"Storage magic weapon, you must have other storage magic weapons on you. If you hand them over now, I can plead for you and let you off the hook. If you dare to hide them again, no one will be able to save you." Kong Renhe said threateningly.
Although he did not find any clues in the storage bracelet, he believed in his judgment that those colorful soul beads must be on Mu Hanyan!
"How do you know I have other storage magic tools on me?" Mu Hanyan looked at Kong Renhe in surprise.
"Hahahaha, let me guess it." Kong Renhe laughed.
Seeing how Mu Hanyan had dealt with Liu Qianyuan earlier, he had thought he was a powerful figure. He'd been making such a fuss for so long, and that he'd just been bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and that he'd been intimidated into spilling everything. Of course, this was also due to his own status. After all, he was a dignified prayer priest of the Temple of Life, and he couldn't compare to someone like Liu Qianyuan, a second-generation heir who relied on his family background to act arrogantly.
Thinking of this, Kong Renhe couldn't help but feel both proud and pleased.
"Sorry, you guessed wrong. I don't have any other storage magic tools on me. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Just when Kong Renhe was secretly proud of himself, Mu Hanyan suddenly rolled her eyes, looked at Kong Renhe as if he was a fool, turned around and walked out.
"You, you're kidding me!" Kong Renhe's smile froze, and he shouted angrily, "Stop her, stop her right now!"
Immediately, several law enforcement priests stood in front of Mu Hanyan.
"Priest Kong, what exactly do you want?" Mu Hanyan said impatiently.
"You must have other storage magic tools on you. Hand them over. Otherwise, you are openly disobeying the orders of the High Priest. I have the right to kill you on the spot!" Kong Renhe said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the law enforcement priest drew his sword, and his trusted men were also on high alert.
There was a dead silence in the valley, and everyone looked at this scene in surprise.
If it wasn't too obvious that Kong Renhe was targeting Mu Hanyan before, then by now, anyone who wasn't a fool would know that Kong Renhe was coming for Mu Hanyan. Otherwise, the people before him would have just checked and let them go if there was no problem. Why did he have to hold on to Mu Hanyan?
"What's going on, Lord Kong? Why does he have to pick on Chief Priest Mu?" a priest asked in confusion.
"You should know about the incident a few days ago when the right priest made things difficult for the chief priest Mu, right? I heard that Lord Kong and Lord Zhao are good friends for many years." A well-informed priest said mysteriously.
"No wonder, it turns out he is helping Lord Zhao." The others suddenly understood.
Zhao Xinghong disregarded his status and used some underhanded tricks to make things difficult for Mu Hanyan, but was instead humiliated by her. This matter had already spread, but most people were not very clear about the friendship between Zhao Xinghong and Kong Renhe.
"Two high priests actually teamed up to bully a lower-level temple chief priest. This is shameless."
"That's right, they don't even look at their own identities, aren't they afraid of losing face?" Everyone was talking, looking at Kong Renhe with contempt.
Although the voices were not loud, it was impossible for Kong Renhe not to hear them with his strength. Feeling those contemptuous looks, he was so angry that his face turned red and white. However, he couldn't explain it, so he could only vent all his anger on Mu Hanyan.
"Master Priest Mu, do you want me to invite you back, or do you want to come back on your own?" Kong Renhe stared at Mu Hanyan fiercely.
"Okay, okay, can't I come back by myself?" Mu Hanyan pretended to be aggrieved and walked back.
Seeing Mu Hanyan's pitiful appearance, everyone felt even more sympathetic.
"Lord Kong, you are one of the three most powerful men in my Temple of Life. It is a bit unreasonable to embarrass a little girl like this." A priest couldn't help but speak up for Mu Hanyan.
"Yeah, since no problems were found, we should let them go. What's the point of holding on to them?" Others also said.
"Even if she offended Lord Zhao, that is the Zhao family's business. What does it have to do with you? Do you think others are easy to bully?" Someone said it more bluntly.
Even in the upper temple, it is not a monolithic entity. There are open and covert struggles among the major priest families. Not everyone is afraid of Kong Renhe. Some even hope that he will make mistakes.
"Shut up, everyone. I'm following the orders of the High Priest. If you're dissatisfied, feel free to report it to the High Priest." Hearing the condemnation from all around, Kong Renhe became even more furious and simply brought up Guan Xiujing's name.
After hearing what he said, the people around him quieted down again, but they despised Kong Renhe even more. After all, he had lived to such an old age. If he wanted to help the Zhao family, he should have found a way himself. He always used the title of the chief priest to bully others. What was the difference between him and those second-generation rich kids who took advantage of their power to bully others?
"Mu Hanyan, are you going to hand it over or not?" Kong Renhe said with a murderous look on his face.
"I've already said that I don't have any other storage magic tools. You insist on asking me to hand them over. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?" Mu Hanyan said helplessly.
"Okay, okay, you don't want to hand it over, right? Search, search for me!" Kong Renhe roared.
Upon hearing the order, several law enforcement priests subconsciously took a few steps forward, but immediately stopped. They looked at each other, and no one took any action.
"What? Do you want to disobey orders?" Kong Renhe glared at them and asked.
"Sir, there are differences between men and women. This is not a good idea." A law enforcement priest said with a bitter face.
Although the customs of the people in the Holy Continent are relatively open, it is unacceptable for several adults to search a woman's body, not to mention that she is the chief priest of a temple.
"Sir Kong, even if you want to make things difficult for Chief Priest Mu, such means are too despicable, aren't they? I wonder if there are any female relatives in Sir Kong's family who will also come to participate in this hunting trial. If they also need to be searched, I can do it for them." Someone in the crowd said sarcastically.
"I do."
"I do."
"And me." The others also joined in the fun.
Even if there was an order from the High Priest, how could they dare to let a few grown men search a woman's body? This was simply a naked insult. They were not afraid even if it came to the main temple.
Only then did Kong Renhe realize that he had done something stupid in anger and finally aroused public anger.
"Come back here," Kong Renhe ordered.
The law enforcement priests quickly retreated. They also realized that Kong Renhe was clearly trying to make things difficult for Mu Hanyan. They had no grudges against Mu Hanyan and did not want to get involved in this mess.
"What, you don't want to search me anymore?" Mu Hanyan said jokingly, but a cold light flashed across her face.
Fortunately, those law enforcement priests hadn't colluded with Kong Renhe, otherwise, she would have shown no mercy. Daring to search Miss Mu's body, she was tired of living.
Although she didn't take action just now, Mu Hanyan gradually lost her patience.
