Chapter 45: The Cuckoo Crying Blood
Tan Yun gazed towards the Hall of Time and Space, his eyes shimmering with brightness. In an instant, waves of light golden spiritual power swirled around him, increasing his speed by twenty percent!
"This kid is only at the eighth layer of spirit embryo realm, yet his speed is so fast! Hurry, chase him!"
The nine black-clad figures erupted with spiritual power, their shadows resembling nine brilliant spirit dragons that swirled atop the rooftops under the night sky...
After a brief moment, Tan Yun shot down from the top of a building like a sharp arrow, skimming the ground as he entered the Hall of Time and Space. With a wave of his right hand, twelve mid-grade spirit stones flew out from the Qiankun Ring and accurately activated the formation eyes of twelve teleportation arrays!
In the next moment, as the twelve teleportation arrays trembled simultaneously, a law enforcement disciple guarding the arrays vaguely saw a blurry figure flash past him, and then the twelve arrays returned to calm.
"Am I seeing things, or did a ghost just pass by?" The law enforcement disciple rubbed his eyes in confusion. At that moment, a gust of wind approached, transforming into nine masked men appearing before him.
"How dare you! Sneaking around in the middle of the night, what are you up to?" The law enforcement disciple said with righteousness.
"I don't have time to waste with you. Tell me which teleportation array Tan Yun entered!" The leading masked man said, refusing to take no for an answer. "If you don't say, I'll kill you right now!"
When the law enforcement disciple, at the ninth level of spirit embryo realm, realized he couldn't discern the cultivation levels of the nine men, he trembled in fear. "Brothers, the twelve teleportation arrays lit up simultaneously just now. I didn't see which teleportation array Tan Yun entered."
"Useless trash!" The leading masked man cursed loudly before turning to one of the black-clad figures, commanding, "You immediately gather the others. Have them reach the twelve small secret realms, guarding the teleportation arrays leading back to the sect while searching and killing Tan Yun!"
"Yes!" The black-clad figure quickly disappeared within the Hall of Time and Space.
"Brothers, I just remembered." At this moment, the law enforcement disciple hurriedly said, "Twenty-five days ago, I was also guarding the teleportation array when Tan Yun went to the Snowy Domain Fierce Valley. He has been there for twenty-five days. He is familiar with the terrain and will likely escape there again."
The leading black-clad man nodded and then looked at the other seven. "Three of you come with me to the Snowy Domain Fierce Valley, while the rest split up and enter any secret realm!"
...
The leading black-clad man and three others entered the snowy, stormy Snowy Domain Fierce Valley through the teleportation array. They immediately released their spiritual senses to the fullest, covering the snow-covered land within a radius of over ten miles.
"Hahaha, he actually escaped into the Snowy Domain! He’s seven miles to the east, hurry up and chase!"
"Chase!"
With a loud roar, the four quickly dashed towards Tan Yun...
At the same time, in Xue Ziyan's boudoir within the outer sect.
Xue Ziyan, who was deep in sleep, was suddenly awakened. She looked at Mu Mengyi, who burst into the room with tear-filled eyes, and her sleepiness vanished, replaced by anxiety. "Senior Sister Mu, what happened? Why are you crying?"
"I thought you were going to die..." Before Mu Mengyi could finish her sentence, her face turned pale. "It’s a trap! Tan Yun..."
Mu Mengyi turned and ran out of the room frantically, leaving a wailing voice echoing in Xue Ziyan's ears, "Ziyan, hurry to my building! Tan Yun is in danger!"
Wearing a white nightgown, Xue Ziyan quickly grabbed her purple skirt and jumped out of the window. In the blink of an eye, she was dressed mid-air, transforming into a series of purple shadows darting through the dark night...
