Although Zhao Xinghong lost the five-colored soul bead, no one knew the truth. No one knew that he had violated the laws of the temple and ambushed and assassinated Mu Hanyan. Even if others were dissatisfied, they could not do anything to the Zhao family. After all, death is the greatest thing. In order not to disappoint other priests, they had to appease the Zhao family.
But if they revealed the truth, Zhao Xinghong's reputation would be ruined, and the entire Zhao family would be scorned, perhaps even facing catastrophic disaster. After all, the major families within the temple had been fighting for a long time, and there were many people waiting to take advantage of the situation. If the truth was exposed, the Zhao family might be devoured by the other families before Guan Xiujin could even take action.
Zhao Xinghong risked his life to send them out, but he didn't want them to lead the Zhao family to destruction.
To put it bluntly, Mu Hanyan was just protecting herself. Even if she rebelled for money, it was human nature and not a big mistake. She just needed to hand over the batch of five-colored soul beads. Could Guan Xiujin really take her life?
As long as Mu Hanyan doesn't die, even if other families don't take action, the Zhao family will sooner or later be destroyed in her hands. They have seen with their own eyes how powerful she is.
In fact, they had vaguely thought about these things when they escaped from the Black Wood Prison, but after traveling through the wilderness and suffering so much, they didn't have time to think about it. When they came back and saw Mu Hanyan, hatred surged to the sky and their blood boiled. They only wanted to use Guan Xiujing's hands to avenge their blood feud, and didn't think much about it.
After Mu Hanyan's implicit and explicit reminder, the two of them immediately realized that if they foolishly told the truth, they would be the ones who would suffer in the end.
"Mu Hanyan, shut up!" Guan Xiu Jin was also confused at first, until Mu Hanyan said the last sentence, he vaguely understood what was going on and shouted loudly. Unfortunately, it was too late when he remembered to stop Mu Hanyan.
"Sir Zhao, my dear nephew Zhiyuan, just tell me how Sir Xinghong died. I will take care of everything for you." Guan Xiujing calmed himself down and spoke to Zhao Xinghu, uncle and nephew, in a gentle and persuasive manner.
"Master Chief Priest, I don't know what Ou Mingzhi told you, but my eldest brother died under the siege of strange beasts. It was probably because he killed too many people in hunting the five-colored soul beads, so he was retaliated by the strange beasts. It has nothing to do with Master Priest Mu. The situation was dangerous at that time, and my eldest brother's soul exploded to rescue us from the Black Wood Prison. We don't know where his storage bracelet went." Unfortunately, he was disappointed. After getting Mu Hanyan's advice, or threat, Zhao Xinghu no longer dared to be her enemy. He took a deep breath and said.
"What! What did you say? It was obviously Mu Hanyan who killed Lord Zhao. Your Zhao family has a deep hatred for her. How can you confuse right and wrong and cover up for him?" Ou Mingzhi was completely dumbfounded. He said in shock and anxiety.
"Sir Zhao, my dear nephew Zhiyuan, you must not be deceived by Mu Hanyan. Don't worry, although she is powerful, I will be in charge of you. She dare not do anything to you." Guan Xiujing said anxiously.
If Zhao Xinghu and his nephew had not returned, he could have barely found a reason to attack Mu Hanyan with the confessions of Ou Mingzhi and the others. However, after Zhao Xinghu said this, he no longer had any reason to attack Mu Hanyan.
"Master Priest, we have told you the truth. We will take our leave now." Zhao Xinghong smiled bitterly and said nothing more. He took Zhao Zhiyuan out of the hall. The mutilated figure looked indescribably desolate and helpless.
If possible, they certainly hope that Mu Hanyan will die at the hands of Guan Xiujing and others, but they know very well that even if the truth is revealed, Mu Hanyan will definitely not die, but they, along with the Zhao family behind them, will be completely finished. They know exactly what to choose.
