Tan Yun's words fell like a heavy bomb into the crowd, causing an uproar!
Most people believe that Tan Yun's strength is exceptional, while only a few think that he is overly arrogant.
It should be noted that in the previous Immortal Sect's nine meridians grand competition, the Ancient Soul Lineage consistently ranked in the top four among the nine meridians!
"Silence!" Dantai Xuanzhong gestured for everyone to quiet down and looked at Tan Yun with approval.
At that moment, almost everyone's gaze was fixed on the nine disciples on the Third Sacred Soul High Platform.
The nine of them hesitated. They were not fools; from the sight of Huangfu Yu, Mu Mengyi, Luo Fan, and the nine, with Tan Yun leading them, they could perceive two messages.
Firstly, Tan Yun is the strongest!
Secondly, Tan Yun may not be the strongest in terms of power, but his strategic leadership can command all nine of them.
They were at a standstill. They heard that it was possible for them to fight together; in this situation, if they retreated without a fight, it would be quite shameful!
But if they fought, they feared that the nine of them would not be a match for Tan Yun and would lose their lives!
With life and honor at stake, the nine had to be cautious. They couldn't help but direct their gaze towards the Ancient Soul Daoist, who had already awakened in the pavilion.
The Ancient Soul Daoist frowned and finally took a deep breath, looking down at Tan Yun, and spoke in a relaxed tone, "Tan Yun, as you said, the Ancient Soul Lineage has no grievances with you or the Meritorious Lineage."
"The death of Kong Cheng just now was due to his lack of skill; it can't be blamed on anyone else."
"How about this: the nine disciples of the Ancient Soul Lineage will engage with you purely for the sake of sparring. I hope you will show mercy, so they can understand that there are always others stronger than them, alright?"
Hearing this, Tan Yun didn't dwell on the Ancient Soul Daoist's true intentions, but at least he showed no malice on the surface.
"Since the elder has spoken, I will comply," Tan Yun cupped his fists towards the Ancient Soul Daoist.
"Good, very good." The Ancient Soul Daoist responded and looked towards the nine disciples on the Third Sacred Soul High Platform, saying, "Tian Xiang, go seek guidance from Tan Yun."
Tian Xiang is the second-ranked powerhouse among the hundreds of thousands in the refining soul realm and is also the direct disciple of the Ancient Soul Daoist! She is also known as the most beautiful woman of the Ancient Soul Lineage!
"Yes, Master!" Tian Xiang respectfully accepted the order, her graceful figure flashing down from the Third Sacred Soul High Platform, standing a hundred feet away from Tan Yun on the Second Sacred Soul High Platform.
"Tan Yun, please give me some pointers!" As soon as Tian Xiang spoke, an expression of disbelief appeared on her stunning face. Her beautiful eyes widened as she saw Tan Yun vanish before her eyes.
In the next moment, she felt a chill run down her spine, sensing a gust of wind sweep past her back, and then, Tan Yun appeared in front of her.
"Is this enough?" Tan Yun looked down at the greenish-blue hairpin in his right hand and pointed at it.
Tian Xiang's delicate body trembled violently because she knew that just now, Tan Yun had appeared behind her and taken the hairpin from her head before reappearing in front of her!
At this moment, she realized that Tan Yun could easily kill her with his speed alone!
Among the two million disciples, only a handful had captured Tan Yun's movement.
The other disciples looked confused, not understanding why Tian Xiang was trembling as she looked at the hairpin in Tan Yun's hand.
Some imaginative disciples speculated whether the hairpin held some significance for Tian Xiang, causing her to lose her composure upon seeing it.
"Tan Yun, I lost, completely. Thank you for showing mercy." Tian Xiang, a proud daughter of heaven, shed tears in the face of such a blow.
No one understood why she was crying!
