A flash of golden light.
Ning Zaifei sheathed his sword.
The speaker's throat sprayed Blood Mist with a hissing sound. His head and dantian shattered at the same time, yet his eyes still held an incredulous gaze before he crashed to the ground.
Not a sound could be heard.
The other nine flew into simultaneous rages, staring at the Chief Judge in fear and disbelief.
They had never imagined that before they had even exchanged a few words, a battle-hardened expert on their side would be killed! Fortunately, they still remembered the Chief Judge's order—Speak again, and die!—so they only glared furiously with their eyes wide.
Fang Che said indifferently, "I made myself perfectly clear just now. Speak again, and die. Since I said it, I'd be embarrassed to go back on my word. So the nine of you will just stand there!"
"If you still want to test my order, feel free to try again."
Fang Che's cold gaze swept across the nine faces.
All nine kept their mouths tightly shut, their faces filled with fury.
"Stand straight!"
Fang Che barked, "Can't stand straight? Kill them!"
Although all nine were furious, they instantly straightened up like ramrods.
Black Wind came to report, "My lord, everyone has assembled!"
Fang Che rose and said, "Let's go take a look."
Without bothering with the nine standing there, he turned and entered the side hall.
Sweat poured down the faces of the nine men.
Fang Che entered the side hall. At the sight of the people standing below, he immediately ordered, "Hand over all your Communication Jades!"
"Then inspect them one by one!"
"Let's see how the people from the Arrest Division came to know about this! Who leaked the news!"
The moment those words were spoken, dozens of people went deathly pale.
