“Ha ha ha… ah ha ha ha…” The woman in a black dress wore a tragic smile as she looked at Tan Yun, mockingly saying, “Since you’re not afraid, why are you panicking?”
Tan Yun pretended to be earnest and replied, “I just want to tell you that Xiao Yutian has the heart of a beast despite his human face. He deceived you!”
Hearing this, the woman in a black dress laughed bitterly, saying, “Don’t try to sow discord in front of me! I won’t believe you!”
“Fine, since you don’t believe it, let’s not discuss this.” Tan Yun hurriedly said, “As long as you don’t self-destruct the saint king embryo, I promise to let you go. Let’s pretend we never met today, how about that?”
In the desperate eyes of the woman in a black dress, the desire for life reignited, and she firmly thought to herself, “Yes, I can’t die. I haven’t avenged myself yet! I absolutely cannot die!”
She then looked at Tan Yun and questioned, “As long as I don’t self-destruct the saint king embryo, can you guarantee that you will let me go?”
“Definitely.” Tan Yun replied, “But you have to swear not to tell anyone, including your so-called master, about our encounter today.”
“That’s not a problem; I can swear.” The woman in a black dress said, “But you also have to swear that you won’t make a move against me.”
“Alright.” Tan Yun raised his right hand, pointing to the heavens like a sword, “I, Tan Yun, swear that as long as you swear not to tell anyone about our encounter, I will not make a move against you. If I break this vow, I will die on the spot.”
Upon hearing this, the woman in a black dress secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her delicate hands rose, and she sincerely said, “I, Baili Yan'er, swear that I will not tell anyone about the primordial supreme I encountered today, or else I shall not have a good death!”
After the oath, the slightly protruding forehead of Baili Yan'er settled down.
“Baili Yan'er?” Tan Yun frowned, “That name sounds familiar… oh, I remember now, you were one of the Four Great Beauties of the Primordial Chaos Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.”
“I heard that you fell into the demonic path 360,000 years ago.”
After speaking, Tan Yun sized up Baili Yan'er and muttered to himself, “She really is beautiful.”
Baili Yan'er raised an eyebrow, her voice weak, “The supreme lord is joking…”
Before she could finish, Baili Yan'er suddenly trembled violently, her delicate features twisting as if she were enduring great pain.
She held her head with both hands and rolled in the void in anguish, tears streaming down her face.
After three breaths, Baili Yan'er collapsed softly into the void, her consciousness gradually blurring.
“Hmm?” Tan Yun furrowed his brows, puzzled, “Logically speaking, the backlash from her saint king soul shouldn’t be severe enough to make her like this!”
“Whoosh!”
Tan Yun dove down, wrapping his right arm around Baili Yan'er.
“What… are you doing…” Baili Yan'er, in a daze, opened her beautiful eyes and weakly said, “Let me go…”
“If I let you go, you will fall into my heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation and be crushed to pieces.” Tan Yun said calmly, “Are you sure you want me to let you go?”
Saying this, Tan Yun was about to loosen his grip on Baili Yan'er.
Baili Yan'er’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she gathered all her strength to say, “Don’t let me go, I haven’t avenged myself against Celestial Master Lingxia yet. I cannot die…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Baili Yan'er fell into unconsciousness.
“So she has a grudge against Celestial Master Lingxia as well.” Tan Yun thought to himself. As he held Baili Yan'er and flew down, he made a quick decision and released the heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation. Eleven primordial chaos divine swords flew into Tan Yun’s mind.
Soon after, Tan Yun single-handedly carried Baili Yan'er and landed on the desolate plains. He summoned the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens and placed Baili Yan'er in the third layer. After this, Tan Yun returned to the second layer to begin recovering from his injuries…
