The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Are you willing?” Tang Xinying looked at him with eyes full of gratitude and said softly: “Senior… I am willing.” “Mm.” Tan Yun nodded, then bent down and lifted her up steadily before walking out of the room. — As the teleportation light flared— Chen Qingfeng and Chen Wendao, who had been waiting outside Bingqing Hall, immediately turned around. “Please wait a moment, Elder De,” Tan Yun said, then turned to Chen Qingfeng: “Go to Lingshan Herb Garden and bring me: 100 stalks of Tier 3 Spirit-Nou...
“Whoosh—!”
Tan Yun flicked his body slightly, shaking off all the blood stains that clung to his hands and robes. Then he turned his gaze toward the surrounding elders with an icy look.
“No one is permitted to collect his corpse!”
“Yes, Senior!” all the elders quickly bowed their heads, not daring to even look directly at him.
Tan Yun glanced at Lu Yi once. From the other party’s attitude toward Tang Xinying, he could already tell—this man was definitely not a good person.
Tang Xinying had once saved him in the Fallen God Valley. Now that she was weak and vulnerable, if she remained in the Heavenly Pill Hall of Celestial Sanctum, it would be unsafe.
Tan Yun turned to Tan Tai Zhongde and said calmly:
“Xiao Dezhu, wait a moment.”
“Yes, Senior.” Tan Tai Zhongde quickly bowed in response.
—
Tan Yun walked back into the Heavenly Pill Hall of Celestial Sanctum without hurry.
Before the elders could fully understand what was happening, he had already reached the second-floor chamber. Standing by the bedside, he looked at Tang Xinying and said:
“Your body is too weak. It may not be safe for you to stay here. I will take you to Bingqing Immortal Mountain for treatment. Are you willing?”
Tang Xinying looked at him with eyes full of gratitude and said softly:
“Senior… I am willing.”
“Mm.”
Tan Yun nodded, then bent down and lifted her up steadily before walking out of the room.
After leaving the hall, Tang Xinying spoke softly:
“Senior, please wait a moment.”
Tan Yun stopped.
She turned to look at Chen Suiyue and said seriously:
“Elder 5, while I am away, you will be in charge of all affairs of the Celestial Sanctum Pill lineage. If anyone refuses to obey—execute first, report later.”
“I accept the command!” Chen Suiyue replied firmly, while Lu Yi’s expression turned extremely unpleasant.
“Let’s go,” Tang Xinying said.
“Mm.”
Tan Yun responded briefly and carried her into a teleportation array, heading directly to the Huangfu Headquarters.
Tan Tai Zhongde quickly followed, carrying Shen Subing in his arms.
—
Afterward, the group used multiple teleportation arrays, passing from the Huangfu Headquarters to the 7th floor of the inner sect area—a chamber containing more than 10 teleportation nodes.
Tan Yun set both women down briefly and said to Tan Tai Zhongde:
“Xiao Dezhu, you’ve worked hard today.”
“You flatter me, Senior,” Tan Tai Zhongde quickly bowed. “I was merely acting my part. In truth, I should be the one addressing you as Senior instead.”
“Your ability to heal the Hall Master shows that your mastery of formations is beyond comprehension.”
“Previously I only knew your alchemy skills were exceptional, but today I realized even formation arts are within your grasp…”
Tan Tai Zhongde spoke with sincere admiration.
Tan Yun smiled faintly.
“Elder De, Chen Qingfeng of the Lingshan Herb Garden is very worried about Subing. Let us complete the exchange at the Bingqing Hall directly then.”
“Good, good, good!” Tan Tai Zhongde nodded repeatedly and quickly went to retrieve the medicinal materials.
—
After waiting a short while, he returned.
The four of them then continued through the teleportation arrays toward Bingqing Immortal Mountain.
—
As the teleportation light flared—
Chen Qingfeng and Chen Wendao, who had been waiting outside Bingqing Hall, immediately turned around.
“Young lady!”
The two rushed forward and knelt in front of Tan Yun, repeatedly kowtowing.
