"Tan, I know you are angry, but you must not act impulsively!" Luo Fan urged with a panicked expression. "Pang Tong is a powerful figure at the seventh layer of the refining soul realm!"
"Brother Tan, a gentleman seeks revenge; ten years is not too late, so just bear with it for now!"
Hearing this, Tan Yun's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Rest assured, Brother Luo. In my eyes, a seventh-layer refining soul realm expert is no better than a dog!"
"Besides, Pang Tong has already beaten you like this and broken Song Hong's leg. He can only repay this debt with his life!"
Seeing Tan Yun's murderous intent, Luo Fan knew further persuasion would be useless. He inwardly cursed himself for speaking too soon and revealing these matters to Tan Yun!
If Tan Yun were to lose his life over this, he would be the sinner!
"Brother Luo, stop guarding the Mountain Gate! Come with me for revenge!" Tan Yun pulled Luo Fan and directly leaped onto the Spirit Vessel.
"Brother Tan, I'm currently guarding the Mountain Gate. Leaving without permission will result in punishment..."
Before Luo Fan could finish his sentence, Tan Yun interrupted, "You’re hurt like this; what good will guarding the Mountain Gate do? I’ll find someone else to take your place later!"
Luo Fan, looking panicked, said, "Brother Tan, you may not know, but the one in charge of guarding the Mountain Gate is Elder Han: Han Yong."
"I only learned after coming to the Immortal Sect Danmai that the meritorious elder, Shen Subing, gave the elixir her master had given her to the ailing Chief Tang (Xinying), which only worsened his condition."
"As a result, Elder Lu Yi, the fourth elder, imprisoned the meritorious elder in the Emerald Cold Pool for half a year, where she suffered from Zhou Wuyun's lashings!"
"Later, the meritorious elder’s master revived Chief Tang and took the meritorious elder away while also killing Elder Zhou Wuyun!"
"And Elder Han, who is in charge of the Hall of Discipline, is Zhou Wuyun’s sworn second brother."
"This beast named Han is now deliberately targeting disciples under the meritorious elder. If I leave the Mountain Gate without permission, who knows how he would deal with me!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun understood what Luo Fan meant. The master of the meritorious elder was himself!
Tan Yun asked, "Brother Luo, now that Shen Subing is a meritorious elder, how can Han Yong still dare to bully you?"
Luo Fan sighed, "Brother Tan, to put it bluntly, the title of meritorious elder sounds nice, but you have no idea what kind of people the disciples under her are!"
"After the meritorious elder took office, there were only over a hundred disciples under her, including me, Song Hong, Junior Sister Mu, and others."
"Then Chief Tang summoned thirty-eight elders and asked each elder to allocate one hundred disciples to the meritorious elder, but nearly all the elders were reluctant."
"At that moment, Elder Lu Yi stepped forward and said that since Shen Subing was the meritorious elder, she must have extraordinary abilities."
"This old man suggested giving Shen Subing some disciples below the fifth layer of the refining soul realm, so everyone could see her ability to cultivate disciples!"
"Brother Tan, clearly Elder Lu Yi did this not just out of goodwill but also because his son Lu Wu died in the Inner Sect and he vented his resentment on the meritorious elder!"
After hearing this, Tan Yun inwardly swore, "This old man will be dead by my hand sooner or later!"
Having made up his mind, Tan Yun continued, "I understand now; it seems that the meritorious elder has indeed had a hard time in the Immortal Sect Danmai."
Tan Yun's gaze turned cold. "Brother Luo, once you recover, return to guard the Mountain Gate. If Han Yong dares to trouble you, I will not let him off!"
"Now, lead the way. Take me to see Mengyi first, and along the way, tell me all about the situation in the Immortal Sect, especially which scoundrel wants to lay his hands on Mengyi!"
Hearing this, though Luo Fan didn't know where Tan Yun's confidence came from, he complied and left the Mountain Gate without permission.
