The Supreme Being Against Heaven

Thinking of his great-grandchild’s death, and seeing Tan Yun guiding Zhong Wushiyao to choose the Weapon lineage instead of the Holy Soul lineage, the Holy Soul elder’s expression instantly darkened as he roared:

“Tan Yun! I can see that Wushiyao trusts you deeply, yet you are guiding her to abandon the Holy Soul lineage and choose the Weapon lineage instead—what exactly are your intentions!”

“I have already said that Changkong’s death was not your fault. Or are you still holding a grudge? Do not be selfish and mislead Wushiyao into making the wrong decision, ruining her future!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Elder Murong’s eyes as she stared at the Holy Soul elder.

“Holy Soul Head, what do you mean by that? Saying that joining my lineage would ruin Wushiyao’s future—you should watch your words!”

Before the Holy Soul elder could respond, Elder Bingqing cast a cold glance at Tan Yun and Elder Murong, then turned anxiously toward Zhong Wushiyao.

“Wushiyao, choosing a cultivation path determines your future. You cannot entrust it to an outsider. Listen to me—join the Pill lineage!”

“That’s right, Wushiyao, don’t believe Tan Yun’s words!” the Talisman lineage elder said gently, his eyes full of kindness.
“Come to the Talisman lineage. I will treat you like my own granddaughter and pass on everything I know to you!”

The Qiankun lineage elder also spoke reasonably:

“Wushiyao, think about it. You possess a Space Embryo Soul. In the future, you will be able to set up countless spatial killing arrays.”

“With such talent, no one else but you can achieve this!”

“Moreover, within spatial arrays, you can control various powerful beasts and turn them into array spirits!”

“Wushiyao, if you do not join my Array lineage, that would truly be a waste! Come, join my lineage!”

At this moment, the Qiankun lineage elder, the Talisman lineage elder, the Holy Soul elder, and Elder Bingqing were all competing fiercely for Zhong Wushiyao.

Meanwhile, Elder Murong glanced at Tan Yun as if understanding something. A flash of insight appeared in her eyes before she turned to Zhong Wushiyao, who was still hesitating, and said with a smile:

“Wushiyao, you truly have good judgment to have found a cultivation partner like Tan Yun. You should trust his words—come, become my disciple.”

Zhong Wushiyao blushed slightly and said shyly:

“You misunderstand… Tan Yun is not my cultivation partner, but the future fiancé of Senior Sister Mu.”

Hearing this, Mu Mengyi—who knew well that Zhong Wushiyao had feelings for Tan Yun—felt even more that Wushiyao had a kind and noble heart.

“Elder Murong, did you hear that? Tan Yun is not Wushiyao’s cultivation partner at all,” Elder Bingqing sneered, then turned to Zhong Wushiyao again.

“Wushiyao, what does Tan Yun know? You cannot entrust your future to him. No matter what, you cannot become his disciple!”

At that moment, Zhong Wushiyao slowly withdrew her right hand from Elder Bingqing’s jade-like hand, then knelt before the 5 chief figures.

“This disciple thanks all the lineage heads for your kindness.”

“But I have already made my decision—I will join the Weapon lineage.”

“This matter has nothing to do with Tan Yun. I ask all the lineage heads not to blame him.”

After speaking, she turned and knelt toward Elder Murong, kowtowing 3 times.

“Disciple greets Master!”

“Good! Very good, my dear disciple, quickly rise,” Elder Murong smiled gently. Though she did not show her teeth, anyone could feel her excitement.

She leaned forward to help Zhong Wushiyao up, her beautiful face resembling that of an immortal.

“My dear disciple, from now on, you are my one and only closed-door disciple.”

“Moreover, I have long heard that you are 1 of the 4 great beauties of the outer sect. Now that I see you in person, I know the reputation is well deserved.”

“Thank you for your praise, Master,” Zhong Wushiyao said shyly.
“In this disciple’s eyes, Master is the most beautiful.”

