After hearing this, Feng Yun felt quite helpless, but she no longer insisted on bringing Tan Yun over, as she knew that persisting any longer would only hurt Feng Qingcheng's heart.
"Alright, I'll do as you say." After Feng Yun spoke, she sighed inwardly, "I hope that girl Qingcheng will change her mind about killing Tan Yun in the future!"
Time passed, and eleven days later, at noon. Tomorrow would be the day Tan Yun faced off against the holy sons and daughters of each lineage in a life-and-death battle.
Tan Yun and Nangong Ruxue, who had recovered from her injuries, stood in the Meritorious Dojo, waiting for Shen Subing, Mu Mengyi, and the others to emerge from their secluded cultivation.
Moments later, dozens of scrolls floated in the air above the Meritorious Dojo, one after another opening up.
Soon, Shen Subing, Shen Suzhen, Mu Mengyi, and others flew out from the Time-Space Scrolls.
Shen Subing landed on Meritorious High Platform No. 1, while Shen Suzhen, along with the other disciples, and Tan Yun's close friends Huangfu Tingfeng, Lord Tsukkomi, and seven others stood in the dojo!
"Young Sovereign, please come to the platform." Shen Subing looked down at Tan Yun with a respectful expression.
"Mm." Tan Yun nodded and soared onto the high platform, appearing beside Shen Subing.
As Tan Yun looked down at the crowd, he immediately noticed that Shen Subing had advanced to the first level of the divine pulse realm!
Shen Suzhen had reached the third level of the divine pulse realm!
Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shi Yao, Huangfu Yu, and Tan Yun were all at the sixth level of the soul pulse realm; Xue Ziyan was at the fifth level of the soul pulse realm.
Now, nine years had passed, and the disciples of the Holy Gate's Meritorious Lineage had increased from over five thousand to six thousand three hundred.
Among these disciples, Tuoba Yingying remained the highest in rank, being at the eighth level of the soul pulse realm!
Among the remaining disciples, only the leading disciples in each row: Luo Fan, Yang Chong, Liu Yiyi, Fang Qinghan, Gao Bu Jiao, and He Wang Yan, had advanced to the first level of the soul pulse realm!
The remaining disciples, numbering over five thousand, were in the sacred soul realm; over a thousand were in the divine soul realm.
And among Tan Yun's close friends, Huangfu Tingfeng, Ke Xinyi, Baili Longtian, Xiao Qingxuan, Jun Bu Ping, Shang Guan Bing Bing, Lord Tsukkomi, Lu Ren, Tian Xiang, and Zhu Ruolin, the nine of them were at the great perfection of the sacred soul realm, at the second level of the soul pulse realm!
At this moment, Tan Yun looked down at Huangfu Tingfeng and the others, feeling somewhat empty inside because one familiar figure was missing: Gongsun Ruoxi!
"Young Sovereign, please preside over the next part." Shen Subing turned to Tan Yun, slightly bowing.
"Alright." Tan Yun gazed at the increasingly charming Shen Subing, a hint of affection flickering in his starry eyes.
"Hmph!" Below on the first high platform, Shen Suzhen looked at Tan Yun with a cold snort in her heart.
"Greetings, senior brother!" At that moment, a simple-minded male disciple shouted from the crowd.
Immediately, a chorus of reprimands erupted, hitting him head-on:
"Senior brother, you big-headed ghost! You new fool, you should call him Young Sovereign, do you understand?"
"Yeah, you idiot, do you believe we’ll beat you up!"
"Hurry and correct yourself!"
"Change your words quickly..."
...
The disciples all shouted at the male disciple, who was at the third level of the divine soul realm, causing him to turn pale with fear. He knew he had obviously incurred the wrath of many!
"Everyone, quiet down." Tan Yun slightly raised his hand, signaling for silence, then continued, "There’s no need to scold him; he didn’t say anything wrong."
"Though I am the Young Sovereign, I am also your senior brother, forever your senior brother!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples erupted in excitement!
After calming the crowd, Tan Yun turned to Shen Subing and said, "Shen Chief, I would like to appoint some positions for the disciples of the Holy Gate's Meritorious Lineage, is that alright?"
