Tan Yun knelt and trembled as he said, “Yes... yes, immortal emperor sir.”
Fang Rulong took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth, “Speak! What exactly happened? Isn’t Tan Yun at the emperor sovereign realm? How could he possibly kill the steward!”
“My lord, our steward possesses a cultivation level of eleventh level in the great emperor realm!”
“Also, Bai Yuan, the grand marshal of Xiahou Immortal City, is also at the eleventh level of the great emperor realm. Besides that, this emperor has heard that Bai Yuan’s two sons are also at the level of great emperor strength. How could they be dead?”
Upon hearing this, Ji Boyuan replied truthfully, “Reporting to the immortal emperor, Tan Yun was indeed at the emperor sovereign realm several decades ago, but now he is at the first stage of the great emperor realm.”
“Bai Yuan's two sons were both killed by Tan Yun in an instant. I discovered through my immortal sense that although Tan Yun is at the first stage of the great emperor realm, he possesses the strength to challenge those at the eleventh level of the great emperor realm.”
“Furthermore, the master of the eternal life immortal sect in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea, Shangguan Chong, calls Tan Yun 'big brother.' This person is an accomplice.”
After hearing this, Fang Rulong's eyes were filled not only with anger but also with disbelief and shock. “Who exactly is this Tan Yun? To advance to the great emperor realm in such a short time.”
“If what you said is true, then he isn’t just at the first stage of the great emperor realm. He must be hiding his true strength!”
“Tan Yun, Shangguan Chong, I will definitely capture you both and make your lives worse than death!”
Fang Rulong looked at Ji Boyuan and coldly said, “You may leave.”
“I take my leave.” Ji Boyuan got up from the ground and left.
Fang Rulong then ordered his men to go to Xiahou Immortal City and have City Lord Xiahou Shu gather the eight city lords, excluding Ouyang Duantian, to lead the heavenly soldiers to the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea and make sure to capture Tan Yun alive!
The reason for not letting Ouyang Duantian go was that in just over eleven months, it would be the day of his wedding with his daughter.
When Xiahou Shu learned that Tan Yun had killed his subordinate Bai Yuan in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea, he became furious!
His anger did not stem from Tan Yun, but from Bai Yuan!
He never expected that his subordinate Bai Yuan, after learning of Tan Yun's presence in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sea, would not inform him but would secretly attempt to kill Tan Yun to gain favor with the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor!
“Damn it, Bai Yuan, you deserve to die!” Xiahou Shu roared in the hall, unable to contain his fury.
At this moment, a beautiful woman with a captivating presence, radiating the aura of the third stage of the great emperor realm, stepped into the hall.
This woman was none other than Xiahou Shu's daughter, Xiahou Xuan.
“Father, what happened?” Xiahou Xuan asked.
Xiahou Shu then told Xiahou Xuan about Bai Yuan's death.
“Father, there's no need to be angry.” Xiahou Xuan said with a cold smile, “It's not worth it to get upset over such a person.”
Immediately, a look of shock appeared in Xiahou Xuan's beautiful eyes, “Who exactly is this Tan Yun?”
“When I first met him at the City Alliance headquarters, he was just an insignificant ant, and now his strength has become so terrifying.”
Xiahou Shu said in a deep voice, “No matter what, I must capture Tan Yun!”
“The immortal emperor values our Xiahou Immortal City the most. If I fail to capture Tan Yun, I would have no face to meet the immortal emperor.”
After saying this, Xiahou Shu looked at Xiahou Xuan and a smile appeared on his face, “Xuan'er, congratulations on breaking through to the third stage of the great emperor realm.”
Xiahou Xuan showed no joy from her breakthrough; instead, her eyes were filled with malice and jealousy, “Father, why is the immortal emperor so good to Ouyang Qianqian?”
