Tan Yun finished speaking and shook his head with a smile. However, Bo Xu, who had been crying and making a scene earlier, was now completely drunk and unaware of his words.
At this moment, Shen Subing looked at Tan Yun and nodded, saying, "Husband, General Baifeng is a good person. We should help him in the future."
"Hahaha, good, good, good." Ouyang Duantian looked at his future son-in-law with increasing satisfaction...
Two and a half hours later, the night had grown deep.
As Tan Yun and others drank to the point of drowsiness, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from downstairs.
Tan Yun released a divine consciousness comparable to a second-class half-saint, covering the entire tavern, and discovered a group of uninvited guests had arrived in the first-floor hall.
There were about a hundred people in total, among whom Tan Yun recognized one—none other than Han Sui!
The remaining hundred were all nine-star divine soldiers.
At this moment, Han Sui looked at the tavern owner with an arrogant expression, saying, "Have you seen this kid?"
As he spoke, Han Sui released a burst of divine power, forming an image.
The man in the image was none other than Tan Yun!
Seeing this through his divine consciousness, Tan Yun transmitted a message to Shen Subing and the others, saying, "Someone has come. Don't make a sound."
After saying this, Tan Yun noticed that the tavern owner spoke up, "Lord Guan, please wait. I'll go call my subordinates and ask if they have seen him."
Guan Zhan nodded, saying, "Hurry!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The tavern owner hurriedly left to inquire with the subordinates.
At this time, Guan Zhan was filled with anger, saying, "Damn it, we've searched through a third of the tavern and still haven't found that Jing Yun kid!"
"This brat insulted even my Guan Zhan's men. If I catch him, I'll definitely flay him alive!"
In the ninth-floor pavilion, Tan Yun retracted his divine consciousness and transmitted a message to everyone, saying, "Guan Zhan has brought people to find me."
Xue Ziyan asked, "Brother-in-law, what is their strength?"
Tan Yun replied, "One hundred and one nine-star divine soldiers, plus Han Sui, makes a total of one hundred and two people."
Xue Ziyan casually replied, "With their strength, brother-in-law, you could wipe them out in an instant. Just let them come up; we're not afraid of them!"
Tan Yun shook his head and transmitted, "We may not be afraid of them, but Guan Zhan is, after all, the younger brother of our minor divine general."
"If we kill Guan Zhan now, it will only complicate things for Bo Xu."
Then, Tan Yun thought for a moment and said, "How about this: The War of the Divine Generals is in a month. Let’s hold back for this month, and after I obtain the title of Divine Soldier, if Guan Zhan still doesn’t retreat, I will deal with him!"
"You all take Bo Xu and enter the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens. We will leave for now."
Upon hearing this, everyone took the drunken Bo Xu and entered Tan Yun's Tower of Ascending to the Heavens. Subsequently, Tan Yun transformed into a beam of light, shooting out from the ninth-floor window and disappearing into the night sky...
At this time, the tavern owner hurriedly arrived at the first-floor hall, bowing to Guan Zhan and saying, "Lord Guan, I've found out that Jing Yun and the others are in the ninth-floor pavilion. I'll take you there right away!"
"Good!" Guan Zhan responded, his face filled with murderous intent, and he followed the tavern owner to the ninth-floor pavilion.
However, upon entering, he found the place completely empty!
"They've escaped!" Guan Zhan kicked over a wine jug in frustration.
Then, he flew out of the door and window, releasing his divine consciousness to cover the night sky, but he did not detect Tan Yun's figure!
"Jing Yun, I will catch you sooner or later!" Guan Zhan said fiercely.
...
One hour later.
Tan Yun landed in front of a grand and imposing building.
This building was Bo Xu's temporary residence in the military camp.
After pushing the door open and entering, Tan Yun arrived at the third floor and placed the unconscious Bo Xu on a couch. Then, he transmitted a message to Shen Subing and the others inside the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens, saying, "You all stay in the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens to cultivate."
