The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
With your intelligence, after 2 full days, you still haven’t discovered anything unusual at all?” “I also heard that late at night 29 days ago, you were the one who summoned the Law Enforcement disciples at Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm and those at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm to the Space-Time Hall! “Officer Zhong, the one who manages the Spirit Lamps of the outer disciples, is my man.” “Every month, he reports the number of dead disciples to the upper authorities of the ...
Inside the Discipline Hall, located about 1,000 feet away from the Space-Time Hall,
Qiu Yongchong, the Law Enforcement Elder of the Outer Disciples, was furious as he mercilessly whipped his personal disciple Liu Rulong!
“Long’er! The Spirit Lamps of 173 of my Law Enforcement disciples went out more than 4 hours ago! With your intelligence, after 2 full days, you still haven’t discovered anything unusual at all?”
“I also heard that late at night 29 days ago, you were the one who summoned the Law Enforcement disciples at Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm and those at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm to the Space-Time Hall! Do you dare say you know nothing about their deaths?!”
Qiu Yongchong, about 50 years old, fat and trembling with rage, was shaking violently.
He had already begun to suspect that his beloved disciple—who had never lied to him before—was hiding something!
“Elder, please calm down. Anger will harm your health.”
A comforting voice sounded from outside the hall.
Moments later, an 80-year-old man walked in. Though aged, he still carried himself with strong vigor.
This man was the 10th Elder of the Outer Disciples, and also Liu Rulong’s adoptive father—Guo Shouzhen.
“10th Elder, you came at the perfect time!”
Qiu Yongchong angrily pointed at Liu Rulong, who was still kneeling silently on the ground.
“Look at him! His wings have grown strong now. He won’t even answer my questions anymore!”
“Calm down first.” Guo Shouzhen gently patted Qiu Yongchong’s shoulder.
Then he looked at Liu Rulong with kindness.
“Long’er, look at what you’ve done. You’ve angered your master so much. Your adoptive father can see that something has been troubling you for a long time. If something has happened, just say it.”
Hearing this,
Liu Rulong slowly raised his head, his face covered with tears.
“Adoptive Father… Master… this disciple has violated the sect’s rules and committed a crime worthy of death.”
“What did you say?!”
Both Qiu Yongchong and Guo Shouzhen immediately changed expressions.
“Speak clearly! What exactly happened!”
Qiu Yongchong waved his right arm, and the hall doors slammed shut with a loud bang!
Liu Rulong’s eyes were red as his body trembled.
“Master… Adoptive Father… a new disciple named Tan Yun comes from the same hometown as me. More than 4 months ago, he slaughtered the entire Liu Family!”
“My father, mother, older sister, and everyone in my family… all died!”
“How audacious!”
A cold light flashed in Guo Shouzhen’s cloudy eyes.
“Long’er, continue!”
Liu Rulong clenched his fists, his voice filled with guilt.
“I wanted to kill that bastard to avenge the Liu Family!”
“So I sent fellow disciples to hunt him down in a small secret realm… but now it seems that because of my decision, 173 Law Enforcement disciples have died.”
“But I don’t understand. Tan Yun is only at Level 8 of the Nascent Soul Realm. How could he possibly kill them? There must be something behind this!”
“I understand now. Stand up.”
Qiu Yongchong said with a frown.
“This disciple has committed a crime and does not dare to stand.” Liu Rulong replied respectfully.
Qiu Yongchong sighed softly.
“Long’er, with your talent, you have the chance to reach the peak of the Heavenly Dao in the future.”
“Rest assured. Your master will never allow any harm to come to you.”
Then he smiled coldly.
“Whether those 173 Law Enforcement disciples were killed by Tan Yun or not is not important.”
“What matters is that he dared to massacre your Liu Family, so he must die!”
Liu Rulong felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly kowtowed 3 times.
“Thank you for your mercy, Master!”
“You are my only disciple. If I don’t help you, who else would I help?”
Qiu Yongchong’s voice softened as he helped Liu Rulong up.
Still worried, Liu Rulong said,
“But Master, after all, 173 disciples died in a single day…”
Before he could finish,
Qiu Yongchong smiled faintly.
“Officer Zhong, the one who manages the Spirit Lamps of the outer disciples, is my man.”
“Every month, he reports the number of dead disciples to the upper authorities of the Huangfu Holy Sect.”
“If the higher-ups learn that so many people died within only 4 hours, they will definitely send someone to investigate.”
“At that time, sooner or later the matter will lead back to you, and your chances of survival will become slim.”
“But don’t worry.”
