arbitral tribunal.
At dawn, a long, drawn-out horn sounded.
Like a giant beast roaring in the valley
Deep within the valley, atop a colossal palace rising from the ground, bells tolled endlessly.
A moment later.
Powerful auras rose from the other palaces!
The tolling of the bell signifies that the arbitral tribunal is about to convene.
Upon hearing the bell, all temple masters must assemble at the main temple within fifteen minutes to attend the council!
Before long, these ten powerful figures appeared in the hall.
Seated at the head of the table was a man in brocade and purple robes.
He wore a white mask, with only his long, waterfall-like hair cascading over his shoulders, giving him the air of an ancient, elegant swordsman.
This is the Chief Justice of the Arbitration Tribunal, who is also the most powerful person in the tribunal on the surface!
However, what this guy looks like remains unknown to outsiders.
In fact, very few people even know his name.
Only this purple robe and his unparalleled cultivation level truly define him.
The other palace masters, though powerful, dared not show any disrespect to the court chief.
They were all once renowned figures in the underworld, but in the arbitration tribunal, the presiding judge must be given the utmost respect.
For no other reason than that, to become the presiding judge, one must gain the approval of the people behind the mountain!
At least the other temple masters don't have the confidence to gain the approval of the back mountain!
Of all the people in the entire temple, only two were qualified to enter the back mountain.
This purple-robed judge is one of only two people!
"Why hasn't the Lord of the Judgment Hall arrived yet!"
After a moment's wait, the judge spoke, his tone somber.
There was no anger in his voice, but he wasn't exactly happy either.
It's hard to figure out.
"I heard Jiang Enyi is dead!"
"Han Ling Shuang, originally a mere vessel, rose to power through a dramatic reversal!"
"Although Jiang Enyi's strength was average, he had been in the Saint Realm for many years. It's ridiculous that he died at the hands of his own furnace!"
"Maybe he was attacked during the furnace extraction, which gave this girl an opportunity!"
"Heh, I never expected that one of our Ten Palace Masters would be a harlot!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
But his tone was full of disdain.
Clearly, being a fellow palace master with Han Ling Shuang was a humiliation for them.
"alright!"
At this moment, the presiding judge spoke up, saying calmly, "You are all aware of the rules of the Arbitration Tribunal. Since this girl has succeeded in her challenge, she is now the head of the Arbitration Hall, whether you acknowledge it or not! Unless a second person in the Arbitration Hall can challenge her!"
Everyone fell silent.
The judge's words were tantamount to acknowledging Han Ling Shuang's position.
No one dared to say anything more.
Only one temple master was unconvinced and sneered, "To be late for the first council meeting is truly unruly and should be punished!"
"Reconsider!"
Everyone echoed.
Da da da!
Just a quarter of an hour before it was time to arrive.
Light footsteps suddenly came from the end of the hall, and a beautiful figure slowly approached!
Dressed in a red royal robe, her shapely white legs were faintly visible through the slit, and she swayed her hips as she gracefully approached.
Even those present, all powerful figures who had stepped into the Saint Realm, couldn't help but feel a ripple of excitement in their hearts at this alluring scene.
There is no such thing as remaining unmoved by a woman's advances, nor is there any such thing as being indifferent.
If it really comes to that, dying under the peony blossoms would be a romantic death!
"You bitch!"
"You came without pants?"
"This is a disgrace to the Judge's temple!"
"If you've been tempted, just say so. I really can't imagine how fragrant she must smell!"
"Haha, female martial arts saints are hard to find in this world. Can any of you say you have no interest?"
Some people, whose moral compass was unstable, couldn't help but scold them.
But some people couldn't help but make fun of it.
The sounds gradually subsided only when Han Ling Shuang approached. Various gazes were cast her way.
"Han Ling Shuang, the Hall Master of the Judgment Hall, greets the Judge!"
Han Ling Shuang clasped her right hand in front of her chest and bowed slightly.
The judge nodded. "Please sit down."
"yes!"
Han Ling Shuang sat down in the last seat.
The crowd still looked at them with scrutiny.
The presiding judge coughed twice and said, "Gentlemen, our arbitration tribunal has not convened a meeting for a long time. In the past twenty years, no martial saint has dared to challenge the authority of our arbitration tribunal!"
"However, recently, a young martial arts master actually came to the territory of the ancient martial arts and acted recklessly. He even wiped out the Murong clan of the ancient martial arts, and Murong Wushuang died tragically. The ancient martial arts are united and resentful, so they came to me, hoping that our arbitration court can take on the responsibility of protecting the martial arts world!"
After the judge finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
"A young martial arts master dares to challenge the entire ancient martial arts world single-handedly?"
"The younger generation is truly formidable!"
"Who is he? He can't be some nobody!"
Those present were all seasoned veterans, and they didn't immediately express their opinions. Instead, they began to investigate the man's background.
The judge didn't want to hide anything and said directly, "This young man is really no ordinary person. He is Yunlan's son, and secondly, he has the shadow of divine blood behind him!"
silence!
Everyone was silent for two seconds.
"Yunlan actually has a son?"
"The remnants of the Yun family are still alive!"
Nervous, panicked.
A variety of emotions were present.
But almost all of them were filled with fear.
The Yun family is one of the four most prominent families.
The siege of the Yun family back then was a brutal battle that will be recorded in history!
In that battle, the ancient martial arts and the arbitration tribunal joined forces to attack the Yun family in the name of justice.
