Mu Hanyan was originally still worried. Outside of the Small Divine Heaven, there were the territories of the five upper-level temples. Each upper-level temple had twelve lower-level temples under its jurisdiction. There were also ancient temples like the Flower Rain Temple, which were small in scale but had a long heritage. There were countless priest families. How easy would it be to find these two broken seals?

She had asked Wen Gaoren to inquire for a long time but could not find any clues. Who knew that after searching everywhere, she would find the broken seal in Sha Mingyuan's hands without any effort.

"What the hell is this magical weapon?" Long Wudang stabbed east and west with his sword. After trying for a long time, he couldn't break the restriction. Finally, he ran out of strength, put away the sword and said dejectedly.

"Sir, do you want me to try to break the ban by force?" Taotie asked Mu Hanyan.

With his strength, if he transformed back into his original form, he might be able to forcibly break through the restricted space. However, he knew that the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death was of great use to Mu Hanyan, and he was afraid of accidentally destroying the remaining seal, so he did not dare to act rashly.

"Wait a minute, let me think of a way first." Mu Hanyan was also afraid of destroying the remaining seal, so she wanted to try first to see if she could open the restriction without destroying the remaining seal itself.

After saying that, Mu Hanyan focused her mind and explored the surroundings. Soon, Mu Hanyan sensed the unique aura of the forbidden formation, but this aura was complicated and mysterious, and for a moment, she could not find a way to break it.

Mu Hanyan was not in a hurry either. She had long realized that although the fragments of the Qiankun Life and Death Seal had powerful spatial restrictions, they did not pose any threat to their lives. Sha Mingyuan actually had no way to deal with them. Even if he wanted to trap them to death, he didn't know how long it would take. She had enough time to study this restricted space.

Seeing that Mu Hanyan was not in a hurry, Gao Weihu and others were not in a hurry either. They simply sat cross-legged and started practicing on the spot.

In the meeting hall, Fei Changle and the others fawned over Sha Mingyuan, who roared with laughter. Even he himself wasn't entirely sure how many millennia the Sha family had left Lesser Divine Heaven. He only knew that the Sha family had suffered heavy casualties fighting for the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death, forcing them to leave Lesser Divine Heaven. For so many years, the Sha family had hidden their origins and lived in seclusion, intent on comprehending the secrets of the Qiankun Seal. Only with its help could they regain their former strength, return to Lesser Divine Heaven, and reclaim the status and glory that rightfully belonged to them.

Finally, in his generation, he successfully comprehended the mystery of the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death, and the Sha family will surely rise to glory in his hands!

As for Mu Hanyan, he had long since forgotten her. Although Mu Hanyan's strength was indeed considerable, she was trapped within the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn't escape. Sooner or later, she would have to bow down to him.

"Ah..." Just when Sha Mingyuan was full of confidence, suddenly, a shrill scream pierced the night sky.

In Pingchuan City, which was as quiet as a deserted city, the scream was so piercing that the City Lord's Mansion, which had been bustling with joy just a moment ago, suddenly became dead silent, and everyone looked towards the door in confusion.

Before they could figure out what was happening, several more screams rang out, and everyone in the hall's faces changed drastically. Although most of the young men from every family and clan in the city had come to the City Lord's Mansion for the banquet, many women, children, and servants remained at home. If they encountered any danger, they would have little ability to protect themselves.
