In fact, the distance was still far, but Mu Hanyan's figure had already been deeply imprinted in the hearts of every citizen of Huayu City, so just by relying on that hazy figure, he still recognized who the person was.
"The High Priest is back! The High Priest is back!" Soon, the news spread throughout the city like wings.
Countless people rushed to tell each other and poured into the streets happily. An Xiaxin, Sikong Qinglan and others also rushed out of the city to welcome them as quickly as possible.
Stepping onto that familiar ground again, looking at the crowds gathered on both sides of the street, the joy on their faces, and the tears in their eyes, Mu Hanyan's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
In their eyes, Mu Hanyan saw not only love, but also longing, concern, trust, and even deep dependence, which was an emotion like that of family members.
No matter what happens in the future, no one can harm these simple people. I will protect this land with my life. Mu Hanyan swore silently in her heart.
Soon, Mu Hanyan returned to the Huayu Temple accompanied by An Xiaxin and others.
"I heard the head priest is back!" As soon as they entered the temple, they saw hundreds of priests filing out, walking quickly and excitedly. Leading the group were Gao Weilong, Jiang Ruchu, and Kong Renhe, with Yue Tianlun and Zhou Shucheng also among them.
"Congratulations, sir, for succeeding the position of the chief priest. I, Gao Weilong, am here to pay my respects to you, sir!" Gao Weilong was surprised and delighted when he saw Mu Hanyan, and he quickly bowed to salute.
Mu Hanyan had originally traveled to the Lesser God Heaven to meet with the Divine Lord in order to legitimately ascend to the position of Right Priestess. However, before she even returned, the decree from the Main Divine Temple had spread to all the other Divine Temples, declaring her to have replaced Guan Xiujin as the Priestess of Life. Gao Weilong was naturally overjoyed. Since the Divine Lord had appointed Mu Hanyan as the Priestess of Life, her identity was naturally hidden from the Divine Lord, and this was the most gratifying thing for them.
However, he didn't know that Mu Hanyan had not concealed the truth from the Lord God. He had long known Mu Hanyan's origin and identity. As for why he let her go so easily and appointed her as the chief priest of life, only he knew.
"Your subordinate Jiang Ruchu (Kong Renhe) pays homage to the chief priest!" Jiang Ruchu and Kong Renhe also stepped forward to pay their respects.
Compared to Gao Weilong, the two of them were filled with emotion. When they joined forces with Guan Xiujing to fight against Mu Hanyan, who could have imagined that one day she would replace Guan Xiujing and become the chief priest of life. Fortunately, they woke up in time and reconciled with Mu Hanyan, otherwise they would most likely be thrown into the Divine Punishment Priest like Guan Xiujing, suffer punishment, and be unable to take a single step forward for the rest of their lives, with no one knowing when they lost their lives.
"Where have you been?" Mu Hanyan noticed that Gao Weilong and the others were exhausted and still had a strong murderous aura on their faces, so she asked curiously.
"Tianfeng City was previously invaded by undead puppets. We went to provide assistance and have just returned." Gao Weilong explained.
"So it was you who attacked just now!" Mu Hanyan suddenly realized that the masters who had attacked just now were Gao Weilong and others. She had been thinking about it for a long time.
At this time, hundreds of old men filed out from the teleportation array inside the temple, and saluted Mu Hanyan when they saw her.
"Who are you, sirs?" Mu Hanyan returned the greeting, looking at them with confusion. These people were unfamiliar; she didn't recognize any of them. The only thing she could confirm was that all of them were at or above the seventh-order Divine Heart Priest. Such strength would be considered impressive even for a lesser-ranked priest family. Most importantly, there weren't just one or two of them, but hundreds.
