The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
This Tan Yun really isn’t afraid of death!” “Senior Sister Mu is the woman that Senior Brother Rong has set his sights on, and he still dares to touch her!” Another person added, “That’s right!” “Besides, this guy is only at Level 8 of the Spirit Infant Realm.” “He’s not even that handsome.” “How could Senior Sister Mu possibly like him!” The crowd instantly erupted into chaos. “Senior Sister Mu and Junior Brother Tan are only friends.” “If any of you dare to gossip again…” “Don’t blame me for n...
“Tan Yun!”
Suddenly, a clear female voice filled with joy rang out among the bustling crowd.
Tan Yun turned toward the direction of the voice.
In an instant, a faint, pure fragrance drifted into his nose.
Before he could react, a figure in red rushed forward and threw herself into his arms!
Mu Mengyi lightly pounded Tan Yun’s chest with her small fists while sobbing.
“Where have you been these past few days!”
“Do you know how worried I’ve been about you!”
At that moment,
the disciples on the street all froze as if they had been cursed.
They stared in shock at the scene of the girl in red tightly hugging Tan Yun!
After a moment of silence,
exclamations of disbelief erupted throughout the crowd!
“Heavens! Am I seeing things? Is that Senior Sister Mu?”
“Junior Brother, you didn’t see wrong! That’s Senior Sister Mu, Mu Mengyi!”
“Impossible… someone as noble as Senior Sister Mu actually rushed forward to hug a man first!”
“That’s right! This is too unbelievable!”
Someone asked,
“By the way, do you know who that man is?”
Many people shook their heads.
“No idea, I’ve never seen him before!”
One disciple spoke with confidence.
“I know!”
“This person is a new disciple who has only entered the sect for 25 days!”
“At that time, I don’t know if Senior Sister Mu was injured or what, but he was the one who carried her back to her room!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
someone exclaimed loudly.
“Damn! This Tan Yun really isn’t afraid of death!”
“Senior Sister Mu is the woman that Senior Brother Rong has set his sights on, and he still dares to touch her!”
Another person added,
“That’s right!”
“Besides, this guy is only at Level 8 of the Spirit Infant Realm.”
“He’s not even that handsome.”
“How could Senior Sister Mu possibly like him!”
The crowd instantly erupted into chaos.
Everyone began discussing the scene in shock!
Suddenly,
a sharp female voice rang out.
“Everyone, shut up!”
Xue Ziyan, Mu Mengyi’s close friend, stepped out from the crowd.
She swept her cold gaze across everyone.
“Senior Sister Mu and Junior Brother Tan are only friends.”
“If any of you dare to gossip again…”
“Don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”
Xue Ziyan is a powerful expert ranked 128 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
After hearing her reprimand,
the crowd reacted like startled birds.
Everyone immediately shut their mouths.
Then they dispersed in groups of 3–5 people, heading toward the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, located in the center of the palace complex,
to listen to the teachings of the Outer Sect elder during the Chen Hour (07:00–09:00).
Tan Yun gently patted Mu Mengyi on the shoulder and laughed.
“Senior Sister Mu, haven’t I already returned safely?”
“Don’t cry anymore.”
“If you keep crying, your face will get messy like a clown’s. That wouldn’t look pretty.”
Mu Mengyi wiped away her tears.
“I’m not crying!”
Then she looked at Tan Yun’s pale face and the wounds on his arm.
Within her tear-filled eyes,
an unconcealable killing intent appeared.
“Who injured you like this?”
“Was it… Murong Kun?”
Tan Yun shook his head.
“It wasn’t him.”
“It was one of Linghu Changkong’s subordinates.”
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Mu Mengyi immediately asked,
“What exactly happened?”
Tan Yun replied,
“It’s a long story…”
“Let’s walk and talk.”
On the way to the Hidden Dragon Pavilion,
Tan Yun told Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan everything.
Starting from how Wei Qi tried to kill him to seize his treasure, but was instead killed by him in the end.
Then Murong Kun ordered Han Shanren, along with 16 others, to capture him alive.
But in the end, Tan Yun destroyed all of their cultivation.
Including the matter where Linghu Changkong ordered Ye Tian to lead another 33 people to hunt him down.
