As the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range loomed ahead and the Huangfu Secret Realm shrank to just a million miles, Tan Yun, who was resting in the training room, heard the joyful voice of Tang Mengyi from outside, “Tan Yun, I saw Ziyan!”
“Ziyan?”
Tan Yun opened his eyes, a deep yearning evident in his gaze. He stood up and stepped out of the training room, smiling, “Where is she?”
Back when Tang Mengyi was still an Outer Sect Disciple of the Huangfu Sacred Sect, she and Ziyan were inseparable, like sisters.
During this time, although she trusted that Ziyan had the strength to defeat Nie Rou, she still worried about unforeseen events. Now that she found out Xue Ziyan was not only safe but also brimming with vitality, she was naturally very happy.
At that moment, Tang Mengyi's voice also reached the ears of others resting in the Immortal Ship in different training rooms.
“Sister Tang, did you find Ziyan?” Si Hong Shiyao and Dantai Xian'er rushed out from their training rooms, excitement written all over their faces.
Soon after, Shen Subing, Nangong Yuqin, Tang Yongsheng, Gongsun Ruoxi, Feng Qingcheng, and others also emerged from their respective training rooms, looking at Tang Mengyi.
Tang Mengyi happily replied, “That girl is right outside the Huangfu Secret Realm!”
Upon hearing this, everyone released their spiritual senses, akin to an invisible tide, sweeping over the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range and enveloping the exit of the Huangfu Secret Realm. When they saw Xue Ziyan, they couldn’t help but laugh.
At that moment, outside the Huangfu Secret Realm, Xue Ziyan stood with her hands on her hips, her face flushed with anger as she exclaimed loudly, “I’m so furious! I’ve attacked for three days, and I still can’t break open the Secret Realm Gate!”
“Those inside, I can guess it was Shangguan Ya who reconfigured the defense array!”
“Now that Shangguan Ya must have been killed by my brother-in-law, as for your Outer Sect Young Palace Master Nie Rou, she has also been eliminated by me!”
“Those inside, hurry up and open the Secret Realm Gate for me. As long as you open it, I can consider sparing you. Otherwise…”
Before Xue Ziyan could finish her sentence, a strange, mocking voice of an old man echoed from within the Huangfu Secret Realm, “Tsk, tsk, tsk, keep blowing!”
“With Tan Yun able to kill our Palace Master? With you thinking you could kill our Young Palace Master? I think your brain is flooded, hahahaha!”
“Cut the nonsense, old man is telling you, the Huangfu Secret Realm is already ours at the Six Heavens Mystic Palace. Moreover, with my great perfection of the domain胎 realm, I can’t see your strength. You must be at the transcendence realm.”
“But so what? If you have the capability to break it open! Hehehe, but it’s a pity; you simply can’t!”
Hearing this, just as Xue Ziyan was about to speak, an elder in his eighties inside the Huangfu Secret Realm laughed heartily at a Sacred Soul Realm steward, “Disciple, hasn’t she been calling herself ‘old lady’ all this time? You should help her, call her ‘mother’.”
“Alright, disciple obeys.” The middle-aged man shouted in a mocking tone towards the Secret Realm Gate, “Mother!”
Outside the Secret Realm Gate, Xue Ziyan was so furious she nearly spat blood. It was the first time she’d encountered such shameless people.
“I’m so mad!” Xue Ziyan's graceful figure was surrounded by the five powers of heavenly dao—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—like shimmering divine dragons swirling around her. Holding the Five Spirits Divine Sword, she desperately slashed at the Secret Realm Gate!
“Bang!”
“Rumble—”
With a deafening noise, the Secret Realm Gate shook violently, leaving shallow scratches, but it couldn’t be shattered!
As Xue Ziyan trembled with anger and had no way to break through, suddenly, a voice from behind her emerged from the void, “Ziyan, don’t be mad, brother-in-law is here to help you vent!”
