Covering the Sky: The Years I Was the Empress's Strictest Master

Originally, there were five rhombuses and five cloud patterns. Now, only three rhombuses remain intact. A crack extends from the two missing rhombuses towards the center, making it look as if it might fall apart at any moment.

"What a little beast..."

Behind Shao Hanyun, the Great Sage Holding the Banner, who was hot on his heels, sneered when he saw Tan Lin's actions:

"Does he think he's wielding an imperial weapon...? No, that's not right, it's 'you'..."

But before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped.

His expression froze completely on his face.

Clearly, even during his time in Beidou, as a figure deeply rooted in the Daoist tradition who lived a secluded life for many years, he had never personally met Tan Lin.

However, he had heard about such a major event back then, and although he was in seclusion at the time, he had learned some of the details of the plan to use Shao Hanyun as bait to lure the Undying Golden Body into the sect.

Knowing that the indestructible golden body seemed to have a "close relationship" with Shao Hanyun...

Therefore, upon seeing the man and woman together, he seemed to have made a connection to something!

"He's Tan Lin!! Be careful of the bronze token he's holding..."

At the same time, warnings came from two other Great Sage cultivators who were encircling the area from afar.

Unfortunately, it's all too late.

Tan Lin ran his fingertips over the broken part of the bronze token and unhesitatingly injected a wisp of his divine soul energy into it.

hum...

The broken bronze token trembled slightly.

next interest.

Several years have passed, and a faint ray of light, much weaker and more elusive than when it was in the Central Plains of the Big Dipper, flowed out from the crack in the token, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Wow!

The moment that ray of light appeared.

Time and space here seem to have frozen simultaneously.

The destructive sonic waves shooting from both sides and the entangling starlight chains, even the ferocious and stiff expressions on the faces of the two Great Saints, all froze at this moment.

At this moment, the clear light spread like ripples on the water, gently "brushing" across.

Silently.

The Great Sage holding the Star Banner, along with the Star Banner in his hand, and the Great Sage who summoned the Bronze Divine Bell, along with the divine bell.

click...

In the starry sky, it sounded as if something was breaking inside their bodies.

The presence of the other two Great Sages in the distance was clearly visible; it was the sound of the Dao emanating from the cracked Immortal Platform.

Because soon, their own Sendai also cracked.

At this moment, the divine souls of the four Great Sages, whether in their physical bodies, flesh and blood, magical treasures, Dao artifacts, or anything else...

Every trace of their existence vanished completely under the "wiping" of this faint ray of moonlight, like an ink painting being erased by special means.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Everything vanished so silently.

Even that wisp of light, after completing its "mission," quietly dissipated into the starry sky.

rustling... rustling...

On the bronze token, another rhombus-shaped piece was missing, turning into dust and scattering with the "wind."

The crack in the center of the bronze token widened again, almost spreading to the entire token, as if it would shatter completely with the slightest breath.

……

Quiet.

silence.

At this moment, in the deathly silence of the starry sky,

Tan Lin put away the bronze token expressionlessly, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

But at this moment, all the cultivators in the entire Fallen God Sea region who witnessed this scene were momentarily "suffocated" before erupting in uproar!

"What...what is that?!"

"The four Great Sages wielding heavy weapons... are they really gone just like that?"

"My God! What level of treasure is that? Even the full-force attack of a fully awakened Supreme Emperor Weapon is nothing more than this!"

"Have you identified who that person is?"

"It's that indestructible golden body!!"

Legend has it that before he embarked on the ancient road, he had already slaughtered three Great Sage Elders of the Feathered Divine Dynasty with his peak Dao-Slaying cultivation!

Now it seems that what he relied on was that bronze token, right?!

"So that's how it is? No wonder this person has been sweeping all over the ancient road, and the protectors behind the geniuses and young supreme beings of all races have been very restrained and have not made a move against him..."

"Seeing him today, the bronze token in his hand is terrifying!"

This is even more terrifying than possessing an ultimate imperial weapon. After all, even with an imperial weapon, one can only unleash a portion of its power uncontrollably. But this bronze token is different; this person seems to wield it as if it were an extension of his own arm…”

Distant sky.

A sense of horror emanated from the fluctuations of divine thought, intertwining continuously.

Everyone's gaze toward this place was filled with apprehension.

Although the bronze token was damaged, it left an indelible and terrifying impression on the minds of all those who witnessed it.

After today, there will be another rumor about Tan Lin.

Whoosh!

Shao Hanyun had already flown to Tan Lin's side.

Her face was pale and her breath was weak, but her charming eyes were surprisingly bright, staring intently at Tan Lin as if trying to see right through him.

After the lingering fear and apprehension subsided like a tide, what welled up in her heart was an indescribable sense of relief, as well as a complex and inexplicable flutter of excitement.

The terror of that wisp of pale light transcended common sense.

Even though it wasn't directed at her, her primordial spirit still felt a shiver that went straight to her soul.

