"Be careful, sir." Gao Weihu also knew this. He bowed and stood in place to say goodbye to Mu Hanyan.

The formation activated, and Mu Hanyan felt the light before her eyes dim, and her body was freed from the constraints of the earth. The next moment, when the light in front of her eyes lit up again, she had arrived in another space.

The surroundings are in ruins, desolate and bleak, with only an ancient and solemn temple standing among the ruins.

Obviously, this is the biggest secret of the Temple of Life, the holy place for cultivation in the minds of countless high priests throughout the ages - the Temple of Souls.

Compared with many temples on the Continent of Gods, the construction technology of this temple is obviously different. In many places, it is similar to the ancient temples on the Continent of Holy Court. This is no wonder. Long before the Holy Continent broke apart, the Temple of the Soul had already stood on the continent, and naturally included the architectural styles of both the Holy Continent and the Holy Court.

Looking at the temple that had stood for millions of years and was still majestic and solemn, Mu Hanyan couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Mu Hanyan surveyed the Soul Palace while remaining vigilant against Guan Xiujin and the others. Having just entered this space, they were inevitably a little uncomfortable, and seeing the Soul Palace made them somewhat uneasy. This was the perfect opportunity for them to strike.

However, what surprised Mu Hanyan was that Guan Xiujin and others did not take action.

"Chief Priest Mu, are you ready? If you are, we will open the ban and send you into the Palace of Spirits and Souls." Guan Xiu Jin said.

"I'm ready." Mu Hanyan didn't know what they were planning, and she wasn't going to take the initiative, so she nodded and said.

Guan Xiujing, Jiang Ruchu and others came to the ancient altar in front of the Soul Hall, stood in a circle, and then each of them made hand gestures, preparing to open the ban.

This time, a total of ten high priests went to the Soul Temple together, including the chief priest Guan Xiujing and the left priest Jiang Ruchu. Each of them was a top-level strongman in the Life Temple. The weakest one, Gao Weilong, had reached the ninth-level Divine Heart Priest. Of course, his real combat power was not that simple, and was not weaker than any high priest present.

By the way, if we talk about weak, Guan Qingyun, who has just reached the sixth-level Divine Heart Priest, is the weakest. However, he did not participate in opening the ban, but stood aside honestly. Guan Xiujin brought him along, obviously just to broaden his horizons and gain some experience.

Runes flashed and flew out from Guan Xiujin's hands, and a golden light gradually emerged from the center of the altar. The golden light grew stronger and stronger, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of Guan Xiujin and others.

Mu Hanyan finally realized that entering the Soul Temple wasn't so easy. Only the high priests working together could break the barrier. Even the ten most powerful masters in the Life Temple were struggling so hard. She, on her own, wouldn't be able to break the barrier, at least not yet.

Finally, the golden beams of light on the altar converged into a single column of light and rushed up. Behind them, the ancient gate of the Soul Hall made a dull sound and slowly opened.

"Chief Priest Mu, you can go in." Guan Xiu Jin stopped the hand seals, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Mu Hanyan.

"Chief Priest Mu, the training and cultivation in the Soul Temple is a great honor and opportunity for every priest of the Life Temple. You must cherish it, strive to gain more insights, and don't let our efforts down." Jiang Ruchu also pretended to be a senior elder and said to Mu Hanyan with a kind and expectant face.

"Yes, if it weren't for Chief Priest Mu's extraordinary talent, amazing cultivation at a young age, and the fact that he killed Xiang Qiuzhan and made great contributions to the temple, we wouldn't have left such a great opportunity to you. Please don't let us down." The other high priests also said in a pretentious manner.

Their plan only has one last step left, and nothing can go wrong at this moment. Even if they have to pretend, they have to pretend that they have no grudge against Mu Hanyan and are only thinking about her.

"Thank you very much, my Lords. I, Mu Hanyan, will always remember this kindness and will never let you down." Mu Hanyan said sincerely, but in her heart she secretly despised them: Do you really think I'm stupid? Don't you know you have bad intentions? Some things are known to everyone, so why pretend?

Without further ado, Mu Hanyan headed straight for the Soul Palace. As they gradually drew closer, everything inside the palace vaguely emerged into view through the massive, ancient palace door.

The entire hall, its dome, walls, and floor, appeared to be constructed of golden bricks. However, due to the passage of time, its former splendor had faded, and it now possessed a darker gold hue, imbued with a solemn and dignified air. Upon closer inspection, every inch of the hall was covered in murals inscribed with runes, adding to its mysterious presence.

What surprised Mu Hanyan the most was that when she looked at those rune murals from afar, she actually felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy.

Could it be an illusion? Mu Hanyan quickened her pace and headed towards the Spirit Hall.

"Boom!" Just as she stepped into the temple, the door behind her slammed shut.

"Hahahaha, Mu Hanyan, no matter how talented and alert you are, it's a pity that you are too obsessed with it. You will not be able to escape from our grasp after all." The next moment, Guan Xiujing's wild laughter rang in his ears.

"Master Guan, what do you mean?" Mu Hanyan asked calmly.

"Don't you understand yet? The restriction of this Soul Palace can only be opened by all of us working together. Once you enter it, the restriction will be closed again. If we don't take action, you won't be able to escape." Guan Xiu Jin said proudly.

"Mu Hanyan, hand over the five-colored soul bead lost by Lord Zhao honestly, and we will lift the ban and let you out." Jiang Ruchu also shouted.

"There are also Tianluo Shenhuan Dan and Zhengyang Shenzhen Dan. No matter how much you swallowed, you should spit it out honestly." Kong Renhe also shouted.

"You are crazy. I came to this Soul Palace to practice and gain experience. Why would I go out?" Mu Hanyan said with contempt.

"Uh..." Kong Renhe and the others stopped talking, realizing they had been too excited and complacent too early. Mu Hanyan had no idea how terrifying the Soul Palace was, so threatening her now was pointless.

If it were them, and they had just finally entered the Soul Palace as they wished, and then were threatened to leave, they would probably think that the other person was having a mental breakdown.

"Mu Hanyan, don't be too happy too soon. Let me tell you, the training in the Spirit Palace is not as easy as you imagined. It won't be long before you'll be crying and begging us to let you out." Guan Xiujin calmed down and said with a cold snort.
