In the following half month, Tan Yun stood with his hands behind his back, vigilantly guarding the canyon.
During this time, a total of two thousand people from the Meritorious Lineage, Talismans Lineage, Ancient Soul Lineage, Beast Spirit Lineage, and Wind Thunder Lineage gathered.
Among them, Baili Longtian, Xiao Qingxuan, Zhong Wu Shi Yao, Ke Xinyi, Xue Ziyan, Nangong Ruxue, Jun Bu Ping, Huangfu Tingfeng, and Shangguan Bingbing had already arrived.
At the same time, over the past half month, Tan Yun discovered that a total of 328 identity tokens had burst from his Qiankun Ring, indicating that 328 lives had been lost unnaturally!
Zhong Wu Shi Yao looked at Tan Yun's anxious face and gently comforted him, āTan Yun, I believe Sister Mu will return safely.ā
āBrother-in-law, I believe too!ā Xue Ziyan chimed in, āThe trial area spans thirty million miles, and with Sister Muās Supreme Treasure Artifact Spirit Vessel, she can travel five hundred thousand miles a day. If she was teleported to a faraway place, itās normal for her not to arrive yet.ā
Though Xue Ziyan was trying to comfort Tan Yun, her eyes betrayed her inner turmoil!
At this moment, Huangfu Tingfeng, Ke Xinyi, and others also came forward to console Tan Yunā¦
Time flew by like an arrow, and another month passed.
Now, fifty-six days had elapsed since the trial began.
Within this month, the total number of disciples who had gathered, including Tan Yun, reached 3,215, while the identity tokens that had burst from Tan Yun's Qiankun Ring reached 584, leaving only one person yet to arrive.
It was Mu Mengyi!
Tan Yun's heart was in disarray; Mu Mengyi had not arrived for such a long time, which surely meant she had encountered trouble!
Others were also filled with worry.
āNot good!ā Suddenly, Tan Yun, who had been covering a radius of seven thousand five hundred miles with his spiritual sense, let out a terrified scream, āOld Ape! In the deep forest seven thousand miles to the northwest, Mengyi is in danger! Take me to save her quickly!ā
Before Tan Yunās roar had faded, a purple-black beam of light shot out from the Spirit Beast Bag hanging at his waist. Then, to the astonished gazes of the disciples, a towering purple-black furry figure appeared a hundred feet away!
Next, in the sight of the disciples, after Tan Yun leaped onto the shoulder of the massive creature, it sprang into the air and disappeared thirty thousand feet away in an instant!
Only Tan Yun's voice echoed in everyone's ears, āNo one follows, stay on standby!ā
āBang bang bangā¦ā
The heavenly slayer demon ape, with Tan Yun on its back, charged into the Primal Ancient Forest like an indestructible weapon, demolishing thousand-foot-tall ancient trees as it sped deep into the forest!
Moments later, the heavenly slayer demon ape had already sprinted six thousand milesā¦
At this moment, deep in the Primal Ancient Forest, Mu Mengyi, pale-faced, was holding her sword to the ground, her hair disheveled, and her body covered in over a dozen sword wounds, blood flowing profusely!
Her red dress was soaked in blood, and a claw mark nearly covered her entire back, causing her skin to rupture and revealing her ghastly white bones!
She was surrounded by nine male disciples from the divine soul celestial palace, who looked at Mu Mengyi with mockery, laughing lewdly:
āHeaven helps us, hahahaha! Little girl, I didnāt expect you to be heavily injured by a demon beast, and then run into us. Isnāt this just fate?ā
āLittle Mengyi, hehehe, once you get to our palace's Ascension Platform, when you participate in the qualification battle for the Battlefield of the Gods trial, my buddies and I will definitely have our fun with you. Now the opportunity has come!ā
āLittle Yi Yi, our dual cultivation technique from the divine soul celestial palace is unforgettable. Hehehe, today we will catch you, and donāt worry, we wonāt bully you.ā
āOnce we imprison you and let your injuries recover a bit, we nine will ensure your desires turn to death, or to immortality, letting you taste our power!ā
