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

Chapter 290 The woman in red is arrested, the Pope appears, and angels descend!

Among the crowd, the noblewoman named 'Conti' visibly panicked for a moment.

The knights present were all at least super-level mages with strong mental power, and they clearly noticed that something was wrong with 'Conti'!
Beside Lu Ran, Hai Long's eyes flashed.

Now that we have decided to stand with Ye Xinxia and the person chosen by Parthenon's soul, it is time to show our strength!
Moreover, Salam deserves to be punished by everyone for his crimes!
"What are you all standing there for? Take down Salang!" Hailong roared furiously!
The knights behind Hailong were stunned!
Fortunately, a quick-witted person arrived behind Salang and blocked her path.

Seeing this, the other knights were also annoyed that they were a step too slow and missed their chance to perform.

In just a breath or two, the Ocean Alliance's 'Conti'—no, it should be said that Cardinal Salon of the Black Vatican—was completely surrounded.

All the sages present found it incredible.

Candy is an envoy representing the Ocean Alliance and making peace with Parthenon, how could she be Cardinal Salon?

Could there be some misunderstanding here?
But no one spoke up for them.

Nobody wants to get involved in this, because if it's not handled properly, it could cost them their heads!

Among the many sages was Parthenon’s matriarch, Pingpamish!

A fleeting look of surprise, confusion, and panic crossed her face!

Pamishi never expected that Lu Ran would see through Salang's disguise and expose her so brazenly!

Today, Salang is truly trapped, even with her help.
These emotions went unnoticed by others.

But Lu Ran, looking at the big picture, would he have come here so easily if he hadn't already figured out the quagmire of Parthenon?
This Lady Pamisi is none other than the White Pope of the Black Papacy!

The founder of the Black Vatican!
Who would have thought that the Pope, a figure of great stature, is the matriarch of the Parthenon, the holy land of white magic?!

She has great ambitions and wants Ye Xinxia, ​​who possesses the soul of Parthenon, to rise to power, and after she succeeds as the goddess, she will succeed as the white-robed pope of the Black Church.

In this way, both the legitimate and criminal worlds belong to the Black Vatican!
This must be her long-cherished wish!

However, with Lu Ran around, she naturally wouldn't be allowed to succeed in her plan.

A fleeting thought of killing intent crossed Lu Ran's mind, but it quickly subsided.

Later, we will need the Temple Mother Pamis to help Ye Xinxia confirm the existence of Parthenon's soul.

As an elder of the temple, she held immense prestige.

Moreover, she was part of the faction that wanted to help Ye Xinxia rise to power.

So Lu Ran decided to let her off the hook for now!
How can we end things hastily when we haven't squeezed every last drop out?

“Lord Lu Ran,” Hai Long frowned and reminded him softly.

They had surrounded Salang, just waiting for Lu Ran's order to take him down, or even execute him!

But who would have thought that Lu Ran was in a daze!

Not far away, a bad feeling welled up in the heart of the temple's mother, Pamis, but she did not know why.

Her papacy should not be exposed!

Sure enough, Lu Ran returned to normal the next second, and his gaze was fixed on Salang again.

"Sarang, do you have any last words?"

Surrounded by knights, Salang knew he was doomed.

This place had long been covered by a tight net laid by Lu Ran, with the space sealed off, so even if she had a spatial scroll in her hand, she couldn't escape.

She didn't ask Lu Ran how he had figured out her identity.

Saying these words when you're about to die is futile.

Before she died, she simply looked quietly at Ye Xinxia beside Lu Ran, her expression extremely complicated.

Salang had planted the seed of forgetfulness in herself, so in this state she did not remember anything about her daughter.

But she was a cardinal after all, so she naturally knew some of the general facts, though she simply didn't want to recall them.

Ye Xinxia was equally conflicted. Her own mother was actually a cardinal?
Why.
Several minutes passed, and no one dared to urge Lu Ran to make a decision.

Suddenly, Lu Ran grabbed Ye Xinxia's hand. Ye Xinxia seemed to sense it, struggled and hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes and slowly nodded.

She knew that this was a choice made for her by her brother Lu Ran.

Salam could kill her, but he could choose a time when she wasn't present.

But right now, she doesn't need it anymore; Lu Ran saved her life.

That was true in Bocheng, and it is true now.

There's no mother and daughter reuniting with tears in their eyes; the one being besieged and killed is a cardinal from the Black Vatican!

"Kill her!"

As soon as Lu Ran finished speaking, a sharp blade pierced through Salang in an instant, leaving a small bloody hole in her head.

Instead of letting Yan Ji set the fire, I left her with her body intact. This is my mother-in-law's last act of respect!

Salam died and lay on the ground in complete silence.

After confirming that Lu Ran had no objections, Hai Long suddenly shouted:
"Bring the Bloodstone!"

Although they had accepted the fact that this person was Salam, some in Parthenon were still unsure.

Then let's use the truth to slap them in the face and make them obediently take sides!
During this time, Hailong also publicly announced that Ye Xinxia was innocent!

No one dared to raise any questions, but they were still puzzled: Didn't Ye Xinxia's blood also illuminate the bishop's bloodstone?
On what grounds was she found not guilty?!

But the next moment, Lu Ran slowly revealed the truth.

"Because Ye Xinxia is the offspring of the late Saint Wen Tai and Cardinal Salan of the Black Papacy!"

"Sarang, also known as Ye Chang, I believe everyone here knows who she is!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!

No wonder, no wonder Ye Xinxia's blood could ignite the bishop's bloodstone!
It turns out she has Salang's blood.
The truth is revealed: Ye Xinxia, ​​who possesses the soul of Parthenon, has seen her status in Parthenon 'ascend' after experiencing the Bloodstone incident!
A large number of supporters emerged, supporting her to become the new goddess!
During this period, Lu Ran did not leave Parthenon.

He had already set up coordinates in Asuka City so that he could return immediately should anything happen there.

Right now, news from Parthenon indicates that they intend to kill Isa, kill Salang, and kill the top-ranking official, seizing the position of goddess with ruthless methods.
Most importantly, the appearance of the sub-Empress Flame Princess and the Emperor Black Dragon Emperor!
These announcements are bound to cause a sensation.

And Lu Ran was making preparations for this!
Three days after killing Isa and Salang.

Three uninvited guests arrived outside the temple.

Compared to the Holy Tribunal, these three are the ones Lu Ran should pay more attention to.

Sariel, who resembled a bald monk, spoke softly:
"Michael, Remiel, are you sure we want to make a move in Greece?"

"You must understand, once we leave the Holy City..."

Remiel raised his hand to interrupt, coldly saying, "If an archangel were to arrive, it would indeed be difficult to defeat the opponent!"

"After all, he has a Black Dragon Emperor backing him up!"

As for the Empress Yan Ji, none of the three archangels took her seriously.

The difference between a sub-emperor and a true emperor is like heaven and earth; one can be destroyed in the blink of an eye!

What truly made them wary was the imperial black dragon and the strange power emanating from Lu Ran!

"But now that we three archangels have arrived, his sins are enough for us to return to the Holy City in glory!"

As soon as Michael finished speaking, a cold, eerie voice echoed from within the Parthenon:

"Three angels have arrived?"

"I have been waiting for you for a long time."
