The Supreme Being Against Heaven

Tantai Xuanzhong was aware that Su Ming was in charge of overseeing the construction of the city gate.

Upon hearing that it was Su Ming who had come, Tantai Xuanzhong allowed him to enter the main hall.

"Ninth Elder, could it be that there's a problem with the construction of the city gate?" Long Aotian asked, looking at Su Ming as he entered the hall.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, it's not that there's a problem with the city gate, but rather that someone has come looking for trouble!" Su Ming bowed and said.

Tantai Xuanzhong frowned. "What do you mean by that, Elder Su?"

Su Ming faced Tantai Xuanzhong and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Sect Master Tantai, just now, a cultivator at the third level of the Soul Refining Realm from your sect said that there is a problem with the city gate you built."

“This person spoke forcefully, addressing my sect leader by his given name directly, and told me to come and call the sect leader over.”

Upon hearing this, the sect leaders were astonished! Who on earth was causing such trouble? Why was the construction of the city gate halted?

"This is outrageous!"

Tantai Xuanzhong frowned and said, "This sect master has instructed that no one except Qian Yuan is allowed to interfere in the construction of the city. How dare someone cause trouble for no reason! Elder Su, who is this person? This sect master will not let him off lightly!"

"Sect Master Tantai, this junior does not know his name," Su Ming said.

"Ninth Elder, if you don't know, can't you at least ask?" Long Aotian said, somewhat displeased.

"Elder Su has been working tirelessly, overseeing the construction of the city gates day and night. Sect Leader Long, please don't blame him." After speaking, Tantai Xuanzhong looked at Su Ming:

"Elder Su, do you still remember what this person looks like? If you do, then conjure up this person's appearance!"

At this moment, Tantai Xuanzhong was quite displeased. He wondered if some old fogey's confidant from the sect had come out to cause trouble?

Besides, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would dare to stop the construction of the city gate!

"It's a senior!" Su Ming said, "Senior Tantai, please look, this is the young man in white robes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming, relying on his memory, waved his right arm, and a burst of spiritual energy condensed in the void, forming a handsome and extraordinary young man in white robes!

"Tan Yun!" Tantai Xuanzhong suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with extreme disbelief, so much so that he didn't even notice the wine cup in his hand tilting and the spirit wine spilling out!

He rubbed his eyes violently, and when he realized it was indeed Tan Yun, his voice trembled as he asked, "Elder Su, are you sure it's him?"

Although Su Ming didn't understand why Tantai Xuanzhong had such a strong reaction, he still answered truthfully, "It's absolutely true!"

"Uh...uh..." Long Aotian was astonished, looking completely bewildered. "Um, Sect Master Tantai, didn't you say that Envoy Tan died young? How come he's still alive?"

"Yes, Sect Leader Tantai!"

"..."

The sect leaders all spoke up, feeling a bit overwhelmed!

"This is a long story, everyone, please excuse me!" After leaving these words, Tantai Xuanzhong turned into a blurry afterimage and disappeared from the seats of honor in an instant.

"Let's go, let's go see Envoy Tan!" Xue Chong stood up and vanished from his seat...

"Hahaha! So Envoy Tan isn't dead, that's great!" Long Aotian laughed heartily and hurriedly left the hall.

The other sect leaders followed closely behind.

In the blink of an eye, only an increasingly dumbfounded Su Ming was left behind!

"Holy crap! That scared me to death! I didn't know this person had such a powerful background!" Su Ming muttered to himself as his figure flashed and disappeared from the lobby...

Three breaths later.

"Tan Yun...is it really you?!"

Outside the city gate, Tan Yun suddenly heard a familiar and excited voice coming from the sky. The next moment, Tantai Xuanzhong appeared in front of him!

"Disciple Tan Yun has caused the sect leader worry. Please forgive me!" Tan Yun bowed deeply to Tantai Xuanzhong.

"Whoosh!"

Tantai Xuanzhong suddenly took a step forward, helped Tan Yun up, and gripped Tan Yun's arms tightly with both hands. Then, he burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! It really is you, kid! Good! It's good that you're back!"

"Quickly tell me, what exactly is going on?" Tantai Xuanzhong urged.

Tan Yun could tell from Tantai Xuanzhong's eyes that he genuinely cared about her.

A warm current welled up in Tan Yun's heart, filling his heart. "Reporting to the sect master, I was not able to leave the Eternal Land through the time tunnel back then, so I stayed there for three years without any danger."

"More than two months ago, I used this Eternal Land for a trial and then left the Eternal Land through the time tunnel."

Upon hearing this, Tantai Xuanzhong praised without reservation, "Good, you were saved from being dead!"

Immediately, Tantai Xuanzhong suddenly thought of something and asked, "Before the time tunnel opened, didn't the disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Divine Soul Immortal Sect intercept and kill your and my sect's disciples on the peak of the Time Immortal Mountain?"

"Yes," Tan Yun sneered. "However, all 5,900 disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect and the Huangfu Sacred Sect died! In the end, the disciples and thirty-one others from my sect left the Eternal Land alive!"

"They're all dead?" Tantai Xuanzhong was suddenly stunned. "You killed them all?"

"I only managed to control them; it was Da Niu and the others who killed them," Tan Yun said calmly.

"Hehehe, not bad, not bad at all, this is absolutely fantastic news!" Tantai Xuanzhong said gloatingly, "This time, I bet Zhuge Yu and that old bastard Ru Yan Wuji are furious, hahaha!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

At this moment, amidst the afterimages, thousands of sect leaders gathered around Tan Yun, addressing him as "Envoy Tan" and greeting him!

Tantai Xuanzhong witnessed this scene and chuckled to himself, "My chosen son-in-law is truly remarkable! At such a young age, he has already earned the admiration of so many sect leaders!"

After exchanging pleasantries with the sect leaders, Tan Yun looked at Tan Yun and asked in confusion, "Tan Yun, why did you stop Elder Su from building the city wall?"

The sect leaders fell silent and all looked at Tan Yun.

Tan Yun respectfully replied, "Reporting to the sect master, I learned a set of formations from my master that are used for both offense and defense against cities. It is called the Thousand Dragons City Protection Holy Formation."

"Therefore, I wish to suspend construction and build the city gate according to the layout I envision."

Tantai Xuanzhong frowned and said, "Since it was your master who taught you the formation, it must be extraordinary."

"However, the city-protecting formation is of utmost importance. You must first tell me, what is different about the Thousand Dragons City-Protecting Sacred Formation you mentioned?"

"Disciple obeys." Tan Yun replied, "May I ask, Sect Master, what formation did you originally intend to set up?"

Tantai Xuanzhong frankly said, "After the Heavenly Punishment City is completed, my second uncle will come to set up the Meteor Illusion Killing Saint Array. This array is a low-grade saint array. Of course, my second uncle is a low-level saint array master."

Upon hearing that Tantai Xuanzhong's second uncle was a low-level Saint Array Master, all the sect leaders gasped in shock!

It's important to know that the path of array crafting is divided into: Array Apprentice, Array Crafting Master, Grand Array Master, Venerable Array Master, Saint Array Master...

Each level is further divided into lower, middle, higher, and saintly levels.

It's no exaggeration to say that there aren't many low-level Saint Array Masters in the entire Heavenly Punishment Continent!

However, Tan Yun's next sentence left everyone speechless!

Tan Yun respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Sect Master, the Thousand Dragons City Protection Holy Array that my master taught me is a mid-grade holy array."

"A mid-grade Saint Array!" Tantai Xuanzhong exclaimed in shock. "Tan Yun! Your master is a mid-grade Saint Array Master?"
