Taowu was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and kept muttering, "I'm dead. I actually dared to be rude to Lord Aolai. I'm really dead this time."
It really wanted to faint at this point, and then die unconsciously with Mu Hanyan's death. Unfortunately, the beast's will was too strong. Even if it wanted to faint, it couldn't, and could only suffer in fear.
As everyone watched in amazement, and during Taowu's desperate last prayer, an even more shocking scene occurred.
The most powerful "ghost beast" stared at Mu Hanyan blankly, its roar growing quieter and quieter. Finally, it leaned its head closer and gently rubbed her cheek. Two sparkling tears streamed from its eyes.
The intimate and enjoying look on its face was just like a big dog that had been lost for many years and finally found its owner again.
"What's going on? How could this happen?" Everyone stared at the scene blankly, their minds were filled with confusion.
Nearby, the Nether Lords let out a deep roar. Although previously intimidated by the might of Aolai's divine beasts, they were not of the Holy Court Continent after all, and had no contractual ties with the Aolai beasts. They quickly adapted, revealing the uniquely ferocious and brutal aura of the Nether Beasts, staring intently at Mu Hanyan.
"Hanyan, be careful!" Gong Hongru reminded.
Because the situation between Mu Hanyan and the Aolai beast was too strange, they couldn't understand what was going on for a while and didn't dare to act rashly. They were afraid that if they accidentally angered the Aolai beast, it would bring Mu Hanyan to death.
Of course, they didn't know the origin of the Aolai beast at this time. Although they could see that it was very different from the underworld beast, they did not dare to take it lightly.
"Roar!" The divine beast Aolai suddenly roared towards the sky.
Gong Hongru and others thought it had gone mad, and their faces changed. Just as they were about to make every effort to save Mu Hanyan, they saw a golden gust of wind blowing past the Lords of the Underworld, and several muffled "bang bang bang" sounds rang out almost at the same time.
The Lord of the Underworld, whose figure was several feet tall, suddenly became shorter and was beaten into a meat patty.
The Aolai divine beast turned its head, looked at Mu Hanyan deeply, let out a long roar towards the sky, and then flew away, leaving behind only a golden mist shadow across the sky.
There was silence all around. Mu Hanyan looked at the disappearing figure of the Aolai divine beast, her heart filled with unspeakable reluctance, as if she had lost something most important.
Jiang Yunhe, Tu Jingleng, and the other three elders were stunned. Gone! The strongest underworld beast they had summoned through blood sacrifice, at the cost of their lifespans... or perhaps it wasn't a underworld beast, but some other exotic or divine beast, was gone just like that. Not only had it gone, but before leaving, it had also bludgeoned those powerful underworld lords into a pulp.
Thinking about their own life span which was already nearing the end, and then looking at Mu Hanyan who was safe and sound, they felt like crying but had no tears.
"I didn't expect this would be the result. Mu Hanyan, how many more surprises do you want to bring to others?" Jiang Qiling smiled bitterly. Strangely, there was not much loss and frustration on her face. Instead, there was a sense of relief.
Jiang Yunhe gritted his teeth, let out a soft shout, and soared into the air with Jiang Qiling, followed closely by Tu Jingleng and the other three elders. At this point, they all knew there was no point in staying any longer. Although they were extremely powerful, they were still slightly inferior to Gong Hongru and the others, especially Feng Qingyu, whose strength was even greater than theirs. There was no hope for them to snatch the Destiny Star Disk from Mu Hanyan.
Feng Qingyu moved, and was about to chase after them, but then he heard Nangong Jingyuan sigh softly: "Forget it, let them go. Although the Divine Servant Clan has different philosophies from us, in the final analysis, it is all for the safety of the continent. There is no need to kill them all."
"You are just too kind-hearted and like to be a pushover." Feng Qingyu was obviously unwilling, but still stopped.
"If I didn't like nice guys, how could you have gotten away so easily back then?" Nangong Jingyuan said with a wry smile.
"You sound so aggrieved. That's the position of the dean of Longyan College. You're second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Even the emperors of various countries have to address you as 'Dean' when they see you. I don't know how many people in the world are jealous of you and even blame me." Feng Qingyu said with a rogue look on his face.
"Since there are so many people in the world who are jealous of you, why don't you take it? Why throw it to me?" Nangong Jingyuan said unhappily, puffing his beard and glaring.
Mu Hanyan was secretly shocked. When she heard Nangong Jingyuan's instructions to Feng Qingyu as if they were his last words, she had vaguely guessed that this wretched fat man was of some importance. Now she knew that the position of dean Nangong Jingyuan was actually given to him by Feng Qingyu.
"You know my personality. I'm naturally restless. If I really took over the position of dean, I'm afraid the academy would have been ruined in my hands long ago. It would be more suitable for you to be the dean." The fat man chuckled.
Mu Hanyan nodded secretly, deeply agreeing with the wretched fat man's words. With his dishonest and perverted hands, if she really handed the position of Longyan Academy's dean into his hands, she didn't know whether it would ruin him or not, but she was certain of one thing: from now on, no female disciple would dare to enter the academy.
"My dear disciple, come here and let your master take a look. Are you injured just now?" Feng Qingyu ignored Nangong Jingyuan and walked quickly towards Mu Hanyan.
"Wait, wait, I don't think I've become your disciple yet." Seeing his smiling, oh no, lustful look, Mu Hanyan felt the hairs on her back stand on end. She quickly took two steps back and took a defensive stance.
"What? You still don't want to become my disciple? Didn't you hear what old man Nangong said? I gave him the position of dean back then. As long as I asked, there would be countless people vying to become my disciples. How dare you refuse? Also, if I hadn't acted in time just now, you would have been in danger today..." Feng Qingyu became anxious and spoke with saliva flying.
"It seems like you didn't help much just now. In the end, I still had to rely on myself." Mu Hanyan muttered in a low voice.
Feng Qingyu choked. Although they had just rescued Mu Hanyan, they were powerless after Jiang Yunhe and the others used a blood sacrifice to summon the Underworld Lord and the powerful divine beast. It was only thanks to Mu Hanyan herself that the divine beast counterattacked and ultimately forced Jiang Yunhe and the others to retreat. (They also realized that the powerful underworld beast Jiang Yunhe mentioned was definitely not a underworld beast, but a divine beast that had long since disappeared from the Holy Court Continent.)
In this case, Mu Hanyan's escape was mainly due to herself, and his contribution was not that great.
