"The magic formation of the sacred mountain is extremely powerful. We don't dare to go any closer. Hall Leader, what do you think …" said a Holy Court Magician.
Hai Long was the most familiar with the magic formation of the sacred mountain. The magic formation of the sacred mountain covered an entire area instead of a thin barrier. The Black Totem Snake had already entered the area, and the magic formation was in a mess. Any Magician with a weaker strength would be burned into ashes if they went any closer.
"Surround him. Even if he manages to break through the barrier, he must be on his last breath. We'll remove the magic formation and arrest them at the foot of the mountain!" said Hai Long.
Vice Hall Leader Shawshank quickly sent more Adjudicators over. They quickly surrounded the area.
Every spell that landed on the magic formation was nullified. They were not in a rush to attack. Luckily, the Black Totem Snake was too strong. The magic formation of the sacred mountain was able to inflict serious damage on him, allowing them to subdue the demon snake!
The Black Totem Snake knew that breaking through the magic formation was the only way to leave the sacred mountain. After his tail turned into a bloody mess, he continued to slam his body into the magic formation …
The magic formation danced wildly in the air, spreading to the other mountains. The plants on the mountains were burned into ashes, leaving the place bare.
…
Most people were still lingering on the mountain. Most of them were only here to attend the funeral. They would not mind their own business, nor would they be involved in the shocking battle.
However, many Magicians were still astounded by the strength of the Totem Beast. Even Parthenon's army had failed to stop the Skyscraping Snake. The demon snake was most likely one of the strongest creatures in the world. Even a Super Magician would not stand a chance against it!
"Hall … Hall Mother … This is bad!!" A Wise Woman hastily rushed over from the direction of the Hall of the Goddess on a deer.
The deer stopped in front of the Hall Mother. The Hall Mother immediately frowned and snapped when she saw the Muse panicking, "Don't you think it's already chaotic enough? Let's wait until they subdue the demon snake first!"
"It's … it's Iza's remains. … were … "The Muse was struggling to find the words. Her face was filled with terror.
"Speak!" The Hall Mother said coldly.
"Cut into eight pieces!!" The Wise Woman finally spat out the words.
The Hall Mother's expression changed immediately.
She looked up, her eyes filled with killing intent.
The female sage retreated in fear.
"Go and take a look, but don't tell anyone!" the Hall Mother said to a maid beside her.
The female attendant nodded and immediately mounted the deer beast. She followed the female sage who had come to deliver the message to the Goddess Hall.
The Hall of the Goddess was located at the highest peak of the mountain. It did not take long for the Deer Beast to travel back and forth. The Black Totem Snake was trapped in the magic formation of the sacred mountain, thus he was unable to escape within a short period of time. However, the Hall Mother had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Not long after, the deer beast returned with the maid. The maid whispered into the Hall Mother's ear.
But right at this moment, a commotion erupted out of nowhere, and the bad news spread throughout the entire summit!!
"What did you say? Iza's body was cut into pieces?"
"Ridiculous!! Ridiculous!! "
"Are you knights useless? Why did you allow such an outsider to break into the Hall of the Goddess!?"
"Who did it, who did it!?"
The news spread quickly. Even Song Qiming's side knew about it. He was standing together with Magistrate Renault. Renault looked at Song Qiming, and Song Qiming looked back at Magistrate Renault. They could both see the astonishment in each other's eyes!
Iza was the previous Goddess. Her body was perfectly preserved at the back of the Hall of the Goddess. Her body would only be cremated once the new Goddess took over.
The Peak of the Goddess was the most heavily guarded place in the entire Parthenon. It was impossible to let any intruder in. The body of the previous Goddess was cut into eight pieces. It was the most blatant attack on the entire Parthenon!
"It was a probationary maid, one of Saintess Ender's subordinates. She seemed to know she had no chance of escaping, so she took her own life by poisoning the body of the Goddess," the Wise Woman said to the Hall Mother.
The Hall Mother, the Great Muse, and the other Hall Masters were infuriated!
It was most likely the most humiliating day in the history of Parthenon. Not only did someone kidnap the culprit who had killed the Saintess in front of everyone, someone even took advantage of the chaos to blaspheme the previous Goddess. It was unforgivable!
