Chapter 259: Completion of the Challenge
However, the Silver Moon Titan found that its attack had ended without any effect; those black iron chains were still continuously binding themselves around it.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!!!"
The Silver Moon Titan roared repeatedly, its gaze searching for Mo Fan. Soon, the Silver Moon Titan located Mo Fan.
At this moment, the Silver Moon Titan grew even more furious!
It suddenly felt as if it had been tricked!
With Mo Fan's fusion of Chaos and Shadow, he could fight like he was performing magic tricks. Just like now, the Silver Moon Titan attacked repeatedly but couldn't land a single blow on him.
At this point, Mo Fan didn't need to do anything else; the Titan Giant suddenly fell to the ground with a 'thud.'
When the Titan Giant collapsed, everyone on the mountain, from top to bottom, was dumbfounded.
Good heavens, he actually managed to break through the Parthenon Temple's Star River Mountain Road. This was even more difficult than being first in the World Academy Competition!
Pang Lai and others were overjoyed, but the expressions of the Parthenon Temple members on the mountain turned extremely ugly!
Their Star River Mountain Road had been defeated by a Mage in his twenties, four incredibly powerful statues representing the sacred inviolability and might of their Parthenon Temple were all defeated in front of everyone!
The Parthenon Temple's prestige was utterly lost!
"Without that damned Vampire, he absolutely couldn't have gotten up here, absolutely not!!!" Heilong, the Hall Master of the Knight Hall, roared, showing his extreme anger.
Great Sage Mei Ruola's face was extremely grim. If that was the case, this boy's request to see Ye Xin Xia, and the fact that the entire Parthenon Temple, including the Temple Mother, couldn't stop him, was not a good sign.
"But he did get through, after all," Fen'ai uttered.
Fen'ai had always been by Xin Xia's side and had met Mo Fan in Croatia. At that time, she only thought of him as a rather fierce fellow.
At that time, she didn't understand how Xin Xia could like such a person.
But at this moment, she seemed to understand.
"I'm afraid I've become the most unwelcome person on Parthenon Mountain. You'll have to walk in by yourself now, my master," the Vampire Bora said.
Mo Fan nodded and walked towards Goddess Peak.
Upon entering Goddess Peak, a large group of Parthenon Temple members surrounded Mo Fan. Leading them were Heilong, the Hall Master, and Great Sage Mei Ruola.
Mo Fan looked back at Pang Lai, Grandpa Bao, President Han Ji, Zhu Meng, and the others, realizing they had been refused entry and had no intention of letting them into Goddess Peak.
Facing the Temple members, Mo Fan didn't care.
Anyway, most of them were already dead in his eyes.
It was Heilong who, at this moment, coldly snorted and said, "You certainly are something!"
"I want to see Ye Xin Xia," Mo Fan said directly, not wanting to waste words with anyone.
"She is a prisoner now; you cannot see her," Mei Ruola immediately said.
"I passed through the Star River Mountain Road; I can see anyone!" Mo Fan said coldly.
"Great Sage, since he has passed, there's no harm in letting him see her. Besides, there are ten Golden Radiance Knights guarding the Saintess Hall, and a Deputy Hall Master personally patrolling. He won't be able to do anything drastic," another Sage, Xilisha, said.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the Saintess Hall," Fen'ai quickly said to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan nodded.
"You two, follow him. Don't let him get any ideas," Heilong instructed two Silver Moon Knights to closely follow behind Mo Fan.
Mo Fan merely sneered at this, but he didn't care.
The Saintess Hall is located on the most expansive ceremonial platform of Goddess Peak. Any major ceremony is held on this platform, which is comparable to a giant City square.
On the platform, entirely paved with white crystal marble, many people were gathered, a bustling crowd. Some were believers of Saintess Penny Jia, some were her relatives. More than half of the Knight Hall and Adjudication Hall members were also present, all dressed in gray funeral attire, holding a sky burial ceremony for Penny Jia.
All of Penny Jia's belongings were piled in the center of the ceremonial platform, with a wooden boat set up on blue silk divine wood. The boat was filled with Penny Jia's favorite flowers from when she was alive.
Penny Jia's body was placed at the highest point, facing the azure sky, her clothes as pure as snow.
People orderly surrounded the funeral, the scene grand yet solemn and sorrowful.
"Next, we will execute that malicious woman, and then we can let Penny Jia return to heaven peacefully!" Penny Jia's guardian Knight said with anger.
The lengthy ceremony was nearing its end. Officials, councilors, Knights, Sages, and believers had all completed the funeral rites. The final step was to cremate Penny Jia, but clearly, before that, the judgment had to proceed.
"This is the Stone of Guilt. The Holy Judgment Court has judged her guilty in this matter. The guilty one can choose to end their own life, otherwise, we will carry out the execution," Duranke, the Grand Adjudicator of the Holy Judgment Court, said.
"Killing a Saintess and committing such monstrous sins, such a person should have their soul extinguished. How can we let her end her own life? Adjudication Hall members, listen to my command! Bring that wicked woman who killed Penny Jia here!!!" Xiao Shen, the Deputy Hall Master of the Adjudication Hall, shouted angrily.
Xiao Shen was Penny Jia's father, so his emotions were naturally the most volatile. He wished he could personally dig out the murderer's heart!
"Please wait a moment. Someone has passed through the Star River Mountain Road and requested to see Ye Xin Xia. The ancient rules must take precedence. Consider it letting Ye Xin Xia see her last relative," the Temple Mother slowly said.
"Such a person living in this world for another moment is a sin!" Xiao Shen's emotions were clearly agitated!
For him, at this moment, the sooner it was resolved, the better.
"It's only for a moment. Don't you want Penny Jia to accompany you a little longer?" the Temple Mother said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shen's face became extremely grim, but he couldn't refuse. Because he knew very well that if he refused, wouldn't that imply he didn't want to spend more time with his daughter?
But he was also uneasy, so he added, "Hmph, I will personally stand guard. Heaven knows what kind of conspiracy or trick that malicious woman might use to escape with that guy."
This remark made the others laugh involuntarily.
"You're too sensitive. No one in this world can take someone out of our Parthenon Temple. Not even a Forbidden Magic Mage could necessarily do it," Yuluohua, the Chief Gold Sun Knight of the Knight Hall, said.
"You all, follow me!" Xiao Shen ignored their words and directly led two large squads of adjudicator mages towards the Saintess Hall.
One squad consisted of 100 adjudicator mages. Xiao Shen bringing two hundred adjudicator mages seemed like making a mountain out of a molehill to many people!
Even others felt they were overreacting.
However, Xiao Shen simply didn't care.
