"Xinxia?" Mofan's face slowly wore a twisted, mocking grin.
Parthenon, how dare you Parthenon do something even more ridiculous than this!?
"Mo Fan, calm down first," Tangyue hurriedly advised.
The three could sense Mofan's demon blood being activated. The thing they were worried about the most had happened.
"There's nothing to be worried about. Parthenon is trying to get themselves killed. I don't mind tearing down their temples and flattening their mountains," Mofan said coldly.
"Listen to us first," Tang Zhong said.
"What's there to talk about? Are you three out of your minds? Salan is Salan, and Xinxia is Xinxia. They are two people that can never be the same person. Parthenon is doing something so ridiculous just for the sake of the election! "Mofan said.
Xinxia had successfully become the Saintess. Mofan had a hunch that something was not right. Was it possible that someone was using Xinxia as a pawn?
As he thought, the candidates kept making mistakes as the election approached. Now, it was Xinxia's turn …
The Parthenon Temple must have thought they could not find a better reason to strip Xinxia of her position as the Saintess, so they had come up with such a ridiculous story. The truth was obvious. Mofan had no intention of listening to it.
He was going to Greece right away and bring Xinxia back. If those lunatics of the Parthenon Temple dared to stop him, Mofan would not go easy on them!
"Is she suffering?" Mofan asked.
"She's being imprisoned in the Saintess' Hall in the Hall of the Goddess. She's not suffering, but the Magistrates are already casting the Stone of Guilt," Tang Zhong said.
"I'll go now," Mofan was about to leave, but Leng Qing immediately stopped him.
"Listen to what we have to say before you make a decision. We won't stop you from making any decisions. After all, it's related to the people you care about the most, but I hope you can understand the whole story first, as everything is extremely disadvantageous to Xinxia. If you can't prove Xinxia's innocence and try to take Xinxia away, you'll be making Parthenon and the Holy Judgment Court your enemy. Even if you turn into a demon, you won't be able to take Xinxia away, "Leng Qing told Mofan seriously.
"Alright, I'll listen." Mofan sat down.
He wanted to see what kind of ridiculous evidence Parthenon could come up with.
That was the most ridiculous thing. Xinxia was Salan?
…
"First of all, you have to know why Xinxia is being held captive. It's true that she killed the Saintess Panijia with her own hands. Xinxia admitted to the crime," Leng Qing said.
"Any crime can be established in a fight between the Saintesses. It's reasonable that Xinxia was forced to admit to it," Mofan said.
"Let's assume that Xinxia is Salan. Panijia asked to meet Xinxia alone in the Saintess' Hall. Saintess Panijia had solid evidence that Xinxia was Salan and wanted to confront her. Therefore, Xinxia killed her, but Panijia didn't kill her. As a result, Panijia was trapped in the Saintess' Hall right after Xinxia killed Panijia. No one witnessed the murder, but there were only the two of them in the Saintess' Hall. Xinxia had Panijia's heart beside her wheelchair, and her hands were covered in Panijia's blood. When Panijia was still alive, many people entered the Saintess' Hall and saw Panijia pointing at Xinxia and collapsing, "Leng Qing said.
Mo Fan furrowed his brows.
According to Leng Qing's description, there were many witnesses, and Panijia did not die. From a normal person's point of view, it was undoubtedly Xinxia who killed Panijia, but how did the culprit do it? How did they make Xinxia kill Panijia?
"Mind control. If Xinxia was under mind control, she could have done it," Mofan refuted.
"It was a Psychic Mage. He personally checked if Xinxia was under mind control. The result was that she was not under mind control. A Psychic Mage's mind control would stay in a person's mind for at least seventy-two hours. If Xinxia was under mind control, then her mind would have been imprinted with the caster's mind, but the result was that she was not under mind control. Xinxia was not under mind control, "Leng Qing said.
"Is the Psychic Mage reliable?" Mofan asked.
"He's Pang Lai's good friend, one of the best Psychic Mages in China. He wouldn't frame Xinxia, and it was only a coincidence that he was there. Parthenon was planning to let their Psychic Mage take the test, but Fang Yunya also thought that Xinxia might be a sacrifice in the competition between the Saintesses, so he suggested letting him do the test. However, the result was that there was no Psychic Imprint in Xinxia's mind," Leng Qing said.
"There must be something we can't figure out," Mofan said.
"Mmm, we can put it aside for now, since it's only the fuse that triggered the whole incident. It's not important whether Xinxia was killed or not."
Killing a Saintess …
It would surely shock the whole world, but it was not important when they were faced with the next piece of news.
"Let's talk about why Xinxia is Salan. Tangyue, you go first," Leng Qing said.
