Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 267: The Undead King
"Is this your nth challenge? Honestly, I feel bored. You are too weak, so weak that I am embarrassed. How did you become a candidate for the king?" The Undead King said. You know, he is the weakest. The king of the ninth floor is truly powerful. He even has the strength to challenge the Ancient King. Of course, he borrows the power of the Evil Abyss. However, the real controller of the Evil Abyss is the Ancient King. As long as he does not allow it, they will be useless.

"Go on." Lin Ran clenched his fists and the hot flames burned again.

"Okay, let's continue." The Undead King said, beating people is better than hibernation.

The ancient king sat on the throne and watched everything in front of him silently. Lin Ran was still too weak, but now was the best time. As long as he integrated the power of Sha Yuan, Lin Ran would never be able to get rid of Sha Yuan.

Not long after, Ande also appeared in the Abyss. It was her first time here, and she felt like falling into the abyss of death. However, she did not feel too scared. After all, she was also a ghost now, and beside her was Miyata. Miyata had obviously never been here before, so she seemed a little curious and scared. Fortunately, all the ghosts regarded them as companions.

The two came to Jiuyou's room.

“Oh my!!!” The Undead King cut off Lin Ran’s hand and said, “No, even if you have a strong recovery ability, I have a huge amount of energy with the support of the Evil Abyss. You can’t kill me at all.”

Lin Ran grabbed the broken arm and pressed it on his arm, and the broken arm healed quickly.

Lin Ran knew very well that he could not win, so he had to change his strategy. He said, "Do you want to taste fresh flesh and soul?"

The Undead King was stunned for a moment and then said, "Are you going to sacrifice yourself?"

Lin Ran smiled faintly and then said, "It's not about sacrifice, but about how much you can get."

"I see. It's a battle of souls. I will devour your soul and live on as you... Not a bad suggestion. After all, I want to leave too."

……

"Let's talk about why Xinxia is Saran. Tangyue, tell us." Leng Qing said.

Tang Yue nodded immediately. Although it was a little difficult to speak, she had to state the facts.

"Mo Fan, weren't you wondering why I went to Bo City to be a teacher?" Tang Yue said.

Mo Fan nodded slightly. He was actually quite confused by this matter. Although he was able to confirm later that Tang Yue was tracking down the Black Church as a trainee judge, he still felt it was very strange.

"Do you think that Xinxia's age doesn't match Saran's? The disaster in Bo City was a ten-year plan, and Xinxia was only seven or eight years old at the time. It was impossible for her to plan such a conspiracy." Tang Yue said.

"Yeah." Mo Fan nodded.

"We have found some information about Saran. Saran is just a code name. It can be divided into the first generation Saran, the second generation Saran and the third generation Saran. After inheriting the title, each Saran will quickly select a successor..." Tang Yue said.

"I know this..."

“If we assume that Xinxia is Saran, then Xinxia was the successor at the time, not Saran. The Black Church members who had been hiding in Bo City for nearly ten years were arranged by the previous generation of Saran.” Tang Yue said.

“Then why are you targeting Xinxia?” Mo Fan asked.

"You also know that the higher the level of the Black Church's personnel, the harder it is to identify them. Even the Black Church's gray-robed believers, black-robed priests, and blue-robed deacons have never seen the Cardinal's true face, nor do they know her true identity. So in order to ensure the Cardinal's ironclad identity, the Black Church will refine a special Cardinal Blood Stone when the Cardinal becomes a Cardinal or his successor."

"This Bishop's Bloodstone is the only thing that can prove an identity. After the bloodstone solidifies, it will be divided into two pieces. One piece is in the hands of the Black Church Pope, and the other is in Saran's own hands. When the cardinal wants to report his identity to the church staff under them, he will drop blood from his finger onto the bishop's bloodstone. If the bloodstone accepts his blood, then it can completely prove that this person is the cardinal, that is, Saran."

Mo Fan listened very carefully. He had heard a little bit about the identity bloodstone before, but he had no idea how to operate it in detail.

