However, what puzzled Mu Hanyan was that the Ye family was, after all, a priest family of Lesser God Heaven. How could Ye Congyun, as the great elder, have such little strength?
"I was injured in my early years and has never recovered." Seeing Mu Hanyan's confusion, Ye Congyun explained.
It turned out to be due to an injury. Mu Hanyan finally understood. Ye Congyun was probably highly respected in the Ye family, so even though he was injured, it wouldn't affect his position as the Grand Elder. The other elders should be quite capable.
As he spoke, Mu Hanyan had already ridden on the back of Taotie. Ye Congyun did not hesitate and followed suit.
Taotie rolled his eyes again, but he was just saying it casually to cover up his identity. This old man really treated him as a pet and was not polite to him at all.
"The overall situation is more important!" Mu Hanyan saw the guy's dissatisfaction and whispered a reminder in his ear.
"Okay, the overall situation is more important, the overall situation is more important." Taotie could only comfort himself in this way, carrying the two of them and continuing to fly forward.
…
In Xiaoshentian, an ancient house is located halfway up the mountain. From a distance, it gives people a sense of antiquity and majesty. This is the Dou family. Its head is Dou Nanshan, one of the twelve divine priests who also serves as a divine punishment priest.
The atmosphere among the Dou family was heavy. Both the members and servants remained silent, not daring to utter a single word. Not long ago, Du Tiancheng had been brought back gravely injured, along with Guan Qingyun and Guan Xiujin, who were also seriously injured. Also brought back were a dozen or so bodies, rumored to be the bodies of elders from the Guan and Liu families of the Five Supreme God Temples.
Of course, the Guan and Liu families would not be taken seriously by the Dou family, and their life or death was none of their business. However, Du Tiancheng was the registered disciple of the head of the family and a guest of the Dou family, and Guan Qingyun was his direct disciple. They were actually beaten and seriously injured. This was a serious matter.
Everyone in the world knows that Dou Nanshan is very concerned about his reputation and is the most protective of his shortcomings! I don’t know who is so bold as to dare to touch the Tai Sui head!
"Mu Hanyan, Mu Hanyan, she is so bold. She is just the chief priest of Huayu and the right priest of the Temple of Life, but she dares to hurt the children of my Dou family!" Soon, Dou Nanshan's roar was heard in the inner courtyard.
Everyone then realized that the person who dared to tamper with the Tai Sui was named Mu Hanyan. Although no one dared to speak out, everyone could see the gloating in each other's eyes: This Mu Hanyan, dead!
"I am incompetent and have brought shame to Master. Please punish me." Du Tiancheng knelt on the ground and said with a look of shame and anger.
After all, he was a master at the level of Soul Priest. Taotie's violent attack did not destroy his cultivation. However, his injuries were not light. While he was talking, he spat out blood foam from time to time.
"Get up! Tell me what's going on." An old man with a flowing beard and a dignified demeanor waved his hand and tossed him a pill. Needless to say, this old man was Dou Nanshan.
"Thank you for your gift, Master." Du Tiancheng quickly took the pill, swallowed it, and recounted what had happened in detail.
"You mean, Mu Hanyan is accompanied by an extremely ferocious beast that is ninety percent similar to the legendary Taotie? Are you seeing things?" Dou Nanshan asked in surprise after hearing Du Tiancheng's words.
The four great beasts, including the Taotie, had disappeared for nearly a million years. How could they possibly reappear in the world? He even suspected that Du Tiancheng had fabricated the story out of fear of angering him.
"What I said is all true. Junior Brother Guan and the others also saw it with their own eyes. However, its strength is far inferior to the legendary Taotie, otherwise I would not have been able to save my life. If I am not mistaken, it is very likely that it is some kind of strange beast with Taotie blood that has reverted to its ancestral form and mutated. It has been hiding in the sacrificial space to practice, and has only recently achieved success in its practice." Seeing what Dou Nanshan was suspicious about, Du Tiancheng quickly expressed his guess. As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards Guan Qingyun and Guan Xiujing.
"Brother, what you said is the truth. The ferocious beast is indeed ninety percent similar to the Taotie beast in the portrait." Guan Qingyun said weakly.
In fact, Taotie didn't take him seriously at all. He felt that killing him would be a loss to his status as a boastful master. The slap was not heavy, but he had just recovered from a serious injury. How could he withstand such a fatal palm? His meridians were directly broken and his qi sea ruptured. If he hadn't been rescued in time and taken the elixir, he would have died long ago.
However, although he saved his life, he could not preserve his cultivation. When he spoke, his face was full of sadness.
"Senior Du is right," Guan Xiujin echoed, his expression equally gloomy. Like his beloved son, his cultivation was completely ruined.
"Well, your guess makes sense. The four ferocious beasts have disappeared for millions of years and are probably no longer in the world. Even if they are still there, they can never be used by Mu Hanyan. They are probably the offspring of the hybridization of Taotie and other exotic beasts. After generations of reproduction, they have reverted to their ancestral form and have acquired some of the talents of Taotie. Mu Hanyan is quite lucky." With the testimony of Xiu Jin and his son, Dou Nanshan no longer doubted Du Tiancheng's words, and at the same time confirmed his guess.
If the Great Master Chuihuo knew that others had guessed blindly and came to the same conclusion as Mu Hanyan's casual talk, confirming his identity as a bastard, I wonder how angry he would be?
"Qingyun, how is your injury?" Dou Nanshan's anger finally subsided a little, and he asked Guan Qingyun again.
"Master, please help me." When asked about his injury, Guan Qingyun couldn't help but feel sad and wailed in tears.
"Don't cry first. Mu Hanyan is so arrogant that she even dared to hurt my Dou family's disciples. I will definitely seek justice for you." Dou Nanshan seemed to be very fond of this disciple. He patted his shoulder gently and said kindly.
Seeing Dou Nanshan's solemn face, Guan Qingyun was even more moved. Not only did she not stop crying, but she cried even more passionately.
"Dou...Senior Dou, is Qingyun's injury curable?" Guan Xiu Jin asked nervously and anxiously.
He himself is useless, but Guan Qingyun is his only hope and reliance, and he doesn't want him to end up like himself.
"Don't worry, Qingyun is my, Dou Nanshan's, closed disciple. I will definitely heal your injuries." Dou Nanshan said firmly.
"Thank you, senior!" Not only Guan Qingyun, but even Guan Xiujing was moved to tears.
Qingyun is so lucky to have such a famous teacher.
"By the way, you should stay in Xiaoshentian to recuperate during this period of time, and don't worry about the affairs of the Temple of Life." Dou Nanshan continued.
