Seeing the confusion on their faces, Liu Qianyuan frowned: A bunch of country bumpkins, haven’t you even heard of the Liu family?
Suddenly, Chu Yanghe noticed the temple logo embroidered on Liu Qianyuan's robe and said in surprise: "Temple of Death, you are from the Temple of Death!"
"Yes, we are from the Temple of Death. This is the son of the chief priest of our Temple of Death, the young master of the Liu family, Lord Liu Qianyuan." An attendant priest said without losing any opportunity.
It's a bit of a show-off if you reveal your identity yourself; it's more impressive if someone else says it. This attendant priest was clearly well aware of this.
The son of the chief priest of the Death Temple, the young master of the Liu family! Chu Yanghe and the others all changed their expressions.
Although this is the territory of the Temple of Life, the Temple of Death is the leader of the five superior temples, and the Liu family is the first priest family of the five superior temples. Their status is much higher than theirs. If it is not necessary, no one wants to offend such a top family.
Looking at Liu Qianyuan again, especially Liu Rande, everyone's eyes were filled with awe. Liu Qianyuan called Liu Rande "Third Uncle", which meant that this old man was a generation older than his father.
"It turns out to be Lord Liu. I am Chu Yanghe, the chief priest of Tianyang Temple. Nice to meet you, Lord Liu." Chu Yanghe said with a salute.
"I am Ma Jingtian, the chief priest of Xiafeng Temple. Nice to meet you, Master Liu."
"I..." The other officiating priests also followed suit and bowed.
"No need to be so polite. Our Liu family just has some grudges with Mu Hanyan. It has nothing to do with you. We won't make things difficult for you. Just watch." Seeing everyone bowing to him respectfully, Liu Rande's vanity was greatly satisfied. He glanced at Chu Yanghe and others and said.
"Lord Liu, I don't know what kind of grudge the Liu family has with Chief Priest Mu. We are all priests of the temple. There is no need to make a big fuss over such a small matter. How about I host a banquet for you all, and we can discuss anything?" Chu Yanghe said to smooth things over.
Although Liu Rande and others came with great force, they could not afford to provoke them. However, except for the Tianyang Temple and the Lingyu Temple, the ten temples under the Temple of Life and the Huayu Temple were of the same origin and had become allies. Naturally, they did not want Mu Hanyan to get into trouble.
"Yes, yes, we are all priests of the temple. If there is any grudge, we can talk it out. If Chief Priest Mu has offended us in any way, we will apologize on her behalf. We hope that Lord Liu will show leniency." The other priests also followed suit and pleaded.
They thought that Mu Hanyan was no one who didn't know the seriousness of the situation. With such a powerful person, she couldn't possibly have offended them too severely. At most, she had accidentally offended them with her words. It was just that the children of wealthy families were often arrogant and couldn't afford to lose face. Although they couldn't match the other party in strength and status, they were still the chief priests guarding a region. If they came forward together to plead for mercy, the other party would have to give them some face.
Unfortunately, they were wrong.
"Hmph, do you have the right to meddle in our Liu family's affairs? Stop being shameless and get out of my way." Liu Rande's face darkened and he cursed.
The smiles of Chu Yanghe and the others froze on their faces, and their expressions became extremely ugly. Even if their strength was not high, they were still the chief priests of a temple. The temple had to rely on them to arrange the people below and maintain the peace of the Continent of Gods. Therefore, even if the chief priests of the upper temples summoned them, they were polite to them. This was the first time in their lives that they were pointed at in the nose and scolded.
"Lord Liu, I know that your Liu family is powerful, but don't forget, this is the jurisdiction of the Temple of Life. You broke into the temple without notifying the public, which is a serious violation. I will report today's events to Chief Priest Guan. I hope Lord Liu will take care of himself." Chu Yanghe said with a dark face.
"Yes, although we are not as good as your Liu family, as the chief priests of the Temple of Life, we cannot allow ourselves to be bullied." Ma Jingtian also said.
A tree lives by its bark, a man lives by his face. As the chief priest of a temple, if they are pointed at and cursed at for no reason, and if they swallow their anger and dare not even fart, how can they have any prestige if the news gets out?
"It seems that you really want to be enemies with my Liu family?" Liu Rande said with a sneer on his face.
They were just the chief priests of a few lower-level temples. He didn't believe that Guan Xiu Jin would really fall out with the Liu family for them.
In fact, he didn't know that even in the Temple of Death, Liu Taian, as the chief priest, mainly tried to win over the chief priests of the lower temples in order to maintain peace in various places. He would not easily break off relations with them unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, each lower-level temple governs hundreds of millions of people, as well as numerous priest families. Although these people are not strong, or have no strength at all, they are the real cornerstone of the Continent of Gods. Once unrest occurs, it is likely to shake the foundation of the temple.
Liu Rande had been living a life of idleness and waiting for death for hundreds of years, thinking that he could look down on everyone just because he had the strength. He didn't understand the truth behind it.
"Lord Chu, Lord Ma, this matter has nothing to do with you. Let me handle it myself." Mu Hanyan said.
She didn't expect that Chu Yanghe and others would actually stand up for her. Even if it was because of the interests involved between the various halls and the Huayu Temple, she was still somewhat touched and didn't want to implicate them.
She also realized that although Liu Rande was not young, he was a complete mess in dealing with people, like a fool, and was far inferior to Zhao Xinghu. She was afraid that this guy would go crazy and hurt Chu Yanghe and others.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so brave. No wonder you can sit in the position of the chief priest at such a young age." Liu Rande said with the airs of an elder.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Mu Hanyan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and spoke straight to the point.
"Qianyuan, you speak." Liu Rande said after a moment of hesitation.
What did he want? Of course, he wanted Mu Hanyan to get the Scarlet Thunder Golden Winged Beast back and then sign a contract with him. However, there was no way he could say such a thing in front of so many people. It would be better to help Liu Qianyuan vent his anger first, and then deal with this matter slowly.
"Mu Hanyan, as long as you and Gao Weihu kowtow to me and beg for mercy, return the stolen five-colored soul beads to me double, no, triple, and bring back the sacrificial pet for me, I will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, today my Liu family and your Huayu Temple will fight to the death!" With Liu Rande's support, Liu Qianyuan was full of courage. He stepped forward and pointed at Mu Hanyan and Gao Weihu and said.
After hearing his words, Chu Yanghe and the others were a little surprised and confused. At first, they thought that Mu Hanyan and the people of the Liu family had just some verbal conflicts. But after hearing that they were kowtowing and begging for mercy, snatching the five-colored soul beads, and offering sacrifices, it was obvious that things were not that simple.