“Haha, my dear disciple, such a sweet tongue. Come, follow me.”

Elder Murong extended her slender hand, took Zhong Wushiyao’s hand, and led her back to her seat under the envious gazes of the other 8 chief figures.

Zhong Wushiyao stood beside Elder Murong, feeling both grateful and respectful, listening attentively to every word of her master without distraction.

While speaking with her, Elder Murong would occasionally glance at Elder Bingqing. That teasing and arrogant look caused Bingqing’s delicate body to tremble slightly with anger.

At this moment, it was not only Elder Bingqing who hated Tan Yun to the bone—even the Talisman lineage elder, the Qiankun lineage elder, and the Holy Soul elder felt the same.

Especially the Holy Soul elder—he firmly believed that if Tan Yun had not killed his great-grandchild and had not ruined his reputation—

Zhong Wushiyao would definitely have chosen the Holy Soul lineage!

“Tan Yun, you damned brat! I swear, once you enter the inner sect, I will make you die a miserable death!”

After suppressing the killing intent deep within his heart, the Holy Soul elder calmed his anger and turned to look at Mu Mengyi.

“Speak. What is your talent?”

Recalling how the other party had once acted against Tan Yun, Mu Mengyi suppressed her anger and replied politely:

“Reporting to the lineage head, this disciple Mu Mengyi possesses a Death Embryo Soul and a Beast Embryo Soul.”

“What?! Both a Death Soul and a Beast Soul!” The Holy Soul elder’s aged body trembled violently.

However, before he could examine her—

The Beast Soul elder, who had been seated, suddenly vanished and appeared in front of Mu Mengyi in an instant, his hands trembling uncontrollably with excitement.

Just moments ago, he had been envious that Elder Murong had obtained a disciple with talent comparable to a “quasi-dual soul.”

But he had never expected—

That now a “true dual-soul genius” would appear right before him!

Moreover, this disciple also possessed a Beast Embryo Soul!

That meant—

There was at least a 50% chance she would choose his Beast Soul lineage!

Even if there were only a 10% chance, he would never let her go—let alone 50%!

“Little girl, don’t move. Let me examine you,” the Beast Soul elder said gently, like a grandfather speaking to his granddaughter.

“This disciple accepts,” Mu Mengyi replied, then relaxed her mind, allowing the other party’s spiritual sense to enter her soul.

The Talisman lineage elder, the Qiankun lineage elder, the Holy Soul elder, and Elder Bingqing all stared intently at Mu Mengyi.

In their hearts, they had already decided—

If Mu Mengyi truly possessed a Beast Soul or a Death Soul, they would seize her no matter the cost!

Meanwhile, Elder Murong, who had been seated, did not immediately stand. She pulled Zhong Wushiyao closer, a glint flashing in her eyes as she whispered softly:

“Wushiyao, earlier I heard you call Mengyi ‘Senior Sister Mu.’ It seems you are quite close. In that case, could you persuade her to become a disciple alongside you?”

Zhong Wushiyao replied respectfully:

“Master, although Senior Sister Mu and I are as close as sisters, I cannot interfere in her choice of master.”

“Mmm.” Elder Murong nodded slightly in understanding before asking further:

“By the way, you said Mengyi is Tan Yun’s fiancée. Do you know what kind of talent Tan Yun possesses?”

Zhong Wushiyao answered truthfully:

“Master, Tan Yun’s talent is certainly extraordinary, but I do not know what type of embryonic soul he has.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Murong slowly stood up and walked toward Mu Mengyi.

At the same time—

After withdrawing his spiritual sense from Mu Mengyi’s soul, the Beast Soul elder’s wrinkled face revealed deep shock.

“As expected… the Death Embryo Soul and the Beast Embryo Soul coexist within the same body!”

“I have lived for more than 400 years and seen countless dual-soul geniuses… but someone with both a Beast Soul and a Death Soul in one body—this is the first time I have encountered such a person!”

“A genius… truly a genius!”
