Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 281 Divine Oath
After returning to the Magic City, Xu Shen immediately found Dean Fu and Dean Xiao.

Not telling his parents when being bullied is not Xu Shen’s style.

However, when Xu Shen told the whole story, the two fell strangely silent.

Xu Shen found it hard to accept: "So, you are also the ones who planned this?"

"Xu Shen, listen to me," Dean Xiao said, "We are sorry for Yu Mian in this matter, but..."

"No, you old fools, you keep sacrificing this and that all the time, why don't you sacrifice yourselves?"

Xu Shen was extremely angry and pointed at Dean Xiao's nose and cursed.

"Xu Shen," Dean Fu shouted angrily, "Do you still respect your teacher?"

"Respect teachers?" Xu Shen stiffened his neck and said, "Since ancient times, have you ever heard of a teacher who gained respect by sacrificing his students?"

"you!"

Dean Fu was furious, and the demonic energy around him was shaking.

Dean Xiao stopped Dean Fu who was about to attack and said, "Xu Shen, if there is a chance, we old guys can also sacrifice ourselves."

"Ah"

Dean Xiao sighed and said, "Xu Shen, can you calm down and listen to me patiently?"

Xu Shen snorted coldly. He wanted to hear why these old guys, whose bodies were almost buried in the ground, made such a decision.

Dean Xiao said: "An archangel from the Holy City fell in Shenzhou. Shenzhou must give an explanation."

When Xu Shen mentioned this, he became angry. He angrily asked, "What did Yu Mian do to deserve this 'explanation'?"

"Xu Shen, this world is not about reason, it's about fists!"

Dean Fu's words calmed Xu Shen down, and he suppressed his rage: "So, Yu Mian is a high-level person, why does the Holy City recognize this so-called 'explanation'?"

Dean Xiao sighed and said, "The growth of the victim is unreasonable. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be promoted to Forbidden Spell in just a few years, and then..."

Xu Shen smiled sarcastically and interrupted him, "And then become a stepping stone for a certain angel from the Holy City to return?"

Because of Yu Mian's identity, Xu Shen, who had already regarded the Holy City as an imaginary enemy, would definitely study this enemy.

The apparent supreme rulers of the Holy City are the two priests of the Holy Inquisition.

However, its real foundation is the seven archangel souls left by the Heavenly Father, the only two dominant powerful beings in human history.

Each of these seven soul fetuses can cultivate an angel with emperor-level strength.

This is the case with Laguier who appeared in the ancient capital before.

However, these seven soul fetuses are not controlled by the Holy City. When the previous angel dies, they will look for their successors around the world.

The heirs of these angel souls are also called wandering angels.

However, becoming a patrolling angel does not mean that this person has obtained the true recognition of the angel soul fetus. If one wants to inherit all of its power, one must undergo the final test of the soul fetus without exception.

The test is quite simple, which is to deal with an extremely powerful heretic who is currently or about to bring disaster to the world alone.

This is the rule set by Heavenly Father, no one can disobey it. The holy city calls it the grand ceremony of "Return to the Holy City in Glory."

But I didn’t expect that the Holy City is getting worse and worse. There are so many monsters in the world, but they just targeted the innocent Yu Mian.

It is also true that the identity of the "victim" is simply the perfect victim. She does not need to do anything bad to be condemned by the world.

Xu Shen sneered, and his dislike for the Holy City grew even stronger.

Dean Fu said: "Do you think we want this? I have always treated Yu Mian as my own daughter. I don't want her to be the price more than anyone else. But we sacrificed three forbidden spell mages in the battle of Dongting. Shenzhou has been plagued by internal and external troubles and can no longer withstand the turmoil of the Holy City. Sacrificing Yu Mian is already the smallest 'price', not to mention..."

"Not to mention what?"

Dean Fu took a deep breath, his tone filled with fatigue: "The Siren War may break out at any time, and the Magic City will definitely become the vanguard of the war. We have envisioned countless plans, but none of them can save the Magic City. The Ancient Capital has promised us that it will do its best to protect the teachers and students of Mingzhu Academy in the Siren War, and help us rebuild the school in the Ancient Capital." Xu Shen was silent.

No wonder the two deans agreed.

If the choice is between Mingzhu Academy and Ding Yumian, even Yumian herself would agree.

"So, Yumian herself knows about this?"

"I think so," Dean Fu said uncertainly, "The people from Gudu didn't mention this when they came to us."

"Who is the person from the ancient capital?" Xu Shen asked, "Also, who leaked the identity of Yu Mian's victim."

Dean Fu shook his head and said, "Xu Shen, I know you are angry, but Shenzhou can't stand the turmoil now. Hate or resent, I will give you an explanation after the battle with the sea monster."

"Explain?"

Xu Shen smiled inexplicably: "Do you know the oath of divine language?"

"God's oath?"

Both of them shook their heads in confusion.

Xu Shen explained: "The Oath of Divine Language is the supreme oath engraved in Heavenly Father's creation of the Holy City, and even the seven archangels cannot violate it.

The content of the oath is that anyone who is regarded as a heretic, as long as he gives up resistance and voluntarily accepts the approval of the Holy City, cannot be lynched by any clergyman, including the archangel of the Holy City, and her life and death must be judged by the sin stone of the priest and the judge before it can take effect.

Those who use the divine language oath will have their magic power sealed, which means that their cultivation will no longer improve. However, while losing their power, they will also gain the protection of the oath, and even the archangel of the holy city will not be able to hurt them at all.

In order to reduce the constraints on the archangels, thanks to the efforts of several generations of angels, there are now very few humans who know about this oath.

But, unfortunately, Yumian and I both knew this oath."

Dean Xiao and Dean Fu's faces changed.

Dean Fu said, "Xu Shen, don't make up stories to deceive us at this time."

Xu Shen shook his head and said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I have done my best to tell you this. Oh, by the way, if you make a decision without asking Yu Mian for her opinion, based on my understanding of her, she will most likely use the divine language to swear an oath."

This divine oath came from Lingling's grandfather, the mysterious old man Bao.

It was found by Xu Shen and Lingling when they were looking through his bookstore together.

At that time, I thought it might be useful one day, so I quietly wrote it down.

I hope Yumian really used it.

Thus, the Holy City's idea of ​​making her a stepping stone for the return of an archangel was thwarted.

More importantly, the trial of those who use the "God's Oath" is public. As the "world police", how could the Holy City be so shameless as to allow the Holy Inquisition to mobilize a large force to confuse right and wrong just to judge a mere high-level wizard?
The Holy City still has to maintain its dignity. Some things can be done secretly, but once they are made public.

If people knew that their so-called "Archangel" return ceremony was just a drama with a supporting cast that had already been chosen, no one knew how serious the damage to their prestige would be.

So, if Yu Mian really recited the divine oath.

Then, the final outcome is most likely that Yu Mian is secretly imprisoned and killed in the Holy City.

However, the powerful people in Shenzhou, especially the ancient capital, have to bear the wrath of those who made fun of the holy city.

Xu Shen couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this.

What does it have to do with him if Gudu bears the wrath?
He wanted so badly to clap his hands in approval.

Let these dogs bite each other.

I've been thinking about sacrificing this and that all day long. It's time to sacrifice myself.
