“Receive!”
In Tan Yun's mind, five primordial chaos divine swords transformed into five streams of light and entered his brow. Then, under his control, the Divine Axe and Divine Hammer suddenly shrank to palm size, whistling as they were swept into the Qiankun Ring.
As these actions were executed seamlessly by Tan Yun, aside from Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shi Yao, who stood on their Flying Swords, floating beside him with tears of joy, the others were oblivious to what had just happened. They felt an extreme sense of weightlessness and screamed as they fell downward!
“Alright, everyone, you can open your eyes and summon your Flying Swords now!”
As the crowd fell like meteors, upon hearing Tan Yun's voice, they opened their eyes and, realizing they were in the vast sky, hurriedly summoned their Flying Swords, standing suspended in mid-air!
After a brief moment of confusion, the crowd erupted with uncontrollable excitement, joy, exhilaration, and cries!
These voices united, shaking the heavens and the earth:
“We're not dead… Hahaha, we're not dead!”
“This is wonderful! We actually didn’t die!”
“Yeah… I’m so excited! I thought I was doomed, but now I’m alive and well!”
“Wuwu… I’m still alive… I thought I would never see my family again…”
“Me too… Wuwu… I thought I would never be able to take care of my parents in their old age…”
After coming back from the brink of death, the crowd, after a brief moment of excitement, was filled with confusion.
Just a moment ago, they were squatting on the wasteland; why had they suddenly found themselves in the vast sky?
“Brother-in-law, we’re not dead, hehe!” Xue Ziyan, with tears in her eyes, flew up on her sword to Tan Yun's side.
Then the others also soared into the air on their swords, looking at Tan Yun with confused gazes.
“Tan Brother, what just happened?” Huangfu Yu asked, still shaken. “Did you use some means to teleport us from the wasteland to the sky, avoiding a disaster?”
“Yes, Senior Brother Tan!” the crowd echoed, looking at Tan Yun with admiration and gratitude.
“You guys think too highly of me,” Tan Yun chuckled. “It’s not that we arrived in the sky, but rather the wasteland below vanished in the destruction of the Blood Sacrifice Divine Cauldron.”
Upon hearing this, except for Zhong Wu Shi Yao and Mu Mengyi, everyone else turned to stone in an instant, beads of sweat popping up on their foreheads, their hearts racing!
They couldn’t imagine how powerful the destructive storm must have been to obliterate the wasteland!
At the same time, what baffled everyone even more was how Tan Yun had helped them survive such apocalyptic force?
Tan Yun saw the puzzled expressions on their faces and, with a lingering fear, said, “Once, my master left me a defensive magic treasure, so I summoned it just now.”
“I thought it would lead to the destruction of the treasure and death, but heaven favored us, and since we were at the edge of a thirty thousand mile area of destruction where the destructive power was weaker, we managed to escape a calamity.”
Tan Yun continued calmly, “You all know the principle of ‘having a jade in hand brings misfortune.’ I asked you all to close your eyes just to prevent you from seeing the appearance of the magic treasure, to avoid any unnecessary troubles in the future. I hope you understand!”
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their understanding!
Huangfu Tingfeng, standing on his Flying Sword, deeply bowed to Tan Yun and declared, “Brother Tan, you have saved me and Xinyi multiple times. In the future, if you need anything, just command me; I will not hesitate to go through fire and water for you!”
“In my heart, no matter how fierce the battle of the Ten Veins may be, I will always stand by your side!”
Following this, over three thousand disciples stood on their Flying Swords, bowing to Tan Yun and shouting in unison:
“Thank you for saving our lives! In the future, whatever you command, we will go through fire and water for you!”
