I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 200. Could he be the Black Moon Saint?

Under the faint light of dawn, all eyes were on them.

"Xia Feng, as a citizen of the Empire, you have colluded with the Burning Heaven Heretic Cult, betrayed the Empire, harmed the people, and committed countless heinous crimes."

The presiding judge, clad in a black and gold divine robe, stood tall and imposing. He looked down at the man on the judgment platform, his indifferent, cold voice echoing throughout the judgment square:

"This court, presiding judge Zolaf, is now conducting a just trial on behalf of the Black Moon Tribunal in accordance with the Imperial Religious Law, and is convicting and sentencing you on multiple charges, including believing in evil gods and treason. Do you plead guilty?"

“I acknowledge you as my mother,” Xia Feng said with a smile.

"."

"How dare they insult the presiding judge in court? They must be desperate."

"Your Honor, kill this damned cultist immediately!"

"Yes, kill him!"

"kill him!!"

A colossal statue of the Black Moon Goddess stood in the center of the square, surrounded by nearly ten thousand indignant people who raised their fists in anger and righteous indignation.

For a moment, the entire vast square was filled only with the unified cries for execution.

Seeing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Zolaf's calm eyes. He ignored Xia Feng's rudeness and raised his scepter, with starlight shimmering in its center.

"Execution!"

With his indifferent, cold voice, the starlight on the scepter instantly shot towards the crescent moon pattern at the center of the Moon Spirit Pillar, humming—

As if activated, wisps of intricate light patterns rapidly spread throughout the entire divine pillar.

"!" The mushroom in the clouds changed its expression slightly and turned around anxiously, "Hey! Why haven't you guys made your move yet!"

The cloaked woman sighed helplessly, "Fine, fine."

As she spoke, she was about to send a telepathic message to the others in the shadows to make their move, but then she suddenly stopped, her gaze turning slightly surprised as she looked down.

At the same time, Wei Shutong and Bai Longxingzhe, who were about to make a move in the crowd, were also stunned and looked up at the Moon Spirit Pillar in confusion.

The mysterious patterns on the Moon Spirit Pillar were lit up one by one, quickly converging on Xia Feng, who was bound in the center awaiting judgment.

But to everyone's surprise, the expected scene of Xia Feng's soul being scorched by the flames of judgment, accompanied by his heart-wrenching screams of agony, did not occur.

The flame-like streams of light flowed silently around Xia Feng, like submissive subjects. As the streams of light accumulated, the space on the judgment platform even began to distort and vibrate.

"This is..." Everyone knew that the Moon Spirit Judgment was originally used to test the true form of the Holy Maiden, and only the Holy Maiden recognized by the Black Moon Authority could remain unharmed under the Moon Spirit Judgment, or even show a holy light reaction.

But this Eternal Day Saint... that can't be, right?
Just as unease began to rise in everyone's hearts, a sharp buzzing sound rang out, and the stream of light transformed into photons invisible to the naked eye, spinning rapidly. In an instant, a holy white pillar of light suddenly rose into the sky, connecting the earth to the heavens and standing tall in the universe, its brilliance dazzling the eyes.

At this moment, not only the Trial Square, but the entire population of King's Landing looked up in astonishment at the pillar of light that had suddenly appeared in the east.

Although they didn't know what it was, everyone felt a sacred aura that made them want to prostrate themselves in reverence.

"What the hell?"

The crowd in the square, who had been waving their fists in anger, were now stunned. This was all wrong. What happened to the trial of the cult's holy son? Was this the kind of reaction one would expect when the cult's holy son was being tried?
"Approval by the Holy Light?"

"This is the Holy Light's recognition of the Black Moon Authority!" Someone in the crowd finally reacted, somewhat incredulous.

"You must be kidding me, how could that be possible!"

"Isn't he the holy son of a cult? How could he possibly gain the approval of the Black Moon Goddess!" Anthony questioned loudly from the crowd, somewhat uneasy. He had come to see Xia Feng's misfortune; a tragic end was the only fate this genius of Weiyang Academy deserved.