Tangyue nodded. Even though it was difficult for her to explain, she still had to tell them the truth.
"Mofan, aren't you curious why I'm a teacher in Bo City?" Tangyue asked.
Mofan nodded. Mofan was quite confused about the whole incident, but he soon confirmed that Tangyue was tracking the Black Vatican as an intern of the Magic Court.
"Do you think Xinxia's age doesn't match Salan's age? The Calamity of Bo City took ten years to plan, and Xinxia was only seven or eight years old at the time. There's no way she could have planned something like that, "Tangyue said.
"It's obvious," Mofan said.
"We've found some information about Salan. Salan is just a code name. It can be divided into the first generation, the second generation, and the third generation. Each generation will choose a successor after inheriting the name … "Tangyue said.
"I know that …"
"So, let's assume that Xinxia is Salan. Xinxia was the successor at the time, not Salan. The Black Vatican members who have been hiding in Bo City for nearly ten years were all buried by the previous generation, "Tangyue said.
"Then why did you point the finger at Xinxia?" Mofan asked.
"You know that the higher the rank of the Black Vatican, the harder it is to identify them. Even the Black Vatican's Gray Cloak Disciples, Black Cloak Clergy, and Blue Cloak Deacons have never seen the true face of a Red Cloak Cardinal, nor do they know her true identity. In order to ensure the iron identity of a Red Cloak Cardinal, the Black Vatican will condense a Cardinal Blood Stone when they become a Red Cloak Cardinal or successor. "
"This Cardinal Blood Stone is the only thing that can prove one's identity. After the Cardinal Blood Stone is condensed, it will split into two pieces, one in the hands of the Black Vatican's Pope, and the other in Salan's possession. When a Red Cloak Cardinal wants to prove their identity to their clergy, they will drip a drop of blood from their finger onto the Cardinal Blood Stone. The Cardinal Blood Stone will absorb the blood to prove that the person is a Red Cloak Cardinal, or Salan. "
Mofan listened attentively. He had heard a little about the Cardinal Blood Stone, but Mofan had no idea how to use it.
"We are the same as you. We don't believe that Xinxia is Salan, but it's unbelievable that Xinxia's blood has indeed merged with the Cardinal Blood Stone," Tang Zhong said.
"Is the Cardinal Blood Stone reliable?" Mofan asked.
Ling Ling, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.
"It's real. There are only two Cardinal Blood Stones that can prove Salan's identity. One is in Salan's possession, while the other was intercepted by the Holy Judgment Court from the Black Vatican's Pope. Grandpa wasn't retired yet back then. Grandpa has confirmed that the Cardinal Blood Stone is of the same origin as the Stone of Guilt. It can't be duplicated, and it can't be replaced after a drop of blood. Therefore, Salan's Cardinal Blood Stone is real. "
Mofan fell silent.
Mofan had learned from Ling Ling that Old Man Bao used to be an authority of the Holy Judgment Court. There was no way that Old Man Bao would set Xinxia up. In other words, the Cardinal Blood Stone was indeed the only thing that could prove Salan's identity. The question was, how did Xinxia's blood merge with the Cardinal Blood Stone?
"It's solid evidence. It's hard to refute," Tang Zhong said.
"Then let's put the solid evidence aside for now. Xinxia has been with me since she was young. How did she manage to turn into Salan and control so many people? Besides, don't you know Xinxia's personality? She's the last person in the world who could possibly be Salan, "Mofan said.
"There's something you might not know …" Leng Qing said.
"What is it?" Mofan asked.
"I believe you will have no choice but to admit that Xinxia is Salan after knowing the truth," Leng Qing lowered her voice.
"Just tell me, I won't believe you," Mofan said.
"Mo Fan, do you remember when the Black Totem Snake sensed a dangerous aura in Hangzhou's downtown? I told you, the big guy isn't afraid of you, but the person behind you. That person is Xinxia, "Tangyue said.
Mofan did not say anything. Tangyue did mention it to him.
"We guessed that there was something inside Xinxia's body that the Black Totem Snake was afraid of. As a matter of fact, it might be Xinxia's other soul. "
"Another soul?" Mofan was even more confused.
"Xinxia is innocent. The Xinxia you know isn't Salan. However, there's another soul inside her body, which is why her body is so weak, making it difficult for her to walk. A person is carrying two souls, which is why her body is unable to bear the burden. "
"And the other soul is Salan!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan felt like his mind was being struck by lightning, as if it was about to explode!
"How is that possible? Nonsense!" Mofan was enraged.
"Mo Fan, don't get too excited. Let me tell you something else that I don't really want to do. "
