"Misfortunes sent by Heaven can be survived, but those brought upon oneself cannot. He is seeking death, so we cannot be blamed for being unjust." Fan Chengli was even more furious. As the head priest of the Qingning Temple, Pingchuan was originally under his jurisdiction. But Sha Mingyuan, armed with a divine decree, acted as if he were his equal, completely humiliating him in front of the other head priests. It would be strange if he could accept this.
"It's strange. Even if Sha Mingyuan has the divine edict in his hand and can build another temple, he is just on an equal footing with us. Moreover, the temple is just being built, so he will inevitably need our help. There is no need for him to fall out with us so early. What's more, we are here for the safety of Pingchuan City and the survival of his Sha family. There is no need for him to turn against us." Chu Yanghe said doubtfully.
The other chief priests were also puzzled. Although Pingchuan City had some foundation, building the temple was by no means a one-day job. They would inevitably rely on their help. Sha Mingyuan was busy trying to curry favor with them, so why would he turn against them so early? After thinking about it, they couldn't figure out the reason.
"By the way, Chief Priest Mu, where did you get this information? Will those thugs really attack Pingchuan City?" Fan Chengli asked. Originally, he had absolutely no desire to see those thugs in his territory, but Sha Mingyuan's arrogance had completely humiliated him, and he was actually hoping Pingchuan City would be slaughtered.
"This is the news sent by Chen Xuefeng. It should not be groundless." Mu Hanyan did not hide it and said frankly.
"Chen Xuefeng, the one Chief Priest Mu was talking about was the leader of the Blood Wind Bandits, Chen Xuefeng!" Obviously, Chu Yanghe and the others had also heard of Chen Xuefeng's name, but they didn't expect that Mu Hanyan actually had dealings with this kind of bandits. They all looked surprised.
"He has now reformed and is working for my Huayu Temple." Mu Hanyan briefly recounted how she subdued Chen Xuefeng.
"I never thought that even a heinous criminal like Chen Xuefeng would have a day when he would turn over a new leaf." Chu Yanghe and others said with emotion.
"In fact, the reason why Chen Xuefeng became a bandit was because he had no choice. I heard that he was originally Fei Changle's bodyguard. Because he refused to marry Miss Fei, he was expelled from the house by Fei Changle. He became a bandit when he had no other choice." Mu Hanyan explained.
"It seems to be the case." Fan Chengli said somewhat embarrassedly.
The young lady of the Fei family had a bad character, having gotten pregnant before she even married. To prevent the family scandal from becoming public, Fei Changle sought to marry Chen Xuefeng into the family, but Chen Xuefeng refused. Furious, Fei Changle expelled him from the Fei family. This incident had been a hot topic in Qingning City for several years, and he had heard some rumors. However, given his status, he couldn't possibly stand up for a mere servant, let alone meddle in the Fei family's affairs. After all these years, he had almost forgotten the story. If Mu Hanyan hadn't mentioned it, he probably wouldn't have remembered it at all.
"By the way, where is Chen Xuefeng now?" Chu Yanghe asked.
Although they no longer wanted to care about the fate of the Sha family, the existence of those murderers was always a huge threat to their major temples. They would not be able to rest easy unless they were eliminated as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the major temples had been searching for so long but had not been able to find the whereabouts of the other party. Only Chen Xuefeng knew the whereabouts. If they found Chen Xuefeng, they should be able to find the other party.
"I'm not quite sure either." Mu Hanyan shook her head and said.
Although Chen Xuefeng had made a soul death contract, his life and death depended on her thoughts, but this contract was different from the beast soul contract. She could only control Chen Xuefeng's life and death, but could not find his specific location.
"Master Priest, are you talking about Brother Chen Xuefeng?" At this time, the girl who was rescued by Jiang Qiling said nervously.
"Do you know Chen Xuefeng?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"We once encountered bandits in the wilderness, and it was Brother Chen who saved us. He said his name was Chen Xuefeng, but we don't know if he was the person you were talking about." The girl replied.
"What does he look like?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"He's tall, has a full beard, and looks fierce," the girl thought for a moment before adding, "But Brother Chen is a good man. If it weren't for him, we would have died along the way."
Mu Hanyan pondered for a moment. Although the person the girl was talking about was very similar to Chen Xuefeng, there were many people who looked similar, and it was impossible to conclude that this Chen Xuefeng was the Chen Xuefeng they were talking about.
"Then where did he go later?" Mu Hanyan asked after thinking for a while.
"Brother Chen said that his enemy is in Pingchuan City, and he wants to go to Pingchuan City to seek revenge." The girl replied.
Pingchuan City, seeking revenge! Mu Hanyan's heart moved.
"Master Priest Fan, I remember you once mentioned that the Fei family and the Sha family are in-laws?" Mu Hanyan turned her head to look at Fan Chengli.
"Yes, the Sha family and the Fei family have been friends for generations, and the two families often have intermarriages. Fei Changle has a son and a daughter, and his son was betrothed to Sha Mingyuan's daughter. It seems that after the Fei family was driven out of Qingning City by me, many members of the family took refuge in the Sha family, including Fei Changle's son and daughter. This girl said that Chen Xuefeng came to Pingchuan City to seek revenge, and she is most likely the Chen Xuefeng we are talking about." Fan Chengli nodded and said.
When he said this, he suddenly thought of something and said, "No wonder Sha Mingyuan didn't want to let us into the city. He must be afraid that we will kill all the descendants of the Fei family. This old man really underestimates us."
The other chief priests also suddenly realized that Fei Changle had offended both Fan Chengli and Mu Hanyan. After being driven out of Qingning City, the Fei family had no place to stay. Only Pingchuan City could provide them with some protection. Seeing Mu Hanyan and the other chief priests arrive, it would be strange if Sha Mingyuan didn't panic. How could he dare let them into the city? However, the old man really judged others by his own means this time. With Mu Hanyan's current strength, there was no time to waste on a small Fei family like them. This time, he came to Pingchuan City purely to save people.
"In that case, Chen Xuefeng is most likely trapped in Pingchuan City." Mu Hanyan said with a frown.
She didn't have time to care about Sha Mingyuan's little thoughts, nor was she interested in the Fei family. She only cared about Chen Xuefeng's whereabouts.
"I heard that Chen Xuefeng has some strength, but he is still far behind Sha Mingyuan. Pingchuan City is managed perfectly by the Sha family. If he comes here to seek revenge, isn't he walking into a trap?" Fan Chengli shook his head and said.
"Chief Priest Fan, Chief Priest Chu, you continue to return to Qingning City. I have to go back to Pingchuan City." Mu Hanyan said.
"Chief Priest Mu, do you want to save Chen Xuefeng? In my opinion, if Chen Xuefeng falls into Sha Mingyuan's hands, he will most likely be in danger. There is no need to make another trip for him." Fan Chengli advised.
"No, Chen Xuefeng is already a citizen of my Huayu Temple. I can't just leave him alone. I must see him alive or dead." Mu Hanyan said firmly, then turned and rushed towards Pingchuan City.
Taotie, Gao Weihu and others also hurriedly set off and followed behind.
