At this moment, the remaining 71 people were excitedly rubbing their hands together, looking at the 49 people and shouting,
"Come, let us also feel the power of the sword formation!"
Immediately, for two full hours, the 71 people took turns to replace one another, experiencing the feeling of being a strong cultivator!
It felt as if with just a lift of their hand, they could annihilate a powerful adversary at the first layer of the refining soul realm!
Tan Yun looked around at the excited crowd and said solemnly, "I am teaching you this formation because we are all disciples of the Danmai. More importantly, it is to protect your lives."
"You need only to know that if I find out you teach it to others in private, don’t blame me for being heartless!"
The 120 people felt a chill in their hearts and immediately bowed, saying, "Senior Brother Tan, rest assured, we will never teach it to anyone else, including our families!"
"Good." After Tan Yun nodded in satisfaction, he looked around at the 120 people and added, "The important duty of protecting our secluded fellow disciples will now fall upon you. I will be leaving for a while."
Gongsun Ruoxi looked at Tan Yun, her mouth slightly open, just about to speak when Luo Fan furrowed his brow, worriedly saying, "Brother Tan, where are you going?"
"Currently, the main targets of the disciples from the divine soul celestial palace and the eternal immortal sect are you. You should stay here with us!"
The disciples echoed in agreement, hoping Tan Yun would remain.
"Thank you all for your concern." Tan Yun’s lips curled up slightly, a cold glimmer shining in his starry eyes as he stated firmly, "Now we will split into two groups."
"You stay here to close up and break through your realms. Mengyi, Ziyan, and I will take responsibility for eliminating the enemy!"
"When we have wiped out most of the disciples from the eternal immortal sect and the divine soul celestial palace, I will return to gather everyone and head to the Abyss of the Buried Gods for treasure hunting!"
Upon hearing this, the gratitude of the crowd towards Tan Yun was palpable.
"Tan Yun, Sister Mengyi, I want to accompany you; otherwise, I won’t feel at ease!" Zhong Wu Shiyao flashed in front of Tan Yun, her expression filled with worry.
"Little fool, don’t worry, the wind and thunder flood dragon is not a match for the big shots. Mengyi, Ziyan, and I have big guys protecting us, so we won't be in any danger." Tan Yun placed his hands on Zhong Wu Shiyao's fragrant shoulders and said gently,
"Besides, you are only at the ninth layer of the fetal soul realm right now. If you truly want to help me, just listen obediently and improve your strength quickly by practicing the technique I taught you."
"Alright then." Zhong Wu Shiyao bit her lip, raised her jade hands, and while adjusting Tan Yun's robes, she reminded, "You and Sister Mu, and Sister Ziyan, please pay attention to your safety. I will wait for you to come back here."
Then, Xue Ziyan, Mu Mengyi, and Zhong Wu Shiyao bid farewell, leaping onto the back of the golden dragon spirit lion with Tan Yun.
"Senior Brother Tan, Sister-in-law, take care on the way; we will wait for your return!" the Danmai disciples said in unison.
"Mm." Tan Yun responded, then commanded, "Big guy, go!"
"Roar!"
The golden dragon spirit lion flapped its wings, flying out of the forest and hovering in the azure sky.
"Brother-in-law, the trial area spans a radius of ten million miles; how are we supposed to find them?" Xue Ziyan asked, hands on her slender waist, pouting.
Before Tan Yun could respond, Mu Mengyi thoughtfully remarked, "Tan Yun, you must be planning to head to the entrance of the Abyss of the Buried Gods, waiting for an opportunity, right?"
"Only Mengyi understands me." Tan Yun chuckled before his expression turned serious, "Now the people from the divine soul celestial palace and the eternal immortal sect all want to eliminate us."
"The trial period in the eternal land is only one year. From the perspective of the enemy, due to the short duration, everyone has only two choices."
