The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“3 days ago, after I broke through to Level 8 of the Spirit Infant Realm in the Snow Valley, I discovered that she was being chased by a Snow Demon Ape, so I saved her.” “Why would you save her! Tell me—what exactly happened?” Ye Tian said resentfully, “Reporting to Senior Brother Linghu, although Tan Yun is only at Level 8 of the Spirit Infant Realm, his cross-level combat power is extremely terrifying! You may leave!” Ye Tian still kept his head lowered and continued, “I still have something e...
Tan Yun smiled and shook his head. After a moment of silence, he said,
“Senior Sister Xue, you misunderstood. Between Zhong Wu Siyao and me, there is no connection now, and there will be none in the future.”
Mu Mengyi, who was quick-witted, spoke meaningfully,
“Is it because of her sworn brother… Liu Rulong?”
“Yes,” Tan Yun nodded and continued.
“3 days ago, after I broke through to Level 8 of the Spirit Infant Realm in the Snow Valley, I discovered that she was being chased by a Snow Demon Ape, so I saved her.”
“Why would you save her! She deserved it. It would’ve been better if she had died—”
Xue Ziyan had just begun speaking when Mu Mengyi immediately interrupted her.
“Don’t interrupt. Let Tan Yun finish first.”
Tan Yun then continued,
“After that, I traveled together with her for a while. Later, when I was defeated by Ye Tian and nearly lost my life, it was she who helped me leave the Snow Valley. Without her, I would have been in great danger that time.”
“Only later did I find out that she is the sworn sister of Liu Rulong.”
After hearing the whole story, Mu Mengyi fell silent for a moment before asking,
“If you had known her identity from the beginning, would you still have saved her?”
Tan Yun answered firmly,
“No.”
This answer made Mu Mengyi extremely satisfied.
Xue Ziyan spoke bluntly,
“The situation is already clear! You saved her life once, and she saved you once. That makes you even! Tan Yun, from now on you should just ignore her. You probably don’t know her personality very well yet.”
“Last year, during the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, she knew very well that she was no match for Senior Sister Mu. Yet she used a dirty trick and secretly poisoned Senior Sister Mu’s tea, causing Senior Sister Mu to only be able to use 80% of her strength. In the end, she lost to her!”
“If it weren’t for that incident, Senior Sister Mu would have shared Rank 3 with Liu Rulong, while she would have only gotten Rank 4!”
“What’s even more infuriating is that afterward she flatly denied it. Truly shameless!”
Hearing this, Tan Yun frowned slightly and suddenly recalled the scene when Zhong Wu Siyao was being chased by the Snow Demon Ape and begged him for help.
At that time, when she saw that he had not yet stepped in to help, she did not blame him at all. On the contrary, when she told him to quickly escape and then jumped off the cliff to end her life, the expression on her face at that moment… could not possibly have been an act.
His instincts told him that Zhong Wu Siyao was unlikely to be that kind of person.
With doubt in his heart, Tan Yun looked at Mu Mengyi and asked a question.
“Tan Yun, what Junior Sister Xue said… is true.”
Mu Mengyi replied with certainty.
Tan Yun nodded lightly.
“I see. It seems I misjudged her. Anyway, let’s not talk about her anymore.”
Then he asked another question.
“By the way, Senior Sister Mu, do you know what the Supreme Elder is going to announce?”
Mu Mengyi answered honestly,
“I guess it’s probably related to the Fallen God Valley Trial, which is held every 3 years, but I still don’t know the details.”
Tan Yun frowned slightly.
“Fallen God Valley… is that just a name, or did a god really fall there?”
He was extremely sensitive to the word ‘god.’
“A god really did fall there.”
Mu Mengyi said confidently, then looked at Tan Yun before continuing,
“This story is very long. Wait until the Supreme Elder finishes announcing the important matter, and then I’ll tell you.”
“Alright!” Tan Yun agreed.
But in his heart, he was thinking,
“The Heaven Punishment Continent is merely like a single grain of millet in the vast universe. Logically speaking, the gods should not be able to descend to this place. So why is it that they not only came down… but even fell and died here?”
…
At the same time, inside Linghu Changkong’s room.
Ye Tian knelt on one knee on the floor, facing Linghu Changkong, and said respectfully,
“This subordinate is incompetent and failed to kill Tan Yun. Please punish me!”
“Stand up first, then answer my question.”
Linghu Changkong waved his hand for Ye Tian to rise before asking with great confusion,
“With your strength, killing Tan Yun should have been as easy as taking candy from a child. Tell me—what exactly happened?”
