Lin Yu's sudden departure left Han Ling Shuang feeling a pang of melancholy.
Calming herself down, she carefully considered her current situation.
It's certain that Lin Yu obtained the Immortal Treasure; otherwise, he couldn't be this powerful.
This young man possesses profound cultivation; it's highly unlikely she'll be able to snatch the immortal treasure from him.
However, how should she report back after she returns?
If she says she is no match for Lin Yu, then the Palace Master will definitely take action personally for the sake of the Immortal Treasury!
Given the Palace Master's cultivation level, Lin Yu has absolutely no chance of survival!
Wow!
Just as she was stunned, a bright light jumped out of her pocket.
This is a jade talisman, shimmering with an emerald green luster.
This is a martial arts tribunal's communication talisman!
It is made from a special type of stone, capable of withstanding special secret techniques and magical powers. It is said to have been found by the Chief Justice of the Martial Court in a secret realm. It belongs to the category of spirit stones.
Of course, this kind of spirit stone is not permanent. When its spiritual power is exhausted, it will become ineffective and unable to support the secret technique.
At that moment, a majestic voice suddenly came from the jade talisman.
"Ling Shuang, how's the investigation into the Immortal Treasury going?"
"Lord of the Palace!"
Han Ling Shuang's expression changed drastically. She immediately knelt on the ground, pressed her fists together, and said respectfully, "I have arrived at the Ha residence and have met Lin Yu!"
"He, he..."
Han Ling Shuang stammered, unsure how to answer.
"What, is the Immortal Treasure really in his hands?" the Palace Master asked excitedly.
Han Ling Shuang's eyes flickered a few times, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No! Your subordinate did not find any clues about the Immortal Treasure on him!"
"No?" The Palace Master paused for a moment and said, "It seems I guessed wrong! That makes sense. According to the information from the Ancient Martial Arts, the treasure map indicates that the Changbai Secret Realm can only be opened at the winter solstice. It seems that the information from the demons was incorrect!"
"Since that's the case, let's just kill him. There's no need to waste too much energy in the Northeast!" the Palace Master commanded calmly.
Han Ling Shuang's delicate body trembled, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Palace Master, I think Lin Yu is a talented person, and he is also a powerful figure in the Northeast. Perhaps he can be of use to you!"
"oh?"
The temple master was slightly puzzled and said jokingly, "You girl, you've always been so arrogant. This kid has actually caught your eye, so he must have something special about him!"
"However, he killed my Arbitrator before. If we don't kill him as a warning to others, where will the reputation of my Arbitration Hall be?" the Hall Master sneered.
Han Ling Shuang hurriedly said, "Palace Master, he killed Chi Mei without knowing it. If he had known that Chi Mei was a member of our Judgment Hall, he would never have dared to do such a thing!"
"How about this, Lord Palace Master? I'll persuade him to come to your side, apologize profusely, and swear allegiance. I believe he will become your capable assistant!"
The temple master immediately fell silent.
Han Ling Shuang waited anxiously for the other party's reply. This was all she could do; if she continued to defend Lin Yu, the other party would definitely become suspicious.
After a long pause, the Hall Master finally spoke, “You’re right. The situation in the Nine Provinces will change in the future, and the situation of the Martial Judgment Hall will be unpredictable. Now is indeed a time when we need people. Since you’ve vouched for him, I’ll give him a chance. As long as he’s willing to join the Hall of Judgment, I can let bygones be bygones!”
Han Ling Shuang was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly assured him, "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely bring him to you!"
"Um!"
The Palace Master responded briefly, then let out a cold laugh and said, "I have now cultivated to the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm, and I am only one step away from the peak of martial arts. Since the Immortal Treasure has not been found for the time being, we need to take the path of dual cultivation. Ling Shuang, within a month, regardless of whether there is any news about the Immortal Treasure, you must return to the Judgment Hall. I have raised you for so long, it is time for you to repay me!"
Upon hearing the words "dual cultivation," Han Ling Shuang's delicate body trembled, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
However, at this moment, she dared not show any dissatisfaction, and gritted her teeth as she slowly uttered a "good".
Wow!
After a moment, the jade talisman went out instantly and fell to the ground.
Han Ling Shuang picked up the jade talisman and clenched it tightly in her hand.
Bang!
The next second, the jade talisman instantly turned into dust and fell from my hand.
"Jiang Enyi, I wish I could kill you!!"
Her eyes flashed with intense hatred!
At the age of eight, she was a young lady from a prominent family in Jiangnan, enjoying a privileged life and the favor of her parents.
Until one day, a person wearing a cloak suddenly rushed into his home.
He slaughtered all of his more than one hundred family members.
When she rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the house, she saw a bloody scene she would never forget.
Even after all these years, she is still awakened by nightmares.
In her dream, her loved ones, covered in blood, waved to her, leaving her soul with no peace.
Although she didn't witness Jiang Enyi commit the crime, she was certain that he was the one who wiped out the Han family.
Jiang Enyi used lies to deceive the child and brought her back to the Hall of Judgment.
In order to survive, she didn't expose the other party and even recognized him as her master!
Over the years, although she outwardly obeyed Jiang Enyi, the seeds of hatred in her heart grew deeper and deeper.
She vowed that when she was strong enough, she would kill Jiang Enyi and avenge her family!
Over the years, Jiang Enyi has spared no effort in nurturing and training her, and has provided her with all the necessary resources for cultivation.
She knew that Jiang Enyi wasn't acting out of kindness; he had chosen her as his furnace cauldron since she was a child!
