“Hmm!” After Tan Yun nodded, he seemed to think of something and became hesitant to speak.
Suddenly, the atmosphere around him became tense, as if a storm was brewing. The expressions on the faces of those present grew serious, and a sense of impending conflict filled the air.
“Is there something you want to say?” asked a voice, breaking the silence. It belonged to Xue Ziyan, who looked at Tan Yun with keen interest.
Tan Yun hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, “The current situation requires us to be cautious. We cannot let our guard down. There are too many dangers lurking around.”
The others nodded in agreement, understanding the weight of Tan Yun's words. They were all aware that the challenges they faced were formidable, and any misstep could lead to dire consequences.
“Do you have a plan?” asked Zhong Wu Shi Yao, her gaze steady and unwavering.
Tan Yun took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. “We need to strengthen our defenses and prepare for any possible attacks. We can't underestimate the enemy's capabilities.”
The group exchanged glances, sensing the gravity of the situation. They knew that their adversaries were not to be taken lightly, and they needed to be prepared for anything.
“Agreed,” said Mu Mengyi, her voice firm. “We should also gather more intelligence about their movements. Knowledge is power, and we cannot afford to be caught off guard.”
As they discussed their strategies, the tension in the room began to dissipate, replaced by a shared resolve. Each member of the group understood the importance of their roles and the necessity of working together to overcome the challenges ahead.
“Let’s get to work then,” Tan Yun said, a determined light in his eyes. “We have a lot to do, and time is of the essence.”
With that, the group sprang into action, each one focused on their tasks. The air was charged with purpose, and they were ready to face whatever challenges awaited them.
“Han Gu, I will have to trouble you for ten years,” Tan Yun said. “Your injuries are still not severe enough, and I worry that other ancestors might become suspicious.”
Tan Yun spoke with determination, “You will self-destruct one of your arms. When I return in ten years, I will use life essence to restore you.”
“Understood!” Han Gu replied. With a loud “bang,” his entire left arm turned into a cloud of blood mist. He then stored the Divine Sword in the Qiankun Ring and flew out of the cave dwelling, holding the corpse in his right arm at high speed...
...
The next morning. After the Four Grand Ancestors of Law Enforcement, despite being heavily injured and destroying an arm, killed Guan Xuanqi and Tan Yun, they returned to the sect with the explosive news of Tan Yun's headless corpse and the Divine Sword, which spread like wings throughout the Huangfu Sacred Sect!
Over seven million disciples from the Outer Sect, Inner Sect, Immortal Sect, and Holy Gate cheered and expressed their excitement on the surface.
But most disciples felt a quiet sadness in their hearts. Because, deep down, they never believed that Tan Yun would kill the old sovereign!
Yet they did not dare to express their feelings because that would be a death sentence!
At this moment, in Huangfu Ancient Mountain, within the Huangfu Holy Temple.
Han Gu entered the grand hall, carrying the headless corpse, and bowed to Dantai Yu, who was guarding the spirit of Dantai Xuanzhong. He then set up a soundproof barrier.
After that, Han Gu explained the details of Dantai Xuanzhong's death and Tan Yun's scheme to Dantai Yu.
Upon hearing this, Dantai Yu realized he had misunderstood Tan Yun. Thinking about how he had struck Shen Subing and Mu Mengyi, he felt an immense guilt!
Dantai Yu listened to Tan Yun's strategy, knowing that only he was aware of it, and even Dantai Xian'er had not been informed.
Then, the two of them went to the Meritorious Sacred Realm. The high-ranking members of the Holy Gate, upon hearing the news, all entered the Meritorious Sacred Realm with a doubtful attitude.
