After Zhang Yizhong finished speaking, he hurriedly left.
Tan Yun could tell from his demeanor that the matter he mentioned must be significant!
Tan Yun quickly rushed to the Long Wind Palace and saw Xuan Yuan Chang Feng lying quietly on the bed, unconscious and missing an arm.
"Chang Feng, wake up... you need to wake up!" Xuan Yuan Ling Er cried, tears streaming down her face. "Please wake up and tell me, my father is definitely not dead, right?"
"Second Young Miss, don’t panic. Let me take a look at Brother Chang Feng's injuries first," Tan Yun comforted her before starting to examine Xuan Yuan Chang Feng's condition.
As Tan Yun checked, Xuan Yuan Ling Er stood by, in a state of despair, her tears flowing endlessly.
The news of Xuan Yuan Hao Kong's death hit her like a bolt from the blue!
She had just broken through and intended to share the news of her advancement to the tenth level of the refining immortal realm with her father, yet she was met with the devastating news of his demise.
After examining, Tan Yun discovered that Xuan Yuan Chang Feng's injuries were extremely severe and that he needed to rest to recover.
Thus, Tan Yun immediately summoned the supreme time-space holy tower and placed Xuan Yuan Chang Feng inside the second layer.
One day outside equaled ten years inside the tower. In just a moment, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng's injuries healed, but he remained dazed, still in shock from losing an arm.
Tan Yun then brought him out of the Immortal Holy Tower.
At the same time, at the peak of Xuan Yuan Sacred Mountain, Zhang Yizhong had entered the thirty-sixth hall and faced a girl in a green dress, his expression one of panic. "City Lord, something terrible has happened!"
The girl in the green dress was none other than the current City Lord of Xuan Yuan Immortal City: Xuan Yuan Rou!
"Steward, what could be so alarming?" Xuan Yuan Rou asked, her delicate brows slightly furrowing.
Zhang Yizhong, heartbroken, said, "Reporting to the City Lord, twelve years ago, Master and Generals Zhuge and Sima led the three armies in battle against the enemies of the Abandoned City. Generals Zhuge and Sima betrayed us."
"And then they killed Master..."
Xuan Yuan Rou abruptly stood up, her stunning features revealing disbelief and sorrow. "How could this happen?"
"I had suspected Sima Yongzheng of colluding with the enemy, but I never thought he would betray us!"
"My uncle... is he really gone?" Xuan Yuan Rou's beautiful eyes were brimming with tears as she choked out, "He truly is not here anymore?"
"I don't believe it... I don't believe it. I need to ask Chang Feng myself!"
With that, Xuan Yuan Rou soared out of the hall, resembling a celestial maiden, and rapidly descended from the peak of Xuan Yuan Sacred Mountain, flashing into the Long Wind Palace.
"Chang Feng, speak! My father is not dead, right?" Xuan Yuan Ling Er shook Xuan Yuan Chang Feng, crying.
But aside from shedding tears, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng remained as dazed as a wooden chicken.
"Chang Feng!" Xuan Yuan Rou, with tear-filled eyes, looked at the still dazed Xuan Yuan Chang Feng and urged, "Please say something! My uncle is not dead, is he?"
Xuan Yuan Rou, in her tears, glanced at Tan Yun and coldly said, "Who are you? Get out of my way!"
Tan Yun, staring into Xuan Yuan Rou's tear-filled sapphire-like eyes, felt his heart tremble. "Spirit clan blue pupils? Could she be..."
"Why are you still standing there? Get out!" Xuan Yuan Rou's voice became sharp.
"I, Tan Yun, take my leave." Tan Yun furrowed his brow and was about to leave when Xuan Yuan Chang Feng, who had remained silent, finally spoke. "Brother Tan, don’t go. My uncle has something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun sighed deeply and nodded.
Xuan Yuan Chang Feng slowly turned to Xuan Yuan Rou, and suddenly, as a seven-foot tall man, he broke down in tears, "Sister, my uncle is really dead... Ah!!"
It can be said that Xuan Yuan Hao Kong's death affected Xuan Yuan Chang Feng just as much as it did Xuan Yuan Ling Er!
His father had passed away early, and Xuan Yuan Hao Kong had treated Xuan Yuan Chang Feng like his own kin. Coupled with the fact that Xuan Yuan Chang Feng had followed Xuan Yuan Hao Kong into battle, their bond was evident.
