Versatile Mage: Holy Spirit Puni, divine glory comes to the world!

Chapter 171 Awakening of the Divine Soul! The Twelve Holy Knights Return to Their Positions!
-

"I...I don't understand what you're saying!"

Hearing this, Durank was already feeling guilty, but as long as he insisted on his innocent situation and his years of dedication to the Holy City, working day and night, he could avoid death.

Although Durank has done a lot of unscrupulous things for himself over the years, including secretly contacting Yizhisha, he can be said to be profiting from both sides!

He absolutely cannot admit it now!
After all, being wronged and being betrayed are two different things. Lü Ran's previous identity had not been exposed, and Dulan's temporary apology, unless he was a tyrant, would at most result in some blame.

However, once discovered—that they are colluding with foreign enemies—this is a major taboo. The people of the Holy City only show their loyalty to the Holy City, and in return, they receive resources to support them all the way to the top.

We've nurtured you from the ground up, how could we tolerate your betrayal? Betrayal is just the beginning; your ambition will only grow stronger, and then it won't be a simple betrayal anymore.

"Ye Xinxia, ​​is she really Salang?" Lu Ran asked in a soul-searching manner.

"With the Bishop's Bloodstone, it can't be wrong!" Even now, Durank still harbors a sliver of hope.

"Then what will you do if I say no?" Lü Ran asked with a smile.

"I believe the Divine Child will not be deceived, even if Ye Xinxia is someone important to you!" Dulanke said firmly. In any case, the divine soul must be stripped away.

"Of course I will not be deceived in the slightest, but I will also be able to distinguish right from wrong."

Lu Ran's final question was, "Are you absolutely certain she's Salang, or did you come here solely for the soul within Ye Xinxia?! Trying to deny it?"

He didn't continue speaking.
At this moment, Durant's face turned pale.

The group of temple officials standing behind them were also completely confused!
"No need to ask anymore." At this moment, Ye Xinxia stepped forward. "The Yin Clan will arrive soon. Now is the best time! Brother Lü Ran!"

"Just watch quietly!"

Immediately afterwards, Ye Xinxia clasped her hands together, closed her eyes slightly, and with a heart full of piety, a dazzling light slowly emanated from her body!
Suddenly, a divine phantom appeared behind Ye Xinxia. At this moment, she seemed to be a ruler, wielding the supreme power of white magic!

The Parthenon's soul!!!

At this moment, Hailong, Norman, and all the knights were shocked by this scene, and their eyes were filled with horror!

A genuine divine soul!
It seems that Ye Xinxia is not the Salang they speak of, but rather the true ruler of the Parthenon. Only the one who possesses the divine soul is worthy of being called a goddess!
Driven by her divine soul, Ye Xinxia floated in mid-air with a majestic aura. Then she spoke, as if a power that had been hidden for many years was finally about to reappear in the world!

"Norman, I bestow upon you the soul of Poseidon, granting you invincible power and dispelling the gloom from the temple!"

Around Ye Xinxia, ​​twelve sacred souls appeared. Only by completely controlling the divine soul can one obtain the authority to grant the sacred souls.

"I obey!" Norman was extremely excited. He drew upon his Holy Soul, and his power surged to the point of overflowing. He had already acquired the power of forbidden spells!

"Knight Apollo, I bestow upon you the Holy Soul of Apollo, to help you dispel all gloom and guide us back to the right path!" Immediately afterwards, a second Holy Soul landed on a titled knight who was currently fighting against a Dark Sword Master, the two evenly matched.

However, the situation reversed the moment the Holy Soul descended. Almost instantly, the Dark Sword Master was annihilated, once imbued with the Holy Soul...
The knights will all gain access to the forbidden spell source that makes them invincible and unstoppable. Each one is elite and they are also the core strength of the goddess's twelve holy knights and the Parthenon!
Immediately afterward, Ye Xinxia continued to exert her power, chanting ancient incantations to search for each titled knight. In an instant, the temple, which had previously shown signs of decline, was restored to its former glory.
It unleashed an unprecedented power, once overturning the undead wave that lacked the blessing of an emperor. It consisted of twelve forbidden spells, and its influence was considerable.

Protected at the rear, a group of Greeks from the temple, including those who had come up the mountain to pray, knelt down, their eyes filled with respect.

"Welcome back, Goddess!"

"Welcome back, Goddess!"

"Welcome back, Goddess!"

In an instant, all voices were welcoming the return of this goddess. This was not just a simple return ceremony, but the key to saving the temple from fire and water!
"Dullan, do you have anything else to say?" Seeing Ye Xinxia's true transformation, Lü Ran felt pleased, but he hadn't forgotten who had tried to kill her.

At this moment, Durant's sweat had almost soaked through his judge's robes, and he was in a state of utter turmoil, as if he would collapse at any moment.

"I...I..."

Durank was speechless. He tried to beg for forgiveness, but now, faced with an unparalleled pressure, his mind went blank!
An angelic holy sword appeared in Lü Ran's hand, and he spoke coldly, "Your position has been taken over. One of my purposes in coming here is to personally manage the sect."

"Even Yi Zhi Sha behind you will surely die." After saying the last few words, Lü Ran showed no mercy, swung his sword and beheaded someone.

The crimson blood did not remain on the angel's holy sword; such filthy blood was unworthy to be stained!
And at this time~
Parthenon's secret supporters, namely the eight great families of the Hidden Clan, all appeared here, and in an instant, a total of eight forbidden spells intervened in the battlefield!
(The original work mentions eight hidden clans. Each of them has at least one forbidden spell. Some of these clans are even connected to the Temple Mother.)
This was the first time Lü Ran had witnessed the true strength of Parthenon's reserves. People only knew that the position of goddess was vacant and the temple's international standing was declining.

However, if any faction were to harbor malicious intentions and attempt to seize the Parthenon at this time, it would undoubtedly be the most foolish decision they have ever made.

“Divine Child, those are the Eight Hidden Clans.”

When Kino appeared, he took the opportunity to explain, "The true strength of Parthenon! Their unwavering position as the world's second-largest power is due to their support."

“From today onwards, they can also belong to the Holy City.” Lü Ran smiled.

Immediately afterwards~
Another hour has passed!
Sha Yuan withdrew his strength.

Once the goal was achieved, they immediately disappeared!
With over a dozen forbidden spells present, this scene was truly a sacred occasion for Parthenon. At this moment, they were all filled with reverence, not only for this well-deserved goddess.
And then there's the Holy City's Divine Child who came from afar and exposed all the conspiracies. Just thinking about the two of them joining hands makes even these veteran forbidden spellcasters break out in a cold sweat!

Who dares to stop them?!

"Next, who else needs to be dealt with?"

When Lü Ran looked up, he saw Yi Zhisha on a hilltop not far away, her face strange, her teeth clenched, and their eyes met, both seemingly harboring great hostility.
