Fang Zixi and Xin Bingshuan could never have imagined that Yu Yunxi would be a demon!
At the same time, both women understood that the enmity between the Demon Race and the Immortal Ancient Divine Race would likely affect Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi.
"Whether she is a demon or a human, I cannot let her go."
After saying this, Tan Yun thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Yu Yunxi is very likely in the Domain of Demonic Fury right now; she won't be in danger."
"Our priority is to enter seclusion and then take revenge!"
At this point, Tan Yun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Zixi, what about Dao Kun?"
Fang Zixi shook her head, "Over two million years ago, amidst the chaos, I was gravely injured and escaped the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace with Dao Kun and Bingshuan, but we got scattered while fleeing from the enemy."
"I have no idea whether he is alive or dead now."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun sincerely prayed that Dao Kun was still alive.
Tan Yun looked at Xin Bingshuan and asked, "What about Miao Qingqing and the others? Did they escape the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace?"
In an instant, Xin Bingshuan's beautiful eyes became moist, "Eighth Senior Sister, Senior Brother, and Second Senior Brother are all dead."
"Alas!" Thinking of the bold and carefree Miao Qingqing's death, Tan Yun sighed deeply, feeling truly sad. "Bingshuan, what about Yuxin?"
The Shangguan Yuxin Tan Yun mentioned was Fang Zixi's only disciple, who once had feelings for Tan Yun. She thought Tan Yun was dead, which was why she married Zhong Xing, the young master of the Zhong family.
Xin Bingshuan said, "At the time the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace was attacked, Yuxin happened to be visiting her husband's family. She is fine; you don’t have to worry about her."
"Then I can rest easy." After saying this, Tan Yun looked at Fang Zixi and asked, "How many disciples and high-ranking members do you think survived back then?"
Fang Zixi thought for a moment and replied, "There should have been about five hundred thousand disciples out on training, and for the higher-ups, maybe over a thousand."
"Mm." Tan Yun nodded and gently embraced Fang Zixi, saying, "The Northern Divine Palace was destroyed, the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace was slaughtered, and I wasn't there for you during your most painful times. I'm truly sorry."
"But please believe me, it won't be long before I take revenge with you. I will eliminate everyone who bullied you, leaving no one behind!"
With tears in her eyes, Fang Zixi nodded slightly. She was about to say something when suddenly, a respectful voice sounded from outside the Tower of Longing for the Lord, "I have urgent matters to report to the lord marquis!"
"You stay here; I’ll go take a look." After leaving this sentence, Tan Yun stepped out of the Tower of Longing for the Lord and saw a general in golden armor, whose cultivation level was indiscernible, standing before him.
"Who are you?" Tan Yun asked.
The general, who appeared to be around sixty years old, clasped his fists and replied, "Reporting to the lord marquis, I am Xiao Li, one of the ten marshals under the grand marshal of North Town."
"Oh, it's Marshal Xiao. Speak, what is it?" Tan Yun smiled.
"Lord marquis, the emperor has something to tell you. You better see it for yourself." As Xiao Li spoke respectfully, he waved his right arm, releasing a burst of ancestral power that condensed into a memory image.
In the image, the Western Continent Emperor sighed and said, "Marquis of Divine Valor, during your absence from court, the Elysium Sect..."
The Western Continent Emperor explained the dissolution of the engagement between Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi, as well as the forced agreement to betroth Yu Yunxi to Hu Yan Zhang while signing a blood pact.
"Xiao Zhang, I owe you and Xi'er an apology, but for the sake of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty, I had no choice but to act this way."
"I hope you can understand."
Upon seeing this, Tan Yun did not feel angry because Yu Yunxi was not actually the daughter of the Western Continent Emperor. The emperor had no right to meddle in Yu Yunxi’s marriage.
