Zhuge Qiu was slightly stunned. The reason why he came to Huayu Temple to stand up for Long Wudang today was naturally because he was bewitched by Long Wudang.
Long Wudang had suffered a terrible loss at the hands of Mu Hanyan the previous time, and upon returning, he had complained and pleaded with him, naturally embellishing his actions when he spoke of Mu Hanyan's misdeeds. Zhuge Qiu knew Long Wudang's character and knew his words couldn't be trusted. But regardless, as the son of the chief priest of Tianyang City, Mu Hanyan should have given Long Wudang some respect, no matter how many faults he had committed.
But not only had she beaten Long Wudang and the others into idiots, she had also stolen all their valuables, clearly showing no regard for the Tianyang Temple. As the Tianyang Temple's Discipline Priest, he was determined to seek justice for Long Wudang, both publicly and privately. Since Mu Hanyan had shown no respect for the Tianyang Temple, even treating the son of the head priest so arrogantly, it was only natural that he would act arrogantly as well.
However, the final result was completely beyond his expectations. He thought that with his strength, it was a sure thing for him to deal with a little girl who was still wet behind the ears, but he did not expect to meet Xiang Qiuzhan. He did not expect that Xiang Qiuzhan, who could seriously injure him with one sword, would die in the hands of Mu Hanyan. The fighting power of the people and priests of the Huayu Temple made even him feel a chill in his heart.
Seeing Long Wudang and the others fawning and begging for mercy without any moral integrity, and even offering a large amount of silver and medicinal elixirs to apologize before anyone else could even open their mouths, Zhuge Qiu suspected that Mu Hanyan would never let him go easily. However, given his status, he absolutely could not do such a shameless thing as to beg for mercy.
Zhuge Qiu had already made preparations. If Mu Hanyan dared to humiliate him or extort money from him, he would never let her succeed even if it meant risking his life. However, who would have thought that Mu Hanyan surprised her again and let him go so easily.
"Lord Zhuge, today when the bandits attacked, you put aside your personal grudges and came to our aid. I, Mu Hanyan, am extremely grateful. I don't want to explain too much about the grudge between Huayu Temple and Long Wudang. In short, I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. From now on, no matter who it is, if they dare to offend the majesty of Huayu Temple or hurt the people of Huayu City, I will repay them with tooth for tooth and blood for blood!" Mu Hanyan saw Zhuge Qiu's doubts and said in a loud voice.
At this moment, Mu Hanyan, with her long hair fluttering, looked even more invincible in the night breeze that was still filled with a hint of blood and murderous intent.
"If you dare to offend the majesty of the Huayu Temple and hurt the people of Huayu City, you must repay me with tooth for tooth and blood for blood!" Behind him, a group of priests and guards from Huayu City, as well as hundreds of people, shouted in unison.
Zhuge Qiu was shocked. Mu Hanyan's words were obviously not a threat, but a declaration from the Huayu Temple.
He had a hunch that from this moment on, the Flower Rain Temple, which had been in decline for many years, would no longer be the Flower Rain Temple it used to be. Anyone who wanted to humiliate and despise the Flower Rain Temple would pay a heavy price.
Zhuge Qiu looked serious, bowed, and walked out of the city with the support of Long Wudang and others.
As Long Wudang walked, he couldn't help but secretly turn his head to look at Mu Hanyan. When Mu Hanyan said that, looking at Mu Hanyan's beautiful face, he couldn't help but be fascinated, as if his whole mind was completely occupied by that beautiful face, but he couldn't have the slightest intention of blaspheming her.
Young Master Longyang's heart was also completely confused.
"What's wrong, Mr. Long? Are you still reluctant to leave? If so, you can come and visit us often in the future." Mu Hanyan noticed Long Wudang's gaze and said jokingly.
Long Wudang's confused mind immediately regained its composure, and he rushed out of Huayu City like he was escaping. What a joke! Coming to Huayu City once would have cost him half his fortune, and coming twice would have made him a pauper. He was practically a fool to come again.
"It's getting late, let's clean up and go to bed early." Mu Hanyan gave the order after watching Long Wudang and others leave.
"Pass on the Master's order..." Wen Gaoren immediately relayed Mu Hanyan's order, using more respectful words.
Here it comes again. Mu Hanyan had a headache and was too lazy to pay attention to him. She patted her forehead and turned to walk into the hall.
"Baby Ling, come with me. I have something to ask you." Mu Hanyan said to Baby Ling.
Ling Baobao was bragging to Mu Tu and others about the glorious victory they had just achieved. When he heard her words, he hurried over.
"What's wrong?" Ling Baobao asked as soon as he entered the room. He hadn't finished blowing yet and was waiting to finish talking to Mu Hanyan before going out to continue blowing.
"Take a look at this first." Mu Hanyan said as she summoned the Chaos Sky Fire.
"Oh, this guy has advanced?" Ling Baobao said in surprise as he looked at the small flame in Mu Hanyan's hand.
"Is it strange to be promoted?" Mu Hanyan looked at Ling Baobao in confusion.
"I once heard mother say that it's extremely difficult for a Heavenly Spirit Fire to advance. If it relies on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would probably take ten thousand years to advance. Only by consuming the finest heavenly materials or other spiritual fires can it advance faster. Your Chaos Heavenly Fire doesn't seem to have consumed any heavenly materials, and there are no Heavenly Spirit Fires on the Sacred Continent for it to consume. How did it advance so quickly?" Ling Baobao said in surprise. It's extremely difficult for ordinary Heavenly Spirit Fires to advance, let alone Chaos Heavenly Fire, known as the source of all fires in heaven and earth.
"Does swallowing a deadly poison count?" Mu Hanyan asked.
This chaotic sky fire has indeed not devoured any decent natural treasures, nor has it any low-level spiritual fire for it to consume, but it can detoxify a lot of poisons, and all of them are extremely poisonous and make people shudder.
"I haven't heard Mother mention this, but the laws are different after all. It should have mutated somewhat upon arriving on the Sacred Continent, perhaps even relying on poison to advance," Ling Baobao pondered. Although his strength wasn't high, his family background was different, and his perspective was not bad, so he didn't find it too strange.
"So what realm has it reached now?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"After the initial stage, there is the juvenile stage, then the growth stage, and finally the mature stage." Ling Baobao said.
"It's only the larval stage." Mu Hanyan said with some disappointment. She thought it had reached the growth stage, but it was only the larval stage. It sounded like a human or a baby animal in its infancy. It was probably not as powerful as she thought.
"Don't underestimate the larval stage. This is the Chaos Heavenly Fire. Even if it is only in the larval stage, it can possess spiritual awareness, and its effect is much greater than you can imagine." Ling Baobao said.
"What's the use?" Mu Hanyan asked.
After arriving at the Continent of Gods, her Cangxuan Cloud Shade, Liuli Holy Clothes, Hades Blood Shield, and Star-Moon Battle Crown were restricted by the laws and could no longer be used normally. Without these protective magic weapons, she often felt insecure. The awakening and advancement of the Chaos Sky Fire finally gave her more confidence. Mu Hanyan was also full of curiosity and anticipation about its function.
