Tan Yun accepted Shen Subing as his disciple, and Nangong Ruxue also became Shen Subing's student. This means that Nangong Ruxue is actually Tan Yun's grand-disciple.
Seeing her grand-disciple frightened, Tan Yun smiled slightly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay now."
"What do you mean it's okay now?" Nangong Ruxue said as tears streamed down her face.
Faced with her reprimand, Tan Yun frowned and coldly said, "You are just a flower in a greenhouse, ignorant of the dangers of the world!"
"What do you know? Do you even understand what you're saying?"
"You don't even understand that being merciful to the enemy is cruel to yourself. How did Shen Subing teach you!"
After saying this, Tan Yun lost interest in Nangong Ruxue.
"Tan Yun! How dare you!" Nangong Ruxue glared at him, her finger jabbing, "You dare to slander my master!"
"Slander?" Tan Yun snorted coldly, "If you really think I'm slandering the chief elder, then go report me!"
After saying that, Tan Yun looked at Daniu and the others and instructed, "The time-space tunnel is about to close. When we return to the Eternal Immortal Sect later, don't let anyone know that I'm still alive."
Tan Yun could not let Ru Yan Wu Ji know that he was still alive; after all, he had spent a full three years in the eternal land, which seemed incredible to outsiders. He didn’t want people from the Eternal Immortal Sect to worry too soon!
"Understood, we will listen to you." Daniu and the thirty others replied in unison.
Then, Tan Yun turned back to Nangong Ruxue, "And you can't say anything either."
"Why should I listen to you?" Nangong Ruxue sneered, "I want to say!"
"Whoosh!" Tan Yun's figure flashed, and in the next moment, Nangong Ruxue's eyes widened as she felt his grip on her neck!
"If you don't listen to me, I'll end you right now!" Tan Yun growled.
"You... you..." Nangong Ruxue was instantly teary-eyed, seemingly overly frightened, "I'll listen to you."
"Good, that's more like it!" After releasing her, Tan Yun turned around, a smile creeping onto his lips. He certainly didn't want to kill his own disciple, merely trying to scare her.
Tan Yun shuddered, and instantly, his skin cracked, rendering his face unrecognizable, completely losing his original appearance!
"What are you doing, Boss?" Daniu asked in confusion.
"If I don't do this, won't Ru Yan Wu Ji recognize me?" Tan Yun forced a smile through the pain, "Let's go, back to the Eternal Immortal Sect!"
With that, he vanished in a flash, crossing a thousand meters and disappearing into the time-space tunnel.
Then, Nangong Ruxue, Daniu, and the other thirty-one all stepped on their Flying Swords and flew into the time-space tunnel...
At the same time.
In the Eternal Immortal Sect, at the Eternal Time-Space Holy Ground.
In the Number One Jade Tower, Ru Yan Wu Ji and several hundred elders from the Inner Sect and Immortal Sect of the Eternal Immortal Sect sat uneasily.
In the Number Two Jade Tower, Zhuge Yu and nine elders from the Divine Soul Celestial Palace wore worried expressions, their faces filled with anxiety!
In the Number Three Jade Tower, Dantai Long and the nine great inner sect chiefs shared the same sentiment.
At this moment, in the Eternal Time-Space Holy Ground, down to the two hundred thousand inner disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect, up to the high-ranking members of the three great ancient sects, everyone was fixated on the time-space tunnel that had opened in the void.
It should be known that the testing disciples could return to the Eternal Immortal Sect through the time-space tunnel in just half an hour, but now?
Just like the last trial, this time the time-space tunnel had been open for a full hour, and still, no one had emerged!
"What the hell is going on?" Ru Yan Wu Ji cursed inwardly, "In the last trial, only Chen Er returned alive from our Eternal Immortal Sect. Is it possible that this time, our sect's testing disciples suffered heavy casualties again?"
"No, it can't be! Absolutely impossible! This time, the Huangfu Sacred Sect only had a hundred disciples participating, while our sect had two thousand four hundred and fifty disciples!"
