Chapter Sixty-Two: Severing Ties of Gratitude and Justice
Everyone present knew that Tan Yun was cursing Ye Tian, calling him a dog of Linghu Changkong!
“What the hell! Tan Yun is so damn arrogant!”
“What kind of arrogance is this? It's just ignorance! His duel with Senior Brother Ye is undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg, leading to his own destruction!”
“Hey? Everyone look! When Tan Yun entered the sect, he was only at the seventh level of spirit embryo realm, and now he’s reached the ninth layer realm!” A disciple exclaimed in astonishment.
This revelation stirred up a wave of reactions, and as the disciples checked Tan Yun's realm, their eyes revealed extreme disbelief!
Except for Elder Supreme, Elder Law Enforcement, and Elder Ten, the other thirteen elders were all shocked, secretly thinking about how fast Tan Yun's cultivation speed was; he was a once-in-a-millennium genius!
“Indeed, Tan Yun is a genius, but unfortunately, he is a genius on the verge of falling!”
“Exactly! After all, he is only at the ninth layer realm. No matter how defiant he is, can he really be a match for Senior Brother Ye? It’s ridiculous! If he were Senior Brother Ye's opponent, I would write my surname backwards from now on!”
“……”
Amidst the mocking voices around him, Tan Yun remained indifferent, steadily walking to the base of the Battle Rankings Platform, and cupping his fists to Shen Qingqiu, who stood on the platform.
“Hmm.” Shen Qingqiu nodded slightly to Tan Yun, “The time is approaching, let’s go to the Duel Platform.”
“Disciple obeys.” After Tan Yun spoke, Mu Mengyi gently adjusted Tan Yun’s robes amidst the envious gazes of the other disciples, softly saying, “You promised you would survive, don’t go back on your word.”
Tan Yun gave Mu Mengyi a reassuring smile, then lightly tapped the ground with his toes, leaping onto the Duel Platform like a swallow, coldly locking eyes with Ye Tian.
Shen Qingqiu looked at the two, his expression solemn as he said, “You two remember, according to sect rules, once you step onto the Duel Platform, only one can survive in the end. If anyone escapes midway, there will be no mercy!”
“In response to Elder Supreme, we understand!” Ye Tian and Tan Yun replied in unison.
Shen Qingqiu's voice boomed, “I now announce, disciples Tan Yun and Ye Tian, the life-and-death duel officially begins!”
As Shen Qingqiu finished speaking, the plaza fell silent, all eyes fixed on the two!
“Wait!” Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice rang out from the back of the crowd, filled with deep concern.
Tan Yun turned around to see a girl in a white skirt, resembling a fairy descending from the heavens, running towards him through the sea of people.
The white skirt girl appeared as if she had just recovered from a serious illness; despite being at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm, she seemed particularly strained as she ran, her pale face dotted with delicate beads of sweat.
“Sister Zhong Wu, what is she trying to do?” The disciples looked at Zhong Wu Shiyao, who was staggering towards the Duel Platform, filled with doubts.
“Senior Sister Mu, this fox spirit looks like she wants to find Junior Brother Tan!” Xue Ziyan said angrily.
Mu Mengyi did not respond but looked at Zhong Wu Shiyao with a slight frown.
After reaching the base of the platform, as her skirt fluttered and her long hair danced, the moment she leapt onto the Duel Platform, her graceful body swayed and nearly fell in front of Tan Yun.
She ignored the sweat on her forehead, gazing worriedly at Tan Yun with a weak voice, “Since the last time we parted, I’ve been healing. I just went to your pavilion to find you, but you weren’t there. Have your injuries healed?”
“Healed.” Tan Yun responded somewhat indifferently, “Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. If there’s nothing else, please step back. Ye Tian and I are about to begin.”
“Hmm.” Zhong Wu Shiyao nodded slightly, then extended her delicate hand to remove a green jade pendant that hung around her white neck, handing it to Tan Yun, “My mother said this can turn misfortune into fortune. I’m giving it to you now.”
