……
After rescuing Zhao Manyan, Lü Cheng didn't say anything more. After all, it was a family matter, and as an outsider, he had nothing to say.
However, due to news from the Zhao family that the old man of the Zhao family was seriously ill and did not have much time left, Zhao Manyan could not care about the upcoming Divine Seal Praise and directly took Zhao Youqian, who had been beaten half to death, back to the country. Anyway, the Divine Seal Praise could be made up later.
Upon arriving at Parthenon, following the massive staircase leading to the sacred mountain, the National Team, led by Pang Lai, headed first to the Temple of Faith.
"Why not wait until the goddess is chosen before holding the divine seal ceremony? Isn't it said that the goddess's blessing is more effective?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.
"It seems there have been some problems with the Goddess election, and there won't be a result for a while, so the Temple Mother will be performing the Divine Seal Praise on her behalf this time," Pang Lai said.
“I’m not entirely clear on the specifics, but Lü Cheng should know.”
"Speaking of which...where did he go?" Jiang Yu asked, puzzled.
“If nothing unexpected happens…” Pang Lai pointed to a cliff with a hollowed-out center on the sacred mountain.
"He went there."
"..."
The crowd looked puzzled, but no one said anything.
After all, Lü Cheng and Saintess Asha's Rey of Parthenon seemed to have a special relationship, which they noticed during the competition.
"Teacher, isn't Mount Parthenon protected by special restrictions?" Jiang Yu asked.
"I remember you once told me that anyone who hasn't undergone the special baptism of Parthenon will trigger the restrictions if they enter the sacred mountain. How did he get up there?"
"I don't know," Pang Lai shook her head.
"Perhaps he's more familiar with the people here."
Until the matter involving Lü Cheng escalated and the Holy Tribunal released the information, he was unaware that Su Meng had a son, and naturally, he was also unaware of their past.
However, Su Meng said that Lü Cheng had a better relationship with Ye Chang because Ye Chang basically took care of Lü Cheng when he was a child. Before the Wen Tai incident broke out, Lü Cheng spent most of his time in Parthenon.
Perhaps, at that time, Lü Cheng had already received the special baptism of the Parthenon Temple and would not be subject to the restrictions and rejection of the sacred mountain.
As they continued up the mountain path, Pang Lai continued to introduce the things along the way, including the Star River Mountain Path.
"Even you haven't made it?" Mo Fan was somewhat surprised.
Lu Cheng had told them before that Pang Lai's strength was among the top tier of forbidden spells, and that if the old man were to go all out, he would be stronger than some weaker forbidden spell users.
How could someone with such strength not be able to make it through?
“The restrictions on this Star River Mountain Path were set up by a forbidden spell mage thousands of years ago. Under such restrictions, everything will be suppressed,” Pang Lai said.
"Although I am a master of the highest level, the gap between me and a forbidden spell is still too great."
The gap between forbidden spells and fully mastered super-grade spells is almost an insurmountable chasm. Even the weakest forbidden spell is still a forbidden spell, which cannot be compared to super-grade spells.
Continuing uphill, the group arrived at Knights' Hall Square, where they saw Hailong giving a speech.
Although Ander did not die, Kenti chose to retire during the Academy Tournament due to his advanced age and some special reasons. Hailong, who currently has the highest cultivation and reputation in the Knights Hall, succeeded him as the Hall Master.
"This is Lord Hailong, the new Lord of the Knights' Hall," Feng Li introduced to everyone.
"Palace Master?" Everyone's expressions were somewhat strange.
"Isn't this the Greek guy who got kicked away by Lü Cheng in the previous match?" Jiang Yu whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hailong stopped and turned his unfriendly gaze toward them.
"Damn, you can hear that..." Jiang Yu hid behind Pang Lai, feeling a little guilty.
"You still have the nerve to come here?" Hailong looked at Pang Lai with disdain, without glancing at Jiang Yu again.
"How could I not have the face to come? It's you who got kicked away by a young man in front of so many people, and you still have the nerve to succeed as the Lord of the Knights Hall?" Pang Lai retorted without any politeness.
