Chapter 289: 171: Kill! Princess Zhen Yan takes action!

"Lord Suo Lun, please accompany me to the Dragon God Temple," Fang Qingshu said.

"Why?" Suo Lun asked, "First of all, I want to make sure that I will definitely not donate the Dragon Mark relics."

Fang Qingshu replied indifferently, "You worry too much. The Dragon Seal relics are divine gifts to humanity by the dragon, and whether to donate them is completely voluntary."

Suo Lun said, "Then, I find it very hard to imagine why the Tribunal would seek me out. Of the three major principles, which one did I violate?"

The three major principles of the Dragon Temple are anti-dragon faith, anti-dragon force cultivation, and anti-human order.

Unless one violates one of these three principles, the Dragon Sacred Hall Tribunal has no right to arrest anyone.

Fang Qingshu said, "We suspect that you are involved in anti-human order activities, colluding with the Barbarian Tribes and anti-dragon elements. Will you surrender without resistance or resist arrest?"

Once you resist arrest, the consequences are extremely severe. Even if you flee, the Dragon Temple will issue a sanctuary order for arrest, widely disseminated, and then there will be no place for you to hide anywhere in the world.

If, like Suo Lun now, you order your troops to attack Fang Qingshu and his two companions, then the Dragon Temple will send the Holy Temple Army to directly annihilate Suo Lun’s army. In fact, even without the Temple Army’s intervention, the Rage Wave Kingdom’s troops would take direct action to eliminate Suo Lun’s force.

On this matter, there is no room for negotiation.

Suo Lun asked, "Then may I know, which Dragon Temple do I need to go to?"

"Lava City," Fang Qingshu said.

Lava City, three hundred miles away, is a renowned city in the south of the Rage Wave Kingdom.

"Is it possible to conduct the inquiry here?" Suo Lun asked.

"No," Fang Qingshu said. "There are no mental masters here to discern the truth of your words."

Fang Qingshu suspected him of colluding with the Barbarian Tribes and the anti-Dragon Temple factions.

Without a doubt, this was referring to Meng Tuoluo. And to be honest, Fang Qingshu was not wronging him.

Regarding this situation, Suo Lun was also mentally prepared.

Because the other side was unscrupulous in their approach. Since they could use the Dragon Temple against Yan Nai’er, they could naturally do the same against Suo Lun. And his visit to the Barbarian Domain and his secret dealings with Meng Tuoluo had all been witnessed by Turing Duo.

However, the Dragon Sacred Hall Tribunal is an ultimate weapon. Once deployed, there is almost no chance of a favorable outcome.

Moreover, faced with a summons from the Tribunal of the Dragon Sacred Hall, no one can refuse, regardless of how high your status or how powerful your martial skills.

Yan Nai’er was not taken away last time because she revealed the Dragon Seal Stele, a trump card that cleared her of the suspicion of anti-dragon force cultivation.

And today, Suo Lun was not willing to hand over the Dragonflame Ruins, and handing them over would be of no use either.

Suo Lun fully understood the gravity of the situation.

He exchanged a look with Yan Nai’er and Elder Yan Yan and said, "Elder Yan Yan, you lead the troops to continue towards Tianshui City. I will catch up very soon."

Yan Yan nodded and then raised his hand, signaling, "Continue to advance."

Immediately, the fifteen thousand strong army, under the command of Yan Yan, continued their march towards Tianshui City.

"Let’s go," Suo Lun said to Fang Qingshu.

Then, flanked by Fang Qingshu and the two judges, Suo Lun left the main force and headed north towards Lava City.

Yan Nai’er, a few hundred meters behind them, followed closely.

...

Several hours later, Fang Qingshu and the two judges brought Suo Lun to Lava City.

The geology of this city is very special, with lava everywhere, and almost the entire city is built from stone, which is why it is named so.

The city is not large, having only a population of twenty to thirty thousand people. It is called a famous city in the south because it serves as an important stronghold for the Dragon Temple. In Lava City, there is a Sacred Temple Academy, which is dedicated to training disciples of the Dragon Temple in various disciplines.

The Sacred Temple Academy covers an area of about a thousand acres, and the Tribunal is located within the Academy.

When Fang Qingshu brought Suo Lun in, it just happened to be the time when the Sacred Temple Academy was letting out of classes. Many young boys and girls were coming out of the classrooms, talking and laughing cheerfully. When they saw Fang Qingshu and the handsome Suo Lun, many of the young girls kept stealing glances and teasing each other playfully.

The academic atmosphere at the Sacred Temple Academy is somewhat better than that of the Royal City Academy, leaning more towards academia and more akin to a higher institution like those on Earth.

Yet, in this sacred place, there lay a dreadful area hidden within.

The Dragon Sacred Hall Tribunal is perhaps the most mysterious and fearsome place. Everyone has only heard of it but has never seen it.

It is almost the highest law enforcement institution of the Dragon Temple and has the power to bypass any country or organization to arrest and execute anyone.

No one who enters the Dragon Sacred Hall Tribunal ever comes out unscathed. Either they die, or they come out mad.

Without exception!

Now Suo Lun was finally seeing the Tribunal for himself.

It was just a triangular building. Upon entering, it was dark inside, as there were no windows at all.

And the space was small, only about a dozen square meters, with only a desk and two chairs inside.

One chair was very low, situated below the steps, while the other chair was high, positioned on the steps above, with the desk on the intermediate steps.

"Creak..." The door to the Tribunal slowly closed, and a candle was lit.

"Please take a seat," Fang Qingshu said, placing himself in the chair on the higher step, while Suo Lun sat in the lower chair.

In the meantime, three powerful spiritual forces emerged. At each corner of the Tribunal, seated high above were three mental masters.
