Mu Hanyan was surrounded by only two people, and neither of them was weak, so it was much easier for her. As she ran, she felt the unique laws of the world in the Black Wood Prison, and suddenly she had an epiphany.
It turned out that her priestly skills had also been greatly suppressed. If she cast a divine spell now, she would probably only have the combat power of a third-rank Divine Heart Priest at most. However, her sword skills had returned again. Although it had not yet reached its peak state, she had the strength of a sixth-rank swordsman.
The ancient tree of life that had withered and was almost on the verge of death actually regained some vitality. It was equivalent to the fusion of the energy of a sixth-level swordsman and the spiritual power of a third-level divine heart priest. It was even more perfectly coordinated, so much so that when she first arrived at the Black Wood Priest, she herself did not notice the difference.
Mu Hanyan never dreamed that the laws of the Black Wood Prison would be so wonderful. Feeling the familiar energy surging through her meridians again, Mu Hanyan felt ecstatic.
Although the cultivation level of a sixth-level swordsman seems to be slightly inferior to that of a seventh-level divine heart priest, she has practiced swordsmanship for several decades in her two lives. How can she be compared with the divine arts of a priest who has only practiced for a little over a year?
What's more, under the unique laws of the Black Wood Prison, the energy and spiritual power gathered through the ancient tree of life are more perfectly integrated. Even if the divine art cultivation is suppressed to the level of a third-level divine heart priest, the power of the two combined is far greater than before.
Behind her, more than a dozen strange beasts were still chasing her relentlessly. The one in the lead revealed a powerful aura that was no weaker than the Earth-Armored Dragon Rhinoceros, but Mu Hanyan's expression became extremely relaxed. If she hadn't been worried about being too shocking and attracting other people's attention, with her current combat power, it would have been no difficulty for her to kill this strange beast.
Her mood gradually returned to calm from joy, and Mu Hanyan secretly sighed that the world is so big that there are indeed all kinds of wonders.
Similarly, at the border of the continent, two different laws of heaven and earth coexisted. The North Abyss Mist Plain was in chaos, but it had no effect on the swordsmen's cultivation. On the other hand, the Black Wood Prison, while seemingly peaceful, had a significant impact on the priests' cultivation, but the impact on their Qi was much smaller.
"Be careful!" Mu Hanyan was sighing inwardly when she suddenly heard Gao Weihu exclaim.
Mu Hanyan subconsciously stopped and grabbed Su Baoer who was still running desperately.
In front, more than ten priests stopped in panic, turned around, their faces pale.
After a closer look, they discovered that behind them, that is, in front of Mu Hanyan and others, there was a deep abyss canyon that was hundreds of feet wide and stretched for who knows how many miles.
Because the terrain is flat, the abyss canyon is not very obvious from a distance. If Gao Weihu had not seen the priests suddenly stop, he probably would not have discovered it.
Behind him, the dozen or so strange beasts were getting closer and closer.
"This is trouble. Let's go and meet up with them first." Gao Weihu looked back, quickly made up his mind, and ran forward again.
Su Baoer hesitated for a moment and followed closely behind.
Although there was a dead end ahead, they had no better place to go. They joined forces with the group of priests, which would at least give them more strength.
In fact, Mu Hanyan could easily deal with the group of strange beasts behind her, but after looking at the more than ten priests not far away, she gave up the idea.
The priests who came to the Blackwood Prison to participate in the hunting trial this time, except for a few from the lower temples, most of them were from the five upper temples. Perhaps their strength might not be comparable to hers, but there were many who had extraordinary vision and insight. What if someone found out?
Of course, she could kill people to silence them, but she was absolutely unwilling to kill innocent people just to keep a secret; this was her bottom line. So if she could avoid taking action, Mu Hanyan would do her best not to.
Soon, the three of them came to the group of priests.
"It's you!" Mu Hanyan was far away before and didn't see clearly who this group of people were. Now she saw clearly that it was Zhao Zhiyuan, Ou Mingzhi and Fei Changle, and Zhao Xinghu was among them.
"It's you!" As the saying goes, enemies are particularly jealous when they meet. Seeing Mu Hanyan and her group, Zhao Xinghu and others also widened their eyes and almost subconsciously clenched their swords.
Although Guan Xiujin had gently warned them earlier to prioritize the greater good of the Temple of Life and not to embarrass Mu Hanyan, everyone knew the feud between the Zhao and Ou families, and Mu Hanyan, was irreconcilable. The outcome would be a life-or-death struggle. Given Mu Hanyan's age and talent, her future achievements were limitless. If they didn't eliminate her soon, their families would be doomed, and Fei Changle and the others would naturally face the same fate.
Knowing that Mu Hanyan was quite powerful, they originally did not dare to act rashly. However, now everyone's strength has been greatly suppressed, and the gap has naturally narrowed significantly. They are also numerous and powerful, so this is the best opportunity to get rid of Mu Hanyan.
Of course, this is just their own guess. If they knew the secret of Mu Hanyan, they would never dare to have such an idea even if they were beaten to death.
Noticing the unfriendly expressions of Zhao Xinghu and others, Gao Weihu's face darkened and he gripped the giant hammer again. Su Baoer also drew out her sword.
At that moment, beastly roars echoed, dust billowing behind them. About thirty or forty exotic beasts huddled together, madly chasing the priests ahead. A dozen of them had originally been following Mu Hanyan and the others, while the remaining twenty or so had been chasing Zhao Xinghu and the others. Now, they joined together, like a flood bursting through a dam.
"Stop! What are you trying to do? What are you trying to do?" Zhao Xinghu suddenly put away his sword and sternly lectured Zhao Zhiyuan and the others. "Now facing the alien beasts, as fellow priests of the Temple of Life, we should be working together to resist this enemy. You're still holding on to those petty grudges from the past and want to kill each other. As priests of the temple, don't you even have this much magnanimity?"
Seeing the old man's righteous words, Mu Hanyan nearly vomited in disgust. If memory served, this old man was the first to wield the sword. If the strange beasts hadn't appeared in time, he would have been the first to attack. He actually had the nerve to say such things. Does he have any sense of shame at all?
"Chief Priest Mu, it was indeed me, Zhao Xinghu, who was wrong before. I apologize to you. I hope that you will be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against me. Now that we are facing the strange beasts, I hope that you will join hands with us to fight the enemy. After we leave the Black Wood Prison, I will go to Huayu City in person to apologize to you and Miss Ruan." After scolding Zhao Zhiyuan and others, Zhao Xinghu bowed again and said to Mu Hanyan with an extremely sincere expression.