"We are just like you. We don't believe that Xinxia is Saran. But the unbelievable thing is that Xinxia's blood can indeed be dissolved in the Bishop's Bloodstone." Tang Zhong said.

"Is this Bishop's Bloodstone reliable?" Mo Fan asked.

Suddenly, Lingling, who had been silent all this time, spoke up:
"This is real. There are two blood stones that can identify Saran's identity. One is in Saran's own hands, and the other was taken away from the Pope of the Black Church by the Holy Court in the early years. My grandfather had not retired at that time. My grandfather had identified it. The material of this blood stone is the same as that of the sin stone. It cannot be copied. Once blood is dripped, it cannot be replaced. The Saran blood stone they used for comparison is real."

Mo Fan was silent.

Mo Fan understood from Lingling that Old Man Bao was once a high-ranking official of the Holy Court. It was obvious that Old Man Bao would not frame Xinxia. So this Saran Bloodstone was indeed the only thing that could identify Saran's identity. But why did Xinxia's blood completely blend into it?
"This is irrefutable evidence. There is no way to refute it," said Tang Zhong.

"Then let's put aside the hard evidence for now. Xinxia has lived with Lin Ran and me since she was a child. How did she manage to transform into Saran and take charge of countless followers? And yet she can still stay with us? Also, don't you know Xinxia's character? She is the least likely person in the world to be Saran." Mo Fan said.

"There is something you may not know..." Leng Qing said.

"What's the matter?" Mo Fan asked.

"After you know this news, you will probably be like us and have to admit that Xinxia is Saran." Leng Qing's voice became very low.

“You tell me, but I won’t believe it anyway.” Mo Fan said directly.

“Mo Fan, you should still remember that the Totem Black Snake sensed a hint of danger and appeared in the downtown area of ​​Hangzhou. At that time, it was afraid of Xinxia.” Tang Yue said.

"We roughly guessed at the time that there might be something hidden in Xinxia's body that the Totem Black Snake feared. That might be Xinxia's - another soul."

"Xinxia's other soul?" Mo Fan became more and more confused.

"Xinxia is indeed innocent, and the Xinxia you know is not Saran. But there is still a soul in her body, and it is this soul that makes her body weak and her legs difficult to walk. One person carries two souls, and the body is so overwhelmed."

"And this other soul of hers is Saran!"

When Mo Fan heard these words, he felt as if there were thunders rumbling in his head, as if it was about to explode completely! !

"How is this possible? This is sheer nonsense!" Mo Fan was furious.

"Mo Fan, don't get excited yet. Let me tell you something else that is not very relevant."

“There will be no traitors from the Black Church in our Inquisition, because the members of the Inquisition must swear to the Tree of Soul. If anyone does something that goes against the Tree of Soul, the next time they go to the Tree of Soul, they will be rejected… But in fact, there are people from the Black Church in our Inquisition. We couldn’t understand the reason at first, until Han Ji came to me and told me about the ancient capital, he mentioned that there was something called the Forget Worm that was controlled by the Black Church. Then I suddenly realized it.” Tang Zhong said.

... "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Why can't your soul be devoured." The soul of the Undead King roared. He couldn't devour Lin Ran, but Lin Ran could devour him. As the two grew stronger, he would die soon. Sha Yuan couldn't restore his soul.

"Hahahaha." Lin Ran laughed. It turned out that one must start from the soul.

Soon the Undead Monarch admitted defeat and said hastily, "I am willing to acknowledge your status as king."

The Undead King finished speaking, and a spiritual mark was imprinted into his soul.

Lin Ran drove the Undead King out of his spiritual world.

Soon, flames ignited on the body of the Undead King. As the flames burned, flesh and blood appeared on the bones of the Undead King. After a while, a young man with long black hair appeared. He muttered to himself, "Is that so..."

Lin Ran said, "We are going to the next place."

"Ah."

……

"Nine, you are such a disgrace." A female skeleton undead dressed in gorgeous clothes sat on the throne and looked at the undead king who had regained his flesh and blood. Since the failure, they lost everything including their names. Now they are all named with numbers.

She is eight.

