"Chief Priest Mu, knowing that Zhao Xinghong has bad intentions, you agree to this, isn't that playing into his hands?" Chu Yanghe said anxiously as soon as Zhao Yide left.
The other chief priests also looked worried. They had just signed a contract with Mu Hanyan and naturally did not want anything to happen to her.
"There is no need to say more, my lords. It's just a trial. With my strength, it won't be that easy for Zhao Xinghong to deal with me." Mu Hanyan was full of pride and her face was filled with strong confidence.
Zhao Xinghong's two-pronged approach can be said to have pushed her into a desperate situation.
The situation in Huayu City is very good now. If the chief priest is replaced at this time, all previous efforts may be wasted. Although Mu Hanyan is not greedy for power, she is absolutely unwilling to give up the position of chief priest for the sake of the priests and people who trust her, admire her, and place all their hopes on her.
Zhuge Qiu had originally meant well, but was implicated by her and ended up in prison, so she couldn't just ignore it.
However, Zhao Xinghong's relentless pressure also aroused Mu Hanyan's inherent arrogance.
She is a powerful seventh-level Divine Heart Priest. If combined with her sword skills, she can at least unleash a powerful combat power equivalent to that of a tenth-level Divine Heart Priest. How could it be so easy for Zhao Xinghong to kill her?
Zhao Xinghong probably considered her strength to be no more than that of a third or fourth-rank Divine Heart Priest. If his methods were limited to this, it would be fine. However, if he dared to play any more tricks, Mu Hanyan could give him a huge surprise.
Moreover, Mu Hanyan thought about it carefully and felt that participating in the hunting trial was not entirely without disadvantages.
Her strength once again stagnated at a bottleneck. Without a major adventure, it would be extremely difficult to improve further. This hunting trial was said to be full of crises, but for her, the greater the crisis, the greater the opportunity.
Anyway, there aren't many things in the Huayu Temple that she needs to handle personally, and she has almost mastered all the strange and unusual techniques such as alchemy, formations, and sealing. It would definitely not be a bad idea to take this opportunity to travel around.
Feeling Mu Hanyan's arrogance and conceit, Chu Yanghe and others were startled and suddenly remembered the sacrificial ceremony in Tianyang City.
Originally, Long Aoli and Ou Dechuan were determined to teach Mu Hanyan a lesson, and Long Wucuo even wanted to kill her. They were also bewitched by him and became enemies of Mu Hanyan.
In that situation, everyone thought that Mu Hanyan had absolutely no chance of turning things around and would only be trampled to death by Long Aoli and others. The best outcome would be to leave Tianyang City sadly with endless humiliation.
But who could have imagined that the final result was that Mu Hanyan won a great victory, Long Aoli and his son were defeated and lost face, and Ou Dechuan didn't even have the courage to fight Mu Hanyan.
Zhao Xinghong now probably has the same idea as Long Aoli, Ou Dechuan and others did back then, but who can say that a miracle will not happen to Mu Hanyan again?
Perhaps, today's action will become the biggest failure of Zhao Xinghong's life! Chu Yanghe and others couldn't help but think the same thing.
"In that case, I won't say anything more. Fengcheng Temple will also have to select personnel for this hunting trial. I will choose my trusted people to fully assist the high priest." Chu Yanghe said.
At this point, it is impossible to stop Mu Hanyan, and he can only use this method to express his support for Mu Hanyan.
"We will also send our trusted people to fully assist the High Priest." Other high priests also expressed their opinions.
Although the priests they sent out were not that strong, and if Zhao Xinghong had a backup plan, these people might not be of much use, but more helpers are always a good thing.
As soon as he finished speaking, a jade talisman on Chu Yanghe's body suddenly flashed with brilliant light. It was the communication talisman specially made by the temple. Chu Yanghe picked up the communication talisman and took a look at it, and his face changed.
The communication symbols on the bodies of other high priests also flashed one by one. After looking at the news from their respective temples, their faces darkened.
"This Zhao Xinghong is really going too far!" Chu Yanghe said angrily, crushing the communication talisman to pieces. Nearby, Fan Chengli, Ma Jingtian, and others also had angry expressions after reading the communication talisman.
"Chief Priest Chu, what happened?" Wen Gaoren asked curiously.
"I just received news that the Temple of Life has sent an order, specifically asking Chen Jiuyang, Zhou Kaijian, and others to participate in this hunting trial. The Chen and Zhou families are both long-standing priest families in Tianfeng City. They have always been at odds with me and have always been lip-service to my orders.
Zhao Xinghong directly selected the Chen and Zhou priests to participate in the hunting trial. He probably secretly promised some benefits to prevent my people from joining forces with Chief Priest Mu. "Chu Yanghe said in a deep voice.
After all, he had been the chief priest for so many years, and it was not completely innocent. It was not difficult for him to guess the intention behind the order from the Temple of Life.
"It's the same with my Qingning Temple. They actually directly selected priests from the Fei and Qin families to participate in the trial. I have never been able to order people from those two families around, and they will definitely not listen to my orders this time." Fan Chengli said angrily.
The other high priests also had indignation on their faces. Needless to say, their respective temples had also received similar orders, and it was unlikely that they would be able to send their trusted subordinates to assist Mu Hanyan.
"Master Mu, I'm afraid we can't be of any help this time." Chu Yanghe said with a look of shame.
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter. You don't have to take it to heart." Mu Hanyan said indifferently.
In the past, Chu Yang and his subordinates might have been able to help, but now, Mu Hanyan really didn't take their strength seriously. If they really encountered danger, she would have to distract herself to take care of them, which would be a burden and not be the best.
Of course, Miss Mu would not say such words openly, as it would be too hurtful.
"My lords, what we discussed earlier has been decided. When I'm not here, Lord An and Lord Sikong will be responsible for the matters stipulated in the contract. If you have any questions, just discuss them directly with them." Mu Hanyan absolutely did not want the hunting trial to affect the cooperation between Huayu Temple and other temples, and said to Chu Yanghe and others.
"Master Mu doesn't need to worry about these trivial matters. Just focus on dealing with the hunting trial." Chu Yanghe and others said hurriedly.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan was still concerned about the contract at this time and did not take the hunting trial seriously at all, everyone's confidence in her increased a little more.
A long roar suddenly sounded, and at the same time, a majestic spiritual power fluctuation appeared in the temple.
"Someone advanced!" Chu Yanghe and others were shocked.
With their divine consciousness, it was not difficult to detect that this was the spiritual power fluctuation that only those who had been promoted to the Divine Heart Priest would have, and the Divine Heart Priest was exactly the realm they had always dreamed of.
Mu Hanyan's face showed surprise, and then she quickly walked towards the secret training room.
