312 True Culprit Revealed (1/2)

When soul inspection was brought up, the reactions of the two suspects were clearly different.

For Feng Lin, he felt no fear at all. Ferrot was clearly in a panic.

”Your honor, esteemed jury members, you all cannot believe this traitor! He is clearly trying to frame me because he wants me to die!” Ferrot shouted.

”Silence!” The judge didn't want to hear nonsense anymore. His eyes were cold as he stared at Ferrot. At this moment, his spirit force permeated the area, causing the pressure on Ferrot to build up to the point where he no longer dared to speak.

”There are fair laws governing the military tribunal. A good man wouldn't be maligned, and a guilty person would never go scot-free! Now, neither of you can prove your innocence perfectly. Only through soul inspection would we be able to find the truth. Since there is a traitor, those alien races wouldn't easily believe a human. They would definitely do something to your body. Although the cost of soul inspection is great, as long as we can find the true culprit behind the incident of the Great Qin Flying Shuttle, everything is worth it.” The judge's voice boomed out like a giant bell, reverberating through the court.

Ferrot felt his body grow soft like he was made from mud. He was helpless to resist this decision.

A cold smile appeared on Feng Lin's face.

(Now, the two of us are suspects but you still want to continue framing me?)

(Your words have long lost their persuasive factor; you are only courting your own humiliation!)

”Get the Three-lives Mirror over,” the judge commanded. Very soon, the doors of the court opened up as a pair of valiant-looking soldiers brought over an ancient mirror as tall as a human. There was also a group of soldiers behind them. Upon seeing the security measures taken to bring this mirror here, one could tell that this definitely wasn't an ordinary object.

”Eh?” Feng Lin felt bewildered in his heart. He actually could sense an ancient aura from this mirror like it had survived countless years; there were traces of time on it.

He also sensed a similar aura from his Measureless Divine Metal Cudgel. This mirror was definitely an ancient mythological treasure!

However, this mirror was damaged heavily. It looked like it was on the verge of collapse.

The soul was a miraculous thing; it contained boundless profound secrets and was traceless.

Given the fact that interstellar humans just restarted cultivation, they had no way to probe into the depths of the human soul.

The soul inspection technique was something Feng Lin hadn't heard before. It must be one of the abilities of this Three-lives Mirror. No wonder it couldn't be used easily.

Given the fact that this mirror was heavily damaged, if the court used it often, it might really shatter apart.

”Activate the Three-lives Mirror!” ordered the judge.

”Yes!” Those soldiers roared in unison. After that, they undid the seals and sent their genetic energy outwards. A moment later, beams of light intersected in the air, appearing to be some sort of formation. The power of the formation then began to pour into the Three-lives Mirror.

A rumbling sound could be heard as though the mirror was awakening from an ancient sleep. A dim glow then radiated from it, enveloping Feng Lin and Ferrot.

This glow wasn't bright, yet Feng Lin felt a sense of coolness permeating his body. It felt like his existence now and two lifetimes ago was laid bare; no secrets could be hidden from the mirror.

From the dim glow, the shape of two human souls gradually appeared, gaining corporeal form.

The dim glow continued enveloping them, seeping into their souls. The human-shaped souls then slowly transformed from an adult to a teenager, to a child and into motes of bright light which gradually fused into a ball of light.

This ball of light was the source of the human soul!

As for Ferrot, a look of struggling could be seen on his face; he was clearly resisting.

ROAR!

The air trembled and a baleful roar broke the silence, containing boundless lawlessness, tyranny, and the desire for destruction.

”What monster is this?”

”Could it be a spirit lifeform?”

”Could this be a type of spirit lifeform that has to live in a human host as a parasite?”

...

Exclamations rang out in court.

Within the ball of light from Feng Lin's soul, an enraged monkey with golden eyes gradually took form, transforming from the ball of light. It pounded on its chest, and golden light shone shot out from its eyes, directly shooting across space.
