Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 286 The Divine Soul Appears in the World, the Judgment Ends!
Outside the hall, Hailong, Yak, and the other knights stared wide-eyed!
Hailong was panting heavily, and his eyes were bloodshot!
He had clearly warned Lu Ran to put away his inappropriate thoughts!
But Lu Ran actually tried to take Ye Xinxia out of the Holy Maiden Palace right in front of them.

This is practically shitting on the heads of these knights!

"Good, good! It's been a long time since anyone dared to act recklessly in our Parthenon!"

Yak was so angry he laughed: "Lu Ran, you're so arrogant!"

"But do you think you alone can rival us? Rival the entire Parthenon?"

Hailong narrowed his eyes as Lu Ran walked towards them, carrying Xin Xia in his arms.

Does he have another trump card up his sleeve?!
Yak, the gatekeeper, didn't see Lu Ran's performance on Xinghe Mountain Road, but he saw it all.

He really didn't want to fight such a dangerous person unless absolutely necessary!
This Lu Ran of Kyushu should not be underestimated!
"The thirteen judges of the Holy Tribunal are currently in Parthenon! They are already discussing the ruling against Ye Xinxia, ​​and you actually broke Ye Xinxia's chains, Lu Ran, you had better give us a reasonable explanation!"

“Otherwise, even if we Parthenon don’t cause you any trouble, the Holy Tribunal will not let you off the hook!” Hailong said calmly.

It's the Court of Judgment again.
"The Holy Tribunal has truly raised a fine dog!"

Upon hearing this, all the knights present could no longer sit still and wanted to kill Lu Ran to prove the honor of knights!

Ark was the first to be attacked; he wanted to release the Super Star Palace, but was stopped by Hailong.

"Helion, what do you mean? He insulted not only us, but the entire Parthenon! Are you still going to protect him?!" Yak roared.

"Shut up! If I hadn't stopped you, you'd be the first one to die outside the Holy Maiden's Palace!"

Hailong took a deep breath. With the power Lu Ran had shown on the Star River Mountain Road, he could crush a mere Ark with a single finger!

If a real fight breaks out, countless members of their Knights' Hall will die!
"Lu Ran hasn't even taken Ye Xinxia away yet! Let's hear what he has to say first!"

Ark was stunned, and so were all the knights, but no one dared to refute him; they could only glare at Lu Ran with bared teeth.

"What a fine example of the Parthenon! You've treated the chosen successor of the first goddess as a criminal; you deserve to commit suicide!"

"To join forces with the Holy Tribunal to punish Xia is a crime deserving of death!"

Lu Ran's words completely baffled Ark and the other knights.

Not a buddy?

What first goddess?
Ye Xinxia is Cardinal Salon, so why shouldn't they make a ruling?
The only one who was still somewhat conscious was Hailong.

The successor chosen by the first goddess?
He considered one possibility.
Parthenon's soul!
However, after Yizhisha became the goddess, the Parthenon spirit never appeared again.

Some of the temple's higher-ups believe that the spirit has completely disappeared!
Just as Hailong was wondering, Lu Ran dropped a bombshell!

"The Black Papacy's Cardinal Salan's real name is Ye Chang. She was once the wife of Parthenon's Son, Venté!"

"And Ye Xinxia is their daughter!"

"This is why Ye Xinxia's blood can be sensed by the bishop's bloodstone!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

In front of the vast Holy Maiden Temple, no one dared to utter a sound; everyone silently digested this shocking revelation!

Ye Chang and Wen Tai – anyone who's been in Parthenon long enough would know these two names!
It should be said that it was a household name!
Among them, Heron, as the 'elder' of the Parthenon, has the most authority to speak on this matter!
He was indeed aware of some things between Wen Tai and Ye Chang.

But they had no idea that Ye Chang was actually Salang, and that Wen Tai and Salang actually had a daughter?!

Since Wen Tai's trial, Ye Chang has also disappeared. Unexpectedly, Ye Chang has changed her name and identity, becoming a cardinal of the Black Vatican!

Thinking about some of Cardinal Salan's 'masterpieces' over the years, Heron felt a chill run down his spine!
Could it be true?
But just believing him isn't enough. Hailong paused and said, "Lu Ran, this is only your side of the story."

Nestled in Lu Ran's arms, Ye Xinxia was dazed and didn't know what to say.

At the same time, she also felt a bit bitter.

Am I really the daughter of Cardinal Salon of the Black Papacy?
Lu Ran noticed the unusual state of Xin Xia's mind, but now was not the time to comfort her.

“The Parthenon has been passed down for thousands of years, so there should be a way to verify the existence of the Parthenon’s soul, right?!” Lu Ran said calmly.

These words left the knights present stunned once again.

How is this related to the Parthenon's soul again?
It's no wonder they didn't make the connection; it's just that Parthenon's soul has been gone for far too long, and some even believe that it has vanished from the world.

Only Hailong seemed to realize something. He looked at Ye Xinxia and murmured, "..."

"Could it be that her soul is inside Ye Xinxia's body?!"

Hailong was going crazy!
If this is true, the key to the revival and growth of Parthenon may lie with Ye Xinxia!
Ye Xinxia, ​​she cannot be judged!!
"Brother Lu Ran, is the Parthenon soul really inside me?" Ye Xinxia herself was a little confused.

“Yes, otherwise why do you think your legs can’t move freely?” Lu Ran laughed.

Lu Ran had his reasons for exposing Parthenon's soul.

The Parthenon Temple is all about identifying the Parthenon's spirit; whoever possesses that spirit is the goddess!
This will greatly help in controlling Parthenon!

“Come with me to the judge of the Holy Court of Judgment.”

Now, Hailong no longer has any intention of executing Ye Xinxia!

She has the Parthenon spirit within her!
If Ye Xinxia is executed, and the Parthenon soul within her disappears again, Parthenon will never be able to accept it!
The soul will choose its own master; otherwise, Yizhisha wouldn't have gone to such lengths to obtain it.

"Follow you?"

"No, Xinxia and I will go find them. You should take care of your knights first!" Lu Ran said calmly.

Hailong paused for a moment, then looked at Ark. The faces of the knights were a mix of emotions!
Some people, like him, were surprised and excited by the appearance of Parthenon's spirit.

Some frowned, revealing a gloomy expression.
Hailong suddenly realized that not all of Parthenon's knights were loyal to the Divine Soul!
"The Bloodstone of the Bishop has proven that Ye Xinxia is Salang. What are you waiting for? Do you intend to protect Ye Xinxia and the Black Vatican?!"

When Judge Durank saw that there were still people who hadn't thrown down their guilty stones, he immediately labeled them with a serious accusation!

That means protecting the Black Vatican!

The Black Vatican is recognized worldwide as an evil organization, and everyone hates it!

These words calmed the judges who were still hesitating.

A barely perceptible smug grin appeared on Durant's face.

However, the next moment, a chilling voice interrupted the meeting of the thirteen judges.

"Ye Xinxia is not Salang, but the daughter of Holy Son Wentai. I hereby unilaterally declare that the trial of Ye Xinxia by the Holy Tribunal is hereby terminated!"
