He had long known about the hatred between Mu Hanyan and Zhao Sining, and he also knew that this man would be a disaster if he were alive. Now was the best time to get rid of him.

"Give him the pill." Mu Hanyan thought for a moment and finally decided to do so. Although Zhao Sining hated her to the core, it was thanks to him that she was able to hold on until the end. Mu Hanyan was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. If she killed him like this, she would never be at peace.

"I didn't expect that you...you have actually comprehended this sword spirit! Cough...cough..." Ao Fangchen also took a pill at this time, and stood up tremblingly with difficulty. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke with uneven breathing. As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

Although Ao Fangchen had never participated in the experience of the Holy Soul Illusion, he had seen pigs run even if he had not eaten pork. This was the first time he saw someone comprehend the sword spirit so quietly.

No wonder both Wei Xiaotian and Han Yutang were defeated by her. Now he finally experienced Mu Hanyan's power with his own eyes.

However, until this moment, he still didn't know the origin of this sword spirit, and it was so powerful and terrifying.

In fact, only saints throughout the ages know the secret.

"Elder Ao, why don't we just let today's matter go? I'll just pretend nothing happened. How about that?" Mu Hanyan said.

If Jiang Yuzhe were present, he would definitely suggest taking advantage of Ao Fangchen's injury to kill him and end the matter. Mu Hanyan actually had a similar thought. This old man was too arrogant and too protective of his shortcomings. If he continued to haunt her like this, he would eventually destroy her at his hands.

However, there is no danger in the training of the Holy Soul Illusion. Even killing Wei Xiaotian will definitely cause an uproar, not to mention Ao Fangchen, who has an extraordinary status and is known as the Divine Elder.

She hadn't stopped Zhao Si Ning when he was about to kill Wei Xiaotian because he was mentally ill. Even if the incident reached the Holy Lord, the only option would be to expel him from the Holy Court. But she wasn't mentally ill. How could she explain to the Holy Court if she killed Ao Fangchen?

Of course, these concerns are secondary. The most important thing is that she really put all her strength into that sword strike just now. Now she can't muster any strength at all, and she is powerless to kill Ao Fangchen.

"Hmph, do you really think that I can't cripple you even though I'm seriously injured?" Ao Fangchen snorted coldly.

In fact, he had already been a little shaken before, and his interest was even more waning due to his serious injuries. But after hearing Mu Hanyan's words, he felt uneasy. He felt that giving up like this would be too humiliating.

Mu Hanyan's heart trembled. This old man still refused to give up. This was going to be a bit troublesome.

"A dead duck is still stubborn!" At this moment, the figures in front of him flashed, and two old men appeared in front of him.

"Gu Huangji!" Mu Hanyan exclaimed when she saw one of the old men.

"Bu Xuanji (Uncle Bu)!" Ao Fangchen and Wei Xiaotian looked at the other old man and also exclaimed in surprise.

Mu Hanyan then noticed that the old man named Bu Xuanji was wearing the sword robe of a Holy Court deacon. How could a Holy Court deacon be together with a temple priest?

A light bulb went off in Mu Hanyan's mind, and many of her questions were answered.

Ye Lanxuan and Jian Wuchen secretly investigated for a long time, but they could not find out who issued the order to exterminate the Han and Tang families. The disciples of the Holy Court were hostile to Mu Hanyan and other descendants of the guardian of the gods. Who was behind the scenes to sow discord? Seeing Gu Huangji and Bu Xuanji, who was wearing the sword robe of the Holy Court deacon beside him, Mu Hanyan finally found the answer.

However, they didn't know that he was originally a member of the temple, and was bribed by Gu Huangji to collude with him.

"This is the so-called Holy Court Divine Elder you mentioned. He is just so-so. He can't even deal with a few juniors at the level of Grand Swordsmen, and he was injured like this!" Just as Mu Hanyan was secretly guessing, Gu Huangji looked at Ao Fangchen and said with contempt.

"Who are you? How dare you disrespect me!" Ao Fangchen failed to defeat Mu Hanyan and the other two, and was instead seriously injured by Mu Hanyan's last sword. He was already feeling very humiliated, and now he was rubbing salt into the wound, so he was naturally furious.

Although both of them look like they have white hair, Gu Huangji is actually much younger than Ao Fangchen. Gu Huangji was not even born when the war took place a thousand years ago, so Ao Fangchen did not know him.

"I'm Gu Huangji, the blessed priest of the temple!" Gu Huangji said proudly.

"What, you... are the blessed priest, a member of the temple!" Ao Fangchen was shocked.

Not only Ao Fangchen, but also Wei Xiaotian behind him was shocked.

"So, you have betrayed the Holy See and become part of the evil sects in the Temple?" Then, Ao Fangchen turned his head and looked at Bu Xuanji, his eyes almost spitting fire.

The Holy See and the Temple have been fighting for millions of years, and what they hate most are these traitors who betray their own people.

"I originally belonged to the temple, so how can I say betrayal?" Bu Xuanji said with a cold snort.

"Impossible. Since your great-grandfather, they have been serving the Holy See. How could you be a member of the temple?" Ao Fangchen said in disbelief.

The Holy Court has been elusive and mysterious since ancient times because of its extremely strict selection of candidates. The vast majority of the Holy Court's disciples are passed down from generation to generation, and Bu Xuanji is one of them.

Of course, not every descendant of the Holy Court can join the Holy Court. It also depends on their talent and character. When Bu Xuanji was selected into the Holy Court, it was Ao Fangchen who personally supervised the selection, so he also had some impression of him.

"No, you are wrong. In fact, everyone has been serving the Holy Court since my great-great-grandfather. However, my great-great-grandfather died young and died unexpectedly just a few years after joining the Holy Court, so you ignored him." Bu Xuanji smiled faintly, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

"Your great-great-grandfather?" Ao Fangchen thought about it, but really had no impression.

"In that great war a thousand years ago, the Holy Court suffered heavy casualties, and afterward began recruiting disciples. My great-grandfather was chosen to join the Holy Court at that time. No one knows that he actually infiltrated the Holy Court continent from the Divine Continent during that war. Because he was only a disciple of the Outer Court, he died too early and was quickly forgotten, so no one investigated his background in detail.

Afterwards, my great-grandfather naturally joined the Holy Court, also a member of the Outer Court. However, like my great-great-grandfather, he died heroically in battle five years after joining. Then, my grandfather also joined the Holy Court, but as a member of the Inner Court. Similarly, he sacrificed his life for the Holy Court a few years later.

Then, it was my father, and finally, it was my turn." Bu Xuanji said calmly, his eyes filled with sadness.
