Jiang Qiling and Gao Weihu also realized this, and looked at Mu Hanyan with concern, but were surprised to find that Mu Hanyan had a look of joy and enlightenment on her face.

As Sha Mingyuan executed his first hand seal, Mu Hanyan felt a sense of déjà vu. As he executed each hand seal, the memories of the Aolai beast, deep within his memory, reawakened. Hand seals, divine chants, appeared in his mind. Though profound and mysterious, and difficult to understand, they felt utterly familiar, as if he had practiced them thousands of times before.

Could it be that this Qiankun Seal of Life and Death originally belonged to her? Mu Hanyan wondered with surprise. The guardians of the gods had followed her residual soul to the Sacred Continent, and the Aolai beast had also followed her there, with several protective artifacts also dropped there. It wasn't surprising that the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death originally belonged to her.

Under the surprised gazes of Jiang Qiling and others, Mu Hanyan performed hand gestures and uttered soft chants.

As she made hand gestures, runes danced like colorful butterflies and flew towards the indestructible barrier.

Time passed slowly. It was unknown how long it had been. Suddenly, in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death made a sound like the sound of immortals. In an instant, divine light bloomed, and fantastic colors like the aurora shot up into the sky, illuminating the night sky.

"Hahahaha, it's done. This Qiankun Seal of Life and Death is finally in the pocket of me, the Evil Lord Cang Liao!" Cang Liao laughed loudly and stretched out his hand to grab the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death.

"Eight Wastelands, the God Falls!" At this moment, a sword beam like a burning flame came towards him, and then he saw Mu Hanyan's beautiful yet cold face.

Chang Liao was completely unprepared and instinctively swung his sword. The blood-red sword shadow, three feet long and several inches wide, appeared out of thin air again, blocking his way like a huge shield.

"Look at my protective magic pot, and Mount Buzhou will be broken!" But the next moment, a ferocious beast with a hideous face appeared out of thin air before his eyes, charging towards him with a huge pot on its head.

"Shi Po, it's shocking!"

"Xuantian, the sword is broken!" Immediately afterwards, there were Gao Weihu's hammer shadows all over the sky and Jiang Qiling's sword that broke the sky.

Cang Liao had been sleeping for a million years. Although he had recovered some strength by slaughtering innocent people, those people had no cultivation after all, so his strength recovery was really limited. He never expected that so many powerful people were imprisoned in the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death, and he was caught off guard.

Under the combined attack of Mu Hanyan and the others, the massive blood-red sword shadow shattered. Cang Liao was also thrown back, blood spurting from his mouth. His already youthful face seemed to age ten years.

"The Fall of the Eight Desolate Gods, it's actually the Fall of the Eight Desolate Gods, who are you!" Chi Liao got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said to Mu Hanyan in surprise.

"Kill him!" Mu Hanyan didn't waste time talking to him and slashed out with another Eight Desolate Divine Meteorite.

Taotie and others had been ready for a long time, waiting for Mu Hanyan's order to attack again.

Although they had no affection for Sha Mingyuan, Fei Changle, and the others, and didn't care about their lives, seeing the corpses scattered across the City Lord's Mansion and the river of blood flowing, they still felt a pang of grief in their hearts, and hated Chang Liao to the extreme. They also knew that if Chang Liao continued to kill like this, the Divine Continent would be devastated.

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, Cang Liao was once again knocked away by the combined force of everyone.

A sword wound ran diagonally from the shoulder to the side, and reddish-brown blood gushed out, revealing the white bones and beating internal organs.

"It's you, it's you, you are not dead after all!" Cang Liao covered his wound and looked at Mu Hanyan with shock in his eyes.

Obviously, he had guessed Mu Hanyan's origin.

"Kill!" Mu Hanyan slashed out with her sword again. Taotie and the others also attacked at the same time.

This time, Cang Liao did not continue to swing his sword to block, but suddenly made a hand gesture, and a blood mist suddenly exploded with him as the center.

"Be careful!" Mu Hanyan quickly stopped her attack and swung her sword back in defense. Taotie and Gao Weihu also deployed their protective cauldrons and life shields, respectively, blocking the crowd.

Although Cang Liao's strength was not as strong as they imagined, he was still a strong man from the Divine Martial Realm, so they did not dare to be careless.

"Bang bang bang bang..." The exploding blood-colored mist was like millions of flying arrows, hitting Taotie's protective magic pot and Gao Weihu's life shield heavily.

Under that tremendous force, Mu Hanyan and others were shocked and retreated again and again.

However, the price that Cang Liao paid for performing this move was not small. His old body became hunched again, his face was covered with wrinkles, and the light in his eyes was dim. He seemed to have aged hundreds of years in an instant. His whole body was trembling, and blood was gushing out of his mouth.

Just as thousands of blood arrows flew out, Cang Liao turned around and staggered away towards the outside of the city, leaving a glaring blood trail along the way.

Finally, the last blood arrow exploded on Taotie's protective magic pot. Mu Hanyan and others were shocked back several feet away. In the distance, Cang Liao's figure also disappeared into the night sky.

As Chang Liao fled, the undead puppets around him fell down one after another and turned into piles of dry bones.

"I didn't expect this old fellow had this trick up his sleeve," Jiang Qiling said with lingering fear, and Long Wudang was also filled with fear. Fortunately, Taotie and Gao Weihu simultaneously launched a defensive attack. Otherwise, except for Mu Hanyan and Taotie, the others would not be able to withstand the thousands of sharp arrows formed by the blood mist.

"It's a pity that he still escaped." The Taotie God shook his head and said regretfully.

"Fortunately, he is seriously injured and should not be able to do evil in the short term. As long as the major temples take strict precautions, it should not be difficult to find him, and it will not be difficult to kill him at that time." Mu Hanyan said.

This outcome wasn't entirely unexpected. After all, Chang Liao was a powerful being from the Divine Martial Realm. Even Zhan Yuan had failed to slay him, lingering for millions of years. How could he be so easily killed? Fortunately, under their combined siege, Chang Liao had sustained significant injuries, and his escape had severely damaged his vitality. It would likely take him a long time to recover. If they could find him sooner, eliminating him shouldn't be difficult.

Taotie and others nodded. The reason they couldn't find Chang Liao before was because the major temples knew nothing about him. Even Mu Hanyan mistakenly thought that it was Zhan Yuan who made the move. Now that they had a clear target, the search would naturally be much easier.

Putting aside the matter of Cang Liao for the time being, Mu Hanyan and others returned to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Mu Hanyan first put away the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death, and came to Sha Mingyuan. At this time, Sha Mingyuan's internal organs and heart veins were broken, and he was already on the verge of death. His eyes were full of regret when he looked at Mu Hanyan.
