Mu Hanyan and the others were stunned, staring at the old man like a monster. Was his brain completely muddled? He couldn't even figure out something so simple. It was simply impossible for the three high priests, whose status was second only to the chief priest, to rebel simultaneously. The only possibility was that Guan Xiujin was simply lying and misrepresenting right and wrong. Yet, he still believed Guan Xiujin's words without a doubt, convinced that they were rebelling.
Even if my brain is full of confusion, I'm probably still clearer than him.
"Yes, yes, fortunately I met a senior, otherwise I really wouldn't have a good way to deal with them." Guan Xiujing didn't expect Du Tiancheng to be so gullible. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and complimented him.
"Forget it. I originally wanted to execute these rebellious criminals on the spot, but since their status is not low, it is not easy for me to kill them. I will subdue them first and leave them to you to deal with." Du Tiancheng said.
"Thank you very much for your help, senior. I will report this matter to the Lord God and ask for reward on his behalf." Guan Xiu Jin said with great joy. He was a little worried that Du Tiancheng would slap Mu Hanyan to death without knowing the truth.
He must kill Mu Hanyan to avenge his beloved son, but before killing her, he must also retrieve the Five-Colored Soul Orb and the Liu family's sacred beast.
"That's not necessary. Didn't I say it before? We will be a family from now on. Don't say such awkward words." Du Tiancheng waved his hand and said.
"The sky and the earth are boundless, the sea is endless!" He slapped Mu Hanyan and others again.
This time, countless divine lights flickered and fluttered, among which were flashes of rune light and shadow, forming a barrier restriction.
Inside the barrier, the surroundings suddenly became vast and boundless. Looking up, the figures of Guan Xiujin and others became hazy and illusory. They were clearly right in front of me, but seemed to be far away in the horizon.
"Not good!" Mu Hanyan felt instinctively uneasy, and rushed out while gripping the Hanxiao Sword tightly.
However, his body seemed to be stuck in an invisible quagmire, and every step he took was extremely difficult. Around him, Yue Tianlun and others were also unable to move forward.
Then, Du Tiancheng waved his arm gently, and the hazy figures of Guan Xiujin and the others soared into the air, escaping the barrier. Mu Hanyan and her group were the only ones left inside the barrier. Gao Weilong, along with Jiang Ruchu and Kong Renhe, who had arrived later, were also trapped.
"Brother." No one stopped him. Gao Weihu walked over to Gao Weilong with difficulty and helped him up.
"Weihu, you did a good job, really, very good. I have kept it from you for so many years and you have suffered." Gao Weilong looked at Gao Weihu, a relieved smile appeared on his pale face.
"Brother, let's stop talking for now. Healing is more important." Gao Weihu also guessed that there was actually another hidden story behind the brothers' killing each other over the years, but now was obviously not the time to get to the bottom of it. He took out the pill and gave it to Gao Weilong to take, while injecting spiritual power into him to help him catalyze the pill's power.
"I'm afraid it will be too late if I don't say it." Gao Weilong said with a wry smile.
Du Tiancheng cast such a barrier not just to trap them. By the time he really took action, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to say what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, Du Tiancheng pressed down with his palm, and rays of divine light penetrated the restriction and fell on their heads.
"Wait, stop, stop now, senior, you are wrong, Guan Xiujing is talking nonsense, we did not commit any rebellion, it was him..." Kong Renhe was so scared that his face changed drastically and he shouted in a cold sweat.
He was already far inferior to his opponent in strength, and now he was restricted in his movements by the barrier. How could he possibly withstand the power of Du Tiancheng's magic?
Unfortunately, Du Tiancheng had a preconceived notion and believed Guan Xiujing's words without a doubt, so why would he pay any attention to him?
In just a blink of an eye, the divine light had already reached their heads. The powerful authority of the Soul Priest made it almost impossible for everyone to raise their heads.
Not only Kong Renhe, but also Jiang Ruchu, Yue Tianlun and others were sweating profusely.
Mu Hanyan gripped the Hanxiao Sword tightly, thinking that she could keep the secret today, but looking at the situation, she had to use all her strength.
"Boom!" Just when Mu Hanyan was about to attack with all her strength without reservation, a huge hammer suddenly appeared out of nowhere and smashed heavily on the barrier.
Rays of light suddenly rippled out, and Du Tiancheng was caught off guard, and a crack more than two feet wide was blasted into the barrier.
A tall and strong old man with long hair and beard appeared in his eyes.
"Father!" Gao Weilong and Gao Weihu cheered in surprise at the same time.
The person who came was none other than their father, the chief of the twelve punishment priests of the Temple of Life: Gao Pengcheng.
"Go!" Gao Pengcheng glanced at them, his gaze lingered briefly on Mu Hanyan, he gave her a meaningful look, and shouted loudly.
"Let's go!" At such a critical moment, Mu Hanyan certainly would not act coyly. She led everyone out of the barrier and rushed towards the formation point not far away.
Although it was the first time she met Gao Pengcheng, Mu Hanyan vaguely understood the meaning of his look: Don't reveal your true strength!
Could it be that he also knew her true identity? In such a hurry, she had no time to think carefully, but of course, not revealing her true strength was the best option.
"Senior, stop them quickly." Guan Xiu Jin shouted anxiously.
He was about to subdue Mu Hanyan and the others, but Gao Pengcheng showed up again. He slapped himself hard in frustration.
I should have thought of it long ago. Since Gao Weilong and Mu Hanyan are in cahoots, how could Gao Pengcheng stay out of it? Without his instructions, how dare Gao Weilong plot against me like this?
He was talking about going to Qingning City, and he probably didn't go too far away from the Temple of Life at all. He was just looking for a pretext to make it easier for Gao Weilong to act. After all, with him around, the things Gao Weilong did were unacceptable.
"Looking for death!" Before he could open his mouth, Du Tiancheng rushed towards Gao Pengcheng angrily.
It was a great shame for a dignified soul priest to have his barrier broken by a lower-level temple priest. If he rescued Mu Hanyan and others from under his nose, he would be completely ashamed to face people.
"The stone breaks the sky, and the thunder breaks nine times!" Seeing Du Tiancheng's murderous eyes, Gao Pengcheng was not afraid at all, and smashed the giant hammer out again.
"A grain of light dares to compete with the sun and the moon!" Seeing that Gao Pengcheng actually dared to take the initiative to attack and challenge his authority as a soul priest, Du Tiancheng was even more furious and slapped him with a palm without mercy.
The power of the laws exploded violently, and the entire space seemed to solidify in an instant.
"Be careful!" Mu Hanyan, Gao Weilong and Gao Weihu, who were setting up the teleportation formation, shouted at the same time.
