Tan Yun did not expect that Xue Ziyan still remembered this matter. He definitely couldn't let Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shi Yao know about it!
Thus, he smiled without revealing any emotions and said, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you after the big competition ends. There are too many people and too many eyes at the summit; this isn't the time to talk."
With that, Ziyan grinned and left Tan Yun's side.
"Uh, nothing much," Tan Yun replied casually.
"Hmph, you aren't telling the truth just by looking at you." Mu Mengyi fixed her gaze on Xue Ziyan. "Tell me, what did you go to Tan Yun's back for?"
"Sister Mu, I won't tell you; this is a secret between me and my brother-in-law." Under the starry sky, Xue Ziyan remained carefree, but thinking about Tan Yun's gaze on her chest made her heart race.
At the other end of the summit, Gongsun Ruoxi stood alone, gazing into the distance, her eyes filled with intense hatred.
She didn't know who she was or where she came from, only that she had been picked up by her grandfather, Gongsun Yangchun...
The next day, as the sun rose in the east and the hour of Chen approached,
Shen Subing maneuvered the Spirit Vessel back to Coiling Dragon Peak. She arrived in front of Tan Yun, Zhong Wu Shiyao, Mu Mengyi, and Xue Ziyan, presenting a High-Grade Treasure Flying Sword with a death attribute to Mu Mengyi.
After happily accepting the Flying Sword, Mu Mengyi felt quite touched. She learned from Shen Subing that Shen Subing had rushed to the Immortal Sect Market City overnight to buy a Flying Sword for her...
At the hour of Chen, the disciples of the Nine Meridians stood quietly in formation at the summit.
On Crouching Dragon Rankings No. 3, thirteen strong participants for the second match stood in place.
On the Jade Tower, Dantai Xuanzhong looked down at the thirteen people and announced loudly, "We will now proceed to the second round of pair battles, where one person can advance directly to the third match."
With a wave of Dantai Xuanzhong's right arm, thirteen fist-sized light barriers appeared above the heads of Tan Yun and the others.
Inside the light barriers, there were six pairs of identical numbers, along with one single number.
If Tan Yun drew the number 1, he would face another disciple who drew 1. Among the thirteen, whoever drew 7 would advance directly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The thirteen released their spiritual power, hitting the thirteen light barriers. In an instant, the barriers rippled, revealing a number in each.
A moment later, the numbers and light barriers vanished into thin air.
The results were: the disciples of the Holy Spirit Lineage, Xiang Shengtian, drew 1, while the Wind Thunder Lineage's Lord Tsukkomi also drew 1, meaning the two would face off in the first match of the second round.
Second match: Ancient Soul Lineage Jun Bu Ping vs. Ancient Soul Lineage Shangguan Bingbing.
Third match: Wind Thunder Lineage Gu Yishan vs. Holy Spirit Lineage Ke Xinyi.
Fourth match: Talismans Lineage Huangfu Tingfeng vs. Chen Song.
Fifth match: Tan Yun vs. the dark demon Kang Shiyuan!
Sixth match: Mu Mengyi vs. Xiao Qingxuan!
In the end, Xue Ziyan advanced directly!
As soon as this result came out, the crowd erupted in an uproar, their eyes filled with various expressions as they looked at Tan Yun and Kang Shiyuan, not expecting the two to meet in the second round!
In everyone's hearts, Tan Yun and Kang Shiyuan belonged to the same ruthless category!
They could also see that both Tan Yun and Kang Shiyuan were certainly among the top six of the thirteen!
At the same time, among everyone, the first four matches seemed to have a significant power discrepancy, so they estimated that someone would concede.
But the most exciting were the fifth match between Tan Yun and Kang Shiyuan, and the battle between Mu Mengyi and Xiao Qingxuan!
These two matches were bound to be contests between strong opponents, and who would win was still unknown!
At that moment, Xue Ziyan was laughing with joy, not expecting to advance so easily!
