"What … Iza's body was chopped into pieces?" Hai Long and Shawshank were enraged.
The other Golden Sun Knights, who were relatively older, were also infuriated after hearing that.
Iza was the previous Goddess. Many people were loyal to her. Even the Golden Sun Knights were willing to sacrifice their lives for her!
"How is that possible? Are you mistaken!?" Hai Long blurted out in disbelief.
"That's what the Great Muse said. Perhaps Asha'ria is still holding a grudge against Iza for throwing the black Stone into the mountain, thus she decided to take revenge during the chaos. Regardless of whether it's true or not, we can't let her leave the Mountain of the Goddess, "said the Lanjin Temple Master.
"But … she's already inside the magic formation."
"I'll bring some men down the mountain through the Starry Mountain Path to intercept the Black Totem Snake and Ye Xinxia," said the Lanjin Temple Master.
"Got it, Lanjin Temple Master, bring them to the back of the magic formation," Hai Long immediately assigned a group of men to the Lanjin Temple Master.
Palace Master Lanjin led these elite knights and quickly walked towards the mountain path. Going down the mountain from there wouldn't be any restrictions blocking them.
The knights and Adjudicators led by Hai Long and Shawshank were busy confronting the Black Totem Snake. They were unaware of what had happened on the mountain. Asha'ria was aware of the conspiracy behind the incident. She had gone to the back of the Mountain of the Goddess to verify the truth, yet she was almost killed by the Black Totem Snake!
…
After entering the magic formation, Asha'ria raised her head and glanced at the enormous snake that was as tall as a mountain.
The restriction did not affect her at all. After all, it was her adoptive father, Wen Tai, who had set it up. No one on the Divine Mountain was more familiar with restrictions than her.
"Mofan, I'll bring you out of the magic formation!" Asha'ria yelled at the top of the Black Totem Snake's head from the bottom.
Mofan and Xinxia were being whipped by the magic formation too. If it weren't for the Black Totem Snake's protection, they would have been crushed into dust by the magic formation.
Mofan was a little suspicious when he saw Asha'ria.
However, he subconsciously chose to trust Asha'ria. If she was trying to harm him, she could just stand aside and watch.
"Big guy, don't hurt her," said Mofan to the Black Totem Snake.
The Black Totem Snake waved his tail and lifted Asha 'ruiya from the ground. He gently shook his tail and tossed Asha' ruiya to his head.
Asha 'ruiya landed on the Black Totem Snake's head. The ferocious magic formation suddenly came to a stop, allowing the Black Totem Snake to catch his breath.
"Ask your snake to head toward the valley, I'll clear a path for you," said Asha'ria with a displeased expression.
Mofan did not ask any further. He immediately told the Black Totem Snake the route.
The Black Totem Snake was struggling to move even half a step inside the magic formation. Any careless mistake would trigger a stronger magic formation.
However, following Asha'ria's guidance, the Black Totem Snake could clearly feel the magic formation weakening, allowing them to move toward the outer mountain.
"Are you hurt?" Mofan soon noticed the burn marks on Asha'ria's body.
"It's all a conspiracy!" said Asha'ria.
"What happened?" asked Mofan.
"The candidates for the election of the Goddess weren't the four Saintesses, but the previous Goddess, Iza," snapped Asha'ria angrily.
"Isn't she dead?" asked Mofan.
"Yes, that's what we all thought, but don't you forget, Parthenon has the Art of Resurrection!" said Asha'ria.
The Art of Resurrection!
Wasn't the Art of Resurrection the reason why Parthenon had always enjoyed a superior status? However, since there was no one to inherit the position of the Goddess in recent years, the Art of Resurrection had stopped appearing!
Asha'ria glanced at Ye Xinxia and said, "You've always been a sacrifice to bring Iza back to life. Since the first day you stepped foot into Parthenon, someone already knew your true identity. They have been setting up this trap for you, waiting for this day to come. They will bestow you with the Dark Sacred Judgment, allowing Iza to claim her position as the Goddess and inherit the Art of Resurrection that she has yet to acquire! …
"My true identity?" Ye Xinxia was clueless about it.
Didn't everyone just give her the identity of Salan not long ago?
"Don't you have any memory of your childhood? Or did Salan use the Amnesia Bug to make you forget about it?" asked Asha'ria.
"I don't remember," said Xinxia.
"Asha'ria, tell me the truth, Xinxia isn't Salan!" said Mofan anxiously.
"She's indeed not Salan, but her relationship with Salan isn't normal. Mofan, you can't deny it. I don't believe she doesn't have any memory of it, especially the things that happened before she lived in your family," said Asha'ria.