Hailong paused for a moment, then turned and left.
In that situation, he didn't expect Lü Cheng to make a move directly, but he also couldn't possibly fight that kid.
He could only accept being beaten.
……
"Following Izusa's plan?"
Ye Chang has been staying at Saintess Ander's residence for some time now. Lü Cheng has also come over. When there are things to discuss, Asha Ruya and Ye Xinxia also come here to talk.
"The Court of Judgment is too chaotic," Lu Cheng said quietly.
"This is a good opportunity to clean up."
During his time in Parthenon, he discovered many problems. The Holy Tribunal was no longer the Holy Tribunal of the Holy City, and even the Heterodox Tribunal had run into trouble.
In name, the Holy Judgment Council is the Holy City's external agency, but in reality, the Holy Judgment Council no longer has much to do with the Holy City.
He didn't know what Remiel was thinking, but the guy was definitely letting things get worse.
Or rather, the archangels of all ages have allowed all of this to happen; they have watched helplessly as the Holy Court of Judgment has been corrupted, and as the Holy City has been corrupted.
Corruption? There's not that much corruption, it's all internal strife!
“There are too many voices. This world doesn’t need so many voices.” Lü Cheng stood up, walked to the flying platform, and looked at the endless stream of worshippers below the sacred mountain.
"Some mistakes should be corrected."
"Do you intend to become a dictator?" Ye Chang asked.
“If they had any brains, I wouldn’t be interested in getting involved in these things, but unfortunately, they not only lack brains, they’re also getting in my way,” Lü Cheng said.
“Perhaps you should calm down first,” Asha'ruya said.
"You acted impulsively."
Lu Cheng paused for a moment, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
"..."
"What do you mean?" Ye Chang looked at Asha Ruya.
Lü Cheng has been acting strangely lately. He's not the type to meddle in other people's business, and he doesn't seem to have much of a desire to control people and things that don't concern him.
Whether it's clean or dirty, it's their own business. He's just a passerby, and as long as it doesn't involve him, he won't bother with it.
But recently, she felt that Lü Cheng's mind was a bit... extreme.
“Do you remember that dark mage from the ancient capital?” Asha Ruya asked.
"I remember, what's wrong?" Ye Chang asked, puzzled.
What does Lü Cheng's change have to do with that guy?
“You can think of Acheng’s change as… he’s taken the wrong medicine,” Asha Ruya said.
"According to that wizard named Daolong, the growth-accelerating device that Acheng used before had significant side effects, not on the body, but on the mind."
"In the simplest terms that humans can understand, his brain has entered puberty."
Impulsiveness, irritability, and mood swings occur in humans due to hormonal imbalances.
Lu Cheng is in a similar situation now. He pushed himself into maturity, which led to two extremes in his thinking: the idleness of a child and the rigidity of a traditional old man.
The power of darkness is unruly, while the power of light is rigid. When these two forces collide, they cause problems in Lü Cheng's mind.
"I can sense that he's very angry, he's been angry for a while now." The Black Dragon Emperor, transformed into a black parrot, flew over.
“Ever since I made a pact with him, I have been able to sense the anger emanating from him.”
"If his anger is allowed to fester, his fury will destroy everything in front of us."
Chapter 236. The Temple Mother Pami Shi
236.
……
On Dongting Lake.
Feeling increasingly confused, Lü Cheng skipped the Divine Seal Praise Ceremony and went straight to Dao Long.
However, as soon as he entered the castle, Lü Cheng saw the little demon dragon imprisoned in a separate space by Zhou Lan's gravity.
"What's going on?" Lu Cheng asked with a strange look in his eyes.
This place was just fought, and the demon dragon is injured.
"He's gone crazy during puberty." Dao Long walked over, looking somewhat weary.
"Don't tell me you're going crazy too."
“Uh…” Lu Cheng’s eye twitched slightly.
"Kind of."
"..."
"grass!!!"
Dao Long, who usually had some manners, couldn't help but curse.
