"Third uncle, Huayu City should be ahead." Liu Qianyuan said, pointing to a towering city in the distance.
"This is Huayu City. Isn't it said that the Huayu Temple has been in decline for many years and is about to collapse? It doesn't look like that." Liu Rande said curiously.
Although the distance was still far, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic at the city gate, one could feel the prosperity and bustle of Huayu City, which was completely different from what they had imagined.
"I don't know what's going on, but judging from the map, this is indeed Huayu City." Liu Qianyuan looked at the map in his hand and said after confirming it.
"Never mind him, let's go into the city first." Liu Rande came to find trouble with Mu Hanyan and was too lazy to think about other things.
At this moment, another group of young priests also swaggered towards Huayu City.
When the two sides met, they were both slightly startled. This group of young people who came were the priests of the Earth Temple, led by Shi Renjie and Lu Guanyu.
"Shi Renjie, Lu Guanyu, what are you two doing in Huayu City?" Liu Qianyuan said with a bad look at the two young priests in the lead.
As the younger generation of the five upper-level temples, they all come from extraordinary backgrounds and are destined to become rivals in the future. It is normal for them to dislike each other.
However, this is not the Black Wood Prison, and Liu Qianyuan did not dare to act rashly.
"It's none of your business. What's the matter? Do you still want to support Mu Hanyan?" Shi Renjie said unhappily.
"Liu Qianyuan, others may be afraid of you, but we two brothers are not afraid of you. If you want to support Mu Hanyan, think carefully." Lu Guanyu stroked his beard and said with his eyes wide open.
The two of them came to the Huayu Temple today with the same purpose as Liu Qianyuan, which was to find trouble with Mu Hanyan. Originally, they were about to take action in the Black Wood Prison, but Guan Qingyun always ruined their plans. They were really upset and didn't even go back to the Earth Temple. As soon as they left Qianlongyuan, they went straight to Huayu City.
They thought Guan Qingyun was someone they couldn't afford to offend, but he couldn't possibly follow Mu Hanyan forever. As long as they set their sights on Huayu City, they'd have plenty of opportunities to deal with Mu Hanyan. But who would have thought they'd run into Liu Qianyuan before even entering Huayu City? Could it be that he knew they were coming for revenge and was backing Mu Hanyan up? With this in mind, they naturally harbored hostility towards Liu Qianyuan.
"Support? Why should I support her? I'm here to cause trouble for her." Liu Qianyuan was slightly stunned, then guessed something and his expression relaxed a lot.
Although he was not familiar with Shi Renjie and Lu Guanyu, he knew them somewhat. He knew that these two second-generation rich men did not have much ability but had bad tempers. Most likely, they had a conflict with Mu Hanyan when they were in the Black Wood Prison and suffered a lot, so they came to seek revenge.
"Do you also have a grudge against Mu Hanyan?" Hearing him say this, Shi Renjie's expression relaxed and he asked.
"Yes, Mu Hanyan injured my subordinates and stole our five-colored soul beads. I am here to seek justice." Liu Qianyuan nodded.
For the sake of face, he didn't dare to say more, let alone mention the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast. However, simply stating their purpose was enough. With his scheming mind, how could he not understand the meaning of the "also" in Shi Renjie's words? Sure enough, he was right. These two guys came to Huayu City for the same reason as he did: to cause trouble for Mu Hanyan.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although he looked down on these two incompetent and slightly brainless second-generation rich kids, since they all had the same goal, they were naturally friends.
"Hahahaha, Mu Hanyan is quite courageous. Not only did he offend the two of us brothers, he even offended Brother Liu. We are here to cause trouble for him. Let's go together." Shi Renjie patted Liu Qianyuan's shoulder and laughed.
"That would be the best." Liu Qianyuan nodded.
Although Third Uncle is here, dealing with Mu Hanyan is just a piece of cake, but having more manpower is never a bad thing.
Soon, the group arrived at the city gate.
Just now, from the distance, I only felt that Huayu City was prosperous with people coming and going, which was very different from the decline in the legend. Now that I was closer, I realized that the scale of this city was far beyond my imagination.
More importantly, whether it was the soldiers guarding the city walls or the temple guards patrolling everywhere, they all exuded a fierce murderous aura, and even the civilians in the city seemed unusually tough.
This is no wonder. Huayu City has been baptized by wars many times since its reconstruction. First, there was a small group of bandits led by Xiang Qiuzhan, and then there was a large group of bandits secretly controlled by Zhan Yuan. Finally, Zhan Yuan even took action personally. If it were not for Mu Shouyan's efforts to turn the tide, this ancient city would probably have become a ruin.
After experiencing the baptism of war, both the priests and the people of Huayu City have a stronger spirit of iron and blood. Even the people who joined later were subtly infected by it and became much tougher than people in other places.
"Renjie, should we gather some good guys first?" Lu Guanyu said with some guilt.
Logically speaking, with their strength, it would be more than enough to crush a mere lower-level temple. However, looking at the sturdy city, the ancient and majestic temple, and feeling the iron-blooded aura of the priests and people in the city, he felt inexplicably guilty.
"Well, that's fine. Mu Hanyan is quite powerful. Let's gather some good players first." As good friends, Shi Renjie and Lu Guanyu were in sync and felt guilty.
"It's just a lower-level temple. With me here, do you need to find someone else?" Liu Rande said disdainfully.
"Who is this old man?" Shi Renjie asked curiously. He was so busy talking to Liu Qianyuan that he forgot to ask about the old man's background.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce him. This is my third uncle, Liu Rande, Lord Liu." Liu Qianyuan said.
Shi Renjie and Lu Guanyu both looked confused. Liu Rande, is there such a person in the Liu family? Why have they never heard of him?
"By the way, my third uncle is already a powerful man at the peak of the tenth-level Divine Heart Priest." Liu Qianyuan added.
Shi Renjie and Lu Guanyu immediately stood in awe. He was at the peak of the tenth-order Divine Heart Priest, a master of the same level as Shi Renjie's father.
"Do you think we need to gather more people?" Seeing the respect on the two men's faces, Liu Rande's vanity was greatly satisfied.
You have to know that he lived to be over 150 years old. In the first 100 years, basically no one looked at him straight in the eye. It was because most of the other elderly people of his generation had died in these years, and he relied on the inexhaustible cultivation resources to improve his cultivation level, and only then did he gradually enjoy this kind of admiring gaze.
