"Weihu, these are for you. I plan to keep the rest for the temple. What do you think?" After counting the five-colored soul beads, Mu Hanyan gave a part to Gao Weihu and asked.
Although the five-colored soul beads are very beneficial for cultivation, the refining speed is extremely slow, so she cannot use too many. The few thousand left on her are enough. Gao Weihu is in the same situation, so she plans to leave the extra ones to the Huayu Temple.
After serving as the head priest for a long time, she began to feel at home in the Flower Rain Temple. Every priest there was like family, and she naturally didn't want to treat them unfairly. Moreover, as her strength grew, she would eventually have to leave, and she didn't want the Flower Rain Temple to decline again after she left.
However, these five-colored soul beads were obtained by extortion using Gao Weihu's name, so we still have to respect his opinion.
"I have enough on me. You can arrange it as you see fit, Master Priest." Gao Weihu already had quite a few colorful soul beads on him. In addition, since he followed Mu Hanyan, he had also become a member of the Huayu Temple. Naturally, he would not be petty.
"Okay then. Hey, why do you look so bad? Are you really injured?" Mu Hanyan didn't bother to be polite with him. She put away the five-colored soul beads and suddenly noticed that Gao Weihu's face turned pale. She said with confusion and worry.
"Baoer, why do you look so pale?" After saying that, she was surprised to find that Su Baoer's face was just as pale.
"It's nothing, I just, wow..." Before he could finish his words, Gao Weihu quickly ran to the bushes not far away, bent down and vomited violently.
"Wow..." Su Baoer also ran over and started vomiting.
While vomiting, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
It was so disgusting. The high priest's groundless flattery was really disgusting. Others might be able to listen to it, but Gao Weihu himself was really disgusting. He didn't even know that the girl fell in love with Mr. Gao at first sight and would never marry for him. Looking at his own fat body, Gao Weihu just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and jump in.
"Are my words so disgusting?" Looking at the two people vomiting non-stop from a distance, Mu Hanyan guessed something and turned to ask Jiang Qiling.
"I think it's okay." Jiang Qiling said.
"That's good." Mu Hanyan felt relieved.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qiling suddenly turned around, ran a few steps, squatted on the ground and vomited violently.
"Roar..." A sad beast roar sounded in my ears.
The roar came from a very far distance, and no one else noticed it. However, Mu Hanyan's spiritual power was powerful, and her hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, so she could still hear it clearly. It was clearly the roar of the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast.
Taotie's expression changed slightly, obviously he had also heard its roar.
"Let's go and take a look." Mu Hanyan didn't have time to pay attention to Gao Weihu and the others, so she said to Taotie.
She was also planning to inquire about Xiao Shentian's news from the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, but after hearing its unusually sad roar, she was worried that it might have had an accident.
Taotie nodded and rushed out first.
"I have something to do, please wait for me for a moment." Mu Hanyan greeted Gao Weihu and others, and followed Taotie.
As he sped along, the roar of the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast became increasingly sad and weak.
Taotie turned his head to look at Mu Hanyan, and once again endured the pain of his twisted and dislocated bones and transformed back into his original form. Then he carried Mu Hanyan on his back and ran away at a faster speed.
After trekking through mountains and rivers, half an hour later, the two men saw the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast again. It was curled up in a valley, trembling all over, with pain on its face. Its eyes, which were originally full of ferociousness, became empty and helpless, without any light in them, and even seemed to be on the verge of death.
"What's wrong with him?" Mu Hanyan was shocked and asked in confusion.
Although the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast had just been struck by the Death Temple's secret sword formation, its demigod form meant the injury wouldn't be fatal. In fact, the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast didn't show any signs of serious injury, but Mu Hanyan could clearly sense that its vitality had become extremely weak.
"It seems something is wrong." Although Taotie has returned to its beast form, his eyes are still unusually solemn.
After circling the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast several times, he suddenly roared to the heavens. Rays of blood-red light rose from his body and then poured into the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast's body. A moment later, a ray of divine light returned to the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast's eyes, while Taotie became listless and slumped to the ground.
Obviously, he was sacrificing his own vitality to forcibly save the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast. This method was somewhat similar to the priest's magic such as the Hymn of Life, but it was far less exquisite and mysterious than the Hymn of Life. It was extremely detrimental to himself. If it were not for the abnormally strong vitality of his divine beast's body, he would probably have died before saving the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast.
The Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, which had barely recovered, lay on the ground, gasping for breath, letting out a low beast roar, and its eyes were filled with grief and anger.
"It said that it was enslaved by successive generations of the Liu family who forced it to refine its bloodline and soul using the Nether Fire Soul-Forging Technique. Although it has now regained its sanity under the might of my divine beast and is no longer controlled by Liu Qianyuan, without the Liu family's contract to maintain it, its soul will gradually disappear and it will eventually die." Taotie said with a look of grief and indignation on his face.
In reality, Mu Hanyan understood the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast's words without him having to tell her. Back in the Holy Court Continent, with the awakening of the Aolai Divine Beast's memories, she had been able to understand beast language. It was just that there were so many different beast species, and the beast languages of different races varied so much that it was a bit difficult to understand.
"How can we save it?" Mu Hanyan looked at the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast with sympathy and asked.
As the name suggests, the Hellfire Soul Forging technique involves using secret divine techniques to condense the Nine Netherworld Fire and forcibly refine the soul, rendering a life worse than death. Records indicate that this was a torture technique used in ancient times to punish criminals. Due to its brutality, it was ranked as the most cruel punishment in the Divine Continent. However, due to its perceived harm to the harmony of nature, it was banned and eventually lost.
Of course, the so-called lost arts only apply to ordinary people. As far as Mu Hanyan knows, many of the so-called lost divine arts are actually mastered by a priest family with a deep background in a certain temple, but they are kept secret for various reasons.
Records indicate that even some of the most ruthless yet resolute warriors in history could not withstand the torturous torture of the Netherfire Soul Forging technique. They agonized, seeking death, but their spirits were restrained, preventing them from dying. They could only endure the endless agony until their minds and souls became disorganized and their bodies finally shattered. To enslave and tame the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, generations of the Liu clan repeatedly practiced the Netherfire Soul Forging technique. It's easy to imagine the torment and pain it endured, and it's no wonder it harbored such deep hatred for Liu Qianyuan.
