At this moment, the disciples under Lu Wu were staring at the headless, limbless corpse of Gao Yang Wushuang, tears of sorrow and shame streaming down their faces.
Looking at the large, blood-stained area where Ouyang Qian's body was absent, they understood that Senior Sister Ouyang had been mercilessly dealt with by Tan Yun.
With a "thud!" Lu Wu knelt before Gao Yang Wushuang's body, crying uncontrollably, "Wushuang, Qian, my good disciples..."
In his hoarse cries, Lu Wu spat out a mouthful of blood!
He was filled with sadness and pain!
His three proud direct disciples had died one after another within a month, a blow he could hardly accept!
"Everything is gone, all gone... My good disciple Ye Ling... Wushuang... Qian, all gone..." Lu Wu laughed bitterly as he spat out three more mouthfuls of blood.
"Elder, please don't be sad, you still have us!" One disciple knelt heavily on the ground.
"Elder, you still have us!" More than two thousand nine hundred disciples, in unison, knelt down to pay their respects!
Lu Wu trembled as he stood up, looking at the disciples with tears blurring his vision, and said in a trembling voice, "Good children, I'm fine, you all can get up now."
"Let your Senior Brother Gao Yang be buried properly."
After Lu Wu spoke, he glanced at Tan Yun, a voice of grief and anger quietly reached Tan Yun's ears, "You killed my three direct disciples; sooner or later, I will ensure you have a miserable end!"
At this moment, Tan Yun could have revealed Lu Wu's threatening voice in front of Shen Subing and mentioned that he ordered Duan Zhen to kill him.
But Tan Yun did not do so!
There was no other reason but one: Tan Yun wanted to personally deal with Lu Wu in the future!
"Chief, I'm not feeling well, so I will take my leave," Lu Wu said to Shen Subing before unleashing his Flying Sword and flying away.
Before leaving, he called out, "Elder Jiang!"
Jiang Xia shivered and immediately stepped onto his Flying Sword, following closely behind.
Jiang Xia thought about how his scheming had led Gao Yang Wushuang and Ouyang Qian to confront Tan Yun, and now that both were dead, he would undoubtedly face Lu Wu's wrath...
"You little brat, look at what you've done to yourself!" Shen Qingfeng hurriedly came before Tan Yun, supporting him and scolding, "I heard about your life-and-death battle with the two."
"With your strength, it would have been more than enough to kill one of them. Why did you have to take the risk of facing both at the same time?"
Tan Yun's voice was weak, but his gaze was extremely firm, "Elder Shen, since they intended to kill me, how could I let one of them go? The most terrifying enemy is the one hiding behind you, isn't it? I don't want to kill one person and have the other lingering in my mind."
"Sigh, alright, you're severely wounded, don't say more." After a moment of surprise, Shen Qingfeng advised.
"Senior Brother Tan..." The herb garden disciples surrounded him, each one filled with excitement.
At that moment, Shen Subing walked toward Tan Yun gracefully, and all the disciples immediately stopped their discussions, eager to witness how the Chief would reward Tan Yun.
"Tan Yun, you are seriously injured; there is no need for you to be formal," Shen Subing spoke, her voice authoritative yet pleasant, reaching everyone's ears, "I have a question to ask you, and you must answer truthfully."
"Disciple obeys," Tan Yun replied weakly.
Shen Subing nodded slightly, "What is your Fetal Soul?"
She did not ask about the sword formation, considering it a matter of the disciples' privacy.
Tan Yun replied without hesitation, "Disciple can wield the power of gold; it should be the Golden Fetal Soul, which I only realized after joining the Danmai."
"Then let me ask you this, I vaguely saw that you used the powers of Wind and Thunder along with Wood in the sword formation; how do you explain that?" Shen Subing's brows lightly furrowed.
"Reporting to the Chief, this is a sword formation I inadvertently acquired; it naturally carries three types of elemental powers," Tan Yun replied.
