Before his priests could set off, the news came back: Mu Hanyan was seriously injured and had left the Temple of Life.
"Okay, okay. If she stayed in the Temple of Life, I might have to spend some effort. Now that she's gone, it saves me a lot of trouble." Guan Xiu Jin said with great joy.
He had originally made up his mind that if Mu Hanyan was really seriously injured, he would attack her even at the risk of violating the laws of the temple. Now that she had left the Temple of Life on her own, he would be even more unscrupulous in his attack.
"Let's go and follow them first. We will take action as soon as they are away from the Temple of Life." Guan Xiu Jin ordered.
"Yes, sir." Several trusted priests responded in unison.
Liu Taian and his son were also excited and stood up suddenly. They did not expect that Mu Hanyan would fail in attacking the Soul Priest at this critical moment and was seriously injured. This was their God-given opportunity to defeat Mu Hanyan and take back the Red Thunder Golden Winged Beast.
"Sir, we just received another report. In addition to Gao Weihu, Yue Tianlun and Zhou Shucheng are also accompanying Mu Hanyan." At this moment, Gao Weilong suddenly said.
Although, like Kong Renhe, he had been severely tricked by Guan Xiujin, he had lost to Gao Weihu, not Mu Hanyan, so he probably didn't hold a strong grudge against Guan Xiujin, and he didn't turn against him, still following him around. Of course, if you think about it, there was nothing he could do. Gao Weihu's strength had increased so rapidly and so dramatically that he had been forced into a desperate situation. If he wanted to retain his position as Young Master and inherit the Gao family business, he had no choice but to rely on Guan Xiujin's support. There was no way out.
Hearing Gao Weilong's words, everyone was slightly startled and stopped again.
"Yue Tianlun, Zhou Shucheng, why are they following Mu Hanyan?" Guan Xiujin asked with a frown.
"It is said that he accepted Mu Hanyan's invitation and is preparing to join the Huayu Temple." The priest replied.
"These traitors!" Guan Xiu Jin cursed angrily, but he completely forgot that even if others wanted to be traitors, they had to have food to eat first. The current Temple of Life could not provide the cultivation resources that should be given to others. Not to mention Yue Tianlun and Zhou Shucheng, two priests from lower temples, even some priest families of the Temple of Life were ready to go elsewhere.
"Sir, do we still need to go?" a subordinate asked anxiously.
"Chief Priest Liu, when will your master arrive?" Guan Xiu Jin asked.
Yue Tianlun and Zhou Shucheng have been famous for a long time, and their cultivation is not much worse than his. They have also witnessed Gao Weihu's strength with their own eyes. It is not too difficult for them to defeat the other party, but if the other party is determined to escape, they will not be able to stay.
There is no reasonable explanation for attacking Mu Hanyan this time. It can be said that he is risking his life and property. He is completely going all out and cannot make any mistakes. Once he fails, there will be no second chance, so he cannot act rashly.
"I have already made arrangements. It will arrive in a day or two at most," said Liu Taian.
The Temple of Life and the Temple of Death have teleportation formations, which cannot transport too many people at a time. If it's just a few people, it won't take too much time.
"Then let's wait. I'll arrange for the clan's experts right away." After much deliberation, Guan Xiujin decided to wait until everyone arrived before taking action. Mu Hanyan's injuries were serious, and it would take time to recover, so there was no need to rush.
After waiting for less than a day, five masters of the Liu family arrived at the Temple of Life. Among them were three late-stage tenth-order Divine Heart Priests, two at the peak, and Liu Rande was among them.
Originally, he was frightened by Mu Hanyan and didn't want to come, but the last time he accompanied Liu Qianyuan to the Temple of Life, he caused such a scene, not only did he lose face, but he was also accidentally dragged into the water by Liu Qianyuan, so he had to come whether he wanted to or not.
The Guan family's three late-stage tenth-order divine priests and one peak-level one were already prepared.
"Where is Mu Hanyan now? I hope you haven't lost her?" Guan Xiu Jin asked.
"Reporting to the lord, we have not lost them. They have already reached the ruins of Jiuquan City." A priest replied.
"Okay, let's set off immediately!" Guan Xiujin gave an order and walked out with a group of masters from the Guan and Liu families and several trusted priests.
The group was in high spirits and just as they arrived at the entrance of the hall, they met Jiang Ruchu and Kong Renhe.
Although they had a falling out with Guan Xiu Jin, they both held clerical positions and could not just sit back and do nothing. They had just appeased a group of priests who had carried out their mission but had not received any remuneration, and now they were in a mess again. They had no choice but to come to Guan Xiu Jin again.
At this point, the Temple of Life is definitely unable to hold on. Guan Xiujing refuses to bow to Mu Hanyan, so he can only ask the Main Temple for help. Since the request has to be made to the Main Temple anyway, of course the sooner the better. Otherwise, if the storm gets bigger and bigger, it will be too late for the Main Temple to take action.
"Master Priest, where are you going?" Seeing Guan Xiujing and his group looking aggressive, Jiang Ruchu asked in confusion.
"We have some important business to attend to, so we will be away for a while. I'd like to trouble you two to take care of the affairs of the Temple of Life in the next few days." Guan Xiu Jin then remembered that he had not greeted the two of them yet, so he gave orders in the airs of a chief priest.
"The chief priest seems to be generous and fat, yet he still has important matters to attend to at a time like this." Kong Renhe said sarcastically.
They were all extremely anxious. Guan Xiu Jin actually left the Temple of Life, abandoning all the troubles in the temple. He even suspected that this old guy was going to abandon them and run away.
"Hmph." Since they had already fallen out, Guan Xiu Jin didn't bother to say anything more. He snorted coldly and continued walking out.
"Wait, the chief priest just left without saying anything. How are we going to resolve the issue of the five-colored soul beads? If you don't give an explanation, the priests below will probably make a big fuss." Kong Renhe became more and more worried the more he thought about it. He stretched out his hand to stop him and said to Guan Xiujing.
"Why, are you afraid I'll run away? Don't worry, Qingyun is still recuperating in the temple, and the Guan family is here too. I can escape, but the monk can't." Guan Xiujin glanced at him coldly, and said with a domineering and arrogant look, "Tell the people below that within three days at the latest, I will give them an explanation, and I won't lose a single one of their five-colored soul beads."
After saying that, Guan Xiujin pushed Kong Renhe's hand away and quickly left the temple.
"What are you so arrogant about? Three days, I want to see where you can get so many colorful soul beads in three days?" Kong Renhe had been below Guan Xiujing for many years. He was shocked by the domineering attitude he suddenly displayed. He didn't dare to stop him. He watched him go away and then spat.