"Eight, you should understand that he is special. Only with him can we achieve true immortality." Nine said.

"How boring! You actually threw away your dignity for such a false thing. Nine, you are indeed our shame. But it doesn't matter. Today is your memorial day." Eight stood up, and in an instant her powerful aura was fully displayed, and she became even more powerful.

Jiu looked at Lin Ran and said, "We can't beat her, so we have to pull her into your spiritual world and wear her down little by little..."

Lin Ran nodded.

……

Mo Fan still remembered the incident with the Forget Bug. Zhang Xiaohou had suffered greatly from it when he was in the ancient capital.

“The Black Church now has control over the Forgetful Bugs, so they will use it on some very important people. Therefore, some members of the Black Church who have infiltrated our Inquisition usually don’t know that they are traitors. After all, all their identities and memories related to the Black Church are controlled by the Forgetful Bugs. Only within a certain time, or by using some special sounds, can the Forgetful Bugs be stimulated, allowing that person to wake up and realize that he is a member of the Black Church.” Tang Zhong said.

Mo Fan listened silently.

Seeing that Mo Fan didn't say anything, Tang Zhong continued, "Xinxia does have the Forget Worm in her body, so the people at the Parthenon concluded that she had no idea of ​​her own identity. Only at a certain time would her memories of the Black Church be revived, which was equivalent to another soul waking up in her body... and when everything was arranged properly, the Forget Worm would immediately bury this memory, making Xinxia look no different from an ordinary person. This is the main reason why we have never been able to defeat the Black Church. We have tried very hard to investigate the true identities of the Black Church's high-level officials, but these high-level officials of the Black Church don't even know that they are members of the Black Church, so where do we start?"

Saranzhi is just a code name.

Bloodstone's irrefutable proof.

The reason why her legs are difficult to heal is because there is another soul hidden in her body.

Xinxia's pure heart is not fake, because she herself does not know that she is Saran because of the existence of the forget bug.

When Tang Zhong, Leng Qing, and Tang Yue first learned about this news, they were also incredulous. Their first reaction was to think that this was trouble caused by the dispute over the election of the Saint, and they also thought that this was an extremely absurd slander. However, when the facts were revealed, they had no choice but to believe it...

Xinxia is weak, kind, and has an extremely pure mind. However, the memories buried in the forget bugs will revive her soul and personality at a certain time...

They have now told Mo Fan all the information they know. They understand that this is really hard to accept, but it is the fact.

Xinxia is Saran, but she is not Saran either. However, Xinxia and Saran's souls are in the same body, so the Holy Inquisition and the Parthenon will eventually pin the blame on Xinxia.

The room was silent for a long time, and Mo Fan's heavy breathing could be faintly heard. All of this was simply a fantasy to Mo Fan, but the evidence was right in front of him, forcing him to accept it.

"What are your plans?" Lingling asked. It would be great if Lin Ran was here, but now Lin Ran was completely missing. To be honest, Lingling was also worried about Lin Ran because he was kidnapped.

"I'm going to see Xinxia." Mo Fan replied.

"You probably won't be able to see her because she is locked up in the Parthenon Temple. No one is allowed to contact her. Once the guilty stone is passed, the Holy Court will display all the hard evidence. If the black stone is higher than the white stone, then she will be officially identified as Saran." Tang Zhong said.

“I don’t care about their so-called ironclad evidence and so-called guilt stones. I want to go see her,” said Mo Fan.

"The Parthenon armed forces are extremely powerful and cannot be countered by one person alone." Tang Zhong sighed.

"When is the Holy Inquisition?"

……

"So weak." Eight stepped on Nine and then exerted force suddenly.

Blood and flesh splattered in an instant.

Eight kicks Nine's body away.

Nine stood up as if nothing had happened. He said, "Eight, the only way to kill Lin Ran is to devour his soul."

"Nine, what are you planning?" Eight couldn't help but say.

"Well, I want you to kill him, so that I can be free." Jiu said.

"I see. Then I will tear his soul apart. After all, even if I tear his body apart, he can still be resurrected. It seems that I can only start with his soul."
