The original plan was to use the Soul Palace's restrictions to threaten Mu Hanyan, forcing her to hand over the Five-Colored Soul Orb and the elixir. However, who knew that Mu Hanyan would actually pass through the five layers of restrictions and obtain the Soul Palace's secret, which had been kept secret for a million years. Worst of all, the Soul Palace itself was reduced to ruins, meaning that none of them, including their descendants, would ever have the opportunity to train there again.
Others lost more than they gained, but the rice they lost was probably enough to fill a whole basket.
"Master Priest, what should we do next?" After a long while, Kong Renhe asked Guan Xiujing with a sad face.
What should I do? How should I know what to do? You always ask me this. Don’t you have a brain? Guan Xiujin was already depressed enough, and after hearing his words, he was even more furious and almost burst into a curse.
"Or, let's just leave it at that. We will report this matter to the Main Temple and ask the Lord to show leniency and help the Temple of Life overcome the difficulties." Jiang Ruchu said with a sigh.
He had already thought about reconciling with Mu Hanyan, but Guan Xiujin was just too proud to let go. Now that things had come to this point, he was disheartened and really didn't want to be Mu Hanyan's enemy anymore.
"What will happen to us then? How will the Lord God deal with us?" Kong Renhe asked worriedly.
"The incident was ultimately caused by Zhao Xinghong. As high priests, we are not to blame for it, but I believe that the Lord God will not make things too difficult for us. At least our lives should be safe." Jiang Ruchu said.
"Uh..." Kong Renhe's face turned pale. His life should be saved, which means that he can escape the death penalty, but he cannot escape the punishment of living.
What would happen if the Lord Divine Master was angered? The Flower Rain Temple was a lesson learned. Given the status of the Life Temple, the High Priest was unlikely to allow such a high-ranking temple to follow in the footsteps of the Flower Rain Temple. However, the punishment these high priests would receive would certainly far exceed the punishment inflicted on the priests of the Flower Rain Temple in the past.
He will definitely be stripped of his priesthood and exiled thousands of miles away. In more serious cases, the whole family may be in danger.
He has worked hard to get to his current position, so how could he be willing to end up like this? He is even more unwilling to see his family suffer because of him.
Around him, several other priests also had pale faces.
"No, we can't just give up like this!" Guan Xiu Jin suddenly gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
At this time, Guan Xiu Jin was actually also greatly shocked and felt a little discouraged. However, others could give up, but he absolutely could not, because he was the main priest.
Zhao Xinghong had acted on his own initiative and lost the Five-Colored Soul Orb. Jiang Ruchu and the others, due to their duties, were implicated, but their responsibility was minor. With any luck, they might not be exiled, and their clan members wouldn't be implicated. As the Chief Priest of Life, he had both the authority to issue orders to Zhao Xinghong and the responsibility of oversight. Zhao Xinghong had caused such a catastrophic mess, and he couldn't be held responsible. Exiling the entire clan would be the least of his worries. In the wrath of the Lord Divine, he might even lose his life.
It would be fine if he was the only one to be punished, but Guan Qingyun had finally found a promising future after becoming a disciple of Dou Nanshan. If he were implicated in this incident, his future would be completely ruined. Guan Qingyun was not only his hope, but also the hope of the Guan family for tens of thousands of years. He could not be destroyed like this.
After all, everyone else could give up, but Guan Xiu Jin couldn't. Only by forcing Mu Hanyan to hand over the batch of five-colored soul beads could their Guan family survive.
"Master Chief Priest, what should we do then?" Kong Renhe asked. He was reluctant to give up the position of Prayer Priest that he had finally obtained with great difficulty, and he had the deepest ties with Mu Hanyan. If there was still a way out, he didn't want to give up like this.
It came again. Hearing Kong Renhe's question, Guan Xiujin felt a headache again, but he couldn't get angry. He could only rub his temples and said, "Let me think about it, think about it again."
Jiang Ruchu sighed inwardly. Even the Soul Hall's trials hadn't stumped Mu Hanyan, so how could he possibly come up with another solution? However, he could somewhat guess Guan Xiujin's thoughts, so it was difficult to stop him. He could only let him go.
After a short rest and regaining some spirits, everyone left dejectedly. Before leaving, they couldn't help but glance at the ruins of the Soul Palace. Although the space still existed after the collapse of the Soul Palace, it was estimated that no one would come here again. They felt a little lonely and regretful.
In the Temple of Life, Mu Hanyan has returned to her room.
"Master Priest, you're back!" Gao Weihu was standing in front of her door, pacing back and forth restlessly. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Mu Hanyan and shouted in surprise.
Although he had not been to the Soul Temple and did not know what kind of dangers were hidden there, as far as he knew, since the discovery of the temple, no one had ever passed the test in the hundreds of thousands of years. Even his ancestor was said to have been unable to fully comprehend the secrets therein, so he couldn't help but worry about Mu Hanyan.
Fortunately, he knew that although Guan Xiujin and others had no good intentions in taking Mu Hanyan to the Soul Palace, they would not dare to easily kill her for the sake of those five-colored soul beads, so he did not panic.
"I'm back. I've worried you these days. Go back and rest early." Mu Hanyan patted Gao Weihu's shoulder and said with a smile.
Mu Hanyan was deeply moved by the truth behind the death of the Aolai beast, and she began to cherish her friends even more. Looking at Gao Weihu's red eyes, she knew that he hadn't rested since she left for the Soul Palace, and had been waiting for her return.
"By the way, Master Chief Priest, have you passed the trial of the Soul Palace?" Gao Weihu asked with some curiosity and anticipation.
Knowing Mu Hanyan well, he knew she wouldn't easily bow to Guan Xiujin and the others. Now that she'd returned safely, she'd likely passed the Spirit Hall's trials. But guesses were just guesses, and without a definitive answer, he wouldn't be able to sleep even if he returned.
"Yes, I passed all five levels of trials." Mu Hanyan did not hide it and nodded.
"She really passed, she really passed!" As expected, he was right. Mu Hanyan had actually passed all the trials of the Soul Temple. This was a miracle that no one in the Life Temple had been able to achieve in hundreds of thousands of years! Gao Weihu was so excited that his whole body was shaking.
"What is the secret hidden in the Soul Palace?" After a while, Gao Weihu calmed down and asked curiously.
"That's it." Mu Hanyan smiled slightly and took out the Destiny Star Plate that she got in the Soul Palace.
"The Destiny Star Chart!" Gao Weihu was slightly startled, and then said with a look of joy, "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir!"
