"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh ~"
The cold air filled the entire Divine Mountain. The wet petals of the emerald blue flowers drifted everywhere. They carried a cold fragrance as they brushed past one's face.
These flying flowers were extremely fragile in the wind, and under the sudden and merciless downpour, they were reduced to countless fragments, as if they were cotton.
Ye Xinxia raised her head. Her mood was like the dark and gloomy sky. In the past, the Parthenon Temple was always shrouded in a layer of sacred and inviolable radiance. At the beginning, she had also come here with such beautiful expectations, hoping that she could do something with her meager strength …
But this sacred mountain was far more complicated than he had imagined. She was wrapped in a layer of the most glorious coat, but at the same time, she also had the ugliest side. After the cold rain washed over her, the exposed human nature was simply chilling to the core!
Why did she try so hard to come here?
She would not have any regrets if she was stuck in the same situation, but even Mofan was surrounded by the entire army of the Parthenon!
"Why don't I go with them? I think they are after me …" Xinxia said.
Mofan shook his head.
There was no way the Parthenon would let them go. In order to ensure that Iza could continue to be the Goddess, they would not leave any potential trouble behind.
"They are coming," Asha'ria said in a deep voice.
Great Muse Melora and Great Magistrate Dulanc flew over under the dark clouds of rain and flying flowers. They were followed by a group of Golden Sun Knights and a whole regiment of Silver Moon Knights. Their shiny magic armors were enough to light up the entire mountain range.
Four Holy Court Mages were supporting Great Magistrate Dulanc. The strength of the four Holy Court Mages was immeasurable. Han Ji, Zhu Meng, Pang Lai, and the others tried to stop them, but it was in vain.
Méjorat and Dulanc grinned when they saw the Black Totem Snake's mangled body.
The magic formation of the sacred mountain was quite powerful. It had managed to inflict serious damage to the Totem Beast. It would save them a lot of trouble. After all, the Totem Beast was a Supreme Ruler. It would cost him his life.
"Why bother struggling? This is the sacred mountain of the Parthenon Temple. The Totem Beasts have no chance of surviving, either!" Méjorat grinned coldly.
The Black Totem Snake unleashed his Poisonous Mist Domain. The blue poison began to spread across the mountain. With the Poisonous Mist Domain, it was enough to prevent Mages below the Super Level from getting close to the place, thus preventing them from being bombarded by the army of Advanced Mages. With the number of Advanced Mages in Parthenon's army, the spells they cast together were enough to raze the mountain to the ground. The scales on the Black Totem Snake's body were severely damaged.
"I don't understand. Why do you have to go through so much trouble to carry out the Dark Trial? Could it be that treating Wen Tai's daughter like this would make you more satisfied?" Asha'ria questioned.
"You guys, take care of the Black Totem Snake's Poisonous Mist Domain," Dulanc said to his men.
They did have a lot of experts on their side. If they were to team up against the Black Totem Snake, they would not necessarily lose the battle. The problem was, the Black Totem Snake was extremely savage. If they were to fight it out with him, they would lose one of them. There were only so many Super Mages in the world. If one of them died, there would be one less. They did not want to end up in a life and death struggle with the Black Totem Snake. Their best option was to send the Adjudicators and Mages of Faith to slowly wear the Totem Beast down. After all, the magic formation of the sacred mountain had already inflicted serious damage to the Totem Beast!
Dulanc and Méjorat were not in a rush, either. They knew Mofan and the others were already cornered. Even though Pang Lai, Han Ji, and the others were trying their best to protect them, they were still in Parthenon. They only needed to send a few people to keep the Totem Beasts busy while they slowly dealt with the situation. Everything was still going according to their plan.
"You're going to die soon. Why are you being so cautious?" Great Magistrate Dulanc said with a smile.
"So that I can explain it to my foster father," Asha'ria said.
There was one thing that Asha'ria did not understand. Why did they insist on killing Ye Xinxia?
Ye Xinxia was indeed Wen Tai's daughter, but Iza had already opened her eyes, implying that Ye Xinxia was not the key to resurrecting Iza. Was Ye Xinxia's death just because Iza was trying to kill Wen Tai out of hatred?
If that was the case, why did they have to do it secretly? Why did they have to use the Holy Judgment Court's power!?
"Wen Tai is a troublesome opponent. He knew he was going to die soon, so he used the power of the Dark Judgment to seal the Soul of the Parthenon Temple into her body," Dulanc pointed at Ye Xinxia and said without hesitation.
"The Soul of the Parthenon Temple is inside her body?" Asha'ria came to a realization.
Mofan glanced at Xinxia too.
