“Reporting to the Saintess…”
Qinxin spoke respectfully.
“At that time, both you and Tan Yun suffered severe injuries after your battle. Once you fell unconscious and were on the verge of death, the Palace Master immediately brought you back to the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace…”
Before she could finish speaking—
Nangong Yuqin interrupted coldly,
“I will say this one last time.”
“I want the truth.”
THUD!
Qinxin was so frightened that she instantly dropped to her knees, her face filled with panic and confusion.
“Saintess, please calm your anger! Every word this disciple said is true!”
“True?”
Nangong Yuqin’s icy gaze seemed capable of piercing straight through her soul.
“If that is true, then why did the people from the Huangfu Sacred Sect say… that Tan Yun was the one who saved my life?”
The moment she heard those words, panic flashed across Qinxin’s eyes before she hurriedly suppressed it.
“Saintess, please do not believe their lies!”
“Your survival had absolutely nothing to do with Tan Yun. It was the Palace Master who saved you!”
“Very good.”
Nangong Yuqin looked at her indifferently.
“You may leave now.”
“I will ask someone else instead.”
“But if I discover that you dared to deceive me…”
“You should know the consequences.”
Qinxin’s body trembled violently.
“S-Saintess… I… I did not mean to lie…”
“It’s just… the Palace Master ordered all disciples who participated in the 4 Arts Competition not to reveal what happened that day…”
“My master?”
Nangong Yuqin frowned slightly, her tone softening a little.
“Qinxin, tell me.”
“I will not tell anyone that you were the one who spoke.”
“Yes…”
Qinxin nodded, though her expression remained full of worry.
“Saintess… if I speak of this, please do not let the Palace Master find out. Otherwise… I fear I will not survive…”
“I promise.”
Nangong Yuqin answered calmly.
“Now speak.”
Qinxin took a deep breath as her memories drifted back to the 4 Arts Competition that day.
After remaining silent for a long moment, she finally revealed the truth.
“Saintess…”
“When you were gravely injured by Tan Yun and stopped breathing, everyone believed you had already died…”
“But at that moment, despite being critically wounded himself, Tan Yun suddenly said…”
“That you had already burned away your 3 souls and 7 spirits. To preserve your life, you needed to consume a Soul Gathering Pill immediately, which could prolong your life for another 100 days.”
“And during the 4 Arts Competition, on the 12th floor of the Sacred Weapon Pavilion, there was medicinal box number 188, which contained the Soul Gathering Pill.”
“So the Palace Master and Sect Master Ru Yan retrieved the pill and fed it to you…”
“Afterward, Tan Yun repeatedly warned that within those 100 days, you absolutely had to consume the supreme holy-grade medicinal pill—the Soul Restoration Pill.”
“Only then… would you truly return to life.”
“And he also said…”
“That you must never consume any other medicinal pills. Otherwise… you would certainly die.”
After hearing everything—
Nangong Yuqin slowly closed her eyes and gently waved her hand.
“I understand. You may leave now.”
“Yes, Saintess.”
Qinxin responded before hurriedly retreating from the cave…
Silence once again returned to the cave.
Nangong Yuqin slowly opened her eyes, her brows tightly furrowed as though recalling something.
A trace of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Within her mind…
That grief-filled crying voice echoed once more, as if her heart were being torn apart.
“Don’t die… don’t die…”
“Please wake up and tell me…”
“Why is it that whenever I see you… I feel such sorrow… such unbearable pain…”
Nangong Yuqin pressed a hand against her aching chest and murmured softly to herself,
“That familiar voice… it belonged to Tan Yun.”
“Could it be that while I was unconscious, it was merely an illusion…”
“Or did it truly happen?”
“3 days ago, when I stabbed him with my sword… my heart was suddenly filled with pain and sadness.”
“Could it be… that he feels the same way toward me?”
“Or perhaps during the final moments of our battle… he heard my crying when I was close to death…”
“Tan Yun…”
Nangong Yuqin whispered with a sorrowful expression.
“What kind of connection truly exists between you and me…”
“Why do our emotions affect each other so deeply…”
…
The following day.
The morning sun slowly rose over the eastern horizon.
Above the endless forest—
The Golden Dragon Lion soared through the skies while carrying Tan Yun and Gongsun Ruoxi on its back.
Over the past 4 days—
Gongsun Ruoxi had been so shocked by Tan Yun and the Golden Dragon Lion that she had almost become numb to it.
