Ru Yan Chen's face was pale as she said, “Tuoba Meng, all the disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect are dead!
Even the golden flame Qilin is dead!”
“What?” Tuoba Meng raised her brows, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
It was indeed surprise, not fear! She was the reincarnation of a great power.
In contrast, the disciples of the divine soul celestial palace behind Tuoba Meng all had pale faces, their eyes revealing deep-seated fear, as they trembled and inquired, “Ru Yan Young Master… what did you say? The Qilin senior of our palace is dead… dead?”
“Yes! Ru Yan Young Master, what on earth happened? The Qilin senior is a king among fifth level mature stage spirit beasts! How could it possibly die?”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Meng waved her hand and said to everyone, “Everyone, please calm down and let my young master speak first.”
“Yes, Senior Sister Tuoba!” The crowd responded and quietly inhaled, looking towards Ru Yan Chen.
“Young Master, don’t worry, take your time,” Tuoba Meng said, looking at Ru Yan Chen’s trembling legs with a comforting demeanor.
“Mm.” Ru Yan Chen took a deep breath, striving to calm her emotions as she said: “Everyone, this young master led the disciples of our sect and the Qilin senior into the depths of the Fallen God Forest, where we engaged in a decisive battle with Tan Yun and the disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect!”
“But that damned Tan Yun actually has a Spirit Ape at the fourth stage tribulation stage, which killed the Qilin senior! In the end, I was the only one who managed to escape; all our sect’s disciples were annihilated!”
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the divine soul celestial palace were filled with terror. “Senior Sister Tuoba, what should we do? The spirit beast that our palace master has assigned to you is only at the fourth stage tribulation stage! It’s definitely no match for Tan Yun’s Spirit Ape!”
“Exactly! Senior Sister Tuoba…”
At this moment, not only the disciples of the divine soul celestial palace regarded Tuoba Meng as the mainstay, but Ru Yan Chen did as well.
“Let me think.” Tuoba Meng closed her beautiful eyes, falling into a long silence.
Her dark brows occasionally furrowed and then relaxed, her head shaking and nodding intermittently. Finally, she sighed deeply, opened her eyes, and looked at Ru Yan Chen, “Young Master, we must immediately evacuate this place and return to the divine soul celestial palace once the time-space tunnel opens.”
Ru Yan Chen gritted her teeth and said, “Tuoba Meng, are we just going to retreat without a fight?”
“Young Master, we are not retreating without a fight.” Tuoba Meng’s eyes sparkled with brilliance, “To be precise, we are retreating to attack, eliminating Tan Yun, the real culprit, without shedding blood!”
“Retreating to attack?” Ru Yan Chen frowned, “What do you mean?”
Tuoba Meng spoke confidently, “Young Master, if I were Tan Yun, I would definitely guess that the spirit beast we have here is not as strong as the golden flame Qilin.”
“Why?” After Ru Yan Chen spoke, a glimmer of understanding appeared in her eyes, “This young master understands now. Tan Yun must have thought that since I hold the highest status, I brought the golden flame Qilin with me, while you, as a disciple, naturally have a spirit beast that is not as powerful as mine.”
“Exactly.” Tuoba Meng’s lips curved into a charming cold smile, “Tan Yun is so clever; he would certainly guess that we split into two teams to head to two time-space immortal mountains. After we return to the divine soul celestial palace, he will take his Spirit Ape to participate in the trial, and then he will be executed!”
“So, the one thing Tan Yun wants the most is to eliminate us completely and shut us up!”
Upon hearing this, Ru Yan Chen looked at Tuoba Meng with admiration, laughing heartily and applauding, “Tuoba Meng, you’re spot on! Excellent!”
Tuoba Meng coldly smiled again, “Once we return to the divine soul celestial palace, we will turn the tables and accuse Tan Yun of having his Spirit Ape join the trial and execute him! At that time, even if Dantai Xuanzhong wants to save Tan Yun, it will be impossible, after all, the divine soul celestial palace is not his Huangfu Sacred Sect’s territory!”
