At the same time—
Lu Wu personally went to inform Qiu Yongming, the Enforcement Elder, of Tan Yun’s death.
Originally—
The two had agreed that if Lu Wu successfully killed Tan Yun,
Qiu Yongming would reward him with a “Low-Grade Lightning-Attribute Flying Sword.”
But—
After seeing Shen Subing’s determination to find the murderer,
Lu Wu quickly claimed that—
Tan Yun’s death “had nothing to do with him,”
And refused to accept the flying sword!
—
Over the past half month—
The top inner disciples had all learned the news—
Both of Tan Yun’s death,
And that more than 3 months ago, he had climbed to the “108th floor” of the Supreme Mustard Seed Space-Time Pagoda!
The “8 elite disciples” were all shocked—
They realized they had “misjudged” him!
Tan Yun was not trash—
But a “heaven-defying genius”!
After that—
The 8 of them instead felt “pleased”!
In the future—
Every time they met Shen Subing,
They would have something to “mock” her with!
A disciple this powerful—
Had actually died inside the “space-time pagoda” that the alchemy lineage boasted was the “safest place”!
—
Among the 8 elite disciples—
The one who was “most delighted” upon hearing of Tan Yun’s death—
Was the “Holy Soul Daoist,” the great-grandfather of Linghu Changkong!
Although he had not personally killed Tan Yun to avenge his grandson—
In the end—
Tan Yun was still dead!
—
Next—
Were the “Five Souls Daoist,” the “Beast Soul Daoist,” and Daoist Murong.
The Five Souls Daoist—
Had long noticed that his beloved disciple, Xue Ziyan, who was in seclusion,
Although she often called Tan Yun “brother-in-law,”
In truth—
She had feelings for him!
Now that Tan Yun was dead—
He planned to “keep the fortune within the family,”
By betrothing Xue Ziyan to his own grandson!
—
As for the Beast Soul Daoist—
He had only one disciple: Mu Mengyi.
After she entered the Beast Soul lineage—
He immediately had her enter seclusion and grew more fond of her each day.
His beloved son—
Was the No. 1 genius of the Beast Soul lineage among the inner disciples.
Originally—
He had long wanted Mu Mengyi to be engaged to his son.
But because she was known to be Tan Yun’s fiancée—
He could not force it.
But now—
Tan Yun was dead!
So he could “rightfully arrange the marriage” once she emerged from seclusion!

Murong Immortal Mountain
Murong Immortal Hall
Daoist Murong let out a cold snort.
“Good that Tan Yun is dead.”
“Now he won’t be thinking of seducing my disciple—Siyao!”
“Siyao is a daughter of heaven…”
“In the future, she must become a pillar of my Qi lineage!”
“If she were lured into the alchemy lineage by Tan Yun…”
“That would be the real disaster!”
—
While the top figures of each faction were calculating in their hearts—
Murong Hong, Elder 2 of the Beast Soul lineage—
Flew into a rage every time he thought of
His only grandson, Mu Rongkun, who had been killed by Tan Yun!
When he heard the news of Tan Yun’s death—
He drank like a madman!
Like someone deranged—
Standing atop the mountain, shouting his grandson’s name!
—
Night fell into a hazy stillness.
Stars shimmered.
Moonlight dimmed softly.
Fireflies flickered across the sky.
—
Changling Immortal Mountain
“We don’t welcome you here! Get lost!”
“Scram! We don’t want you mourning Senior Brother Tan!”
“That’s right! Get out!”
—
On the mountain peak—
Beside Tan Yun’s grave—
Da Niu and more than 10 herb garden disciples
Glared fiercely at a white-robed young man approaching slowly.
Their eyes were filled with hatred!
The white-robed youth—
Held a folding fan, waving it lightly,
His chin raised arrogantly—
Utterly repulsive!
He—
Was Pang He,
Who had once had his limbs “crippled” by Tan Yun 2 times!
Behind him—
Were the same 10 lackeys who used to bully others by relying on power!
—
“Heh heh… you trash servants, itching for a beating?”
Pang He sneered,
Then shouted:
“I’ve come to ‘offer incense’ to Tan Yun!”
“You dare block me? Get lost!”
—
“What… are you trying to do!”
Da Niu gritted his teeth and spoke bravely:
“When Senior Brother Tan was alive, you didn’t dare show your face!”
“Now that he’s dead, you come here—what does that mean!?”
“And besides!”
“The Sect Master said no one is allowed to harm herb garden disciples!”
“Do you dare act!?”
—
Hearing this—
Pang He’s expression shifted slightly,
But he still sneered wickedly:
“I’m just here to burn incense and leave.”
“If you still dare block me…”
“Don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”
—
“Move aside!” the 10 lackeys shouted in unison.
