2271 Warning under Fear
Chen Xuefeng's handwriting was extremely sloppy, obviously he was extremely flustered when he wrote the letter, or extremely frightened, and it would definitely not be as simple as an ordinary rogue to scare him like this.
Could it be that he found the trace of the slashing abyss?
No matter what he discovered, Mu Hanyan believed that Chen Xuefeng would never send a letter to warn him for no reason.
Without time to think about it, Mu Hanyan notified the other temples while gathering people and preparing to go to the Qingning Temple.
Considering that Huayu City had already sent more than two thousand priests to the major temples, there were not too many people left, and Mu Hanyan didn't bring many people, only the strongest ones such as Gluttony, Gao Weihu, Long Wudang and Jiang Qiyan, and the others all stayed in Huayu City.
As soon as they came to the teleportation array, they saw Chu Yang and the chief priests of each hall, and as soon as they heard the news that Mu Hanyan had found the murderer, they rushed over non-stop.
After a few words of greeting, everyone stepped on the teleportation array, and as the teleportation formation was activated, the light and shadow of the Dao flickered, and after a while, the group came to the Qingning Temple.
"Chief Priest Mu, is that murderer really in the territory of my Qingning Temple, ready to attack Pingchuan City?" As soon as he came out of the teleportation array, Fan Chengli, the chief priest of Qingning Temple, greeted him and asked Mu Han with an anxious face.
In order to search for the murderer, the major temples did their best, and the Huayu Temple generously lent more than 2,000 priests, but he didn't find out any news, but Mu Hanyan found out, if the murderer was really hiding in his Qingning Temple, this face would be embarrassing.
"I'm not sure, but I'd rather believe it than not. Mu Hanyan said.
The letter from Chen Xuefeng was only a few words, and it was not clear, so she didn't say it too much, but it was related to the life and death of innocent people, even if there was only one possibility, it must not be careless.
"That's right, then we'll leave for Pingchuan City right away. Fan Chengli said.
The distance between Qingning City and Pingchuan City is nearly 10,000 miles, and there is no teleportation array, so everyone can only take a carriage. In order to be in a hurry, the carriage that was originally supposed to be pulled by two red charcoal cloud smoke beasts also became four, and the road was extremely bumpy, but fortunately, everyone's strength was not weak, but they didn't feel hard.
"Chief Priest Fan, have you carefully investigated Pingchuan City before?" got into the carriage and asked Mu Hanyan.
"This ......" Fan Chengli sneered, revealing a look of shame.
"What's wrong?" Mu Hanyan glanced at him strangely.
"Pingchuan City is the hereditary territory of the Sha family, and the Sha family is married to the Fei family, and Fei Changle's inner man is the daughter of the head of the Sha family. Chu Yanghe helped explain.
Although his words were not said thoroughly, Mu Hanyan still understood everything. Fei Changle took refuge in Zhao Xinghong, did not listen to the name of the chief priest and was her enemy, Fan Chengli was afraid that she would be angry, so he naturally had no good face for the Sha family, who was married to the Fei family, and maybe he wished that the Sha family would be baptized in blood, and it could be regarded as giving her an explanation, so how could he check it carefully.
"The Fei family is the Fei family, the Sha family is the Sha family, and Fei Changle's affairs have nothing to do with them. Mu Hanyan said. Although Fei Changle couldn't get along with her, Mu Hanyan didn't like him, even if he died in front of her, she wouldn't blink her eyes more, but Mu Hanyan had always had clear grievances and didn't want to implicate others.
"The chief priest is polite, but I am a little angry. Fan Chengli said ashamedly.
Thinking about it carefully, with Mu Hanyan's strength, how could he take Fei Changle's small role in his eyes, and how could he have the heart to get along with the Sha family, but he spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"The people of Pingchuan City shouldn't all be the children of the Sha family, right?" Mu Hanyan asked again.
The power of the laws of the Divine Continent is too violent, so there are very few cities, except for the main city of the temple, most of them are small villages, and the population is not large, but since Pingchuan City can be called a city, it must have a large population, according to her guess, not all of them are the children of the Sha family.
"Lord Priest Mu is right, there are more than 20,000 people in Pingchuan City, and there are about 2,000 children of the Sha family. Fan Chengli was even more ashamed when he said this.
Thinking that it didn't matter if the people of Pingchuan were baptized in blood, he thought that he had given Mu Hanyan an explanation, but he didn't think that in addition to the more than 2,000 children of the Sha family, there were nearly 20,000 ordinary people in Pingchuan City, and they were also his people. is also the main sacrifice, Mu Hanyan loves the people like a son, but he regards it as a mustard, which is indeed a little unqualified.
"What is the strength of Pingchuan City?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"The strength is not bad, the Sha family used to be one of the most powerful priest families in my Xiafeng Temple, and it is said that the ancestors were also involved in the priest family of the little gods, but it was only later that the family fell into a corner of peace. As far as I know, the strength of the head of the Sha family has reached the tenth-order god priest, there are more than ten priests in the family, and the strength of the guards is not weak, and Pingchuan City also has a defensive formation, although it is not as good as the Xiafeng Temple, but the power is not small, for tens of thousands of years, no rogue has dared to invade Pingchuan City. Fan Chengli replied.
Hearing his words, Chu Yanghe and the others were a little surprised, such a family strength, no matter which temple it was placed in, it was very good, and coupled with the defensive formation of Pingchuan City, there should not be much danger.
It is estimated that Fan Chengli did not carefully investigate Pingchuan City, on the one hand, because of Fei Changle, on the other hand, because Pingchuan City itself is not weak, so he is too lazy to spend that effort.
Mu Hanyan is not as easy as them, maybe in the eyes of others, the strength of Pingchuan City is already very good, but for Chopping Yuan, it is not mentioned at all, it is just a matter of killing them.
The journey was non-stop, and a few days later, everyone came to Pingchuan City.
After all, the population is only 20,000, and the scale of Pingchuan City is not large, and if it is placed on the Holy Court Continent, it can only be regarded as a small town at most, but it is built very strongly, the thick and majestic city walls, and the tall and majestic city towers look like a fortress made of huge stones.
The most amazing thing is that the city is full of greenery, and the thousand-year-old trees rise from the ground, looking vibrant, although this vitality is far from being compared with Huayu City, but it is not inferior to the other ten main cities of the temple, and even much stronger.
It seems that the defensive formation of this Pingchuan City is indeed very good.
Several well-dressed young guards stood guard at the entrance to the city gate, and some ragged civilians were lining up to enter and exit the city gate. Mu Hanyan noticed that no matter whether you enter or leave the city, you must pay a certain amount of silver and property, otherwise you will be turned away.
"What's going on?" Mu Hanyan said a little strangely.
Including Huayu City, although the main city of other temples will also send people to guard the city gate, but mainly to prevent the rogues from entering the city to cause chaos, as long as there is no problem with their identity, they can enter and exit freely, and they don't need any silver taels at all.
