The Supreme Being Against Heaven

When she heard the name “Huangfu Sacred Sect,” Feng Jingru’s body trembled violently. The long sword she had raised did not strike down at Liu Boyi.

Because the Huangfu Sacred Sect was one of the Nine Ancient Sects of the Heavenly Punishment Continent, a place that millions of cultivators dreamed of joining, even if they had to sacrifice everything.

She had never expected that Liu Rulong, who had disappeared for ten years, would now become a disciple of the Sacred Sect.

“Mother, whether it’s true or not, this man must die!”

Tan Yun said firmly.

“Tan Yun, I beg you—don’t kill me!”

Liu Boyi, lying on the ground, hurriedly pleaded.

“As long as you spare me, I promise I will never think of taking revenge against the Tan Family again! If you don’t believe me, I can swear… I swear!”

At that moment, Tan Changchun, supported by guards, walked out with a worried expression.

“My dear grandson, since he is willing to swear, why not let him go? Liu Rulong is now a disciple of the Huangfu Sacred Sect. Our Tan Family cannot afford to offend them.”

“Thank you, Elder Tan, for sparing my life!”

Liu Boyi felt as if he had escaped from hell and ascended to heaven, his eyes filled with gratitude.

“I will swear right now!”

But Tan Yun’s next words made his heart plunge into an icy abyss.

“Grandfather, even if Liu Rulong has become a disciple of the Huangfu Sacred Sect, Liu Boyi must die today!”

The image of the massacre of 308 members of the Tan Family before his rebirth instantly surfaced in Tan Yun’s mind.

His voice was firm and unshakable.

Slash!

The blade flashed in an instant—

Liu Boyi’s head was severed immediately.

No hesitation.

No mercy whatsoever.

Looking at Liu Boyi’s corpse with wide-open, lifeless eyes, Tan Changchun, Tan Feng, and Feng Jingru all felt a heavy weight pressing on their hearts.

The status of Liu Rulong as a disciple of the Huangfu Sacred Sect was like a massive stone pressing on their chests.

“Heavens… Young Master Tan really killed the Liu Family Patriarch!”

“This time the Tan Family is doomed! When Young Master Liu returns, he will definitely take revenge!”

“…”

The surrounding townspeople’s expressions immediately changed as whispers spread everywhere.

“Grandfather, Father, Mother—there’s no need to worry.”

Tan Yun spoke confidently.

“As long as I am here, Liu Rulong will never be able to touch the Tan Family.”

“Good. My dear grandson, I believe you.”

Tan Changchun said.

At the same time, two hundred guards of the Tan Family escorted five hundred surrendered guards from the Situ Family and the Liu Family outside the Tan Family gate.

They also threw the body of Liu Ruyan, who had been pinned to the gate, at Tan Yun’s feet.

Liu Ruyan was on the verge of death, blood pouring from her chest.

She raised her head, her eyes filled with venom as she glared at Tan Yun with hatred.

“You killed my Jinan… you killed my father… Let me tell you this—when my brother returns, he will wipe out your Tan Family completely!”

The corner of Tan Yun’s mouth curled into a cold smile.

“Wretched woman. Let me tell you something as well—your brother will be dead soon too.”

Slash!

The sword flashed—

Liu Ruyan’s jade-like white neck was severed instantly!

“Young Master Tan, please spare our lives!”

“We were forced to do this… please spare us!”

The guards from the Liu and Situ families knelt down and repeatedly slammed their heads against the ground, like pounding garlic.

At that moment, thousands of people stepped out from the dense crowd.

Among them were elderly people in their eighties and small children.

They were all family members of the five hundred guards—

wives, children, and aged parents.

The crowd knelt behind Tan Yun, tears streaming down their faces as they begged.

“Young Master Tan, please spare my son! We will never forget this kindness!”

“Young Master Tan, please spare my husband!”

“Brother Tan Yun, please let my father go… sob…”

The sound of crying echoed continuously.

The fist Tan Yun had clenched slowly loosened.

The killing intent on his face gradually faded away.

After a long silence—

Tan Yun’s cold gaze swept across the five hundred guards.

“Remember this!”

“The reason I spared your lives is because of your families!”

“If anyone dares to offend the Tan Family again in the future, I will show no mercy!”

“Thank you, Young Master Tan, for sparing our lives!”

The guards bowed gratefully. After rising to their feet, they looked at Tan Yun with deep respect before returning to their families.

Suddenly, Tan Yun shouted loudly:

“Listen to my orders!”

He turned to the two hundred Tan Family guards.

“First! Immediately wipe out the Situ Family residence and the Liu Family residence!”

“Except for the servants, kill every other relative who fled to the outer residences!”

“If they flee to the outer houses—kill them!”

“If they hide in basements—kill them!”

“Remember this… leave not a single survivor!”

Tan Yun spoke in an icy voice.

“Second! All shops and businesses belonging to these two families will now be transferred under the name of the Tan Family. Anyone who dares to resist… may be killed without mercy!”

