Murong Kun gritted his teeth in anger, "This Liu Rulong is really useless. It's been so long, and he still hasn't brought Zhong Wu Shi Yao to me!"
"Moreover, that pair of scoundrels, Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi, who knows where they’ve hidden themselves?"
As Murong Kun was seething with rage, Linghu Changkong appeared.
He was extremely frustrated; there was only one month left in the trial at Fallen God Canyon. During this time, he had sent out thousands of people without finding any trace of Tan Yun.
“Tan Yun, you’d better be dead at the hands of a demon beast; otherwise, if I catch you, I’ll make you wish you were never born!”
As Linghu Changkong thought this, he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Yi beside him.
Lin Yi excitedly pointed towards the eastern sky and shouted, “Senior Brother Linghu, look quickly! That scoundrel Tan Yun isn’t dead; he’s coming!”
This stirred up a great commotion.
Everyone in the open space turned their gaze in the direction Lin Yi was pointing and saw Tan Yun, Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shi Yao, Xue Ziyan, and Rongrong coming side by side on their flying swords.
At this moment, Tan Yun had hidden his cultivation level at the first level of fetal soul realm using the primordial divine eye.
The primordial divine eye had two major functions besides enchanting the mind.
First: It could see through the true cultivation level of practitioners who were at a much higher realm than oneself; second: By hiding one’s cultivation level through the primordial divine eye, only practitioners at a much higher realm could perceive one’s true cultivation level.
In other words, only a practitioner at the third layer of the refining soul realm could see through that Tan Yun had hidden his level!
It was a well-known fact that those at a lower realm couldn’t discern the true realm of someone at a higher level. Those at a higher realm could see the true strength of those below them at a glance.
For example, a practitioner at the second level of fetal soul realm would be unable to see the realm of someone at the first level of fetal soul realm standing in front of them, but the former could see at a glance that the latter was at the first level.
Tan Yun hid his cultivation at the first level to see how many people wanted to kill him! At the same time, he wanted to avoid harming innocents!
“The two-year trial is about to end, yet Tan Yun is only at the first level; it seems his talent is average,” Murong Kun thought to himself. He glanced at a disciple beside him at the third level of fetal soul realm and whispered, “Convey my orders, wait for my command before moving.”
“Understood,” the disciple replied respectfully.
On the other side of the open space, Linghu Changkong gazed at Tan Yun flying over on his sword and ordered the third level of fetal soul realm Lin Yi behind him, “Wait for my command; I will deal with Zhong Wu Shi Yao and Mu Mengyi at the third level of fetal soul realm. You all attack and kill Tan Yun, Rongrong, and Xue Ziyan!”
“Understood!” Lin Yi received the order and quickly passed it down.
At this moment, the third group of disciples in the open space watched Tan Yun approaching with various expressions.
Some sympathized with Tan Yun, believing he would be ruthlessly killed by the combined forces of Murong Kun and Linghu Changkong today.
Some scoffed at Tan Yun, thinking he was overestimating himself, a mere first level of fetal soul realm, clearly out of his mind to come and deliver himself to death.
Others shook their heads in regret, recalling how Tan Yun had once challenged higher levels with such astounding strength but now, as two years passed, the lowest among the disciples present was at the second level of fetal soul realm, while Tan Yun was still at the first.
In summary, everyone recalled that Tan Yun had elevated his realm from the seventh level of spirit embryo realm to the ninth layer realm within just a few months after entering the outer sect, initially thinking he was a genius among geniuses. But now, it appeared that his talent had plummeted drastically after entering the fetal soul realm!
