If you hadn't experienced it yourself, who could have imagined that such a mysterious secret existed inside that tiny, incomplete artifact?
"What kind of magical weapon is this?" Long Wudang asked in surprise. As he spoke, he stabbed the surrounding barriers with his sword. Although the barriers seemed invisible, they were as solid as a rock. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break them.
Jiang Qiling and Gao Weihu also tried, but soon discovered that they were unable to break the artifact's restriction with their own strength. Their only consolation was that the artifact's restriction was unusually calm and posed no threat to them. It could only trap them, but not kill them.
"Hahaha, so what if he's a high-level Divine Heart Priest? When he encounters my Sha family's ancestral divine artifact, he can only surrender." Sha Mingyuan's triumphant laughter came to his ears, and his face became distorted and hazy through the barrier.
"I really didn't expect that the city lord's magic weapon would be so domineering!" Fei Changle finally got up from the ground and said flatteringly.
When he first heard Sha Mingyuan's boasts, he'd thought the old man was just boasting. Now, he realized he wasn't exaggerating. The Sha family's ancestral artifact was truly formidable. Mu Hanyan, who had easily slaughtered Zhao Xinghong, hadn't been able to resist it at all and was instantly trapped within it. Fei Changle's initial uneasiness finally settled.
The other members of the Sha family looked at their patriarch with faces full of pride, while the guests from other families were filled with awe.
"It's a pity that our Sha family's ancestors failed to comprehend the mystery of this divine weapon. Otherwise, with our Sha family's former prestige, how could we have fallen to this point today?" Sha Mingyuan said with emotion.
"The Sha family used to be..." Fei Changle looked at Sha Mingyuan curiously. From what Sha Mingyuan said, the Sha family used to be a very famous and prestigious family. However, as far as he knew, including the five upper temples, there seemed to be no major family with the surname Sha.
"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. My Sha family is from Xiaoshentian. We were originally one of the twelve clans in Xiaoshentian. Later, some misfortunes happened and we ended up in the lower temple." Sha Mingyuan said.
As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar broke out all around. Who could have imagined that the Sha family had such a powerful background? Any family in Xiaoshentian would be far more powerful than the Liu family, known as the first family of the five upper temples. Moreover, they were one of the twelve clans in Xiaoshentian. Such a top priest family was not even worthy of their admiration.
What an honor it was for them to be able to follow such a family. If they had been somewhat uneasy about staying before, now everyone was overjoyed, even moved to tears.
"Although my Sha family has been in decline for many years, I have already comprehended the mystery of this divine weapon. It is only a matter of time before the Sha family regains its former glory. You have been loyal to my Sha family today, and I will never treat you unfairly. When my Sha family returns to the Lesser God Heaven in the future, there will definitely be a place for you." Seeing the excitement in everyone's eyes, Sha Mingyuan struck while the iron was hot.
Everyone then realized that Sha Mingyuan's ambition was not only to be on par with the Qingning Temple, he even disdained to compete with the Life Temple, and instead wanted to return to the Lesser God Heaven!
Lesser God Heaven, that was the holy land in the hearts of all priests. However, even the chief priests of the lower temples only had one or two opportunities in their lifetime to go there for training and experience, and the time limit was extremely short. Given their status and strength, they probably wouldn't even get a chance in several lifetimes, let alone hold a place in the Lesser God Heaven. For a moment, everyone was trembling with excitement.
"I am willing to die for you, my Lord!"
"As long as the master gives the order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"I am a member of the Sha family in life and a ghost of the Sha family in death. I am willing to serve the Sha family from generation to generation and never have two minds." Led by Fei Changle, everyone fell to the ground and expressed their loyalty to Sha Mingyuan.
"Father-in-law, what are you doing? We are all family, there is no need to be so formal. And you all, get up." Sha Mingyuan helped Fei Changle up, waved his hand, and asked everyone to stand up.
Afterwards, Sha Ming made a few more hand gestures, and in mid-air, the giant seal shrank rapidly and returned to its original shape in his palm. However, the restricted space within it did not change at all, and Mu Hanyan and others were not affected at all.
"Lord City Lord, what kind of magic weapon is this?" Fei Changle asked with curiosity and envy.
"This item is called Qiankun Seal of Life and Death. It is not owned by our Divine Continent, but is a divine artifact from another powerful cultivation plane outside the Nine Heavens." Sha Mingyuan said complacently.
"It turns out that this divine weapon has such a great origin! The city lord is worthy of being a descendant of a famous family. He can actually comprehend the mystery of it. If it were someone else, it would probably take several lifetimes to comprehend it." A family head sighed and flattered madly.
"It's ridiculous that Mu Hanyan, relying on her strength, actually dares to come to our Pingchuan City to act wildly. Isn't this asking for trouble?" Someone also said sarcastically.
"By the way, Lord City Lord, is Mu Hanyan dead or alive now?" someone asked curiously.
"Let her live for now. After my Sha family celebrates the millennium anniversary of the ancestor, we will think about how to deal with her. If she is willing to bow to my Sha family, then I will spare her life. If she refuses to change her ways, then I will slowly deal with her." Sha Mingyuan said.
In fact, the Qiankun Life and Death Seal in his hand was incomplete, and his understanding was extremely limited. Although he could imprison Mu Hanyan and others in it, he could not do anything to them. Of course, he would not tell anyone about this, because that would destroy his own prestige.
"The Lord City Lord is kindhearted, and Mu Hanyan is just lucky. If she had met someone else, how could she still be alive?"
"Yes, I think Mu Hanyan has learned her lesson and should learn her lesson. She shouldn't become an enemy of the City Lord anymore."
"The city lord was kind enough to spare her life, so she should be grateful. If she still doesn't repent, she would be too ungrateful." Fei Changle and others continued to flatter him.
Inside the Qiankun Life and Death Seal, Mu Hanyan's face was filled with surprise. Although they were in a restricted space, they could see everything that happened outside, and every word of Sha Mingyuan and the others' conversation fell into their ears without missing a word.
The Qiankun Seal of Life and Death, it turns out that this is the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death mentioned by the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, and it is also the divine artifact from outer space that can help the Ancient Tree of Life recover its vitality!
According to the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast, the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death was broken into five pieces, one of which fell into the hands of the Main Temple, the other two were obtained by the two priest families of Lesser God Heaven, and the two smallest pieces were taken out of Lesser God Heaven by the two priest families.