“I will have Officer Zhong refrain from reporting the time of death of those 173 people for now.”
“Later, we will spread out their times of death evenly over a period of 6 months.”
Upon hearing this,
Guo Shouzhen immediately gave Qiu Yongchong a thumbs-up, then turned to urge Liu Rulong.
“Quick, thank your master!”
Liu Rulong kowtowed again, tears flowing with gratitude.
“Master, please accept your disciple’s bow!”
“Now I have no family left. In the future, I will take care of you and Adoptive Father with all my heart!”
Moments later, in the Snow Valley—
“Senior Brother Zhao! Look over there… is that Tan Yun?!”
A Law Enforcement disciple stared toward the eastern night sky with a frightened expression.
Everyone was startled and immediately turned to look at the same time.
However, ahead was only a vast expanse of snow-white fields, completely empty.
“Junior Brother Ding, are you so scared that you’re hallucinating? Where is anyone?”
“Yeah, don’t scare us like that!”
“You must be under too much stress and seeing things. I’m not insulting you, but Junior Brother Ding, you’re really timid!”
The Law Enforcement disciples scolded Ding Chang with dissatisfaction.
Ding Chang rubbed his eyes before staring carefully toward the eastern snowfield.
“I really saw a vague human shadow about 300 feet away… could I really be seeing things?”
Zhao Zihu raised his hand to stop everyone who was mocking him.
“When someone is under intense mental pressure, hallucinations are normal.”
“Don’t blame Junior Brother Ding. Let’s quickly restore our spiritual energy and return to the sect as soon as possible.”
“Understood, Senior Brother Zhao!”
Everyone sat down cross-legged.
But Ding Chang still couldn’t shake off his suspicion.
He raised his head and looked toward the eastern sky again.
Suddenly—
Every hair on his body stood on end. His eyes widened as he shouted in terror.
“It’s really Tan Yun!”
Everyone immediately looked up.
Sure enough, Tan Yun was holding 2 swords in his hands, his head lowered.
His figure flickered several times across the snow.
Then he appeared only 20 feet away from them!
Zhao Zihu gritted his teeth.
“Tan Yun, are you really going to kill all of us?!”
The remaining Law Enforcement disciples stared nervously at Tan Yun.
They were waiting only for Zhao Zihu’s command to scatter and flee for their lives.
A cold, emotionless voice sounded.
“From the moment you entered the snow region to hunt me, your deaths were already destined.”
“So why talk about slaughtering everyone?”
The moment he finished speaking—
Tan Yun slowly raised his head.
A pair of blood-red eyes shone terrifyingly in the darkness, like sharp blades piercing through the night sky and stabbing deep into everyone’s soul!
“Hmph!”
A powerful wave of dizziness crashed into everyone’s minds.
Except for Zhao Zihu, who struggled painfully—
The other 57 people stood frozen like wooden puppets!
In the next instant—
Tan Yun’s figure vanished from where he stood.
In the darkness,
Sword light swept across the throats of all 57 people in succession!
“Slash! Slash! Slash!”
Their heads were severed one after another.
Blood burst from their necks and splattered across the snow!
“AHHH!”
After regaining his senses, Zhao Zihu, whose soul was stronger than the others, was struck by a sword energy that split down from the top of his head.
His scream stopped instantly.
His body was split into 2 halves and collapsed onto the snow.
Tan Yun calmly collected the Qiankun Rings from the 58 corpses.
Then he quickly disappeared into the darkness of the night…
5 days later — Space-Time Hall
Inside the teleportation formation that connected to the Snow Valley, space suddenly rippled like the surface of water.
Tan Yun’s figure, dressed in brand-new silk robes, appeared in midair.
He stepped out of the Space-Time Hall.
Tan Yun muttered to himself,
“Mengyi must be worried about my safety.”
Then he walked straight toward the pavilion where Mu Mengyi lived.
One of the Law Enforcement disciples of the Space-Time Hall hurriedly ran outside.
His body trembled when he saw Tan Yun’s figure disappear into the distance.
“I… am I seeing things… or is Tan Yun really not dead?”
“Heavens! After being hunted by so many people, he actually managed to return alive!”
Inside the Discipline Hall, located about 1,000 feet away from the Space-Time Hall,
Qiu Yongchong, the Law Enforcement Elder of the Outer Disciples, was extremely furious as he mercilessly whipped his personal disciple Liu Rulong!
“Long’er! The Life Lamps of 173 Law Enforcement disciples under me went out more than 4 hours ago! With your intelligence, after 2 full days, you still haven’t discovered the slightest abnormality!”
