A massacre… was about to begin!
Mu Mengyi had only recently joined the Pill Lineage, yet she volunteered to defend the arena—
this was not a reckless decision.
She might not be certain whether she could surpass the top elites of other lineages,
but there was 1 thing she was absolutely sure of—
aside from Tan Yun… she was inferior to no one!
When Shen Subing heard this,
due to Mu Mengyi’s special status, she did not immediately agree.
Instead, she turned to look at Tan Yun.
In her view—
Tan Yun would understand Mu Mengyi’s **true strength** better than anyone.
Sensing her gaze,
Tan Yun glanced at Mu Mengyi and asked in a low, meaningful voice:
“To what stage have you cultivated?”
“The 1st volume… Great Completion.”
Mu Mengyi’s voice was almost inaudible.
But to Tan Yun—
it felt like a massive weight had been lifted off his chest!
He knew clearly—
the **Nirvana Scripture** he had given her contained a total of **36 volumes**.
Each volume was divided into **4 stages**:
Initial / Minor Completion / Great Completion / Perfection.
And the **1st volume** was designed for cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm!
Although she had not reached Perfection—
just achieving **Great Completion** of the 1st volume—
was already enough to dominate among those at the same level!
Even if she faced Nangong Yuqin—
she would not be at much of a disadvantage!
And if one day she reached Perfection and passed her **1st Nirvana**—
her ability to fight across realms…
would become absolutely terrifying!
Thinking this,
Tan Yun raised his head toward Shen Subing and cupped his fists respectfully:
“Grand Elder, this disciple believes… Mengyi can do it.”
“Very well. Since you say so—I’ll allow it.”
Shen Subing nodded, then looked at Mu Mengyi with a gentle smile.
“Be careful. No matter the outcome, it doesn’t matter.”
“My lineage only needs Tan Yun… that alone is enough for the top 8.”
“Yes.”
Mu Mengyi nodded softly,
then exchanged a glance with Tan Yun.
Whoosh!
The 2 of them leapt onto Hidden Dragon Arenas No. 1 and No. 2,
their robes fluttering like the wind!
In an instant—
countless **killing intents** surged toward them!
The 2 looked at each other from afar,
exchanging only a brief glance.
Tan Yun’s lips moved—without sound.
But Mengyi understood clearly.
**8 words:**
“If they’re enemies—kill without mercy!”
She nodded.
She understood—
she had already become a **shared target** of the Beast Spirit Lineage,
and there were countless disciples… who wanted her dead!
The man she loved—
had made many enemies within the inner sect.
From Tan Yun’s words, she instantly realized—
disciples from various lineages who held grudges against him
would use “challenges” as an excuse… to kill her!
At that moment—
even before Shen Subing could officially announce the start,
a dense **killing aura** had already spread across the entire arena!
She knew—
these killing intents…
were all aimed at the **engaged couple**!
She was not worried about Tan Yun.
In her eyes, he was unmatched among the inner disciples of Huangfu Sect.
What she worried about…
was Mu Mengyi!
Because she had never truly known—
just how strong Mu Mengyi really was!
“Heh… looks like quite a few people want to kill my future son-in-law.”
Tantai Xuanzhong spoke calmly,
yet no one could discern what he was truly thinking.
He… was not worried about Tan Yun at all!
In his view—
Tan Yun had once severely injured Ruyan Chen, the young master of the Eternal Immortal Sect,
and had even nearly killed Nangong Yuqin, the Holy Maiden of the Soul Immortal Palace!
With such strength—
he could surely **sweep through** the elites of all lineages!
Meanwhile—
in the seating area below the jade tower,
Murong Shishi, Daoist Qiankun, and Daoist Fufa all revealed knowing smiles.
The 3 of them—
had participated in the Four Arts Competition before,
and had personally witnessed Tan Yun’s strength!
Although the Sect Master had forbidden them from revealing what happened that day,
they naturally did not dare disobey.
But last night—
the 3 had summoned the **top 300 disciples** of the Artifact Refining, Formation, and Talisman lineages,
and gave them only 1 instruction:
“Tan Yun is extremely strong… if you encounter him tomorrow—
surrender immediately!”
If they encountered Tan Yun while **defending the arena**—
“Concede immediately and yield the position to him!”
If Tan Yun was the defender—
“Do not challenge him under any circumstances!”
The 3 genius disciples, though filled with doubt,
engraved these orders deeply into their minds.
Murong Shishi, Daoist Qiankun, and Daoist Fufa
all felt deep **envy** toward Shen Subing—
for having a genius like Tan Yun in her lineage!
At the same time—
they were more than happy to watch disciples from other lineages… be slaughtered by him!
The 3 of them were convinced—
the Beast Spirit Lineage, the Sacred Spirit Lineage,
and even the Law Enforcement Lineage—
had all received orders from their elders
to **kill Tan Yun**!
They knew very well—
Tan Yun had killed Linghu Changkong, the great-grandson of the Sacred Spirit Dao Elder.
That side would never let it go!
He had also destroyed the son of the Beast Spirit Dao Elder,
driving him to death in despair—
and even taken away his closed-door disciple, Mu Mengyi!
And just 1 hour ago—
Tan Yun had nearly killed him!
How could that man not seek revenge?!
On top of that—
Tan Yun had killed the son of Qiu Yongming!
Qiu Yongming had long been waiting for this 9-lineage battle,
hoping his disciples would kill Tan Yun!
Just as the 3 had predicted—
everything was unfolding exactly as expected!
What they didn’t know was—
even the Five Souls Daoist had secretly ordered his disciples
to kill Tan Yun, clearing the way for his grandson to claim Xue Ziyan!
At this moment—
on the jade tower, Shen Subing had just stood up.
Before she could even announce the start—
Tan Yun had already sensed an overwhelming **killing intent** locking onto him!
It was as if—
the moment the battle began,
all the disciples would rush forward… competing to kill him!
“No matter who comes up… I won’t let a single one leave alive!”
Tan Yun thought to himself.
At that instant—
a streak of sword light shot over from the jade tower,
accompanied by Shen Subing’s voice:
“I will grant you a flying sword—take it!”
“Thank you, Grand Elder!”
Tan Yun reached out and firmly grasped the **mid-grade spirit weapon**!
Then—
Shen Subing’s voice rang out across the entire arena:
“I hereby announce—
the arena defense of the Pill Lineage begins!”
Almost in the same breath—
multiple voices rang out at once!
“This disciple Yu Zhang challenges Tan Yun!”
“Disciple Ye Song challenges!”
“Five Souls—Fist Release—challenge!”
“Xiong Tai of the Beast Spirit Lineage—requesting guidance!”
“Sacred Spirit Lineage—…!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
5 figures shot out from the mountain peaks,
their sword lights stretching dozens of zhang!
They descended onto Hidden Dragon Arena No. 1—
all aiming to kill Tan Yun at the same time!
Tantai Xuanzhong frowned.
Shen Subing was just about to stop them—
to enforce 1-on-1 challenges!
But before she could speak—
a voice echoed across the entire arena!
Filled with boundless killing intent!
“You all want my life… is that it?”
“Heh… good!”
“Then come together—save me the trouble!”
Whoosh!
Tan Yun activated the **Primordial Divine Step**,
vanishing from his original position!
In the blink of an eye—
5 shadows appeared simultaneously above the arena!
5 streaks of sword light—
cut through the air!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Drip… drip…
Blood rained down onto the arena.
5 heads—
and 5 headless bodies—
crashed to the ground amidst a shower of blood!
**1 move—5 decapitations!**
