Chapter 1580: Chapter 1580: He Actually Divined Her Greatest Secret
If she didn’t know the origin of this Sword Soul, Mu Hanyan might think that Bo Xuanji, as someone from the temple, lurking within the Holy Court, wouldn’t mind doing something to harm the Holy Court Continent when given the opportunity. However, she knows the details of this Sword Soul best, so she believes he would never take such unnecessary risks.
Moreover, Bo Xuanji is so severely injured and knows he’s bound to die, so there’s no need to deceive himself.
"Then, what about the death of Huayue’s parents? Was it your doing?" Mu Hanyan continued to ask.
"Hua Guanyu and his wife came to the Holy Court over twenty years ago, closer to the opening of the Holy Soul Illusion Realm. Our Bu family has been enduring for over a thousand years to conceal our identity for the mission entrusted by Lord Divine. My great-grandfather even perished alongside temple comrades. There is no way I would take such a risk at this time. Their death has nothing to do with me," Bo Xuanji said.
This answer was also within Mu Hanyan’s expectations. She remembered Gai Huangji had also said earlier that Hua Guanyu’s death had nothing to do with him, so naturally, Bo Xuanji should also be uninvolved.
Mu Hanyan had initially determined that the person who severely injured her grandmother was Bo Xuanji, the one who falsely passed decrees that led to the ruin of the Han and Tang Families and that Huayue’s parents also died at his hands. Yet, Bo Xuanji’s words completely overturned her judgment.
If not him, then who could it be?
"Where did you learn the last Hand Skill you just used?" Mu Hanyan suddenly thought of another crucial point.
The aura contained in Bo Xuanji’s last Hand Skill was exactly the same as the strange technique her grandmother was struck by. It was because of this that she initially concluded Bo Xuanji was the one who injured her grandmother. As long as the origin of that Hand Skill was known, the true culprit wouldn’t be hard to find.
"That is the Heavenly Mist Floating Cloud Palm passed down from my great-grandfather, combining the strengths of the temple and the Holy Court. It’s said to have been widely spread even before the Holy Continent split. However, with the incomplete laws after the continent’s separation, those who know it are extremely rare," Bo Xuanji said frankly, not trying to conceal it. The whereabouts of Fen Qianji, arguably the biggest secret, had already been revealed by him, so there was no need to hide anything else.
"Heavenly Mist Floating Cloud Palm!" Mu Hanyan frowned. Since it was a Hand Skill passed down from Bo Xuanji’s great-grandfather, trying to find the true culprit through it wouldn’t be easy.
Though Mu Hanyan’s Qi was maintaining his Heart Meridian, Bo Xuanji’s life was still fading away. After this conversation, his expression was even weaker, and the light in his eyes was diminishing.
"The Holy Court Disciples harbor a deep hostility towards the Descendants of Divine Guardian. Is it you who instigated this from behind?" Mu Hanyan posed her final question. Compared to the previous doubts, this query wasn’t as crucial, but since she had already asked, she might as well uncover all the answers.
"Indeed!" A sudden glow of intensity returned to Bo Xuanji’s eyes as he said, "But the one I really want to deal with is not them, but you!"
"Me?" Mu Hanyan looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, you. My lord practiced the Star Divination Technique since childhood. Although I can’t claim to have truly mastered life and death or dictated the universe, I’ve glimpsed the Heavenly Secret. Heavenly Star shifts north, Nine Tribulations Return to One! Mu Hanyan, your heritage is far from what it appears to be. One day, you will become the strongest on the Holy Court Continent and inevitably become the greatest enemy of our temple. Therefore, I must eliminate you early to remove potential future issues for our temple!" Bo Xuanji said excitedly.
Mu Hanyan’s heart trembled violently. She hadn’t expected that this old man was actually a Star Divination Master and had even divined her greatest secret.
