After putting away the primordial flame, Tan Yun cupped his fists and asked the woman in black, "Who are you?"
The woman in black looked at the members of the Feng Clan and said, "I need to discuss important matters with Sovereign Tan, please excuse yourselves."
"Alright." Feng Tianlun responded, and Tan Yun said, "Feng Clan Leader, Qingcheng is currently in the Huangfu Secret Realm. You can enter the Secret Realm first, and I will join you shortly."
"Sure." The woman in black waved her right hand and set up a soundproof barrier, saying, "My name is He Lian Bing, and I am a person of the Sixth Prince Tang Xi from the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty."
"The Sixth Prince is the brother of the Ninth Princess. He asked me to tell you that the Ninth Princess has been deprived of her spirit pool by the Tang Zun Holy Lord."
"Not only has the Ninth Princess gone mad, but her lifespan is now less than thirty-two years. The Sixth Prince wants me to tell you to find a way to save the Ninth Princess."
Hearing this, Tan Yun smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't know any Ninth Princess, and I don't want to save anyone."
Tan Yun did not want any further ties with the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty. After saying this, he turned coldly and intended to leave.
"Tan Yun, stop right there!" He Lian Bing scolded coldly.
Thinking of Mu Mengyi's father's death, an explosion of anger surged within Tan Yun. He suddenly turned around, staring fiercely at He Lian Bing, and said in a deep voice, "Don't think that just because you helped me kill a few people, I won't kill you!"
"If you dare to shout at me again, believe it or not, I will kill you on the spot!"
He Lian Bing trembled at the sight of the killing intent in Tan Yun's eyes!
Suppressing her anger, she said coldly, "Fine, I’ll leave!"
"However, Sovereign Tan, I still want to say that if it weren't for you, the Ninth Princess would not have been deprived of her spirit pool and locked in the sky prison, becoming a madwoman!"
"If it weren't for the Ninth Princess risking her life more than forty years ago to stop the Tang Zun Holy Lord from attacking the Huangfu Sacred Sect, with the Huangfu Sacred Sect's power back then, it would have long been destroyed by the Tang Clan and the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty's army!"
After saying this, He Lian Bing turned to vanish into the void, but Tan Yun's heart sank, and he shouted, "Wait! Who is the Ninth Princess you mentioned?"
He Lian Bing suddenly turned her head back, "Tang Xinying."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun felt a blankness in his mind. Putting aside his grievances with Mu Mengyi and the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty, he had always regarded Tang Xinying as a close friend!
In his anxious state, he remained vigilant, wary of being deceived and led into the Tang Zun Sacred Dynasty to be killed.
"How can I trust your words?" Tan Yun clenched his fists.
With He Lian Bing's intelligence, she realized that Tan Yun did not know that Tang Xinying was the Ninth Princess.
This was indeed the case; Tan Yun knew that Tang Xinying was a princess, but he did not know which princess she was.
He Lian Bing hurriedly said, "I have a memory image."
As she spoke, she waved her delicate arm, and a surge of spiritual power transformed into a scene in the void.
When Tan Yun saw the scene in the image, his heart felt like it was being pierced by needles, with a sting and heart-wrenching pain!
He saw Tang Xinying in prisoner clothes, trembling and curled up in the corner of a cell.
He saw her crying at times and laughing madly at others.
The memories of when he was still an Outer Sect Disciple, during the trial in the Fallen God Canyon, surfaced in his mind. He recalled the scene of Tang Xinying, wearing a black dress and a masked face, generously wielding a stunning sword to kill a demon beast and rescue him.
At that moment, all the moments spent with Tang Xinying, every smile, and every frown lingered in Tan Yun’s mind for a long time.
He also recalled the content of the letter she wrote to him, which now surfaced in his heart.
Looking at the image of Tang Xinying, his heart ached even more!
