He informed everyone through voice transmission about the upcoming event in two days, where they would accompany Bai Cheng Divine King to the Primordial Chaos Divine City to attend the wansui birthday celebration of Celestial Master Lingxia's children.
Then, a flicker of brilliance flashed in Tan Yun's eyes as he transmitted, "Su Bing, you all continue your training here. I will find a way to persuade Bai Cheng Divine King to allow me to take this Nine Stars Divine Tower with me."
"This way, it won't affect your training."
"Wait for me here; I will be back within a day at most."
Shen Subing replied, "Okay, husband."
Afterward, Tan Yun stepped out of the Nine Stars Divine Tower and transformed into a shadow, shooting towards the sky. The moment he appeared among the clouds, he used the invisibility technique and vanished.
Immediately, Tan Yun released a divine consciousness comparable to a fifth-class half-saint, covering the Nine Stars Divine Tower where Shen Subing and others were training.
Tan Yun had always been cautious in his actions. He knew that many people wanted to harm him, so before he left, he had to verify if anyone would attempt to strike at those close to him after he departed.
Sure enough!
A moment later, Tan Yun discovered through his divine consciousness that two eight-star divine soldiers were sneaking down from the void, attempting to enter the tower.
"Damn it!" Tan Yun cursed quietly. In the next moment, he descended from the sky and appeared at the tower's entrance, blocking the path of the two and darkly asking, "What are you two up to?"
Faced with Tan Yun's sudden appearance, the two were clearly startled.
One of them said, "Nothing, we just want to enter and train."
Tan Yun pointed a finger at the words "Someone is in seclusion" that appeared on the tower wall and said coldly, "Open your eyes and see clearly; there's someone inside. Why do you want to go in?"
"Didn't you two just wait for me to leave before coming in? Were you planning to strike at my people?"
At this moment, one of the eight-star divine soldiers harshly retorted, "Jing Yun, don't slander us!"
"Primordial Divine Eye!"
Once Tan Yun confirmed that there was no one else around, two eerie red lights erupted from his eyes, leaving the two men stunned as if turned to stone.
"Speak, why are you here?" Tan Yun's unquestionable voice resounded in their minds.
The two answered in unison, "We were worried that we are no match for you, so we wanted to capture someone close to you to threaten you."
"Who is the mastermind behind this?" Tan Yun asked again.
"It’s..." Just as the two were about to respond, a powerful aura descended from the sky and landed on them.
Their bodies were instantly obliterated!
Tan Yun suddenly looked up at the sky and found that the powerful aura had dissipated without a trace, and there was no one in the sky.
Obviously, they had been silenced!
From the aura, Tan Yun could tell that the one who had killed the two must be a fifth-class half-saint!
With a fierce gaze, Tan Yun thought, "This person must be the minor divine general Liang Li!"
"Liang Li, once my strength increases, I will definitely catch you!"
"Swoosh!"
At that moment, a beam of white light descended from the sky and transformed into a young man in a white robe before Tan Yun.
It was Liang Li.
At a glance, Tan Yun could see that Liang Li was a fifth-class half-saint. At this moment, he was even more certain that the person who had just killed was Liang Li.
Liang Li pointed angrily at Tan Yun and sternly said, "Jing Yun, how dare you kill innocents in broad daylight! According to military regulations, you should face immediate execution!"
"Immediate execution? Hehe, minor divine general, you're just in time." Tan Yun sneered, "What a good frame-up. Just now, I sensed the aura of the killer as a fifth-class half-saint, and you happen to be a fifth-class half-saint. Is this just a coincidence?"
"Minor divine general, you really are capable. You want to send two people to deal with me, then kill them to frame me, and then eliminate me?"
