The crowd quieted down.
Her skirt fluttered as she flew down on a Flying Sword, anxiously saying, “You’re seriously injured, quickly enter the tower and let Wende help heal you.”
Tan Yun replied, “I appreciate your concern, Senior Brother Tan, but I need to check on the others first.”
Shen Subing frowned, “You can’t delay this any longer. Your injuries are far too severe. If you don’t take care of them now, it could lead to complications later.”
Tan Yun nodded, realizing the urgency of the situation. He took a deep breath and stepped toward the Time-Space Pagoda.
As he entered, the atmosphere shifted, and he felt a strange energy enveloping him. The pagoda's interior was filled with an ethereal light, and he could see Shen Wende waiting for him.
“Come on, Tan Yun, let me take a look at you,” Shen Wende urged, his expression serious.
Tan Yun complied, feeling the warmth of the healing energy as Shen Wende began his work.
Outside, the other disciples exchanged glances, their expressions reflecting a mixture of concern and anticipation.
Shen Subing spoke up, “We need to be vigilant. We don’t know what dangers may still be lurking.”
The disciples nodded in agreement, understanding that the threat wasn't over yet.
Meanwhile, Tan Yun felt the energy coursing through him, slowly mending his wounds. He closed his eyes, allowing himself to relax in the presence of the healing aura.
But deep down, he remained alert, knowing that the peace might not last long.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Shen Qingfeng and Shen Wende landed on their Flying Swords in front of Shen Subing.
Shen Subing seemed to think of something, her brows furrowing tightly. “Wende, I’ve already had Qingfeng raise a flag on Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain. If Master sees it, he will go to Huangfu Shengxing. I need to return to Ice Clear Immortal Mountain and wait for Elder De’s news.”
“Leave the healing of Tan Yun to you. Make sure to treat him well; there must be no mistakes!”
Hearing this, Shen Wende bowed and said, “Miss, you can rest assured. I will definitely heal Tan Yun.”
“Mm.” Shen Subing nodded slightly, then thought of Tan Yun’s many enemies. If they learned that Tan Yun had ascended to the top of the tower, they would likely find ways to take action against him, not giving him a chance to grow.
As she pondered this, she looked at the elders and disciples and said decisively, “All elders and disciples, listen up!”
“We are here, subordinate and disciple!” everyone responded in unison.
With certainty, Shen Subing declared, “Regarding Tan Yun ascending to the 108th level of the pagoda, without my permission, anyone who dares to tell outsiders from the Danmai will be killed without mercy! This includes the elders!”
The elders and disciples were puzzled but complied. After a moment's thought, many mistakenly believed that the Chief wanted to use Tan Yun as a trump card for the Nine Meridians Grand Competition in over two years!
After Shen Subing issued her order, the elders and disciples naturally dared not leak anything.
Shen Subing turned to Du Chen and instructed, “Elder Two, after you reward Tan Yun with the Mysterious Azure Flame, personally tell Elder Twelve what I said. Have Lu Wu ensure his disciples are restrained, and absolutely cannot leak anything when Tan Yun ascends the tower!”
“Understood, I will follow orders.” After Du Chen took the command, he stepped on his Flying Sword and flew into the 108th level of the pagoda.
Following this, Shen Subing let everyone disperse and flew on her sword towards Ice Clear Immortal Mountain.
Now that the alchemical refinement of the Revival Sovereign Pill was imminent, she eagerly hoped to hear from Huangfu Shengxing and Dantai Zhongde that Master had reached Huangfu Shengxing.
She had entrusted all her hopes to her Master. Without her Master, she could hardly imagine what would happen when she went empty-handed to the Immortal Sect Danmai to meet the elders over four months later!
