"Senior brother Tan, ever since the sovereign sculpted your statue, I have been in awe of your numerous achievements. I've always admired you, please accept me!"
A female disciple from the Holy Spirit Lineage, standing before Tan Yun with a flushed face, climbed onto Crouching Dragon Platform No. 1 under the intense gaze of the holy spirit chief.
"Senior brother Tan, I like you, I admire you. You're right, leaving the current lineage isn't betrayal; as long as I don't leave the Huangfu Sacred Sect, it can't be considered treason!"
"Hehe... and me too!"
"..."
At this moment, disciples from the Holy Spirit, Five Spirits, Wind and Thunder, Ancient Soul, Beast Spirit, and other nine meridians transformed into fleeting shadows, rushing towards the three Crouching Dragon Platforms!
In the blink of an eye, over five thousand disciples had joined the assessment team, bringing the total on the three Crouching Dragon Platforms to nearly eight thousand!
What was astonishing was that more than half of them were female disciples!
Most of these female disciples were infatuated with Tan Yun, but undeniably, among them were some who were stunningly beautiful and captivating!
"Senior brother Tan is right! We are loyal not to any particular lineage but to the Huangfu Sacred Sect! I want to follow my heart, leave the Ancient Soul lineage, and join the Meritorious Lineage!"
An extraordinary male disciple gracefully soared onto Crouching Dragon Platform No. 1.
At this moment, there were still disciples hesitating, but even in their anxiety, they eventually rushed to the Crouching Dragon Platforms!
In the next few moments, one by one, disciples with determined gazes, looked at Tan Yun with admiration and chose to participate in the assessment!
Shen Subing knew very well that nine out of ten of these disciples chose to participate due to Tan Yun's personal charm!
She looked at Tan Yun, somewhat dazed, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart, "If only he didn't have two fiancées..."
As Shen Subing contemplated, the inner sect's nine great chiefs and elders, except for Shen Wende, were furious to the point of exploding!
This group of disciples had gone completely crazy!
Just yesterday, they had commanded them not to participate in the selection, yet they blatantly disobeyed!
Indeed!
The disciples who continued to ascend the Crouching Dragon Platforms were not only admiring Tan Yun and agreeing with the three points he made earlier, but another reason compelled them to decide to join the selection!
The reason was that Tan Yun had just publicly killed the Eighth Elder of Danmai and the Chief Elder of Danmai!
The cause of killing the two great elders was simply that Tan Yun wanted to protect a disciple who wished to leave the Danmai!
The scene of Tan Yun killing remained vivid in the minds of the disciples!
They believed that since Tan Yun could ruthlessly take action against two inner sect elders for the sake of a disciple who had yet to join the Meritorious Lineage, this was enough to prove that Tan Yun was protective!
The Meritorious Lineage was extremely protective!
Of course, the disciples were not foolish; they knew that Tan Yun had the sovereign backing him!
Otherwise, how could a disciple like Tan Yun propose establishing the Tenth Meridian, and the sovereign agree?
The disciples even speculated that the sovereign wanted to create the Meritorious Lineage and simply ordered Tan Yun to propose it publicly at the Immortal Sect Danmai!
With these thoughts, the disciples at the summit felt a rush, scrambling towards the three Crouching Dragon Platforms!
At this moment, amidst the vast Sea of Clouds, Dantai Xuanzhong looked down at Tan Yun, nodding to himself, "What a sharp tongue!"
"Tan Yun managed to capture a part of the disciples' hearts with just one palm, using a show of strength, making them willing to leave their own lineage!"
Dantai Xuanzhong was increasingly satisfied with Tan Yun. He had initially thought that Tan Yun would showcase some magic treasures or highlight the advantages of the Meritorious Lineage, discussing cultivation resources to attract thousands of disciples!
