Chapter 84: Tan Yun Returns
Shen Subing gazed at the empty night sky, her delicate head nodding as she said, “Disciple believes in Master’s words... Disciple looks forward to Master’s prophecy coming true...”
Half an hour later, under the starlit sky, a ghostly figure faintly appeared, quietly descending upon the Lamp Soul Immortal Mountain, a hundred miles west of Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain.
With a flicker of shadows, Tan Yun stopped outside a grand hall, the words “Lamp Soul Palace” on the plaque above the door particularly striking!
Tan Yun's five fingers moved rapidly, twelve strands of spiritual power slowly rotating in the air, suddenly shooting into the tightly closed hall door.
In an instant, the surface space of the hall door rippled, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to calm, having been unlocked by Tan Yun.
With a sweep of his right arm, a layer of halo emerged around the entire Lamp Soul Palace, signifying that Tan Yun had activated a soundproof barrier.
Inside the Lamp Soul Palace, the life lamps of the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden disciples were set up, and due to the prohibitions in place, no one was guarding them.
Elder Niu, who managed the Lamp Soul Palace, lived on the Immortal Mountain a thousand miles away, and Tan Yun was well aware of this.
Tan Yun pushed the door open and was greeted by the sight of over ten thousand life lamps, of which only seven hundred were burning.
Tan Yun knew that the extinguished life lamps belonged to the former disciples of the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden, while the lit life lamps now belonged to the living disciples.
“Buzz!”
The space trembled slightly as Tan Yun's powerful spiritual sense instantly enveloped all the life lamps, searching for the location of his extinguished life lamp.
After a few breaths, Tan Yun retracted his spiritual sense and transformed into a shadow, appearing before an extinguished life lamp, under which the name “Tan Yun” was clearly inscribed.
“Offer!”
Tan Yun formed a technique with his left hand and immediately felt a wave of dizziness; a wisp of ethereal milky-white soul emerged from the top of his head, lingering in front of him.
“Go!”
Tan Yun uttered the word “go,” and in an instant, the wisp of soul entered the life lamp.
Following this, the life lamp slowly began to burn.
Once everything was set, Tan Yun exited the Lamp Soul Palace, restored the prohibitions on the door, and then stepped onto the golden dragon spirit lion, shooting back to the summit of Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain moments later!
Tan Yun’s body seemed like a spinning top as he drilled into the mountain from the left cliff face of the summit, destroying the path behind him as he went!
Upon returning to the coffin, Tan Yun destroyed Pang He’s remains, quietly lying in the coffin, waiting for the arrival of morning!
The next day, as the sun rose.
“Boom!”
A tremendous sound erupted from Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain, startling the disciples of the herb garden who were either asleep or cultivating!
“What the hell… is it an earthquake? Or is someone attacking us?” Da Niu burst out of the house, fully awake.
He looked at the crowd that had rushed out from their homes, wiped the drool left at the corner of his mouth from his dream, and asked, “Brothers, where is that sound coming from?”
“Da Niu, it seems to be from the summit!” a disciple replied.
“The summit? Damn… with so many enemies of Senior Brother Tan, could it be that his grave has been bombarded?” Da Niu jolted with alarm and flew toward the summit on his flying sword.
The other disciples quickly followed suit, stepping onto their flying swords and pursuing!
Before the crowd could reach the summit, they all halted mid-flight, staring up in horror at a familiar figure hovering above the summit!
“Damn… am I seeing things?” Da Niu rubbed his eyes vigorously, and when he confirmed that there was indeed a figure at the summit, he suddenly turned back to the others, trembling and speaking in a quivering voice, “B-Brothers… did you see the figure above the summit?”
