Chapter 61: Everyone's Attention
As Murong Kun was filled with rage, Linghu Changkong was in a similar state in his room.
“Senior Brother Linghu, it seems Tan Yun is quite lucky this time. If my subordinates had entered the Snowy Domain Fierce Valley back then, I would have surely taken his life!” Lin Yi said respectfully as he faced Linghu Changkong.
Twenty-nine days ago, Lin Yi had led a pursuit after Tan Yun, but at that time, he had entered another small secret realm and did not head to the Snowy Domain Fierce Valley.
Linghu Changkong’s face turned a shade of iron blue as he said, “Lin Yi, I have some bad news for you. Today I learned that after Tan Yun returned, I personally went to the Lamp Soul Palace and found that all 83 of Chen Renqing’s life lamps had been extinguished. It seems that Tan Yun is the one who killed them.”
“What? Junior Brother Chen was a powerful figure ranked 108th on the Hidden Dragon Rankings! He was actually killed by Tan Yun!” Lin Yi exclaimed in disbelief. “If they were truly killed by Tan Yun, then his strength to challenge beyond his rank is terrifying!”
“Exactly! We must eliminate Tan Yun as soon as possible. If he continues to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable!” Linghu Changkong said with a furrowed brow. “Tomorrow is the day of the duel between Ye Tian and Tan Yun. Although Ye Tian is ranked 98th on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, I still worry that he may not be a match for Tan Yun.”
Before Linghu Changkong could finish speaking, an excited male voice came from outside, “Junior Brother Ye Tian has good news for Senior Brother Linghu! Tomorrow, Tan Yun will undoubtedly die!”
“Ye Tian, come in quickly.” After inviting Ye Tian into the room, Linghu Changkong asked, “What’s the good news? Why do you say Tan Yun will definitely die tomorrow?”
Ye Tian smiled with great confidence, “Senior Brother Linghu, after my 29 days of seclusion, I have finally cultivated the Dragon Martial Overlord Body from the ninth layer to the twelfth layer!”
“Is this true?” Linghu Changkong became somewhat excited.
“Absolutely!” Ye Tian bowed and said, “How could I deceive Senior Brother Linghu? Even if Tan Yun has advanced to the ninth layer realm, I can still crush him like an ant!”
“Hahaha, that’s great!” Linghu Changkong was overjoyed. “Not only will Tan Yun die tomorrow, but I can also win 80 million low-grade spirit stones from Murong Kun!”
“Congratulations, Junior Brother Ye.” Lin Yi cupped his fists in congratulations. “With your current strength, you can already enter the top forty of the Hidden Dragon Rankings. Killing Tan Yun will be easy, and I congratulate you in advance for achieving great merit for Senior Brother Linghu!”
……
Tonight was a sleepless night for those ranked within the top three thousand on the Hidden Dragon Rankings.
Because tomorrow, before the trial qualification competition begins, the elder of the outer sect will announce the rewards for the disciples participating in the Fallen God Canyon trial...
The next day, as the sun rose, at the end of the hour of the rabbit, the hour of the dragon was approaching.
In the square in front of the Hidden Dragon Rankings, people gathered in crowds.
In front of the Battle Rankings Platform on the left side of the Hidden Dragon Rankings, 3118 young men and women ranked within the top three thousand in the Hidden Dragon Rankings stood in neat rows.
Linghu Changkong sighed as he looked at Murong Kun, “Murong Younger Brother, you’ve let me down a bit! I had already prepared 80 million low-grade spirit stones, just waiting for you to kill Tan Yun and hand them over to you.”
“Alas, but who would have thought that all the people you sent would die while Tan Yun is still alive.”
Upon hearing this, Murong Kun smiled with a hint of mockery, “Linghu Changkong, I also visited the Lamp Soul Palace yesterday. Didn’t all the people you sent to the Snowy Domain Fierce Valley also die? Today is the last day of our bet. If you have the ability, kill Tan Yun today. If you don’t, why boast before me?”
