A moment later, two figures quickly flashed out of the door, then returned the same way and flew out of Long Wucuo's courtyard. From beginning to end, they did not attract anyone's attention. From this, it is not difficult to see how big a commotion Long Wudang caused by setting the fire.
After leaving Long Mansion, Mu Hanyan's mood finally calmed down. She was not as heartless as Ling Baobao. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous at all.
Worried that the Long family might have spies outside the mansion, Mu Hanyan didn't dare to run. Instead, she pretended to be calm and walked slowly towards the Gu family.
Mu Hanyan didn't feel completely relieved until she was far away from the Dragon Mansion. Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake hidden in the dark.
Concentrating her mind, Mu Hanyan repeatedly searched several times before she "saw" a dark figure following behind her. She hadn't let her guard down the entire way, but it wasn't until this moment, after repeated searches, that she discovered his presence. This showed that he was extremely well hidden, and his cultivation was not weak.
Could it be that they were finally discovered by the Long family? This is not good.
"Who is it?" Mu Hanyan's heart sank and she stopped.
"It's me." Gao Weihu showed up.
"Why are you here too?" Mu Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I came here to check on you in fear that something might happen to you. I can't help with other things, but I can still cover your retreat. But it's unnecessary for me to do so. You haven't left any trace behind." Gao Weihu said.
"Thank you very much." Although he guessed that Gao Weihu was not really afraid that anything would happen to him, but was just concerned about the five-colored soul beads on his body, he still deserved a thank you for the other person's hard work in making a trip in the middle of the night.
"By the way, what on earth did that guy burn that caused such a big commotion?" Mu Hanyan asked in a low voice. She had just checked with her divine sense several times to make sure there was no one else around.
"It seems to be the Long family ancestral hall. The Long family has been rooted in Tianyang City for over 100,000 years, and the ancestral hall also has a history of over 100,000 years. It is of great significance to the Long family." Gao Weihu replied, and then sighed, "This guy is really ruthless."
Mu Hanyan and Ling Baobao were speechless. This Long Wudang was indeed cruel enough to even dare to burn down his own ancestral hall!
However, they did not know that Long Wudang had no intention of setting fire to the ancestral hall. He was forced to do so by Mu Hanyan's "Ten Thousand Ants Gnawing Heart Pill".
A mere Calming Pill could scare Long Wudang like this. I can't imagine how big the shadow that Mu Hanyan left in Young Master Long's heart is.
"Let's go, I'll give you a ride." After leaving the inner city and making sure there was no more risk, Gao Weihu called for the carriage that had been prepared long ago and sent Mu Hanyan and the others back to the Gu family.
They didn't notice that in the darkness behind them, a stern-faced man stared at the background as they left for a long time, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Mo Jiu, go and check her background." The man waved his hand and said.
"Yes, sir." A young man covered in a cloak responded.
"Her spiritual power is very powerful, be careful not to expose it." The man reminded again.
"I understand." The young man bowed and retreated, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
…
Back at the Gu residence, everyone else had already fallen asleep, but Sikong Qinglan, Shen Yuhe, and the others remained in the courtyard, anxiously waiting. Although Mu Hanyan hadn't explicitly told them what she was going to do, they couldn't help but guess. They were naturally anxious, fearing that something might happen to Mu Hanyan.
"Sir!" When Mu Hanyan's figure appeared at the gate of the yard, several people stood up at the same time and almost cried with joy.
"Why don't you rest yet?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"How can we sleep if you haven't come back?" Sikong Qinglan said with a wry smile.
This High Priest is good in every way, except that he can be a bit too bold. But then again, this is also a form of courage. Without such courage, the Flower Rain Temple would have long been bullied by Long Wudang, Ou Mingzhi, and others, and even succumbed to their tyranny. How could the current situation be possible?
"Did you succeed?" Shen Yuhe was more resilient than Sikong Qinglan. Seeing Mu Hanyan and the others return safely, all her anxiety and worry disappeared, and she asked excitedly.
Mu Hanyan smiled slightly and nodded.
"I told you that the High Priest's actions would be infallible. See if I was right." Shen Yuhe laughed.
"Did you tell me why I saw your eyes turned red with anxiety?" Sikong Qinglan looked at Chen Yuhe with a puzzled look.
"Get lost!" Chen Yuhe's face flushed with shame after Sikong Qinglan revealed the secret.
Mu Hanyan looked at Sikong Qinglan, then at Chen Yuhe, and then at Wen Gaoren who had also been waiting until now, and a deep warmth surged in her heart.
"Come on, go into the house and let you see what I have gained tonight." Mu Hanyan said.
Sikong Qinglan and the others had long been curious about the legendary Chaos Sword, and immediately followed her into the inner room.
While the Chaos Sword's appearance wasn't anything unusual, with their cultivation, it wasn't difficult to sense the chaotic aura within it, capable of causing one's mind to lose itself, and they were all filled with wonder. While it wasn't convenient to test the sword's power, the rumor that a Spirit Priest could kill a Divine Heart Priest with this sword shouldn't be a lie.
"Hey, what is engraved here?" Sikong Qinglan stroked the sword enviously and suddenly said in surprise.
When a few people came over, they found that there were rows of extremely small words engraved on the sword. The words were engraved very shallowly. If Sikong Qinglan had not touched the sword with his hand, no one might have noticed it until now.
"The heart is the way of the spirit. When the qi controls the heart, it will cause all kinds of chaos. All appearances are false. The appearance without appearance is called the truth... What does this mean? It's so weird." Shen Yuhe focused her eyes and finally saw the rows of small characters clearly, but she didn't understand and said strangely.
"Could it be the secret book of divine arts? But it doesn't look like it. Could it be the sword-making secret of the senior priest?" Sikong Qinglan also said in confusion.
Mu Hanyan also felt that it was not quite like that. This mantra was completely different from the magic arts she had practiced. It was more likely to be the experience of sword-making.
"The heart is the way of the spirit. When the qi controls the heart, all kinds of chaos will occur..." Mu Hanyan read carefully word by word, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
Upon closer inspection, this formula unexpectedly shared some similarities with the formation formula in the "Eight Gates Divine Formation." Could it be that this Sword Forging Heart Formula also originated from the Eight Desolate Divine Fall?
The more Mu Hanyan thought about it, the more possible it seemed. She couldn't help but get excited again after finally calming down.
"Don't think about it for now. It's getting late. Let's go back and rest early." Mu Hanyan said.
"Master Chief Priest, please go to bed early." The excitement of Sikong Qinglan and the others had almost passed, and after saying goodbye, they went back to their rooms.
