Three days later, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng returned to the City Lord's Mansion with ten thousand stone pillars, handing them over to Tan Yun.
"Brother Tan, I heard you have only recruited over one hundred eighty thousand Immortal Soldiers?" Xuan Yuan Chang Feng said with a furrowed brow, "Including the veterans, we only have three hundred thousand warriors. How can we compete with the Abandoned City?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun smiled lightly, "It’s not about quantity, but quality. Give me three hundred thousand elite soldiers, and I can defeat three hundred billion enemies!"
"Hahaha, Brother Tan is quite confident!" Xuan Yuan Chang Feng chuckled, "By the way, where is your cousin? Let her come out; I want to have a chat with her."
"Or you can let me into your Immortal Holy Tower to find her."
Tan Yun shook his head in response, "Yingying is in seclusion and cannot be disturbed. I need to refine the Formation Base now, so I don’t have time to accompany you."
After saying that, Tan Yun entered the VIP Pavilion, leaving Xuan Yuan Chang Feng feeling quite gloomy.
After reaching the third floor, Tan Yun summoned the Immortal Holy Tower, then entered the sixty-sixth layer of the Immortal Ring that contained the ten thousand stone pillars.
Tan Yun then sat cross-legged and began to refine, controlling eleven primordial chaos divine swords to draw formation patterns on each stone pillar one by one!
After spending three months in the tower, Tan Yun successfully refined the ten thousand Formation Bases!
Each base, ten zhang thick and a thousand zhang tall, was engraved with enormous scales, vivid and exquisitely beautiful.
"It's time to set up the Ten Thousand Dragons City Defense Formation!" A charming smile curved at the corner of Tan Yun's mouth.
As Tan Yun left the VIP Pavilion and appeared at the City Lord's Mansion, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng, who had been waiting outside, asked curiously, "Brother Tan, let me see the Formation Bases you refined."
Then, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng infused his immortal sense into the Immortal Ring that contained the ten thousand Formation Bases. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Brother Tan, why are the scales engraved on each Formation Base different from one another?"
"They are the scales of a particular species."
Tan Yun smiled, "Dragon Scale Patterns."
"Oh!" Xuan Yuan Chang Feng responded, seeming to understand, then looked at Tan Yun with pleading eyes, "Brother Tan, I miss that icy beauty, Yingying. It feels like three autumns in a day without seeing her. Please let me meet her, okay?"
Tan Yun sighed deeply and said earnestly, "She really isn’t suited for you."
"Hey, Brother Tan, do you really consider me a brother?" Xuan Yuan Chang Feng said with a serious face, "I’m willing to introduce my beautiful and matchless City Lord sister to you. Aren’t I being generous?"
"And you? You won’t even let me see your sister."
Hearing this, Tan Yun frowned and softly said, "Yingying, why don't you talk to Chang Feng?"
In the next moment, accompanied by a fresh fragrance, Tuoba Yingying, dressed in a white dress whiter than snow, appeared out of thin air in front of Tan Yun.
She coldly looked at Xuan Yuan Chang Feng and said, "Follow me."
Then, Tuoba Yingying turned gracefully and walked toward the back garden. In her mind, she heard Tan Yun's voice, "Yingying, I won’t interfere with whatever happens between you two. Just don’t hold any prejudice against him because he is Xuan Yuan Rou's third brother."
"I understand," Tuoba Yingying replied through her thoughts, and then she and Xuan Yuan Chang Feng arrived at the ethereal back garden.
"Miss Yingying, I..." Xuan Yuan Chang Feng began, only to be interrupted by Tuoba Yingying, "I never considered marrying a man, and I won't in the future."
"Yingying, can you at least let me finish?" Xuan Yuan Chang Feng looked at Tuoba Yingying, his eyes full of tenderness.
Tuoba Yingying pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Xuan Yuan Chang Feng gazed at Tuoba Yingying deeply and said softly, "When I was in the Mortal Plane, I had no interest in any woman from the Cangling Continent."
