"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
"Shiyao, what are you doing?" Tan Yun said, her heart in turmoil as she quickly supported Zhong Wu Shiyao to her feet.
"Mu Jie Jie." Zhong Wu Shiyao sobbed as she fell into Mu Mengyi's embrace, holding her tightly.
Mu Mengyi's beautiful eyes glistened with tears, softly comforting her...
"The only promise I can make is that if Tang Xinying did not participate in the massacre of my Mu Feng Sacred Dynasty back then, I won't kill her."
"If she did participate, I must ensure that she, along with the entire Tang Clan and the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty royal family, pays the price."
"Shiyao, I value our sisterhood, but I also have to be responsible for the countless lives lost in my Mu Feng Sacred Dynasty!"
"Do you... understand?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Wu Shiyao choked with tears, "I understand, sister, I understand."
At the same time, Zhong Wu Shiyao was extremely worried about Tang Xinying's safety.
From the content of the letter, she realized that Tang Xinying's influence in front of her father was not as powerful as it seemed.
She clearly remembered that fifteen years ago, Tang Xinying had entrusted her to deliver a letter to Tan Yun. Yet, ten years ago, the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty had not attacked, indicating that Tang Xinying had ultimately prevented this war from happening in front of her father!
However, to this day, Tang Xinying had not returned to the Huangfu Sacred Sect, which likely meant she was being confined for stopping her father from attacking the Huangfu Sacred Sect, or even worse!
Zhong Wu Shiyao could think of these possibilities, and so could Tan Yun.
Setting aside the grievances between the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty and Mu Mengyi, Tan Yun felt deeply moved by Tang Xinying's actions for her own sake.
However, Tan Yun understood that he did not want to become entangled with Tang Xinying.
Of course, Tan Yun had never liked Tang Xinying. If she were not Shiyao's sister, he would never have taught her the sixteen series and thirty-two series of alchemical arts.
At this moment, Tan Yun was indeed feeling a bit anxious!
He didn't want to hurt Mu Mengyi's feelings, nor did he want to hurt Zhong Wu Shiyao's.
At the same time, he hoped Tang Xinying was safe and still alive. He even wished that Tang Xinying had nothing to do with Tang Yongsheng's attack on Mu Feng Sacred Dynasty!
If there was a connection, Tan Yun would definitely not let Tang Xinying off the hook!
For the first time, the atmosphere felt so oppressive when Tan Yun was with the several girls that even the usually carefree Xue Ziyan felt a bit breathless.
"Sisters, the Huangfu Sacred Sect is now facing a great enemy. We should calm ourselves and go into seclusion for now." At this moment, Dantai Xian'er held Mu Mengyi with her left hand and pulled Zhong Wu Shiyao with her right, softly speaking.
"Mm." After the two girls responded, they bid farewell to Tan Yun, and together with Xue Ziyan and Dantai Xian'er, they soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon...
"Sigh!" Tan Yun sighed deeply, then took out the Supreme Exquisite Holy Tower from his bosom, instructing the golden dragon spirit lion and heavenly slayer demon ape to work hard on their cultivation within the sixth and seventh layers, before placing the Holy Tower into a decorative vase.
After that, Tan Yun closed his eyes and concentrated, waiting for nightfall.
He originally planned to confess the matter between himself and Shen Subing to Mengyi, Shiyao, and Xian'er, but after what had just happened with Tang Xinying, he refrained from saying anything.
...
Eight hours later, the night was deep, and the moonlight was thickening.
At the summit of the Meritorious Immortal Mountain, under the bright moonlight, a breathtakingly beautiful girl stood gracefully.
The girl was dressed in a golden floral long dress, with delicate eyebrows and phoenix eyes, her skin as white as snow, and her body exquisitely curvaceous. Through the semi-transparent skirt hem, her long straight legs could be seen appearing and disappearing.
