Bo'an's words immediately caused a great uproar. Joy was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Lord Xiu, what do you mean by that?"

“Miss Lena can testify that I found her in the cellar of Su Yang’s residence!” Bo An said loudly, while giving Su Yang a provocative look, as if to say, “Let’s see how you die this time.”

Even Duke Litt's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he hurriedly asked Lena, "Daughter, is it true? You were really found in the cellar of Su Yang's residence?"

Lena was confused and didn't know what was going on, but since she woke up from her coma and saw the light of day again in Su Yang's farm, everything she saw was so familiar, so she nodded silently.

This ignited Duke Litt's anger. He glared at Su Yang and said, "We treated you with courtesy, but you did something like this, daring to kidnap my daughter!"

It turns out that after Bo'an successfully kidnapped Lena, he kept her unconscious. At the same time, Colin ordered him to take Lena to Su Yang's residence immediately after Sigrid successfully lured Su Yang to the royal city. Bo'an was to bring Lena back on the day the trial began. He repeatedly instructed that Lena must be conscious when she was rescued.

Everything that happened today was pre-planned by Colin. He first sent people to investigate where Su Yang and Lin Anlan had been, who they had contacted, and what had happened after arriving in the Principality of Paison. At the same time, he sent people to investigate their backgrounds. Although he could not find out Su Yang's background, after learning that Lin Anlan was a demon, he immediately drafted charges of espionage against the two. This instantly escalated what was originally a conflict between humans to a conflict between humans and demons, making the Saint Church completely stand on his side. In addition, he could also smear Litt for having dealings with spies, putting him in an endless struggle to prove himself.

Meanwhile, Bo'an's kidnapping of Lena served three purposes. First, to throw Little into disarray and cause him to make mistakes in his administration. Although this goal ultimately failed, Little's work ability was indeed outstanding; even with his daughter kidnapped, it did not affect his ability to handle state affairs in the slightest. Second, to use this as a pretext to have Sigrid lure Su Yang to the capital, so that he would fall into the trap Little had set. Third, to completely sever the connection between Little and Su Yang, which was based on Lena, so that Little would no longer speak up for Su Yang, leaving Su Yang in a state of isolation and helplessness, ultimately putting him in a hopeless situation.

With such a tightly linked arrangement, all the key figures surrounding Su Yang were properly arranged, and with so many charges, even if Su Yang had a hundred mouths, he would not be able to explain himself clearly.

Meanwhile, Colin, far away in the Duke's mansion, was swirling his wine glass, listening to the latest reports from his servants. He was already confident of victory. Although he knew from the beginning that he would eventually achieve his goal, he still wanted to hear the wonderful ending with his own ears.

Inside the courtroom, the noise was deafening, filled with insults directed at Su Yang and Lin Anlan. Joey was ecstatic; he had initially thought the rather weak charge of operating a private casino might not be enough to put Su Yang to death, but suddenly so many other charges surfaced, each punishable by the maximum penalty of death. This filled him with unbridled joy.

However, he still tapped the table, signaling everyone in the room to be quiet. Once the noise subsided, Joey didn't give Su Yang a chance to argue. He stood up and said, "With witnesses and physical evidence, this judge declares that criminals Su Yang and Lin Anlan have committed espionage, kidnapping, operating a casino, and assaulting public officials. They are sentenced to death for all crimes, to be carried out immediately!"

Joyle's righteous words drew cheers from the crowd, who clamored for the execution of Su Yang and his companion. Lena looked at Su Yang, her eyes filled with confusion. She didn't know what had happened. She had indeed been found at Su Yang's farm. Even if she wanted to believe that Su Yang hadn't done it, she was a witness. It was too difficult for her to believe that Su Yang hadn't kidnapped her.

From the initial anger, innocence, and grievance when he was convicted of running a private casino, to the subsequent hearing that he was a spy and had kidnapped Lena, Su Yang was expressionless and indifferent. He knew in his heart that he had been set up, and that everything—when he appeared, where he appeared, and what he did—had been planned.

