Chapter 261. Bloodbath is the Best Option
"Fan Ge, aren't you going to ask me?" Xin Xia finally couldn't help but speak.
"Ask what?" Mo Fan said.
"I... I am another person." Xin Xia bit her lip lightly, and it took her a long time to say it.
The less Mo Fan mentioned the most crucial thing, the more complicated Xin Xia's mood became.
"I still have some blurry images in my mind. I killed Penny Jia. I could have saved her with healing magic, but I let her blood drip onto my hand. At that time, I had no emotion at all, as if everything was perfectly normal. That wasn't like me, but it was me," Xin Xia said.
Mo Fan didn't speak, just looked at her.
Xin Xia dared not look directly into Mo Fan's eyes and lowered her head instead.
"Whether it's you or not isn't important. What's important is that I only know you are my Xin Xia, my lover," Mo Fan said softly.
Hearing this, Xin Xia felt a warmth in her heart, but she still looked up at Mo Fan and said, "I dripped blood onto the bishop bloodstone, and I saw with my own eyes that the bishop bloodstone responded."
She didn't want to deceive Mo Fan in the slightest.
Mo Fan still didn't speak, and Xin Xia continued, "When I was very young, I remember going to a certain place, which was probably the Black Vatican headquarters, and I did see the bishop bloodstone..."
"Those things have nothing to do with you." Mo Fan shook his head, interrupting her before she could say more.
Xin Xia was stunned by his words.
"Xin Xia, do you know why you have no physical ailments, yet you cannot walk like a normal person?" Mo Fan asked again.
Xin Xia looked at Mo Fan with some confusion.
"That's because your father is Wen Tai, who was once a Saint Son of Parthenon. Before he died, he infused the Parthenon soul into your body. Your body contains two souls. Although I'm not sure how they made you believe all this, it's certain that your other soul has no connection to the Black Vatican."
"As for your childhood memories, that's because of your mother."
"Your mother is Sa Lang; she was the one who took you to see the Black Vatican's Pope. But at the same time, there is also a Forgetfulness Bug in your body."
Mo Fan paused before continuing, "And based on your arrival at Parthenon and your smooth ascent, I think the mastermind behind it has already been revealed."
Xin Xia looked at Mo Fan.
"The mastermind behind it is the Temple Mother, but it's not because you are Wen Tai's child. The more important reason is that she is the Black Vatican's Pope. When Ye Chang escaped back then, she was relentlessly pursued by Yi Zhisha. And at that time, your mother recommended you to the Pope!"
"She simply wanted you, someone with a divine soul, to become the new Pope and at the same time, the Goddess!"
Xin Xia looked at Mo Fan with some disbelief, because these things were simply too unbelievable.
For a moment, she found it hard to digest.
Mo Fan gently stroked Xin Xia's face and said softly, "None of this matters anymore. Since we're here, today I will clear all obstacles for you. Even that Pope who wants to control you, she will die today!"
With her long dress trailing on the ground, Mo Fan led Xin Xia down from the Sacred Brazier and walked along the cold stone pillars towards the door.
The heavy bronze doors slowly opened, and rays of bright sunlight streamed down. There should have been a feeling of seeing the light of day again, but Xin Xia knew that the true prison was just beginning to envelop them!
On the steps, the Golden Radiance Knights stood with imposing auras, their surging magical energy creating a tremendous pressure that made it difficult to breathe.
Looking further down, two full brigades of adjudicator mages stood, led by Vice Temple Master Xiao Shen, who wished he could personally kill her right now to appease Penny Jia's spirit!
Two hundred adjudicator mages, arrayed in a death formation, ready to unleash all their elemental magic as a destructive breath with a single command, utterly annihilating the tiny figures before them.
Looking even further, Penny Jia's funeral was being held, with many Parthenon Temple members in attendance, and even Holy adjudicator mages wearing the most authoritative holy robes stood among them. Their power was something ordinary people could simply not contend with!
Under such heavy guard, leaving was absolutely impossible!
"Mo Fan, put her down! If you take her one step further outside, the Golden Radiance Knights and adjudicator mages will execute you on the spot!" Kulen shouted loudly.
As the gate opened, everyone saw Mo Fan walking out with Xin Xia. This action was undoubtedly telling everyone on the divine mountain that Mo Fan intended to take her away!
Passing through the Star River Mountain Road allowed Mo Fan to see anyone, but absolutely not to take anyone away.
"Truly, ignorance is bliss." Ya Fa looked at Mo Fan, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"There are always some madmen who do things that people cannot understand."
"Mo Fan, you'd best think carefully. Once you take her out of the Saintess Hall, the Parthenon Temple and the Holy Judgment Court will consider you an accomplice. Although you are the benefactor of the Ancient Capital calamity, Sa Lang's identity is full of heinous crimes, and an accomplice is equally unforgivable!" Sage Su Ti said.
Mo Fan ignored them and looked at Little Flame Belle behind him.
At this moment, Little Flame Belle had already drunk the Liquid of Time, and Mo Fan was waiting for her transformation.
The struggle for Parthenon had always been a bloody affair.
Since that's the case, then let's fight!
After a reshuffle, these people would indeed leave Parthenon severely weakened. But with Parthenon's foundation, it would not be difficult for it to rise to prominence again!
And in that way, Xin Xia would inevitably be able to take control of the situation even sooner!
As Xin Xia gradually grew stronger, Parthenon would still be that Parthenon!
Therefore, what Mo Fan had to do was to kill, to kill everyone who dared to try and stop him.
At this moment, Grandpa Bao and others also rushed over, but his intervention was unsuccessful.
"Gold Sun Knight Commander Ya Fa, why are you still standing there? Go and apprehend that accomplice who tried to abduct the criminal! The Holy Judgment Court has the power to execute on the spot. If he shows any resistance, execute him on the spot!" Duranke shouted loudly to the Golden Radiance Knights.
These words instantly caused a commotion on the peak platform. Many people present already knew that Mo Fan was the hero of the Ancient Capital calamity, but at this moment, Duranke was clearly showing no respect for the Great Xia Nation!
He actually directly issued an execution order like this.
Generally speaking, when such a thing happens, the Holy Judgment Court first apprehends the person, and then the Great Xia Trial Council sends people to negotiate a resolution. No matter how angry the Trial Council might be about Mo Fan's actions, they would still make an exception for him due to his special identity. Duranke wasn't even giving them that chance!
"Duranke, what exactly do you want to do!" Song Qiming demanded angrily.
"What do I want to do? I'm just doing what I, the Grand Judge, should do. If you dare to show any sign of protecting him, I will treat you as an accomplice too!" Duranke said unceremoniously.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh ~ ~ ~!!!!
