“Alright, I’ll go now.”
After Luo Fan agreed—
Tan Yun immediately continued:
“Big guy—go with him.”
“Roar!”
The **Golden Dragon Lion** leapt out from Tan Yun’s chest—
then landed steadily on Luo Fan’s right shoulder!
In that instant—
Luo Fan’s smile froze…
turning into a stiff, uneasy grin full of fear!
“Senior Brother Luo, don’t worry. It won’t hurt you.”
Tan Yun smiled faintly.
“Y-Yeah… alright…”
Luo Fan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He was just about to leave—
when Tan Yun suddenly remembered something.
“Wait!”
As he spoke—
he flicked out a strand of spiritual energy,
which transformed into the **image of Nangong Yuqin**!
Then he gave a firm command:
“Big guy… if you see her—”
“Do NOT harm her. And absolutely do NOT kill her.”
“Capture her alive only. Understood?”
“Roar!”
The Golden Dragon Lion nodded heavily.
Its gaze locked onto Nangong Yuqin’s image—
and for a brief moment,
a trace of **longing** flickered in its eyes…
before the image dissipated.
“Roar… roar…”
It let out a series of low growls at Tan Yun,
as if trying to say something—
but in the end,
it fell silent.
---
As Luo Fan left the formation with the Golden Dragon Lion—
walking toward the edge of the forest,
he muttered to himself:
“Lord Spirit Lion… do you think Senior Brother Tan…”
“…has fallen in love with Nangong Yuqin?”
“Roar!”
The lion on his shoulder nodded immediately!
It remembered clearly—
Nangong Yuqin was the **adopted daughter of the Tan family**,
someone it had watched grow up since childhood!
At that moment—
its eyes showed a very human-like confusion.
It didn’t know about their marriage,
nor did it know she had once been taken away—
but one thing it remembered clearly was:
she had always called its master…
“Big Brother.”
So why—
had they now become **enemies**?
The Golden Dragon Lion was deeply confused.
But—
it chose not to ask.
Because after inheriting the memories of the **Golden Dragon God**,
it lived by one principle:
**Whatever the master commands—obey.**
No questions.
No doubts.
So—
it remained silent about the relationship between its master…
…and his “little sister.”
---
Inside the formation—
Song Hong and the other **14 alchemy disciples**
had already entered **closed-door cultivation**.
As for Tan Yun—
he sat cross-legged,
preparing to let the **Primordial Ice Flame** and **Primordial Flame**
devour the **spiritual fire seeds**.
Right now—
he possessed a large number of them:
• **3** top-grade treasure-level ice seeds — *Black Ice Steel Flame*
• **1** low-grade quasi-king ice seed — *Supreme Yin Profound Flame* (from Tan Zhongde)
• **1** mid-grade quasi-king fire seed — *Heavenly True Flame*
In addition—
there were rewards from Tantai Xuanzhong:
• **1** top-grade treasure-level fire seed — *Blazing Spirit Flame*
• **1** top-grade treasure-level ice seed — *True Ice Spirit Flame*
Tan Yun knew—
there was no way he could absorb all of them in a short time.
So—
he could only **absorb as much as possible first**.
With that thought—
he immediately took out the **3 Black Ice Steel Flames**!
Each one—
over **0.5 zhang** tall!
“Go!”
Sitting cross-legged—
Tan Yun pushed forward with his left palm!
“Whoosh—!”
In an instant—
a **3-zhang-tall icy-blue flame** burst out from his palm!
The **Primordial Ice Flame**, at **Level 2 Minor Completion**—
released a terrifying, bone-chilling aura!
Then it surged forward—
instantly engulfing all **3 Black Ice Steel Flames**!
Suddenly—
the **3 Black Ice Steel Flames** began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Tan Yun didn’t hesitate—
he immediately took out another **top-grade treasure-level fire seed**:
**Blazing Spirit Flame!**
“**Primordial Flame—devour it!**”
“Whoosh—!”
In an instant—
a **9-zhang-tall violet flame** burst from Tan Yun’s right palm!
It bared its fangs like a ferocious beast—
and lunged toward the Blazing Spirit Flame!
The **3-chi-tall flame** began to shrink—
as it was violently devoured by the **Level 3 Primordial Flame (complete stage)**!
---
**1 month passed inside the formation…**
The Primordial Flame—
completely devoured the Blazing Spirit Flame!
And signs began to show—
that it was about to break through to **Level 3 Peak Stage**!
