Against The Sky Supreme

"Great, twelve is enough," Tan Yun replied with a smile.

"Tan Yun, since you and I have both taken this pill, we no longer need..."

"Tan Yun, since you and I have already taken this pill, you don't need more," Yu Yunxi said. "Why do you need so many?"

"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed; you'll understand in the future," Tan Yun replied enigmatically.

"Alright," Yu Yunxi smiled gently.

"Yunxi, let's go bid farewell to Senior Pang," Tan Yun said.

"Mm," Yu Yunxi slightly nodded and followed Tan Yun into the pavilion where Pang Xiao resided.

"Senior Pang, I must take my leave," Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi said while bowing to Pang Xiao.

"Where are you going?" Pang Xiao asked.

"To the Eastern Continent Divine Sect," Tan Yun's words startled Pang Xiao.

"Tan, my young friend, are you courting death?" Pang Xiao's expression changed at the mention of the Eastern Continent Divine Sect. "The Eastern Continent Divine Sect is a den of dragons and tigers!"

"Senior, you need not worry; even if it's a den of dragons and tigers, I must go," Tan Yun said firmly.

"Then you must be extra careful. Do not act impulsively. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to Dao Kun?"

"I will be careful, and you must take care as well," Tan Yun replied. "In half a year, after I rescue Su Bing and the others, I will come back to bid you farewell."

"Yunxi," Tan Yun signaled to Yunxi and began to perform the disguise technique. His original features aged and changed, transforming into the appearance of a middle-aged man shortly thereafter.

After Yu Yunxi performed her disguise technique, she instantly transformed into Fang Yuan.

"Heavens! How did you do that?" Pang Xiao stared at the two in disbelief. "Tan, my young friend, aside from your white hair, you look exactly like Elder Cheng Kun from the Inner Sect!"

"And you, girl, you look just like the second elder Fang Yuan from the Eastern Continent Divine Sect!"

"This is too incredible! With my realm, I can't even tell that you're in disguise; how is that possible?"

Tan Yun smiled slightly and said, "Take care, we are leaving."

At that moment, even the tone and voice in which Tan Yun spoke were identical to Cheng Kun.

"Wait, Tan, my young friend," Pang Xiao said anxiously. "I am not unfamiliar with Cheng Kun and Fang Yuan; they are both at the eighth level of the dao king realm, but you are only at the ninth layer of the daoist realm, and the other is at the sixth level of the dao god realm!"

Tan Yun smiled slightly and replied, "This elder and his wife went to the Sea of Demons and encountered a powerful sea beast attack, ultimately sustaining serious injuries and experiencing a drop in their realm."

"And my injuries were the most severe; my hair turned white overnight."

Pang Xiao's eyes brightened, and he gave Tan Yun a thumbs up, then clasped his fists and said, "Elder Supreme, Elder Two, allow me to see you off."

"Okay," Tan Yun smiled and then walked out of the pavilion with Yu Yunxi.

After sending off the two, Pang Xiao muttered to himself, "If they can return safely with their wives in half a year, then their cunning is truly terrifying."

"This young man is no different from a genius."

...

"Disciple greets Elder Supreme and Elder Two!"

As Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi moved through the crowd, an Inner Sect disciple from the Eastern Continent Divine Sect immediately knelt on one knee, showing utmost respect.

"There's no need for formalities," Tan Yun said lightly.

"Yes, Elder Supreme," the disciple replied as he got up, and Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi continued toward the city gate.

Along the way, no matter if they were outer sect or inner sect disciples, even elite disciples, everyone treated Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi with utmost respect.

As Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi stepped out of the Eastern Region Fang City, a hundred inner sect disciples guarding the gate all knelt on one knee, exclaiming, "Disciple greets Elder Supreme and Elder Two!"

"Rise," Tan Yun instructed the disciples before coldly watching Han Xing rushing toward him from the rocking chair.

"Subordinate greets Elder Supreme and Elder Two," Han Xing nodded and bowed like a servile dog, "I heard that Elder Supreme and Elder Two went to the Sea of Demons for a hunt and returned so quickly!"
