Chapter 490: Begging for Mercy
Liu Wen looked somewhat absentmindedly at Jing Yan.
He couldn’t fathom why Jing Yan was so confident.
The fact that Jing Yan could produce the Dark Night Order, which originally belonged to Mr. Yin, meant Mr. Yin must truly be dead. But to say that Mr. Yin was killed by Jing Yan, even Liu Wen couldn’t convince himself of that.
Stepping back, even if Mr. Yin really did die at Jing Yan’s hands, it must have been through some special means.
However, seeing Jing Yan so insistent, Liu Wen didn’t try to dissuade him any further. Believing that with the presence of the Commandery Prince and Chief Mu, they would not let Jing Yan die at Xu Dong’s hands no matter what, he nodded and stepped aside.
Dean and other officials from the Three Major Academies also came out of the Council Hall, standing at a distance, watching Jing Yan with different meanings in their gazes, but most of them had a somewhat mocking expression.
"Prince, this battle, it’s Jing Yan who sought out Vice President Xu Dong. If Jing Yan were to be accidentally injured by Vice President Xu Dong in the heat of battle, Xu Dong shouldn’t be held responsible, right?" The Lu Family Patriarch raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhou Shangyun with a probing tone.
"Lu Family Patriarch, did you not hear Jing Yan’s words clearly?"
"Fine! I’ll tell you again, Jing Yan spoke of a life and death battle, where one is responsible for one’s own life or death! Now, do you understand?" Zhou Shangyun swept a cold glance over the Lu Family Patriarch as he spoke in a low tone.
The Lu Family Patriarch’s body trembled slightly, and he let out a dry laugh, not daring to say anything more.
Even as the patriarch of one of the clans in Lanqu County City, he had to lower his head before Zhou Shangyun, the Commandery Prince.
The heads of the second-rate forces were pointing and talking at an even greater distance. From their words and attitudes, it was clear that no one believed Jing Yan was a match for Xu Dong. Xu Dong was the Vice President of the Alchemist Association with a great reputation, and even if his main focus was on alchemy, his martial arts cultivation absolutely was not something a mere twenty-year-old martial artist could challenge!
