Tan Yun's expression was terrifyingly dark, knowing that Ru Yan Wu Ji was deliberately making things difficult for him!
But there was no other choice; he could only wait at the Mountain Gate!
The mountain wind howled, tousling Tan Yun's long hair. His iron-blue face gradually transformed into a cold smile!
He thought of Tan Yun's forty-eight-character strategy, which had already begun to be implemented. In a few hundred years, his Huangfu Sacred Sect would grow strong, and at that time, the hatred from before and the humiliation from today would require the Eternal Immortal Sect to pay with their destruction!
...
Soon, it was midday, and then dusk arrived.
“Tsk tsk, why hasn’t the Dantai Sovereign entered the Eternal Secret Realm? Is he waiting for this palace master? Hahaha!”
Suddenly, a mocking voice of a woman echoed from the sky. Dantai Xuanzhong, the nine great chiefs, and the disciples of Tan Yun turned to look, only to see a Spirit Vessel descending from the clouds.
At the front of the Spirit Vessel was the palace master of the divine soul celestial palace, Zhuge Yu, who looked down at the people of Huangfu Sacred Sect from the summit with a sneer.
Behind her stood the saintess, Nangong Yuqin.
Nangong Yuqin's skin was as white as snow, her features exquisite, exuding a noble yet cold aura, like a holy jade maiden from the Yaochi.
She wore a flowing pink gown that accentuated her tall and slender figure, and a waterfall of black hair cascaded down her elegantly carved shoulders, making her beauty breathtaking, a marvel of creation that elicited admiration!
However, at this moment, her gaze was fixed on Tan Yun at the summit, her beautiful eyes filled with endless killing intent!
After the grand competition of the four techniques ended last time, she was gravely injured and on the verge of death when Zhuge Yu brought her back to the divine soul celestial palace.
Following Tan Yun's instructions, Zhuge Yu hurriedly administered the High-Quality Respect Grade Elixir, the Soul Reversion Elixir, to Nangong Yuqin, allowing her to come back to life!
But Zhuge Yu did not tell Nangong Yuqin that it was Tan Yun who informed her how to save her. Naturally, she also did not allow the disciples who participated in the previous grand competition to tell Nangong Yuqin.
After Nangong Yuqin woke up, Zhuge Yu told her that she and Tan Yun were both gravely injured in their decisive battle, barely hanging on!
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yuqin was enraged! She resolved that the eternal land would be Tan Yun's death sentence!
Due to the grand competition of the four techniques, the divine soul celestial palace ultimately emerged victorious, earning the right for three thousand disciples to enter the eternal land trial.
At this moment, behind Nangong Yuqin, the 2,999 male and female disciples who had reached the great perfection of the fetal soul realm all fixed their malicious, ruthless, and resentful gazes on Tan Yun!
This was because Zhuge Yu had ordered that this time in the eternal land trial, Tan Yun must be killed!
“Hehe.” Tan Yun felt the waves of killing intent surrounding him. He looked up at the disciples behind Nangong Yuqin, coldly sneering in his heart, “The eternal land is your death sentence. Unless you hide and prevent me from catching you, otherwise, I'll kill every one I see!”
As for Nangong Yuqin, even though Tan Yun sensed her murderous intent towards him, he felt no desire to kill her!
This was because he remembered the sight of her falling beside him, on the verge of death, during their life-and-death duel months ago within the heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation.
At that moment, he had watched her dying and cried out in pain, as if he were about to lose the person closest to him!
From that moment on, Tan Yun made a firm decision to find out the reason behind it all!
What happened between him and Nangong Yuqin in their past lives or this life?
Therefore, Tan Yun would not kill Nangong Yuqin, at least not before uncovering the source of this inexplicable sorrow!
