Lin Yan's smile faded, and he looked at Jing Yan, his gaze carrying a hint of helplessness.
He had tried his best!
However, now that the Punishment Hall Master Ying Youque had personally appeared, even if he wanted to take Jing Yan and leave this place, he was powerless.
Ying Youque was one of the elders of Dao Yi Academy, one of the most powerful figures.
Even Lin Yan could not go against Ying Youque's will.
"Jing Yan, come with us to the Criminal Punishment Hall," Ying Youque said, his eyes landing on Jing Yan.
"Hall Master, I think we should execute this boy right here, to set an example! Even if his talent is high, he cannot be above the laws of Dao Yi Academy," a younger martial artist who had come with Ying Youque suddenly said.
Ying Youque looked at the younger martial artist, not speaking immediately, seemingly considering whether to execute Jing Yan on the spot.
"Do you know who I am?" the martial artist asked Jing Yan with a sinister smile.