Da Niu and the others—
Could only step back unwillingly.
—
Pang He walked straight to Tan Yun’s grave,
Then crouched down,
And spoke mockingly:
“Tan Yun… oh Tan Yun…”
“Weren’t you so impressive before?”
“Weren’t you arrogant enough to cripple me 2 times?”
“Pah!”
He spat on the ground.
“If you were really capable… why did you die?”
“If you’ve got the guts, crawl out and hit me again! Hahaha!”
—
“You piece of trash!”
“Dare to lay a hand on me!”
“Let me tell you—if you weren’t dead…”
“I’d cripple you another 2 times with my own hands!”
—
“You really deserved to die!”
“Pah!”
Pang He spat onto the grave 3 more times before standing up.
He looked at Da Niu and the others with disdain, sneering:
“Tan Yun is a perfect example!”
“The more arrogant you are—the faster you die!”
“Let’s go!”
Pang He led his 10 lackeys down the mountain peak arrogantly.
Then, stepping onto their flying swords, they shot through the night sky—
Heading toward a cave 50,000 li away…
—
Inside the dark coffin—
Tan Yun—
Had fully recovered, his body now “completely restored” after 15 days of recuperation!
And just moments ago—
He had heard every single word Pang He said… clearly!
“I’ll start with you… I’ll personally send you to hell!”
Tan Yun sneered inwardly.
Suddenly—
He clasped both hands together, thrust them beneath the coffin—
And slammed the coffin downward with force!
—
“BOOM!”
His body spun violently like a top!
Drilling vertically through the earth for several hundred zhang—
Before shifting to horizontal movement for several thousand zhang!
Then—
Whoosh!
Tan Yun burst out from the mountain—
Like a cannonball!
—
“Primordial Divine Step!”
Under the night sky—
Tan Yun’s figure became ghost-like,
Vanishing in an instant!
He sped after Pang He and the other 11 people,
Who were 200 li ahead in midair!
—
After crossing a distance of 3,000 zhang—
Tan Yun immediately donned the “Turtle Breath Ice Armor”!
He summoned his flying sword—
And used his spiritual sense to precisely “lock onto” all 11 targets!
Then—
He began a silent pursuit!
—
Half a shichen later—
When the 11 had flown 3,000 li away from Changling Immortal Mountain—
Suddenly—
Tan Yun “appeared” right in front of them!
With a flick of his wrist—
10 streams of sword light erupted simultaneously!
—
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Blood sprayed into the air!
10 heads were severed instantly!
Their headless bodies fell from their flying swords!
—
“AAAH—who are—!”
Pang He’s scream was cut short—
As his throat was tightly “gripped”!
—
“Trash… open your eyes and see clearly who your grandfather is!”
A cold voice rang out.
Tan Yun removed his face covering!
—
“Y-you… you’re not dead!?”
Pang He’s eyes bulged in terror!
His throat constricted, barely able to speak!
He shook his head frantically,
Overwhelmed by fear—
Tears streamed down his face as he begged with his eyes!
—
“What’s this… begging for your life now?”
Tan Yun sneered, his lips curling cruelly.
“Back at Changling Immortal Mountain… weren’t you so arrogant?”
—
“I… I was wrong…”
Pang He barely managed to force out 5 words.
—
“Then go repent in hell.”
Tan Yun smiled wickedly.
In an instant—
He activated the “Primordial Divine Eyes”!
His star-like pupils—
Glowed with a strange red light!
—
Pang He froze instantly!
His face went blank, devoid of spirit!
—
“Answer me.”
“Half a month ago—at midnight…”
“Was it your uncle, Pang Shiyuan… who attacked me?”
—
“I… don’t know…”
—
A cold glint flashed in Tan Yun’s eyes.
“Take off your clothes.”
—
“Yes…”
Pang He complied without resistance.
Tan Yun immediately put them on!
—
Then—
In the instant he threw Pang He into the void—
Countless sword lights enveloped his body!
—
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Flesh and blood scattered!
In the blink of an eye—
Pang He was reduced to little more than a “skeleton” before dying!
—
Whoosh!
Tan Yun stored the lifeless body,
Then quickly returned toward Changling Immortal Mountain!
He slipped into the hidden tunnel he had dug earlier when leaving the peak,
Placed the corpse inside the coffin in his place!
Then—
He crawled out through the same passage,
Destroying all traces behind him!
—
Whoosh!
Tan Yun shot out from the mountain once more—
This time—
Wearing a “crimson robe” and the “Turtle Breath Cloak,”
Concealing his identity completely!
—
His figure surged forward at full speed—
Heading straight toward the “Immortal Mountain region of Elder 3”…!
