Tantai Xuanzhong’s expression darkened to the extreme. He knew full well that the old fox, Ru Yan Wuji, was deliberately trying to humiliate him.
But… he had no choice except to stand patiently at the mountain gate and wait.
The mountain wind howled. His long hair fluttered wildly as his pale face slowly curled into a cold, chilling smile.
He thought of Tan Yun’s “48-character plan”… which had already begun.
In no more than a few hundred years, his Huangfu Sacred Sect would rise to unparalleled heights!
By then—every grudge from the past… and the humiliation of today… he would repay in full by crushing the Eternal Immortal Sect to the ground!
…
Before long… noon passed into dusk.
“Heh heh… why hasn’t Sect Master Tantai entered the Eternal Secret Realm yet? Or… are you waiting here for me? Hahaha!”
Suddenly, a mocking female voice echoed from the sky.
Tantai Xuanzhong, the 9 chief disciples, Tan Yun, and all the disciples turned to look.
They saw a spirit boat slowly descending from the clouds.
At the bow stood Zhuge Yu, Palace Master of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace, looking down at the people of the Huangfu Sect atop the mountain with disdain.
Behind her stood the “Saintess,” Nangong Yuqin—graceful and breathtaking, like a painting come to life.
Her skin was as white as snow, her features delicate and flawless.
An aura of nobility mixed with cold detachment radiated from her, like a jade goddess descending from a celestial pool.
Her soft pink dress hugged her slender figure perfectly.
Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders—so beautiful it could steal one’s breath away, like a masterpiece crafted by the heavens themselves.
Yet at this moment…
Her gaze was locked onto Tan Yun.
Within her beautiful eyes—there was endless killing intent!
After the previous “Four Arts Competition,” when Nangong Yuqin was gravely injured—
Zhuge Yu had brought her back to the Divine Soul Immortal Palace.
Following Tan Yun’s advice, Zhuge Yu immediately had her take the supreme elixir, “Soul-Returning Pill,” saving her life in the end.
However…
Zhuge Yu never told Nangong Yuqin that the one who had guided her to save her life… was Tan Yun!
She even ordered all the disciples who participated in the competition to keep silent about it!
After Nangong Yuqin regained consciousness…
Zhuge Yu only told her that during the final battle, both she and Tan Yun were severely injured… and nearly died together!
Upon hearing this…
Nangong Yuqin was filled with rage, almost to the point of madness!
She firmly believed that the “Eternal Immortal Realm”… would be the place where Tan Yun would die!
Because the Divine Soul Immortal Palace had won the Four Arts Competition,
they were granted a quota of **3,000 people** to enter the Eternal Realm for the trial!
At this moment…
Behind Nangong Yuqin stood **2,999 disciples**, all at the **Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm**, staring at Tan Yun!
Their eyes were filled with cruelty, hatred, and murderous intent!
Because they had received Zhuge Yu’s order—
“In this trial… Tan Yun must die!”
“Heh…”
Sensing the overwhelming killing intent, Tan Yun raised his head and glanced at the disciples behind Nangong Yuqin, sneering inwardly.
“The Eternal Immortal Realm… will be your grave!”
“If you don’t hide well… I’ll kill you one by one!”
As for Nangong Yuqin…
Even though Tan Yun clearly felt her killing intent,
he couldn’t bring himself to even consider killing her.
Because he still remembered…
That life-and-death duel months ago—
Inside the Hongmeng God-Slaying Formation—
When she collapsed beside him… on the verge of death.
At that moment…
Watching her about to die, his heart ached as if it were being torn apart!
As if… he was about to lose the most important person in his life!
From that moment on—
Tan Yun made a decision!
He would uncover the truth!
Between him and Nangong Yuqin…
Whether in a past life… or this one—
What exactly had happened?
Therefore…
Until he understood the source of that indescribable pain—
Tan Yun… would never kill her.
“Buzz—”
The empty air trembled slightly as ripples spread across space like waves.
Zhuge Yu guided her spirit boat, descending to hover beside the Huangfu Sacred Sect’s vessel atop the mountain peak.
Tantai Xuanzhong cast her a cold glance, then turned away—completely ignoring her.
Zhuge Yu let out a faint snort, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes as she glanced toward Tan Yun.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly—
Two disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect, who had been sitting cross-legged beneath the mountain gate, instantly rose to their feet.
They bowed respectfully.
“This disciple greets Palace Master Zhuge. Please wait a moment—our Sect Master will arrive shortly.”
Seeing their attitude toward Zhuge Yu…
And recalling how they had ignored him earlier—
For the first time, killing intent erupted within Tantai Xuanzhong!
In an instant, he shouted coldly:
“1 hour ago, the two of you dared to gossip and insult me!”
“I gave you 1 hour… to come and apologize!”
“If you admitted your fault, I would have let it go!”
“But I didn’t expect… that you would show no remorse!”
The moment his words fell—
Tantai Xuanzhong flicked his right hand!
“BOOM!!”
Screams rang out instantly!
The bodies of the two disciples exploded into fragments—rotting flesh and blood mist scattering into the wind atop the mountain!
At that very moment—
The winds and clouds above the peak churned violently!
Space began to twist and spiral, slowly forming a “spatial gate” leading to the Eternal Secret Realm!
A figure shot down from the sky—
Ru Yan Wuji, her face slightly flushed, spoke in a low voice:
“Sect Master Tantai, why did you kill my disciples?”
Tantai Xuanzhong chuckled softly.
“Brother Ru Yan, you’ve arrived just in time.”
“1 hour ago, your gatekeepers spoke rudely to me. I merely disciplined them on your behalf.”
After saying that—
He stared directly at Ru Yan Wuji.
“Or… are you dissatisfied?”
Ru Yan Wuji burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! Brother Tantai, what are you saying?”
“Since they disrespected you… they deserved to die!”
Though she appeared indifferent on the surface…
Inwardly, she sneered coldly.
“Tantai Xuanzhong… the moment the trial begins…”
“My sect’s disciples will join forces with the Divine Soul Immortal Palace…”
“And wipe out all 1,000 of your disciples!”
“When that time comes… even if you want to cry, you won’t have any tears left!”
With that thought—
Ru Yan Wuji cupped her fists in greeting, smiling at both Zhuge Yu and Tantai Xuanzhong.
“Please—both of you, along with your disciples!”
As soon as she finished speaking—
Her figure soared into the sky and vanished into the “spatial gate” in midair!
Zhuge Yu immediately followed, piloting her spirit boat closely behind.
Tantai Xuanzhong gave a cold smile before steering his spirit boat upward—
Shooting through the gate of time and space—
And entering the “Eternal Secret Realm”!
…
The Eternal Secret Realm—spanning a vast **30,000,000 li**!
Within it lay countless lakes, rivers, and waterfalls,
Combined with dense heaven and earth spiritual energy,
And drifting mist and clouds—
Creating a breathtaking landscape, like a heavenly paradise… even more beautiful than heaven itself!
However—
The disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect paid no attention to the scenery at all.
Their gazes…
Were locked onto the **3,000 disciples** of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace aboard the spirit boat ahead!
Their eyes burned with fighting spirit!
At the same time—
The male and female disciples of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace turned to look back as well.
Their gazes… were just as resolute!
Nangong Yuqin and the **3,000 disciples** of the Divine Soul Immortal Palace firmly believed—
That if they joined forces with the **2,000 disciples** of the Eternal Immortal Sect participating in this trial—
They would be able to…
“Completely annihilate every last disciple of the Huangfu Sacred Sect!”
Even though the trial had yet to begin—
The atmosphere between both sides…
Was already on the verge of drawing blades and clashing!
