Tan Yun endured the pain in his heart, his face pale, and cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
"Fine, I'll do as you say."
"Half a month later, the elders and disciples of the Immortal Sect Danmai will hold the alchemical arts grand competition. At that time, you can go with the other disciples of the Holy Spirit Lineage to watch and see how Tan Yun looks."
Upon hearing this, Dantai Xian'er couldn't bear to refuse, and tears fell as she nodded, "Daughter will listen to you, dad, but I have one request that you must promise."
"You say it," Dantai Xuanzhong said.
"Dad, at that time, I want to approach him as a man to see what kind of person he is." Dantai Xian'er wept.
"Alright, that's no problem." After Dantai Xuanzhong finished speaking, he reminded Dantai Xian'er to remember to leave for the Danmai Secret Realm half a month later.
"Whoosh!"
Dantai Xuanzhong soared from the Immortal Valley, and in the moment he appeared in the Sea of Clouds, his pale face had already returned to normal, clearly a mere act of self-infliction.
Dantai Xuanzhong looked hopeful and muttered to himself, "The hearts of parents in the world are truly pitiful..."
At the same time, in the Danmai Secret Realm, inside a magnificent palace, Elder Four, Lu Yi, had a grim expression as he conversed with the Hall of Discipline's steward, Han Yong.
"Bang!"
Lu Yi smashed the armrest of the jade chair with a palm, his fury burning, "That Tan Yun has completely humiliated me, he must not be allowed to live!"
"Senior brother, please calm down." Han Yong said coldly, "Eliminating one Tan Yun is not difficult at all. Senior brother, just leave this matter to me."
"However, after all, Tan Yun is favored by the sovereign, so it's not appropriate to act against him now. Otherwise, others will easily suspect you. Rest assured, after the alchemical arts grand competition ends, I will find a legitimate reason to publicly execute him!"
"Good, that sounds excellent!" After Lu Yi agreed, his white brows twitched, "By the way, has the reason for my disciple Pang Tong and the thirty-eight disciples committing suicide above the Temporal and Spatial Dao Field been investigated?"
Han Yong shook his head and nodded again, "Senior brother, before their death, they all shouted that Mu Mengyi is Tan Yun's woman, so I suspect their deaths are related to Tan Yun."
"I will deal with him when the time comes!"
...
As night fell, the news that Tan Yun had single-handedly killed eighty-nine people had spread like wildfire throughout the Immortal Sect Danmai.
Among the more than 200,000 disciples, those below the ninth level of the refining soul realm spoke of Tan Yun with awe, while the elite among the ninth layer realm looked down upon him, believing they could easily defeat Tan Yun if they faced him.
As for the more than 20,000 grand perfection disciples of the refining soul realm, they only smiled at the praises from those below the ninth level...
Time flew, and on the evening of the fourteenth day, the following day would be the day of the alchemical arts grand competition.
In the Meritorious Immortal Valley Region, Immortal Valley No. 8.
In the picturesque valley, the now-recovered Tan Yun was supporting Xue Ziyan with his left hand while holding Mu Mengyi with his right, helping the two women take a walk.
Both women had pale faces, their injuries not yet healed, and they wanted Tan Yun to assist them in moving a bit to stretch their muscles.
Three days ago, after the two women woke up, they learned from Tan Yun that he had avenged Song Hong and the 135 deceased fellow disciples.
Tan Yun had asked the two women why they had acted so impulsively and participated in the riot. Their answers had enraged him!
Because Song Hong was their friend, upon hearing he had been killed, the two women rushed to the Meritorious Medicine Garden without a second thought. As soon as they questioned the murderer, Hou Ye, he attacked them!
"If you're tired, take a break," Tan Yun said, helping the two women sit down on the lush grass, and began to chat with them.
