Chapter 254: To Condemn Someone, You Can Always Fabricate Charges.
Upon re-entering Greece and arriving at the Acropolis of Athens, Mo Fan headed straight for Parthenon Mountain.
A slight delay in the season meant that the true blooming period was in the recent days, and the mountain, ablaze with vibrant colors, looked like a painting at first glance, so beautiful it seemed otherworldly.
Petals and catkins drifted into the Acropolis of Athens, into the tall buildings and streets, enveloping the entire City in fragrance.
Mo Fan looked up, through the honey-colored petals and emerald-blue leaves, gazing at the most sacred and serene Goddess Hall on Parthenon Mountain, his expression remarkably calm.
This was something unavoidable.
He had no intention of avoiding anything; it was merely the thought of Xin Xia having to endure some hardship here that displeased him.
"Mo Fan!" At this moment, a voice sounded from the side.
Mo Fan looked over and saw Pang Lai, President Han Ji, and Zhu Meng; they seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
Zhu Meng, still with a full beard, walked over with a serious expression, looking at the determined Mo Fan and asking, "Have you thought it through?"
"There's nothing to think about," Mo Fan shook his head and said.
"We cannot help you," President Han Ji hesitated before saying.
If Mo Fan truly encountered a great crisis, the three of them would naturally go all out to assist him, and Tang Zhong would also come along. With their combined strength, they could resolve whatever Mo Fan was facing.
But this time, they were truly powerless. The might of the Holy Judgment Court did not tolerate any Magic Association of any country easily challenging it. Once these few individuals, representing the Great Xia Imperial Court, the Magic Association, and the Great Xia Council respectively, intervened and disrupted this Holy Judgment, it would surely stir up an even greater calamity.
"We will follow you. All we can do is rescue you from Parthenon and the Holy Judgment Court if you encounter a crisis," Zhu Meng said in a deep voice.
"No need, just watch," Mo Fan shook his head and said.
With that, he intended to head directly up the mountain.
At this moment, Pang Lai said, "Wait a bit longer, and see if there's any news from the old divine official."
President Han Ji specifically explained, "Oh, that's Grandpa Bao from your Qingtian Hunter Agency."
"No need. To condemn someone, you can always fabricate charges. Since they've already decided to slander Xin Xia, there's nothing to question," Mo Fan said.
Pang Lai had actually guessed this outcome. But he still didn't want Mo Fan to be so impulsive, after all, he was facing the entire Parthenon!
Walking up the mountain path, Mo Fan passed through the Faith Hall, bypassed the Adjudication Hall, and soon arrived at the Star River Mountain Road leading to Goddess Peak.
And Pang Lai indicated that if Mo Fan wanted to break through, he should break through the Star River Mountain Road.
Mo Fan also walked directly over.
"Sir, this is the Star River Mountain Road. If you do not have permission and step through this gate, you will immediately die without a burial place. Please consider carefully," a Judgment Mage at the arched stone gate said with extreme solemnity.
"I have considered it carefully," Mo Fan replied.
Pang Lai knew the dangers of the Star River Mountain Road better than anyone, and upon seeing Mo Fan step into it, his face immediately changed.
This boy really doesn't think at all!
When Pang Lai attempted it back then, he retreated when he met with difficulties. But Mo Fan today was even more resolute than his past self, vowing not to stop until he saw Xin Xia. If he failed, his entire magical cultivation would be completely ruined.
But clearly, Pang Lai also knew that this was not something he could stop.
"Star River Mountain Road, an intruder!!!"
"Star River Mountain Road, an intruder!!!"
"Star River Mountain Road, an intruder!!!"
The high-pitched voice quickly echoed throughout the entire sacred mountain. The solemn ancient bell struck with a deafening sound, having not rung for who knows how many years, sounding so heavy!
The Star River Mountain Road had deep cyan chaotic light interweaving. From anywhere on the sacred mountain, one could see this unusual energy swaying.
Just as Pang Lai said, once an intruder stepped inside the archway, the suppression barrier would activate, instantly enveloping the entire long, wide mountain path. Even the sky above was completely sealed off. Mo Fan felt as if he was standing in a chaotic tunnel, unable to see anything around him, only able to make out four murderous statues standing at different tiers of the mountain path as he looked up the slope.
Mo Fan could feel his power being suppressed; this oppressive force significantly reduced Mo Fan's cultivation.
Someone was breaking through the mountain; this news immediately caused a sensation throughout the entire sacred mountain. Even the believers in the Faith Hall heard it, and it spread at an extremely fast pace throughout the entire Acropolis of Athens…
It was like an ancient taboo; when a brave person came to break it, it was enough to attract attention!
Below the mountain path, those who heard the news immediately swarmed from the Faith Hall, and soon people passed through the mountain path barrier and saw the back of a young man, walking step by step up the stairs!
"That person… isn't that Mo Fan, who ranked first in the World Academy Competition??"
"It really seems to be him. What is he doing? Breaking into the sacred mountain can have very serious consequences!"
"."
Soon, someone recognized Mo Fan, the intruder of the Star River Mountain Road, and discussions immediately spread throughout the entire mountain.
Before long, the area below the mountain path was already crowded with people. They looked in great surprise at this Great Xia student, who had shone brightly in the World Academy Competition, completely unable to comprehend his reckless actions.
At the top of the mountain path, the people from the Knight Hall quickly appeared at the exit. They gathered there, able to overlook the entire Star River Mountain Road, which was enveloped by the barrier, and could also see the seemingly tiny Mo Fan.
"Who is he?"
"No matter who he is, he is bringing about his own destruction!" Heilong, the Hall Master of the Knight Hall, said coldly and mercilessly.
"He's probably here for Ye Xin Xia," Coulon said.
Coulon and Fen'ai stood together. Coulon was originally Xin Xia's guardian knight. As Xin Xia's status continuously rose, Coulon, as her guardian knight, also received very high treatment. But who knew that a sudden change would occur, which made Coulon feel a surge of lingering fear.
To be honest, he initially didn't want to believe it and thought it was absolutely impossible, until all the evidence was laid out, Coulon had no choice but to accept the fact!
"What a reckless man. What's the use of this? No one can break through this mountain path!" Fen'ai said angrily.
"He seems to have reached the first statue."
"Few of those so-called geniuses can defeat the Greek Bronze Beast!"
In the eyes of many, Mo Fan was overestimating himself, and even, he was completely here to die.
As for Mo Fan, he couldn't hear what the other party was saying, but he could guess in his heart. They thought he was overestimating himself.
Mo Fan stepped into the same tier as the first statue. He turned to stare at it, and the statue's single eye suddenly opened, staring fixedly at Mo Fan, exuding a chilling evilness!
This was the first statue—the Greek Bronze Beast!