“Thank you, Senior, for saving our young lady!”
“Rise. No need for such formalities,” Tan Yun said calmly.
“Thank you, Senior!”
Just as they stood up, they saw Tang Xinying in Tan Yun’s arms. Their expressions changed instantly, and they quickly knelt again.
“Greetings, Hall Master!”
“Don’t be so formal,” Tang Xinying said softly.
“Thank you, Hall Master,” the two quickly replied. Then Tan Yun carried the two women and walked straight into Bingqing Hall.
—
When they reached the second floor, he softened his voice:
“Subing, which room is yours?”
Shen Subing raised a trembling hand and pointed toward a closed door.
“Creeeak—!”
Tan Yun kicked the door open and gently placed her onto the bed.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, Shen Subing suddenly spoke, her voice trembling as tears streamed down her face:
“Master… I want you to stay with me…”
Tan Yun smiled faintly.
“Alright. I’ll stay with you after I finish dealing with her.”
After speaking, he carried Tang Xinying to the next room and gently placed her on the bed.
—
“Thank you, Senior, for saving my life,” Tang Xinying said gratefully.
She knew clearly that without him, she would have already died.
Tan Yun nodded slightly.
“If you want to thank me, then recover quickly and help take care of Subing in the future.”
He paused briefly, then warned:
“You must be careful of Lu Yi. That person is not trustworthy.”
Tang Xinying’s eyes turned cold.
“Rest assured, Senior. I know. He has always relied on his master, the Hall Master of the Celestial Sanctum Pill lineage, and has long wanted to seize my position.”
Tan Yun nodded.
“Good. Then rest. I’ll go check on Subing and later tell you how to treat your injuries.”
Just as he was about to leave, he paused and turned back:
“Do you have a bath tub?”
Tang Xinying’s pale face flushed slightly.
“…Yes.”
“Mm.”
Tan Yun nodded and left for Shen Subing’s room.
—
“Master… sob…”
Shen Subing lay on the bed, her eyes full of grievance, tears flowing nonstop.
“Master, Subing is cold… Subing is scared… can you… hug me?”
Even after six full months of torture, her eyes still carried deep fear, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Tan Yun knew her mental state needed time to recover.
He walked over, sat by the bed, and pulled her into his arms.
“Good girl. Don’t cry. Master is here. No one will ever bully you again.”
He gently patted her back.
Shen Subing leaned against his chest, sobbing:
“Master… for more than a year… where have you been… I thought I was going to die this time… didn’t you care about me at all…”
Tan Yun gently stroked her shoulder.
“You silly girl. I had matters I needed to deal with.”
“Don’t cry. You’re very weak right now. Rest first. We’ll talk when you recover.”
“Mm…” Shen Subing still hesitated. “Then… after I fall asleep… will I still see you again?”
Tan Yun shook his head slightly.
“Don’t worry. I’ll stay with you until you recover.”
“You’re not lying to your disciple, right…”
“I don’t lie.”
He gently laid her back down and turned to Chen Wendao.
“Go call my junior disciple here. Have her clean Subing’s wounds and apply medicine properly.”
“Yes, Senior.” Chen Wendao immediately left.
Tan Yun added:
“And don’t let too many elders know she has returned yet. I don’t want her recovery disturbed.”
“I understand,” Chen Wendao said, bowing before leaving.
—
After Shen Subing fell asleep, Tan Yun walked out of the room and went to the main hall with Chen Qingfeng.
Tan Tai Zhongde was already waiting inside.
“Please wait a moment, Elder De,” Tan Yun said, then turned to Chen Qingfeng:
“Go to Lingshan Herb Garden and bring me: 100 stalks of Tier 3 Spirit-Nourishing Grass.”
“30 stalks of Tier 5 Blood-Nourishing Spirit Grass.”
“And 3 Tier 6 herbs: Flame Spirit Grass, Yin Spirit Grass, and Rebirth Vine.”
“These will be used for the next stage of treatment for that girl.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng immediately bowed.
“I will go at once!”
