The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
When the two were less than 30 li away from the teleportation array, Tan Yun suddenly stopped and carefully scanned the snow-covered terrain around them. “Am I overthinking this… or are the enemies hiding beneath the snow?” Tan Yun raised his eyebrows slightly before continuing toward the teleportation array. Let us handle him!” Ye Tian spoke calmly, “He’s now at Level 8 of the Spirit Embryo Realm, not Level 7.” Then he glanced at Hu Chongsheng beside him and asked, “Are you certain that when he...
After making up his mind, Tan Yun gently put the white-robed woman down. Then he drew his sword and began slashing at the rocky cliff on the mountaintop. Before long, he had carved out 2 adjacent cave rooms.
After settling the white-robed woman inside one of the caves, Tan Yun smiled faintly and spoke casually,
“Rest for now. I’ll come call you when it’s time to leave. Also, I’ll be in the cave next door. If you need anything, just call me.”
“Thank you very much,” the white-robed woman said gratefully.
“It’s nothing.”
Just as Tan Yun was about to turn around and leave, the white-robed woman called out to him softly.
“I would like to know the name of my benefactor.”
“Tan Yun,” he replied briefly.
“Junior Brother Tan, I will remember this life-saving kindness forever. Please rest assured, I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future.”
Tan Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, looking somewhat displeased.
“In that situation, if I had just stood by and watched someone die, I would have felt guilty. As for repayment, forget it. It’s already very late, you should rest.”
After speaking, he turned around and left the cave.
Standing on the mountaintop, Tan Yun couldn’t help but recall the time he had spent with Mu Mengyi in a cave deep within the valley.
A trace of longing flickered in his star-like eyes as he murmured to himself,
“It’s been so long since I last saw her. Why am I suddenly starting to miss her?”
Tan Yun stood silently for a moment before shaking his head lightly. He then walked into his own cave, sat cross-legged, and began circulating the Ancient Spirit Gathering Technique, madly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore his strength.
Early Yin hour, about 2 hours before Chen hour.
After fully recovering his strength, Tan Yun arrived outside the white-robed woman’s cave and said,
“Senior Sister, it’s time to depart.”
“Alright.”
The white-robed woman endured the pain throughout her body and stepped out of the cave.
Under the bright moonlight, Tan Yun carried the white-robed woman on his back and dashed across the snow-covered mountain peaks as if he were walking on flat ground.
“Junior Brother Tan, why didn’t you ask my name?” the white-robed woman asked gently.
Tan Yun replied calmly,
“I saved your life, yet you didn’t introduce yourself first. Why should I ask?”
The white-robed woman quickly explained,
“Junior Brother Tan, you misunderstood. The reason I didn’t say anything was because I thought you already knew who I was.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Tan Yun answered briefly and said nothing more.
The white-robed woman also fell silent. However, in her heart she was certain that Tan Yun must be a new disciple, which was why he didn’t know her identity.
1 hour later.
When the two were less than 30 li away from the teleportation array, Tan Yun suddenly stopped and carefully scanned the snow-covered terrain around them.
“Junior Brother Tan, what’s wrong?” the white-robed woman asked in confusion.
Tan Yun spoke in a serious tone,
“I suspect that my enemies might be lying in ambush at the teleportation array. If you go with me and I’m not their opponent, I’m afraid you might be implicated.”
At this point, he added,
“From here to the teleportation array, there are still 26 li left. Can you go back on your own?”
The white-robed woman replied,
“Over the past 2 days, I have recovered about 10% of my strength. I should be able to make it back.”
“Good. In that case, we’ll part ways here. Hopefully we’ll meet again someday.”
Tan Yun put her down and cupped his fists in farewell.
“Alright. Take care.”
After speaking, the white-robed woman watched as Tan Yun’s figure gradually faded into the falling snow.
Suddenly, she cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted,
“Tan Yun, remember this! My name is Zhong Wushiyao!”
Seeing that Tan Yun didn’t respond immediately, she couldn’t help but wonder whether he had heard her.
Without turning around, Tan Yun merely raised his right arm and replied,
“Nice name!”
Soon after, his figure disappeared completely among the swirling snowflakes.
A trace of hesitation appeared in Zhong Wushiyao’s beautiful eyes.
In the end, she endured the pain that felt as though it were tearing her heart apart and quietly followed behind Tan Yun from a distance.
At the same time,
Tan Yun had already released his spiritual sense to its limit, covering an area within a radius of 11 li as he moved silently toward the teleportation array.
