Four hours later, as the scorching sun leaned towards the west,
on the lush green grass beneath the entrance of the Huangfu Secret Realm, Feng Yun, Feng Qingcheng, and the original eleven Formation Lineage Ancestral Patriarchs had changed out of their sect uniforms.
Behind them followed over a thousand disciples, who were all members of the Feng Clan.
“Yes, Master.” Song Huixin replied and opened the Secret Realm Gate.
Gazing up at the opened Secret Realm Gate in the sky, Feng Yun, Feng Qingcheng, and the others felt a wave of relief.
Before this, they had been wary of Tan Yun, unsure if he would go back on his word, but it was clear now that Tan Yun truly intended to let them go.
At this moment, Feng Yun silently celebrated, grateful that he had helped Tan Yun ten years ago, which prevented Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shiyao from being mistakenly killed by Dantai Yu.
He understood that although Tan Yun was trustworthy, he was definitely not someone to be trifled with. If he hadn’t saved the two women, he and all members of the Feng Clan within the Huangfu Sacred Sect would have long been cold corpses!
Feng Yun deeply bowed to Tan Yun and sincerely said, “If one day, Sovereign Tan no longer wishes to stay in the Huangfu Sacred Sect, my Feng Clan will always welcome you.”
Tan Yun smiled faintly, “You’re being polite. If the Feng Clan has no place to rest, my Huangfu Sacred Sect will also welcome you back at any time.”
Feng Yun chuckled dismissively, “Then it’s settled. We shall take our leave now, and I hope the Huangfu Sacred Sect can get through this crisis.”
Afterward, Feng Yun summoned a Spirit Vessel, and once everyone boarded, he maneuvered the Spirit Vessel and flew out of the Secret Realm Gate.
In the next moment, Feng Qingcheng leaped off the vessel, her skirt billowing, standing in mid-air before the Secret Realm Gate, looking down at Tan Yun with a complex expression in her beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, Feng Qingcheng’s melodious yet willful voice rang out in Tan Yun’s mind, “You are the first man to have seen my body. You cannot die without my permission!”
Having said that, Feng Qingcheng vanished into the Secret Realm Gate.
Tan Yun frowned and shook his head, not taking it to heart.
“Yun'er, are we just going to let them go like this?” Dantai Long said, feeling quite unwilling.
“Uncle, a man without trust cannot stand. Since I said I would let them go, even if they were to return in the future, I would still let them go.” Tan Yun looked at Dantai Long and continued, “Regardless of the circumstances, if it weren’t for Feng Yun, Grandfather would have probably killed Mengyi and Shiyao by now.”
“This debt of gratitude weighs heavily on my heart, and it must be repaid.”
“Now that this debt has been repaid, if we meet again and are still on opposing sides, I will not hold back!”
Upon hearing this, Dantai Long stroked his beard and laughed, “Well said!”
“Uncle, I have something to do. I need to go visit Xian'er. I will take my leave now.” After bidding farewell to Dantai Long, Tan Yun used the massive teleportation array within the lake cave to reach the Heavenly Palace Great Hall above Huangfu Ancient Mountain.
As soon as Dantai Yu saw Tan Yun return, she eagerly said, “Yun'er, quickly tell Grandfather what you meant when you said Xuanzhong would return.”
“Grandfather, this is a long story. Let’s go find Xian'er first, and then I will explain everything to you in detail, alright?” Tan Yun replied.
“Okay, okay, okay.” Dantai Yu promptly agreed, taking Tan Yun’s hand as they stepped out of the Heavenly Palace and summoned the Spirit Vessel.
After Tan Yun boarded the Spirit Vessel, he called Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wu Shiyao up as well.
Then, Dantai Yu maneuvered the Spirit Vessel, flying towards Dantai Xian'er’s Immortal Valley...
On the Spirit Vessel, after Tan Yun called the two women into the cultivation room, they noticed Tan Yun looked hesitant to speak, and thus they asked him what had happened.
