Putting aside the grudge between her and Gu Huangji, Fen Qianji was framed by him and trapped in Luoshen Abyss, where he almost lost his life. Mu Hanyan hated him to the core, so how could she forget him?
No wonder there was a magic mixed in with the sword skills of Jiang Yunhe and others. I originally thought that the God Servant Clan had stayed in the Black Wood Prison for too long and had learned the priest magic by some chance. It turned out that I was overthinking it. The magic was clearly from the hand of Gu Huangji.
"It's you!" Mu Hanyan said gritting her teeth.
"It's not me!" Gu Huangji said subconsciously.
The reason why he appeared in the Black Wood Prison was that when he was returning to the Continent of Gods from the North Abyss Mist Source, he encountered a void storm, which caused the space channel to distort. He accidentally fell on the mountain where the Phoenix Nirvana Fire was located and was seriously injured.
You must know that the hiding place of the Phoenix Nirvana Fire is extremely secret. The reason why Zhan Yuan was able to find it was because he knew about it a long time ago. If Mu Hanyan had not had Taotie leading the way, it would have been difficult for her to find it. It was really a coincidence that he happened to fall here.
Jiang Yunhe and others arrived earlier than him. Seeing him suddenly appear and fall right next to the Phoenix Nirvana Fire, they mistakenly thought that he was also a descendant of the God's Servant Clan who was stranded on the God's Continent, so they rescued him.
To heal his wounds, and also out of curiosity (or perhaps even a desire) for the Phoenix Nirvana Flame, Gu Huangji decided to save the day, claiming to be a descendant of the Divine Servant Clan, and hiding it from Jiang Yunhe and the others, allowing him to stay. After all, so many years had passed, and they had experienced so many twists and turns, Jiang Yunhe and the others knew very little about the Divine Servant Clan. How could they possibly suspect a fellow tribesman stranded on the Divine Continent? Even if they had some initial suspicions, he evaded them with vague explanations.
Afterwards, Gu Huangji learned about the legend of Zhan Yuan, but he didn't take it seriously. Even if Zhan Yuan was very powerful nearly a million years ago, after experiencing reincarnation, how could he still have the same strength as before?
In his opinion, it would be better if Zhan Yuan didn't show up. If he did, it might be a godsend for him.
Because Jiang Yunhe and others were keeping a close watch on him, he had never had the chance to get the Phoenix Nirvana Fire. If Zhan Yuan showed up, wouldn't he have the opportunity to take action?
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. It wasn't until Zhan Yuan appeared that he realized how naive his thoughts were and how powerful Zhan Yuan was. With just one sword strike, they were defeated miserably. They had no chance of competing with him at all.
He should have escaped at this time, but thinking about the consequences if Zhan Yuan obtained the Phoenix Nirvana Fire, he stayed.
The Divine Blessed Priest's loyalty to the Lord and the Divine Continent was no less than that of the Holy See Saints. It was precisely for this reason that the Lord placed such high hopes on him that he sent him to the Divine Continent. At this moment, how could he possibly abandon Zhan Yuan and escape on his own?
When he saw Mu Hanyan appear, he was still hoping to join forces with her to repel Zhan Yuan. Unfortunately, this time, he was seriously injured and he didn't have the strength to escape even if he wanted to.
Later, Ye Lanxun arrived and defeated Zhan Yuan with unstoppable force. He knew that he had no chance to escape anymore.
Looking at Mu Hanyan, Gu Huangji's heart was in his throat, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he prayed silently: She must not remember me...
Unfortunately, Mu Hanyan values her friends more than her own life, so how could she not remember him?
"Swish!" Mu Hanyan drew out the Hanxiao Sword again.
"Plop!" Gu Huangji's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.
He was already seriously injured and his blood circulation was poor, and he was also extremely nervous and frightened. His body and mind had been pushed to the limit.
No way, this is one of the Twelve Blessed Priests, how could he not be frightened! Seeing that she hadn't made a move yet, just by flicking her sword, she had frightened Gu Huangji like this, Mu Hanyan was speechless.
"Sir?" Jiang Yunhe and the others were shocked. Didn't Mu Hanyan say that she didn't care about the past? Why would she attack their God Servant Clan?
"You don't know his true identity yet, right? He is one of the twelve blessed priests of the temple, Gu Huangji!" Mu Hanyan saw their confusion and fear and explained.
"So that's how it is. It seems that he is not a descendant of the God's Servants who drifted to the Continent of God. He deceived us all before." Jiang Yunhe and the others suddenly realized.
In fact, with their experience, they should not have been so easily deceived by Gu Huangji. However, the Phoenix Nirvana Fire was too mysterious, and their experience of coming here was too bizarre, so they never thought that someone would come here by coincidence, and they believed Gu Huangji's words preconceivedly.
After hearing Mu Hanyan's explanation, how could I not understand the reason?
Mu Hanyan originally wanted to kill Gu Huangji directly, but the old guy was frightened and fainted. Mu Hanyan couldn't help but laugh and cry, so she didn't rush to take action.
"Sir, he actually had a chance to escape just now." Jiang Yunhe looked at Mu Hanyan's face and said cautiously.
Several old men from Tu Jing also looked at Mu Hanyan with the same eyes, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Mu Hanyan originally thought that when they found out that they had been tricked by Gu Huangji, they would be furious and kill him. However, she was a little surprised that not only did they not do anything, but they even seemed to beg for mercy.
"We, the God's Servants, never interfere in the disputes between the Holy Court and the Temple. In our view, there is no distinction between good and evil between the Holy Court and the Temple. It's just that they have different beliefs." Jiang Yunhe explained.
Mu Hanyan then realized that the God's Servants were actually a transcendent existence, no matter to the Holy See or the Temple. They had no hatred towards either side, so they could look at the dispute between the beliefs of the Holy See and the Temple more fairly from an outsider's perspective, and would never favor either side.
Although Gu Huangji had deceived them, they had been through life and death together before. He had the opportunity to escape at the beginning, but he still stayed. In the final analysis, it was for the entire Continent of Gods and for hundreds of millions of people.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Jiang Yunhe and others respect him and do not want to see him die in front of them.
Mu Hanyan suddenly thought of Bu Xuanji, the descendant of the Temple who had sacrificed several generations of his ancestors to gain a foothold in the Holy Court. From the perspective of the people of the Holy Court, Bu Xuanji's family had sinister intentions and deserved death. But from the perspective of the Temple, everything he did was for the Divine Continent and its millions of people. There was no distinction between good and evil; it was simply a matter of differing beliefs.
Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan smiled slightly and put away her sword.
