Jiang Zhen listened to these familiar names, especially the five girls, Li Da, Han Xuan, Lu Lan, Yu Jiu, and Li Xian, who were acquaintances of Jiang Zhen. They had even had tea and discussed philosophy together.
But when Zhou Tan mentioned that Wansheng was frightened mad, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Frightened mad? Fellow Daoist Wansheng is a Taiyi Xuanxian Daoist. Is he frightened mad?"
"Yes," Zhou Tan said, "True Lord Hongqing personally judged and supervised the execution. At the end, True Lord Hongqing also said something to Fellow Daoist Wansheng and the others."
As he spoke, Zhou Tan imitated Fang Jian's tone and repeated Fang Jian's words. When Jiang Zhen saw Zhou Tan imitating Fang Jian's appearance and what he said, a chill rushed straight to the top of his head.
"This..." Jiang Zhen stared at Zhou Tan blankly. She still couldn't accept that her friend, whom she had just met not long ago, had his family destroyed in the blink of an eye, some were executed, some were imprisoned, and some went crazy. She was completely unable to accept it for a while.
But when she thought of Fang Jian's bad reputation, Jiang Zhen was not surprised at what happened, she just found it unacceptable.
Zhou Yao on the side was even more miserable. She stared blankly at the fairy fruits on the table. She couldn't imagine that the four people including Gu Jin, to whom she had tipped off not long ago, were executed in less than a day and thrown into the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
"What kind of heinous crime could these kids commit? True Lord Hongqing is too cruel." Jiang Zhen murmured.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tan said, "It's not True Lord Hongqing's fault for being ruthless. Even I couldn't imagine a few teenagers could do such a thing. Alas, I can only say that Fellow Daoist Gu Yuanwu and his friends were bad parents, and they deserved it."
Jiang Zhen couldn't help but become even more curious after hearing this. "What crime did they commit?"
Zhou Tan was about to speak when the stunned Zhou Yao beside him suddenly asked, "Is it because of the 'Anti-Heavenly Strategy' and the burning of the Dongtian Palace archives?"
Zhou Tan nodded and said, "These two are indeed the main crimes they were convicted of. Of course, there are others..."
Zhou Tan was suddenly stunned in the middle of his speech. Then he showed a look of fear in his eyes and turned to Zhou Yao with a stiff neck. Then Zhou Tan asked in a horrified tone, "How did you know?!"
When Zhou Tan said this, Jiang Zhen's expression changed drastically. She seemed to have thought of something in an instant. She immediately looked at Zhou Yao with horror and trepidation.
