"Lord Kong, I should be able to leave now." Mu Hanyan looked at Kong Renhe coldly.
Even without using her divine sense, she could see how serious Kong Renhe's injuries were, and this result was within her expectations.
Strictly speaking, her Destiny Star Disc wasn't a defensive magical weapon. It provided her with a brief burst of absolute defense when it first recognized its master, but after that, it had no defensive function. However, the disc's spatial connection to the Sacred Continent and the Nine Heavens Void held immense energy. If Kong Renhe hadn't used his divine sense to probe its secrets, he would have been met with a counterattack from the Nine Heavens Void. If he hadn't been so cautious and didn't dare to concentrate his divine sense as fully as before, he would have been annihilated.
"Verify their identities and let them go." Under Mu Hanyan's gaze, Kong Renhe had no choice but to compromise.
There is no way to not compromise. Even if Mu Hanyan really has other storage magic tools on her, he has no way to check them.
Hearing Kong Renhe's words, the people around him shook their heads secretly: Why did you do that? You could have just checked the storage bracelet and let Mu Hanyan go, but you had to make things difficult for others. Now look what you have done, you have ended up in a mess and seriously injured, and you have lost all your face.
Counting it up, among the three highest-ranking priests in the Temple of Life, except for the chief priest, two have already lost face in front of Mu Hanyan!
Looking at Mu Hanyan, everyone's faces were filled with fear. Even the Right Priest and the Prayer Priest couldn't get any benefits from Mu Hanyan. They had to be careful not to offend her, otherwise they would most likely die without knowing how.
"Chief Priest Mu, please show us your soul tablets. You can leave immediately after your identity is verified." A law enforcement priest said cautiously with an apologetic smile.
It's not like he's blind. Even Kong Renhe chose to compromise. How could he dare to be an enemy of Mu Hanyan? What happened next was just routine.
Verify your identity! Mu Hanyan's heart sank.
She had seen others just check the storage magic tools and let them go easily, so she was not worried about the identities of Jiang Qiling and Taotie.
But in the end, this turned out to be their biggest flaw. Once Jiang Qiling and Taotie's identities were exposed, she would inevitably be implicated. As long as she carefully investigated, she would definitely find something, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Chief Priest Mu, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. This was also the order of the Chief Priest. It's just that I was too busy before and overlooked it." The law enforcement priest explained, fearing that he would anger Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan didn't doubt his words. She believed that after seeing Kong Renhe, a law enforcement priest, he wouldn't dare to embarrass her with such a trivial matter. Of course, the so-called insignificance was just an outsider's opinion. Mu Hanyan knew that this was actually her biggest weakness.
This old guy, why didn't he shock him to death just now? Mu Hanyan glared at Kong Renhe fiercely.
"Lord Kong probably wants to save some face. He is not deliberately making things difficult for Chief Priest Mu. I hope Chief Priest Mu will be flexible and save some face for Lord Kong." Another priest also explained.
In fact, Mu Hanyan could see without him saying much that Kong Renhe had chosen to compromise out of helplessness and no longer wanted to hold her to it. However, if he just waved and let her go, he would seem too cowardly, so he handled it in a businesslike manner, which could be considered as preserving a last bit of face.
But who knew that it was his last unintentional little thought that would push Mu Hanyan into a desperate situation.
Mu Hanyan remained silent. Jiang Qiling and Taotie stood beside her with serious expressions. The law enforcement priests were afraid that Mu Hanyan would lose her temper, so they didn't dare to say anything more. The atmosphere became extremely weird.
"I really didn't expect that with your strength, you could come back alive?" At this moment, Gao Weilong looked at Gao Weihu and said contemptuously.
When Kong Renhe and Mu Hanyan were competing with each other before, he had been watching coldly and looking at Gao Weihu, until he finally spoke at this time.
"You really want me to die!" Gao Weihu looked into his eyes with a complicated expression and said.
"We are brothers, how could I want you to die? But from ancient times to the present, how many wealthy and prestigious families have been destroyed by sibling rivalry. I just hope that such a thing will not happen to our Gao family. What do you think?" Gao Weilong smiled faintly.
"I've already said that I have no intention of becoming the young master, let alone the head of the family," said Gao Weihu.
"I don't know what you said, but who can tell what will happen in the future? So it's better to eliminate some hidden dangers as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well." Gao Weilong said slowly.
"So, why won't you let me go?" Gao Weihu said with gritted teeth, his eyes showing pain.
"You are wrong. You are still my brother. How could I possibly harm you? Everything I have done is for the Gao family. The strong should have the responsibilities of the strong, and the weak should have the awareness of the weak." Gao Weilong said.
"According to you, I should end my own life, right?" Gao Weihu asked.
"I didn't say that. You can figure out what I mean by that yourself. Anyway, don't make things difficult for me." Gao Weilong shook his head and turned away.
"Gao Weilong, I am no longer the Gao Weihu of the past. If you dare to attack me again, don't blame me for not thinking about our brotherhood!" Gao Weihu was completely desperate about Gao Weilong and said word by word.
"Are you threatening me?" Gao Weilong turned around suddenly, releasing a powerful aura from his body.
Ninth-rank Soul Priest! Mu Hanyan knew that Gao Weilong was stronger than Gao Weihu, but she didn't expect him to be so strong.
"I admit that my qualifications are not as good as yours, my strength is not as good as yours, and my character is not as good as yours, but I, Gao Weihu, will never sit still and wait for death." Gao Weihu took out a giant axe and said to Gao Weilong with a bit of despair and grief.
If he had a choice, he would never turn against Gao Weilong, but Gao Weilong obviously would not give him a chance to choose. He even threatened him in public and forced him to commit suicide. How could there be any brotherhood between them?
"It seems that your strength has improved a bit, but do you think you can compete with me like this?" Gao Weilong turned his wrist, and a huge hammer appeared in his hand, exactly the same as the one that Gao Weihu damaged.
"Gentlemen, please don't be impulsive. If you have anything to say, go home and talk it over." A law enforcement priest quickly stood between the two and advised.
"Yes, yes, this is a family matter. Let's talk about it at home and don't let outsiders laugh at us." Several other law enforcement priests also hurried forward to smooth things over.