'Thankfully... I didn't actually force myself on him during our encounter at the Chi family's house, otherwise...'

As her thoughts raced, Shao Hanyun felt a chill of fear creeping into her heart.

Given the ease with which the other party effortlessly annihilated four Great Saints, and the methods and temperament they displayed, if I had forced them back then, my fate would have been absolutely miserable.

Perhaps if it were someone else, after experiencing this, their attitude towards Tan Lin would change drastically, and they might even become unlike themselves in front of him.

However, she is Shao Hanyun, and her state of mind is quite different from others.

After the initial shock subsided, the lingering fear only lasted for a moment.

Surprisingly, she didn't show much fear or hesitation towards Tan Lin.

She gracefully approached Tan Lin, her breath sweet as orchids, her eyes sparkling, and spoke in a voice that was both weak and magnetically alluring:

"Little man, I didn't expect you to still have a conscience..."

…………

Chapter 174 Chi Yao and Chi Xuan also heard about it.

"Han Yun really didn't expect to meet you here, and even more unexpectedly, you would step in and have the ability to save her..."

Shao Hanyun gently patted her chest, feigning shock:

"Han Yun was really scared just now. Those old guys have been chasing her for years, they're so annoying..."

As she spoke, she stared intently at Tan Lin, especially at his hand that had retracted the bronze token.

"It seems Han Yun was right about you. You really aren't an ingrate..."

Her tone carried a hint of teasing, yet also a subtle undercurrent of seriousness and probing:

"Let me guess, you didn't find out about my dangerous situation from somewhere and came all this way to help me out, did you?"

If that's the case, then it wasn't in vain that Han Yun gave herself to you back then. Tell me... how should Han Yun thank you for saving her life...?

As she spoke, her warm breath and fragrant scent touched Tan Lin's face.

A delicate fragrance, like orchids and musk, wafted into her nostrils, but Tan Lin slightly turned aside, avoiding her close proximity, his tone calm and even:

"This encounter was merely a coincidence. Your injuries are quite severe, and it is not advisable for you to linger here."

This wasn't the first time the two had dealt with each other. He was already used to Shao Hanyun's flirting and knew that the emotions in her words were half true and half false, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

The Chi family and the events that occurred in the Northern Divine City were actually well aware of each other's situation.

Some people are still pretending to be confused, while others see through it but don't say anything. After all, the "relationship" between the two is really subtle and difficult to define.

Seeing his cold demeanor, Shao Hanyun wasn't annoyed. Instead, she chuckled, her eyes becoming even more alluring.

"Young Master Tan is still as serious as ever, but Han Yun happens to enjoy seeing this side of you..."

At this point, she noticed that all the divine senses that had been peering in from around her had now faded away, and she changed the subject:

"If you leave here, where will you go next? I'm injured now, and as my 'Daoist partner,' you can't just leave me behind and run away alone..."

She emphasized the words "Daoist companion" in her tone.

Tan Lin simply couldn't be bothered to continue rambling on with him.

Wow!

Without another word, he released a surge of golden blood energy, which enveloped Shao Hanyun's figure. The two transformed into a streak of light and vanished from their spot in an instant.

…………

At the same time.

Deep in the universe, there is a relatively peaceful area called "Liuyun Ancient Road" on the ancient road of all races.

Two graceful figures, each wearing a bamboo hat and a thin veil, arrived at this place with an ethereal air. They eventually entered an ancient post station that floated in the starry sky for a short rest.

The inn was converted from a massive piece of star debris, and its style is rugged.

The cultivators coming and going were of all kinds, and the air was filled with various foreign languages ​​and a mixed atmosphere.

Half a day later.

On the seventh floor of the inn, perhaps the guest in this room at the end of the corridor was feeling too depressed, so he pushed open the window from the inside.

crunch...

This attracted the attention of some cultivators who were entering and leaving the post station, who subconsciously glanced at it.

But many of them couldn't look away after that first glance.

Behind the window, stood two stunningly beautiful women, their natural elegance and refined demeanor suggesting they had descended from a celestial realm.

The conical hats and veils that had previously adorned their heads have now been removed, revealing their breathtakingly beautiful faces.

Most importantly, although their temperament, eyebrows, and expressions are somewhat different, they look exactly the same!

This discovery undoubtedly aroused the curiosity of some exceptional individuals.

Unfortunately, the window lattice was only open for a few breaths.

Immediately, the woman in the pale yellow dress who had opened the window was pulled away by another fairy-like woman in white with a refined and elegant demeanor, who then closed the window, blocking the gazes that were quietly gathering from the outside world.

shuh...

In an instant, the eyes of everyone present were filled with regret.

however.

Before some people could be disappointed for long, the two stunningly beautiful women, whose beauty was breathtaking, slowly descended from upstairs and reappeared in everyone's sight.

But by this time, they had already put on their straw hats and veils again.
