Chapter 1707: Chapter 1707: The Old Fox Isn’t a Vegetarian
According to the cultivation requirements of the temple, Han Yan is naturally a divine priest, and the Heavenly Spiritual Formation is practically tailor-made for her. He didn’t even bother to worry.
However, he was still very grateful for Chu Yanghe’s goodwill, and his smile was exceptionally cordial.
Unfortunately, this smile seemed like mockery in Chu Yanghe’s eyes. He originally intended to earn some personal favor but realized he was just being sentimental. It turned out that others didn’t need it at all.
"Lord Mu, I didn’t expect her magical artifact to be so powerful. If I’m not mistaken, you must have put in a lot of effort to obtain this magical artifact." Chu Yanghe felt deeply humiliated and spoke with a cold sneer.
"Magical artifact..." Ye Yi’an didn’t expect that at this moment, he would still stubbornly assume that Han Yan had a magical artifact hidden on her, and he was slightly taken aback.
"I admit, your magical artifact is indeed formidable, but to dare to look down on my Feng City Temple like this, you are really not taking me, Chu Yanghe, seriously." The more Chu Yanghe thought about it, the angrier he became, and he quickly made more hand gestures.
This time, his hand formation speed was noticeably faster, with divine light shining in his eyes.
With his activation, a multicolored light pattern descended again, trapping Han Yan within it.
Besides being used to assess entry-level priests, the Heavenly Spiritual Formation is also a guardian defensive formation. Under his full activation, the formation’s power increased exponentially.
Han Yan felt her body sink, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"This old man is so overbearing, once wasn’t enough, he comes again!" Lady Mu was furious.
Under such formidable formation power, if she didn’t proactively reveal the non-existent magical artifact, she might be forced to death by Chu Yanghe in this formation.
At first, she was repeatedly troubled by Wen Rongsong and others, and now it’s Chu Yanghe’s turn, each more overbearing and unreasonable than the last. Even a clay Bodhisattva has some temperament, let alone Lady Mu.
Without hesitation, Han Yan operated her divine sense again.
"Boom!" Another loud crash, just like the previous three Concentration Arrays, the Heavenly Spiritual Formation activated by Chu Yanghe himself also shattered.
Powerful formation forces surged like a tide, and although Chu Yanghe’s strength surpassed Wen Rongsong and others by far, he was still forced back by that force, finally stabilizing after crashing into a wall with a bang. However, he was also disheveled and in a sorry state, looking at Han Yan in a daze, unable to recover for a while.
The entire great hall was dead silent, Wen Rongsong and the rest were stunned, Ye Yi’an and Sikong Qinglan were stunned, even the temple disciples hiding in the distance were stunned.
If only Wen Rongsong and the other three suffered at Han Yan’s hands, it could be understood, but who could have thought that even the Master Priest would end up in the same sorry state under her hand. If not witnessed personally, who would dare to believe such a result.
Han Yan was also slightly stunned, only realizing when she operated her divine sense moments ago that Chu Yanghe’s formation was the Heavenly Spiritual Formation, different from the previous Concentration Array, and the method she deduced might not work. But once the arrow was shot, it couldn’t be taken back.
But fortunately, the final result did not disappoint her. With careful consideration, Han Yan realized that the formation principle of the Heavenly Spiritual Formation was mostly the same as the Concentration Array, only more exquisite.
If not for this, she really wouldn’t have much recourse against the stubbornly biased and arbitrary Chu Yanghe. Even if she didn’t die from the Heavenly Spiritual Formation, she might have been severely injured.
"How dare you... you even dare to disregard the Master Priest!" Wen Rongsong was the first to come to his senses, shouting sharply at Han Yan.
"This is outrageous; you even dare to harm the Master Priest. Someone, capture them all, and if they resist, execute them without mercy!" Kang Qingyuan also shouted, borrowing authority.
The temple disciples in the distance all drew their longswords in unison, ready to rush forward.
"Stop!" Chu Yanghe suddenly spoke, waving his hand to stop them.
"How did you do it?" Chu Yanghe stood up, straightened his wrinkled priest robe, and asked seriously.
As the Chief Priest of the Feng City Temple, his strength had actually reached the realm of a Tenth Rank Sword Spirit Priest. Though only one rank higher than Wen Rongsong and others, it was a qualitative difference, and his divine sense was much stronger than theirs.
Yet, with his powerful divine sense, he hadn’t detected any spiritual fluctuation of a magical artifact. He was certain Han Yan was hiding no such artifact, and the successive shattering of those arrays were unrelated to an artifact.
But if it wasn’t an artifact, then what was it? Could it be...
"Han Yan is a naturally born divine priest." Seizing the opportunity to answer, Ye Yi’an did not hide and candidly revealed.
"What, a naturally born divine priest!" All around, exclamations arose.
A naturally born divine priest was said to appear only once in a thousand years. Such a prodigy priest had appeared in the Feng City Temple and was standing right before them.
No wonder the formations in the great hall didn’t trouble her, and no wonder the several masters, even the Master Priest, suffered such losses. This was the reason.
Looking at Han Yan, the young priests’ eyes were filled with shock and envy.
The two young priests who previously stood at the door and spoke disrespectfully to Han Yan and others were trembling like leaves, each knowing that the future of a naturally born divine priest was unlimited. They dared not imagine the tragic end awaiting them if Han Yan bore a grudge.
"So it’s as expected, indeed a naturally born divine priest!" Despite having guessed a bit just now, receiving Ye Yi’an’s confirmation, Chu Yanghe couldn’t help but be shocked.
"How could the Master Priest not know?" Ye Yi’an curiously asked.
Chu Yanghe looked at Ye Yi’an with an even stranger expression. Not being acquainted with the latter nor ever having visited Mu Family Village, how could he have known this?
"A few days ago, Kang Zihe from the Kang Family came to our Mu Family territory. I had already informed him of this matter and he should have reported it to you. How could you not know?" Ye Yi’an added.
Han Yan clearly saw a mischievous smile flash across his lips as he spoke. Borrowing a knife to kill, sowing discord! Han Yan immediately understood Ye Yi’an’s intention.
This old man truly wasn’t as honest and kind as he appeared; skilled at acting and scheming. What a pity he isn’t a God-man.
"What, Mr. Kang, what’s going on? Why didn’t Kang Zihe report to me, and why didn’t you mention it to me either?" Ye Yi’an’s provocation had its effect. Chu Yanghe was enraged on hearing it and questioned Kang Qingyuan.
