After all, the elder's order is still in the clan family. It can be found with a careful search. At that time, it is nothing more than some punishment. But if the supreme elder's order has left the clan family and is too far away to be sensed even by the supreme elder, that would be a huge disaster.
Even if these guards were killed, it would be difficult to quell the anger of the Grand Elder.
After hearing his words, Mu Hanyan's heart sank to the bottom, and she wanted to curse at the Supreme Elder: We use blood as a bond, and you use blood as a bond for a broken token, do you think your life is too long?
When a divine artifact recognizes its master, it usually forms a bond through blood. After this, the artifact and its master become connected in spirit, as evidenced by the jade pendant transformed from the star disk that Mu Hanyan wore on her chest. Because the artifact itself possesses spirituality, using blood as a bond does not harm the master in the slightest.
Ordinary alchemy tools can also establish blood contracts. While they cannot achieve telepathic communication, they can still sense each other. However, because such alchemy tools themselves have no spirituality, establishing a blood contract is extremely costly to the tool owner, at best significantly reducing strength, and at worst shortening lifespan.
The Supreme Elder's Order was in Mu Hanyan's room. It was obvious at first glance that it was not a divine weapon. The Supreme Elder had actually used blood as a covenant, which must have been a considerable price he had paid. He might have shortened his life by a few years.
Of course, Mu Hanyan just muttered a few words. She also knew that the Supreme Elder used blood as a covenant for a reason.
There is only one Supreme Elder Order in the Mu clan, and it is said to have been passed down since the founding of the clan. It is at least hundreds of thousands of years old. Although it is not a divine artifact, it is of extraordinary significance.
If the Patriarch's Order symbolizes the supreme authority of the clan, then the Supreme Elder's Order symbolizes the clan's profound heritage and past glory.
If the order of the Supreme Elder is lost, the reputation of the clan will be greatly damaged. Not to mention Anyun Kingdom, even the wealthy families in other countries will laugh their heads off.
It is only natural that the Supreme Elder would not hesitate to sacrifice his strength or even his lifespan in exchange for a blood pact.
Of course, this is not what Mu Hanyan is concerned about now. What she is most worried about now is that the order of the Supreme Elder is in her room and she can’t hide it even if she wants to.
What a shame, she got back a little late. The Supreme Elder's Order wasn't a divine artifact after all. Even if there was a blood bond and mutual intuition, it couldn't compare to a divine artifact. If she had discovered it earlier and had someone take the Supreme Elder's Order out of the city, the Supreme Elder would have been out of reach. If she left now, it would be too late.
There are guards guarding outside the doors of each house. At this time, no matter who it is, as long as there is the slightest movement, it is equivalent to confessing.
Mu Hanyan was a little depressed, but soon felt relieved. The two familiar figures appeared in her mind again. Obviously, the others had calculated the timing and waited until they returned home to start the attack, leaving her no time to respond. Even if they had returned earlier, the result would have been the same.
"Thank you both for your hard work. You must keep a strict watch and never let the Supreme Elder leave the Mu Mansion." Mu Hanyan forced herself to calm down, gave an order to the guards, and closed the gate.
Hua Yue and the others also heard the guard's words, and their faces were solemn.
"How could this happen? It doesn't make sense." Jiang Yuzhe shook his head and frowned.
As a member of a large family, Jiang Yuzhe had seen many intrigues among his fellow clansmen and was keenly aware that this matter was not that simple.
Huayue and Zirong were both very thoughtful, and there was some confusion and worry in their eyes when they looked at Mu Hanyan.
"This matter is indeed not that simple." Mu Hanyan said.
Although her expression remained calm, she couldn't conceal the worry in her eyes. No one had dared to come to her yet, but she was running out of time.
This is the biggest crisis she has faced since her rebirth.
Even when facing the mysterious and powerful figures of the Temple, or even masters like Zhao Yuanji, Mu Hanyan had never felt as powerless as she did now. No matter how strong her opponent was, she was determined to fight. Even if it meant a near-death struggle, at worst, she would choose to perish together. In short, she would not sit back and wait for death.
But now, Mu Hanyan was completely helpless. The perpetrators were already in the act, and it was impossible to explain it in a few words.
As for taking action, Mu Hanyan hadn't even considered it. While no one suspected her yet, it wasn't impossible for her to fight her way out of the Mu Mansion, but what would she be able to do after escaping?
Betraying one's family, betraying one's teacher, and destroying one's ancestors were taboos on the Holy Court Continent. If she did so, she would be making an enemy of the entire Holy Court Continent. Even if she fled to the Divine Continent, others might not tolerate her. Furthermore, for the sake of her grandfather, parents, and brother, she could not escape.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Mu Hanyan frowned and thought hard.
She didn't tell Huayue and the others about this because she knew they couldn't do anything about it and telling them would only add to their troubles.
Mu Hanyan didn't say it, but that doesn't mean Hua Yue and others couldn't guess it.
Following her, they have experienced many ups and downs. Even in life-and-death moments, they have never seen such anxiety in Mu Hanyan's eyes.
Several people guessed something at the same time and looked at each other.
"Sir, if anything happens, just blame me." Hua Yue still had a cold look on her face and said to Mu Hanyan.
"No, you haven't taken revenge yet, so let me do it." Zirong said.
"You haven't found your fiancée yet, so just take care of your own business first." Hua Yue glared at him and said.
"I can't help with that matter anyway, so let you take care of it." Zirong said lightly, but her eyes were unusually determined.
"Stop arguing. After all, I am a member of the Jiang family. If it comes to me, I have to consider the Buddha's face. You may not be able to do anything to me. Let me do it." Jiang Yuzhe grinned and looked heartless.
"Idiot, if others don't give face to the monk or the Buddha, not only you but also your family will be in trouble. Get out of here." Zirong rolled her eyes and said unhappily.
"How dare you call me an idiot? Draw your sword, whoever wins will come." Jiang Yuzhe was furious and said while holding the hilt of the sword.
"Draw the sword if you want. Am I afraid of you?" Zirong drew the sword without hesitation.
"Stop arguing. You can't handle this." Mu Hanyan looked at the people in front of her with moist eyes.
She knew the consequences if Huayue and the others took on this matter, and they themselves must have known that being torn into pieces by a thousand swords would be the least of their trouble. Yet, they didn't hesitate at all. How could she not be moved by such loyalty and perseverance?
However, she also knew that this was not something they could handle. Even if they stepped forward, they would still be held responsible in the end.
"Do you want me to take action?" Ye Lanxuan looked at Mu Hanyan steadily and asked.
