Chapter 351: The one who came is our own, the great sage’s plea

Not long after the great sage's plea, three golden knights and a great sage followed the guidance of the Holy Judge Mage and arrived at the roundabout.

Near the sea around the island, everyone found Zhang Chenran.

"You wait here, I will go and meet him myself."

The great sage from the Parthenon signaled the Golden Knight and the Holy Inquisition Mage to stop.

"Great Sage, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" one of the Golden Knights said hastily.

"The wizard who killed Cardinal Leng Jue cares about our attitude. You look like you want to interrogate a criminal, so others will certainly not cooperate." The great sage said in a deep voice.

She was not only talking about the three arrogant Golden Knights who were eager to find clues to the soul, but also the previous offense against Zhang Chenran by the two Holy Judge Mages.

The Golden Knights were obviously led by the great sage. The two Holy Judge Mages looked unhappy, but did not say much.

The great sage went to where Zhang Chenran was alone, his steps very light.

Sensing her breath, Zhang Chenran turned around and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

The person who came was none other than the great sage Merola under Izhisha's command. He could have guessed it even without asking about the situation on Izhisha's side.

"King!" Melora said respectfully, standing beside him.

"You call me so blatantly, aren't you afraid that they will hear it?" Zhang Chenran asked her with a smile.

"I have isolated the noise here. As long as you don't do anything out of line, they won't come here on their own initiative." Merola said.

Zhang Chenran curled his lips at the outrageous behavior, but didn't care:

"Her Highness the Goddess has been a little disobedient recently. I have a terrible headache now because of the pressure she puts on me. I have to fight with the spirit every day."

"Your Highness also hopes that you can speed up the progress of controlling the soul. Only the goddess recognized by the soul is the real goddess. By then, Your Highness will completely control the Parthenon, and you will also control the Parthenon." The great sage Merola smiled.

"I like to hear that." Zhang Chenran nodded slightly: "It will take me another month or two to completely control the soul. As for whether to hand it over to her, it depends on her performance."

Merola hesitated for a while and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, after learning that you killed Cardinal Leng Jue, Her Highness the Goddess made another statement, saying that she would not ascend to the throne of the Goddess until she completely recovered her soul. She no longer wanted to be the Goddess of the Parthenon without a soul, or even without a soul."

"This woman."

The corners of Zhang Chenran's mouth twitched wildly, and his fists hardened!

"I will return the soul to her after I completely control it." He said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, King. I will tell His Highness that you will then become the benefactor of the entire Parthenon, and the whole world will know that you have the support of the Parthenon." Merola smiled.

"Do you know how to tell them about Leng Jue's affairs?" Zhang Chenran glanced at the Holy Judge Mage and the Golden Knight.

"Don't worry, I'm ready, but I'll have to ask you to act out a scene," said Merola.

Zhang Chenran nodded and agreed. The basic process still needed to be followed

...

The Holy Judge Mage and the Golden Knight, who had been waiting behind, couldn't help but feel happy when they saw Zhang Chenran and Mei Ruola coming together.

Sure enough, the great sage is a great sage. With just a few words, he persuaded this unruly Buddha

to return to the Demon Capital Tower. The Southern Magic Association specially arranged a luxurious reception room for the mages from the Parthenon and the Holy Court.

Zhang Chenran told the truth about Leng Jue, but mixed it with some lies.

The people in the Holy Court did not investigate further. After all, Leng Jue was dead now, so what he said was what mattered.

After the people from the Holy Court finished asking questions, the great sage Merola said:

"Thank you, Councillor Zhang, for removing a scourge from this world, but we have something else to ask besides Lord Leng."

Zhang Chenran didn't say anything and motioned for her to continue.

"After investigation by the Holy Court and our Parthenon, Councillor Zhang seems to have connections with the ancient capital's undead empire Shayuan." Merola said.

"Yes, I do have connections with the Shayuan Undead Empire." Zhang Chenran smiled.

The Holy Judge Mage and the Golden Knight were stunned at first, and then immediately entered a state of combat readiness, looking as if they were ready to take action at any time.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Chenran's face darkened and he glared at the powerful super-class mages.

Seeing this, Merola glared at the Holy Judge Mage and the Golden Knight fiercely, her eyes full of anger:

"Have you forgotten what I told you?"

When the Holy Judge Mage and the Golden Knight saw her like this, they quickly retracted the magical aura around her.

"Sorry, they've always been like this." After Mei Ruola finished speaking to Zhang Chenran, she looked at them again: "Why don't you apologize!"

Under the pressure of her super-level cultivation, the Holy Judge Mage and the Golden Knight quickly bowed and apologized.

Zhang Chenran waved his hand, and Mei Ruola finally lifted the pressure that was upon them.

"Please continue." Mei Ruola said flatteringly.

"This matter has to start from the catastrophe in the ancient capital." Zhang Chenran said slowly:

"Before the evil abyss descended upon the ancient capital, my companions and I jumped into the evil abyss to seek life for the ancient capital. However, I do not have the blood of the ancient king and cannot enter the evil abyss. I will not tell you about this.

I did not enter the Evil Abyss. After being rescued by my teacher, my consciousness entered a very strange space.

I saw many high-level undead in that space. Later I found out that my undead system was connected to a certain high-level undead.

That high-ranking undead was very interested in me, and I gradually became familiar with her. Through her existence, I reached a deal with the undead emperor. "

Everyone listened to his narration quietly, and no one spoke.

Only after Zhang Chenran stopped did the Holy Judge Mage ask hurriedly,

"What deal? Explain it clearly!"

"Don't you already know? I provided information to the Undead Emperor, told him the location of the Pyramid Undead Empire, and even participated in opening the gate to the underworld on the Void Island." Zhang Chenran said.

"Can you communicate with the Undead Emperor?" The Holy Inquisitor frowned.

"Yes, otherwise why do you think the Undead Emperor didn't bring disaster to the world and went to war with the Pyramid Undead Empire?" Zhang Chenran asked him back, and then said:

"But don't expect me to continue cooperating with the Undead Emperor. I have been to the gates of hell many times in order to prevent him from harming humans again."

The Holy Inquisitor had a frown on his face, his eyes wandering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Standing up to prevent the late emperor from invading our territory is truly a noble cause!" Melora couldn't help but sigh, and then she said in a pleading tone:

"Member Zhang, we at Parthenon have a favor to ask of you. Although we know that this is too much for you, we still hope that you can agree to it."