Without hesitation—
Tan Yun took out the **mid-grade quasi-king fire seed**:
**Heavenly True Flame**
—and fed it to the Primordial Flame immediately!
At the same time—
the **Level 2 Minor Completion Primordial Ice Flame**
continued devouring the **3 Black Ice Steel Flames**.
---
At this moment—
**1 month inside the formation = only 20 days outside**.
---
During the next **20 days**—
Mu Mengyi, Xue Ziyan, and another **136 alchemy disciples**
arrived one after another.
---
Time passed quickly.
**1 month outside = 1.5 months inside the formation.**
During this time—
another **117 disciples** arrived.
But—
**Zhong Wu Shiyao and Gongsun Ruoxi were still missing!**
Even though Tan Yun confirmed that **Zhong Wu Shiyao’s identity token had not shattered**—
Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan
were still deeply worried.
---
Suppressing his concern—
Tan Yun continued controlling the **Primordial Ice Flame**.
“Whoosh—!”
Suddenly—
the **3-zhang-tall flame** expanded to **6 zhang**!
It broke through:
**Level 2 Minor Completion → Major Completion → Peak → Level 3 Initial Stage!**
Its power—
could now **instantly destroy low-grade treasures!**
“Return!”
The flame shot back—
and merged into Tan Yun’s left palm!
---
He then turned to the **Primordial Flame**
still devouring the Heavenly True Flame.
He murmured:
“Within **3 days**…”
“…it will reach Level 3 Peak.”
---
**3 days later—**
after devouring only **1/3** of the Heavenly True Flame—
“Whoosh—!”
The flame expanded to **12 zhang**!
It successfully broke through to:
**Level 3 Peak Stage!**
Its power—
could now burn even **high-grade treasures into ashes instantly!**
Tan Yun recalled it into his right palm—
and stored the remaining **2/3** of the Heavenly True Flame in his Qiankun Ring.
---
At present—
he still had:
• Heavenly True Flame (incomplete)
• True Ice Spirit Flame (top-grade treasure-level)
• Supreme Yin Profound Flame (low-grade quasi-king)
---
“Whoosh!”
Tan Yun stood up—
and instantly—
Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan rushed toward him!
Their faces were filled with anxiety!
“Tan Yun! It’s been almost **2 months**… Shiyao still hasn’t come! What should we do?!”
Mu Mengyi’s eyes were red with tears.
Xue Ziyan bit her lip, staring at him nervously.
Tan Yun clenched his fists—
and said firmly:
“Stay calm.”
“Shiyao’s token is intact—she’s still alive.”
“Wait **5 more days**.”
“If she still doesn’t show up…”
“…I’ll go find her myself!”
---
After that—
Tan Yun counted the alchemy disciples.
Total (including himself): **255 people**
He checked the shattered tokens—
and let out a heavy sigh.
“Another **75 alchemy disciples… are dead.”**
The moment he said it—
**sobs broke out instantly**.
Because among those 75—
were close friends… and companions.
---
**5 days later…**
Just as Tan Yun, Mengyi, and Ziyan
were filled with worry—
suddenly—
a familiar female voice echoed from the sky above the forest:
“Tan Yun! Sister Mu! It’s me—Shiyao! Where are you… sob…”
“Whoosh!”
Tan Yun immediately soared into the sky on his flying sword!
When he saw **Zhong Wu Shiyao** crying atop her sword—
he shouted:
“Shiyao! I’m here!”
“Waaah…”
She rushed forward—
throwing herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably!
“Tan Yun! Hurry—go save Sister Gongsun!”
“If we’re too late… she’ll die for sure!”
“Don’t cry…” Tan Yun said softly.
“Tell me—what happened?”
Shiyao spoke urgently:
“After I met Sister Gongsun, we were on our way to find you…”
“But on the way—we were chased by **Nangong Yuqin**!”
“2 days ago, when we passed the entrance of the **Burial God Abyss**…”
“A **Level 3 demonic beast** appeared—a **2-headed dragon**!”
“It chased both Nangong Yuqin and Sister Gongsun!”
“I’m afraid that now…”
“…something may have happened to them!”
---
The moment Tan Yun heard the name **Nangong Yuqin**—
his heart trembled!
He gently let go of Shiyao—
and said urgently:
“Shiyao! Stay here with Mengyi!”
“Wait for me to return!”
Then—
he roared into the sky:
“**Big guy—get here now!!!**”
