"Bao'er, don't come with me anymore. I think there should be other teleportation arrays in the Temple of Light that can take us back. You should take another route." Mu Hanyan said to Su Bao'er.
She was only thinking about the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death now, and didn't want to rush into trouble with the Zhao family. However, if Zhao Xinghong insisted on killing her, she would not be polite.
However, the other party came prepared, and she didn't want to implicate Su Baoer and others.
"No." Su Baoer said firmly.
The Temple of Light did have other teleportation formations to go back, but because the journey was a bit far and she didn't want to be separated from Gao Weihu and Mu Hanyan so early, she followed them.
Now that she knew Mu Hanyan might be in danger, it was even more impossible for her to stay out of it.
"Master Mu has saved our lives. How can we leave at this time?" Yuan Xiangzhi said firmly.
Looking at his determined expression, Zheng Anze said nothing more, with a look of relief in his eyes.
The young priests of the Temple of Light looked at Mu Hanyan, and they had the same absolute and regretless attitude as Yuan Xiangzhi.
"Bao'er, don't be willful. With my strength, even if Zhao Xinghong takes action personally, he can't embarrass me. You can't really help me." Seeing the resolute and unrepentant expressions on the faces of Su Bao'er and the priests of the Temple of Light, Mu Hanyan couldn't help but be moved, but still said decisively.
In the Black Wood Prison, although her priest cultivation was affected, her swordsmanship cultivation recovered significantly. Coupled with the further advancement of the Tianxin technique, she could already use the three laws of light, ice, and earth at will. Even when facing a soul priest, she had the confidence to fight head-on.
Zhao Xinghong's strength is at most at the peak of the Divine Heart Priest, not even at the Divine Soul Priest. After coming to the Black Wood Priest, his strength will be somewhat discounted. How could he be her opponent?
It would be fine if he didn't cause trouble, but since he came to her, Mu Hanyan could take this opportunity to eliminate the trouble forever!
Although Su Baoer and the others had good intentions, their strength was still a little lacking, and Mu Hanyan really didn't want them to take risks.
Su Baoer and the others were silent. They also knew that if they followed Mu Hanyan, not only would they not be of any help, but they would probably distract her and become a burden to her.
"Maybe, with us here, Zhao Xinghong won't dare to take action?" Su Baoer said hesitantly.
"After all, I am the chief priest of a hall. They don't dare to attack me openly and will definitely hide their identities. It will be the same whether you are here or not." Mu Hanyan shook her head and said.
She had already considered this. Even if Zhao Xinghong hated her, he wouldn't dare to act openly and would definitely conceal his identity. After all, during every hunting trial, young priests from each hall would fight over the Five-Colored Soul Orb. Even if she died in the Blackwood Prison, it would simply be dismissed as an accident.
Su Baoer and the others following him only made Zhao Xinghong more cautious, making him more careful when taking action, but it was unlikely to change his mind. After all, the hunting trials in the Blackwood Prison were a golden opportunity for him to eliminate him. If a fight really came to a head, the old man might get carried away and even kill Su Baoer and the others to silence them. In the chaos of the battle, she was not sure she could protect so many people.
Of course, for Mu Hanyan, this is also the best opportunity to completely end it once and for all. She doesn't want Su Baoer and others to do anything bad.
"Okay, then let's change our route." After hearing Mu Hanyan say this, Su Baoer couldn't insist any longer and said with a bit of apology and reluctance.
Zheng Anze, Yuan Xiangzhi and others also showed expressions of shame and guilt. If Mu Hanyan had not rescued them, they would never have survived until now. But now Mu Hanyan is facing a crisis and they can't help at all. How could they not feel guilty about it?
"I say, Master Priest, you don't want to fight to the death with Zhao Xinghong, do you?" Long Wudang swallowed hard and asked stupidly.
Although Mu Hanyan had displayed astonishing strength during her earlier clash with Zuo Qiuhan, Zhao Xinghong wasn't alone; he was accompanied by hundreds of priests. Putting aside the motley crew from the lower temples, he had brought dozens of trusted aides from the Temple of Life. The weakest of these individuals had reached the rank of Fifth-Order Divine Heart Priest, while the strongest, Zhao Xinghong himself, was undoubtedly a Tenth-Order Divine Heart Priest, and the several close-guard priests around him were not far behind.
Two fists are no match for four hands. No matter how strong Mu Hanyan is, she can't withstand their joint siege.
He had originally thought Mu Hanyan would retreat upon receiving the news, but he hadn't expected her to actually fight Zhao Xinghong to the death. This time, he finally witnessed the Head Priest's determination and courage. Unconsciously, Long Wudang's admiration for Mu Hanyan deepened. Thinking about how he had challenged the Flower Rain Temple twice before and still managed to survive, even he felt fortunate.
"Isn't it possible?" Mu Hanyan said with a confident smile.
"But apart from Zhao Xinghong himself, the strength of the priest guards around him is also very strong. Are you really sure?" While secretly admiring Mu Hanyan, Long Wudang couldn't help but remind her.
Mu Hanyan smiled slightly. She would certainly not ignore those people, but since she dared to face Zhao Xinghong head-on, she must have her reasons and she was confident enough.
Although Mu Hanyan did not explain anything, Long Wudang clearly saw strong self-confidence in her faint smile, as well as contempt for Zhao Xinghong and several guards and priests, and even a kind of arrogance that looked down on all living beings from above the nine heavens.
"Weihu, Qiling, what about you? Are you going to follow me or go with Baoer and the others?" Mu Hanyan asked Gao Weihu and Jiang Qiling again.
For ordinary priests, traveling from one Upper God Temple to another was no easy task. However, with Gao Weihu's status and connections to the Su family, traveling back and forth wasn't difficult. Mu Hanyan wouldn't have any objections if they didn't want to take the risk with her.
"Weihu swears to follow you until death." Gao Weihu unfurled his giant axe and said firmly.
"Qiling swears to follow you until death." Jiang Qiling also said, gripping the hilt of the sword tightly, with the same unwavering expression.
Mu Hanyan's expectations did not surprise the two of them. Since there was not much risk, she did not object.
"What about you?" Mu Hanyan asked Long Wudang.
Looking at the confidence and composure on Mu Hanyan's face, the arrogant and domineering attitude that seemed to be looking down on all living beings from above the sky, and then seeing the determination and perseverance of Gao Weihu and Jiang Qiling, Long Wudang didn't know why, but he felt his blood boiling.