Su Yang didn't know who designed it, but he knew that Bo An and Sigrid couldn't escape. Even if they weren't the designers, they were definitely the executors. At this moment, Su Yang looked around at everyone in the hall, his cold gaze locking onto Bo An. He lingered for a few seconds, and just as the soldiers were about to come up and take him and Lin Anlan away, Su Yang spoke.

"I have a question."

Hearing Su Yang speak, Joy thought he might have some last words, so he said, "What do you want to ask? This judge allows you to ask three final questions." After saying that, he leisurely sat down in his chair, picked up a red wooden plaque from the table, and played with it in his hand. This red wooden plaque represented the maximum sentence, the confirmation of the death penalty.

"I'd like to ask, where are our Light Element Bracelets?" Su Yang asked coldly, his tone making Lin Anlan instantly realize what Su Yang was about to do.

"Bring them up, let him see them." Joel casually ordered someone to bring up Su Yang's S-grade light element bracelet and Lin Anlan's A-grade fire element bracelet for Su Yang to see.

A soldier brought out Su Yang's bracelet on a tray and placed it on the evidence table to show Su Yang. After seeing the bracelets of both of them, Su Yang understood and stopped talking.

"Do you have any further questions?" Joel asked, but seeing that Su Yang remained silent, he didn't wait any longer and immediately threw out the red wooden plaque in his hand, saying at the same time, "Execute the death penalty!"

The crowd in the hall immediately cheered. Bo'an was also excited, inwardly celebrating that Su Yang was about to be executed. In the end, this country bumpkin could not defeat him, the son of a marquis!

Amid the cheers, no one noticed that mist had begun to rise from the ceiling of the hall. Several soldiers approached the iron cage, unlocked it, and attempted to take Su Yang and the other man out to carry out their execution. The moment the iron cage door opened, a powerful gust of air shot out, sending the soldiers flying through the hall walls and out of the room.

Everyone in the room was shocked, not understanding who had launched the elemental attack. Su Yang and Lin Anlan had clearly had their elemental bracelets removed, so they shouldn't be able to use elemental power. But then, thick fog filled the hall, and everyone felt uneasy. Joel even shouted, "Help! Help!"

As he shouted, more and more soldiers rushed in from outside the hall, but as soon as they entered the hall, they were enveloped in a thick fog. Earlier, when Su Yang asked where his and Lin Anlan's bracelets were, he had already activated the Hazy Aura. Using the thick fog, Su Yang led Lin Anlan through the fog to the evidence platform, retrieved their bracelets, and then locked onto Bo An.

Bo'an felt a sudden panic. He could sense someone watching him, but he couldn't pinpoint the person's location. This panic made him constantly shift his position, trying to hide, but the gaze remained firmly locked onto him. Bo'an couldn't bear this invisible threat any longer, so he tried to activate his elemental power to prepare for defense. But the next moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down with difficulty, but saw nothing.

A few seconds later, a purple giant sword slowly appeared. This giant sword had pierced through his chest, and as the giant sword disappeared, blood continued to gush out from the large hole in his chest.

"Su..." Bo'an didn't finish his sentence before collapsing weakly, lifeless. The soldiers in the arena were still wandering around like headless flies. After killing Bo'an, Su Yang took the opportunity to escape from the hall with Lin Anlan. They searched for an exit throughout the Chongsi Courtyard, constantly fighting with the soldiers who came to reinforce them.

The fog in the hall had dissipated, and everyone saw Bo'an lying dead in a pool of blood. They were all terrified. Joel, in particular, shouted in a mixture of fear and anger, "Chase him! Issue a bounty immediately! Go now!"

Litt covered Lena's eyes and led her out of the Chongsi Court. Alban looked at Boan lying on the ground, trembling all over, while also feeling relieved that he wasn't the one who was killed. The blue-robed bishop of the Temple of Saints also disregarded his reputation and fled with his men. The nobles who participated in the trial also panicked and ran away, bumping into each other frequently while fleeing. The entire Chongsi Court was thrown into chaos.
