She had known for a long time that Dou Nanshan would come to her sooner or later, so she was mentally prepared.
"How dare you be so rude in front of Lord Dou!" Zhu Xiangchen roared, his voice a bit like adding fuel to the fire. He didn't dare to attack Mu Hanyan. If he could anger Dou Nanshan and slap her to death, that would be the best outcome.
"What's the matter, Master Zhu? You don't dare to do it yourself, so you want to kill someone with someone else's knife?" Mu Hanyan could not help but hear the hint of adding fuel to the fire in his words, and said sarcastically.
After being pointed out by Mu Hanyan, Zhu Xiangchen couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and looked at Dou Nanshan nervously.
Fortunately, Dou Nanshan didn't argue with him. He just looked at Mu Hanyan deeply, nodded, and said, "You really have some courage. No wonder you dare to ignore me, Dou Nanshan. But, do you really think that my Dou family is so easy to bully?"
After saying this, without giving Mu Hanyan a chance to speak, his face became solemn and he shouted sternly, "Mu Hanyan, as the chief priest of Huayu and the new right priest of the Temple of Life, has actually seriously injured multiple priests and abolished their cultivation. This is a blatant violation of the temple's laws. Come, arrest him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dou Changzhi approached Mu Hanyan with a murderous look on his face.
"Wait, Lord Dou, although Mu Hanyan hurt someone from your Dou family, it was your Dou family members who took action first. We in the Ye family all saw it with our own eyes. If we talk about violating the laws of the temple, it was your Dou family members who took action first. Chief Priest Mu is not at fault at all." Ye Congyun stood sideways, blocking Mu Hanyan, and said righteously.
If Dou Nanshan secretly looked for an opportunity to take revenge on Mu Hanyan, he really had no choice. If he could hide, he could hide. If he couldn't, he could only fight to the death. However, Dou Nanshan found such a reason, which was clearly a personal vendetta, so he naturally had to argue with him.
"Really? Why is what I heard different from what you heard?" Dou Nanshan said with a sneer.
"Everything I said is true. If Lord Dou doesn't believe me, all the members of my Ye family are here. You can interrogate them one by one." Ye Congyun said.
"Interrogate them. Of course I will interrogate them. Go ahead and bring them all back to the God's Punishment Prison. Let me interrogate them slowly." Dou Nanshan said heavily.
As soon as these words fell, the expressions of the surrounding clan heads changed. The so-called Divine Punishment Prison was the main prison within the Main Temple, used to imprison priests who committed adultery. However, without a certain level of strength and status, even ordinary priests, even those who committed serious offenses, were ineligible for incarceration. Once inside, there was virtually no hope of escape. Even a Divine Soul Priest couldn't withstand the torment of divine punishment, incinerated by heavenly fire and devoured by soul-destroying thunder. For those of the Lesser God Heaven, the Divine Punishment Prison was a veritable hell.
Mu Hanyan severely injured the Dou family members, and it would have been fine if Dou Nanshan had taken revenge privately, but he imprisoned them in the Divine Punishment Prison on the grounds that they had violated the laws of the Temple. This was clearly a personal revenge, and the method was too cruel. Even though these family heads had already allied themselves with the Zhu family and were not close to Mu Hanyan and the Ye family, they could not help but feel indignant for them.
In fact, with Dou Nanshan's strength and reputation, he didn't need to resort to such means, but they were a step too late. Mu Hanyan had already arrived at the Zhu family. In front of everyone, how could he, as a divine punishment priest, openly seek revenge for no reason?
Of course, he could wait until no one else was around before taking action. After all, no one would need to tell anyone who did it, and he could still save face. But revenge was only one aspect of his plan. Another, and most important, aspect was the Qiankun Life and Death Seal on Mu Hanyan's body. If something happened to Mu Hanyan at the Soul Forging Tower, wouldn't the remnant of the seal fall into the hands of the Zhu family? He didn't want to create any more complications. After all, the Zhu family also had a divinely blessed priest. If it fell into their hands, it would be difficult for him to snatch it away. Furthermore, if the matter became a big deal and alerted the Lord Divine, he might not even have the chance to act.
There was no other way, he could only find a random excuse to subdue Mu Hanyan first.
"Master Dou, as a divine punishment priest, you are actually taking revenge on your own behalf. Is there any justice in the world?" Ye Congyun had no idea about the entanglement in this and angrily shouted out what everyone was thinking.
"I don't know whether Xiaoshentian has justice or not, but here, I, Dou Nanshan, am justice!" Dou Nanshan said with a crazy look on his face, while releasing a terrifying pressure from his body.
Ye Congyun's expression changed, and he even took several steps back under the pressure.
The family heads around were also terrified and lowered their heads involuntarily, not looking at Dou Nanshan again.
Even Mu Hanyan felt her body sink, as if she had become a length shorter. She couldn't help but secretly exclaim in her heart: This old man is so powerful!
Although she had only recently ascended to the Divine Soul realm, Mu Hanyan's transformation was vastly different from that of other Divine Soul priests. Even Dou Changping, who had already reached the pinnacle of transformation, was no match for her in a single blow. Mu Hanyan was also confident in her own abilities, believing that even if she were to meet Dou Nanshan, while she could not defeat him, she would still be able to fight him.
But now, she realized that she had underestimated the true strength of Xiaoshentian. If she hadn't used her sword skills, she might not have had any chance of winning against Dou Nanshan.
However, if he used his sword skills, it would be impossible to hide it from Dou Nanshan's eyes. At that time, no matter how ruthlessly he killed the person, it would not be considered as revenge for personal gain.
Surrender? No, that was absolutely impossible. Attack? Even though there were only four of them, because of Dou Nanshan, if they took action, the result would most likely be the same.
Mu Hanyan felt an unprecedented pressure in her heart.
"What a big tone, you are worthy of being the Priest of Divine Punishment!" At this moment, a slightly low voice sounded, full of sarcasm.
I saw a young man with a broadsword on his back falling with the wind. Although he was sarcastic, his pair of dark eyes like stars were full of anger.
Looking at that familiar face, Mu Hanyan suddenly put aside all her worries and smiled, but there seemed to be a few tears of joy in her eyes.
Fen Qianji, it was actually Fen Qianji.
Seeing Fen Qianji again, Hua Yue and the others were equally delighted. Although they hadn't spent much time together, they had shared life and death together in almost every encounter, fighting the enemy side by side. They had long since considered him a friend for life and death.
However, they knew that now was not the time to recognize each other and reminisce about the past, otherwise it would not only harm themselves, but also Fen Qianji. So they suppressed their inner excitement, and their eyes showed the intimacy and joy of reunion that only Fen Qianji could understand.