“I also heard that late at night 29 days ago, you were the one who summoned the Law Enforcement disciples at Level 9 of the Nascent Soul Realm and those at the Great Perfection Realm to the Space-Time Hall! Do you still dare say you know nothing about their deaths?!”
Qiu Yongchong, about 50 years old and somewhat plump, trembled with rage.
In his heart, suspicion had already begun to arise—his beloved disciple, who had never lied to him before, seemed to be hiding something!
“Law Enforcement Elder, please calm your anger. Anger will harm your health.”
At that moment, a comforting voice sounded from outside the hall.
Soon, an 80-year-old man walked in. Although advanced in age, he still appeared vigorous and energetic.
This person was none other than
the 10th Elder of the Outer Disciples, and also Liu Rulong’s adoptive father — Guo Shouzhen.
“10th Elder, you arrived at the perfect time!”
Qiu Yongchong pointed angrily at Liu Rulong, who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word.
“Look at him! His wings have grown strong now. He won’t even answer my questions anymore!”
“Calm down, calm down.”
Guo Shouzhen gently patted Qiu Yongchong’s shoulder before turning to look at Liu Rulong with a compassionate gaze.
“Long’er, look at what you’ve done. You’ve angered your master so much. Your adoptive father can see that you must have been troubled recently.”
“Good child, if something has happened, just say it.”
Hearing this,
Liu Rulong slowly raised his head, his face covered in tears.
“Adoptive Father… Master… this disciple has violated the sect’s rules and committed a crime worthy of death.”
“What did you say?!”
The expressions of Qiu Yongchong and Guo Shouzhen immediately changed.
“Speak immediately! What happened!”
Qiu Yongchong swung his right arm.
Bang!
The hall doors slammed shut instantly.
Liu Rulong’s eyes were bloodshot, and his body trembled.
“Master… Adoptive Father… a new disciple named Tan Yun comes from the same hometown as me.”
“More than 4 months ago, he slaughtered my Liu Family!”
“My father, mother, older sister, and everyone in my family… all died!”
“Bastard!”
A cold light flashed in Guo Shouzhen’s cloudy eyes.
“Long’er, continue!”
Liu Rulong clenched his fists tightly, his voice filled with guilt.
“I wanted to kill that beast to avenge the Liu Family!”
“So I sent fellow disciples to a small secret realm to hunt down Tan Yun.”
“But now it seems that because of my actions, 173 Law Enforcement disciples have died.”
“However, I truly cannot understand it. Tan Yun is only at Level 8 of the Nascent Soul Realm. How could he possibly kill my disciples?”
“There must be something behind this.”
Qiu Yongchong frowned thoughtfully before speaking.
“I understand now. Stand up.”
“This disciple has committed a crime and does not dare to stand.” Liu Rulong replied respectfully.
Qiu Yongchong let out a soft sigh.
“Long’er, with your talent, you have the opportunity to reach the peak of the Heavenly Dao in the future.”
“Rest assured. Your master will never allow any harm to come to you.”
Then he smiled coldly.
“Whether those 173 Law Enforcement disciples were killed by Tan Yun or not is not important.”
“What matters is that he dared to massacre your Liu Family, so he must die!”
Liu Rulong felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly kowtowed 3 times.
“Thank you for your mercy, Master!”
“You are my only disciple. If I don’t help you, who else would I help?”
Qiu Yongchong said in a gentler tone as he helped him stand up.
Liu Rulong was still worried.
“But Master, after all, 173 disciples died within a single day…”
Before he could finish speaking,
Qiu Yongchong smiled faintly.
“Officer Zhong, the one who guards the Life Lamps of the outer disciples, is my man.”
“Officer Zhong is responsible for reporting the number of disciples who died each month to the upper authorities of the Holy Sect.”
“If the higher-ups learn that so many people died within only 4 hours, they will certainly send someone to investigate thoroughly.”
“Sooner or later, the matter will lead back to you.”
“At that time, your chances of survival will become extremely slim.”
Then he continued confidently.
“But Long’er, don’t worry.”
“I will have Officer Zhong refrain from reporting the time of death of those 173 people for now.”
“Later, we will spread out their times of death evenly over a period of 6 months.”
Upon hearing this,
Guo Shouzhen immediately gave Qiu Yongchong a thumbs-up before urging Liu Rulong.
“Hurry and thank your master!”
Liu Rulong kowtowed again, tears flowing with gratitude.
“Master, please accept your disciple’s bow!”
“Now I have no family left. In the future, I will take good care of you and my adoptive father!”
