"I can't blame you. Actually, I didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it, if I was willing to hand over most of the five-colored soul beads in exchange for a chance to go to the Lesser God Heaven, Guan Xiu Jin would help me find a way even if it cost him his life. But it's better this way. It saves me money." Mu Hanyan didn't blame Gao Weihu, but shook her head and smiled.
"Are you ready to participate, sir?" Gao Weihu asked.
"Of course I'll participate! I can't wait for such a good thing. You should also participate, just consider it as more experience," Mu Hanyan said. Although Gao Weihu had integrated the two laws, his cultivation was still a little weak. This was a good opportunity to practice, so that he could be more flexible in future fights.
"Okay, I'll sign up right away." Even if Mu Hanyan didn't give him an order, Gao Weihu would still participate, not only for more experience, but also because of Mu Hanyan.
Guan Xiujin and others used the position of right priest as bait and would never let Mu Hanyan get it easily. They were probably planning a round-robin battle. If he participated, he could at least share some of the pressure.
"Wait, don't be in a hurry." Just when Gao Weihu was about to go out excitedly, Mu Hanyan stopped him.
"Does the lord have any other instructions?" Gao Weihu asked.
"What An Xiujin and the others did is obviously a trap. I'm not a fool. If I fall for it easily, they might become suspicious. I'll just delay it a little longer until they can't sit still anymore and come to me to beg like last time. It won't be too late to agree to it then." When Mu Hanyan said this, a strange arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a golden light flashed in her eyes, just like a little fox with eyes open for money.
Gao Weihu suddenly realized that the previous words were all excuses, and the last few words were probably the truth. It seemed that the benefits last time were too great, and the chief priest had become addicted to extortion.
Poor old guys, they have to bleed a lot again.
For the next two days, Mu Hanyan and the others were in no hurry. They neither left nor signed up for the sacrificial ceremony. They acted as if they knew nothing and each of them hid in their room to practice.
They are not in a hurry, but some people are.
"Why hasn't Mu Hanyan signed up yet? Is she scared and not even interested in the position of right priest?" In the main priest hall, Guan Xiujin rubbed his hands and said anxiously.
Beside him, Guan Qingyun also had a frown on his face.
Just two hours ago, under Guan Xiujing's guidance, he finally realized the mystery of the Qiankun Life and Death Seal. It was not until then that he realized that what the Guan family had in their hands was actually only one of the five remaining seals of the Qiankun Life and Death Seal. However, even if it was only a remaining seal, its power made him extremely excited. With this remaining seal, he had enough confidence to defeat Mu Hanyan and force her into a desperate situation.
Seeing that Guan Qingyun comprehended the divine weapon so quickly, Guan Xiujing was naturally relieved. The depressed mood of the father and son for the past few months was swept away, and they even drank a few glasses together.
However, before they had finished their drink, Kong Renhe and others arrived, bringing them a piece of news that made them depressed again: there was still one day before the sacrificial ceremony, but Mu Hanyan had not yet signed up. Judging from her attitude, it seemed that she had no intention of participating at all.
In order to lure Mu Hanyan into the trap, Guan Xiujin gave up the position of right priest that he thought was in his pocket. If Mu Hanyan did not participate, he would lose both his wife and his army. How could they not be anxious?
"That's impossible. We have all seen how arrogant Mu Hanyan is. How could she be scared like this?" Kong Renhe shook his head.
"Father, how about I go and find out the truth?" Guan Qingyun took the initiative to say.
"Okay, you ask around first, and we'll think of a solution." Seeing his son taking the initiative to share his worries, Guan Xiu Jin felt even more relieved and his mood improved a lot.
Soon, Guan Qingyun knocked on Mu Hanyan's door again.
"Why are you here again? What do you want to talk to me about? Tell me quickly. Then leave quickly. I have something important to do." Seeing Guan Qingyun again, Mu Hanyan felt that he was obviously more arrogant than before. She was a little curious, but she didn't ask too much, because she knew that even if she asked, others would not tell her, so she pretended to be impatient and said.
"Uh..." Guan Qingyun was slightly stunned. What does this mean? Why do they want to chase people away as soon as they open the door? Am I, Guan Qingyun, so unwelcome?
Isn't it just a little bit of strength? What's so great about it? Now that I, Guan Qingyun, have comprehended the Qiankun Life and Death Seal, it's easy for me to destroy you! Feeling the contempt and disdain in Mu Hanyan's eyes, Guan Qingyun was even more angry.
But this is the Temple of Life after all, and no one is allowed to act rashly. As the son of the chief priest, he cannot break the law knowingly, so Guan Qingyun still swallowed his anger.
"Master Mu, Master Zhao Xinghong has unfortunately passed away. Master Guan and the other priests have discussed and are planning to hold a ceremony to honor the gods, a competition to determine the new candidate for Right Priest. I've come to inform Master Mu." Even though Guan Qingyun knew Mu Hanyan couldn't hide his father's intentions, he didn't want her to be too alert, so he feigned a friendly demeanor. Someone who didn't know would have thought he and Mu Hanyan had a close relationship.
"I've known about this for a long time." Mu Hanyan yawned and slammed the door shut.
"You know?" Guan Qingyun was originally wondering whether Mu Hanyan was so focused on comprehending the secrets obtained in the Palace of Divine Souls that she had no idea about this matter. Upon hearing this, he became even more confused and quickly stretched out his hand to block the door.
Unfortunately, he was a little slow and his hand was hit by the door.
"Ah!" Guan Qingyun was completely unprepared and immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered. Mu Hanyan even heard the slight sound of bones cracking.
Behind the door, Mu Hanyan almost laughed out loud. Although the door was made of fine iron, Guan Qingyun's strength was not enough to hurt him so badly. However, if she had put more force, the result would have been different.
"Oh, Young Master Guan, are you okay? Why are you so careless? Let me see if you are seriously injured. Is it serious?" Mu Hanyan opened the door, grabbed Guan Qingyun's hand and started rubbing, pinching, and hitting it, with a look of deep concern on her face.
"Ah..." Guan Qingyun realized something was wrong and quickly circulated his spiritual power. The pain had been relieved a lot, but then Mu Hanyan rubbed, pinched, hit and hammered him. He felt a sharp pain piercing his heart and burst into tears. He burst into tears on the spot.
"It's okay, let go, I'm fine." Guan Qingyun used all his strength and finally pulled his hand out from Mu Hanyan's clutches, saying in a cold sweat.
"Are you really okay? I feel like my bones are broken." Mu Hanyan said seriously.
