Chapter 216: Arrested

“Everyone, quickly report the case. Quickly get the officials to investigate. There’s been a murder here. Arrest the criminal!”

The pedestrians on the street immediately scattered and fled in all directions.

Some of them wanted to return home because of fear.

Some of them were thinking about how to earn more money. After seeing the murder scene, they hugged the bag in their arms tightly. They lowered their heads and ran two more steps forward, wanting to complete their plan.

However, there were also quite a number of people who immediately ran towards the location of the officials when they noticed the chaos.

At this moment, as Fang Yuan entered the Zhang Manor, the servants who appeared in front of Fang Yuan were all highly skilled or had their own specialties.

However, their numbers had been greatly reduced!

There were even more servants, more than 90% of them, who seized the opportunity to flee from the location of the Zhang Manor after discovering that the leaders of the Zhang Manor’s guards had all failed and died.

At this moment, Fang Yuan no longer hesitated and continued to move forward.

More and more of the Zhang clan’s accomplices had collectively surrendered!

Those who had failed all fell at Fang Yuan’s feet. But even so, Fang Yuan still did not get any information from them.

Wan Qian must still be with the Zhang clan head!

I have to find him!

Fang Yuan thought to himself, then turned around and walked towards the center of the Zhang Manor, which was also the room where the Zhang clan head was.

However, after Fang Yuan knocked down a few Zhang Mansion guards who tried to stop him and finally entered the room where the Zhang clan head was, Fang Yuan was surprised to find that this room was empty.

He did not know when, but the Zhang clan head was already gone. He had already escaped?

Fang Yuan’s gaze moved around, and he saw that not only was the Zhang clan head gone, there were also many precious stones, calligraphy, paintings, and some more precious Gu worms in this room, all of which had disappeared.

The Zhang clan head had even taken away the Light And Shadow Gu that maintained the lights, brightness and movement effects in this room. It seemed that he was in a hurry when he escaped.

And at this moment, while Fang Yuan was thinking about this in his heart, he was already certain.

His plan had come to naught. It was already too late!

Other than from the Zhang clan’s butler, Zhang Changpu, and the eighteen leaders of the Zhang clan’s guards at the entrance, he had not obtained any valid information.

If he were to leave now, he would have to think about the predicament he was in. How should he deal with this situation?

Although he had the Heaven Suppression talisman to shield him, there was no evidence that he had acted alone and killed many people from the Zhang clan.

But thinking about it, the bailiffs of the government had already received the information and were on their way here, right?

And because his target wasn’t the guards at the entrance of the Zhang Manor, after defeating and killing them, he didn’t choose to leave immediately. Instead, he entered the Zhang Manor, he wanted to find the head of the Zhang clan and obtain more information about his senior Wan Qian.

And it was precisely because of this action that he could be the last living person in this Zhang Manor, and be captured by the officials.

“Hehe, what am I worrying about this for? This Zhang Manor is not a good place, those who hide dirt and filth will definitely be punished and investigated.”

Fang Yuan laughed self-mockingly, before walking alone on the road to leave Zhang Manor.

While Fang Yuan was walking, not far from the same street as the Zhang Manor, the Supreme Court headquarters had already sent a large number of powerful Gu masters to seal the scene and capture the suspect.

In the end, just as Fang Yuan reached the entrance of Zhang Manor, he bumped into the bailiffs of the Supreme Court who came to capture the suspect.

Fang Yuan did not resist at all, and he allowed these bailiffs to arrest him.

When he saw a Supreme Court leader put on a spirit essence sealing Gu formation to seal his spirit essence, Fang Yuan felt a weight on his body.

It was as if he was carrying a heavy burden. He placed his attention on the surging spirit essence and numerous Gu worms in his body, but he could no longer sense them.

Looking at the black shackles on his hands, he gradually understood that this was the famous Gu formation of the entire Yan Shen Empire, the one that could seal an immortal’s spirit essence, the shackles made of immortal locking stone.

“Walk, don’t try to resist. Cooperate with us, and you might still have a chance to reach the end safely, otherwise, don’t blame us for being merciless!”

A villain like you who committed crimes on the street should be killed on the spot. We won’t give you any extra chance to survive.

The middle-aged man who looked like the vice-leader of the bailiff team said to Fang Yuan after seeing that Fang Yuan had given up resisting.

“Haha!”

Fang Yuan smiled and did not defend himself anymore. He knew that nothing he said would have any effect because it was not the time for him to be judged. As for what his final outcome would be, it was not up to the people in front of him to decide.

With his actions, he would just be a killer who killed many people on the street.

However, he had forced his way into the mansion of the Zhang clan, a top faction in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire. He had even killed a large number of guards in the Zhang clan. Such an atrocious incident was enough to become the annual political mission of the Supreme Court this year.

If this matter was done well, it could even become the political achievement of the deputy of the Supreme Court. It could even become the key to his advancement in the officialdom.

And if it really came to that, what kind of outcome he would face in the end would not be decided by these little bailiffs in front of him.

It seemed that he had gradually given up all resistance and followed these bailiffs back to the Supreme Court.

And at this time, when Fang Yuan was walking with them on the street, Fang Yuan also saw Gu Tianqing, who was in the crowd at the side. He was nervously watching Fang Yuan’s figure.

However, Fang Yuan gave him a look that said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Go back and complete the task I gave you.”

After seeing him leave, Fang Yuan felt that there was nothing else in his heart.

What he could and should have done had already been done!