She discovered that—
The recovery abilities of the 2 of them were simply terrifyingly abnormal!
She clearly remembered that 4 days ago—
Tan Yun had suffered 3 broken ribs.
His right shoulder had been torn open to the point where white bone was visible.
Yet after only 4 days—
All of his injuries had completely healed, as though they had never existed at all!
The same was true for the Golden Dragon Lion.
4 days earlier, its neck had been nearly torn apart by the Wind-Thunder Dragon’s bite, with blood pouring endlessly from the wound.
Its chest had also been ripped open by dragon claws, leaving horrifyingly deep gashes.
But now—
Those massive wounds had already fully healed, leaving behind only faint scars!
Moreover—
The scars were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye!
At this rate, within no more than 3 days, every trace of their injuries would completely disappear!
“Tan Yun!”
“Tan Yun! Senior Sister Gongsun!”
“Brother-in-law! You’re finally back!”
Accompanied by 3 joyful cries—
Mu Mengji, Zhongwu Siyao, and Xue Ziyan flew out from the forest on their flying swords before stopping in front of the Golden Dragon Lion.
“So you’ve returned.”
Tan Yun looked at Zhongwu Siyao and revealed a faint, carefree smile.
“I brought your Senior Sister Gongsun back safely.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
Zhongwu Siyao jumped onto the Golden Dragon Lion’s back, stood on her tiptoes, and gently kissed Tan Yun on the cheek with her soft red lips.
At that instant—
A sudden chill ran down Tan Yun’s spine for no reason at all.
Afterward, Zhongwu Siyao tightly grabbed Gongsun Ruoxi’s jade-like hand while patting her own chest with the other, as though she still had lingering fear.
“Senior Sister Gongsun, thank goodness you came back safely…”
Suddenly, as if recalling something, killing intent filled Zhongwu Siyao’s beautiful eyes!
“Where’s that bitch Nangong Yuqin?”
“Senior Sister Gongsun… is she dead yet?”
Zhongwu Siyao hated Nangong Yuqin to the bone!
If it weren’t for Nangong Yuqin chasing them, she and Senior Sister Gongsun would never have encountered the Wind-Thunder Dragon!
Gongsun Ruoxi glanced at Tan Yun from the corner of her eye before calmly replying,
“I don’t know.”
“When the Wind-Thunder Dragon started chasing us, she stopped pursuing me and escaped on her own.”
Naturally…
These were the exact words Tan Yun had prepared for her beforehand.
“Oh…”
Zhongwu Siyao nodded lightly, though her gaze remained ice-cold.
“Sooner or later… I’ll kill her with my own hands!”
Afterward—
Tan Yun and the others landed inside the All-Origin Reversal Illusion Formation.
Luo Fan, Song Hong, and the others immediately rushed over to ask Tan Yun how he managed to drive away the Wind-Thunder Dragon and save Gongsun Ruoxi.
But before Tan Yun could answer—
Gongsun Ruoxi looked at both Tan Yun and the Golden Dragon Lion with eyes full of admiration before personally recounting everything that had happened.
She vividly described the moment when the Golden Dragon Lion erupted with terrifying power and heavily injured the Wind-Thunder Dragon while she stood at death’s door.
She also described how Tan Yun attacked fiercely enough to blind both of the dragon’s eyes!
Every word from Gongsun Ruoxi was filled with emotion and vivid detail, making everyone feel as though they had witnessed the battle themselves!
All the listeners turned pale with shock and fear!
As for the Golden Dragon Lion—
It lay proudly beside Tan Yun, listening attentively to the story about itself with obvious excitement.
From time to time, it even bared its fangs toward the crowd as though showing off its own greatness.
And when everyone learned from Gongsun Ruoxi that—
The Wind-Thunder Dragon was a 3rd-level Tribulation Realm demonic beast—
Everyone’s hearts trembled violently!
What did a 3rd-level Tribulation Realm demonic beast represent?
It meant that its strength was comparable to a cultivator at the Great Perfection Soul Refinement Realm!
Moreover—
The Wind-Thunder Dragon was a king among 3rd-level demonic beasts!
If it fought against an ordinary Great Perfection Soul Refinement cultivator, the battle would practically become a one-sided massacre!
But what shocked everyone even more—
Was that Tan Yun’s Golden Dragon Lion…
Was only at the 3rd-stage Growth Rank!
That meant—
Senior Brother Tan’s spirit beast…
Actually possessed the terrifying ability to fight across entire cultivation realms as well!?
