The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
But he refused and insulted me again.” “To be honest—at that time, I really wanted to kill him.” “But since he hadn’t made a move first, according to sect rules, I had no chance to act… am I right?” “So, I deliberately ‘warned’ him— to report his secret hoarding of spirit stones to the higher authorities.” “I even told him that it was a serious offense, one that could lead to his cultivation being crippled and expulsion from the sect!” The moment he heard this— Qiu Yongming’s face turned livid w...
“You… you still dare to insult this Elder…?!”
Qiu Yongming’s face flushed red with fury, but before he could erupt—
a cold voice interrupted.
“Elder Qiu, Qingfeng is not wrong.”
The one who spoke was Shen Suping, who had just stepped out of Bingqing Hall.
“If Tan Yun is guilty, our Alchemy Line will not protect him in the slightest.”
“But while the truth is still unclear, you chose to strike first—
is that not a show of disrespect toward my Alchemy Line?”
Dressed in a long, gold-embroidered gown, she stood gracefully before Shen Qingfeng, her cold gaze fixed firmly on Qiu Yongming without the slightest retreat.
However—
she was not standing for Tan Yun.
She was standing for Shen Qingfeng!
Deep in her heart… she hated Tan Yun to the extreme!
Even if he were innocent—because of him alone, the Alchemy Line had been thrown into chaos by the Law Enforcement disciples and the Soul-Sniffing Beast!
“Good… very good!”
Qiu Yongming stared fiercely at Shen Suping, his tone rigid and leaving no room for argument.
“Palace Master Bingqing, Shen Qingfeng—step aside! I will interrogate Tan Yun according to the rules!”
Shen Suping never intended to become enemies with Qiu Yongming from the start.
After all, he was the chief disciple of the Head of the Law Enforcement Division of the outer sect!
But she also knew—
today, their relationship had already been severed!
She turned to look at Tan Yun coldly, her eyes filled with disdain and hatred.
Then she took a deep breath and stepped aside about 3 zhang to the left.
Shen Qingfeng glared at Tan Yun.
“You brat… always courting trouble!”
After speaking, he stood quietly behind Shen Suping.
“Speak!”
Qiu Yongming flashed before Tan Yun in an instant, nearly roaring:
“Why did you kill the Law Enforcement disciple—Qiu Qilin?!”
If looks could kill—
Tan Yun would have died 100 times already!
In Qiu Yongming’s heart, he wished nothing more than to strangle the “lowly servant” before him—
the one who had caused him to lose his only heir!
Tan Yun remained calm and composed as he spoke evenly:
“Reporting to the Law Enforcement Elder, that day I went to Huangfu City.”
“That Qiu Qilin—he insulted me first and even extorted 1 mid-grade spirit stone from me.”
“When I left the city gates, I was still angry, so I went back to demand the spirit stone. But he refused and insulted me again.”
“To be honest—at that time, I really wanted to kill him.”
“But since he hadn’t made a move first, according to sect rules, I had no chance to act… am I right?”
“So, I deliberately ‘warned’ him—
to report his secret hoarding of spirit stones to the higher authorities.”
“I even told him that it was a serious offense, one that could lead to his cultivation being crippled and expulsion from the sect!”
The moment he heard this—
Qiu Yongming’s face turned livid with rage!
He knew his son’s character well—
afraid of his crimes being exposed!
And having been spoiled by him—
he would definitely choose to kill to silence!
But all of this—
was a trap set by Tan Yun to kill his son!
And he understood even more clearly—
these words were deliberately provoking him to fury!
“Tan Yun! You are despicable!”
The roar thundered like a bolt of lightning!
Tan Yun remained completely unfazed. He smiled faintly and continued:
“After that, seeing no one around, Qiu Qilin ordered 20 Law Enforcement disciples to kill me and bury my body.”
“Law Enforcement Elder, when I heard that, I actually laughed—
because I was going to kill those 20 people first!”
“But I didn’t rush to kill him at that moment… because there were still another 36 people from other factions who also wanted to kill me.”
“So, I used a reverse strategy—
pretending to flee from the city… or more accurately, ‘luring’ them to chase me.”
“Then, they joined forces to attack me—
which suited me perfectly.”
“So I… killed them all.”
“The scene of their deaths… was truly horrifying.”
After finishing—
Tan Yun gave Qiu Yongming a deep bow, his demeanor respectful to the extreme.
“Everything I have said is the absolute truth.”
“To help Elder believe me, I can condense my memory into an image for you to personally see how I killed them.”
“You… you…!”