High up, Zolav also looked up in astonishment at the towering pillar of light. His usually calm and composed expression faltered, and his eyes were filled with confusion and shock.

"Your Honor, what's going on?" The bald knight, standing in the shadows, looked up in astonishment.

You ask me? I should ask who? Zolaf feels that things are developing in a somewhat absurd way. How did a perfectly good Moon Spirit Trial turn into a saintess?
Moreover, Xia Feng is a man!

According to the normal procedure, Xia Feng should have been pierced through the soul by the holy light of judgment at this time, begging for mercy and weeping in agony, thus ending his sinful life.

Or perhaps it was the fugitive Wei Shutong, who was hiding in the shadows, who risked his life to rescue him, but ultimately it was a mindless act of courting death, and he was successfully captured.

But now.
The heretical cult that should have been judged by the Black Moon Authority is instead being recognized by it. How can they possibly be judged under such circumstances?
Does this mean that the Black Moon Church itself is a heretic?
When the crowd in the square saw that Judge Zolaf was also shocked, they immediately realized that Xia Feng had actually gained Black Moon's approval.

"So, is he still the holy son of a cult?" someone in the crowd muttered quietly.

They felt they had been tricked and manipulated, their faces turning pale and they were quite annoyed.

Black Moon, Element, and Justice are the three righteous gods recognized by the Empire. How could someone who is recognized by one of them be a holy son of a heretical cult?

Just moments ago they were cursing Xia Feng, this evil cult member, wishing him and his entire family dead, but now this is the situation they're in. This has left everyone feeling extremely embarrassed, ashamed, angry, and cursing.

"What the hell is going on?! What happened to the trial of heretics?"

"Are you messing with us?!"

"Your Honor, we demand an explanation!!"

"Since he has gained the recognition of the Black Moon Authority, shouldn't Xia Feng be the Black Moon Holy Son? How come he is the Eternal Day Holy Son of the heretical cult?"

Although it seemed absurd, the scene before them was indeed astonishing, and everyone couldn't help but feel surprised and doubtful. Could Xia Feng be the Black Moon Saint?
But doesn't the Goddess of the Black Moon only accept saints?
Amidst the clamor of condemnation, Wei Shutong and Bai Long exchanged a silent glance, their eyes filled with incomprehension and disbelief.

This development was truly unexpected for them.

They thought what followed would be a thrilling rescue scene with no chance of survival, but they never expected that Xia Feng would actually become the Black Moon Saint.

He directly resolved the life-or-death crisis himself, almost causing Wei Shutong, who was prepared for a desperate and resolute decision, to lose his composure.

“Interesting, Wei Shutong. Your adopted son is quite something. What’s his situation?” Bai Long’s puzzled voice echoed in Wei Shutong’s mind.

"."

"You ask me? Who should I ask?" Wei Shutong smoothed his slicked-back hair, only to find that he now looked like a middle-aged woman. He lowered his hands, put them behind his back, smiled faintly, and said, "Your Excellency Bailong, this is a secret."

"Your Honor, we demand an explanation!!"

The crowd in the square was still shouting angrily. Zolav recovered from his shock, narrowed his eyes and looked at the judgment platform where the holy light was gradually fading, his gaze slightly cold.

Although I don't know what's going on, this kid surnamed Xia could never be some Black Moon Saint.

After all, the Black Moon Authority's approval does not equate to the Black Moon Goddess's approval.

Furthermore, due to the nature of the Black Moon's authority, the Goddess would never accept a male Star God's proxy.

Therefore, Xia Feng must have used some special means to deceive everyone and the supreme authority of the Black Moon!
Looking calmly down at the indignant crowd, Zolaf knew that if he didn't appease these ignorant people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But it doesn't matter. Since the Moon Spirit Judgment is useless, let the Black Moon Goddess judge Xia Feng herself.

Shut these fools up completely!
