Upon hearing this, the entire venue was in shock!
The disciples and the high-ranking members exchanged glances, their expressions filled with disbelief.
"What does this mean? How could they come back so strongly?" one of the disciples whispered, his voice trembling with excitement and anxiety.
The atmosphere was thick with tension as everyone awaited further clarification.
In the midst of this confusion, a figure stepped forward, their presence radiating confidence and authority.
It was none other than Tan Yun, who had returned after a long absence.
With a determined gaze, Tan Yun addressed the crowd, "I know many of you have doubts, but I assure you, I've grown stronger during my time away. The challenges I faced have only fueled my determination."
Mur murmurs spread throughout the crowd.
"Is it really possible for someone to grow that much in such a short time?"
"But Tan Yun is different. We’ve seen his potential before!"
As the discussions continued, a familiar face caught Tan Yun's eye — Mu Mengyi.
She stood at the forefront, her expression a mix of joy and concern.
"Tan Yun, are you really okay? We missed you," she called out, her voice ringing with sincerity.
Tan Yun smiled warmly, "I’m fine, Mengyi. I’ve come back not just for myself, but for all of you."
The warmth in his voice seemed to dispel some of the doubts lingering in the air.
Meanwhile, whispers about the Huangfu Sacred Sect's recent movements began to circulate.
"It seems the Sacred Sect is preparing for something big," one elder remarked, his brows furrowed in thought.
"We need to be ready for whatever they are planning," another added, concern etched on his face.
Tan Yun could sense the unease among the crowd.
"I understand your worries, but I have a plan to confront any threats that may arise," he stated confidently.
The crowd fell silent, intrigued by his words.
"What do you have in mind?" a senior disciple asked, curiosity piqued.
With a grin, Tan Yun replied, "First, we need to gather our allies and strengthen our defenses. The time for hesitation is over!"
As he spoke, the atmosphere shifted from uncertainty to determination.
The disciples rallied around him, their spirits ignited by his resolve.
"Let’s show them the strength of the Huangfu Sacred Sect!" someone shouted, and soon a chorus of agreement followed.
Tan Yun's heart swelled with pride at the sight of his comrades rallying together.
"Together, we can face any challenge that comes our way!" he declared, his voice echoing through the venue.
The crowd erupted into cheers, their morale soaring high as they prepared for the inevitable battles ahead.
From that moment on, Tan Yun's powerful return marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Huangfu Sacred Sect.
With unity and determination, they stood ready to confront whatever destiny had in store for them.
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief!
"Ah!"
At this moment, Jin Wenzu, holding the Divine Sword with both hands and bowing towards the statue of the ancestor master, let out a terrified scream!
He saw a purple, ghostly figure flash before him, and then, he was grabbed by the throat, his feet lifted off the ground!
It was Tan Yun, cloaked in a long robe, gripping Jin Wenzu's neck with his left hand and lifting him up, murderous intent radiating before everyone!
That's right, it was indeed Tan Yun!
In fact, Tan Yun had arrived at the Heavenly Palace through the teleportation array within the grand palace last night!
The reason the assassination organization seemed elusive was that the Heavenly Palace, which had been abandoned by the ancestor master, was the stronghold of the assassination organization.
In the past, the Heavenly Palace had been kept by Dantai Xuanzhong within the Huangfu Holy Temple, and members of the assassination organization came through a massive teleportation array from a stone cave at the entrance of the Huangfu Secret Realm, first arriving at the grand palace and then using the teleportation array within the palace to reach the Heavenly Palace!
