The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Linghu Changkong smiled faintly and said, “Brother Murong, is it really worth getting this angry over just 1 woman?” Murong Kun glared at him with a flushed face before replying sarcastically, “Who the hell is your brother?” “Hmph. “It’s true that I don’t have 80 million, but my grandfather does!” “Is that enough for you?” “Just tell me—what exactly are we betting on?” Linghu Changkong smiled as he said: “As expected of the grandson of the 2nd Elder of the Beast Spirit Lineage from the Inner Dis...
“Senior Sister Mu, I’m injured, so I’ll have to part ways here,” Tan Yun said. Thinking about the life-and-death duel with Ye Tian in 1 month, he wanted to hurry back to recover and enter seclusion to cultivate as soon as possible.
Mu Mengyi pursed her lips, her face filled with concern. She spoke softly,
“Tan Yun, you have many enemies, and you’re injured. I can’t feel at ease leaving you alone. Come rest and recover at my residence.”
“Uh… about that…” Tan Yun hesitated for a moment, unable to speak.
“What? You don’t want to go?”
Mu Mengyi stared at him without blinking. Her breathtakingly beautiful face revealed a hint of displeasure mixed with tension.
Seeing that she was starting to get unhappy, Tan Yun quickly smiled.
“If going there means seeing a beauty like you every day, how could I not want to go? I’m just afraid it might trouble you.”
“I don’t care. As long as you’re safe, that’s enough.”
Mu Mengyi said while slightly turning her face away. A faint blush appeared on her smooth cheeks.
Seeing that Tan Yun was still hesitating, Xue Ziyan glanced at him and said,
“Senior Sister Mu is a woman and she’s not even afraid of damaging her reputation by letting you stay there. Why are you, a grown man, still hesitating? Honestly!”
“Sigh…”
Tan Yun was left speechless and didn’t bother arguing with Xue Ziyan. Was this really what she called hesitation?
If I go, not only will Mu Mengyi’s reputation be affected, but if Linghu Changkong refuses to hold back despite the duel with Ye Tian in 1 month and comes looking for trouble, she will be dragged into it as well!
Just then—
“Hmph. Kid, it seems you’re smart enough to know your limits. Let me warn you—if you dare to go, I guarantee you’ll regret ever being born!”
A deep, cold voice filled with hostility sounded from behind Tan Yun.
Murong Kun stepped forward with a dark expression!
“You shameless scoundrel, I don’t want to see your face. Get lost!”
Mu Mengyi immediately turned around, her cold and emotionless gaze fixed on Murong Kun.
When she recalled how Murong Kun had once used Love Powder on her, her hatred surged so violently that she wished she could kill him on the spot!
“Hmph, then I’ll go anyway.”
Tan Yun sneered.
“I’d really like to see how you’re going to make me regret being born.”
“You dare!”
Murong Kun clenched his teeth and raised his hand, preparing to strike Tan Yun!
Whoosh!
Mu Mengyi instantly rushed forward and stood in front of Tan Yun, saying firmly,
“As long as I’m here, don’t even dream of harming Tan Yun. I advise you to restrain yourself. Otherwise, I don’t mind defeating you in front of everyone and exposing your despicable deeds, making you lose face before the entire sect!”
Mu Mengyi is an expert ranked 4 on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Murong Kun, on the other hand, is only ranked 10.
He knew very well that if he attacked her now, the result would only be getting humiliated in front of everyone!
“Good! Very good!”
Murong Kun clapped his hands while laughing angrily.
“Mu Mengyi, remember my words. Anything I want will never escape me. One day, you will belong to me!”
“Shameless!”
Mu Mengyi trembled with anger.
Seeing this, Tan Yun stepped forward and spoke with a smile.
“Mengyi, it seems it’s been almost 1 month since you last ate the wild meat roasted by my own hands. I guess you must be craving it by now. Don’t bother arguing with a mad dog. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll roast it for you.”
When Murong Kun heard Tan Yun address her so intimately as “Mengyi,” his nose nearly twisted from anger!
But what Mu Mengyi did next made him feel as if he had been slapped hard across the face!
“Alright. I want roasted wild rabbit and grilled fish. Tan Yun, let’s go. I can’t wait anymore.”
Mu Mengyi’s beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation. She lightly swallowed before reaching out and grabbing Tan Yun’s right hand, then turned around and led him away.
Tan Yun had done that deliberately to provoke Murong Kun.
But for Mu Mengyi, it was different…
She genuinely missed the taste of the wild meat roasted by Tan Yun.
“Tan Yun, release her hand right now!” Murong Kun’s furious roar echoed far and wide.
