I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 219 : 200. Could he be the Black Moon Saint?

Under the faint morning light, all eyes were fixed.

"Xia Feng, as a citizen of the Empire, you have consorted with the Burning Heaven Sect, turned your back on the Empire, and harmed the people, committing sins too numerous to record."

The Judgment Chief, clad in black and gold divine robes, loomed imposingly as he looked down upon the man on the Judgement Platform, his indifferent cold voice resonating through the Judgement Square:

"This Court, presided by Judgment Chief Zorav, now initiates a righteous judgment against you on behalf of the Black Moon Court according to 'Imperial Religious Law,' for crimes including worshiping the Evil God and betraying the nation to the enemy. Do you plead guilty?"

"I plead your mom." Xia Feng smiled.

"..."

"How dare he insult the Judgment Chief in court? He truly is desperate."

"Judgment Chief, hurry up and kill this damned heretic!"

"Exactly, kill him!"

"Kill him!!"

The colossal statue of the Black Moon Goddess stood at the center of the square, surrounded by nearly ten thousand enraged citizens waving their angry fists, filled with righteous indignation.

For a moment, the vast square was filled with uniform calls for execution.

Seeing this, a flicker of mockery flashed across the calm gaze of Zorav—who effortlessly ignored Xia Feng's impudence—raising the staff in his hand, with starlight twinkling at its core.

"Execute!"

At his indifferent command, the starlight from the staff shot instantly towards the intricate lunar pattern at the center of the Moon Spirit Divine Pillar, buzzing—

As if activated, strands of complex light patterns quickly spread across the entire pillar.

"!" Up in the sky, Mushroom's expression changed slightly, turning back anxiously, "Hey! Why haven't you acted yet?"

The cloaked woman couldn't help but sigh, "Alright, alright."

As she was about to silently signal the others in hiding to make their move, she suddenly paused, her gaze turning in astonishment towards the scene below.

At the same time, Wei Shutong and White Dragon Walker amidst the crowd, who were about to act, also paused, confusedly looking up at the Moon Spirit Divine Pillar.

The mysterious patterns on the Moon Spirit Divine Pillar lit up one by one, rapidly converging towards Xia Feng who was bound and awaiting judgment at the center.

What puzzled everyone, however, was that the expected screams of Xia Feng, whose soul was being scorched by the judgmental blaze so that he would be in unbearable agony, did not occur.

Instead, the flame-like streams of light flowed tranquilly around Xia Feng as if he were a submissive subject, and as the streams of light accumulated, the space above the Judgement Platform even started to twist and shake.

"What is this..." Everyone knew that the Moon Spirit Judgment was originally intended to test the true identity of the Holy Daughter, and only those recognized by the authority of the Black Moon could emerge unscathed from the Moon Spirit Judgment, even exhibiting a Holy Light reaction.

Could this Eternal Day Saint Child... impossible, right??

Just as unease began to rise in everyone's hearts, with a sharp buzzing, the light streams turned into photons invisible to the naked eye, swirling at high speed, and suddenly, a towering pillar of holy white light shot into the sky, reaching from the ground to the heavens and dazzlingly bright.

At this moment, not only the people in Judgement Square, but also all the residents of Junlin City were astounded as they uniformly looked towards the suddenly arisen column of light in the east.

Although they did not know what it was, everyone felt a divine aura that made them involuntarily want to prostrate themselves.

"What the... what the hell?"

On the square, the previously fist-waving crowd was dumbstruck—this was not right. Wasn't the Cult Saint Son supposed to be judged? Was this the sort of reaction befitting judgment of the Cult Saint Son?

"Divine recognition?"

"This is... the Holy Light recognition of the Black Moon's authority!" Finally, someone in the crowd came to their senses, somewhat in disbelief.

"This has to be some kind of joke, how can this be possible!"

"Isn't he the Saint Son of the Cult? How could he possibly receive recognition from the Black Moon Goddess!"

