The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Tan Yun said loudly, “Grandpa, Liu Boyi and Situ Tianlun bribed the steward to put poison in the wine.” “They intended to poison you and Father first, then wipe out the entire Tan family! Others thought to themselves, “Situ Tianlun and Liu Boyi are far too ruthless!” But faced with three great families that already held grudges against one another, everyone chose to remain silent, unwilling to get involved in this conflict. “Master Alchemist Bai, please uphold justice for my Tan family.” There w...
“Bang!”
With just a slight flick of his right hand, Tan Yun threw Tan Zizhong’s corpse out of the VIP hall.
“Yun’er, quickly tell Grandpa—what exactly happened?”
Tan Changchun’s expression changed drastically as he hurried to Tan Yun’s side.
Tan Feng and Feng Jingru, the husband and wife, looked at the spilled poisoned wine on the floor. A chill ran down their spines as they stared at Tan Yun, waiting for his answer.
Tan Yun said loudly,
“Grandpa, Liu Boyi and Situ Tianlun bribed the steward to put poison in the wine.”
“They intended to poison you and Father first, then wipe out the entire Tan family! Everything was for the sake of seizing our family’s wealth!”
His words were like a single stone thrown into a lake, creating thousands of waves.
Hundreds of clan leaders present at the banquet immediately fell into an uproar.
Some didn’t believe it.
Others thought to themselves, “Situ Tianlun and Liu Boyi are far too ruthless!”
But faced with three great families that already held grudges against one another, everyone chose to remain silent, unwilling to get involved in this conflict.
“How despicable!”
Tan Changchun roared, glaring fiercely at Liu Boyi and Situ Tianlun, his eyes blazing with anger.
“Shameless!”
“Hmph, what a ridiculous joke!”
Liu Boyi sneered.
“Your grandson ruined the engagement in front of everyone—that’s one thing. Now he even dares to kill someone to cover up his crime and frame us! Do you think I, Liu Boyi, am so easy to bully?!”
“Patriarch Liu is right!”
Situ Tianlun flicked his wrist, and a long sword instantly appeared in his hand.
He pointed the sword at Tan Changchun and shouted,
“A scholar may be killed, but he must not be insulted! Today I will wipe out the entire Tan family!”
The atmosphere grew tense, as if war was about to erupt.
Sweat formed on Tan Changchun’s forehead. He knew very well that if Situ Tianlun and Liu Boyi joined forces, he would surely die—and the Tan family would be destroyed.
“Father, we are no match for them. What should we do?”
Tan Feng, a 7th-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, looked pale with despair.
“Stay calm.”
Tan Changchun spoke in a low voice before turning toward an old man.
“Master Alchemist Bai, please uphold justice for my Tan family.”
There was no doubt that Bai Qiusheng, a 9th-level Nascent Soul Realm expert, was the only person capable of helping the Tan family.
“Master Alchemist Bai, this is a grudge between us and the Tan family. Please do not interfere.”
Liu Boyi and Situ Tianlun spoke at the same time.
All eyes turned toward Bai Qiusheng.
The entire hall fell silent. No one dared to speak.
Everyone thought the same thing—Bai Qiusheng would never offend two great families just for the sake of the Tan family.
And indeed, that seemed to be the case.
Bai Qiusheng slowly stood up and frowned at Tan Changchun.
“Elder Tan, I cannot yet determine who is right or wrong in this matter. Until the truth is known, I cannot help you.”
Before Tan Changchun could say anything—
Tan Yun suddenly stepped forward and bowed deeply.
“Senior Bai, I know you have long wished to successfully refine the Nascent Soul Spirit Pill. Coincidentally, I possess the pill formula and am willing to give it to you.”
“What?! You say you have the Nascent Soul Spirit Pill formula?!”
Bai Qiusheng was instantly overwhelmed with excitement.
His figure flashed like a white shadow and appeared in front of Tan Yun.
“Young Master Tan, quickly show it to me!”
The Nascent Soul Spirit Pill was a high-grade pill for cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm. It could increase one’s cultivation level.
Anyone who obtained this formula could, within three years, cultivate a large number of high-level experts.
Seeing Bai Qiusheng’s reaction, Situ Tianlun and Liu Boyi exchanged glances.
They immediately understood that Tan Yun intended to use the pill formula to pull Bai Qiusheng onto the Tan family’s side.
But after thinking for a moment, they relaxed.
Because they believed Tan Yun couldn’t possibly possess such a high-level formula.
If he truly had it, the Tan family would have dominated Wangyue City long ago.
“Yun’er, do you really have the pill formula?”
Tan Changchun, Tan Feng, and Feng Jingru asked excitedly.
“Yes.”
Tan Yun nodded before calmly speaking to Bai Qiusheng.
“I can give you the formula, but you must accept one condition.”
“Speak,” Bai Qiusheng said with a frown.
“I ask that you protect the Tan family for one month. After that, whether the Tan family lives or dies will have nothing to do with you.”
A sharp glint flashed in Tan Yun’s eyes.
He knew the pill formula alone wasn’t enough to make Bai Qiusheng become enemies with the two great families.
But protecting them for one month—that he would surely agree to.
And within that month, with the memories of tens of thousands of reincarnations, Tan Yun was confident he could grow strong enough to confront the two families.
Bai Qiusheng closed his eyes in thought for a moment before nodding.
“Agreed! If you truly have the formula, then anyone who wants to touch the Tan family must first step over my corpse!”
Tan Yun smiled faintly.
“Then I can rest assured. Senior Bai, do you have a blank jade slip?”
“I do.”
A flash of light came from Bai Qiusheng’s spatial ring, and he took out a jade slip and handed it over.
In front of everyone,
Tan Yun sent his spiritual power into the jade slip, filling it with densely packed characters before returning it.
Bai Qiusheng immediately examined it.
Soon, his eyes lit up with excitement.
“Hahaha! No wonder I failed to refine this pill for decades! It turns out I was missing three herbs and two additional steps!”
“Young Master Tan, I am deeply grateful!”
He bowed deeply to Tan Yun.
The entire hall erupted in an uproar.
“My heavens! Young Master Tan really has the pill formula!”
“How is that possible?!”
On the other hand, Situ Tianlun and Liu Boyi were both shocked and furious.
“Master Alchemist Bai, please examine it carefully. It might be a fake,” Liu Boyi said in a low voice.
Bai Qiusheng replied coldly,
“I can see clearly enough.”
Situ Tianlun gritted his teeth.
“So you truly intend to become enemies with our two families?”
Bai Qiusheng sneered.
“I am merely keeping my word. If you attack the Tan family, it means you wish to become my enemy!”
Liu Boyi sighed heavily.
“In that case, we will return in one month.”
After speaking, he took Liu Ruyan and left.
As Situ Tianlun passed by Tan Changchun, he growled,
“In one month, it will be the day the Tan family dies!”
Tan Changchun trembled with rage.
“I will be waiting!”
After the two left the Tan residence,
They immediately issued an order—
Within three days, five hundred guards were to loot and destroy every shop belonging to the Tan family in the city.
