Leader, no matter the reason, Jiang Chen shouldnt have killed Zhao Yajun! Its unforgivable. Shui Yuan spoke again.

Watch this first.

A video followed the leaders voice and appeared in the air.

It was another recording of what had happened before the attack. Zhao Yajun and the other five were in armor, on their way to hunt Whitty.

I heard Jiang Chen values his mount a lot. Im sure hell take revenge against us.

Would he dare?

People could do anything theyll regret if they lose control.

Let him die from his own stupidity!

Zhao Yajun had said the last sentence, and he attracted the attention of his five companions right away.

I still have some Mind Losing Powder here. If Jiang Chen comes after us, well use it on him.

Hell be very angry when he gets the news. Once the powder takes effect, what do you think will happen?

Of course hell lose his mind and attack us recklessly.

Zhao Yajun smiled coldly and said, Then well kill him.

Even if anyone reviews the video, theyll only see Jiang Chen is the one who attacked first. No one will regret his death!

The death of a short-term disciple from the Fire Field is like a drop in a pond. No one will remember it when the water is calm again.

The conversation was over there. The image disappeared, too.

The whole crowd quieted down after watching the video.

Zhao Yajun and his five companions had not only intended to kill Whitty to make soup, but also intended to kill Jiang Chen.

Judging from their expressions, it didnt seem like they had been joking. They had meant it!

Leader! These things never happened. Maybe they changed their mind and gave up their plan.

If we declare them guilty just by this video, its against justice. No one will be convinced!

Shui Yuan hadnt given up. He still argued.

So why did you get angry when Jiang Chen said he was going to kill you? It never happened, the leaders voice came right away without hesitation.

Shui Yuan turned pale, as if he had been dealt a heavy blow.

He had always thought him innocent and correct. Not until then had he realized his motives werent that simple.

Zhao Yajun and the other five started all this. Does Jiang Chen need to pay with his life for that?

Leader, how should we explain to Zhao Yajuns family? asked Du Yue.

Send them a bill for the Hero Palaces losses, said the leader.

What?

Du Yue thought he had misheard the leader. He had asked what kind of explanation they could offer to Zhao Yajuns family. The leaders reply was completely beyond his expectations!

We shouldnt forget right and wrong, no matter whether an affair is serious or not, no matter whether the victim is noble or not. This should be the rule of the Hero Palace, said the leader.

People couldnt help but nod. They had been completely convinced.

Sure, but Jiang Chen killed a man in front of so many people. Although he had a justifiable reason, we shouldnt forgive him easily, the leader said.

Then the crowd finally came to themselves.

The leader hadnt said explicitly that he wouldnt make Jiang Chen responsible for anything.

He had been misleading them intentionally, so that people such as Shui Yuan would have this misunderstanding that nothing would happen to Jiang Chen.

In this way, the problem would shift from whether Jiang Chen should die to whether he should be punished at all.

Yeah, Jiang Chen shouldnt die, but he should be punished. Since even Shui Yuan claimed this, no one else would insist that Jiang Chen should be killed.

I agree. Jiang Chens behavior is a bad influence. Nan Gong, take him back to wait for his punishment.

When no one was around, Jiang Chen asked anxiously, Nan Gong, any news about Whitty?

Nan Gong had many things to tell him. He sighed helplessly and said, You arent worried about yourself at all, because youre sure of how much the Hero Palace needs you?

No, its because I wasnt wrong! said Jiang Chen.

Nan Gong was surprised, then replied, Your mount runs very fast. We dont know where he went after he left the Hero Palace, and we didnt try to locate him.

Was he injured when he left? Could he have been badly injured and

No, he wasnt injured, but he was badly injured before the transformation. I assume it affected him a lot.

Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth and said, Nan Gong, Ill go and look for Whitty.

No. I cant let you go now. Shui Yuan will have stopped you before you can leave the Hero Palace. He might find another excuse to attack you.

Its been four days. Even if something happened, you wouldnt be able to do anything about it. If nothing happens, you dont have to worry about it.

Hes your mount. You should be able to sense his status, said Nan Gong.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was too angry to think. How could I even forget that?!

Sometimes, if one cared too much about someone else, they would become a mess. Jiang Chen had almost forgotten Whittys soul and his had merged together so they could sense each others existence.

But when he had calmed down, the only thing he could be sure of was that Whitty wasnt dead, but he didnt know where he was.

Jiang Chen relaxed for the moment. He was waiting in his room for his punishment.

Suddenly, he gave a relieved smile.

He always knew Whitty had hidden blood, and he had been considering how to awaken it. He hadnt expected it to be awoken this way.

For Whitty, of course it was a great thing if he didnt die because of it.

Soon, Ying Wushuang brought him the decision of the Hero Palace.

Before telling Jiang Chen about it, she said at the door, Everything wouldve been fine if you hadnt killed him.

You want to know if I regret it? Jiang Chen frowned and said.

Yes. Whitty was targeted because of the conflict between you and Murong Xing. If you hadnt hurt Murong Xing, none of these things would have happened.

Jiang Chen, who was in a bad mood, sneered.

Let me ask you one thing. If I werent a short-term disciple from the Fire Field, but a young master from the most powerful group, what would you think about what I did?

In that case

Ying Wushuang thought for a while and understood what he was implying.

It looks you have your answer. Dont you find it absurd?

I did the right thing, but people think Im foolish just because of the bad result incurred by the right thing.

What are those who accuse the weak and the bullied practicing for? Theyd be better off going back home to be businessmen!

After he finished speaking, Jiang Chen slapped the door.

He was too worried about Whitty to deal with Ying Wushuang.

Ying Wushuang froze there, staring at the wooden door in front of her, which occupied her entire line of sight.

A few seconds later, anger emerged on her face.

Besides telling Jiang Chen the punishment, she had gone there to warn him that he shouldnt look for more trouble.

That afternoon, Jiang Chen learned of the punishment from other sources.

He had killed someone from the Hero Palace, so he had to kill one man from the Evil Cloud Palace to offset their loss.

It had to be someone on the Slay Demon List.

It was more a requirement than a punishment.

The real punishment would come if he failed to satisfy the requirement; he would be expelled from the Hero Palace!

He had half a year to complete the task.

This punishment wasnt very severe, since nothing would happen to Jiang Chen in the short term, but it wasnt light, either. If he was expelled from the Hero Palace, things wouldnt end when he went back to the Dragon Field.

Five men had been killed by Whitty, and Zhao Yajun had died under Jiang Chens sword.

Their families wouldnt let Jiang Chen go, and he didnt have any backup.
