"Do you miss them?" Yu Yunxi transmitted her thoughts.
Tan Yun then communicated with the women inside the Tower of Longing for the Lord, saying, "I will immediately return to the Eastern Continent Divine Domain to inquire whether this commander has any offspring. If so, I will disguise myself as one of them and sneak out of the city gate."
Subsequently, Tan Yun returned to the Eastern Continent Divine Domain, and after three months of inquiries among the populace of the Eastern Continent Ancestral Dynasty, he learned that the commander's name was Luo Chengren, and he had no children, but he had a second brother named Luo Chengci.
"Whoosh!"
An old man in a blue robe with white hair flew down from the sky and landed at the city tower.
"Second brother, what brings you here?" Luo Chengren asked with a smile as he looked down from the tower.
"Big brother, after I came out of seclusion, I learned that you came to guard this place, so I came to see you," Tan Yun, disguised as Luo Chengci, replied with a smile.
"Come up!" Luo Chengren waved his hand to Tan Yun.
"Alright!" Tan Yun smiled, soared into the air, and landed on the tower, standing face to face with Luo Chengren.
"Not bad, not bad. It’s been many years since we last met, and you have finally made great progress, advancing to the sixth layer of the dao emperor realm," Luo Chengren said, his expression one of shock. He then asked, "You traveled such a long way just to see me?"
"Of course not," Tan Yun chuckled, lowering his voice as he said, "Big brother, I want to refine the Supreme Dao Emperor Pill, but I'm just missing the water attribute Divine Herb known as Sands of the Divine Herb."
"This Sands of the Divine Herb is located in the Sea of Demons. I was hoping you could make an exception and let me out," Tan Yun continued.
"Big brother, I promise that once I find the Sands of the Divine Herb, I will return immediately."
Upon hearing this, Luo Chengren's expression became troubled as he shook his head and said, "Second brother, it’s not that I am unwilling to help you, but the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to leave the Eastern Continent Divine Domain."
"Big brother, please help me out!" Tan Yun looked at him with pleading eyes. "I really need the Sands of the Divine Herb."
"Moreover, the emperor does not allow anyone to leave because he is worried about the Immortal Ancient Divine Race escaping from the Eastern Continent Divine Domain."
"But I'm different! I am your brother, and I believe the emperor won't be angry if he finds out," Tan Yun argued.
After a moment of hesitation, Luo Chengren finally said, "Alright, but you must return early, second brother."
"Okay, big brother," Tan Yun smiled.
"Buzz—"
Luo Chengren raised his right hand and summoned a token. A beam of light erupted from the token, soaring into the sky. Immediately, the once empty sky trembled slightly, revealing a towering array, within which a transparent giant gate materialized.
"Wait!"
Just as Tan Yun was about to fly out of the array, a cold voice rang out from the sky. In the next moment, eight white-haired old men flew in at high speed, surrounding Tan Yun in the center.
The eight were the eight great offerings of the Eastern Continent Divine Sect.
Tan Yun hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Xuan Yuan Rou, who possessed the spirit clan divine eyes, saying, "Rou'er, I can’t discern the cultivation levels of these eight men. What is their strength?"
Inside the Tower of Longing for the Lord, Xuan Yuan Rou's expression changed dramatically as she replied through voice transmission, "Among the eight, there are two at the third layer of the dao ancestor realm, three at the fourth layer, and three at the fifth layer."
After Xuan Yuan Rou relayed this information, Yu Yunxi in the tower also inquired about the strength of the eight men. Upon learning of their power, a resolute look appeared in her beautiful eyes as she thought, "Tan Yun is definitely no match for these eight men. No matter what, I must protect him!"
