Tan Yun did not immediately head to Ice Clear Immortal Mountain to find Shen Subing.
He released his spiritual sense, instantly enveloping the peak. After carefully observing the colors of the rocks and soil, he ultimately confirmed that no one had disturbed his grave, nor had anyone burrowed into the coffin from some place on the peak to verify if he was truly dead.
Confirming that no one had disturbed his grave and with everyone believing he was dead, Tan Yun was about to head toward Ice Clear Immortal Mountain when suddenly, an anxious voice came from the back mountain:
The familiar voice reached Tan Yun's ears, and his heart tightened. Could it be that Shen Subing was in trouble?
Tan Yun turned around abruptly, looking at Shen Qingfeng, who was flying down with sword control on the peak. With a furrowed brow, he asked, “I am Subing’s master. What happened?”
"Thud!"
“I am Shen Qingfeng, a servant of Shen Subing, and also a steward of the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden.” Shen Qingfeng was frantic and bowed deeply, saying, “Senior, I have finally waited for you. Please, quick, save my young lady!”
“Whoosh!”
Tan Yun landed on the peak atop the golden dragon spirit lion, immediately supporting Shen Qingfeng and urged, “Speak quickly, what happened to Subing?”
With tears in his eyes, Shen Qingfeng said, “Senior, over a year ago, you refined a supreme revival sovereign pill, right? Initially, after my young lady administered it to Chief Tang, Chief Tang indeed regained his sanity.”
“However, over the next six months, Chief Tang took one pill each month, but after six pills, his condition rapidly deteriorated.”
“It is said that this matter alarmed the elder of the Holy Gate Danmai to diagnose Chief Tang, and the result was that both the heavenly soul and central soul among the three souls and seven spirits were damaged. Under such circumstances, taking the revival sovereign pill to treat the life soul has become a chronic poison!”
“Now, Chief Tang has been in a coma for nine months, and the situation is extremely dire.”
“The elder of the Holy Gate Danmai has already executed the elder two for misdiagnosing Chief Tang’s life soul as damaged!”
“The elder of the Holy Gate Danmai said that Chief Tang is beyond saving and that when he dies, my young lady should be buried with him!”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun was filled with rage, “Buried with him? I’ll accompany his old mother! The misdiagnosis by the elder of the Holy Gate Danmai has nothing to do with Subing! Damn it!”
Suppressing his anger, Tan Yun anxiously inquired, “Where is Subing now? How is she doing?”
Wiping his tears, Shen Qingfeng said, “My young lady has been imprisoned in the Holy Gate Danmai's Emerald Cold Pool for over half a year. A month ago, I went to see her once, and she was beaten to the point of being unrecognizable… sob sob…”
“Creak, creak!”
Tan Yun clenched his fists tightly, “Who did this!”
“Senior, I don’t know…” Shen Qingfeng cried out, “When I asked my young lady, she had already been tortured to the point of losing her sanity, but she kept calling out for her master…”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun thought of every smile and frown of Shen Subing before, and now, imagining her current suffering, he felt a pang in his heart.
“Senior, I beg you, please go save my young lady; it will be too late if you delay!” Shen Qingfeng pleaded, wanting to bow again, but Tan Yun supported him and spoke firmly, “Don’t worry; I will go save her. Just give me a moment to think of how to save her!”
“Alright, alright, you think.” Shen Qingfeng stood respectfully to the side, afraid of disturbing the elder in front of him.
Under the Turtle Breathing Cold Veil, Tan Yun's brows would furrow and then relax, feeling that this matter was incredibly tricky!
First, the elders of the Holy Gate Danmai were all experts of the divine soul realm. If he went there directly, he would be exposed immediately as someone at the ninth layer of the fetal soul realm. After all, his Turtle Breathing Cold Veil could only prevent prying eyes from those at the great perfection of the refining soul realm.
