He was eager to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible and return to the Temple of Death, but how could he feel at ease leaving Liu Qianyuan behind like this? If anything happened to him, how would he explain to the High Priest?
"I can't swallow this humiliation if I go back like this." Liu Qianyuan said with a gloomy face.
"Young Master, do you want to take them both to seek revenge on Mu Hanyan?" Juan was even more surprised.
Even with so many people following him, Liu Qianyuan was bullied by Mu Hanyan. He actually dared to seek revenge on her by leaving only two people behind. Isn't he mentally ill?
"My third uncle is here." Liu Qianyuan said.
"Third uncle, you mean, Lord Liu Rande is back!" Juan looked at Liu Qianyuan in shock, and the other priests also showed fascination in their eyes.
"Do I have any other third uncles?" Liu Qianyuan said proudly.
"Since he is here, why don't we go to the Huayu Temple together to seek an explanation. By the way, we also want to see the elegance of Lord Liu." Juan said with some anticipation, and the other priests also looked excited.
Liu Rande was one of the Liu family's strongest masters. With him around, taking down Mu Hanyan was a sure thing. They had toiled for months in the Blackwood Prison, but in the end, nothing had come of it. All the five-colored soul beads had fallen into Mu Hanyan's pocket. They were pent up in anger and were just about to take advantage of someone's support to vent their anger and snatch the five-colored soul beads back.
"No need. This is the territory of the Temple of Life after all. It would be hard to deal with too many people. Just the few of us and Third Uncle will be enough. I will also bring back all the colorful soul beads that Mu Hanyan stole from you."
"Well then, let's go back to the Temple of Death and wait for the young master." Juan said with some regret.
Liu Qianyuan was right. This was the territory of the Temple of Life after all. Hundreds of them went to cause trouble for the Temple of Flower Rain. The Temple of Life could not just sit back and watch. It would be better if there were fewer people.
Although they couldn't vent their anger themselves, being able to get back the five-colored soul beads was a pleasant surprise, so they didn't insist any longer.
Soon, Liu Qianyuan and his party passed the inspection, left Qianlong Valley, and then parted ways.
"Master Kong, what's going on with you?" Just as Liu Qianyuan and others left, deep in Qianlong Valley, Guan Xiujing and others looked at the embarrassed Kong Renhe with surprise.
Originally they wanted to participate in the investigation together, but after some discussion, they gave up the idea.
Zhao Xinghong's death was a matter of grave importance, and those five-colored soul beads were crucial to the life temple's millennia-long rise and fall. If word got out, it would surely cause chaos. Kong Renhe alone might have been the cause of the incident, and others might have thought nothing of it, even if it was a bit strange. But the simultaneous appearance of several high priests would have made even a fool guess something was amiss. If someone wasn't careful, it would be a disaster. If they found the five-colored soul beads, it would be fine, but if they didn't, it would be a disaster.
So, after entrusting the matter to Kong Renhe, the others returned to the depths of Qianlong Valley and waited for good news. They chose Kong Renhe, firstly because of his status and strength, which convinced the public. Secondly, because he was a meticulous man with the ability to detect the energy of magical instruments. They reasoned that regardless of whether the person who had taken the storage bracelet was Mu Hanyan, Kong Renhe would surely capture her easily. Why would they need to intervene?
It was not until they saw Kong Renhe in front of them that they realized they were wrong, and extremely wrong.
