The Supreme Being Against Heaven

Of course—

Pang Shiyuan had once considered cutting off the legs of a corpse… and grafting them onto his disciple, Sun Anbei.

However—

Considering that in the martial arena, before countless witnesses,

Tan Yun had already “crippled both legs” of Sun Anbei—

If Sun Anbei’s legs were to suddenly become “intact” again,

It would inevitably be exposed that—

Those legs came from “someone else”!

Such a brutal act—

Pang Shiyuan did not dare risk performing it on Sun Anbei,

For fear that the truth would be uncovered!

—

“Brother Lu… do you think this time, summoning everyone…”

“Is because the Sect Master learned about Tan Yun being injured… and the destruction of the martial arena?”

Pang Shiyuan asked in a trembling voice, filled with fear.

At this moment—

The two still did not know that Tan Yun was “dead.”

“It must be because of this,”

Lu Wu said with a dark expression, clearly displeased.

“I’ll be honest with you, Brother Pang… just to kill one Tan Yun—”

“You’ve blown this matter up to such a massive scale!”

“Look, now you’ve even alarmed Shen Subing!”

He frowned deeply.

“Anyone with eyes can see—damage of this level…”

“Must have been caused by an expert in the Soul Refining Realm!”

—

Hearing this—

Pang Shiyuan became even more terrified!

“Brother Lu, I can’t go out in this condition!”

“If anyone sees that I’m injured, they’ll definitely investigate me!”

“And you might get dragged into it as well!”

Lu Wu pondered for a moment before speaking in a low voice:

“In that case… do this—”

“I’ll go to the martial arena in your place.”

“If Shen Subing asks about you, I’ll handle it.”

“For safety, you should lie low for now!”

“Good, good! Thank you, Brother Lu!”

Pang Shiyuan nodded frantically in agreement.

—

5 hours later—

The sun was setting, nearing the horizon.

At the devastated martial arena—

More than 60,000 disciples had arrived,

All kneeling on the ground,

Looking up toward—

Shen Subing,

Who stood tall atop the “Supreme Mustard Seed Space-Time Pagoda.”

Her graceful figure—

Radiated intense killing intent!

Before the disciples—

Except for Pang Shiyuan, who was absent,

The other 10 elders and 80 deacons

Stood respectfully, looking up at her.

A heavy atmosphere pressed upon everyone’s hearts.

The entire arena was silent—

Except for the howling mountain winds…

—

Shen Subing was as cold as ice.

She looked down at the elders before her and spoke sharply:

“Where is Elder 3?”

Lu Wu stepped forward slightly.

“Reporting to Sect Master, Elder 3 has gone to the Immortal Sect’s alchemy lineage to visit his son—Pang Tong.”

Shen Wende let out a cold snort.

“Elder 12, why would Elder 3 choose to leave at such a time?”

His tone carried obvious sarcasm!

—

In Shen Wende’s heart—

He strongly suspected that either “Lu Wu” or “Pang Shiyuan” was the one who killed Tan Yun!

Because from last night’s investigation—

Just yesterday, Tan Yun had crippled Sun Anbei’s legs and humiliated Pang Shiyuan severely!

This matter—

He had already reported to Shen Subing.

And her primary suspects—

Were precisely “Lu Wu” and “Pang Shiyuan”!

—

“Elder 6, I am answering the Sect Master’s question,”

Lu Wu said with a cold smile, feigning composure.

“The Sect Master has not yet spoken—”

“Is it your place to interrupt?”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, then struck sharply:

“Or… Elder 6, are you trying to seize the position of Sect Master in front of everyone?”

“If not—who are you to question me?”

With just one sentence—

Shen Wende’s face flushed red with humiliation!

“You—!”

He was about to retort—

But—

“Enough!”

Shen Subing cut him off immediately.

“Wende, I am the one questioning—do not interrupt!”

“Yes, Sect Master!”

Shen Wende quickly responded respectfully.

In front of so many people—

He naturally did not dare call her “Miss.”

—

Shen Subing turned to look at Lu Wu,

Her gaze icy cold.

“Elder 12, how do you know that Elder 3 went to the Immortal Sect’s alchemy lineage?”

“And when did he depart?”

—

In Lu Wu’s heart—

A chill ran through him!

“This girl… she must know about the conflict between Elder 3 and Tan Yun yesterday!”

“She’s trying to trap me into making a mistake!”

“Hmph… you think I’ll slip up? Impossible!”

