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

Chapter 288 What Fear Is There of the Holy Judgment Court? Destroy the Veil of Eri!
Inside the dilapidated meeting room, the three judges who had been spared execution by Lu Ran because of the "stone of innocence" were thrown in were stunned.

They never imagined that a single verdict would save their lives!

Reina opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and said:

"Lu Ran, I can understand that you were so excited to save Ye Xinxia that you accidentally killed them, but you shouldn't have killed Dulanke and the others!"

"By doing this, you will only invite retaliation from the Holy Tribunal!"

Lu Ran had anticipated that the Holy Tribunal would retaliate for killing Grand Inquisitor Durank.

Moreover, even if we don't take action today, will the Holy Tribunal not retaliate?

Saving Xinxia will inevitably lead to enmity with the Holy Tribunal.

Lu Ran is a decisive person; he won't wait until the Holy Tribunal's knife is at his throat before he retaliates.

If you're going to take action, be decisive and make the other person feel the pain first!
"Rayner, do you think they are making a fair judgment?"

Lu Ran sneered, "To tell you the truth, Dulan and his gang have been colluding for a long time. They framed Xin Xia just to gain more power after Yi Zhi Sha is resurrected!"

As soon as these words came out.

The judges, including Reina, were stunned.

Framed?

Izusa is resurrected?!

“No, Izusa doesn’t have a soul, so she doesn’t know resurrection magic!” Reina questioned.

But Lu Ran was too lazy to argue with him at this moment.

'Whoosh!'

In the blink of an eye, several powerful Parthenon Knights, led by Hailong, flew over and landed above the ruins that had once served as a conference room.

Hailong was stunned: "You bastard, you actually killed everyone from the Holy Tribunal?"

Lu Ran sneered, "Aren't there still three left?"

Hailong retorted angrily, "I told you the location of the judges of the Holy Tribunal so you could stop them, not so you could kill anyone!"

Hailong could already imagine the scene of the Holy Tribunal interrogating people in the future.

But Lu Ran is not a timid person.

"If you side with the Parthenon's soul, you've already become the Holy Inquisition's mortal enemy!"

"Hailon, you should be aware of this!"

Lu Ran spoke coldly, and led Ye Xinxia towards the Goddess Palace in front of a group of super-rank knights.

None of the knights present dared to stop Lu Ran.

Even their boss, Hai Long, was stunned by Lu Ran's reprimand; how could they dare to make a move?
"Hailong, what's the deal with Yizhisha that Lu Ran mentioned? Is he going to be resurrected?" Reina asked in a deep voice.

resurrection?

Hailong frowned. He did know some inside information, but he was not involved.

It was just a fleeting moment of thought.

Lu Ran, with Ye Xinxia in tow, had arrived outside the Goddess Palace!

"M-My lord!" A knight pointed in terror at the location of Goddess Peak.

Hailong's pupils contracted: "So fast! Such terrifying spatial abilities!"

Just moments ago, Lu Ran was right beside me, but in the blink of an eye, he was already a thousand meters away!
What terrified Hailong even more was that Lu Ran was able to kill so many judges!

The fire elemental holy spirit behind Lu Ran had an extremely powerful aura!
Invincible Monarch?

No, it's at the sub-emperor level!
Even he wasn't confident he could fight them!

This proves that it was right not to act rashly just now, otherwise Parthenon would probably have suffered heavy casualties!
"The Goddess Temple contains the body of Izusa. What is Lu Ran trying to do?" Reina asked, puzzled.

He couldn't imagine how a goddess who hadn't even mastered the art of resurrection could possibly bring him back from the dead. Unless, she had faked her death!
But, is this possible?

No one dared to make a move after witnessing Lu Ran enter the Goddess Palace, not even Hai Long!

Even he wasn't confident he could defeat the Flame Queen, so how could anyone else?

Despite being the master of flames, he willingly followed behind Lu Ran, a scene that greatly shocked Hailong!
Unbeknownst to Hailong and the others, besides the Empress Yanji, there was also a colossal black dragon that blotted out the sky, hiding in the clouds, its golden dragon eyes watching everything in Parthenon!
At the far end of the Goddess Palace, a spirit coffin sits in the center, the resting place of the goddess Izusa.

Beside her, Saint Asha Ruya stood silently, her posture upright.

As if she had already guessed Lu Ran and Ye Xinxia's arrival, Asha Ruya smiled sweetly.

"You knew we'd come?"

Having already been intimate with Asha'ruya, she was no stranger to him. Lu Ran looked at Asha'ruya.

“I don’t believe you came to Parthenon just to rescue Ye Xinxia.” Asha Ruya smiled, recalling what Lu Ran had told her in Venice.

Looking back now, Lu Ran had been plotting all along!
"Judging from your appearance, is something wrong with Yizhi Sha?" Lu Ran narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked.

“Yes,” Asharuya said in a deep voice.

Lu Ran waved, and Asha Ruya came over to help Ye Xinxia steady herself. Lu Ran then walked over alone.

Inside the coffin, there were already traces of blood, and some tiny wounds, barely visible to the naked eye, were slowly healing.

Salanggan?

This idea popped into Lu Ran's mind.

Since we're already in Parthenon, let's not leave!
Lu Ran's expression turned cold. She had let Salang escape in the ancient capital before, but this time, she couldn't escape!

Just as Lu Ran was deep in thought, a soft chant rang out, echoing throughout the entire Goddess Palace!

Ye Xinxia and Asha Ruya stood there, stunned.

In the distance, outside the Temple of the Goddess, Hailong and his group of knights stared wide-eyed at the woman who slowly rose from the coffin.

Izusa!
It’s a charlatan!
No, or, in her words, it's 'resurrection'.

Lu Ran sneered. Of course, he could tell that this was not a resurrection technique, but a secret method that used 'necromancy' to prolong life and survive in the world.

But to some in Parthenon, it was a miracle.

Yizhi Sha stared blankly at the three people standing in front of her, but she quickly composed herself and said seductively:
"If you're willing to help me, I can give you anything you want!"

In the distance, Hailong had a strange expression.

Lu Ran ignored Yi Zhisha and looked at Hai Long, asking with a smile:
"Now, you have a choice: stand with Yi Zhi Sha, or stand with the person chosen by the Parthenon's soul."

Hailong was stunned; he was deep in thought.

The knights behind him dared not even breathe loudly.

Upon hearing Lu Ran's words, Yi Zhisha's expression quickly turned cold.

The absence of a soul has always been a source of pain for her!

Otherwise, why would she go to such lengths to devise such a grand plan?

Without the Parthenon's spirit, one will never gain the approval of some people in the temple.

Conversely, those who possess a divine soul will rise rapidly through the ranks in Parthenon!

Hailong pondered for a moment, took a step back, and decided not to intervene and not to help anyone!

Lu Ran saw this and thought, if Ruo Hailong chooses to side with Yi Zhisha, then let's eliminate them both today!
Since we're not helping either side, we'll still have value in the future!
so.
"Izusa, die!"

A silver blade materialized in Lu Ran's palm, which he aimed at Yi Zhisha's neck.

From the shadows, the Blue Gold Palace Master, who had been protecting Yi Zhisha, suddenly intervened and blocked Lu Ran's attack for her.

"Flame Princess, burn her!"

Immediately, endless flames of calamity ignited within the Parthenon.