Tan Yun had long sensed that Zhong Wushiyao was following him from about 2 li behind.
After 3 ke had passed, Tan Yun was now less than 5 li away from the teleportation array. He swept the surrounding area with his spiritual sense but found nothing unusual.
“Am I overthinking this… or are the enemies hiding beneath the snow?”
Tan Yun raised his eyebrows slightly before continuing toward the teleportation array.
It was well known that the spiritual sense of a cultivator in the Spirit Embryo Realm was like a second pair of eyes. It could detect things in open spaces, but if something was hidden, it could not be discovered.
If a cultivator wished to detect hidden enemies, they would first need to break through from the Spirit Embryo Realm to the Embryo Soul Realm.
Meanwhile,
30 zhang east of the teleportation array,
Ye Tian, Hu Chongsheng, and the others—a total of 34 people—were hiding beneath piles of snow.
Hu Chongsheng peeked through a small gap in the snow. His eyes flashed with excitement when he saw a figure approaching from afar, and he whispered in a low voice,
“Senior Brother Ye, that’s Tan Yun! That bastard finally showed up!”
When the others heard this, it was as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They whispered excitedly,
“Senior Brother Ye, he’s just trash at Level 7 of the Spirit Embryo Realm. There’s no need for you to take action personally. Let us handle him!”
Ye Tian spoke calmly,
“He’s now at Level 8 of the Spirit Embryo Realm, not Level 7.”
Then he glanced at Hu Chongsheng beside him and asked,
“Are you certain that when he was at Level 7, he was the one who killed Wei Qi?”
Hu Chongsheng immediately replied,
“Senior Brother Ye, I swear with my life that I didn’t see it wrong!”
He continued with a serious expression,
“Normally, even a genius would need at least 3 months to advance from Level 7 to Level 8. But this kid only took 25 days!”
“He must have encountered a great opportunity in the Snow Valley!”
Ye Tian nodded slightly.
“That’s very possible.”
Then he gave a low-voiced order,
“To prevent him from noticing anything, wait until he gets closer. Only attack when I give the command.”
“Understood, Senior Brother Ye!”
After everyone responded, Ye Tian spoke thoughtfully,
“We were ordered to kill Tan Yun, which is why we came here to ambush him.”
“But Han Shanren and the other 16 people are subordinates of Murong Kun. Why are they hiding here as well…”
…
Another 2 ke later,
When Tan Yun was about 300 zhang away from the teleportation array, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
At that moment, he sharply sensed more than 10 strands of killing intent emanating from the front!
Tan Yun’s expression immediately darkened as he shouted coldly,
“Come out! You cowardly rats hiding in the shadows!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Whoosh—!”
The piles of snow instantly exploded apart.
16 figures holding swords shot out from beneath the snow. Their silhouettes flashed as they surrounded Tan Yun from all directions!
The man leading them stared at Tan Yun with vicious, narrow eyes. He was a Level 9 cultivator of the Spirit Embryo Realm — Han Shanren.
He shouted harshly,
“Tan Yun, you bastard! You’ve made us brothers wait for a long time!”
The remaining 15 disciples, all at Level 8 of the Spirit Embryo Realm, revealed cruel smiles. Their eyes were filled with excitement.
As long as they captured Tan Yun alive and handed him over to Murong Kun, the reward would surely be enormous!
Tan Yun glanced coldly at the people around him. When he realized that only Han Shanren was at Level 9, he sneered.
“Shorty, keep it brief. Don’t block my path.”
Han Shanren hated being called short the most. He immediately flew into a rage.
“Brat, don’t think that just because you’ve reached Level 8, you can act arrogant in front of me!”
“If it weren’t for Senior Brother Murong ordering us to capture you alive, I, Han Shanren, would have killed you long ago!”
He revealed a vicious grin.
“I’ll give you 2 choices.”
“First, kneel down and call me ‘Grandfather’ 3 times, then surrender!”
“Second, I don’t mind crippling you first before handing you over to Senior Brother Murong!”
“Choose!”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun’s face instantly turned icy cold.
If his body had not been strong enough to survive the fall from the cliff, and if he hadn’t pretended to be dead to escape Murong Kun’s pursuit,
his corpse would probably have long become food for the beasts in the valley!
Tan Yun stared at Han Shanren with a murderous gaze as an icy killing intent spread from his entire body.
“Choose your mother!”
he said coldly.
“Originally, the grudge between me and Murong Kun had nothing to do with anyone else.”
“But it seems…”
“Today, I’ll have to kill all of you!”
