"Yi Xingtian!" Mu Hanyan couldn't help but exclaimed.
At this moment, Yi Xingtian gave her a very strange feeling. She could clearly feel the breath of life flowing through her body, but at the same time, she felt a sense of nothingness, as if Yi Xingtian in front of her did not actually exist, but was just a phantom. This feeling was so bizarre and so strange.
Mu Hanyan had a hunch that the abnormality on Yi Xingtian's body was probably related to the previous sword.
Yi Xingtian did not respond to Mu Hanyan, but flew away at an even faster speed.
"Xingtian!" Zhan Yuan certainly noticed the abnormality of Yi Xingtian, but his face showed not only surprise and confusion, but also more worry, and his previous anger disappeared completely.
With a loud shout, Zhan Yuan chased after Yi Xingtian, completely forgetting Mu Hanyan and not even looking at him again.
The young man who followed him glanced at Mu Hanyan, hesitated for a moment, and then ran after Zhan Yuan.
In a moment, the three figures disappeared in the vast wasteland.
Zhan Yuan has left, and tens of thousands of people and temple priests in Huayu City have finally escaped the disaster, but Mu Hanyan still feels a little heavy.
Although she knew very little about herself before the eight reincarnations, not even her name, and it was difficult for her to regard her current self as herself, this did not mean that she could be indifferent to the murderous hatred. If given the chance, she would definitely avenge her past self.
Although she hadn't known Zhan Yuan before, she could imagine his considerable power and status within the Divine Martial Realm; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his men to the Sacred Continent to pursue him. Mu Hanyan knew that without sufficient strength, revenge was a pipe dream, so she hadn't considered it much.
Who knew he'd actually come to the Sacred Continent and appear before her? From her perspective, it was clear Zhan Yuan was ruthless, relentless, and relentless. She was certain he wouldn't stop, and she was afraid he'd reappear before she could even initiate revenge.
If Yi Xingtian hadn't intervened in this fight, the best outcome would have been a mutual destruction. This was because the mysterious power suddenly appeared within Zhan Yuan, catching him off guard. When Zhan Yuan appeared again, he would undoubtedly be prepared, and even the chance of a mutual destruction might not have existed.
Thunderous cheers rang out all around, bringing Mu Hanyan's mind back to reality.
Looking at the faces of those who had survived the disaster and were crying with joy, Mu Hanyan felt relieved. No matter what, the lives of tens of thousands of people in Huayu City had been saved. As for what would happen next, there was no point in thinking or worrying about it anymore.
Strength, after all, she still needs stronger strength!
Zhan Yuan wasn't as powerful as she'd initially imagined. In the Continent of Gods, he was still subject to numerous restrictions, unable to regain his former strength. With enough effort and the strength to defeat him, crushing him underfoot wouldn't be impossible. Mu Hanyan clenched her fists, her gaze growing more determined.
"We swear with blood. From now on, we will defend your honor with our blood and our lives. No matter who wants to hurt you, they will have to walk over our corpses!" The passionate oath sounded again, and tens of thousands of people fell to the ground, looking at Mu Hanyan, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
Whether facing Mo Jiu or Zhan Yuan, Mu Hanyan never retreated, defending Huayu City and her people with her blood and her life. Especially during the battle with Zhan Yuan, when she had the opportunity to escape, she chose to perish alongside the enemy rather than abandon the city's priests and civilians. How could they not be moved by her?
How lucky they are to be the citizens of Huayu City and to have such a chief priest.
Behind him, Gu Qingyang was moved to tears by the scene before him. If he had previously felt somewhat apprehensive about relocating his entire clan to Huayu City, now, he was completely relieved. Serving such a high priest, what else did the Gu family have to worry about? Huayu City would surely become the site of their family's revival. He had every confidence that, along with Huayu City and the Huayu Temple, a powerful clan would rise together in this vast wasteland.
Looking at those sincere eyes filled with tears, Mu Hanyan was moved and her eyes became a little moist. For these simple people, all her efforts and all the crises she had experienced were worth it.
Mu Hanyan waved her hand, but her body suddenly shook and she almost fell to the ground.
"Master Priest!" Shen Yuhe and others quickly stepped forward to help her up, looking at her with concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, just a little weak." Mu Hanyan forced a smile and said comfortingly.
All of her meridians were now ruptured, cracks appeared in her Qi Sea, and that trace of mysterious power had also flowed out of her body with the final sword strike, leaving her completely unable to muster any strength. Fortunately, the foundation of her cultivation was in her heart meridian. As long as the heart meridian was not severely damaged, it would generally not have any adverse effects on her cultivation. However, with such an injury, it would probably take three to five months for her to recover.
"Master Priest, it's all my fault. I failed to defend Huayu City." An Xiaxin had regained some strength at this time, came to her side, and said with shame and self-blame.
"I can't blame you, you've done a great job." Mu Hanyan said comfortingly.
With the current strength of Huayu City, it is actually not easy to hold out for such a long time against the bandits led by Mo Jiu. An Xiaxin has already made all the efforts, so how could Mu Hanyan blame her?
"By the way, what are the casualties in the city?" Mu Hanyan's voice became a little low when she said this.
"There are 2,347 serious injuries, nearly 10,000 minor injuries, and no one died." Yan Qingshan replied as he stepped forward.
"No one died?" Mu Hanyan looked at him in surprise.
It was completely beyond her expectation that no one was killed in such a big battle.
"Indeed, no one was killed in the battle. This is all thanks to the Left Priest who ordered the construction of the inner city in advance and fully activated the protective formation, as well as the powerful combat power of the Mu family. If it weren't for them, we guards and the people in the city would not be able to defend the inner city even with the protective formation." Yan Qingshan said excitedly.
Mu Hanyan suddenly realized that, as the saying goes, one man can hold the pass against ten thousand. With the inner city protected by the defensive formation as a support, the Mu family's powerful strength and outstanding fighting skills are just like fish in water. One man can hold the pass against ten thousand, but at least they can easily fight off a hundred.
When she invited the Mu family to Huayu City, she actually had the intention of repaying a favor, but she did not expect that they would become the backbone of protecting Huayu City. This is what she meant by "you reap what you sow."
"How is Lord Mu Yian?" Mu Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that no civilians in the city were killed. She immediately asked about Ye Yian's situation.
