Apotheosis Bella shouted and her figure flickered lightning-fast and instantly appeared in front of the remaining two Perfected Golden Immortals. Her Innate immortal sword kept unleashing sword moves and quickly beheaded them.
"Aaaaargh …"
A mournful scream came out of Dao Lord Green Firmament's mouth. His facial features began to distort and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"I killed your Senior Brother and Master, so I have a blood feud with you." Tan Xiu sneered. "Your life is under my control, so you're like a loyal dog in front of me now. But once I remove my control over you in the future, I'm afraid this blood feud will become the driving force for you to become stronger. You must die in order to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. "
"You treacherous bastard! I …" Dao Lord Green Firmament howled miserably.
"EXPLODE!"
Tan Xiu didn't give him the chance to finish his words and directly controlled his Immortal Soul to explode and scatter away.
Shortly after …
He looked at the others and said in a deep voice, "Star Tears and Sablefiend Scorpio stay here. The rest of you, enter the Heavenly Abode artifact."
"Understood!"
It was the first time for everyone to witness Tan Xiu's ruthlessness, so their attitude became more respectful than before and entered the Heavenly Abode artifact.
"Xiu …"
Apotheosis Bella realized that she had said something wrong just as she opened her mouth. She quickly changed the topic and said, "Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, our cooperation is over. I'll leave these four people from the Rosefinch Holy Sect to you."
Tan Xiu slightly nodded and said, "Apotheosis Bella, I'd like to thank you for your help this time. I won't keep you any longer after their injuries have healed. I'll go to the Immortal Lyceum to express my gratitude again when I have some free time in the future. "
Apotheosis Bella was reluctant to part with him, but she knew that Tan Xiu's identity couldn't be exposed, so she nodded and said, "I'll be waiting for you in the Immortal Lyceum. Farewell. "
Having said that …
She took her four Perfected Golden Immortal subordinates and left at an extremely fast speed.
Tan Xiu retracted his gaze and went straight to a boulder not far away, sitting cross-legged and waiting for Apotheon Myriad Notes' group to finish healing.
Time flew by.
Twelve hours passed in the blink of an eye. When Apotheon Myriad Notes floated up, the other three also moved. They instantly stood side by side with Apotheon Myriad Notes and looked at Tan Xiu, who was sitting cross-legged on a boulder not far away. The four of them understood that even if there were Supremes and more than a dozen Perfected Golden Immortals, the real leader was the seemingly weak mysterious young man who could even kill a Perfected Golden Immortal.
"Sablefiend Scorpio, you also enter the Heavenly Abode artifact and leave Star Tears to protect me," Tan Xiu opened his eyes and calmly said.
Sablefiend Scorpio nodded slightly and her figure turned into a stream of light and entered the Heavenly Abode artifact.
Star Tears?
Apotheon Myriad Notes, Soaring Plumb, Nine Immortal Fingers, and Enchantress Yu turned to look at Star Tears, their eyes sparkling.
Star Tears' appearance slightly changed. When she restored her original appearance, she forced a smile at the four and said, "I've made you suffer for the past 100 years."
"Martial Aunt?"
Apotheon Myriad Notes' group of four looked incredulous, followed by ecstasy on their faces. Even Enchantress Yu shed tears and kowtowed in front of Star Tears.
Star Tears helped the four of them up and sighed. "You four are great. Worthy of being disciples of my Rosefinch Holy Sect and worthy of being my nephew's good disciples."
Apotheon Myriad Notes suppressed his surging emotions and respectfully said, "Thank you for coming to save us, Martial Aunt. Too many of our people have come here in the past 100 years, but they also lost their lives because of the four of us. If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't commit suicide, we would've died long ago. "
Star Tears faintly sighed and said, "You don't need to thank me. The one who really saved you is him, Great Tang Heavenly Emperor. In fact, I'm also in deep prison. If it weren't for him buying me out of the Convict Arena, I'm afraid it wouldn't have taken me long to die in the Convict Arena. "
"What?"
The four were greatly shaken and their eyes shifted to Tan Xiu at the same time. They then cupped their fists and bowed. "Thank you for risking your life to save us, Great Tang Heavenly Emperor."
Tang Xiu looked at them quietly, countless thoughts churning in his mind. He really wanted to tell the four of them his true identity, but he was afraid that if he told them, any of them would be captured in the future and his identity would be exposed, unless they could break through to the Supremacy Stage. Or he could use the Soul Seal Spell on them.
After a long while …
Tan Xiu sighed inwardly and said, "If you want to thank me, then serve me for 5,000 years! As for the matters of the Rosefinch Holy Sect, you don't need to worry about it for the time being. "
The complexion of the four changed. Apotheon Myriad Notes took a step forward and cupped his fists. "Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, you've saved our lives. We should stay by your side and serve you for 5,000 years since you've asked for it. But my sect is now in a precarious situation and is in danger. I hope you can forgive us, Great Tang Heavenly Emperor. We must return to the Rosefinch Holy Sect to protect the sect and fight against the enemies. "
"You can still fight the enemies by staying by my side," said Tan Xiu lightly. "Don't tell me that the previous battle where Zither Demon Jiuyao's Martial Uncle, Myriad Thunder Supreme, and six enemy Perfected Golden Immortals weren't to help the Rosefinch Holy Sect?"
