“By the way, Master Priest, the temple’s main array was previously damaged quite a lot, it must be repaired sooner rather than later, otherwise I’m afraid other priests will have opinions.” That priest reminded again.

The Long Family has many loyalists in the Heavenly Sun Temple, but Tianyang City is not the territory of just one priest family, other families have influence within the temple. Long Aoli’s reputation is greatly damaged, and the main array was damaged because of him; if it’s not repaired quickly, other families might seize the opportunity to stir up trouble.

“I’ve already discussed the matter of the array with the Lingyu Divine Hall, take my letter to see Ou Dechuan shortly, and have them repair the array as soon as possible.” Long Aoli said confidently.

Anyway, agreements have already been established among all divine halls and the Lingyu Divine Hall, all array repairs are entrusted to Lingyu Divine Hall, although they will charge a fee, it is still more cost-effective than doing it yourself, plus it saves him the headache.

However, Long Aoli does not know that repairing the array is not as simple as he imagines. Asking Lingyu Divine Hall for repairs has given Mu Hanyan yet another opportunity to stand out, further pushing Heavenly Sun Temple into the abyss.

…

On the second day of the ritual ceremony, the Gu Family began packing, preparing to head to Huayu City.

Taking advantage of the free time, Mu Hanyan went to the black market to buy various Meteorite Gold Medicine Grass. Having seen Mu Hanyan’s strength, Gao Weihu deliberately befriended her, actively helping her with errands. Given his kind reminder in the previous day’s letter, Mu Hanyan has a good impression of him, and they cooperate smoothly.

In just over an hour, Mu Hanyan bought all the needed Meteorite Gold and Medicinal Herbs, spending almost the entirety of several hundred million taels of silver, leaving only tens of millions for emergencies.

Mu Hanyan did not rush to sell the Five-Colored Soul Pearl, first, she promised Gao Weihu to hold it for him, second, Gao Weihu owed her tens of millions, agreeing to send it to Huayu City after some time. She generally trusts his character, so she’s not in a hurry.

Leaving the black market at noon, Mu Hanyan took Sikong Qinglan and Wen Gaoren to a restaurant for lunch.

With the ritual ceremony in progress, priests from all halls gathered in Tianyang City, at mealtime, the restaurant was naturally bustling.

While eating, people discussed yesterday’s competition. Although the Heavenly Sun Temple was ashamed by the actions of the Master Priest, unwilling to leak any information, the problem was there were many other divine hall members present, making it difficult for them to get their wish.

Discussing Mu Hanyan’s stunning performance, diners were animated and full of admiration and longing, while mentioning Long Aoli, disdain and scorn were unavoidable.

“The Hall Master, a dignified hall leader, doing such a thing of breaking promises, even borrowing the temple formation to deploy a domain, truly disgraceful.” Someone couldn’t help but lament.

“What’s more, he lost in the end, I doubt he’ll dare show his face again in the future.”

“Losing is one thing, but I heard he even destroyed several main arrays of the temple, now there’s some entertainment at the Heavenly Sun Temple.” Someone said with schadenfreude.

“They are looking for someone to repair the array, not sure if it can be fixed?”

“It shouldn’t be a problem, I heard that the person doing it is from Lingyu Divine Hall. The priests of Lingyu Divine Hall are proficient in array formation techniques. This time, the one handling it is reportedly the only direct disciple of Master Wen Gao Ren, a master of array formation.” Someone boasted upon hearing a bit of rumor.

“So it’s Master Wen’s disciple, I’ve heard of Master Wen’s reputation, presumably, it won’t be a problem.” An old priest stroked his beard, mentioning Wen Gao Ren with a sense of admiration.

But hearing their words, Wen Gaoren’s face turned ashen. No need for further words, he knew who they were talking about; besides Duan Cheng’an, he didn’t have a second direct disciple. Cheating one’s master and destroying ancestors aside, to have the nerve to top-up his reputation with Wen Gaoren’s name, he was blind to have accepted such a shameless person as a disciple.

“Let’s go, let’s watch the excitement too.” Mu Hanyan said. It was clear that Wen Gaoren was upset, and Mu Hanyan despised disloyal people like Duan Cheng’an; she was curious to see what tricks he could pull.

“There’s no need.” Wen Gaoren really didn’t want to see Duan Cheng’an again, the thought alone was infuriating.

“Let’s watch, don’t you want to give him a lesson?” Mu Hanyan said.

“Master Priest, what are you planning to do? I know you want to stand up for me, but we can’t act rashly in this matter.” Wen Gaoren quickly said.

Mu Hanyan’s good intentions were clear to him, and he was touched by them, but having just dealt with Long Aoli and his family, causing trouble when others were repairing arrays seemed too much.

“I’m just saying, not necessarily acting immediately. Let’s see the situation first.” Mu Hanyan said.

She hadn’t intended to keep dwelling on a petty person like Duan Cheng’an; once leaving Tianyang City, they may never intersect in life. However, since he’s in Tianyang City as well, though not intending to vent Wen Gaoren’s anger, ignoring it completely wasn’t her style.

“Alright then, let’s see the situation first.” Wen Gaoren thought for a moment and said. If there was an opportunity, he certainly wouldn’t want to miss teaching Duan Cheng’an a lesson, otherwise, if letting this traitor tarnish his name, he might never find peace in life.

They called a carriage and soon arrived at the Heavenly Sun Temple.

In the spacious main hall, priests from various halls were already gathered, and the main priests were among them.

Though agreements had been established with Lingyu Divine Hall, entrusting them with array repairs, since Master Wen Gao Ren, known as Lingyu City’s top array master, had transferred to Huayu Temple, there was some skepticism regarding Lingyu Divine Hall’s current array strength, wanting to verify amid this occasion.

Centrally, Duan Cheng’an appeared solemn, arranging Meteorite Gold while contemplating the hand formation. Though a complete villain, he displayed a composed demeanor with a bit of a master’s aura while working.

Everyone’s attention focused on Duan Cheng’an, leaving Mu Hanyan and her group unnoticed. The guards at the entrance recognized her but having witnessed Mu Hanyan’s divine power yesterday, dared not show disrespect, keeping their heads down, fearing a wrong look might provoke her anger and get slapped to death.

Mu Hanyan ignored them, standing not too far with Wen Gaoren observing the scene.

“No wonder Master Wen’s esteemed disciple, his array skills might not surpass the master, but seem to have inherited true teachings.” A priest commented after observing for some time.

“Even if Master Wen did it personally, it wouldn’t be much better; there’s no exceptionally strong point.” Another priest echoed.
