Tan Yun shrugged, "Of course, courage is made of flesh."
Xianxian's eyes sparkled with admiration as she said, "Tan Yun, you are really amazing. With your seventh-grade emperor realm strength, you can easily kill a fifth-grade emperor sovereign!"
"Tan Yun, just how strong are you?" she asked curiously.
Hearing this, Tan Yun replied honestly, "I'm not afraid of eighth-grade emperor sovereigns, but if I face a ninth-grade emperor sovereign, the one who will die will definitely be me."
"Oh my gosh!" Xianxian had a look of disbelief, which was very cute. "Wow, that’s incredible!"
"You are the strongest man I've ever seen who can challenge those above your level. You wouldn’t happen to be a reincarnation of some big shot, would you?"
Tan Yun casually said, "I wish I were, but unfortunately, I'm not."
Xianxian's smile faded as she said worriedly, "Tan Yun, after all, Mozi Mansion's Mo Zhan is the young master of Mo Zhan Immortal City, with a status that can rank among the top hundred in the Primordial Chaos Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Did you not hesitate at all when you killed him?"
"What I mean is, aren't you afraid of retaliation from Mo Zhan Immortal City?"
Tan Yun took a deep breath, and his handsome face was filled with dominance. "Afraid? What is there to be afraid of? Killing is just killing."
"No matter what the enemy's identity is, how high their status is, or how noble they are, as long as they are my enemy, I will kill them."
Xianxian looked at Tan Yun, somewhat mesmerized.
"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Tan Yun chuckled awkwardly.
Xianxian gently shook her head, sincerely saying, "There’s nothing on your face. I just think you're a man who is not afraid of power and has great courage."
"Perhaps that's why Sister Shen and the others are willing to marry you."
Tan Yun teased, "Don't idolize me. Women who usually idolize me end up falling in love with me."
"Cut it out!" Xianxian shot a glance at Tan Yun, then immediately her beautiful eyes revealed a touch of tenderness. "The only man I admire is the primeval supreme."
"He is my idol and the person I like. If I ever marry, I want to marry a man like the primeval supreme."
Tan Yun smiled but did not reply.
Xianxian raised her eyebrows, staring at Tan Yun, "What are you laughing at? This is my serious admiration for him. What’s so funny about it?"
Tan Yun shrugged, "You've never even seen the primeval supreme, yet you claim to love him. Isn’t that funny?"
"Hey, hey, hey!" Xianxian glared at Tan Yun, "You are not allowed to slander my idol, or I will really be angry."
"Okay, okay, I won't slander your admired primeval supreme, is that alright?" Tan Yun said seriously.
"Hmph, that's more like it!" After a pause, Xianxian added, "Now, let's get down to business. I think Mo Changfeng and Mo Changsheng will definitely ensure that the general guarding the Heavenly Confinement Array's exit will hold the line, waiting for us to walk right into their trap."
"It doesn't matter. We can just use disguise technique at that point." Tan Yun said dismissively.
"That's not possible." Xianxian shook her head, her expression serious, "That Wan Baoshan has the Mirror of All Things Returning to the Source given by the nine heavens immortal emperor. This mirror can see through all disguise techniques, so ours won’t work."
Hearing this, Tan Yun was taken aback, "Wait, you mean the general guarding the array's exit is Wan Baoshan?"
"Yes, that's him." Xianxian knowingly asked, "What, do you know him?"
Tan Yun recalled the humiliating moments when he first entered Skyreach Immortal City and sneered, "Know him? Of course! I was just worried about where to find him. Since he is in the array outside the Soul-Eating Abyss, that makes things easier."
"I will destroy him sooner or later!"
"Oh, so you two have a grudge!" Xianxian replied, "I'm worried we won't be able to leave the Soul-Eating Abyss."
"Don’t worry, since I brought you in, I will naturally take you out safely." Tan Yun said, "Let’s go deeper into the Soul-Eating Abyss to look for the fire seed."
