The bandits, enraged by the death of their leader Xiang Qiuzhan, attacked Mu Tu and his clansmen. However, the Mu clan, wielding immense strength, easily defeated the bandits. The priests of Huayu Temple, empowered by Mu Hanyan's teachings and a special elixir, also joined the fight, using martial arts to quickly subdue the remaining bandits. Mu Hanyan, sensing the formidable power of the last few resisting bandits, prepared to use her Divine Gifted Heavenly Power to end the battle.

As Mu Hanyan finished her last chant, the pillar of light as pure and blue as a plateau lake shot out once more from the temple’s spire, extending along the straight avenue towards the city gate.

Every temple citizen, whether city-dwellers or those living on land grants outside the city, bore the temple’s mark. There was no worry of being harmed by the defensive array, and as the light extended, the Mu Clan and the temple priest guards instinctively stepped to the sides, while the light enveloped the last three bandits.

Two shadows, along with their companions who had fallen in battle, instantly vanished into nothingness. What no one expected was that the last bandit suddenly leapt up, evading the terrifying power of the Divine Gifted Heavenly Power, and then disappeared into the night after a few swift movements over the city wall.

Everyone stared in shock at his disappearing direction. Even Xiang Qiuzhan, under this Divine Gifted Heavenly Power, was severely injured and only survived thanks to the giant sword that sealed the Demon Dragon. This man’s strength unexpectedly surpassed Xiang Qiuzhan!

Mu Hanyan’s eyes flashed with surprise as well. The distance and her heavily depleted Divine Sense earlier prevented her from seeing clearly, but now, seeing his fleeing figure, she realized this was the bandit who escaped from Mu Family Village.

A sudden doubt arose in Mu Hanyan’s heart.

Mu Family Village is only a little over a thousand miles from the Feng City Temple main city and not an ideal target for bandits. To her knowledge, the Mu Clan had settled in Mu Family Village for over a thousand years, rarely seeing bandits. No matter how Huayu Temple had declined, it was still a temple; only a fool would dare offend it, yet here they were.

Furthermore, the figure appeared twice, his strength clearly no less than Chen Xuefeng and Xiang Qiuzhan, yet why did he remain inconspicuous beneath them? Where did Chen Xuefeng’s exquisite Martial Art come from? And Xiang Qiuzhan’s giant sword that sealed the Demon Dragon?

Could all of this be connected to this person?

"Hahaha, what kind of lousy bandits, this is all they’re capable of? How satisfying, truly satisfying," came the bold, hearty laughter of Mu Tu from behind.

Several priests returned with him, eyes filled with a bit of respect. The law of the strong reigns supreme on the Divine Continent as well; though not a priest, Mu Tu earned everyone’s respect with his absolute strength.

Of course, those Mu clansmen with incredible martial skills were the same; after this battle, no one dared to treat them as ordinary civilians anymore.

"Are you hurt?" Mu Hanyan pondered and couldn’t quite find an answer, so she stopped racking her brains, asking out of concern.

"We’re fine, just a few minor injuries that are insignificant. What about you, are you alright?" Ling Baobao asked, looking at Mu Hanyan with concern.

"I’m fine. By the way, did you seem to be crying just now?" Mu Hanyan asked.

"No, it’s just the wind, made my eyes sting." Ling Baobao, unlike Sikong Qinglan, wasn’t so shy as to blush easily, yet his expression was still a bit awkward saying this.

Earlier, seeing Mu Hanyan in danger, even he thought it was inevitable she’d fall, couldn’t help but shed tears, though this was something he absolutely wouldn’t admit.

Who is Ling Baobao anyway, child of the Plane Supreme from another plane, to shed tears like a girl? Not only himself but he would disgrace his mom too.

"Ling Baobao, thank you." Mu Hanyan looked at his embarrassed expression, amused but didn’t expose him, instead earnestly expressed.

Rarely did she see this little god-man reveal genuine emotions, warming Mu Hanyan’s heart.

"By the way, Master Priest, what realm is your strength at now? Even that Demon Dragon wasn’t your match?" Shen Yuhe asked curiously.

"Actually, that wasn’t a real Demon Dragon, merely a sealed, incomplete Dragon Soul." Mu Hanyan wasn’t sure of her own strength’s realm, but she didn’t blindly boast either.

In fact, when the Demon Dragon began vanishing, she already sensed it was merely a Residual Soul, somewhat akin to the Star Illusion Thousand Machine, not as powerful as others might imagine.

"Even so, it’s not something ordinary people could deal with, right?" Shen Yuhe continued.

Mu Hanyan was slightly stunned; she didn’t think much initially, but hearing Shen Yuhe’s words made her feel that the Fire Spear she condensed with Priest Divine Technique didn’t seem that powerful.

Subconsciously concentrating inner vision, Mu Hanyan’s eyes suddenly lit with delight.

Within the Heart Meridian, a white flame gently flickered, like a pure flower slowly blooming. Though it appeared delicate, like the flame emerging whenever Mu Hanyan performed Divine Arts, weak and fragile, Mu Hanyan distinctly felt the infinite energy within it.

Chaos Heavenly Fire has awakened!

Chaos Heavenly Fire, the Source of Ten Thousand Flames within Heaven and Earth, consuming all creation!

This was Ling Baobao’s description of Chaos Heavenly Fire, yet Mu Hanyan’s Heart Meridian Chaos Heavenly Fire was merely a sapling, like an infant Exotic Beast, hence she hadn’t felt its significant power before.

But now, she clearly felt that though the flame appeared weak, it was actually concentrated like a solid entity, even visible with distinct patterns, containing energy far mightier than imagined. Evidently, Chaos Heavenly Fire had advanced!

Neither Holy Court Continent nor Divine Continent had the concept of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, so Mu Hanyan couldn’t determine its growth realm. She could only be certain that if Chaos Heavenly Fire was equivalent to an infant Exotic Beast before, it now had reached at least the Growth Stage.

The Demon Dragon sealed in the giant sword was, after all, merely a Residual Soul and obviously not its opponent, like the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill’s poison, directly consumed by it.

Mu Hanyan concentrated her inner vision, delightedly and curiously watching the Chaos Heavenly Fire in her Heart Meridian, waves of Mental State fluctuated in her mind: "Hungry, hungry..."

Mu Hanyan was so pleased she nearly leapt up. Ling Baobao once told her, Chaos Heavenly Fire is not only the Source of Ten Thousand Flames but also the spirit of all fires; if continuously growing, it could possess spirituality, even Spiritual Sense, capable of communicating like humans, even transforming into human form.

Upon hearing this, Mu Hanyan had her doubts; it was just a fire seed, possessing spirit was understandable, but how could it communicate like humans, or maybe Chaos Heavenly Fire in Ling Baobao’s plane could achieve this, yet on the Holy Continent, due to different Laws, might not evolve to that extent.

But now, Mu Hanyan fully believed Ling Baobao’s words; this Chaos Heavenly Fire indeed could possess Spiritual Sense, capable of communicating like humans.
