A cold wind blew at the sacred mountain, sweeping the bluish-green petals into the air. The slightly icy floral breeze briefly fondled the faces of the people.
The petals drifting in the wind were incredibly fragile. They soon broke into pieces, scattering in the air as a great storm started pouring down mercilessly.
Ye Xinxia lifted her gaze. Her mood was like the dark and gloomy sky. She once thought the Parthenon Temple had an inviolable, sacred brilliance surrounding it. She once had high hopes when she first arrived at the place, hoping that she could do something with her humble efforts...
However, it turned out that the sacred mountain was a lot more complicated than she had imagined. The Parthenon Temple might have a sacred outer veneer, but it also had the ugliest side to it that had been completely exposed by the cold rain: the disappointing greed of humans!
Why did she even bother putting in so much effort to come here?
She would not mind if she alone was deeply trapped in this swamp, but Mo Fan was also surrounded by the armed force of the Parthenon Temple!
\”Maybe I should go with them, I am the only person they want...\” Xinxia said.
Mo Fan shook his head. There was no way the Parthenon Temple would let any of them go. In order for Izisha to seize the role of the Goddess, they would surely eliminate every risk possible!
\”They are coming,\” Asha'ruiya said in a deep voice.

Under the cold rain and the flying petals, Great Muse Mellaura and Great Magistrate Dulanc were flying toward them, followed by a troop of Golden Sun Knights and an army of Silver Moon Knights. The light of their magic armor was bright enough to light up the mountain.
There were four Holy Court Mages behind Great Magistrate Dulanc, too. Their strength was immeasurable. Han Ji, Zhu Meng, Pang Lai, and the others had tried to keep them busy, but their efforts were to no avail.
Mellaura and Dulanc smiled when they saw that the Black Totem Snake's flesh was badly mutilated.
The magic formation of the sacred mountain had still been powerful enough to inflict serious damage on the Totem Beast. It would prevent them from losing too many elites. After all, even a Super Mage could easily lose their life if they were being careless when fighting against a Supreme Ruler!
\”Enough with the struggle, even a Totem Beast has no chance of escaping from the Parthenon Temple!\” Mellaura grinned coldly.
The Black Totem Snake was unleashing his Domain in the form of a poisonous mist. The blue poison started to spread across the mountain. The poisonous mist would prevent Mages below the Super Level from coming any closer, preventing the army of Advanced Mages from blasting them continuously with spells. Considering the number of Advanced Mages that the Parthenon Temple had, their spells could easily raze the mountain to the ground. The Black Totem Snake's scales had cracked open, thus the continuous blasts were still dangerous.
\”I don't understand, why would you go so far and use the Dark Execution? Is it because you feel better when you use it on Wen Tai's daughter?\” Asha'ruiya asked.
\”You few, deal with the Black Totem Snake's poison!\” Dulanc ordered his subordinates.
They had many powerful Mages on their side. If they teamed up, they would have a great chance of taking out the Black Totem Snake. However, the Black Totem Snake was incredibly powerful. If a battle broke out, anyone could die in the battle! The number of Super Mages in the world was quite limited. Even losing one was considered a great loss. They did not want to go all out with the Black Totem Snake. The best choice they had was to let the army of Adjudicators and Mages of Faith wear out the Totem Beast slowly, since the creature had already been badly injured by the magic formation!
Dulanc and Mellaura were not in a rush, either. They knew Mo Fan and his crew were like trapped beasts. Even though Han Pang Lai, Han Ji, and the others insisted on protecting them, they were currently in the Parthenon Temple. They just needed to assign a few men to keep them busy while they slowly settled the matter on hand. Everything was going according to plan!
\”You are about to die, does knowing the truth really matter?\” Dulanc smiled.
\”It's just so I can tell my adoptive father the truth,\” Asha'ruiya said.
Asha'ruiya still could not understand why Xinxia had to die.
It was true that Ye Xinxia was Wen Tai's daughter, but Izisha had already opened her eyes, meaning that the girl was not the key to Izisha's resurrection. Was Izisha trying to kill Ye Xinxia just because of her hatred for Wen Tai?
If so, they could easily do it behind the scenes. Why would they bother using the power of the Holy Judgment Court on her?
