Chapter 1509: Chapter 1508 Public trial of Su Yang

The crowd on-site was filled with confusion, unsure of Su Huo’s true intentions.

If he doesn’t plan to kill Su Yang, then what is he trying to do?

Even the members of Qinghe Academy turned to Su Huo in astonishment, unable to grasp his motives.

Seeing all eyes on him, Su Huo finally spoke slowly: "Su An committed such an unimaginable crime. Our original plan was to capture him and bring him back to the Su Family of Yanbei. There, before the ancestral tablets of our Su Family, we would dismember him piece by piece to avenge our grievances. Now that Su An is dead, he obviously can’t be brought back. However, the debt of a father falls to his son. If Su An cannot be brought back, then Su Yang shall be brought to face judgment at the ancestral tablets of the Su Family!"

The moment these words fell, the crowd erupted into chaos. Everyone was shouting and protesting. Su Huo’s proposal to take Su Yang to the Su Family of Yanbei was clearly an attempt to monopolize the situation, and naturally, the crowd would not allow it.

Standing beside the academy headmaster, the Black Widow spat disdainfully and said coldly, "Even now, he refuses to give up!"

The headmaster frowned deeply. Earlier in Nanluo City, Su Huo failed his attempt to monopolize the situation. Now, with so many people present, it was impossible for him to succeed here either.

Su Huo was no fool; he clearly knew this approach wouldn’t work. So why was he still bringing it up? Could it be that he had some sort of leverage?

If Su Huo opened with an outright intent to kill Su Yang, the headmaster wouldn’t have been too concerned—he had means to delay matters. However, Su Huo’s current tactics now made the headmaster uneasy, as he couldn’t discern what Su Huo was truly planning.

The crowd continued to clamor, voicing unanimous opposition to Su Huo’s proposal to take Su Yang to the Su Family of Yanbei.

Su Huo maintained his tranquil smile. Their reactions were clearly expected. He patiently waited for the uproar to gradually subside before chuckling softly: "But this Su Yang has killed too many, and his enemies are scattered across the land. He holds deep grudges against the families and sects represented here. Therefore, before killing him, I believe he should face a public trial. I propose to invite everyone here to join me at the Su Family of Yanbei for the public trial of Su Yang and ask for your favor in bearing witness to this matter!"

As these words sank in, the crowd instantly fell silent, each lost in their own calculations. Just what was Su Huo trying to imply?

By taking Su Yang to the Su Family of Yanbei, Su Huo was clearly preparing to extract information about Destiny’s Tome from him. Now by suggesting a public trial, he seemed to be hinting at involving everyone present in the effort to uncover secrets about Destiny’s Tome.

But would Su Huo truly be willing to share the contents of Destiny’s Tome with the other clans and sects?

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, unable to piece together his motives.

Still, there were a few sharp minds among them who quickly understood Su Huo’s real intention.

Destiny’s Tome had already been handed over to Qinghe Academy. Taking it from the hands of the academy was near impossible. Therefore, their only remaining option was to extract the contents of the tome from Su Yang.

Su Huo harbored this same goal. However, he couldn’t interrogate Su Yang here, so he intended to bring him back to the Su Family of Yanbei.

Yet, even if Su Yang were taken away, Destiny’s Tome would remain with Qinghe Academy. So even if Su Huo extracted its secrets from Su Yang, he wouldn’t be able to monopolize them entirely. Moreover, under these circumstances, taking Su Yang away by force was simply impractical.

Thus, Su Huo devised this mutually detrimental solution. By allying with everyone present, he could bring Su Yang back to the Su Family of Yanbei, extract the contents of Destiny’s Tome from him, and distribute the knowledge among all. At the very least, they would all learn the secrets of Destiny’s Tome rather than falling behind anyone else!

If Su Huo didn’t adopt this approach, the ultimate outcome would be the Black Widow monopolizing Destiny’s Tome under the protection of Qinghe Academy. Given the grudge between her and Su Huo, she would eventually return to destroy the Su Family of Yanbei. This would spell trouble for Su Huo. Thus, he had no choice but to take this mutually harmful path!

Though this approach harmed all parties, it ensured that everyone learned the contents of Destiny’s Tome, preventing any of them from being left behind. Even if the Black Widow mastered the tome, Su Huo wouldn’t fear her!

Should he choose otherwise, and if Su Yang were killed here today, Su Huo would end up with nothing and return only to await his demise.

Understanding this rationale, some attendees immediately voiced their support for Su Huo. Seeing the clever ones speak up, those who remained uncertain also quickly aligned themselves.

The headmaster grasped the intricacies of Su Huo’s choice and frowned once more. Su Huo’s decision left him speechless, yet proved strikingly effective!

After all, the Superlunary Clans and Great Sects present were now fully backing Su Huo. Qinghe Academy had no means of opposing them!

The Black Widow also realized Su Huo’s strategy. She grew anxious—there was no way she could let Su Huo take Su Yang!

"I object!" The Black Widow declared resolutely. "I don’t trust Su Huo. Su Yang cannot be taken to the Su Family of Yanbei!"

In truth, everyone was aware of Su Huo’s ambitions. However, for most, these were someone else’s concerns and had little bearing on their own interests. Their true priority lay in whether they could benefit from this situation.

Obtaining Destiny’s Tome from the Black Widow was clearly impossible. Thus, Su Huo’s suggestion of public trial for Su Yang was the only viable path for them to gain access to the tome. Naturally, they all stood firmly on Su Huo’s side.

"Su Xue, as a member of the Su Family of Yanbei, how can you speak to your family head in such a manner?" an elderly man shouted.

"Such utter lack of manners! Was this how Su Zhan raised you?" a woman remarked harshly.

"You’re just a mere girl! Since when do you have the right to decide? Su Huo is the family head of the Su Family of Yanbei—his decisions are not for a little girl like you to challenge!"

"Hmph, this Black Widow must have some unspeakable relationship with Su Yang. Su Yang has been helping her recently, and earlier, she even assisted him in burying Su An. I suspect she has long forgotten the vengeance owed to her ancestors and has been fooled by Su Yang!"

"Really? She truly is a shameless woman!"

"Such a woman is unfit to inherit the legacy of Su Zhan. In my opinion, she should surrender all of Su Zhan’s relics to avoid tarnishing his name forever!"

"That’s right, make her hand over Su Zhan’s relics!"
