"Big sister..." Nangong Ruxue knelt beside Nangong Yuqin, who was bleeding from seven orifices, crying uncontrollably.
Zhuge Yu's voice trembled as she extended her spiritual sense into Nangong Yuqin's body, only to find that her heart had already stopped beating.
"Qinger... my good disciple... how can you die like this? How am I supposed to face your father and mother?" Zhuge Yu wailed in despair, her heart breaking!
As the eldest princess of the Nangong Sacred Dynasty, Nangong Yuqin had been entrusted to Zhuge Yu when she fell unconscious. Now, if news of Nangong Yuqin's death reached the ears of the Nangong Sacred Lord, it would be disastrous!
"Sister..." Nangong Ruxue held the limp body of Nangong Yuqin in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Dantai Xuanzhong!" Zhuge Yu suddenly turned around, pointing angrily at Tan Yun, who was barely alive in Dantai Xuanzhong's arms. She roared like a madwoman, "Hand him over to me! I want to kill him!"
"Shut up!" Dantai Xuanzhong was consumed by rage. "Tan Yun and Nangong Yuqin set a life-and-death duel. Nangong Yuqin's death is solely her own fault for being inferior!"
"Dantai Xuanzhong, let me tell you!" Zhuge Yu's voice was hoarse, her eyes filled with malice. "Even if you hand Tan Yun over to me, it won't quell the Nangong Sacred Lord's rage!"
"No matter what, Tan Yun is your person; your Huangfu Sacred Sect can't escape responsibility! If the Nangong Sacred Lord sends troops against your Huangfu Sacred Sect, my Divine Soul Celestial Palace will definitely follow. At that time, just wait for your sect to be destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, the eight chief disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect were horrified, and the other disciples were anxious and restless!
Dantai Xuanzhong was a man of true character. He picked up the barely breathing Tan Yun and looked resolutely at Zhuge Yu, "My ancestor master's teachings have nine words!"
"Anyone who offends our Sacred Sect must be exterminated!"
"If the Nangong Sacred Dynasty and your Divine Soul Celestial Palace dare to come to my Huangfu Sacred Sect, my Huangfu Sacred Sect will not retreat!"
"Tan Yun is my Dantai Xuanzhong's person. If you have the ability, come and take his life. I don't mind killing you first!"
Dantai Xuanzhong's resolute words reached Tan Yun's ears, and he secretly rejoiced. Dantai Xuanzhong was a true man of iron and determination, not a coward who would abandon him for self-preservation!
"Good, good, good!" Zhuge Yu laughed angrily, "Dantai Xuanzhong, just wait for me!"
"Waiting is fine; I'm not afraid of you, woman!" Dantai Xuanzhong sneered.
"Little princess, don't stay with the Huangfu Sacred Sect anymore; come to my Divine Soul Celestial Palace." Zhuge Yu held the sobbing Nangong Ruxue in her arms and said.
Nangong Ruxue left Zhuge Yu's embrace, shook her head, and sobbed, "I appreciate your good intentions, palace master, but I won't leave the Huangfu Sacred Sect. My master treats me very well."
Nangong Ruxue's words deeply moved Shen Subing.
At that moment, Tan Yun, who was in Dantai Xuanzhong's arms, struggled to open his eyes and gazed at Zhuge Yu.
His face was bloodied, obscuring his expression, but he weakly trembled and said, "I'll tell you how to save her... but you have to agree to one condition."
Upon hearing that there was a way to save Nangong Yuqin, Zhuge Yu trembled with excitement, "Good, good, good! Just say it! As long as you can save her, I'll agree to one hundred conditions!"
"Well, then, two conditions..." Tan Yun's voice trembled, "First, today’s matter has nothing to do with the Huangfu Sacred Sect."
"I agree!" Zhuge Yu was so excited that she used "I" instead of "this palace master."
"Second, the bet must count... allow the disciples of my Huangfu Sacred Sect to participate in the Battlefield of the Gods for a hundred years... for trial..."
"Okay, I agree! Now tell me how to save Yuqin!" Zhuge Yu urged loudly.
Tan Yun's gaze became increasingly unfocused, his voice weak, "She burned her three souls and seven spirits... in the twelfth layer, box 188 of the wall during my assessment, there is a Soul Condensing and Spirit Gathering Elixir."
