Huangfu Tingfeng glanced at Tan Yun thoughtfully and said, “Everyone need not doubt, to be honest, it was I who begged Senior Brother Tan not to kill Xinyi.”
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood—it all made sense now!
At this moment, only Tan Yun, Ke Xinyi, and Mu Mengyi were present.
Indeed, it was the case. Although Huangfu Tingfeng did not understand why Tan Yun and Ke Xinyi managed to resolve their conflicts, he knew that without a reasonable explanation, everyone would inevitably speculate wildly, not knowing where their thoughts would lead.
...
In the following month, among the 129 people who entered seclusion to break through their realms, 128 of them successfully reached the first layer of the refining soul realm!
The last one to succeed was none other than Zhong Wu Shi Yao. Before her seclusion, she was at the ninth layer of the fetal soul realm, and now she had achieved great perfection of the fetal soul realm, while also faintly touching upon the barrier of the first layer of the refining soul realm!
After opening her beautiful eyes, Zhong Wu Shi Yao flashed and appeared right in front of Tan Yun, smiling brightly, "I have advanced to great perfection!"
Tan Yun embraced Zhong Wu Shi Yao’s delicate waist, lifting her up and spinning her around, whispering, "You’re amazing, little treasure!"
"Hehe, of course!" Zhong Wu Shi Yao said happily, her cheeks slightly flushed, looking stunningly beautiful. "Did you miss me?"
"I did, thinking about you every single moment." Tan Yun bent down to kiss Zhong Wu Shi Yao’s forehead.
"Hmph, sweet talker." Zhong Wu Shi Yao playfully stuck out her tongue, then slipped out of Tan Yun's embrace, taking Mu Mengyi's hand and chatting happily...
A moment later.
Tan Yun, with a solemn expression, summoned everyone, totaling 278 people.
This included Tan Yun and 255 Danmai disciples.
The Fumai had four disciples, including Huangfu Tingfeng, and the rest had died.
The Qimai had seven disciples, including Gongsun Ruoxi and Zhong Wu Shi Yao. The others were all dead.
There were five disciples in the Zhenmai, with the rest deceased.
The Wind Thunder Lineage had only Lord Tsukkomi Lu Ren left, while all others had perished.
Ke Xinyi was the disciple of the Holy Soul Lineage.
In the Ancient Soul Lineage, there were Shangguan Bingbing, Jun Bu Ping, Xiao Qingxuan, and Baili Longtian.
Xue Ziyan was the disciple of the Five Soul Lineage.
At this moment, among the one thousand disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect participating in the trial, except for the unknown fate of the Five Soul Lineage disciples, all the rest that were alive were here.
Despite the heavy casualties, it could not be denied that compared to the three thousand who died in the divine soul celestial palace, leaving only Nangong Yuqin alive, and the two thousand from the eternal immortal sect, with only Ru Yan Chen barely surviving, the Huangfu Sacred Sect had achieved an unprecedented victory!
At this moment, Tan Yun looked at everyone, his sword-like brows furrowed, his expression serious, "Everyone, next we are going to the Abyss of the Buried Gods to search for treasures."
"Except for Huangfu and the others, Danmai disciples know about the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon, so let me reiterate today."
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Tingfeng, Ke Xinyi, Xiao Qingxuan, and Baili Longtian looked at Tan Yun with confusion, not knowing what the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon he mentioned referred to.
Tan Yun spoke with a worried gaze, "Four months ago, Ruoxi was attacked by a third-stage tribulation period Wind Thunder Flood Dragon while passing through the Abyss of the Buried Gods. This Wind Thunder Flood Dragon came out from within the abyss."
The five words "third-stage tribulation period" were like a heavy bomb dropped into the minds of Huangfu Tingfeng and the others, causing a buzzing sensation!
It is important to note that a third-stage tribulation period demon beast is a powerful existence, not weaker than cultivators at the great perfection of the refining soul realm!
