest felt like it had exploded.

Various emotions crazily surged.

Jing Yan hadn’t anticipated that Zhang Min would get implicated because of that incident.

Qian Bo was killed by him and had nothing to do with Zhang Min.

Jing Yan had thought that if people from the Criminal Punishment Hall noticed Zhang Min, they would at most just inquire a few questions about him.

He never expected Zhang Min to be arrested and then to die in the Criminal Punishment Hall.

Fury surged like the sea in a storm, uncontrollably raging.

Jing Yan had not known Zhang Min for a long time, but her figure kept replaying in his mind now.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Min was Jing Yan’s only friend in Dao Yi Academy.

And now, she was dead because of him.

Jing Yan’s cheeks darkened as if water would drip from them.

The veins on his arms bulged, and Primordial Energy rampaged around his body.

Hua Kaizhi, too, looked at Jing Yan in astonishment.

The thickness of the Primordial Energy released from Jing Yan’s body was nearly as strong as his, even though he was a warrior in the Early Dao Spirit Realm!

“They, they killed Sister Zhang Min?”

“Heh heh…”

Jing Yan suddenly laughed, but that laughter was full of murderous intent.

“Jing Yan!”

At that moment, a loud shout came from behind.

Two figures swiftly approached.

Their expressions stern, their eyes dead-set on Jing Yan.

As they approached, they deliberately split up, seemingly intending to encircle him from both sides, as if they were afraid that Jing Yan would escape.

Jing Yan slowly turned around, watching these two as they came nearer.

These two individuals wore the long robes of High-level Students from the Outer Court of Dao Yi Academy, their auras strong, warriors in the Innate Peak Realm.

“Jing Yan, you’ve finally come back.”

“Right, come with us for a moment!”

“You’d better comply and put these chains on yourself!”

After approaching Jing Yan, they shouted sternly, and one of them threw two chains at Jing Yan’s feet, intending for Jing Yan to bind himself.

“Who are you?” Jing Yan stared at the two, a cold smile on his lips, his eyes brimming with chills.

“We are members of the Criminal Punishment Hall.”

“Jing Yan, hurry up and put on the chains and come with us to the Criminal Punishment Hall!” the two shouted in succession.

“The Criminal Punishment Hall?” Jing Yan’s gaze grew colder, his body wreathed in killing intent.

So the Criminal Punishment Hall’s people have arrived quickly!

They must have been seen by many students in Setting Sun Valley, so the news reached the Criminal Punishment Hall.

These two members of the Criminal Punishment Hall also naturally felt the killing intent emanating from Jing Yan, their bodies tensed, ready to strike at any moment.

“Jing Yan, you’d better wise up.

You’ve made a big mistake, and now it would be best for you to come with us to the Criminal Punishment Hall for trial.

Otherwise…” one of them threatened.

“Otherwise, what?” Jing Yan immediately retorted.

“Kid, don’t be so arrogant.

If you don’t cooperate, then don’t blame us for taking action.

If you resist arrest, even if we kill you right here, we won’t bear any responsibility.” one of them said, stimulating their Primordial Energy.

“Take action?

Kill me?

Why don’t you try!” Jing Yan sneered.

“Jing Yan, don’t be impulsive.

They want you to go to the Criminal Punishment Hall, just follow them.

You are a genius who obtained a Golden Order; the Criminal Punishment Hall will consider this.” Hua Kaizhi frowned and spoke.

He was worried that Jing Yan would conflict with these two members of the Criminal Punishment Hall and further intensify the conflict.

Currently, Jing Yan was already a target for arrest by the Criminal Punishment Hall; if he were to fight and resist arrest with these members, the consequences would become even more severe.

By then, even those high-ranking members in the Criminal Punishment Hall who had not planned to pursue Jing Yan might change their minds.

Once the situation evolved to that point, even if Jing Yan had miraculous powers, he might still not escape death!

That’s why he advised Jing Yan to first follow the two to the Criminal Punishment Hall.

“Director, I will go to the Criminal Punishment Hall.” Jing Yan looked at Hua Kaizhi and said so.

Then, he looked back at the two members of the Criminal Punishment Hall and asked, “Was Sister Zhang Min taken to the Criminal Punishment Hall by you?”
