Chapter 223: 145: Survival from Desperation! The trial ends, accept Suo Lun!

What can be done to prevent this from happening?

The most straightforward approach, of course, is to rush out and say, "Yan Shuang is not the host of Yao Xing."

However, that would be akin to seeking death. Since the Dragon Temple’s capture of Yao Xing is this world’s top secret, how come you know about it? It seems you must be quite close to Yao Xing, eh? Come with us to the Tribunal for questioning.

Then how about fighting our way out?

Even more out of the question. Although Yan Shuang’s martial skills are very high, it would be difficult for her to overcome the combined force of Tianye City’s twelve leaders, not to mention the unfathomably skilled Fang Qingshu, along with two judges from the Holy Temple.

Or Suo Lun could just rush out and reveal his identity, saying, "I am Suo Lun," then immediately leave Tianye City on his own and never target the Silver Wolf Legion again, asking them to spare Yan Shuang?

That would be even more naive. The Tribunal has already taken action, do you think they capture when they wish to capture and let go when they wish to let go?

Yan Shuang looked at the two judges and said, "I’m not going to the Tribunal."

Immediately, an overwhelmingly powerful force surged from the two judges, instantly suppressing the entire scene, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"Are you resisting the will of the Dragon Temple?" the lead judge asked.

Yan Shuang’s gaze turned to Fang Qingshu and said, "Lord Fang Qingshu, I have something I would like to offer the Dragon Temple. I wonder if it would be convenient to give it to you."

Fang Qingshu was taken aback, then replied with a gentle smile, "May I ask, Miss Yan, what kind of gift is it?"

Yan Shuang said, "It is an imprint left by the ancient divine dragon in this world, the Ancient Dragon Seal Rubbing, which is on a stele. I obtained it inadvertently in the Demon Mountain Range. It is also the fundamental reason why my cultivation suddenly became powerful."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingshu was taken aback, and the two judges trembled.

What is it that sustains the Dragon Temple’s supreme power? It is the divine dragon belief.

And what is the divine dragon belief? It is that the ancient divine dragons bestowed limitless power upon the world, the dragon bloodline within each person, and every inch of dragon force in the world is a gift from the ancient dragons.

Therefore, every mark the ancient dragons left in the world is incredibly precious, regarded as a sacred object by the Dragon Temple, something to be worshiped and revered generation after generation.

Who would have thought Yan Shuang had such an extraordinary adventure, and now she was actually offering such a sacred object?

In doing so, not only did she clear her suspicion of being Yao Xing, but she also explained the sudden increase in her power.

Having grown powerful because of the power from the Dragon Seal Stele is not only not against the dragon force but is also a blessing and grace from the ancient dragons.

In this way, she is not only innocent but will also be seen as a human closest to the ancient dragons because her heart is sincere, and so she received the dragons’ grace.

Now Yan Shuang was offering the Dragon Stele actively; this would be a great merit and would earn the Dragon Temple’s immense gratitude.

With this development, the Tribunal’s capture of her would become completely absurd.

Seeing everyone astonished, Yan Shuang repeated, "May I ask, would it be possible for me to donate this sacred object through Lord Fang Qingshu?"

"Of course, it would be a great honor for me," replied Fang Qingshu. "Moreover, Miss Yan Shuang will become the best friend of our Dragon Temple."

Then, he said to the two judges, "If Miss Yan truly has the ancient divine dragon mark, then she has completely cleared her suspicions. Therefore, this capture operation must be canceled, and the two of you will join me in receiving the Dragon Seal Rubbing that Miss Yan Shuang is donating."

The two judges exchanged looks then said, "We must indeed go together; if this Dragon Mark sacred object is genuine, then Miss Yan Shuang would certainly have cleared all suspicions."

Suddenly, Fang Qingshu turned to Turing Duo and said, "Miss Turing, as the official representative of the Rage Wave Kingdom, why not come and witness this sacred moment as well?"

Turing Duo smiled and said, "It would be my absolute honor."

A smile appeared on her face, but a hint of coldness flickered deep in her eyes.

Her mission this time was to disintegrate Yan Shuang’s Silver Wolf Legion, leaving Suo Lun without any support. However, Tianye City was not within the territory of the Rage Wave Kingdom, so dismantling an army would cost a hefty price.

Therefore, they chose the most cost-effective method, borrowing the power of the Dragon Temple and using the pretext of capturing Yao Xing to arrest Yan Shuang.

Once Yan Shuang was held by the Sanctuary Tribunal for a few months, her Silver Wolf Legion would naturally become meat on the chopping block, to be devoured by the remaining twelve leaders of Tianye City.

Unexpectedly, this certain situation was now being turned around by Yan Shuang on the spot.

This woman is truly remarkable, so wise and decisive, seizing the moment to offer the sacred Dragon Seal Stele.

If Turing Duo’s expression was somewhat concealed, the countenances of Tianye City’s twelve leaders were very ugly. They had fully revealed their intentions tonight, not expecting Yan Shuang to escape death, and the prey ready to be eaten flew away.

Suddenly, Lord Ji Gang of Tianye City laughed and said, "Miss Yan Shuang’s offering of such a sacred object is a tremendous honor for our Tianye City. So may I, as Lord of Tianye City, have the honor of accompanying you to witness this great moment?"

Fang Qingshu nodded and said, "Of course, it is better for representatives from all sides to be present to completely eliminate any suspicion of private dealings. Miss Yan Shuang, what do you think?"

"Good," Yan Shuang said, then walked straight out.

...

On the way to the Silver Wolf Legion Camp, Suo Lun and Yan Shuang shared a carriage.

"Lanling, you said you had seen me before in the Great Thousand Mountains?" Yan Shuang asked.
