Versatile Mage: Hell Starts, but the Shadow King

Chapter 172 Colorful Compass, Normal Heresy
After waiting for about three hours, High Judge Dulank finally arrived.

Dulank didn't waste any words and went straight to the point and asked:
"Your current cultivation level is only three-element high-level cultivation. How did you kill two super-level mages?"

"I have my own trump card."

"What trump card?!"

"."

Cheng Xiao took out the wooden fish vessel with the incantation engraved on it and handed it forward.

Dulank's curiosity was really aroused.

A magic weapon that can kill a super-class monster in a short time with high-level full-cultivation skills, I'm afraid it can also play a big role in the super-class field, right?

Seeing Cheng Xiao wisely hand it over, Dulank nodded with satisfaction and reached out to take the wooden fish vessel.

Zhi! ! !
When it was about to touch the wooden fish vessel, the golden forbidden lightning lashed Durank's hand like a vine.

Dulank quickly pulled his hand back, and felt a numbness on the back of his hand. It twitched for several seconds before he used his own cultivation to disperse the lightning force.
"I was just about to remind this thing to recognize its master. Why are you in such a hurry, Judge?" Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

Why didn't you remind me to hand it over first? Dulank snorted coldly:
"How brave!"

Cheng Xiao placed the wooden fish vessel on the table and reminded: "You can only watch from a distance. I will not be responsible if anything happens."

The source of the restrictive power of the wooden fish vessel is the power of Ba Xia. Unless a forbidden spell-level figure takes action, the restriction cannot be lifted.

Dulank's current cultivation level is far from enough.
Dulank glanced at the wooden fish vessel and ignored it:

"I believe you. Besides that, there are a few more things I need you to answer."

Without waiting for Cheng Xiao to respond, Dulank continued to speak, this time in a questioning tone:
"What was your purpose in going to the ancient capital? How did you know Saran's true identity? And how did you survive in the end?"

"Haven't I already explained all this clearly in the report to the Magic Association?" Cheng Xiao asked back with a frown.

"I want to hear your personal answer. Just answer the questions and don't ask any questions!" Dulank said in a deep voice.

This condescending tone showed off his usual majesty as a priest.

No matter who you are, you must be treated equally in front of him, because he is the greatest judge of the Holy Court.
Cheng Xiao stared at him for a few seconds and spoke slowly:
“I went to the ancient capital to save my friend Zhang Xiaohou. I learned about Saran’s identity from the Parthenon Saint Asharuya.

"As for how to survive the tide of the undead, I have already demonstrated it in the competition between the schools."

"How was the catastrophe in the ancient capital resolved?" Dulank stared into Cheng Xiao's eyes and his voice became deep.

"How would I know? Just go to the Shayuan and ask the resurrected ancient king yourself." Cheng Xiao responded with a sneer.

After those words were spoken, the room fell into an eerie silence.

After a few breaths, Dulank continued:
"How did you kill the Cardinal? As far as I know, although the Cardinal is not famous for his martial arts, he is very intelligent.

“If Cardinal Leng Jue is killed so easily by you with your high-level cultivation, wouldn’t it make us, the forces that are arresting the Black Church, look ridiculous?”

Cheng Xiao thought for a moment:
"Does Judge Dulank know that the 'Bishop's Blood Stone' of Cardinal Leng Jue has been personally authenticated and received by the Holy Inquisition Mage?"

"Of course I know. I have also witnessed Leng Jue's 'Bishop's Blood Stone' with my own eyes. I can't be wrong!" Dulank nodded.

Cheng Xiao crossed his legs and stopped talking.

Dulank was stunned, then the corner of his mouth twitched.

He originally wanted to use his position as a priest to intimidate Cheng Xiao and make him tone down his edge.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xiao was not under any pressure at all and was not afraid of facing him, the highest priest of the Holy Court.

Cheng Xiao's current attitude seems to be responding: Isn't it ridiculous that your Holy Court can't catch anyone?

"As expected of you, you are the best in the school. What a courage!" Although Dulank praised him, no admiration could be heard in his words.

Then, Dulank asked a few irrelevant questions, and Cheng Xiao answered them perfunctorily.

Dulank didn't care about this, and suddenly asked before leaving:
"I heard that Ye Xinxia, the new Saint of Parthenon, is your sister?"

"Yes." Cheng Xiao asked back: "What's the problem?"

"No problem." Dulank gave an unpredictable smile. "When can I leave?"

"There are still many doubts about you. You need to stay in the Holy City for a few days."

"Then what about my school competition award ceremony and the God Seal Ceremony?"

Facing Cheng Xiao's question, Dulank snorted coldly: "Being able to stay in the Holy City is your greatest honor, but you still care about those insignificant things?!"

"Is this considered imprisonment?"

"The Holy City Institute will not wrongly accuse any good person, nor will it let any criminal go!"

"."

..............................

After leaving the villa, Dulank headed straight for the central temple of the holy city.

The magnificent temple was filled with dazzling light, and in the center of the temple stood an inconspicuous-looking man.

In front of the man, a compass was suspended.

The compass needle was very strange, made up of seven colors, and looked erratic and unreal.
"Archangel." High Judge Dulank said respectfully to the man looking at the compass.

This person is none other than Remiel, one of the seven archangels of the holy city!

"What's the result?" Remiel didn't look back and continued to stare at the compass.

"His answer was flawless, and there was nothing unusual about it." After Dulank finished describing the situation, he continued:
"Archangel, I think he has no ordinary heretic characteristics except that he is a little stronger. You don't have to."

"The scariest thing is that there are no abnormalities." Remiel sighed.
“I haven’t had a single moment of peace since the compass gave its direction.

“No matter how powerful the heresy was, we were able to eliminate it under the guidance of the compass.

"Only this time, I couldn't see the clue given by the compass. I couldn't see it."

Remiel kept talking in a mysterious way, leaving Durank confused.

"If it doesn't work, I'll help you get rid of the problem completely." Dulank asked tentatively.

Remiel shook his head.

“It’s not that simple. Let him live in the city for a while and treat him well.

"If the compass doesn't give any more hints and he can pass the baptism of Holy Light, then we can let him go."

"Archangel, he doesn't seem convinced." Dulank continued to add fuel to the fire.

Remiel ignored:

"Go down."

Hearing this, Dulank did not dare to say anything more:

"understood."

"."

..............................

Return to the other courtyard.

"You will live here for a period of time from now on. You can move around the city freely, but you cannot leave the city," Dulank said.

"Can I contact the outside world?"

"The Holy City is a sacred city. Don't speak so vilely."

"I haven't said anything yet."
