Chapter 74: Heart Like a Knife
At this moment, if one could see through the black-dressed girl’s three souls and seven spirits, they would be surprised to find strands of black energy continuously drilling out from within...
After a full hour, Tan Yun discovered that when the Soul Extinguishing Forbidden Breath ceased and the energy stopped escaping from the three souls and seven spirits, he felt a sense of relief, and with a snap of his fingers, the thousand dragon breaking forbidden formation suddenly collapsed.
Before the black-dressed girl could fall onto the couch, Tan Yun reached out to catch her and gently laid her down.
Immediately, Tan Yun checked her pulse, feeling that although the heartbeat was weak, it was undeniably present.
Tan Yun turned to look at the elders and said, somewhat tired, “Everyone, don’t worry. In at most an hour, Tang Girl will wake up.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked!
“Senior, how long until Chief Tang recovers?” Elder Five, a middle-aged woman, asked, her face filled with joy.
“Once she wakes, I will conduct another diagnosis.” After speaking, Tan Yun looked at Elder Five and asked, “What’s your name?”
“I am Chen Shuiyue,” Elder Five said respectfully.
“Shuiyue, go and bring Su Bing here.” Tan Yun stated without a doubt, “Also, tell Zhou Wuyun to come over!”
“Yes, Senior, I will go immediately.” After Chen Shuiyue responded, Lu Yi wanted to say something, but she swiftly disappeared from the room.
“Senior, can Chief Tang really wake up?” Dantai Zhongde asked with a smile.
“Of course,” Tan Yun replied confidently.
…
In the following hour, aside from Lu Yi, whose expression fluctuated between dark and light, the other elders stared at the black-dressed girl with hopeful eyes.
Just as the hour was up, the girl’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her beautiful eyes, looking at the familiar room. A weak voice emerged, “Am I not dreaming?”
“You are not dreaming; you have come back to life,” Tan Yun smiled and said.
“It was you who saved me, right?” A faint smile appeared on the black-dressed girl’s pale face, her eyes gradually reddening. A single tear fell, moistening the hair by her ear. “You were calling for me earlier, weren’t you?”
“Mm, it was me,” Tan Yun replied.
“Thank you, Senior. I am Tang Xinying, thank you for saving my life.” Tang Xinying’s voice was particularly weak. She tried to struggle to sit up, but her delicate body remained motionless, unable to even move her slender fingers.
Gratitude and the joy of rebirth filled Tang Xinying’s heart as she stared intently at Tan Yun, tears streaming down her face.
“Chief!” The elders gathered around:
“Great! Chief, you’re alive…”
“Chief, do you know? You scared us to death…”
“Chief…”
The elders spoke softly to avoid disturbing Tang Xinying.
“Everyone… don’t… worry,” Tang Xinying said, her face as pale as paper, filled with deep emotion.
The elders bowed deeply to Tan Yun, “Thank you, Senior, for saving us. Please accept our bow!”
As they spoke, all the elders knelt and bowed to Tan Yun.
Except for one person: Lu Yi.
Lu Yi waved his robe sleeve and knelt facing Tan Yun, “Thank you, Senior, for saving the elder supreme.”
Though it seemed sincere, he was already seething with anger inside!
He wished for Tang Xinying to die, so he could ascend to the position of Chief and become the respected one of the Immortal Sect Danmai!
“Alright, everyone, get up,” Tan Yun waved his hand.
“Thank you, Senior,” the elders stood up.
“Senior… how do you address yourself…” Tang Xinying spoke intermittently.
“I am Su Bing’s master,” Tan Yun’s voice still sounded old.
“Su Bing… Elder Two…” Tang Xinying seemed to recall something. Unable to move, she could only turn her eyes to the left, but inside the room, there was no sign of Elder Two or Shen Subing.
Even though she had been unconscious for months and could not open her eyes, she still knew that Elder Two from the Holy Gate Danmai planned to execute the Elder Two of the Immortal Sect Danmai and have Shen Subing accompany her in death.
