Of course, he himself was also extremely shocked by the scene before him. He couldn't understand how Mu Hanyan killed Kang Qingyuan, but in front of Sikong Qinglan, he certainly wouldn't ask too much.
"So that's how it is. The Kang family actually tried to kill a natural born priest of the gods for their own selfish interests. No wonder he knew about it but kept it a secret and instigated Lords Wen and Liang to make things difficult for Miss Mu. I will definitely report this matter to Chief Priest Chu and give justice to the Mu family." Sikong Qinglan said righteously.
Mu Hanyan was shocked. If she reported this to Chu Yanghe, it would have no impact on Kang Qingyuan. The person was dead, so how unlucky could he be? But she would be in big trouble. Chu Yanghe and others were not stupid. When they asked her how she killed Kang Qingyuan, how would she explain?
"Why don't we just forget it? Although Kang Qingyuan is despicable and his methods are cruel, the Kang family, young and old, are innocent. I won't be able to rest easy if they are implicated in this matter." Mu Hanyan sighed and said with a compassionate look.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but think of the refugees stranded in the wilderness, and the pity in her eyes was particularly genuine.
"Yeah, Kang Qingyuan is dead anyway, so why should we implicate the entire Kang family? To be honest, the ancestor of the Kang family and I became priests of the temple at the same time, and we have some old friendship. I can't bear to see his descendants being implicated and exiled to the wilderness." Ye Yian also echoed.
"You are right. It was I who was inconsiderate. But you two are willing to let the Kang family go. Such a broad mind is really admirable." Seeing the pity in Mu Hanyan and Ye Yian's eyes, Sikong Qinglan was moved and said with admiration.
"Thank you for your kind words, Lord Sikong." Ye Yian waved his hand and put on his calm and detached look again.
Mu Hanyan suddenly thought that Ye Yian might have learned this charlatan temperament from the Holy Lord. If we talk about the temple priests, they should be more like charlatans, but they are far inferior to him.
"Let's bury him." Sikong Qinglan looked at Kang Qingyuan again and said.
"That's what should be done. After all, he's a temple priest and a descendant of an old friend. No matter how many things he did wrong, he shouldn't be left exposed in the wilderness." Ye Yian nodded. As long as Sikong Qinglan didn't worry about Mu Hanyan's strength, anything would be fine.
With Mu Tu there, it was of course not the turn of the few people to do such rough work. It didn't take long for him to dig a pit and throw Kang Qingyuan directly into it. He was not a priest, nor did he have a compassionate heart. If Sikong Qinglan hadn't spoken, Ye Yian would not have objected and would have thrown the body to feed the wild dogs.
"By the way, Lord Hanyan, your current strength is equivalent to that of a several-level divine priest. Even Kang Qingyuan is not your opponent." Mu Tu asked curiously while covering the soil.
Damn! Ye Yian slapped his forehead. How could he forget that this guy is a straightforward person who can't hide what he says.
In fact, Mu Tu didn't know Mu Hanyan's identity at first, and he had never thought about helping her hide anything. If he hadn't seen several high priests talking and it was not convenient to interrupt them, he would have asked long ago.
Mu Yian glared at Mu Tu fiercely, but unfortunately the latter looked at Mu Hanyan like a curious baby and didn't notice his angry expression at all.
"I'm not quite sure about this." Mu Hanyan also felt a headache and said vaguely.
"You don't even know it yourself? How is that possible? How come you don't even know it yourself?" Mu Tu looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise, quite determined to get to the bottom of it.
"Well, this..." Mu Hanyan was even more confused. She stammered and didn't know how to explain it, but she didn't want Sikong Qinglan to see any clues.
"Miss Mu hasn't been baptized by the temple yet, so naturally she doesn't know how much potential she has." Just when Mu Hanyan was secretly worried, Sikong Qinglan suddenly said, and seeing that Mu Tu still didn't understand, he explained in detail, "In fact, natural-born priests of the gods don't appear once every thousand years as ordinary people think. In fact, many of the twelve priests of the divine language in the temple are natural-born priests of the gods, but for ordinary people, the divine language priests are too far away, so they are usually unknown.
These divine priests not only possess astonishing aptitude, able to condense the power of laws without any training, but they also often possess astonishing innate divine powers, their power being beyond the imagination of ordinary people, or even priests."
"So that's how it is!" Mu Tu seemed to understand but not quite, with a look of amazement on his face.
Mu Hanyan was also a little surprised that Sikong Qinglan easily found the answer to the question that she had racked her brains to answer.
If she guessed correctly, the so-called natural-born divine priests were actually the descendants of the gods whose bloodlines had awakened on the Holy Court continent, and that powerful innate divine power was even the innate magical power of the Holy Court continent. After all, the two continents were of the same lineage, and what the Holy Court had, the Temple should also have, it was just a matter of slightly different terms.
"Miss Mu was born to be a priestess of the gods. She must have burst out with a powerful divine power that she herself didn't even know about in the crisis just now, which is why she killed Kang Qingyuan in one fell swoop. Besides, Miss Mu is very likely..." Sikong Qinglan concluded with a sentence, but halfway through, he thought of something and swallowed the rest of his words back.
"What is it likely to be?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
"No, nothing. Oh, by the way, I heard that the Kang family has produced priests for several generations, so the family should be well-off. How could they be interested in Ri Jianfeng?" Sikong Qinglan laughed and changed the subject.
Mu Hanyan's heart skipped a beat. Sikong's previous defense of Fengcheng Temple, and his subsequent life-threatening actions, seemed rather abrupt. She had always been suspicious, and now it seemed there must be some reason behind it. However, seeing that he was unwilling to talk more and clearly had no ill will towards her, she didn't ask any further questions.
"I was also a little confused before, and I even made a special trip to Rijian Peak to look for it several times, but I didn't find anything unusual." Ye Yian said in confusion.
With his experience and vision, he could see that Sikong Qinglan was a good person. In addition, his previous selfless protection made Ye Yian like him even more, so he did not hide it from him.
"Why don't we look for it again?" Mu Hanyan said to them with an idea.
She now knew that Kang Qingyuan's strength was far greater than it appeared, and perhaps there was an even more powerful mastermind behind him. Their determination to capture Rijian Peak must have hidden some incredible treasure or ancient relic. Whatever it was, it would be extremely beneficial to her cultivation.
What she needed most right now was strength, so she certainly couldn't miss this opportunity. She was also still feeling uneasy about Kang Qingyuan's final threat, fearing it would only lead to more trouble, and didn't want to delay any further.
