Chapter 290: 171: Kill! Princess Zhi Yan takes action!_2

"From now on, we will begin the interrogation," Fang Qingshu said, "Once it is proven that you have violated the three major principles, you will be executed."

"Please," Suo Lun responded.

"The first question, what Dragon Mark relics did you obtain?" Fang Qingshu asked.

At this moment, three streams of spiritual power completely locked onto Suo Lun’s mental aura, ready to capture even the slightest fluctuation.

"Dragonflame Crystal," Suo Lun said. He did not lie, so his mental fluctuations were completely normal.

"The second question, where did you obtain the Dragonflame Crystal?" Fang Qingshu asked.

"Bloody Shore Lost City," Suo Lun replied.

"The third question, the Bloody Shore Lost City is deep within the Barbarian Domain, and it’s certain death for humans who enter. Your martial skills are not high; how did you manage to enter and exit unscathed?" Fang Qingshu asked.

The third question was crucial. Only if Suo Lun was in collude with the Barbarian Tribes, could he have safely gone in and out. And if so, he would be conspiring with the Barbarian Tribes, violating the anti-human order, and would be executed.

"I rode on Jiang Xue’s Lion-Tiger Beast in and out," Suo Lun said, and this time he lied.

However, during the previous mental battle at Heaven Tomb, Suo Lun had completely mastered the various brainwave frequencies. Excited, lying, truthful, and so on — he had them at his fingertips.

Therefore, even though he lied, his mental fluctuations followed a completely normal trajectory, making it impossible to capture any flaws.

Upon hearing the name Jiang Xue, Fang Qingshu was slightly taken aback; he did not expect this answer.

"Evidence," Fang Qingshu stated flatly.

Suo Lun placed the sword on the table and said, "This Dragon Gold Sword was Jiang Xue’s sidearm. After being corroded by the sea of blood, he passed the sword on to me."

After examining it, Fang Qingshu said, "The evidence is insufficient. It cannot prove that the sword belonged to Jiang Xue, nor that he passed it on to you. However, we will send someone to search for Jiang Xue to verify this."

With that, Fang Qingshu’s questions came to an end.

Suo Lun was slightly astonished. It was that simple? The Dragon Temple Tribunal wasn’t as terrifying as he imagined?

However, the very next second, the psychic pressure from the three corners of the room suddenly doubled.

Fang Qingshu asked again, "The first question, what Dragon Mark relic did you obtain?"

Suo Lun replied, "Dragonflame Crystal."

Fang Qingshu asked again, "The second question, where did you obtain the Dragonflame Crystal?"

Suo Lun answered, "Blood Case Lost City."

Fang Qingshu stated, "The third question, the Bloody Shore Lost City is deep within the Barbarian Domain, and it’s certain death for humans who enter. Your martial skills are not high; how did you manage to enter and exit unscathed?"

Suo Lun said, "I rode on Jiang Xue’s Lion-Tiger Beast in and out."

The three questions were exactly the same.

Only, with the second round of questioning, the psychic pressure inside the Tribunal had suddenly increased.

A chill ran down Suo Lun’s spine; he fully realized that Fang Qingshu would repeat these three questions, ten times, twenty times, thirty times.

Moreover, the psychic pressure would grow stronger and stronger, until it destroyed Suo Lun’s mental defenses.

There were only two possible outcomes.

First, Suo Lun’s mental defenses would completely collapse, revealing the truth.

Second, Yao Xing would consume all her spiritual power, and Suo Lun would not be able to withstand the immense pressure from the three spiritual masters, resulting in the instant destruction of his brain domain, turning him into a walking corpse.

Although he had anticipated the darkness of the Dragon Temple, it still far exceeded his expectations.

Fang Qingshu didn’t care about his answers or whether he had really colluded with the Barbarian Tribes.

His only purpose was to execute Suo Lun under legal pretenses or destroy his brain domain, reducing him to a walking corpse.

In any case, he had no intention of letting Suo Lun leave alive.

The third time, the fourth, the fifth...

Fang Qingshu kept repeating these three questions, while the psychic power released by the three spiritual masters in the Tribunal continued to double in intensity.

"Master, if this continues, our spiritual power will be exhausted in at most two days; your mental defenses will be completely destroyed. By then, you will either be executed or turned into a walking corpse," Yao Xing’s voice rang out in Suo Lun’s heart: "There’s no changing this outcome."

The sixth time, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth...

Fang Qingshu didn’t stop for even a moment, continuing to ask repeatedly.

His face showed no hint of coldness or oppression; he even maintained a smile throughout.

But in Suo Lun’s heart, his handsome and elegant face was almost devilish.

His mental strength was increasingly burdened.

It was as if a dam was always at the same height, while the water level in the reservoir kept rising and rising.

Once the water surpassed the dam, a collapse was inevitable.

Fang Qingshu in front of him wanted him dead.

Suo Lun highly doubted this person’s identity. Why was he so determined to put him to death? Was it merely Zhi Li’s will?

Although Zhi Li held substantial power, it wasn’t enough to control the Dragon Temple.

Who exactly was this Fang Qingshu in front of him?

As the legend goes, anyone who enters the Dragon God Temple Tribunal can never come out again. That saying was evidently true.

He had only two days.

...

After escorting Suo Lun into Lava City, Yan Nai’er rode her Lion-Tiger Beast at top speed, heading north. Her destination was Wangcheng Zidu.

She galloped furiously, almost covering nearly two hundred li every hour.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Suddenly, dozens of arrows shot out from all directions, some aimed at her, some at her Lion-Tiger Beast.
