Chapter 1513: Chapter 1512 How to Prove

The crowd erupted into commotion once again as Su Huo angrily shouted, "You vouch for it with your integrity? Wu Daozi, do you even have any integrity to speak of?"

The crowd voiced their agreement. Wu Daozi and Yuan Tiangang’s usual behavior had always been insufferable, often tricking others present. Now that he wanted to use his ’integrity’ as a guarantee, who would put any stock in that?

"I can prove it!" Wu Daozi said loudly and confidently.

"And how exactly are you going to prove it?" Su Huo yelled back.

"It’s simple. There are two ways to prove it." Yuan Tiangang stepped forward and said in a commanding voice, "The first is a blood test. If Su Yang and Su Xue are truly siblings, a blood test will reveal the truth!"

Black Widow perked up immediately. She was eager to know if Su Yang was truly her younger brother!

"That method isn’t foolproof!" Su Huo dismissed it bluntly, waving his hand. "This concerns the bloodline of my elder brother. We cannot treat this matter so carelessly."

"The second method is even simpler..." Yuan Tiangang continued, "We can use Destiny’s Tome for verification!"

"Destiny’s Tome?" The crowd was stunned. Su Huo’s eyes widened as he questioned, "How would that work?"

Yuan Tiangang smirked faintly and asked in a soft tone, "Su Huo, as the current Su Family Head, can you tell us the true origin of Destiny’s Tome?"

Su Huo frowned deeply and responded in a grave voice, "It is the ancestral supreme technique of the Su Family of Yanbei..."

"Stop spouting nonsense!" Yuan Tiangang interrupted him sharply, "Destiny’s Tome is a manual that Su Zhan stumbled upon by chance; it’s not originally something from the Su Family. If it truly were, then why is it that within your Su Family, only Su Zhan knows the secret techniques contained within Destiny’s Tome?"

Su Huo’s face darkened, but he had no choice but to admit this fact. Indeed, Destiny’s Tome was a manual obtained accidentally by Su Zhan and had little to do with the Su Family of Yanbei.

"The content within Destiny’s Tome is vastly profound. Before Su Zhan went off to participate in that major war, he used his own bloodline to seal Destiny’s Tome ahead of time," Yuan Tiangang declared loudly. "Many people here should already be aware of this, correct?"

The crowd exchanged glances, and some influential figures among them nodded subtly—they did know about this.

Yuan Tiangang continued in a booming voice, "At the time, Su Zhan said that if he didn’t return, his descendants could use his bloodline to unseal Destiny’s Tome. In other words, only someone with Su Zhan’s bloodline can unlock Destiny’s Tome!"

"What are you trying to say exactly?" The Second Elder of the Medicine Sect interjected impatiently, "It’s been so many years. That seal must have weakened by now. This method can’t prove that Su Yang is Su Zhan’s son!"

The rest of the crowd echoed their agreement. After all, more than a decade had passed, and the seal hadn’t been reinforced since then; it was likely already compromised. Many people wanted to claim Destiny’s Tome precisely because they believed they could now break the seal themselves.

"Heh..." Yuan Tiangang chuckled lightly. "Second Elder, it seems you have no understanding of Su Zhan’s strength. Do you really think the seal he left behind would degrade in such a short amount of time?"

"It’s been over a decade! How can that still be considered short?" The Second Elder retorted loudly.

"Whether the seal has weakened or not, we’ll find out by testing it," the Owner of Xiao Huang suddenly proposed. "We can select ten people from those present and have them attempt to open Destiny’s Tome to see if Su Zhan’s seal has truly loosened."

The crowd exchanged hesitations before ultimately agreeing to the Owner of Xiao Huang’s suggestion.

The Owner of Xiao Huang turned to Black Widow, who didn’t hesitate either. Without delay, she handed Destiny’s Tome over to the Owner of Xiao Huang.

All eyes focused intently on the tome in the Owner of Xiao Huang’s hands. Greed flickered in every gaze, as if each person yearned to snatch it away. But ultimately, no one dared to act. They simply couldn’t afford to; Destiny’s Tome was in the hands of the Owner of Xiao Huang. Anyone daring enough to seize it would be courting death.

"Alright, let’s get started! Everyone, you may now attempt to unseal it," the Owner of Xiao Huang declared loudly.

After much deliberation among the crowd, ten individuals were selected to try and open Destiny’s Tome.

Su Huo was among them, and he was the first to step forward. Accepting Destiny’s Tome from the Owner of Xiao Huang, Su Huo’s heart trembled—a surge of greed tempted him to run away with the tome.

But in the end, reason prevailed over avarice. He knew perfectly well that there was no chance of escaping from the Owner of Xiao Huang. Reluctantly, he resolved to follow through with the trial and attempted to open the tome.

Time after time, he tried, but the tome stubbornly resisted any attempt to unseal it. Destiny’s Tome seemed bound by an invisible force that he couldn’t budge even slightly.

Next, the remaining nine selected individuals took their turns, but the results were the same—none of them succeeded in unsealing Destiny’s Tome. The crowd’s expressions grew more serious by the moment. If Destiny’s Tome couldn’t be opened, then what was the point of fighting over it?

"Alright, next, let Su Xue give it a try!" Yuan Tiangang called out loudly.

Black Widow stepped forward, taking a deep breath as she reached out to unseal Destiny’s Tome.

"Not yet!" Yuan Tiangang halted her. "You’ll need to use your own bloodline to open it!"

Black Widow hesitated briefly before pricking her finger and letting a drop of blood fall onto the tome.

The moment her blood touched its surface, Destiny’s Tome radiated a brilliant light, as though some long-dormant seal had been unlocked. Black Widow reached out again and effortlessly opened the tome.

A burst of astonishment swept through the crowd. The ten people who had tried earlier were all left in sheer disbelief. There was no doubt—Black Widow had successfully unsealed Destiny’s Tome with her bloodline!

"Impossible! This must be some trick—you’re saying anyone’s blood could open it!" Su Huo loudly objected, "Let me try again!"

"Be my guest," Yuan Tiangang replied without the slightest resistance.

Su Huo rushed over, pricked his finger, and let his blood drip onto the tome, but the result remained unchanged. No matter what he did, he couldn’t unseal Destiny’s Tome.

One by one, the others tried again as well, yet the outcome was identical. Even after soaking the tome with their blood, it remained firmly sealed and immovable.

At that moment, the crowd grew silent. Everyone finally conceded that Destiny’s Tome was indeed bound by a bloodline seal linked to Su Zhan.

Meanwhile, an even deeper sense of dread settled over them. How unfathomably powerful must Su Zhan have been to leave behind such an enduring seal after more than a decade?

"Since everyone has tested it, now it’s Su Yang’s turn," Yuan Tiangang announced with a smile.

All eyes turned to Su Yang. Black Widow’s excitement was unmistakable—if Su Yang could unseal Destiny’s Tome, it would confirm once and for all that he was her younger brother!