Upon hearing these orders, Tan Changchun, Tan Feng, and Feng Jingru hesitated for a moment, but in the end, none of them spoke.

“Yes, Young Master!”

The two hundred Tan Family guards were filled with excitement and determination as they immediately rushed toward the Liu Family residence and the Situ Family residence.

Then Tan Yun turned toward the hundreds of family heads standing among the townspeople and spoke coldly:

“Anyone who dares to hide members of those two families—remember my words clearly…”

“I will exterminate your entire family.”

“W-we wouldn’t dare!”

The family heads turned pale with fear, their bodies trembling.

“Yun’er, quickly return to the residence. Mother will invite Alchemist Bai to treat your injuries.”

Feng Jingru said with teary eyes when she saw how seriously Tan Yun was injured.

“Mother, I can heal my own injuries. Don’t worry.”

Tan Yun replied weakly, his face pale.

Afterward, Feng Jingru supported him back to the residence until they reached the Cloud Pavilion.

Tan Yun staggered onto the bed and sat down. Enduring the intense pain throughout his body, he closed his eyes and entered meditation.

Because his body had once been tempered by the Primordial Chaos Divine Liquid, his recovery speed was ten times faster than that of ordinary people.

At this moment, the wounds all over his body were slowly healing at a rate almost invisible to the naked eye.

Night passed.

The sky was filled with countless stars, and the bright moon hung high above.

The Tan Family guards who had completed their mission gradually returned to the Tan residence, lining up neatly beneath the Cloud Pavilion.

Behind them were more than a hundred servants of the Tan Family.

Everyone looked up toward Tan Yun’s room on the second floor, their eyes filled with concern.

Tan Yun was the one who had saved and protected them.

The only thing they wished for was that their young master would recover soon.

Inside the second-floor room,

Tan Changchun, Tan Feng, and Feng Jingru stared at Tan Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, with shock and excitement.

Because after resting for only half a day, the three broken ribs in Tan Yun’s body and the wounds across his body had already begun to heal.

After their initial shock faded, the three of them were filled with confusion.

They had no idea what kind of great opportunity Tan Yun had encountered that allowed him to throw away the title of “good-for-nothing”, and even possess such astonishing healing ability.

As the night deepened…

Tan Changchun and Tan Feng then left the room to discuss how to quickly take over and continue operating the businesses they had seized from the two families.

Meanwhile, Feng Jingru remained by Tan Yun’s side, refusing to leave even for a single step…

Ten days later

The news of the massacre of the Situ Family and the Liu Family became the main topic of conversation throughout the entire city.

Whenever people mentioned Tan Yun’s name, their faces would turn pale.

The fact that he had personally killed the heads of the two great families alone left the townspeople both shocked and terrified.

Even the hundreds of family heads in the city were intimidated to the point that none of them dared to make any moves.

From that moment on,

the “good-for-nothing” who had once been ridiculed

had become the number one genius of Wangyue City.

The downfall of the two great families had become a crucial stepping stone for the Tan Family to rise and dominate Wangyue City.

Seeing the situation unfold like this,

hundreds of family heads brought precious gifts to the Tan residence, hoping to build relations with the Tan Family and befriend Tan Yun.

Because they believed that

as long as Tan Yun did not die young,

his future would be limitless in glory.

As a result, the Tan residence was filled with visitors coming and going without end.

The newly appointed steward had to stay busy constantly welcoming guests…

Cloud Pavilion

After recuperating for ten days,

Tan Yun’s physical injuries had completely healed.

However, because his soul had suffered severe damage, his face was still pale as paper, and from time to time he experienced intense headaches.

“Sigh…”

Tan Yun let out a long breath, his heart still trembling with lingering fear.

From now on, unless absolutely necessary,

he would never again use the forbidden technique of burning his soul in battle.

“Yun’er, you’re awake.”

Feng Jingru walked in carrying a bowl of chicken soup, her face filled with joy.

“Mother made chicken soup for you. Drink it while it’s hot.”

Tan Yun could tell that beneath his mother’s smile, there was deep concern hidden within.

After quickly finishing the bowl of chicken soup,

Tan Yun gently held Feng Jingru’s hand and spoke softly:

“Mother… are you worried that Liu Rulong will return to take revenge on the Tan Family?”

“Mm…”

Feng Jingru sighed softly.

“Mother, don’t worry. I’m not going to sit here waiting for death.”

Tan Yun’s eyes were firm.

“In one month, the Huangfu Sacred Sect will open its disciple recruitment in Yunliu City. Wangyue City is far from there, so I plan to set out immediately.”

“No!”

Feng Jingru shook her head instantly, panic filling her voice.

“Mother will not allow it!”

“The disciple selection of the Huangfu Sacred Sect is extremely brutal. Every time it happens, countless people are injured or killed.”

“You are Mother’s only son. I cannot let you take such a risk!”
