Tan Yun's expression remained emotionless as he said, "I can't help but kill you. However, considering you've said so much, I can give you a quick relief."
Tan Yun swung his right arm, and a blade made of spiritual power ruthlessly severed Cheng Yaozuan's throat!
Looking at the ground, blood gushed out, staining the earth. The lifeless body of Cheng Yaozuan fell, his eyes wide open in disbelief, reflecting the final moments of his life.
Tan Yun stood silently, his gaze cold and unfazed as he observed the scene. This was not just a simple execution; it was a demonstration of power.
In the depths of the Spirit Mountain, the echoes of the chaos slowly faded, leaving behind an eerie silence that wrapped around the surroundings like a shroud.
After a moment, Tan Yun turned away, his mind already planning the next steps in the unfolding power struggle within the sect. Each decision, each action would shape the future, and he needed to ensure he was always one step ahead.
The realm of cultivation was filled with dangers and betrayals, and only the strongest would survive. Tan Yun understood this all too well and was prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
"You didn't make a move against me, so naturally I won't kill you," Tan Yun squinted at the twenty people. "However, regarding the matter of you insulting me, I will certainly settle the score."
After speaking, Tan Yun glanced at the hundreds of people eyeing the twenty with hostility and said in a deep voice, "It seems they bullied you quite a bit while following Cheng Yaozuan. Very well, I’ll give you a chance to vent your anger."
"Break one leg of each of them, just don't kill them!"
After finishing, Tan Yun walked towards the nearby bamboo forest, and behind him, the sound of screams akin to that of slaughtering pigs echoed…
In the bamboo forest, Tan Yun leaned back on a finely carved stone chair, pondering why Li Zian wanted to put him to death.
After some thought, Tan Yun concluded that this person was likely bought off by the inner sect law enforcement elder, or the elder two from the Beast Spirit Lineage, or even the holy spirit chief.
"Li Zian, you better not fall into my hands!" A cold light flickered in Tan Yun's starry eyes; this person must not be left alive!
"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."
A chaotic sound of footsteps drew closer; under the setting sun, more than eight hundred disposable disciples from the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden stood far in front of Tan Yun, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at him.
Tan Yun got up from his chair, and as he took a step forward, everyone nervously stepped back.
Tan Yun shrugged and smiled kindly, "Everyone, don't be afraid. Do you think I would eat you?"
"You should just do what you need to do. As long as you don’t provoke me, I will naturally treat you with respect."
"Oh right, I just arrived and don't know what to do. I would appreciate if you could inform me."
Upon hearing this, everyone secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"Senior Brother Tan, my name is Zhou Run." A small-statured disciple respectfully approached Tan Yun. "Senior Brother Tan, since you just arrived, the priority is to go to the back mountain 'Spirit Garden Pavilion' to report to Elder Shen."
"After reporting, Elder Shen will assign you a sect uniform, arrange housing, divide the spiritual herb cultivation area, and assign you a monthly task of how many spiritual herbs to submit."
After listening, Tan Yun thanked him and then said, "Junior Brother Zhou, please bury Cheng Yaozuan's body."
"Alright, I will go do that." As Zhou Run turned, he was called back by Tan Yun.
"This is your reward."
Tan Yun waved his hand, and a white light beam fell into Zhou Run's hand, transforming into a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
"Senior Brother Tan, this, this is not appropriate." Zhou Run was momentarily stunned and quickly replied.
As a disposable disciple, he only received three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones a month, which was equivalent to about three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
Zhou Run wasn't foolish; in his eyes, Tan Yun was already the boss of the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden. How could he dare accept the spirit stone?