In the crowd, Anthony voiced his unease loudly; he was there to revel in Xia Feng's misfortune, seeing the genius from Weiyang Academy meet a tragic end—wasn't that the fitting finale?

High above, Zorav, too, was taken aback as he looked up at the sky-piercing column of light, his usually indifferent and calm face unable to maintain composure, showing a mix of confusion and shock.

"Judgment Chief, what is... this situation?" The Bald Knight stood in the shadows, equally astonished as he looked upward.

You ask me, who do I ask... Zorav felt that the turn of events was becoming somewhat absurd. A proper Moon Spirit Judgment was taking place, so how had it ended up declaring a Holy Daughter?

And besides, Xia Feng was a man!

Following the normal process, at this point, Xia Feng should have been pierced through the soul by the Holy Light of judgment, begging for mercy through tears and wails while ending his sinful life in unbearable pain.

Or perhaps the fugitive in hiding, Wei Shutong, would come out and risk his life to save him, but it would ultimately be a senseless act of self-destruction leading to his successful capture.

But now...

The supposed Cult heretic who should have been judged by the authority of the Black Moon was instead receiving recognition from it, so how could the judgment proceed...

Did this mean that their own Black Moon Church was heretical...

Seeing that even Judgment Chief Zorav was shocked, the crowd in the square realized that this Xia Feng had indeed received the Black Moon's recognition.

"So, is he still the Cult Saint Son..." someone in the crowd murmured quietly.

They felt played and toyed with, their faces going from pale to flushed with indignation.

Black Moon, Element, Justice are the three great deities officially recognized by the Empire, so how could someone recognized by one of them still be a Cult Saint Son?

They had just been cursing Xia Feng, the evil cult criminal, wishing death upon his entire family, but in the blink of an eye, the situation had turned completely, causing everyone's expression to be very awkward, filled with shame and angry curses.

"What the hell is this! What happened to judging the heretic?"

"Are you playing with us?!"

"Judgment Chief, we need an explanation!!"

"Since he has received the Black Moon authority's recognition, shouldn't Xia Feng be the Black Moon Saint, instead of the Cult's Eternal Day Saint Child?"

Although it was somewhat absurd, the scene before them was indeed such, leaving everyone feeling shocked and doubtful in their hearts, wondering if Xia Feng could be the Black Moon Saint?

But wasn't the Black Moon Goddess known to accept only Holy Daughters?

In the midst of the clamor and public outcry, Wei Shutong and the White Dragon Walker also silently exchanged looks, eyes filled with confusion and incredulity.

This development was indeed beyond their expectations.

They had thought what followed would be a thrilling, life-and-death rescue, but who would have thought that Xia Feng, this kid... actually became the Black Moon Saint?

He had resolved his own life-threatening crisis, almost causing Wei Shutong, who had been mentally preparing for a lonely and resolute act, to lose his composure.

"Interesting, Wei Shutong, your foster son is something else, what exactly is his situation?" The White Dragon's puzzled voice echoed in Wei Shutong's mind.

"..."

You ask me, who do I ask? Wei Shutong stroked his own hair, then realized he was in the guise of a middle-aged woman. He dropped his hand and, standing with his hands behind his back, smiled faintly: "Lord White Dragon, this is a secret."

"Judgment Chief, we need an explanation!!"

The crowd in the square was still angrily shouting, but Zorav, having recovered from his shock, narrowed his eyes and looked toward the Judgement Platform, where the Sky-reaching Holy Light was fading, with a trace of coldness in his gaze.

Although he didn't know what was happening, this Xia lad could not possibly be the Black Moon Saint.

After all, approval from the Black Moon authority did not represent recognition from the Black Moon Goddess,

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

Therefore, Xia Feng must have used some special method to deceive everyone and the most high's Black Moon authority!

Gazing down calmly at the incensed crowd, Zorav knew that if he did not appease these fools, the consequences would be unthinkable.

But no matter, if the Moon Spirit Judgment was ineffective, then let the Black Moon Goddess herself pass judgment on Xia Feng.

Let these foolish people be completely silenced!
