Kang Zihe, believing Han Yan to be merely a weak civilian, attacked her with a powerful fireball. Although Ling Baobao and Mu Tu intervened, they were injured, and Han Yan was struck. While Ye Yi’an knew Han Yan could survive the attack due to her hidden strength, the unhealed injuries and exposed secret could jeopardize her chance to enter the Feng City Temple and learn its secret techniques.

Kang Zihe ended with a hearty laugh. This was the real reason for his stealth attack. If the Mu Family truly produced an Innate Divine Priest, how could the Kang Family pursue their ambitions for Sunrise Peak? Though suspicious of Ye Yi’an and the others, he decided to strike first to avoid future troubles.

The people of the Mu Family were full of grief and indignation. Han Yan was their last hope, and Kang Zihe’s sneak attack had undoubtedly destroyed that hope.

"Kang Zihe, I never expected you to be so despicable. I’ll fight you to the end!" Mu Tu roared in anger, charging towards Kang Zihe first.

Others, equally desperate and angry, rushed forward together.

Kang Zihe’s guards immediately spread out, surrounding him. Although these men weren’t wearing priest robes, their attire was practical, and their exposed strong muscles indicated their undeniable strength.

The people of the Mu Family, disorganized like a pile of loose sand, couldn’t gain any advantage.

"Stop!" Ye Yi’an frowned, about to intervene, when Han Yan’s clear and pleasant voice rang out.

"You, you’re alright!" Seeing Han Yan standing again, unharmed, everyone was stunned, Ye Yi’an included.

They had all seen Han Yan unpreparedly struck by Kang Zihe’s fireball. How could she be unscathed?

"Sorry to make everyone worry. I’m fine." Han Yan nodded and said.

This Mu was not related to her own Mu Family, but she felt moved by Mu Tu’s self-sacrifice for her, developing a slight sense of kinship.

"Hahaha, I knew you would be fine. My guess was right again." Ling Baobao froze for a moment, then laughed loudly.

"Is that so? Maybe you should clean your face first." Han Yan handed over a handkerchief, her eyes showing a playful smile and a hint of warmth.

"Hehe, just got sand in my eyes." Ling Baobao wiped the tear stains from his face sheepishly.

Han Yan stopped teasing him, turned her head, and looked coldly at Kang Zihe.

"You’re not dead!" Kang Zihe was equally surprised.

That fireball was personally launched by him; he knew better than anyone its power. Though he was only a First-level Divine Priest, the sword in his hand was no ordinary weapon. It was specially forged for him by a master hired by his grandfather. With this sword, his actual combat power wasn’t much inferior to a third-tier Divine Priest.

In his expectation, even if this delicate little girl didn’t die, she would be half-dead. But to his surprise, she was completely unharmed, appearing more spirited than before.

"Sorry to disappoint you." Han Yan smiled faintly, but her eyes showed no hint of joy.

Ling Baobao shivered involuntarily. Anyone familiar with Han Yan knew that when she had this look, she was genuinely angry, and someone was going to have a bad day.

He wasn’t wrong. Han Yan was truly enraged. Being suppressed in the Heavenly Curtain by the Holy Master, forced to part with her loved ones was tolerable, but being bullied by a mere Stone Plate Pig upon arriving at the Divine Continent was too much. Now, encountering such a despicable person! If not for the Xuanhuang Energy within her Heart Meridian, dissolving the fireball’s scorching power at the critical moment, her life could have been in jeopardy.

Lady Mu’s frustration had reached its peak.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to test my strength? Would you like to try again?" Han Yan stepped forward and said to Kang Zihe.

"Are you challenging me?" Kang Zihe could tell that although Han Yan was smiling, her eyes were icy and devoid of warmth. However, he didn’t truly regard her as a threat and said haughtily.

Even though Han Yan was unharmed after being hit by his Priest Divine Technique, which puzzled him, he was still a real Temple Priest. Han Yan, even if she were an Innate Divine Priest, without the temple’s baptism and without having learned the Divine Hall Secret Technique, couldn’t possibly be his opponent.

"By the way, can I challenge him?" Han Yan suddenly remembered how rank-based the Divine Continent was compared to the Holy Court Continent and wasn’t sure if she had the right to challenge Kang Zihe. She quietly asked Ling Baobao.

"Of course you can. In the Divine Continent, any low-level priest can challenge a High Order priest. Even ordinary civilians can challenge a priest, but life and death are nobody’s concern, so nobody does such foolish things." Ling Baobao said.

"That’s good." With this answer, Han Yan felt relieved. Her main concern was doing something too defiant by accident that would attract attention and reveal her identity.

"You’re right; I’m indeed challenging you. Do you dare accept?" Han Yan said proudly.

"Fine, since you are so eager to die, I’ll grant you a quick end!" Kang Zihe said with a face full of hostility.

His failed sneak attack left him puzzled and regretful. Now that Han Yan dared to challenge him, wasn’t she walking into her doom?

Seeing Han Yan proactively challenge Kang Zihe, the people of the Mu Family were initially shocked and then filled with worry as they looked toward Ye Yi’an.

If Han Yan were truly a Temple Priest, that would be one thing, but according to the Old Tributor, although she was an Innate Divine Priest, she hadn’t joined any temple, meaning she hadn’t learned any Priest Divine Techniques, relying merely on her natural talent and comprehension to gain some strength, which couldn’t compare to someone like Kang Zihe, a real Temple Priest.

Surviving Kang Zihe’s sneak attack was already a blessing, and now she was actively challenging him? Wasn’t that outright seeking death?

However, they weren’t familiar with Han Yan and didn’t even know how to address her, so they couldn’t persuade her and had to rely on the Old Tributor.

Ye Yi’an looked at Han Yan, equally filled with puzzlement. He guessed that Han Yan, possessing a Xuanhuang Stone, could directly perform Condensation with the Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent. But as far as he knew, that required considerable time and couldn’t match the power of the time-hardened cultivation Secret Technique of the temple.

Han Yan taking the initiative to challenge Kang Zihe was indeed seeking death!

"Ahem, ahem, Han Yan!" Ye Yi’an coughed lightly and subtly gave Han Yan a look.

Han Yan responded with a slight smile, but her gaze showed no wavering.

Anyway, as Ye Yi’an had said, spreading the word of her being an Innate Divine Priest sooner was not a bad thing. So why not take this opportunity to thoroughly vent her pent-up frustration? Otherwise, she feared she might end up with an internal injury from holding it in.

As for who was seeking death, that was yet to be determined.
