Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 171 The Supreme Hall of the Holy City, summoning Sha Yuan and the Emperor's Armor?

Two middle-aged holy judges dressed in sacred robes came to the door, and judging from their aura, they were both top-tier experts among the super-ranked.

The Holy Judge standing in front said:

"Cheng Xiao, regarding your killing of two super-level mages in Venice two days ago, we need you to come with us to the Holy Judgment Court."

Cheng Xiao had already anticipated this, but judging from the other party's tone, he still expressed his dissatisfaction:

"I acted in self-defense, and the person I killed was a criminal assassin from the Assassin's Guild. Don't talk to me like you're guarding a criminal."

They had clearly killed a notorious assassin from the Assassin's Hall who was responsible for many deaths.

The two holy judges from the Holy Tribunal used such an overbearing tone to "invite" him; anyone who didn't know better would think they were going to detain some important prisoner.

It's no wonder that all forces are so afraid of the Holy Judgment Academy, as the Holy Judgment Mages there are all super-rank mages.

His style of doing things is extremely domineering and completely unreasonable.

"Boy, watch who you're talking to!" the Holy Judgment Mage sneered.

"If it weren't for your status and the honor of just winning the university competition, it wouldn't be us coming to invite you; the Holy Tribunal would have issued the summons directly!"

Another holy judge mage said in a deep voice:

"Our time is precious, stop wasting time! If Judge Durank loses his patience, the consequences will be severe."

"It is your honor to be personally questioned by Judge Durank. Others spend a fortune and still cannot even see Judge Durank!"

"What does this have to do with Judge Durank?" Cheng Xiao asked, frowning.

"I told you to stop talking nonsense, didn't you understand?!" the Holy Judge mage standing in front said in a deep voice.

Cheng Xiao stopped asking and said:

"Let me change my clothes."

The Holy Judge glanced at Cheng Xiao, who was still in his pajamas, and snorted coldly:

"You only have three minutes."

Cheng Xiao turned and took two steps, then turned back and asked expressionlessly:

"What are your names?"

"Holy Judgement Mage Poli!"

"Holy Judge Mage Paul!"

The two holy judges proudly announced their names, which was the greatest honor of their lives.

"Alright, I'll remember you."

"."

Hearing Cheng Xiao's slightly cold tone, the two Holy Judges found it naive and laughable.

inside the house.

Mu Ningxue's mental strength was stronger than Mu Nujiao's and Jiang Shaoxu's, and she was startled by the commotion outside the door.

Upon seeing Cheng Xiao return, she slowly raised her eyes and softly asked:

"What happened?"

"I need to go to the Holy Tribunal. Please tell Chairman Han Ji later," Cheng Xiao said.

The words "Holy Judgment Court" undoubtedly struck a chord with Mu Ningxue, causing her to worry.

In the previous two National Games, Qin Yu'er was taken away by the Inferior Court, which shared the same origin as the Holy Court, and sealed on Mount Tian.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it."

After changing his clothes, Cheng Xiao gently smoothed Mu Ningxue's furrowed brows and leaned down to give her a light kiss on the forehead.

Mu Ningxue hummed in agreement.

Unlike the crises she faced before, this time she was facing the Holy Tribunal, and she could no longer trust Cheng Xiao.

If Cheng Xiao really suffers the same fate as Qin Yu'er, she will stand by Cheng Xiao no matter what.

..............................

Upon hearing the news that Cheng Xiao had been forcibly taken away by the Holy Judge, the high-ranking officials of Kyushu were furious.

Cheng Xiao's current status makes him arguably one of the most influential figures in the Nine Provinces.

The Holy Tribunal, however, did not provide any information and took the person away without authorization.

Shao Zheng, Han Ji, and the others had anticipated Cheng Xiao's situation, but they absolutely refused to accept him being taken away in this manner!

When questioned by high-ranking officials of Kyushu, the priest Dulank, representing the Holy Judgment Court, ignored them all.

It wasn't until Shao Zheng personally came to his door that the priest Dulank showed up to explain, but his attitude was very perfunctory.

There was no other way; the priests held the highest positions in the Holy Tribunal, and Durank was the chief judge among the priests.

Before Durant finishes questioning Cheng Xiao, he will absolutely not reveal any accurate information.

"The awards ceremony for the competition between academies is imminent, and the ceremony of the Divine Seal Praise is not far off. Doesn't the Holy Judgment Academy know how much this will affect a student?" Han Ji said in a deep voice.

"I bet it was all planned out of the blue, deliberately held back!" Pang Lai sneered.

"What should we do now? Are we just going to keep waiting?"

"The old priest has received the news and is on his way from Kyushu."

..............................

To the west of the Alps lies a plain nourished by glacial meltwater.

Among them stands a magnificent and ancient city, known as the City of Faith, the highest temple pursued by shamans!

Holy City!

Cheng Xiao followed the two holy judge mages and jumped off their summoned beasts, landing in front of the city gate.

"Isn't this the Holy Tribunal?" Cheng Xiao asked, sounding puzzled.

"No, this is the highest hall of the Holy Judgment Court, the Holy City!" the Holy City mage said disdainfully.

"The Holy Tribunal that you usually see in magic reports is only a small part, which is dedicated to interrogating the most heinous sinners."

"And this core area is accessible to very few people. To be able to enter the Holy City at such a young age, your trip has been worthwhile!"

The two holy judges led Cheng Xiao into the holy city.

At the very center of the Holy City, in the sacred temple, Cheng Xiao had expected to be taken in for interrogation.

Unexpectedly, the Holy Judge turned a corner and led him to a quiet little courtyard next to the temple.

"Wait here. Priest Durank will come to question you shortly," the Holy Judge said, turning to leave.

"Didn't he say he'd been waiting for me here all along?" Cheng Xiao asked.

The Holy Judge ignored him.

Cheng Xiao spoke again:

"I didn't eat breakfast."

"Servants will arrive shortly; just give them their instructions!"

"."

Cheng Xiao gazed in the direction the Holy Judge had left, a cold glint appearing in his dark eyes.

Even the servants for his daily needs have been prepared; it seems they're determined to keep him here for a while!

However, what Cheng Xiao is more curious about now is why Durant contacted him.

It would be ridiculous to think that the Grand Judge would personally interrogate him simply because he was able to kill two high-ranking mages.

It wasn't because of the assassins from the Assassin's Guild, but because he exposed too many things he shouldn't have, thus attracting the attention of the Holy Tribunal.

No, to be precise, they were targeted by the Holy City.

I guess the Holy City is probably figuring out what kind of crime to convict itself of right now.

Cheng Xiao smiled helplessly.

He now has many identities, and he has just won the title of champion in the university competition.

How to reasonably convict the Holy City is something that probably needs to be carefully considered.

But Cheng Xiao didn't mind if the Holy City really dared to attack him, a mere high-level mage, now.

No wonder he summoned the Sha Yuan Undead Empire and the Emperor's Armor.

Regardless of the final outcome, Cheng Xiao remembered this grudge.
