As Sha Mingyuan said this, he didn't realize that Fei Changle, hiding behind him, was about to cry. Indeed, Sha Mingyuan's strength was quite impressive, surpassing even the chief priests of other halls. Pingchuan City was also quite powerful. The Sha family's disciples, combined with the experts from various other clans and their defensive formations, while not as strong as lower-level temples like Qingning Temple, were nonetheless very formidable.
But no matter how strong he is, he can't be stronger than Zhao Xinghong. Even Zhao Xinghong could only self-destruct when he met Mu Hanyan. What can they do even if there are more people in Pingchuan City?
Fei Changle felt a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have told Sha Mingyuan the truth. But now the arrow was on the string and it was too late to say anything.
"Lord Sha, I'll say it again, hand over Chen Xuefeng. If he is still alive, I can spare your Pingchuan City. If he is dead, you can just wait to be buried with him." Mu Hanyan said lightly.
Although hundreds of long swords flashed coldly around her, her expression did not change at all.
Behind them, Gao Weihu and the others were also calm and composed, showing no signs of panic. Sha Mingyuan and Pingchuancheng's strength might be a threat to others, but it was not enough for them.
"What an arrogant girl! You dare to speak nonsense even when you are about to die! Do you really think that I won't dare to touch you just because you are the chief priest of Huayu?" Sha Mingyuan said disdainfully.
In his opinion, Mu Hanyan was so young, and no matter how strong she was, how strong could she be? She was just relying on her status as the chief priest of Huayu.
But he soon realized that he was wrong.
Waves of surging energy were slowly released from Mu Hanyan and the others. Although invisible, they were like mountains pressing down on their heads, making it hard to breathe.
"Divine Heart Priest!" Everyone around was shocked. If Mu Hanyan was the only Divine Heart Priest, it would be fine, but the other party was all Divine Heart Priests. Such strength was far beyond the scope of the lower temples.
Even more terrifying was the aura and pressure emanating from Mu Hanyan, several times greater than Sha Mingyuan's. While their cultivation couldn't discern her true realm, one thing was certain: this Huayu Priestess was undoubtedly a high-level Divine Heart Priest. Even if they combined their utmost strength, aided by Pingchuan City's defensive formations, they could only manage a decisive battle against Mu Hanyan, leaving them with no chance of protecting the others.
They didn't know that what Mu Hanyan showed was only the cultivation of a priest. If her sword skills were added, even if they joined forces and tried their best, they would not be able to compete with Mu Hanyan.
What they didn't know was that Mu Hanyan was accompanied by a legendary ferocious beast, but because it had transformed into a human form, it was unable to exert its full strength. If it transformed back into its original form, it would be able to fight even against the Soul Priests, and it would be much easier for it to deal with them.
Under the pressure of Mu Hanyan and others, the Sha family members surrounding them retreated one after another, and their hands holding the long swords were shaking constantly.
"City Lord Sha, do you want me to say it again?" Mu Hanyan looked at Sha Mingyuan and said proudly.
"Master...Master, why don't you release Chen..." The members of the Sha family also looked at Sha Mingyuan, hesitating, trying to persuade Sha Mingyuan to hand over Chen Xuefeng.
There was no way. The opponent was too powerful. If they were to get ruthless, it would not be difficult for them to destroy Pingchuan City. They did not want to die in vain.
"Shut up!" Sha Mingyuan shouted.
He had not expected that the strength of Mu Hanyan and others was so terrifying. If he had known it earlier, he would not have wanted to become their enemy so early. However, the people in Pingchuan City are already unstable. If he surrenders to Mu Hanyan in front of everyone, how can he convince everyone? How can he compete with the major temples in the future?
However, Sha Mingyuan did not have too much hesitation. Since he dared to openly break up with the chief priests, he had the confidence.
"Mu Hanyan, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such strength. But do you think that with such strength, you can do whatever you want in my Pingchuan City?" Sha Mingyuan sneered with a conceited look on his face.
Hearing his words, the surrounding Sha family members and guests were slightly startled. The other party was all Divine Heart Priests. The strongest one, Mu Hanyan, was a high-level Divine Heart Priest. The lowest level should have reached the eighth or ninth level. Such strength was not enough to conquer Pingchuan City.
Do whatever you want?
Mu Hanyan also looked at Sha Mingyuan strangely, wondering where this old man got his arrogance from.
"I originally wanted to wait until after the thousand-year ancestor worship before showing you the supreme power of my Sha family's ancestral artifact. It seems that I have to take action in advance." Sha Mingyuan said slowly, taking out a so-called artifact.
This divine weapon is like gold but not gold, like jade but not jade, and is obviously incomplete, but it faintly reveals an endless sense of mystery.
"The universe is boundless, life and death are annihilated, seal!" Sha Mingyuan quickly made a series of hand seals and handed the magic weapon to Mu Hanyan.
In an instant, light and shadow flickered on the broken artifact, countless runes swirled, and a huge phantom of the rune appeared in sight, constantly enlarging, covering Mu Hanyan and others.
"Eight Desolations, the God Falls!" Mu Hanyan was well prepared and slashed out with a sword. The burning fire spear, with a dazzling red desolate, shot straight towards the giant seal.
Jiang Qiling and Long Wudang also drew their swords and slashed at the same time, while Gao Weihu took out the newly refined giant hammer and smashed it down. Except for Taotie who did not transform back into his original form, the others all used their strongest attacks.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Hanyan's indestructible fire spear, Jiang Qiling and Long Wudang's murderous swords, and Gao Weihu's earth-shattering hammer strikes collided with the giant seal. However, a surprising scene occurred: the giant seal remained suspended in mid-air, motionless. Mu Hanyan and the others' attacks vanished into the giant seal like a dead sinking into the sea, without causing a single ripple.
Immediately afterwards, a golden rune came down towards them, like a golden rainstorm.
"Be careful!" Mu Hanyan's heart sank, and she retreated with Jiang Qiling and others.
Unfortunately, the golden rune came too fast and submerged them in an instant. It was obviously too late to retreat.
At the critical moment, Taotie moved his feet, came in front of several people, and placed the protective magic pot above everyone's heads.
Golden light shone all around them. Mu Hanyan and the others felt their bodies lighten as they were pulled forward by an overwhelmingly powerful force, flying towards the giant seal. In just a breath, they were like the swords and flaming spears that had been slashed out before, entering the giant seal.
A deathly silence reigned all around them. Being inside the giant seal felt like being in the void, with no heaven or earth, no sense of direction, no sense of left or right. However, unlike the void, a two-foot radius around them contained a layer of space, a semi-realistic barrier that imprisoned them.
