Chapter 83: Withered Tree Mountain Gorge
"Isn't big brother in seclusion here? Why isn't he here?" Zhong Wu Shiyao, filled with confusion, began to fly through the towering mountains on her sword, using her spiritual sense to search for Liu Rulong...
At the same time, a Spirit Vessel was darting through the Sea of Clouds.
Tan Yun, sitting cross-legged on the Spirit Vessel, suddenly opened his eyes, excitement unmistakable in his starry gaze.
After fifty-four days, he had finally touched the barrier of the fetal soul realm, and now all he needed to do was enter seclusion to break through to the fetal soul realm!
"I'll find Ziyan first. If the situation allows, I'll advance to the fetal soul realm and then save her!"
With his decision made, Tan Yun glanced at the nine individuals who had lost their ears and vital organs and coldly asked, "How far is it to Withered Tree Mountain Gorge?"
"Senior Brother Tan, it's still three thousand miles away. At the speed of the Spirit Vessel, we will arrive in another two hours," one of them said tremulously. Suddenly, he dropped to his knees in front of Tan Yun, pleading, "Senior Brother Tan, please, don't kill us!"
"Thud, thud..."
The other eight also bowed their heads and begged for mercy. Six days ago, they had humiliated Mu Mengyi with obscene words, fearing that Tan Yun would kill them!
"Senior Brother Tan, we were wrong to speak ill of Senior Sister Mu. Please, have mercy and spare us!"
"That's right! Senior Brother Tan... we truly realize our mistakes..."
"…"
As the pleas of the nine echoed in his ears, Tan Yun's smile turned chillingly cold, "Mengyi is my woman, yet you dare to think of tainting her. Do you think I will let you go?"
One of the disciples suddenly roared, "He has cultivated eye techniques! Everyone, don't look into his eyes! Run! Save yourselves while you can!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The kneeling nine immediately felt their spiritual power swirling around them and soared into the air. Just as they were about to leap off the Spirit Vessel, Tan Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, vanished in an instant. Almost simultaneously, nine figures, carrying nine sharp streaks of sword light, slashed toward the legs of the nine!
"Swish, swish!"
Blood flew from the severed legs as the nine fell onto the Spirit Vessel, letting out horrifying wails!
Realizing that Tan Yun would not spare them, the nine cried out in despair, cursing, "Tan Yun, you are ruthless! May you die a horrible death!"
"Tan Yun, I curse your entire family to perish!"
"Tan Yun, you are not human; you are a devil!"
"…"
Hearing this, Tan Yun's gaze grew colder. He spoke firmly, "Since the day I entered the Huangfu Sacred Sect, I have never sought trouble with anyone. But what has been the result? You dogs, along with your master, have constantly tried to drive me to my death!"
"And now you dare say I'm ruthless? Fine, consider it true! What does it matter if I am ruthless?"
"The heavens curse me to die, yet I still live! What do your curses amount to?"
As soon as his voice fell, Tan Yun maneuvered the Spirit Vessel down through the clouds, landing in the mountains. He quickly used his sword to carve out a cave in the mountainside. Then, with a flick of his fingers, he sealed the nine, rendering their bodies immobile and their mouths sealed!
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Tan Yun tossed the nine into the cave and coldly laughed, "If it weren't for the fact that I don’t want Murong Kun to find out about your deaths too early, I would have killed you all right now!"
In the desperate and angry gazes of the nine, Tan Yun raised a massive stone and sealed the cave entrance, leaving them to fend for themselves!
After that, Tan Yun soared into the sky on his Spirit Vessel, heading toward Withered Tree Mountain Gorge, three thousand miles away...
Two hours later, when the Spirit Vessel was still a hundred miles from Withered Tree Mountain Gorge, Tan Yun landed in the forest, stowing the Spirit Vessel away in the Qiankun Ring.
With his expertise in weapon refining, Tan Yun immediately recognized that this Spirit Vessel was merely a Supreme Spirit Weapon. Its flying speed was even slower than that of a bloodwing spirit lion at full power.