Qiu Yongming was so furious his vision darkened.
“You are ruthless! You deliberately orchestrated all this to kill my son!”
Pfft!
His body trembled as fresh blood spurted from his mouth!
At that moment—
Shen Qingfeng chuckled lightly and tossed something to Tan Yun.
“Tan Yun, I have a ‘Soul Memory Stone’ here.”
“Use it—your condensed memory images will become even clearer!”
The stone was about the size of a walnut, crystal clear throughout—
emanating a faint, mysterious glow…
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”
Qiu Yongming spat out 3 mouthfuls of blood in succession!
His gaze locked onto Tan Yun as he gritted his teeth, speaking word by word:
“No need… this Elder believes you!”
“Thank you, Law Enforcement Elder, for your trust. I am deeply grateful.”
Tan Yun bowed respectfully—
yet the sarcasm in his tone nearly made Qiu Yongming spit blood again!
Fury intertwined with grief—
made him seem to age several decades in a single instant!
He almost wanted to abandon his position as an Elder and kill Tan Yun to avenge his son!
But he knew very well—
in front of Shen Suping and Shen Qingfeng… he could not make a move!
“Law Enforcement Elder, I heard that you wanted to see me over 1 hour ago, so I came immediately.”
Tan Yun glanced at the 21 Law Enforcement disciples lying gravely injured on the ground,
then spoke with a displeased tone:
“But they insulted and cursed at me. Not only that—they even tried to stop me from meeting you!”
“They not only humiliated me, but also attempted to block me from coming to see you respectfully—”
“So, I simply taught these useless people a lesson… and injured them a bit.”
Before he could finish—
“Enough!”
Qiu Yongming roared loudly!
He turned around, waved his hand to summon a spirit boat,
and with a flick of his right arm—21 strands of spiritual energy wrapped around the 21 disciples, throwing them onto the boat!
Whoosh!
His figure shot up onto the spirit boat—
but at that very moment,
Tan Yun’s voice suddenly turned ice-cold:
“Law Enforcement Elder, I still have one more matter to ask you.”
“If this matter reaches the Sect Master… I’m afraid your life may not be safe.”
Qiu Yongming clenched his fists tightly, grinding his teeth.
“You… speak!”
Tan Yun smiled faintly before saying:
“On my first day as an inner sect disciple, while passing through the mountain gate, I met 2 Law Enforcement disciples—Yang Fei and Xu Gang.”
“They told me that—because I killed ‘Qiu Yongchong,’ an outer sect Law Enforcement Elder…”
“you ordered all inner sect Law Enforcement disciples to find opportunities to ‘eliminate me’ in order to avenge Qiu Yongchong!”
“Nonsense!” Qiu Yongming roared!
Tan Yun nodded slightly.
“I also thought it was nonsense.”
“You are a dignified Law Enforcement Elder of the inner sect—how could you possibly order all disciples to kill me?”
“Elder… would you like to review the memories of those 2 disciples again?”
Qiu Yongming snorted coldly.
“No need. I will investigate it myself!”
“If what you said is true—they slandered me… they deserve death!”
As his words fell—
the spirit boat shot into the sky!
And in midair—
a spray of blood scattered!
Everyone knew—
that blood… came from Qiu Yongming’s mouth!
“Hahaha!”
Shen Qingfeng burst into loud laughter.
“This brat only used a few words and almost angered that old man to death!”
“Is it that funny?”
Shen Suping turned and glared at him coldly.
Shen Qingfeng immediately shut his mouth!
Shen Suping then turned to Tan Yun,
her gaze as cold as ice.
“I will warn you of one thing.”
“If you do not yet possess sufficient strength—do not act so arrogantly.”
“Otherwise… you will not live long.”
Tan Yun bowed.
“Thank you, Palace Master, for your guidance.”
“No need to thank me,” Shen Suping replied coldly.
“If your life were not tied to Qingqiu… you—”
Before she could finish—
a furious and domineering voice descended from the sky!
“Palace Master Bingqing—have the 4 types of spirit herbs been prepared?”
In the next moment—
an old man appeared midair above the mountain peak.
It was Zhou Wuyun, the 3rd Elder of the outer sect’s Alchemy Line!
His gaze swept over Shen Suping’s graceful figure—
a lecherous glint flashing openly in his eyes!
“3rd Elder… aren’t there still 5 days left before the deadline to deliver the herbs?”
Shen Suping gave a slight bow, her brows tightly furrowed.
Deep down…
she wished she could kill this lecherous old man—who had harassed her again and again—with her own hands!