However, the part where he challenged Ye Tian to a life-and-death duel in 1 month
Tan Yun did not mention.
Because he did not want Mu Mengyi to worry.
Moreover, Tan Yun did not mention the events between himself and Zhong Wu Siyao at all. In his mind, meeting her had been a mistake from the very beginning, and he no longer wished to mention that name again!
After hearing this, Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan both revealed shocked expressions, while the hatred in their hearts toward Linghu Changkong and Murong Kun grew even stronger.
Neither of them could believe that Tan Yun had managed to reach Level 8 of the Spirit Infant Realm in such a short period of time!
What was even more unbelievable was how terrifying Tan Yun’s ability to fight across levels was! One must know that Ye Tian was not an ordinary cultivator at the Spirit Infant Realm Great Perfection, but a top expert ranked 98 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!
The two young women had never expected that Tan Yun would actually be able to escape from Ye Tian’s grasp.
Mu Mengyi could not help but worry about Tan Yun, because he had now gained another powerful enemy—Linghu Changkong!
As Tan Yun walked along the road, he noticed that Mu Mengyi looked as though she wanted to say something, yet seemed hesitant. So he asked,
“Is something wrong?”
“Nothing…” Mu Mengyi replied somewhat unnaturally, glancing at the thin white bandage wrapped around Tan Yun’s injured right arm.
“Senior Sister Mu, if you’re too shy to ask, then I’ll ask instead.”
Xue Ziyan stared sharply at Tan Yun with her beautiful narrow eyes before pointing at the bandage on his arm.
“This clearly belongs to a woman. How did you get it? Tell the truth— which Junior Sister bandaged your wound?”
Tan Yun did not want to mention Zhong Wu Siyao at all. But after being pressed by Xue Ziyan, he finally spoke the truth.
“I… met Zhong Wu Siyao in the Snow Valley.”
“What? It’s hers?!”
Xue Ziyan placed her hands on her hips in anger.
“Tan Yun, you really are heartless! Look at Senior Sister Mu! When you disappeared, she worried about you every day and lost so much weight!”
“Do you know why we found you the moment you came out of the Spacetime Hall?”
“I’ll tell you why. After Senior Sister Mu searched the entire Outer Sect and still couldn’t find you, she guessed that you had probably entered a small secret realm. So 7 days ago, she dragged me here and waited in front of the Spacetime Hall for 7 days and 7 nights…”
Before Xue Ziyan could finish speaking, Mu Mengyi hurriedly pulled her aside.
“Junior Sister Xue, that’s enough. Don’t say any more.”
“Senior Sister, but I have to say it!” Xue Ziyan still looked annoyed before calling out Tan Yun’s name directly.
“Tan Yun, did you really go and mingle with that scheming woman Zhong Wu Siyao?! Did she trick you or something? Hmph! Even though she’s one of the 4 great beauties, she’s still nothing more than a cruel and cunning woman!”
“Ziyan, that’s enough!”
Mu Mengyi’s voice instantly turned cold.
“Hmph!”
Xue Ziyan turned her face away and finally fell silent.
Tan Yun heard Xue Ziyan scolding him, but he was not angry at all. Mu Mengyi was his friend, and if Xue Ziyan were not as close to Mu Mengyi as sisters, she would not have vented her dissatisfaction at him like this.
At that moment, Tan Yun looked at the weary Mu Mengyi. His expression softened, and a deep sense of gratitude arose in his heart.
He had never expected that, out of concern for him, she would search every corner of the Outer Sect within a radius of 800 li, and even wait day and night outside the Spacetime Hall just for him to appear.
When Mu Mengyi noticed Tan Yun staring at her like that, her face flushed slightly red before she gave a faint smile.
“Tan Yun, you are both the benefactor who saved my life and also my friend. Now that I see you’ve returned safely, I feel relieved.”
“Friend… only that…”
Xue Ziyan could not help muttering to herself. Since when did friends think about each other every day like this?
“You talk too much. If you didn’t speak, no one would think you were mute.”
Mu Mengyi rolled her eyes at her.
“Alright, alright, I understand. Friends it is!”
Xue Ziyan stuck out her tongue playfully. Then she noticed Tan Yun laughing and immediately made an annoyed expression.
“What are you laughing at? Is it really that funny? Honestly!”
