"Mu Hanyan, don't be too proud too soon. I will repay you the shame of Huayu City with interest today!" Guan Qingyun's expression froze, and then he said angrily.
"Tsk, just relying on your strength as a sixth-rank Divine Heart Priest?" Mu Hanyan chuckled and said contemptuously.
"The strength of a sixth-level Divine Heart Priest is indeed far inferior to yours, but since I dare to come up, I must be confident. You underestimate me, Guan Qingyun, and my Guan family. Today, you will know what the end will be if you dare to despise my Guan family." Guan Qingyun roared.
"Clang!" The long sword was unsheathed, and as Guan Qingyun made a few hand gestures, a thousand-foot-long silver cloud rose into the sky, and a powerful and mysterious aura enveloped the entire venue.
"Excalibur!"
"No wonder the High Priest dared to let him participate in the final decisive battle. It turns out that he also has a magic sword in his hand!" There was an exclamation from the audience.
Kong Renhe and others were also shocked. They had seen the sword in Guan Qingyun's hand before. It was called the Youquan Seven-Star Sword. But as far as they knew, although the Youquan Seven-Star Sword was of good quality, it was only on par with the Chengfeng Sword before the Kong family repaired it. It was not a true magic weapon, and it was even incomparable to the Chengfeng Sword after repair. How could it have such a powerful aura?
"In fact, there is an unparalleled secret hidden in my Guan family's Youquan Seven-Star Sword, but our ancestors in the past generations have been unable to comprehend it. Qingyun has been pondering it hard these days and has actually comprehended the mystery. However, he was afraid of arousing Mu Hanyan's vigilance and ruining his plan, so he didn't dare to tell you." Guan Xiujin explained.
"So that's it!" The priest beside him suddenly realized.
"Master Priest, what a great plan, what a great plan." At this moment, Kong Renhe's face flushed, his eyes filled with anger, and he clapped his hands sarcastically.
For others, Guan Qingyun's comprehension of the mystery of the Youquan Seven-Star Sword can only benefit them. After all, no one can deal with Mu Hanyan, so they have to rely on him. But for Kong Renhe, it is a big loss.
It was not until then that he finally understood why Guan Xiu Jin had arranged for him to fight Mu Hanyan in advance. The purpose was to use him to consume Mu Hanyan's strength and pave the way for Guan Qingyun's final battle.
Unfortunately, he was kept in the dark, thinking that Guan Xiujin was impatient and had brought the decisive battle forward. In order to seize the position of Right Priest beforehand, he almost risked his life. Not only was he seriously injured in the battle, but even his ancestral sword, the Wind-Riding Sword, was destroyed.
The more Kong Renhe thought about it, the angrier he became. He looked at Guan Xiujing with fire in his eyes.
"Lord Kong, we are doing this for the Temple of Life, for the future of you and me, and for the future of all the major families. You are loyal to the Temple of Life, and I will not let you suffer in vain. When we get back the batch of five-colored soul beads and reward you according to your merits, I will definitely not treat you unfairly." Guan Xiu Jin said lightly without any shame.
If the Kong family's Chengfeng Sword had not been destroyed, it would still pose some threat to him. But now, he would not take Kong Renhe seriously and just sent him away casually.
"Yes, Master Kong, the greater good is more important. Let's just leave it at that. The High Priest made this arrangement for the sake of the temple and everyone else. When the time comes to retrieve the Five-Colored Soul Orbs, we'll give you more." Several other high priests also spoke up to persuade him. They certainly understood what was going on, but it wasn't their own sword that was destroyed, so it was none of their business.
Kong Renhe looked at them with a sad face. He was plotted against and the Kong family's ancestral Chengfeng Sword was destroyed. However, Guan Xiujing didn't feel any guilt at all. He just said a few words and gave him a few colorful soul beads to send him away. The others didn't even have any brotherhood and actually advised him to keep quiet.
Kong Renhe's heart felt cold and full of regret, but it was too late to regret now.
On the competition stage, Mu Hanyan's eyes also showed a hint of surprise.
This was not the first time she had seen the Youquan Seven-Star Sword, and she had even fought with it before. But how could the Youquan Seven-Star Sword at that time have such a powerful and mysterious aura?
Could it be that this sword contains a secret that Guan Qingyun has only recently comprehended?
No, that's absolutely not the case! Possessing such a powerful aura, the Nether Spring Seven Star Sword must be a divine weapon no less powerful than the Wind Riding Sword. However, she didn't sense the spiritual power of the divine sword, nor did she feel any sensation from the Cold Sky Sword at her waist.
It was that aura that gave her a sense of familiarity.
Or, this powerful and mysterious energy does not come from the Youquan Seven-Star Sword itself, but from other divine artifacts?
Mu Hanyan focused her eyesight and concentrated her mind, carefully examining the long sword in Guan Qingyun's hand.
Suddenly, her eyes stopped at the hilt of the sword that Guan Qingyun was holding tightly. Peering through the thin gaps between his fingers, she could see that the hilt seemed to be inlaid with something, and that the familiar aura must have been released from it.
What is inlaid on the hilt of this sword?
"Mu Hanyan, take my sword!" Just when Mu Hanyan was puzzled, Guan Qingyun roared, swung his sword, and used magic to attack Mu Hanyan. The powerful and mysterious aura rushed towards Mu Hanyan like a volcanic eruption.
In an instant, Mu Hanyan suddenly remembered why this aura seemed so familiar.
Qiankun Seal of Life and Death! Mu Hanyan almost cried out in shock.
It turned out that the Guan family was another priest family that had to flee from Xiaoshentian because of heavy casualties in the fight for the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death.
No wonder she and Gao Weihu tried every possible means but couldn't find out the whereabouts of the broken seal. With the Guan family's power in the Temple of Life, how could any news leak out?
Mu Hanyan did not make a sound, because the next moment, the powerful aura had completely enveloped her, like an invisible cage, imprisoning her inside.
"Hahahaha, Mu Hanyan, now do you know how powerful my Guan family's Youquan Seven-Star Sword is?" Guan Qingyun laughed wildly.
Having been bullied by Mu Hanyan for so long, and even the two times of extortion were handled by him, he was really upset. Today, the day has finally come for him to take revenge and feel proud.
However, in order to keep the Qiankun Life and Death Seal a secret, he didn't reveal the truth. Instead, he used the Nether Spring Seven-Star Sword as a cover, embedding the remaining seal into the hilt for the same purpose. After all, although his understanding of the remaining seal surpassed Guan Xiujin's, and even surpassed any of the Guan family's ancestors, his strength was still a little lacking. If it were exposed too early, it might bring disaster to the Guan family.
Besides, although the competition rules only restricted Mu Hanyan from using protective magic tools, and did not restrict offensive magic tools, it would be somewhat unfair to defeat Mu Hanyan using the Qiankun Life and Death Seal, and they did not want to arouse public outrage again.
"Do you think you can trap me like this?" Mu Hanyan took a deep breath and said contemptuously.
