"I'm afraid Mu Hanyan won't take the bait. Don't forget that she still has more than 200,000 five-colored soul beads hidden. How could she be tempted by such a small reward?" Guan Xiujin shook his head and said.
Jiang Ruchu and others also shook their heads secretly. If they had so many five-colored soul beads, they would never take such a risk easily. Moreover, how could Mu Hanyan be so stupid as to alert the enemy today?
"If it's about carrying out a mission, she certainly won't be tempted, but if it's the Soul Palace, won't she be tempted?" Gao Weihu said confidently.
"The Spirit Hall!" Guan Xiujin and others were shocked at the same time.
The Soul Temple has a longer history than the Life Temple. It is also one of the most mysterious temples in the entire Continent of Gods. Precisely because it is too mysterious, most people don't even know of its existence.
Strictly speaking, the Soul Hall is also an ancient relic. When the Sacred Continent was separated and shattered, the space where the Soul Hall was located was distorted and fragmented, and it disappeared from the continent. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a senior priest of the Life Temple, who was proficient in formations, accidentally opened a space channel. As a result, the Soul Hall became the greatest secret of the Life Temple.
Since ancient times, the Hall of Souls has been a training ground for successive high priests of the Temple of Life before they ascended the throne. Some high priests who are highly respected and have made great contributions to the temple also have the opportunity to enter for training after obtaining unanimous approval from all high priests. However, this situation is very rare. Over the past few hundred years, except for Guan Xiujing who had entered the Hall of Souls once before becoming the high priest, no one else has had this honor, not even Yang Wensheng and Qiu Yongcheng.
It is said that there is an unparalleled secret hidden in this Palace of the Souls. As long as one comprehends it, one's strength will increase greatly, and one may even ascend to heaven in one step and become one of the strongest people in the Continent of Gods.
Of course, such opportunities were rare. The Life Temple replaced a new High Priest every few hundred years. Since the founding of the Soul Temple, countless people had ascended to the position, but none had ever comprehended its mysteries. However, a Left Priest, having rendered great service to the Temple, was recognized by the other High Priests and admitted to the Soul Temple. He comprehended some of the mysteries, rapidly increasing his strength and becoming one of the Twelve Blessed Priests, a truly remarkable figure.
And this person is Gao Weilong's ancestor.
"I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate and against the rules." Guan Xiu Jin said with a frown.
As the chief priest, he had only had the honor of entering the Hall of Souls once before he ascended the throne. No other priest had this qualification. Even the two old guys Yang Wensheng and Qiu Yongcheng did not dare to have such extravagant hope. What qualifications did Mu Hanyan have to go to the Hall of Souls?
"Yes, she is not the candidate for the next high priest, and she has not made any contribution to the temple. It is unreasonable and unjust to send her to the Soul Temple like this." Jiang Ruchu and others also shook their heads.
The Palace of Divine Souls is a holy place for cultivation that countless high priests throughout history have dreamed of, and they are no exception. Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, they will never have such an opportunity in their lifetime, but Mu Hanyan has taken such a huge advantage. How can they be willing to accept this?
"But apart from this, do we have any other way? Time waits for no one. Some rumors have already spread below. If we can't force Mu Hanyan to hand over the batch of five-colored soul beads as soon as possible, I'm afraid people will be in chaos." Gao Weilong said.
Guan Xiujin and the others fell silent. To save money, they hadn't received their salaries in months. The rewards they should have received were also very limited. The priests below were already complaining, and even rumors were spreading that weren't really rumors. Although the incident was caused by Zhao Xinghong, if it leaked, they, the high priests, would be blamed.
"Over the years, countless chief priests have had the honor to go to the Palace of Divine Souls for training, and there have also been high priests. But apart from our ancestors, who can benefit from it? What benefits can Mu Hanyan get from it? We don't have to worry about her taking advantage of anything. If she honestly hands over the batch of five-colored soul beads, it's fine. If she refuses to change her ways, we will trap her to death in the Palace of Divine Souls." Gao Weilong said with a ferocious face.
"That's true. Let's do it this way." Guan Xiu Jin finally made up his mind.
Although Gao Weilong's words were a bit harsh, he was also one of the chief priests who was fortunate enough to enter the Soul Palace but gained nothing, but it was also the truth. So many chief priests returned empty-handed, so what advantage could Mu Hanyan gain?
Once inside the Soul Hall, however, it wasn't so easy to escape. The Soul Hall was said to have five layers of restrictions, each of which could only be opened by the combined efforts of several high priests from the Life Temple. Once Mu Hanyan entered the first layer, she would be trapped there forever unless she could comprehend the secrets of all five layers and break through them one by one.
At that time, are you still afraid that you won't be able to control her?
"But what's the reason? We can't just let her go to the Soul Palace for no reason, right?" Jiang Ruchu and the others were also tempted, but rules are rules. They were somewhat unwilling to let Mu Hanyan go to the Soul Palace without even a reason.
"The reason..." Guan Xiu Jin pondered.
According to the rules, only those who are highly respected and have made great contributions to the Temple of Life, and have been recognized by the High Priests, including the Chief Priest, are qualified to train in the Soul Temple. Mu Hanyan is young, so she is certainly not highly respected. However, the reputation of the dandy Chief Priest is quite high. As for great contributions, since arriving at the Temple of Life, she has only practiced and wandered around, so there is no merit to speak of.
"By the way, I heard that someone once reported that Xiang Qiuzhan was killed by her." Guan Qingyun suddenly said.
To be honest, this happened almost a year ago. Guan Xiujing and others were busy with trivial matters and had long forgotten about this matter. However, Guan Qingyun had not been back for long and was particularly concerned about Mu Hanyan, so he was quite impressed.
In fact, Guan Qingyun was also full of yearning for the trial of the Soul Palace. Unfortunately, even though he was Dou Nanshan's disciple, he did not have this honor. Seeing that Mu Hanyan, a thorn in everyone's eyes, had such luck, he couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. However, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only help with advice.
"Yes, how could I have forgotten about this?" Guan Xiujin's eyes lit up, and he said to Guan Qingyun, "Qingyun, go inform Mu Hanyan and tell her that the Divine Temple has verified that she killed Xiang Qiuzhan. As a reward, she has been granted permission to go to the Divine Soul Temple for training and experience. Tell her to prepare well and leave in three days."
The reason why they can only set off after three days is because it is too difficult to open the restrictions of the Soul Palace, and they also need time to prepare.
"Me?" Guan Qingyun was slightly stunned.