"Yeah, the Holy Judgment Court isn't doing things without evidence. Another soul is indeed sleeping inside her body, but it's not Salan's soul, but the Soul of the Parthenon Temple that Iza needs the most. Wen Tai used the power of the Dark Judgment to seal the Soul of the Parthenon Temple into her body. The only way for the Soul of the Parthenon Temple to see the light of day again is to use the Dark Judgment again, "Dulanc said.
Xinxia's legs were still weak because there were two souls in her body. She couldn't bear the burden … This was not a lie!
However, to everyone's surprise, these people had come up with such a huge lie just to reclaim the Soul of the Parthenon Temple. They had convinced everyone that Xinxia was Salan. Even Xinxia herself thought the lie was real!
If Salan had not shown up in person and exposed the truth, everyone would still be in the dark!
"Aren't you afraid of offending China's royal court and China's Enforcement Union by doing this?" Asha'ria said.
Mofan, Xinxia, and the Black Totem Snake were all from China. Song Qiming, Pang Lai, and the others most likely knew the truth, yet they were still trying to kill them. They were basically going to fall out with China!
"China's royal court, China's Enforcement Union? Asha'ria, as an important member of the Parthenon Temple, how could you say something so spineless? The Parthenon Temple and the Holy Judgment Court have never cared about the feelings of any country. We don't have to worry about the royal court and China's Enforcement Union. Once Iza obtains the Soul of the Parthenon Temple and obtains the real Art of Resurrection, the royal court and China's Enforcement Union might even beg us for mercy. Everyone is afraid of death, especially the authorities and leaders. As long as we give the Ancient Court and the Enforcement Union a chance to resurrect China, do you think they will still fight us for the sake of a few insignificant people like you? Once we have the Art of Resurrection, we will have everything under our control! "Dulanc burst out laughing. He simply thought Asha'ria's idea was too naive.
"Iza has already brought the Parthenon Temple to its peak without the Soul of the Parthenon Temple. Once we have the Art of Resurrection, even the Magic Associations of the Five Continents will have to lower their heads before us. Asha'ria, Iza has always been fond of you. She has always treated you as a niece that she is willing to nurture. She might not be satisfied with Panijia. I believe you understand what I'm trying to say, so why do you have to go against her and choose a dead end?" Méjorat said.
"Who do you think put the Probationary Servant in Iza's coffin? I only regret that I didn't do it myself. Otherwise, I would have smashed Iza into pieces! "Asha'ria said coldly.
"Did you collude with Salan?" Méjorat blurted out in astonishment.
"I didn't know she was Salan at first, but her suggestion is what I've been wanting to do for years!" Asha'ria said.
"Well, well, well, you've hidden it well. If you're so displeased with Iza, I'll tell her what you said, so she'll treat you well!" Méjorat said.
…
"Wu ~ Wu ~ Wu ~"
The howl of an elemental storm suddenly echoed in the sky, like a giant knell of death tolling in the Citadel of Athens.
While Dulanc and Méjorat were trying to buy some time, the Holy Court Mages had gotten rid of the Black Totem Snake's poisonous mist. The Adjudicators and Mages of Faith stood at the highest points and cast their spells at the enormous Black Totem Snake!
The first spell to strike the mountain was the Adjudicators' Sky-Flame Funeral. The sky was set on fire. The light of the flames lit up half of the city below the mountain. Heavy rain poured down from the sky, so densely packed that there was no gap between them. The area was so huge that there was no room for anyone to dodge.
The rain of fire that filled the sky was indeed like a grand funeral. Looking around, destruction covered the sky and earth, forming a baptism of fire that was like the end of the world!!
Under this terrifying rain of fire, how insignificant were humans?
"Ssssss ~!"
The Black Totem Snake lifted his head and stared at the Sky-Flame Funeral. He uttered a furious roar without any sign of fear!
A Totem Seal appeared on his mangled body once again. The Black Totem Snake sprang into the air and formed a circle of Totem Seals in the air. The circle was emitting the glow of the Totem Seals …
The rain of flames filled the sky. However, the flames that landed on the circle of Totem Seals were immediately dissolved, as if they had never existed in the first place.
"Keep going, kill the Totem Beast!"
Dulanc said coldly to the Lanjin Temple Master behind him. The Lanjin Temple Master waved his hand and fired a blinding white light into the sky, giving the order to the two armies to attack!
The Adjudicators paused for a moment. On another mountain ridge, Star Patterns and Star Constellations that looked like falling stars suddenly lit up. The Wind Mages among the two thousand Mages of Faith cast Destructive Storm. Countless Wind Spells combined into a terrifying black shadow, which quickly combined into a gigantic Black Tortoise Dragon …