"Who's the mastermind!?" The Hall Mother was enraged. The whole place fell silent.
That was the previous Goddess they were talking about. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind the outrageous incident, and a faction that did not treat Parthenon seriously!
It was the same as declaring war on the entire Parthenon!
Mo Fan's actions today were already bold and reckless. Who would have thought someone would be even more vicious, disregarding the authority of the Parthenon!?
"I've always heard that Parthenon's greatest miracle is the great Resurrection Spell, so I'm interested to see if it's possible to resurrect a person who was chopped into pieces!" a voice slowly spoke up, directed at the Hall Mother.
The Hall Mother was startled. She turned her gaze to an inconspicuous woman sitting among the guests in disbelief!
The woman was wearing an elegant white dress. It was quite appropriate for her to attend the funeral. She slowly rose to her feet among the panicking crowd. The evil aura she was emitting was completely out of place among the people around her!
She was wearing a huge sunhat, with a red lace net covering her face and neck. The crowd could only see the outline of her face, but they could not see her true appearance …
She was like a female phantom without any warmth. She was emitting a lifeless aura, yet her posture and figure were similar to most beautiful women!
The Hall Mother, Pamise, stared at the woman who dared to utter such words in the Parthenon. Her chest heaved heavily!
"Conti, what are you doing?"
"Are you out of your mind!?"
Many people recognized the woman. She was none other than Conti of the Shoreline Alliance, a reputable authority in the Shoreline Alliance. Who would have thought Conti would hold such a strong grudge against the Parthenon, to the point of sending people to chop Iza's body into pieces and utter such shocking words!
Conti's face, which was covered by the lace net, wore a wild grin. She completely ignored the accusations from the people around her and walked toward the racks.
Soon, she was standing at a place where everyone could see her. She pointed her finger at Judge Renault and tapped him lightly.
Magistrate Renault had no idea what was going on. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of black blood. The blood sprayed half a meter into the air, scaring the others out of the way.
Song Qiming was stunned, too. Renault was fine just a moment ago. Why would he spit out black blood all of a sudden!?
And the black blood …
Every time Ling Ling completed a quest, she would hand the loot over to Song Qiming. Song Qiming had studied the Black Rotten Blood Poison on Chongming Island before!
He was stunned when he saw the black blood that Renault spat out, which was mixed with the poisonous smell of the Black Blood Poison!
Wasn't the terrifying poison exclusive to the Black Vatican? The Blue Deacon, Fang Shaoli, who had used the poison was Salan's student!
"Renault, use everything you have to protect your heart. Once the poison reaches your heart, you are going to die for sure!" Song Qiming said to Magistrate Renault beside him.
Renault was still vomiting blood. His right hand was grabbing Song Qiming tightly. He pointed at the woman wearing the hat and tried to say something, yet he could not utter a single word …
The poison was spreading rapidly. The Holy Court Mage standing guard beside Renault was infuriated. He quickly went up to the woman who was pretending to be a ghost!
"Get out of my sight if you don't want your Magistrate to turn into a dried corpse!" Contly said coldly, with an irresistible order.
The Holy Court Mage was stunned by the woman's aura. He turned around and glanced at Magistrate Renault. He discovered that Renault was still alive with his cultivation, yet it looked like he was going to die at any second!
This turn of events was far too sudden, and it left the other Infernal Judges completely flabbergasted.
Soon, the other Magistrates began to bleed black blood too. Even though they did not vomit blood like Renault, and their condition was not as serious, even the Muses of Parthenon were unable to cure the poison in their bodies. The poison was still spreading. The whole place fell into a panic!
"You … you aren't Contly, who exactly are you? Why did you poison the Magistrate!?" the Holy Court Mage Boli demanded. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Me?" The woman's lips curled into a disdainful grin. She said in a mocking tone, "I'm … Salan!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire summit stage exploded!!!
Salan?
She was Salan!
The Red Cardinal of the Black Vatican, one of the scariest leaders of the Black Vatican, the person who had caused the Calamity of Bo City and the Calamity of the Ancient Capital!
However, wasn't Salan the girl who was rescued by the Black Totem Snake, Ye Xinxia, the girl who was trying to break free from the magic formation of the sacred mountain? Why would another Salan appear on the sacred mountain in front of everyone!?
I'm Salan …
