The rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the rising sun illuminated the sky.
Tan Yun led thirty masked law enforcement disciples as they descended before the Mountain Gate of the Huangfu Sacred Sect.
Not far away, in a pavilion, the outer sect steward Dai Qingshan hurriedly walked out upon seeing Tan Yun, bowing and saying, “Dai Qingshan greets Tan Holy Son.”
He never expected that the once obscure young man would, in just over twenty years, not only become the senior brother of the Holy Gate Meritorious Lineage but also the Holy Son of the Huangfu Sacred Sect!
“There is no need for such formalities, Dai Steward,” Tan Yun said with a slight smile. “Please open the Secret Realm Gate; I need to return to the sect.”
“Of course.” After speaking, Dai Qingshan glanced at the thirty masked figures behind Tan Yun, momentarily hesitating.
It seemed Tan Yun could see through his thoughts, so he reassured, “Dai Steward, do not worry; these are people from our sect who tried to kill me. I am bringing them back to deal with them. Just open the Secret Realm Gate.”
After a brief hesitation, Dai Qingshan took out a token and opened the Secret Realm Gate hidden in the void, bowing as he watched Tan Yun lead the thirty figures into the gate!
Entering the Huangfu Secret Realm, Tan Yun brought everyone straight toward the Holy Gate Fang City...
Four hours later, at the beginning of the Shen hour, as the sun leaned towards the west, they landed outside the Holy Gate Fang City.
“Tan, Tan Yun... Why are you bringing these masked individuals to the Fang City?”
“Just... just...”
The two law enforcement disciples at the city gate, both in the ninth layer of the divine soul realm, trembled as they blocked Tan Yun’s path, their bodies shaking as they questioned, “We can’t see your cultivation level after four years; how can we let you through?”
“Does this holy son need to explain himself to you?” Tan Yun frowned, his voice low. “Get out of my way!”
“Bang! Bang!”
In a flash, with a crisp sound, the two disciples were knocked away by Tan Yun, their decayed teeth mixed with blood spraying from their mouths!
“Bang! Bang!”
The two disciples, like cannonballs, crashed into the city gate and fell to the ground, immediately appearing unconscious.
Tan Yun turned back, ignoring the thirty masked individuals, and decisively said, “Lead the way to Yuwen Zhi’s palace!”
“Understood!” The thirty figures flew into the Fang City, heading towards the “Hall of Aspirations” five hundred miles away.
Tan Yun followed closely behind...
After entering the city, the two law enforcement disciples, swollen like pigs, finally got up from the ground, their expressions filled with fear as they stared at Tan Yun’s retreating figure...
The scene of the thirty masked individuals flying alongside Tan Yun attracted the attention of the disciples from various lineages on the ancient streets.
People began to murmur in confusion:
“What’s going on? Under broad daylight, what does Tan Yun want with these thirty masked figures?”
“Yeah! But Tan Yun has a killing intent in his eyes, looking like he wants to kill someone!”
“Isn’t that right... Hey! Did you notice? With my ninth layer of the divine soul realm, I can’t even see through Tan Yun’s cultivation level!”
“What’s going on? I’m great perfection in the divine soul realm, and I can’t see Tan Yun’s cultivation either! Could it be he has now ascended to the sacred soul realm?”
“That’s impossible! Over four years ago, he was only in the fourth layer of the divine soul realm; how could he have possibly ascended to the sacred soul realm?”
“What impossible? Four years ago, Tan Yun won over three hundred billion supreme spirit stones, and I say he must have used those supreme spirit stones to unlock a time-space magic treasure to advance to the sacred soul realm!”
“Everyone, don’t be surprised! If I had several billion supreme spirit stones, I could also reach the sacred soul realm in just over four years!”
