Soaring down, hovering above the Life and Death Platform, the person was none other than the Inner Sect Law Enforcement Elder: Lu Hang!
Lu Hang looked at Tan Yun with a pleading gaze, “Tan Yun! I hope you can spare my disciple for my sake!”
His voice was filled with desperation as he continued, “He's just a young man, still learning. If you could show mercy, I would be forever grateful.”
Tan Yun's expression remained unchanged, but his heart felt a twinge of sympathy. He understood Lu Hang’s position as a mentor, and the weight of responsibility he carried for his disciple's actions.
“Elder Lu, it’s not that I don’t want to help. But the rules of the Immortal Sect cannot be ignored,” Tan Yun replied, his tone steady.
Lu Hang’s face turned pale at Tan Yun’s words, realizing that the situation was more serious than he had thought.
“Please, Tan Yun. You have to understand, he made a mistake, but he still has potential! A moment of folly shouldn’t define his future.”
Tan Yun remained silent, weighing his options.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation. It was Shen Qingqiu, who had been observing from the side. “Tan Yun, perhaps there is a way to resolve this without breaking the rules.”
Everyone turned to look at Shen Qingqiu, intrigued by his suggestion.
“What do you mean?” Tan Yun asked, curious.
Shen Qingqiu explained, “We could arrange a trial for the disciple. If he can prove himself worthy, then we can consider leniency.”
Lu Hang’s eyes brightened at this proposal. “Yes! That’s a great idea! A trial would be fair! Please agree, Tan Yun!”
Tan Yun contemplated the proposal, knowing that it would be a good compromise.
“Very well. We shall hold a trial,” he finally agreed, a hint of a smile forming on his lips.
The atmosphere shifted as hope filled the air, and Lu Hang bowed deeply in gratitude, “Thank you, Tan Yun! You have saved my disciple!”
As they prepared for the trial, Tan Yun couldn’t shake the feeling that this decision would have consequences, but for now, he chose to believe in the potential of the young man.
Tan Yun stepped on Xiao Yuan's chest, looking up at Lu Hang, and smiled slightly, “Elder Law Enforcement, as long as I can ask your disciple some questions, I might consider sparing him for your sake.”
“Good, good, good! Tan young friend, you are indeed magnanimous. Feel free to ask your questions.” Lu Hang looked down at Tan Yun with gratitude, “Once you finish asking, I can help my disciple heal!”
“Elder Law Enforcement, don’t rush. I will ask right away.” Tan Yun smiled, but as he lowered his head, a murderous intent surged in his eyes!
“Tan Yun, please don’t kill me… I will answer any questions you have…” Xiao Yuan trembled under Tan Yun’s foot, his voice shaking in pain.
Tan Yun curled his lips into a mocking smile, “Speak, what did you and a group of law enforcement disciples do late at night over a month ago, dressed in black?”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Hang, standing in mid-air, shivered slightly, a flash of panic and killing intent flickering in his murky eyes!
At this moment, over ten thousand disciples from various branches below looked at the remains of the twenty-five people on stage, each of them afraid to breathe!
They looked at Tan Yun, who resembled a god of slaughter, feeling a chill in their hearts, as a coldness rose from their feet all the way to their hearts.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would hardly believe that twenty-six powerful beings in the refining soul realm had been slaughtered in just a few breaths, leaving only Xiao Yuan alive!
Simultaneously, amidst the horror, the disciples sensed hidden truths in Tan Yun’s questioning of Xiao Yuan!
“Tan, Tan Yun… I don’t know what you’re talking about!” A trace of panic flashed in Xiao Yuan’s eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. However, his heart was racing, pounding in his throat!
“Don’t know? Is that so?” Tan Yun’s starry eyes glinted coldly, “It seems I need to help you clear your mind and jog your memory.”
