\”Why am I considered rebelling when I was only mentioning a past incident? Or perhaps the Holy Judgment Court knew it was a mistake all along, but in order to protect its reputation, it has forbidden others from mentioning it?\” Song Qiming harrumphed coldly. He did not hesitate to accuse Dulanc in return.
Dulanc's expression darkened. He said, \”It seems like you're determined to protect them, but I'm telling you, they still are going to die. The Holy Judgment Court has never wrongly accused anyone. Calling us unjust is nothing but a one-sided statement!\”
Song Qiming kept quiet. After all, it was true that he wanted to protect Mo Fan and Xinxia. He was extremely familiar with Mo Fan's personality.
\”Captain of the Golden Sun Knights, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you taking down the prisoner's accomplice? The Holy Judgment Court has the right to execute the prisoner on the spot. If he dares resist, you have the right to execute him!\” Dulanc declared.
The people nearby were startled by his words. Many had learned that Mo Fan was the hero of the Calamity of the Ancient Capital, yet Dulanc was not showing any face to China by giving the order to execute Mo Fan on the spot.
Normally, the Holy Judgment Court would only detain the offender and ask China's Enforcement Union to send their representative over to decide how they would deal with the offender. However, regardless of how infuriated the Enforcement Union was, they would surely be merciful considering Mo Fan's contributions. Dulanc was not willing to let Mo Fan go!
\”Dulanc, what do you think you are doing!?\” Song Qiming snapped.
\”What am I doing? I'm just doing what a Great Magistrate should do. If you try to defend them, I'll treat you as their accomplice too!\” Dulanc said.
\”Old Bao, it's meaningless to talk with someone like him.\” Mo Fan understood Old Bao's intention. He wanted to argue in favor of Xinxia, hoping that someone reputable would step forward and question the verdict, so they could further investigate the matter.
However, Mo Fan knew it was unlikely, judging from the Great Magistrate's reaction.
Mo Fan was observing the situation calmly. Somehow, he felt that the Great Magistrate was very eager to sentence Xinxia to death. What exactly were the benefits tied to the conspiracy that they had to go to such extremes?
---
Mo Fan felt a great pressure directed at him. He lifted his gaze and saw a man with a malicious grin approaching him.
\”Yafa, he hasn't left the hall, you are not allowed to do any harm to him,\” Glorkian said.
\”The Great Magistrate has already given the order, I'm just following it. It's quite obvious that he's trying to save the prisoner!\” Yafa continued forward.
He was very curious where this Advanced Mage had gotten the courage to dare provoke the crowd. He could not even defeat the weakest Golden Sun Knight with his petty strength!
\”Mo Fan, don't come out!\” Tisu warned.
As long as Mo Fan did not bring Xinxia out of the hall, no one would do anything to him. Mo Fan's status had risen too far. Even the Great Magistrate would be punished if he abused his power!
\”I'm leaving with her. If any of you try to stop me, I won't show any mercy!\” Mo Fan said coldly.
Mo Fan stepped out of the entrance after finishing the sentence.
He was holding onto Xinxia tightly. He walked down the stairs under the crowd's stare. The Golden Sun Knights nearby were at loss. Perhaps they were confused by the incident too, and could not believe the kind-hearted Xinxia had suddenly turned into a murderer and a Red Cardinal of the Black Vatican.
\”You are too full of yourself. It doesn't matter if you've won the World College Tournament, you're nothing but a little ant in our eyes!\” Yafa shouted furiously.
Magnificent Star Constellations appeared around him. Seven of them combined into a brilliant Star Palace containing an overwhelming amount of energy in front of Yafa.
\”Thousand Leaves Saber: Slaughtering Wind Slash!\”
Fierce golden winds, like giant scythes, swept at Mo Fan from all directions.
The golden scythes combined into a giant scythe as tall as the Saintess' Hall. It came down rapidly, aiming right at Mo Fan and Xinxia!
Mo Fan calmly faced the Super Spell. He was holding an orb covered in ancient runes in his hand. He tossed the orb into the air when the Slaughtering Wind Slash approached him.
A huge mist instantly spread across the place, limiting the vision of those watching. A faint, black outline appeared in the mist, before growing rapidly...
The stairs at the entrance of the Saintess' Hall were soon fully occupied. The Golden Sun Knights surrounding Mo Fan and Xinxia realized that something was not right. They quickly fled into the distance.
Yafa's Slaughtering Wind Slash landed on the enormous figure in the mist, yet it did not seem to inflict any damage on it. Mo Fan and Xinxia were behind the black figure, and perfectly unharmed!
Yafa stood still, staring at the mist that was expanding and dissipating into the surroundings. He saw a pair of huge, terrifying eyes in the mist, and immediately felt a great chill running down his spine, as if he was soaked in icy water.