Ye Tian said resentfully,
“Reporting to Senior Brother Linghu, although Tan Yun is only at Level 8 of the Spirit Infant Realm, his cross-level combat power is extremely terrifying! Of the 32 subordinates I brought with me, all at Level 9 of the Spirit Infant Realm, 3 were directly killed by him, and the rest also died because of him!”
“What?!”
Linghu Changkong immediately stood up, his expression changing drastically.
“I remember Hu Chongsheng once told me that when Tan Yun was only at Level 7 of the Spirit Infant Realm, he was already able to kill Wei Qi. That’s why I ordered him to inform you to go and kill Tan Yun.”
“But no matter how strong Tan Yun is, it shouldn’t have resulted in everyone you brought being killed!”
Hearing this, Ye Tian quickly replied truthfully,
“Senior Brother Linghu, besides breaking through to Level 8, Tan Yun has also cultivated an eye technique capable of controlling the minds of others. He used that eye technique to control 29 of the people I brought, making them turn against me and attack me. I had no choice but to personally kill those 29 people!”
“Afterward, I was already about to kill Tan Yun, but Zhong Wu Siyao suddenly appeared. Her relationship with Tan Yun seemed unusual. She tried her best to stop me, so I had no choice but to stop!”
Upon hearing this, Linghu Changkong’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he shouted coldly,
“Explain clearly! In what way is her relationship with Tan Yun unusual?!”
Ye Tian lowered his head and spoke nervously,
“Senior Brother Linghu, please calm your anger. At that time, Zhong Wu Siyao seemed to be injured. Tan Yun was supporting her as they left, and the two of them looked very close.”
“Damn it… absolutely damn it!”
Linghu Changkong’s face immediately turned livid.
“That wretched woman usually ignores me, yet she goes around flirting with other men!”
He tightly gripped the wine cup in his hand before crushing it into pieces and roaring,
“Tan Yun must die!”
“Ye Tian, no matter what method you use, within 3 days I must hear news of his death! If you can’t even handle such a small matter, then don’t even think about following me anymore!”
Bang!
Ye Tian immediately knelt down again, his body trembling.
“Senior Brother Linghu, I have already agreed with Tan Yun that in 1 month, we will step onto the dueling stage for a life-and-death battle. Please give me 1 more month. At that time, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!”
Linghu Changkong stared at Ye Tian with an unreadable expression before finally nodding.
“Don’t disappoint me again. You may leave!”
Ye Tian still kept his head lowered and continued,
“I still have something else to report.”
“Speak!”
“Senior Brother Linghu, I saw with my own eyes that 16 of Murong Kun’s men tried to capture Tan Yun alive, but they were severely injured by him instead.”
He continued,
“At that time, I only knew that Tan Yun had offended Murong Kun, but I didn’t know the real reason.”
“But just now, when I came out of the Spacetime Hall, I saw that Mu Mengyi actually rushed forward and hugged Tan Yun. It seems the two of them have a very close relationship. That must be the reason Murong Kun is taking revenge on him.”
“Is that so…”
A cunning smile appeared on Linghu Changkong’s lips.
“This matter is becoming more and more interesting. A mere new disciple is actually entangled with 2 beauties. Heh… how interesting.”
At the same time,
inside the 1st floor hall of Murong Kun’s residence.
Murong Kun looked at the bodies of Han Shanren and the other 16 people lying seriously injured on the ground. His anger surged violently.
“Trash! All of you are useless trash!”
He roared furiously.
“You can’t even capture a single person! Why should I keep any of you!”
Murong Kun pointed at Han Shanren.
“What did you promise me in the beginning? You said you would bring Tan Yun back to me! Trash like you deserves to die!”
Han Shanren cried bitterly.
“Senior Brother Murong, please calm your anger! I truly deserve death. I have already been poisoned, and I probably won’t live much longer. I have no regrets about dying.”
“I only beg you, for the sake of my loyalty in serving you all this time, please save them!”
The “them” Han Shanren referred to were the 2 disciples behind him who were severely injured, and the other 13 disciples whose hand and foot tendons had been severed by Tan Yun.
Murong Kun looked at the other 15 disciples lying on the ground before taking a deep breath.
“They are your men, which means they are also my men, Murong Kun’s, as well. I will arrange for someone to treat their injuries.”
Then his tone turned icy.
“As for you… when you fail your duty, you must die!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Kun waved his hand once.
A palm force shot out instantly—
Bang!
Han Shanren’s heart was crushed in an instant!
