I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 668. The Chaos of the Main Court
Seeing that Chana Yuki was ignoring him, Xia Feng couldn't help but sigh softly.

It has to be said that after Cha Nai Xue recognized Mu Qing Tong as her master, she no longer respected him, her former master.

Things have changed, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be.

After setting up layers of seals, Jiang Qiu'e turned and walked into the living room.

He met Xia Feng's gaze as he looked up.

She stopped instinctively, her ethereal eyes lowered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, pursed her lips, and continued walking forward, nodding indifferently.

Xia Feng frowned, his mouth dry.

It's the queen bee's curse of honey addiction kicking in. Ideally, she should consume honey every day to suppress the curse.

Having not seen Jiang Qiu'e for three days, Xia Feng had actually gotten somewhat used to the constant itching and torment caused by the Queen Bee's Curse, but in reality, his craving for honey had already reached a certain threshold.

Upon seeing Jiang Qiu'e, the alluring beauty beneath her ethereal blue dress exuded a delicate honey fragrance that wafted directly to Xia Feng's nose.

Xia Feng's dark pupils narrowed slightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged out.

Jiang Qiu'e's gaze was indifferent. When she passed Xia Feng, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she slowed her pace slightly, then quickly quickened her pace and walked straight towards the sofa in the distance.

She straightened her elegant long dress, remained serious, and sat down gracefully.

Mu Qingtong closed the heavy book and took off her half-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get to the point." She crossed her legs and leaned back on the sofa, propping her cheek up with her beautiful eyes as she looked at the two saintesses. "What exactly happened?"

Chana looked at the woman in the blue dress, and seeing her cold expression and reluctance to speak, she had no choice but to take the initiative to report:
"We arrived at this snowfield two days ago. After conducting extensive reconnaissance and confirming that Black Moon City was under complete lockdown with no entry or exit allowed, we came to the safe house to stay temporarily."

“Jiang Qiu’e and I each have our own Saintess Palace in Black Moon City and have built our own power base, so we have a way to contact the city’s inner circle.”

“Last night, through a trusted confidant’s secret message, I obtained the contact information for my Holy Shepherd, Master Miao.”

"That's why, when we met with Miao Shi's messenger this morning, we finally got the specific details of the General Court."

Chana Xue's expression was solemn. "According to the information conveyed by the messenger elf, the three holy priests, Moro, Angie, and Miao Shi, have all encountered some problems."

“Pastor Angie defected from the Holy See with a divine artifact called the ‘Sumeru King’s Decree,’ but he did not escape the Black Moon City area. He is most likely hiding in some corner of the city under an assumed name, which is also the reason for the complete lockdown of Black Moon City.”

"After issuing the order to kill Angie, Holy Father Moro imprisoned Master Miao and even planned to be crowned Pope a month later."

Xia Feng was momentarily stunned, surprised: "Crowned Pope? What about the current Pope?"

Chana Yuki shook her head: "The Miao Master Messenger gave two inferences. First, the Pope may have failed in his ascension ritual and suffered a backlash, resulting in his death or serious injury. Second, the Pope has entered a long slumber in time and space, which is not uncommon, because his cultivation robe is special and always requires a long period of slumber."

Listening to Chana Yuki's account, Xia Feng felt that the Black Moon Headquarters was somewhat complicated.

The Black Moon Pope is in trouble, Miao Shi is imprisoned, Anji Holy Pastor has defected, and Moro Holy Pastor is attempting to usurp the throne.
No, what are the benefits of being the Pope?

"Shouldn't the appointment and removal of the Pope require the authority of the Black Moon Goddess?" Xia Feng wondered. "Would the Black Moon Goddess agree to the coronation of Holy Shepherd Moro as Pope?"

Chana shook her head, indicating she didn't know.

"By the way, what are the strengths of the Pope and the Holy Priest?" Xia Feng asked.

“The Black Moon Pope is the [Sage of Light],” Chana Xue said. “As for the Holy Shepherds, of the original three Holy Shepherds, two died. One died during the Imperial Civil War, and the other is rumored to have died after failing to ascend. So currently only Holy Shepherd Moro is the [Sage of Darkness]. Angie and Master Miao are the newly promoted Holy Shepherds of the last thousand years, at the Saint Realm level.”

It seems that the Black Moon Church's top-level combat power has decreased significantly compared to the past, Xia Feng pondered, stroking his chin.

"Tap tap—" Mu Qingtong tapped the coffee table with her knuckles as if deep in thought, then suddenly asked, "Back when we came out of [Sad Hill Abyss] in the 20th District, Cardinal Oberlein attempted to use [Thought Core] to harm you and corrupt and assimilate your minds. Who gave this order?"

This is actually what Xia Feng wanted to ask. After the geniuses from various forces obtained the information that "the Holy Remains are buried in the Holy Spirit Temple·Ling Mountain" from the Abyss of Sorrow, they temporarily settled in the Black Moon Branch Court.

Unexpectedly, Oberyn took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the two saintesses, but his purpose was not to kill them, but to assimilate their minds.

There are many suspicious points in this matter.

The [Thinking Core] is quite strange; it's a sub-artifact of a mysterious artifact.

It's similar to absolute double pupils.

Xia Feng can copy the [Absolute Double Pupil], but he cannot copy the [Thought Core]. It is still kept in a corner of the Na Shi Space, and he has never been able to figure it out.

Furthermore, since the core of the thinking framework can assimilate goal-oriented thinking, it is necessary to have a subjective thinking.

As for who is behind this thinking, it is most likely the person who instructed Aubrey.

“According to the information given by Miao Master’s messenger, this is an order from Holy Shepherd Moro. It was also because of Holy Shepherd Moro that Miao Master was unable to contact me to give me this warning,” Chana Xue said.

That makes sense. Xia Feng nodded thoughtfully, guessing that the owner of the SiCang core was the Holy Shepherd of Moro.
Is the Holy Father Moro targeting the two saintesses for some reason?
Thinking of this, Xia Feng shook his head again.

Regardless of who owns this mysterious artifact, or what the purpose of assimilating the Holy Maiden's mind is.
The main problem now is that the Black Moon Pope has disappeared without a trace, so who has the spirit paper for the [S-rank Spirit Robe - Moon Goddess] fallen into their hands?

Xia Feng's main purpose in coming to the Black Moon General Court was for this spirit garment.

Following the normal learning process for Spirit Garment, it wouldn't be long before Chana Yuki received more detailed information about the Spirit Garment's structure from the Pope.

but now.
Things are a bit complicated.

Seeing that Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong were both deep in thought, Chana Yuki waited a moment, took a deep breath, and suddenly spoke: "Um..."

She blinked. "Besides business, I might be having some personal trouble."

"Hmm?" The two looked up.

Cha Nai Xue sat gracefully with her legs together, pursing her lips as she looked at Xia Feng: "Did you just see some visions of the future?"

Xia Feng was surprised and nodded.

"That was a phenomenon of the spiritual artifact going out of control caused by my Holy Liberation Ritual."

"The Holy Liberation Ceremony?" Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, immediately showing interest.

Not all A-grade spiritual artifacts can be holyly dispelled, and Cha Naiyuki's spiritual artifact is an extremely rare faith-based spiritual artifact, which can only be used by those who have faith in the Naraku Star God.

The ritual for the sacred dismantling of this kind of spiritual artifact is probably not simple.

Moreover, judging from Chana Yuki's words, it seems that something serious went wrong with the Holy Liberation Ritual.
