As the saying goes, long illness makes a good doctor. The Kong family has been trying to find a way to repair the Chengfeng Sword for generations. Although they have never succeeded, their descendants have a much better understanding of the art of swordmaking than ordinary people. In terms of knowledge and vision, even many swordsmiths cannot compare with them.
Kong Renhe had heard from his ancestors since he was a child that there was a kind of meteorite gold in this world, called Galaxy Divine Glass Stone. It was not very useful for forging swords or making magical instruments, but it was amazingly effective for repairing magical instruments. As long as one could find the Galaxy Divine Glass Stone and have a decent sword-forging skill, one could repair the Chengfeng Sword.
Liu Taian didn't say much, and directly took out a piece of meteoric gold that was covered with a luminous glow, as if it was a hanging galaxy. It was the legendary Galaxy Divine Glass Stone.
"Galaxy Divine Glass Stone, it really is Galaxy Divine Glass Stone!" Kong Renhe's beard trembled with excitement. He leaned forward and bowed to Liu Taian, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Chief Priest Liu, if you can help repair the Wind-Riding Sword, you will be a great benefactor to our Kong family. This kindness will be remembered by our Kong family for generations, and we will obey your orders without hesitation."
It's no wonder that he was so excited. As long as he could repair the Chengfeng Sword, his combat power would increase rapidly. Not to mention defeating Mu Hanyan and getting the position of right priest, he would even have a great chance of competing for the position of chief priest.
"Master Kong, please don't thank me yet. I'm doing more than just helping you." Liu Taian helped Kong Renhe up and said to everyone in a serious tone, "I don't know why you're trying to make things difficult for Mu Hanyan, and I don't want to ask any more questions. However, I helped you a lot by helping Master Kong repair the Chengfeng Sword. So, after this is done, you must help me retrieve the Liu family's ancestral artifact."
"That's what I should do, it's what I should do." Kong Renhe agreed quickly.
Although the other priests were a little jealous of Kong Renhe for getting such a big bargain, there was nothing they could do. They themselves could not produce any decent artifacts. If they wanted to defeat Mu Hanyan and force her to hand over the five-colored soul beads, they could only rely on Kong Ren's Chengfeng Sword, so they had no objection.
"As long as Chief Priest Liu can repair the Chengfeng Sword and help us deal with Mu Hanyan, we will definitely help you get the artifact back." Guan Xiujing promised without hesitation.
Everyone was a little surprised. If Kong Renhe repaired the Chengfeng Sword, it would threaten his position sooner or later. Although things had their priorities, Guan Xiujing was so indecisive that he didn't even hesitate.
They didn't know that Guan Xiujin had passed the remnant of the Qiankun Life and Death Seal to Guan Qingyun in hopes of returning to Lesser Heaven and restoring the Guan family's former glory. He certainly wouldn't have cared less about the position of Chief Priest. Besides, when Guan Qingyun soared to fame, would Kong Renhe dare accept the position even if it was offered?
After the terms were agreed upon, Liu Taian began to repair the Chengfeng Sword.
Just over an hour later, silver rays of light shot up into the sky from the main sacrificial hall, followed by the sound of Kong Renhe's ecstatic laughter.
"Buzz..." At the same time, Mu Hanyan and Gao Weihu had finished dinner at the restaurant and were about to return to their residence when the Hanxiao sword at their waist suddenly trembled and made a buzzing sound.
"This is..." Gao Weihu looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise.
"The sword's ringing is a warning. It should be that an extraordinary divine sword has appeared out of nowhere." Feeling the warning coming from the Hanxiao Sword, Mu Hanyan looked towards the direction of the Temple of Life.
Although there were many obstructions of the temple, Mu Hanyan's powerful divine sense and sharp eyes still keenly noticed the silver sword light that quickly dissipated in the sky.
"You mean, they have a peerless divine weapon in their hands?" Gao Weihu looked at Mu Hanyan and said thoughtfully.
"The position of the right priest, they dare to put out such a big bait, how could they not have any support at all." Mu Hanyan said lightly.
"Will there be any accidents?" Gao Weihu said with some concern.
"What do you think?" Mu Hanyan blinked, her expression still so confident and calm.
Gao Weihu scratched the back of his head and grinned habitually.
It’s just a peerless divine weapon. They have it, and Mu Hanyan also has it, but Mu Hanyan also has the four major laws that are integrated into one. Do they have it?
It would be better if this magic sword is not used. If it is used, some people will probably suffer again.
The next day, at the hour of Chen, the melodious and ancient bell sounds once again spread throughout the City of Life.
The second round of the priest competition for this sacrificial ceremony has begun.
Mu Hanyan walked towards the competition stage. A tall, middle-aged priest also walked slowly towards her opposite.
This time, there was no booing from the audience.
The middle-aged priest opposite was named Duan Mingzhi, and he was a chief wine priest under the left priest Jiang Ruchu. Because the Temple of Life was so large, the status of this chief wine priest was far more than that of a chief wine priest in a lower temple. He held real power and was considered one of the high priests with divine duties.
However, compared with other high priests, Duan Mingzhi is still young and not too strong. If they really fight, he may not be able to beat Yue Tianlun, Zhou Shucheng and others. Therefore, others can find no reason to question the draw this time.
"Master Priest, there seems to be something wrong with your arrangement of this drawing of lots." While others had no reason to question it, Kong Renhe was puzzled. By the way, this time, the drawing of lots would no longer be decided by Kong Renhe, but by Guan Xiujin himself.
"What's wrong? Your arrangement yesterday was intentionally too obvious and almost caused chaos. You must not make the same mistake again today. In the first game, let Mu Hanyan have a taste of sweetness to shut up the people below." Guan Xiu Jin squinted at him and said.
"That's not what I meant, Your Excellency. It's okay to let Mu Hanyan have a little advantage in the first competition, but according to this draw, won't I meet Mu Hanyan in the second round?" Kong Renhe explained.
Yesterday's incident had indeed been a bit of a commotion; a proper priest competition had nearly turned into a farce. So, he had no objection to Guan Xiujin letting Mu Hanyan have a taste of success in the first match to silence the others. However, according to his expectations, he should have faced Mu Hanyan in the final match, a decisive battle. So why had Guan Xiujin arranged for him to face Mu Hanyan in the second match?
"Anyway, your Chengfeng Sword has been repaired and is as good as new. Defeating Mu Hanyan is a foregone conclusion. The sooner we deal with her, the sooner we can feel at ease." Guan Xiujin said with emotion, stroking his long beard.
Kong Renhe was relieved. The High Priest had been extremely anxious these days and was unwilling to wait any longer. The sooner Mu Hanyan was dealt with, the sooner he could feel at ease.
Anyway, with the Chengfeng Sword in hand, no one can compete with him. This competition with Mu Hanyan can be regarded as an early decisive battle! Thinking of this, Kong Renhe didn't care.
At this moment, he had no idea that Guan Xiu Jin made such arrangements entirely for Guan Qingyun.