"This …"
The four quickly exchanged glances. Apotheon Myriad Notes then said, "You're right. It was indeed to help the Rosefinch Holy Sect. But we're always restless and restless if we don't return to the sect. I hope you can forgive us, Great Tang Heavenly Emperor. "
Suddenly …
Star Tears looked at Tan Xiu and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, you promised me that you'll give me an explanation once the four of them are rescued. I want to know who you are. "
"Do I really have to know?" Tan Xiu forced a smile.
"That's right," answered Star Tears decisively.
"Why do you have to do this?" asked Tan Xiu helplessly.
"You saved my life, so it's naturally not a problem for me to serve you for 5,000 years," said Star Tears. "But you must give me an explanation if you want them to be loyal to you."
Tan Xiu was silent for a moment and then slowly said, "Let's go back to the Misty Spring Ocean! I'll tell you my true identity after we return to the Misty Spring Ocean. However, I also need you to promise me a condition. "
"What condition?"
Apotheon Myriad Notes' expression shifted and he immediately asked.
"You've recovered your ability to move and your injuries have healed a lot," said Tan Xiu. "But you must not have any contact with your former acquaintances before I tell you my true identity. You must even stay in the Heavenly Abode artifact. "
"This …"
Apotheon Myriad Notes' group of four hesitated.
Star Tears took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I promise you on their behalf."
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "Let's enter the Heavenly Abode artifact now! We've just gone through a battle, especially Myriad Thunder Supreme's death. Zither Demon Jiuyao should have learned about it, so maybe he'll come here soon. That's why we need to leave as soon as possible. "
"We can't use the spatial teleportation array if we want to completely erase our traces," said Star Tears. "At the very least, we can't use the teleportation arrays in the three nearby Immortal Domains anymore."
"I understand," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile.
As Star Tears' group of five entered the Heavenly Abode artifact, Tan Xiu called Sablefiend Scorpio out and asked her to fly with him.
A year later.
Tan Xiu finally returned to the Misty Spring Ocean. A smile finally appeared on his handsome face when he saw Gu Yan 'er sitting cross-legged on the edge of the Repose Cliff.
"Yan 'er."
The soft call woke up Gu Yan 'er from her cultivation.
In a flash.
An excited look appeared on Gu Yan 'er's beautiful face. She flashed to Tan Xiu lightning-fast and plunged into his arms. With a bit of grievance, she said, "You're finally back, Master. You've been gone for more than a year this time. I missed you and was very worried about you. I don't want to be separated from you again. "
Tan Xiu gently patted her back and smilingly said, "Don't worry, Yan 'er! If it weren't for my bad luck, there wouldn't be many people in the entire Immortal World who could kill me now. "
Gu Yan 'er nodded vigorously. After releasing Tan Xiu, she hurriedly asked, "Did you … did you rescue the four of them?"
"I did," answered Tan Xiu with a faint smile.
"That's great!" Gu Yan 'er said excitedly. "Can I see them now, Master?"
Tan Xiu shifted to Sablefiend Scorpio and lightly said, "Enter the Heavenly Abode artifact first. I'll release you later to let you cultivate and live outside."
"Understood!"
After Sablefiend Scorpio entered the Heavenly Abode artifact, Tan Xiu called Star Tears, Apotheon Myriad Notes, Soaring Plumb, Nine Immortal Fingers, Enchantress Yu, and Apotheon Mu out of the artifact. As he led everyone into the cave residence inside Repose Cliff, his eyes shifted to the scroll painting hanging on the wall.
Star Tears' expression moved and she said, "We're back, and we're all waiting for your explanation."
Tang Xiu turned around and two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks. He recalled the time when he saw Star Tears in the Convict Arena and her miserable appearance. He also recalled the tragic scene of his four disciples being hung on the cliff of the Heavenly Mountain. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he knelt in front of Star Tears, took out her Soul Tablet from his body, and slowly handed it to her.
"You …"
A look of disbelief appeared on Star Tears' face. She never dreamed that this Great Tang Heavenly Emperor, who controlled her life and death, would actually kneel to her. She didn't expect that this mysterious Great Tang Heavenly Emperor would return her Soul Tablet to her.
"Why?"
Star Tears didn't take her Soul Tablet but stared at Tan Xiu in a daze and asked.
Tan Xiu's facial muscles moved and slowly adjusted to his former appearance. Then, he murmured, "Auntie Star Tears, this Xiu is unfilial and made you suffer so many hardships and sufferings. I didn't dare to recognize you so easily in order to hide my identity. "
Plop …
Gu Yan 'er and Apotheon Mu, who stood behind Tan Xiu, also knelt toward Star Tears.
Star Tears looked as though she was struck by lightning. Her whole body swayed a few times and she staggered back a few steps, looking at this familiar face with a dull expression. She didn't realize that her nails had dug deep into her flesh and blood was dripping from her fingers.
