CHAPTER 12: It Turns Out to Be Her!
The elders were momentarily stunned, then furrowed their brows tightly. They had heard Shen Subing mention before that she had a master, and that the supreme Revival Sovereign Pill came from her master's hands.
The elders had previously been somewhat skeptical; when did Shen Subing take a master?
Now, it seemed that Shen Subing indeed had a master.
Upon hearing that someone wanted to take her, elder four, Lu Yi, felt displeased and frowned, clasping his fists, he asked, “May I ask how to address you, friend?”
“You, a mere elder in the divine soul realm, dare to call me friend? Have you lost your mind?” Tan Yun snorted coldly, “Do I need to repeat myself?”
“Senior, please do not be angry,” Dantai Zhongde hurriedly bowed to Tan Yun.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yi found himself in a difficult position. Not only was he unsure of the other’s origins, but seeing Dantai Zhongde’s unusually respectful demeanor towards Tan Yun made him think, “Who exactly is this person? Could he be someone from the sovereign?”
Thinking of this, Lu Yi quickly bowed and forced himself to say, “The punishment for Shen Subing was decided by us elders of the Sacred Sect’s Danmai; I do not have the authority to release her. Please do not make things difficult for me.”
Lu Yi also had some status and background; relying on the fact that the danmai chief was his master, he held a bit of confidence.
Seeing Lu Yi’s obsequious demeanor, Tan Yun knew he had intimidated him. He then stepped forward with a fierce look and said, “The Revival Sovereign Pill was forged by me; if you dare to catch me, release Subing!”
“This…” Lu Yi’s forehead was covered with fine cold sweat. The other elders looked at Lu Yi, each pondering their own thoughts.
Most of the elders seemed quite pleased to witness Lu Yi being reprimanded. Clearly, they were not fond of Lu Yi.
Indeed, among the thirty-eight elders of the Immortal Sect, only elder four, Zhou Wuyun, took Lu Yi's lead.
Tan Yun, fearing that he might have gone overboard, coldly snorted again, “Forget it; before me, you’re just a child. I can’t be bothered to argue with you.”
“Of course, thank you, senior, for your understanding,” Lu Yi said respectfully, while inwardly thinking, who do you think you are, shouting at me!
“What is your name?” Tan Yun coldly asked.
“I am Lu Yi,” Lu Yi still maintained his respectful demeanor.
Tan Yun said undoubtedly, “Lu Yi, elder four, is called Zhou Wuyun, right?”
“Yes, senior,” Lu Yi replied without standing up.
“Very good. If he dares to lay a finger on my disciple, I’ll make it clear right here that no one can save him!” Tan Yun suddenly shouted, “Open the hall doors; I will personally treat Tang Girl. We can discuss other matters after she wakes up!”
Everyone was taken aback! Their expressions filled with shock!
“Senior, Chief Tang has already been examined by elder two of the Sacred Sect. She is beyond saving,” Lu Yi said.
“A mere heavenly soul and central soul are damaged; as long as there is still a breath left in her, she can be treated. I see that elder two of the Sacred Sect has lived like a dog!” Tan Yun mocked, “A first-rate quack doctor; I truly wonder if your alchemical arts are just a load of rubbish!”
“Open the hall doors!” Tan Yun declared firmly.
As they listened to Tan Yun belittle elder two of the Sacred Sect, not only were the elders frightened, but even Dantai Zhongde was as well. He increasingly believed that Tan Yun was an ancient figure from the Huangfu Sacred Sect who had lived for tens of thousands of years!
“Alright, senior, please calm down. This way, senior,” Lu Yi immediately opened the doors to the Tang Sovereign Immortal Palace.
Lu Yi began to have some respect for Tan Yun. One could only wonder who would dare publicly humiliate elder two of the Sacred Sect; besides the sovereign, who else could it be? It must be an ancient figure who had been secretly cultivating!
