The hundreds of elders from the Eternal Immortal Sect saw Ru Yan Wu Ji spitting blood from anger and immediately began to offer words of comfort.
At this moment, on the Second Jade Tower, Zhuge Yu stood up with concern, gazing at Ru Yan Chen, and hurriedly asked, “What about the casualties among the disciples of our Divine Palace?”
Just as Ru Yan Chen was about to respond, Nangong Yuqin, looking haggard and lost, descended from the time-space tunnel and stumbled onto the high platform!
“Master…” Nangong Yuqin fell into Zhuge Yu's embrace, crying like a child.
Her sorrow, of course, stemmed from Tan Yun!
Seeing Nangong Yuqin in such deep grief, Zhuge Yu was extremely panicked, his voice shaking violently, “Qinger, don't cry! Quickly tell me, what about the other disciples of our palace?”
“Are they still in the time-space tunnel and have not emerged?”
Nangong Yuqin choked as she pulled away from Zhuge Yu’s embrace, whispering, “Master, I’m sorry. I couldn’t protect them. They’re all dead.”
“All dead?” Zhuge Yu's plump body trembled violently, his mind going blank. He forced a smile, “Qinger, you must be joking, right?”
“Our palace is in the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range, the foremost of the three great ancient sects! All three thousand disciples of our palace are the most talented among the Inner Sect, how could they possibly die!”
“Qinger, you must not joke with me…”
Before Zhuge Yu could finish his sentence, Nangong Yuqin cried out in despair, “Master, I’m not lying! They really are all dead!”
“How could this be… how could this be!” Zhuge Yu trembled, and a mouthful of blood surged from his throat, but he swallowed it back down!
“Qinger, tell me how they died!” Zhuge Yu gritted his teeth.
“Reporting to Master, a few of our disciples died under unknown circumstances, but most were killed by Tan Yun alone…”
Before Nangong Yuqin could finish, Zhuge Yu suddenly turned around, glaring at Dantai Xuanzhong, eyes blazing with fury, “Dantai Xuanzhong, remember this!”
“Although that scoundrel Tan Yun is dead, he killed so many disciples from my palace, and this debt I will hold you accountable for!”
“Someday, I will make your Huangfu Sacred Sect pay a heavy price!”
At this moment, Ru Yan Wu Ji stood side by side with Zhuge Yu, staring at Dantai Xuanzhong on the Third Jade Tower. His old voice was filled with endless coldness:
“Dantai Xuanzhong, I declare here today that your Huangfu Sacred Sect will eventually face extermination!”
Upon hearing this, Dantai Xuanzhong was filled with rage, when suddenly, Xue Ziyan on the high platform spoke up!
She angrily pointed at Zhuge Yu and Ru Yan Wu Ji, scolding, “Do you know why over seven hundred of our disciples died?”
“Why don’t you ask Nangong Yuqin and Ru Yan Chen how they survived!”
“If you don’t know, I can tell you. The disciples of my sect who survived were all rescued by my brother-in-law from being hunted down by your disciples!”
Xue Ziyan became more and more agitated as she pointed at Nangong Yuqin and Ru Yan Chen, “You guys say something! Tell your master and father how you managed to survive in such a humble and pitiful manner!”
Ru Yan Wu Ji suppressed the impulse to kill Xue Ziyan. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Ru Yan Chen, “Chen’er, what does this little girl mean?”
Ru Yan Chen remained silent, looking down.
“Is it hard to say?” Xue Ziyan angrily retorted, “Fine, I’ll say it for you!”
“If it weren’t for my brother-in-law Tan Yun at that time, not allowing us to kill you and Nangong Yuqin, you would have been dead a hundred times over!”
“Your bodies would have rotted in the eternal land long ago!”
“I really regret listening to my brother-in-law and not killing you. I should have torn you apart!”
Hearing this, Ru Yan Wu Ji pointed angrily at Xue Ziyan, “You little girl, you’re looking for death!”
“Buzz!”
The space trembled as Dantai Xuanzhong appeared in front of Xue Ziyan, his eyes filled with intense malice, “Nangong Yuqin, Ru Yan Chen, you know very well whether Tan Yun spared your lives.”