The disciples who had not yet dispersed from the square all stopped and turned around.
The sight of Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi holding hands did not surprise them at all. News that the two had tightly embraced in front of the Time and Space Tower half a shichen earlier had already spread throughout the Outer Disciple Area. The only person who still didn’t know about it was Murong Kun.
Many disciples were not shocked, but instead looked at Tan Yun with eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
At the same time, everyone shared the same thought—after provoking Murong Kun to such an extent, Tan Yun’s life probably wouldn’t last much longer!
Yet amidst those mocking gazes and sneers, Tan Yun remained astonishingly calm.
Not only did he not release Mu Mengyi’s hand, he tightened his grip and said coldly:
“Murong Kun, listen carefully—so long as I’m alive, you can forget about ever touching Mengyi!”
After saying that, Tan Yun turned around and walked away while holding Mu Mengyi’s hand.
Mu Mengyi lowered her head shyly and allowed Tan Yun to lead her away, her heart pounding faster and faster!
Murong Kun was so furious he was nearly driven mad. He turned and glared at the surrounding disciples before shouting loudly:
“What are you all looking at?! Get lost! All of you—scram!”
The crowd quickly dispersed.
But one person walked toward Murong Kun with a half-mocking smile.
That person was none other than Linghu Changkong, his formidable rival!
The 2 of them relied on their powerful backgrounds and strength to build their own spheres of influence within the Outer Disciple Area.
As the saying goes, “2 tigers cannot share the same mountain.”
Thus, the 2 of them often clashed with each other. Even their subordinates had fought several times.
On the surface, they still maintained courtesy when meeting.
But in their hearts, each wished the other would die as soon as possible!
Linghu Changkong smiled faintly and said,
“Brother Murong, is it really worth getting this angry over just 1 woman?”
Murong Kun glared at him with a flushed face before replying sarcastically,
“Who the hell is your brother?”
“Hmph. Today, my men were injured by Tan Yun in the Snow Valley. I saw with my own eyes that Ye Tian already had a chance to kill him, but he was saved by Zhongwu Siyou.”
He narrowed his eyes mockingly…
“Ye Tian was the one who went to kill Tan Yun… you were the one who sent him, weren’t you?”
“Haha! I suggest you worry more about your woman instead!”
After saying that, Murong Kun turned around, preparing to leave.
“Stop!”
Linghu Changkong’s expression immediately darkened.
“What? Looking to pick a fight with me?” Murong Kun turned back, his face completely fearless.
“Don’t think that just because you’re stronger than me I’ll be afraid!”
Linghu Changkong forced a smile.
“You’re overthinking it. I just want to cooperate with you on something… or you could say we place a bet. I wonder if you dare?”
“A big bet?” Murong Kun sneered.
“I’d like to see just how big it is.”
Linghu Changkong waved his hand and declared:
“The stake is 80 million low-grade spirit stones!”
“What? 80 million?!”
Murong Kun looked at him as if he were insane.
“Linghu Changkong, have you gone crazy over spirit stones? Do you even have that much money?”
“That’s none of your concern,” Linghu Changkong replied calmly.
“If I lose, I’ll pay the full amount. But if you lose… can you afford it?”
Murong Kun laughed coldly.
“It’s true that I don’t have 80 million, but my grandfather does!”
“Is that enough for you?”
“Just tell me—what exactly are we betting on?”
Linghu Changkong smiled as he said:
“As expected of the grandson of the 2nd Elder of the Beast Spirit Lineage from the Inner Disciple Region.”
Inwardly, he believed that Ye Tian would definitely kill Tan Yun within 1 month, so he spoke smoothly:
“Since both you and I want Tan Yun dead, how about this—”
“Within 1 month, whoever kills Tan Yun first wins.”
Murong Kun’s face instantly turned cold.
“Linghu Changkong, are you playing games with me?”
“Tan Yun has gone to hide with Mu Mengyi. I can’t defeat her. If he stays hidden for the entire 1 month, how am I supposed to kill him?”
“You might be able to defeat Mu Mengyi and then kill Tan Yun—but I can’t!”
He spoke heavily:
“Unless you swear that you will not take action personally. Only then will I accept this bet. Otherwise, forget it!”
Hearing Murong Kun’s firm tone, Linghu Changkong pretended to hesitate before speaking thoughtfully:
“…Alright. I accept the condition.”
“Words alone aren’t enough. Swear it!” Murong Kun narrowed his eyes sharply.
Linghu Changkong raised his right hand and held up 3 fingers toward the sky—
Then he made a Heavenly Oath!
