Wei Yinsuo, his face pale and contorted in pain, looked even more bewildered upon hearing this.
"Zhu Xuan... is dead." Chong Jingtian felt a pang of shame as he said the words.
"Zhu Xuan..." Wei Yinsuo's expression froze. His weak voice was laced with disbelief as it rose a few pitches. "Dead?"
Wei Yinsuo thought he must have misheard. Zhu Xuan wasn't just his student; he was a Core Seed of the Judicial Court, possessing an Ink Jade Level Talent.
He was the successor in whom Wei Yinsuo had placed great hope, a potential candidate who could have vied for the position of Chief Judge. How could he possibly be dead?
After the initial disbelief, an overwhelming sense of absurdity filled his chest. For a moment, he even thought Chong Jingtian was playing a cruel joke on him.
"Chief Judge, this..." Wei Yinsuo didn't even know what to ask, his head throbbing with a dull ache. "What in the world happened?! Who... Who killed him!"
