Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 200: Standoff at the Parthenon!

Led by a golden knight, Jiang Yuan and Mo Fan walked through a tall bronze door.

"rumble."

The heavy bronze doors closed, instantly trapping the two inside the palace, but their minds were elsewhere.

Jiang Yuan walked ahead, following the firelight. The stone pillars on both sides, under the dim light, did not have any sense of holiness or solemnity, but instead appeared sinister and terrifying.

Upon reaching the innermost part, a jar of flames was burning fiercely.

A massive sacred pillar stands in the center of the sacred fire altar, and at the base of the pillar, a frail woman is bound by thick, silver iron chains.

Ye Xinxia did not cry out, nor did she despair.

His face was deathly pale, and he was thin and haggard, no longer possessing his former vitality.

Her eyes were fixed on the two people who entered.

"I feel like I'm dreaming. Brother Jiang Yuan, Brother Mo Fan, is that you two?"

Jiang Yuan frowned.

Xiao had anticipated this scene, but seeing it with her own eyes still filled her with unbearable pain and anger.

What was the necessity of the Parthenon's existence?

Despite possessing powerful support-type and healing resources, it doesn't bring many benefits.

This defeats Athena's original intention in building the Parthenon!
"Xinxia!!" Mo Fan shouted and rushed over impatiently.

Jiang Yuan was even faster, instantly teleporting to Xin Xia's side.

"Brother Jiang Yuan, it really is you guys."

Xinxia raised her head, her eyes filled with emotions that defied description, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Upon seeing the people she knew best, Ye Xinxia could no longer hide her emotions.

"How dare those bastards arrest you! I'm going to tear down this dilapidated temple!!!" Mo Fan said angrily.

Jiang Yuan untied the chains binding Xin Xia and washed away the dust from her body with water vapor. She looked somewhat better, but still looked haggard.

"Don't worry, Mo Fan and I will get you out of here," Jiang Yuan said.

Xinxia bit her lip lightly, and after a long while said, "They say I am Salang, and that there is another person living inside me."

"Sarang? Isn't that a cardinal from the Black Vatican? How could it be you! They're just talking nonsense!" Mo Fan cursed.

How could such an adorable Xinxia possibly be a ruthless and extremely evil cardinal of the Black Vatican?
“But that’s what they say. My blood can also be mixed with the bishop’s bloodstone of Salang, and I did kill Panija. My body is already stained with her blood.” Xinxia lowered her head, her expression sorrowful.

“It must be someone manipulating you. There are so many mental experts in the Parthenon, who knows who is pulling the strings behind the scenes? Didn’t they make you a candidate for goddess? This must be related!” Mo Fan said confidently.

What he said makes a lot of sense.

Xinxia looked up again and said, "I still remember some scenes, and those scenes were not good."

“I’ve already told you that you’re not, someone is framing you!” Mo Fan said.

“You’re not. I know who Salang is,” Jiang Yuan suddenly said.

"Really?" The two looked over.

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Sarang is indeed at the Parthenon, but she is not Xin Xia."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and drag her out and clear Xinxia's name!" Mo Fan didn't care how Jiang Yuan knew; he only wanted to clear Xinxia's name.

“It’s no use. Someone has been plotting against Xin Xia. She must enter the Dark Judgment, or those people will not let it go.” Jiang Yuan said coldly.

“Brother Jiang Yuan, you seem to know a lot of things,” Xin Xia said.

Suddenly, she could no longer see any emotional fluctuations in Jiang Yuan's eyes; there was no feeling, only indifference.

So strange.

Jiang Yuan activated his overclocking mode; his control over the armor had reached its most crucial point. "I do know a lot of things. I even know who your mother is. You should have some guesses, right, Xin Xia?" Jiang Yuan said frankly.

Now, there's no need to hide many things anymore.

Having possessed the armor for so long, I have yet to truly experience the feeling of an emperor acting with unbridled power.

It's truly a pity.

Starting today, I can finally relax a little.

Xinxia fell silent, but the light in her eyes kept flashing.

"What are you guys talking about?!" Mo Fan stood there dumbfounded.

I hate riddle tellers more than anything in my life!
"Alright, let's take Xinxia out." Jiang Yuan turned around.

The Parthenon

Mo Fan was halfway through his sentence when Jiang Yuan interrupted him, saying, "Weren't we here to take Xin Xia away? What are you dawdling about?"

"Okay, let's go!" Mo Fan paused for a moment, his expression turning extremely serious.

"Xinxia, ​​do you want me to carry you or do you want Mo Fan to carry you?" Jiang Yuan asked, turning around.

"I want to walk by myself!" Xinxia stood up firmly and followed the two of them step by step toward the door!

The heavy bronze door slowly opened, and rays of sunlight fell on the three people.

What should have been a bright and joyful scene turned out to be so heavy.

On the high steps, rows of golden knights stood imposingly, their surging magical pressure sweeping towards the three of them!

Looking further into the distance, one could see all the judges of the Parthenon's Judgment Hall, their hands gleaming with magical light, as if they were about to turn the three of them to ashes at any moment!

Further away, Panija's funeral was being held, with almost all the high-ranking members of the Parthenon in attendance, along with many influential guests.

All eyes were now focused on the three of them!

"You two are going to violate the procedures of the Holy Tribunal and take Ye Xinxia away from us?" The Great Sage looked at the two of them, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Want to take on the Parthenon?
No one can do it!
"Ignorance is bliss! Do you think that just because you've crossed the Star River Mountain Path you can become an enemy of our Parthenon Temple?" said the Golden Knight Yafa, Panija's guardian knight and the one who hated Ye Xinxia the most!
"You can try to stop us and see if you can," Jiang Yuan said calmly.

"How arrogant! You think you're so great? In the face of a true master, you're nothing!!!"

Yafa roared angrily, and a magnificent constellation formed around him, the seven constellations combining to form a majestic and splendid star palace.

The star palace shone brightly, and endless power gathered before it.

"Thousand Leaf Blade Wind Slash!"

In an instant, the golden storm transformed into a thousand wind blades that danced in the sky, eventually merging into an incomparably sharp golden scythe that slashed down, determined to annihilate the arrogant Jiang Yuan!
However, faced with this terrifying super-level magic, Jiang Yuan took one step forward after another, and the ancient armor phantom gradually appeared behind him.

helmet.

Breastplate.

Shoulders.

Neck armor.

cloak.

With each step taken, a part of it emerges.

Mo Fan's pupils suddenly dilated, and his mouth involuntarily opened wide as the figure in the armor slowly overlapped with the scene in his memory.

The Emperor's overwhelming power descends upon the world!

"The Ancient King!!!"

Behind Jiang Yuan, the phantom of the ancient king raised his right hand.
