Chapter Summary
“Everyone knows…” “The reason we’re all still alive today is mostly because of Tan Yun.” “And the reason we were able to nearly wipe out the disciples of the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect… was also because of him.” “If… in the end… he truly becomes trapped inside the Eternal Land…” “I hope that after all of you return to the Huangfu Immortal Sect through the Space-Time Tunnel…” “you will tell the outside world that Tan Yun is dead.” At this point, tears streamed dow...

“Bingbing, go comfort Junior Sister Mu,” Jun Buping said as he glanced toward Shangguan Bingbing.
“Mm.” Shangguan Bingbing nodded softly. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes before walking over to support Mu Mengyi, who was crying so hard she could barely breathe.
In a gentle voice, she comforted her,
“Junior Sister Mu, don’t cry anymore. Since Tan Yun’s identity token hasn’t shattered, that means he’s still alive.”
“Besides, he still has Big Guy protecting him. Nothing will happen to him so easily. You have to stay strong… maybe Tan Yun will come out at any moment…”
While Shangguan Bingbing was comforting Mu Mengyi, Gongsun Ruoxi also helped Zhong Wushiyao to her feet from the ground and offered similar words of comfort.
Eventually, Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wushiyao slowly stopped crying.
Yet their eyes remained fixed blankly on the entrance of the Divine Burial Abyss, still shrouded in endless black mist.
Half a shichen later…
despair filled everyone’s faces even more deeply because Tan Yun still had not appeared!
At this moment, only 2 and a half hours remained before the Space-Time Tunnel opened.
They needed to board the high-grade spirit vessel immediately and head toward Space-Time Immortal Mountain, located 100,000 li away.
Huangfu Tingfeng let out a long sigh before speaking with difficulty.
“Junior Sister Mu… Junior Sister Zhongwu… we should leave now.”
“No… I’m not going!” Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wushiyao shouted simultaneously.
Huangfu Tingfeng spoke sorrowfully,
“If we don’t leave now, I’m afraid we won’t make it back to the Space-Time Tunnel in time…”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhong Wushiyao interrupted through tears.
“You all go ahead! I’ll stay here and wait for him! I don’t want to leave him behind… I don’t want to!”
Zhong Wushiyao was on the verge of collapse.
She simply could not accept the fact that Tan Yun still had not returned.
The others felt the same…
because everyone knew—
Tan Yun was the one who had saved their lives!
The atmosphere was filled with despair and helplessness.
Huangfu Tingfeng understood clearly that if anyone could persuade Mu Mengyi to leave, it had to be someone from the Alchemy Lineage.
Since he himself was from the Inscription Lineage, he turned toward Luo Fan and Song Hong, the two people closest to Tan Yun.
Luo Fan wiped away his tears before stopping beside Mu Mengyi.
His eyes were bloodshot with sorrow.
“Junior Sister Mu… try thinking from Senior Brother Tan’s perspective. I believe he would never want you and Junior Sister Zhongwu to stay here waiting for him.”
“What he fears most… is probably that you’ll fail to return through the Space-Time Tunnel and end up dying here in the Eternal Land…”
“And more than that, he definitely wouldn’t want you to be killed by a beast tide because of him… don’t you think so?”
Mu Mengyi and Zhong Wushiyao’s bodies trembled slightly.
After a long silence, Mu Mengyi finally nodded blankly, as though her soul had left her body.
“Fine…”
“We’ll go with everyone…”
Hearing this, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Senior Sister Mu… are we really going to leave him behind?!” Zhong Wushiyao rushed forward and hugged Mu Mengyi tightly before the two women broke down crying once more.
After a long while, Mu Mengyi gently wiped away Zhong Wushiyao’s tears and said in a trembling voice,
“Junior Sister… you have to believe it.”
“The man we love won’t die so easily.”
“One day… he’ll return safely and stand before us again.”
Zhong Wushiyao nodded tearfully, unable to stop sobbing.
Then Mu Mengyi turned toward the crowd.
Her reddened eyes were filled with worry.
“There’s something… I want to ask of all of you.”
“Junior Sister Mu, please speak!”
Huangfu Tingfeng, Ke Xinyi, Jun Buping, Shangguan Bingbing, Baili Longtian, Xiao Qingxuan, and Lu Ren all answered at the same time.
“Sister-in-law, just give the order! Your words are Senior Brother Tan’s command!” the disciples of the Alchemy Lineage declared in unison.
Mu Mengyi tried hard to hold back her tears, but her voice still trembled slightly.
“Everyone knows…”
“The reason we’re all still alive today is mostly because of Tan Yun.”
“And the reason we were able to nearly wipe out the disciples of the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect… was also because of him.”
