"Then I won't be polite. You are really amazing. That old guy is so vulnerable in front of you." It was rare for Yan Yuchu to admire a person of the same age so much. He did not hide it and said it frankly.
"Is he so vulnerable? You underestimate him." Fen Qianji smiled bitterly.
Only then did Mu Hanyan notice that his face had a sickly blush and his breathing was irregular, clearly indicating injury.
"Are you injured?" Mu Hanyan asked in surprise, and subconsciously grasped his pulse and probed with her spiritual sense.
A scorching, dark aura surged through his body. His powerful Qi, even though suppressed, had still reached the ninth level of Sword Master, but it offered no resistance against this scorching aura. Wherever it passed, meridians ruptured, and even his Qi Sea was severely damaged. If Fen Qianji hadn't possessed extremely strong defenses like Hua Yue, he would have been rendered useless long ago.
"How could this happen?" Mu Hanyan tried to refine the aura with the Tianxin technique, but it had no effect, so she was even more surprised.
"The Divine Prison Refining Fire is the fire of reincarnation. Unless you can comprehend its ultimate mystery, every time you use it, you will have to experience the cycle of life and death." Fen Qianji's voice trembled slightly, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead. It was obvious that he was in great pain.
Mu Hanyan remembered that the last time he was hit by the Ten Thousand Ants Heart-Eating Pill, he didn't feel this much pain. This shows how overbearing the Divine Prison Refining Fire is.
"But it's nothing serious, he won't die." Seeing Mu Hanyan's worried look, Fen Qianji added another sentence, trying to force a comforting smile, but it made people feel even more sad.
"Thank you for what you did just now..." Mu Hanyan said with a complicated expression.
After hearing what Gu Huangji said before he left, she knew that this matter would never end there. Saving herself, Hua Yue and others would inevitably bring endless trouble to Fen Qianji.
"Do you remember what you said last time at Longyan College?" Fen Qianji looked at Mu Hanyan and said word by word, "We are friends."
"Yes, we are friends." Mu Hanyan nodded heavily, her eyes becoming moist.
"Okay, it's time for me to go. You guys just be careful." Fen Qianji forced a smile and walked out.
"Wait, what is your purpose in coming to the Holy Court Continent?" Mu Hanyan suddenly stopped him and asked.
She actually didn't want to ask this question, because she had already guessed that Fen Qianji came to the Holy Court Continent because of her, otherwise there would not have been the betrayal in her previous life. After her rebirth, she was heartbroken and could not let it go. But now she knew that there was another reason. This question had been weighing on her heart and would sooner or later become her inner demon.
"I came to the Holy Court Continent for you. The power of God's protection is too strong and poses a great threat to the Temple. Only by strangling you in the cradle can the Temple be freed from future troubles. Of course, the same is true for the Holy Court.
For millions of years, the Continent of Gods and the Continent of the Holy Court have been able to coexist peacefully, partly because of the existence of the Beiyuan Mist Plain, and partly because both the Holy Court and the Divine Temple have been trying every possible way to exterminate the descendants of each other's divine guardians." Fen Qianji's body trembled slightly, but he still spoke frankly.
Hua Yue and the others hadn't expected him to be so forthright. Their expressions changed slightly, and they instinctively grasped the hilts of their swords, only to release them immediately. If Fen Qianji truly intended to harm them, why would he have saved them just now, and why would he have turned against Gu Huangji?
What's more, he was already seriously injured at this time, while Mu Hanyan and Yan Yuchu were still able to fight. If he really wanted to harm them, he shouldn't have said it at all.
"We are friends." Thinking of Fen Qianji's previous words, and seeing his frank eyes that were as bright as the night stars, Hua Yue and others felt ashamed, with self-deprecating expressions on their faces.
"So now, you shouldn't kill us again, right?" Mu Hanyan also smiled and asked jokingly.
If Fen Qianji kept hiding things, Mu Hanyan might not be able to completely let it go. After all, the sword that pierced her heart from behind in her previous life brought her too much pain, and in fact, it also brought too much pain to Fen Qianji. Since he was not reborn like her, he was still trapped in that painful dream and couldn't extricate himself.
Fen Qianji's frankness in revealing his purpose for coming to the Holy Court Continent actually made Mu Hanyan breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that, just as the fates of Hua Yue and the others had changed, Fen Qianji's life trajectory had also changed. The tragedy of his previous life should not happen again.
Seeing the smiles on Hua Yue and Mu Hanyan's faces, Fen Qianji also smiled, his eyes even softer and warmer. This kind of friendship was something he had never experienced before, and this kind of trust was something he had never dared to even hope for.
"The Lord God may not know about the Nine Netherworld Prison yet. Once the seal of the Nine Netherworld Prison is completely broken, it means that the world will return to chaos. At that time, not only the Holy Court Continent, but also the Continent of Gods will be destroyed. I think under such circumstances, he should revoke his decision." Fen Qianji replied.
"Are you going back?" Mu Hanyan sensitively caught the implication of his words and asked.
"It's time for me to go back, but not now. At least, I have to wait until you are promoted to Sword Saint." When saying this, Fen Qianji was still so frank and calm.
Mu Hanyan was slightly startled by his words, but immediately understood what he meant. Although he had abandoned his original plan and even openly disobeyed the Divine Lord's orders, the masters of the Divine Temple who had infiltrated the Holy Court Continent would not betray the Temple on his word. After all, besides him, the Divine Speech Priest, there were also Divine Blessing Priests like Gu Huangji. Although she didn't know the hierarchy among the priests in the Temple, Mu Hanyan could see that the Divine Blessing Priests were no less powerful than the Divine Speech Priests.
Probably the same as in the Holy Court Continent, although the status of the Twelve Saints is transcendent, that is only because they are the direct disciples of the Holy Lord and have the possibility of succeeding the Holy Lord in the future. But when it comes to authority in the Holy Court, law enforcement elders like Tian Wenliang are not necessarily weaker than them.
It was certain that the Temple's masters would not allow Mu Hanyan to grow up like this. Sooner or later, they would take action. The enemy was in the dark, while we were in the light. Furthermore, the various unique skills of the Temple's priests were completely different from those of the Holy Court Continent. As long as Mu Hanyan did not reach the realm of Sword Saint, she would always be in danger. He stayed to protect Mu Hanyan. After all, he was also a Divine Language Priest, and was more familiar with the methods of those Temple's masters.
"Qian Ji..." Mu Hanyan was even more moved when she understood Fen Qian Ji's intention of staying.
"Don't say thank you anymore. Since we are friends, don't keep saying these two words." Fen Qianji interrupted Mu Hanyan.
