at this time.
Amidst the rolling mountains.
The magnificent halls stand like giant beasts.
It was desolate and quiet, utterly miserable and forlorn.
This is the atmosphere of the arbitration tribunal.
Normally, you can hardly see anyone here.
The powerful figures of the various temples either go out on missions or stay in seclusion in their temples to cultivate, rarely showing their faces in public.
Overall, this place is similar to the underworld.
Ordinary people would probably feel terrified if they came here.
However, Han Ling Shuang grew up here and was already used to this atmosphere, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
She walked with light steps toward a brightly lit hall.
The Hall of Judgment!
As soon as she reached the door, two armored guards immediately lowered their halberds and blocked her way.
Han Ling Shuang frowned. "I want to see the Palace Master!"
"Heh, Han Ling Shuang, you've gone out for a while, have you forgotten the rules of the Judgment Hall? No one is allowed to enter the Judgment Hall without the Hall Master's summons!"
At this moment, a man with a goatee and an effeminate air walked over from the side.
Shen Bao!
A collateral descendant of the Guwu Shen family, he now serves as the second adjudicator in the Hall of Judgments.
As the second arbitrator, he had always been very dissatisfied with Han Ling Shuang, and the two often clashed in the Hall of Arbitration.
But most of the time, Shen Bao was outmatched by Han Ling Shuang, after all, this is a place where strength speaks.
Han Ling Shuang is the Hall Master's top disciple, and even her cultivation techniques were personally taught by the Hall Master. In the entire Judgment Hall, apart from people with powerful backgrounds like Shen Bao, there are really very few people who dare to oppose Han Ling Shuang.
Han Ling Shuang's lips curled into a cold smile. "What, itching for a beating again today? Didn't you get enough of a slap last time?"
"You!" Shen Bao's face instantly turned ugly.
The two of them had a little argument in the palace last time, and this woman slapped him in public. He has been holding a grudge ever since and wants to get his revenge.
Han Ling Shuang chuckled disdainfully, "If you miss the taste of my slaps, I can satisfy you. Why don't you come closer!"
That smile is beautiful, but it hides a knife!
Shen Bao subconsciously took a step back, clenching his fists tightly.
He knew he was no match for Han Ling Shuang.
"Hmph! What's the point of getting angry with a dying man like you! Heh!" Shen Bao couldn't help but sneer. There was even a hint of pity in his eyes.
Han Ling Shuang raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Shen Bao chuckled, "Don't you have any self-awareness? What have you been doing in the North, and what have you been doing back in Shanghai? The Palace Master ordered you to investigate the Immortal Treasury, but you've been playing dirty tricks! You've actually concealed so much important information! Are you planning a rebellion?"
"You know, the Palace Master hates scheming people the most. What do you think will happen to you?"
"Oh right, speaking of your fate, it was already destined long ago. After all, you're nothing more than a furnace, or, to use a popular term, a 'refining vessel'! Ahahaha!"
After Shen Bao finished speaking, he couldn't help but burst into triumphant laughter.
Snap!
Han Ling Shuang slapped Shen Bao hard, sending him flying backwards. With a loud bang, he smashed a nearby stone pillar to pieces.
puff!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide and bulging like a bull's, and roared in fury, "Han Ling Shuang, how dare you lay a hand on me in front of the palace! Do you even respect the Palace Master?!"
Han Ling Shuang looked arrogant and gave a chilling sneer, "Not only do I dare to lay a hand on you, I also dare to kill you, do you believe me?"
An incredibly terrifying killing intent surged out instantly.
hiss!
Shen Bao instantly felt as if he had fallen into an iceberg, and his whole body froze!
"You, you..."
Squeak!
Just then, the hall doors suddenly swung open.
A dim light slowly emanated, and at the same time, a majestic voice rang out, "Han Ling Shuang, the Palace Master summons you to an audience!"
Han Ling Shuang glanced at Shen Bao, smiled coldly, and then walked towards the hall with her five-inch golden lotus feet.
Shen Bao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing a ferocious sneer. "What are you so smug about? Soon you'll be a useless furnace, and from now on, the position of First Arbiter will be mine! Hahaha!"
Shen Bao laughed wildly and unrestrainedly outside the palace.
Inside the hall.
The lights were dim.
The flickering candlelight on both sides seemed as if it might go out at any moment.
Han Ling Shuang walked step by step up the steps in front of the hall.
With each step taken, the candlelight on both sides became brighter.
I'm tired of the darkness here.
It's as if there's a pile of rat droppings that can't be seen in the light of day.
From now on, when I sit in that seat, I want it to be brightly lit!
As she walked up the steps, Han Ling Shuang murmured to herself.
Finally, she reached the top of the steps and slowly stepped onto them.
The man in the red robe was sitting on the throne, resting his head on his hand, seemingly unaware of Han Ling Shuang's arrival.
Kneel down!
Several men dressed in black judge's uniforms around him shouted angrily, their eyes wide with fury.
These people had a very powerful aura because they were all Jiang Enyi's capable subordinates, and their strength far exceeded that of the other judges!
Back then, Jiang Enyi was able to sit on this throne thanks in part to their support!
However, Han Ling Shuang remained calm and continued walking forward.
Kneel down!
Those people took another step in unison, forcing Han Ling Shuang to stop in the center.
Han Ling Shuang raised her alluring eyes and glanced at the group, saying indifferently, "I am the First Judge. What right do you have to stop me? I think it's you who should step back!"