"I really don't remember anything. I only remember that I went to a lot of strange places. I thought it was because I was too young at that time, so I couldn't remember those things. I started to remember that my mother and I finally settled down in Bo City …" said Xinxia.
"Then do you know why you and your mother moved to Bo City?" asked Asha'ria.
Xinxia shook her head.
"Back then, you were being chased by Iza. You were on the run and ended up in Bo City. You are Wen Tai's daughter," said Asha'ria.
Mofan was even more confused. Wasn't Wen Tai's daughter Asha'ria? Why was it Xinxia now?
"I'm only an adopted daughter. Ye Xinxia is his daughter. She has Wen Tai's blood flowing in her veins. Her identity isn't the most important thing, "said Asha'ria.
"Then what is the most important thing?" said Mofan.
"Wen Tai was called the Saint because his cultivation and mental fortitude were superior to his sister Iza's. Even though Iza had inherited the position of the Goddess, she did not inherit the most important thing, the Soul of the Parthenon Temple. Every time a Goddess inherits the position, the Soul of the Parthenon Temple will attach itself to her. The Goddess with the Soul of the Parthenon Temple is the true ruler of the Art of Resurrection. When Wen Tai's name spread across the world, the Soul of the Parthenon Temple automatically attached itself to Wen Tai, allowing him to master the Art of Resurrection. Even though Iza was the Goddess, and was able to dominate the world with her iron fist, she did not receive the approval of the Soul of the Parthenon Temple, nor did she possess the Art of Resurrection, "said Asha'ria.
Mofan immediately recalled Asha'ria mentioning that it was Asha'ria who had cast the black Stone onto Wen Tai. Wen Tai was deemed guilty by the Parthenon Temple, causing the famous Wen Tai to die at an early age. It turned out that the reason Iza was impartial was not because she actually thought Wen Tai was guilty, but because of the terrifying jealousy in her heart!
She was the Goddess, yet she did not receive the approval of the Soul of the Parthenon Temple. It was a huge blow to her, yet Wen Tai's prestige was even greater than Iza's. Even though they were siblings, Iza could not tolerate Wen Tai's existence!
"So this is the real reason behind Wen Tai's death?" asked Mofan.
Mofan was not really interested in Wen Tai's death, but he did not expect Xinxia to be Wen Tai's daughter. In other words, did Xinxia come to Bo City to hide her identity and stay at his place?
"So you're saying that they were the ones who arranged for Xinxia to come to Parthenon and be promoted to the Saintess?" said Mofan.
"The Hall Mother must have learned about Xinxia's identity. She felt guilty toward Wen Tai, so she wanted to promote Xinxia to a higher position. However, her decision was extremely stupid, as she basically handed Xinxia to the people who were trying to resurrect Iza!" said Asha'ria.
Mofan felt like there were still a lot of things that he could not explain. He was about to ask when he saw the Black Totem Snake stepping out of the magic formation of the sacred mountain.
Asha'ria had indeed brought them out of the magic formation of the sacred mountain, but Mofan was not happy at all, as many Mages of Parthenon were waiting for them at the area between the outer mountains and the city.
This time, even the Mages of Faith of Parthenon were involved. Mofan saw an army of Mages at the top of one of the mountains. There were at least a few thousand of them!
At the foot of the mountain, close to the city, he could see another army of Mages. The Mages of Faith of Faith were arranged in groups, while the Adjudicators and Knights were flying in the sky. Some were standing at the highest point, forming a formation from the waist of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. They had no intention of letting the Black Totem Snake escape!
They had wasted too much time trying to break through the magic formation. If they did not break through the magic formation, they would never be able to leave Parthenon. According to Asha'ria's explanation, Mofan knew the people were determined to kill Xinxia. Xinxia's execution was the most important step in the process of resurrecting Iza.
Mofan chuckled when he saw the people of Parthenon in their formation.
Xinxia was not Salan. She was not guilty. The people knew the truth, yet they still gave the order to kill her.
The truth was not important. It did not matter if she was guilty or not. The most important thing was the power. If the power said she was guilty, she would be guilty. If the power said she was innocent, she would still be free, no matter how evil she was! Wen Tai was the same, and so was Xinxia!
"Did that b * * ch Iza really come back to life?" Mofan turned around and glanced in the direction of the magnificent Hall of the Goddess.
"Yes, I saw her open her eyes. Her loyal followers have eliminated all the Saintesses for her. The resurrected Iza will be able to tell the people of Parthenon, 'Since the Candidates have met with misfortune, I have no choice but to continue to be the Goddess'. " Asha'ria glanced at the army scattered across the mountain. A sense of helplessness and despair rose in her heart. She said with a self-mocking smile,
"What's the point of talking about it? We won't be able to escape."
With so many enemies scattered across the mountain, even a Forbidden Mage would be helpless against them!