“If… in the end… he truly becomes trapped inside the Eternal Land…”
“I hope that after all of you return to the Huangfu Immortal Sect through the Space-Time Tunnel…”
“you will tell the outside world that Tan Yun is dead.”
At this point, tears streamed down Mu Mengyi’s face once more.
“Because the Eternal Land belongs to the territory of the Eternal Immortal Sect.”
“Tan Yun killed far too many disciples from the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Spirit Immortal Palace…”
“If Ruyan Wuji and Zhuge Yu discover that he’s still alive…”
“I’m afraid that after we leave the Eternal Land… they might reopen the Space-Time Tunnel and come back here to hunt him down…”
After hearing those words, everyone’s eyes turned red with tears as they nodded in agreement.
A moment later, Huangfu Tingfeng summoned a high-grade spirit vessel and brought everyone aboard. Only Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wushiyao, and Xue Ziyan remained standing before the entrance of the God Burial Abyss.
Mu Mengyi stared deep into the black mist-covered abyss, then shouted hoarsely—
“Tan Yun! Don’t forget the promise you made to me and Sister Siyao!”
“You must come back alive! Otherwise, even in death, we’ll never forgive you!”
After saying that, she turned around and grabbed the hands of Zhong Wushiyao and Xue Ziyan, whose eyes were swollen red from crying, before flying onto the spirit vessel.
Huangfu Tingfeng looked down at the God Burial Abyss with bloodshot eyes and muttered softly,
“Brother Tan… I’ll wait for the day you return…”
Afterward, he controlled the spirit vessel and sped toward the Space-Time Immortal Mountain, located 100,000 li away…
15:45.
The setting sun painted the sky crimson red.
Only a short time remained before the Space-Time Tunnel would open!
At the summit of Space-Time Immortal Mountain, Nangong Yuqin stood amidst the wind, her expression cold as frost. Her long hair fluttered behind her, and her flowing dress danced in the breeze, making her appear like a celestial goddess descended from the heavens.
Beside her stood Ru Yanchen, whose injuries had already healed. He spoke viciously,
“Saintess, once we return, we must tell my father and your Hall Master the truth behind the deaths of the disciples from our 2 ancient sects!”
“The Huangfu Sect must pay this blood debt!”
“Of course,” Nangong Yuqin replied icily.
Suddenly, her brows furrowed tightly as killing intent erupted from her beautiful eyes.
She saw a spirit vessel flying rapidly from the horizon!
Moments later, the vessel landed atop the mountain.
Nangong Yuqin and Ru Yanchen were both stunned when they realized every disciple from the Huangfu Sect had red, tear-filled eyes. The tear stains on their faces had not even dried yet.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Mu Mengyi and the others descended from the spirit vessel, their expressions filled with grief. None of them even spared Nangong Yuqin or Ru Yanchen a glance.
At that moment, Ru Yanchen noticed something and suddenly burst into delighted laughter.
“Hahaha! Where’s Tan Yun? Why are all of you crying like someone died?”
“Don’t tell me… Tan Yun is dead?!”
“Good! Excellent! That bastard deserved it! Hahaha!”
“You filthy dog! Say one more word and I’ll tear you apart right now!”
Mu Mengyi’s body trembled violently as she instantly appeared before Ru Yanchen!
Rumble— Rumble— Rumble—
In an instant, more than 100 Pill Vein disciples unleashed the pressure of the 1st Level Soul Refinement Realm simultaneously!
Blurred figures flashed through the air as they surrounded Ru Yanchen and Nangong Yuqin from every direction!
The Pill Vein disciples roared in unison, their killing intent surging into the heavens and shaking the clouds themselves—
“Say that again and we’ll rip you into pieces!”
Ru Yanchen’s face turned deathly pale with fear. His body shook uncontrollably as he hurriedly stammered,
“Everyone, calm down! I misspoke! I won’t say another word!”
Only then did the Pill Vein disciples withdraw and return behind Mu Mengyi once more.
“Where is he… Where is Tan Yun…”
At that moment, Nangong Yuqin finally realized something—
Among all the Pill Vein disciples… Tan Yun was nowhere to be seen.
An indescribable panic suddenly engulfed her heart.
Her face turned pale as she stared fixedly at Mu Mengyi and asked uncontrollably,
“Where… is Tan Yun?”
And Mu Mengyi’s answer caused Nangong Yuqin’s delicate body to tremble violently.
“Isn’t this exactly what you wanted?”
Mu Mengyi looked at Nangong Yuqin with icy eyes and spoke word by word—
“He… is dead.”
Even though Mu Mengyi knew very well how ominous it was to say the word “dead” aloud…
She had no choice.
Because in order to protect the secret that Tan Yun was still alive—
She had to say it.
