In this place of darkness, Tan Yun decided that once his injuries healed, he would immediately head to the Inner Sect's market!
At this moment, Shen Wende looked at Shen Qingfeng, his white brows quivering, "Who injured Tan Yun?"
Shen Qingfeng looked at Tan Yun with admiration, "Just an hour ago, Tan Yun fought against Li Zian. Brother Shen! To my utter surprise, Tan Yun actually killed Li Zian!"
"The proud disciple of Elder Twelve, Li Zian." As soon as Shen Qingfeng's words fell, deep shock erupted in Shen Wende's eyes, "Brother, is this true?"
"Absolutely true! I witnessed the entire battle between the two." Shen Qingfeng nodded emphatically.
"That's hard to believe!" Shen Wende's old body trembled slightly, "This Li Zian, I do have some impression of him. He is under Elder Twelve, ranked ninth in alchemical technique, and twenty-sixth in strength. How could he be killed by Tan Yun!"
Shen Qingfeng agreed, "Indeed, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it at all. Even now, I feel like it's a dream!"
After expressing his astonishment, Shen Qingfeng smiled and said, "Brother Shen, why not take Tan Yun under your wing?"
"That won't do." Shen Wende shook his head, "Brother, have you forgotten? Thirty years ago, when the Miss became the chief of the Danmai, she established the rule that all disposable disciples of the Danmai can never shed their status and become alchemical disciples."
"Hahaha, look at my old brain, my memory is getting worse." After saying this, Shen Qingfeng picked up Tan Yun and said goodbye to Shen Wende, preparing to leave.
"Brother, wait. The Miss asked me to inform you to go to the Ice Clear Hall at the hour of the Chen tomorrow." Shen Wende said.
"Ice Clear Hall?" Shen Wende asked in confusion, "Brother Shen, the Ice Clear Hall is where the Miss gathers the elders of the Danmai to discuss important matters. Why did she want me to go?"
"I don't know either, but you will find out tomorrow when you go." Shen Wende replied.
"Alright then, I will arrive on time at the hour of the Chen tomorrow." With doubts, Shen Qingfeng hugged Tan Yun and stepped onto his Flying Sword, soaring away from the summit towards Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain...
At the same time.
On Lu Dao Immortal Mountain, within a cave dwelling at the summit, Elder Twelve, Lu Wu, had just reattached Li Ziquan's severed leg and arm when hurried footsteps sounded from outside the cave.
From the sound of the footsteps, it was clear that the person was in a rush.
In the moonlight, a middle-aged man wearing a steward's alchemical robe appeared at the cave entrance in a flustered state, "Elder Twelve, something big has happened!"
Inside the cave, the burly Lu Wu frowned, "Steward Duan, come in and report."
"Understood." Steward Duan entered the cave, drenched in sweat, and bowed to Lu Wu, "Reporting to Elder Twelve, just over an hour ago, Li Zian's life lamp suddenly went out!"
"What did you say?" Lu Wu's eyes widened like copper bells.
"Elder Twelve, Li Zian is dead!" Steward Duan said angrily.
Before Lu Wu could speak, Li Ziquan, whose face was disfigured on the bed, shook his head violently with tears in his eyes, "Impossible... My elder brother has reached great perfection of the fetal soul realm, how could he be killed by Tan Yun? This is absolutely impossible!"
"Tan Yun?" Lu Wu glared at Li Ziquan with a fierce look, "Without a doubt, when your brother brought you here a few hours ago, he did not mention how you were injured, he only asked this Elder to save you and then left."
"Do you know something? Speak quickly!"
Hearing this, Li Ziquan replied fearfully, "Reporting to the Elder, this evening I went to the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden to collect spiritual herbs for alchemical refinement, but those disposable disciples did not prepare the herbs for me."
"Feeling aggrieved, I scolded a few of the disposable disciples and even slightly taught them a lesson. Unexpectedly, Tan Yun came at me fiercely and humiliated me severely."
"When my elder brother heard about it, he went to the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden to seek justice from Tan Yun. Now that my elder brother is dead, it seems it was that scoundrel Tan Yun who killed him!"