He thought to himself, then bowed and replied calmly:

“Reporting to Sect Master—”

“Yesterday at sunset, Elder 3 came to see me.”

“His son, Pang Tong, is a disciple of my father.”

“So he asked me to speak favorably on his behalf to my father.”

“After a brief conversation—Elder 3 departed for the Immortal Sect.”

“Of course, if Sect Master does not believe me…”

“You may personally verify it with my father.”

—

Hearing this—

Shen Subing spoke calmly:

“There is no need to verify.”

“I only asked about Elder 3’s whereabouts.”

“Since he has already gone to the Immortal Sect…”

“We will not wait for him.”

Shen Subing had no intention of verifying the truth of those words.

Because whether true or false—

It no longer “mattered.”

If it were false—

Lu Wu would have already informed his father in advance.

Even if she investigated—

The other party would still confirm that “Pang Shiyuan had indeed gone”!

Shen Subing swept her gaze across everyone below—

Before speaking her first sentence—

A sentence that made the entire martial arena “tremble”!

“The reason I summoned all of you today…”

Her voice carried a chilling killing intent,

“Is because of what happened at the final moments of midnight!”

“Tan Yun was cultivating inside Mid-Grade Mustard Seed Space-Time Pagoda No. 678…”

“But he was assassinated!”

“After escaping back to Changling Immortal Mountain—he… died!”

—

The news of Tan Yun’s death—

Was like a “thunderbolt striking the crowd”!

The entire arena instantly erupted into an uproar!

“What!? Senior Brother Tan is dead!?”

“How is that possible!? Senior Brother Tan was one of the top experts on our Alchemy Battle Rankings!”

“What a pity! If he hadn’t died young, he would have surely become No. 1 on the Hidden Dragon List!”

“Sigh…”

—

While the disciples continued their heated discussions—

Lu Wu froze for a moment,

Before his heart became “filled with joy”!

He already knew from Pang Shiyuan—

That when Tan Yun escaped, his body had been nearly destroyed.

Originally, he thought Tan Yun might have “barely survived.”

But now—

With confirmation of his death!

If not for the presence of so many people—

He would have already burst into loud laughter!

—

“Sect Master, I still find it hard to believe that a genius of our alchemy lineage would die like this…”

Elder 2, Du Chen, shook his head and sighed.

Deep down, he also regretted the “Xuanqing Flame” he had once given to Tan Yun.

—

“Sect Master…”

Luo Fan knelt down, his face filled with sorrow.

“I request permission to pay respects to Tan Yun’s body!”

“This disciple also wishes to offer incense!” Song Hong said.

“Sect Master, we also wish to send off Senior Brother Tan!”

Most of the disciples spoke in unison.

—

Shen Subing raised her hand, signaling for silence,

Then let out a soft sigh.

“He has been buried on Changling Immortal Mountain.”

“Those who wish to go… may go.”

—

After speaking—

She swept her gaze across the elders and deacons of the Soul Refining Realm.

Her eyes grew colder with each passing moment!

“I know very well… who Tan Yun had conflicts with!”

“I will find the murderer!”

“And execute them in public!”

—

Her voice was as sharp as a blade!

“No matter who you are!”

“No matter what your background is!”

“There is only one ending—death!”

“There will be no escape!”

—

She paused briefly, then spoke in an even colder tone:

“And I hope…”

“That the murderer… is not someone from our alchemy lineage!”

“If that is the case…”

“To kill a disciple who created a legend—who climbed a 108-story tower!”

“That person will become an ‘eternal sinner’ of the alchemy lineage!”

—

After finishing—

Shen Subing turned to Shen Wende.

“I leave the reconstruction of the martial arena to you.”

“Once you calculate the amount of spirit stones needed, withdraw them from the treasury.”

“This subordinate obeys!”

Shen Wende replied respectfully.

But at that moment—

Shen Subing, filled with killing intent,

Had already flown away from the arena!

—

…

2 hours later—

After confirming no one was following him—

Lu Wu arrived at Pangtao Immortal Mountain,

Met with Pang Shiyuan, who was in hiding,

And informed him of “Tan Yun’s death.”

The two of them—

Were “overjoyed beyond restraint”!

—

Over the next 2 weeks—

A large number of disciples flocked to Changling Immortal Mountain,

To pay respects at Tan Yun’s grave.

The death of a genius—

Left everyone who came to mourn

Filled with sorrow…
