Over eight hundred disciples stared at the corpses of Murong Kun and Linghu Changkong, momentarily unable to process what had just happened.
In their hearts, Murong Kun and Linghu Changkong were figures that no outer disciples dared to provoke, let alone the elders of the outer sect.
Yet now, they were dead, killed right in front of them!
At the same time, the disciples also recognized what kind of person Tan Yun really was.
Tan Yun was fearless in the face of danger, undaunted by power, and decisive in killing!
Once the crowd regained their composure, a petite female disciple suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, “What if Tan Yun is afraid that killing Murong Kun and Linghu Changkong will be exposed and wants to kill us to silence us!”
Her words sent a wave of fear and alertness through the crowd, and dozens of disciples immediately summoned their Flying Swords, ready to flee at any moment.
At that moment, Mu Mengyi stepped gracefully to Tan Yun’s side, looking at the anxious crowd, her red lips parting as her melodious voice, infused with confidence, spoke, “Everyone, don’t panic. Tan Yun is not the kind of person who would kill the innocent indiscriminately.”
“Buzz!” Tan Yun shook his body, shaking off the blood and sweeping his gaze over the crowd. “Everyone here is from the same sect as me. We will all enter the Inner Sect in the future and will occasionally meet again. If any of you intend to place me in a life-threatening situation in the future, I suggest you abandon that thought.”
“I, Tan Yun, have always followed the rules since joining the sect. I never initiate conflicts with others, but that doesn’t mean I am timid or cowardly.”
“Even if I killed them today, I did so according to sect rules. The rules state that anyone who attempts to kill may be killed in return without consequence.”
“Those who wish to kill me, unless I am dead, shall all be killed!”
After hearing Tan Yun's declaration that he bore no killing intent towards them, the crowd wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, feeling a sense of relief.
At that moment, a male disciple looked at Tan Yun and hesitantly asked, “Senior Brother Tan, may I ask you a question?”
“Go ahead,” Tan Yun raised an eyebrow.
“Senior Brother Tan, are you really just at the first level of fetal soul realm?” The male disciple voiced the curiosity of the crowd.
Everyone had never heard of a cultivator at the first level of fetal soul realm being able to kill someone at the fourth level.
“Of course not.” As Tan Yun spoke, he deactivated the hiding function of the primordial divine eye, revealing his true cultivation at the third level of fetal soul realm.
Upon realizing Tan Yun's true level, the hundreds of disciples at the third level informed the others at the second level.
The crowd continued to be astonished at Tan Yun's ability to challenge opponents at higher levels.
“Boom!”
At that moment, the towering Seed of Time and Space Sacred Tower emitted a loud noise.
The crowd turned towards the sound, and saw the closed tower door on the first level slowly opening.
Witnessing this scene, the disciples were overjoyed, dancing with excitement.
“Yay, amazing! The Seed of Time and Space Sacred Tower is opening!”
“Yes! We finally waited for this moment!”
“So exciting! A month inside is equivalent to fifty months outside!”
“The opening time of the Sacred Tower is brief; let’s hurry in…”
As one disciple flew towards the tower door on their Flying Sword, they noticed that although everyone was excited, they didn’t move right away. Instead, their greedy eyes were fixed on the Qiankun Rings that had fallen to the ground after the deaths of the over one thousand nine hundred individuals behind Tan Yun.
It was clear that everyone understood that these individuals had definitely gathered and stored some Soul Springs before dying, which they intended to cultivate after entering the Seed of Time and Space Sacred Tower.
Tan Yun glanced at the crowd, then waved his right hand. Over one thousand nine hundred Qiankun Rings floated up and were drawn into the Qiankun Ring on his finger.
