Upon hearing this, Tan Yun's towering figure trembled violently, and he immediately released his immortal sense, discovering that Ouyang Qianqian's great emperor soul deep within her mind was indeed enveloped by a halo radiating divine light!
"Supreme Lord, if you still don't believe me, I'll show you the memory image from when I was talking to Qianqian!" Ouyang Duantian shouted, waving his right arm, and a burst of celestial power materialized into a memory image from the void.
"Clang!" With a sound, the long sword in Ouyang Qianqian's hand, stained with Tan Yun's fresh blood, fell to the ground.
Tears streamed down Ouyang Qianqian's face as she murmured, "Tan Yun... I'm sorry, truly sorry, it's only like this that you will hate me!"
"It's only like this that you will leave... I want to go with you too, but if I leave, what will happen to the City Lord's Mansion... what will happen to the people of Skyreach Immortal City... wuwu..."
Crying, Ouyang Qianqian raised her head and glared at Ouyang Duantian, "Father, why did you save me? Why!"
"Do you know? To die at the hands of the one I love, daughter has no regrets!"
"Wuwu... if I am killed by Tan Yun, then I can finally put an end to it!"
The memory image came to an end, and at some unknown time, Tan Yun's giant eyes were already filled with tears.
Tan Yun quickly loosened his grip on Ouyang Qianqian with his left hand and carefully cradled her with both hands. He looked down at her deformed body that he had clenched, and enormous tears rolled down his face. "Qianqian, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"How are you feeling now? It's my fault; I almost killed you."
Ouyang Qianqian, with blood flowing from her seven orifices, weakly shook her head, her blood tears, which contained happiness, flowed gently down her pale cheeks. "Tan Yun, don't cry, I'm fine, really fine."
"I'm just feeling very tired and want to rest."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll take you into the Pavilion of Ascending to the Heavens to heal your injuries."
"Girl, after I deal with the enemies, I will properly atone to you."
Ouyang Qianqian weakly nodded, then seemed to think of something and said, "Tan Yun, when the time comes, leave Xiahou Shu alive; he was the one who killed Aunt Zhen and Uncle Zhen."
"Okay, I remember. I'll take you into the Pavilion of Ascending to the Heavens now," Tan Yun said.
"Mm." Ouyang Qianqian replied softly, looking at the still-kneeling Ouyang Duantian, she said gently, "Father, please get up quickly, promise me you'll stand with Tan Yun and help him fight the enemy."
"Don't worry, Father will." Ouyang Duantian responded while still kneeling in the void.
In his heart, Tan Yun was the primeval supreme, and he did not dare to rise without Tan Yun's permission.
"Ouyang Uncle, please rise." Tan Yun said.
"Alright, alright, alright." Hearing Tan Yun call him Uncle, Ouyang Duantian's heart blossomed with joy.
Meanwhile, Fang Rulong's face turned red with anger, his whole body trembling as he barked like a dog, "Woof woof woof!"
He was so furious he could explode!
To him, Tan Yun was stealing the woman who was about to become his wife!
"I’m so angry I could die, this is infuriating!" Fang Rulong roared, "Tan Yun, today I will fight you to the death!"
"To the death? Hahaha, just what I want!" After laughing wildly, Tan Yun said solemnly, "Su Bing, Zhen Ji, Yingying, third brother, come out!"
"Buzz buzz—"
In the trembling void, the crowd saw three women and a masked man materializing out of thin air next to Tan Yun.
Tan Yun looked at Ouyang Duantian and said, "Uncle, you should also enter my Pavilion of Ascending to the Heavens."
"Supreme Lord, I want to accompany you in battle." Ouyang Duantian replied, his gaze fixating on Zhen Ji, "Great! Niece Zhen, you are not dead."
Zhen Ji coldly said, "Ouyang City Lord, once the truth is clarified, if you truly didn't kill my adoptive parents, you can call me niece then."
"Zhen Ji?" Fang Rulong furrowed his brows, "Wasn't my father supposed to have locked you in the Abandoned Land? How did you get out?"
