If he saw correctly, Deacon Su's sword grip was trembling slightly. The Great Handprint of the Temple was said to be one of the most supreme techniques in the Temple. Throughout history, countless powerful Saints had perished under its influence. Could it be that today was his death?
"Bufan, take them away." The old lady suddenly turned her head and shouted to Tang Bufan who was still in a daze.
Mu Hanyan was an outsider after all, and it was not the first time she had experienced such a situation. So although she was shocked when she learned the old lady's true identity, she quickly came to her senses. However, Tang Bufan was in the middle of the situation. When he suddenly saw his mother and sister, and saw that his grandmother who had raised him with great difficulty had become a person in the temple, he was shocked. He was stunned for a moment, and only woke up from his dream when he heard her cry.
He knew that there was still a big gap between his strength and the other party's, and it would be cumbersome to take action. Without any hesitation, he stepped forward to help Aunt Xiu and Han Yuner up and rushed out.
Just as Tang Bufan was about to break out of the barrier, the old lady suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. Her face turned pale, and her already old face seemed to have aged ten years.
Deacon Su and the others were startled at first, but then their expressions became relaxed.
"You old woman, I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you were just pretending." Deacon Su was just scared to death, and only then did he realize that this old woman didn't have much strength. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a little embarrassed and said angrily.
"Grandma." Tang Bufan suddenly stopped and looked at his grandmother anxiously.
"Go, go quickly! Go as far as you can and never come back." The old lady shouted.
Mu Hanyan sighed secretly. It was obvious that Tang Bufan's grandmother was not as strong as Yue Ji. Yue Ji was exhausted after using forbidden techniques to tear open the seal, while she could only barely form a barrier and use some kind of big hand seal, but she was actually seriously injured.
However, Mu Hanyan also knew that the reason why she formed the barrier at all costs and performed the great handprint of the temple was to intimidate Deacon Su and others and create a chance for Tang Bufan to escape.
Deacon Su took a step forward and brought the tip of his sword down on the old lady's neck.
Although the most vulnerable part for cultivators is actually the heart meridian and qi sea, the old lady's cultivation level is obviously not high. She was just bluffing just now. This sword strike could also take her life.
Mu Hanyan smiled bitterly. The old lady had acted out that play so realistically that even she was fooled. In addition, the old lady was anxious to help Tang Bufan escape, so she took the initiative to attack Deacon Su and the other three. However, she was exposed as soon as she got in front of them. Now even Mu Hanyan had no time to help her.
"Grandma!" Tang Bufan hesitated for a moment, then gripped the sword tightly, turned around and walked back.
"Bufan, why don't you listen to me? Why don't you listen to me?" The old lady sighed and said in despair.
"Grandma, please forgive my unfilial behavior. You raised me, and I can't abandon you to live in this world." Tang Bufan said with pursed lips.
"I am an old woman and I will die if I want to. You are the only descendant of the Han family. How could you do such a stupid thing?" The old lady scolded in frustration.
"I only know that if it weren't for grandma, I would have died long ago. Since I can't repay my grandmother for raising me, then I will die with her. This will be a clear conscience for heaven and earth." Tang Bufan said resolutely.
Mu Hanyan looked at Tang Bufan deeply, and recalled the moment when he sacrificed his life for her in her previous life. At that time, he should have had the same idea. If he couldn't save her, then he would die with her, at least he would have a clear conscience.
Perhaps others might think this was a bit paranoid, a bit foolish. Perhaps his best option was to flee and seek revenge later. But he couldn't bear to watch the person closest to him die before his eyes, so he chose to die with them rather than leave.
Be it paranoia or stupidity, this was his belief. If it weren't for this belief, he would have abandoned Mu Hanyan in his previous life and tried to find a way to avenge her, but he didn't.
Therefore, in this life, he will not give up his loved ones and is unwilling to live in disgrace.
Mu Hanyan felt a deep respect in her heart.
Tang Bufan's strength is not strong, and his qualifications are not outstanding, but his belief is awe-inspiring.
Aunt Xiu gritted her teeth and returned to Tang Bufan's side. Han Yuner held her hand tightly, her expression still so determined and fearless.
Because Mu Hanyan revealed her identity as a daughter at Longyan College, only the Supreme Elder and some elders of the Mu family saw it with their own eyes. Even some of the clan members had only heard of it, but had never seen what Mu Hanyan looked like when she restored her female makeup. Given Aunt Xiu and Han Yuner's identities, it was even more impossible for them to know.
So the two of them just glanced at Mu Hanyan for a few times before looking away. In this situation, they certainly wouldn't care about Mu Hanyan's name or background.
"Forget it, our Han family can't escape the disaster after all. It won't be lonely if we can die together." The old lady said with a long sigh.
Tang Bufan and Aunt Xiu didn't say anything. They were all prepared to die together.
"Miss Jiang, please go now. I, Tang Bufan, am very grateful for what happened today." Tang Bufan said to Mu Hanyan.
"Miss Jiang, you already know their identities. I see that you are quite powerful and you must have some status in Longyan College. You should know the origin of the temple. This matter is not something you can interfere with." Deacon Su said.
"I... I understand. I'll leave now." Mu Hanyan's heart moved, and she pretended to be panicked and said with a pale face.
"That's good." Deacon Su said.
Mu Hanyan said nothing more, turned around and left in a hurry. She seemed to be too frightened and almost fell down.
"Master Steward, she is closely involved with the remnants of the Han family. Isn't it inappropriate to let her go like this?" Seeing Mu Hanyan pass through the barrier and leave the courtyard, a young man behind her asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, how could I let her go so easily? After dealing with these remnants of the Han family, I will find her and ask her thoroughly to see if there is anything suspicious about her." When talking about the two things on his body, Deacon Su emphasized his tone, and a strong evil intent appeared in his eyes.
"Oh?" The person behind him didn't understand and looked at him with confusion.
"When I first saw that she was quite powerful, I was a little afraid of her. I didn't expect that she would be so scared when she knew that I was related to the temple. She is obviously a timid person. If I just scare her a few times, I'm afraid she won't obey me and let me do whatever I want." Seeing that the man was like a blockhead who didn't understand romance, Deacon Su felt that he was just talking to a cow, so he just said it bluntly.
