An hour later, above the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden's pavilions, a deep and thunderous roar resonated, "Tan Yun, get out here!"
It was Elder Twelve, stepping on his Flying Sword, exuding a chilling killing intent as he approached!
Hearing this, over eight hundred disposable disciples in the pavilions were in an uproar.
"Who is Tan Yun?" Lu Wu glared at the disciples, "Stand up!"
The disciples trembled and no one answered.
"Are you all mute?" Lu Wu's anger flared, randomly pointing at a disposable disciple, "Don't make me ask a second time. Say, who is Tan Yun!"
The disposable disciple stammered, "Reporting to Elder Twelve, Senior Brother Tan is seriously injured and was taken away by Elder Shen."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Wu had disappeared from above the pavilions.
Moments later.
Shen Qingfeng had just returned with Tan Yun to the back mountain courtyard and was preparing to settle Tan Yun into the side room when Lu Wu suddenly descended into the courtyard, stepping on his Flying Sword beneath the hazy night sky.
"Shen Qingfeng, hand over that scoundrel Tan Yun to me!" Lu Wu's eyes were filled with killing intent as he said sternly.
"Elder Twelve, I am afraid I cannot comply," Shen Qingfeng turned around holding Tan Yun, looking at Lu Wu without any fear.
"You dare!" Lu Wu pointed angrily at Shen Qingfeng, "Tan Yun killed my disciple Li Zian. He violated the sect rules. I must bring him to justice, how can you obstruct me!"
"Hmph." Shen Qingfeng snorted coldly, "Elder Twelve, I advise you to clarify the situation first before you come to blame me!"
"Mm?" Lu Wu suppressed his anger, advancing forward to tear Tan Yun apart, speaking harshly, "Li Zian was killed by Tan Yun, that is an irrefutable fact. Elder Shen, shouldn’t I take action against him?"
Shen Qingfeng spoke with indifference, "Elder Twelve, first of all, it was Li Zian who challenged Tan Yun to a life-and-death duel, and as a result, he was killed by Tan Yun. What right do you have to come and demand him from me?"
"This..." Lu Wu was taken aback, a glint of cunning flashed through his eyes as he questioned, "Just based on your word, how do I know the truth? You should hand him over to me; I want to search his memories."
Lu Wu made up his mind; even if what Shen Qingfeng said was true, he would play tricks when searching Tan Yun's memories to eliminate Tan Yun's soul!
Shen Qingfeng, having lived for over three hundred years, had seen all kinds of storms and had already guessed that Lu Wu was up to no good.
"Elder Twelve, right now, Tan Yun is seriously injured and it is not easy for someone to search his soul. I am sorry, but I cannot agree to that." Shen Qingfeng replied, "Furthermore, you do not need to search Tan Yun's memories because I personally witnessed the duel between Li Zian and Tan Yun."
"Shen Qingfeng, stop talking nonsense. I must personally check Tan Yun's memories!" Lu Wu's face turned ashen, "Are you going to give him to me or not?"
"I cannot comply!" Shen Qingfeng said firmly.
"Shen Qingfeng, you are being unreasonable!" Lu Wu shouted, "You are just a mere elder; do you really dare to defy my orders?"
Shen Qingfeng slightly narrowed his eyes, cold light flickering within, "Elder Twelve, what if I am just a mere elder? Is it me who is defying orders, or you who is being overbearing? You know in your heart."
"I will tell you, stop causing trouble in my Azure Spirit Immortal Mountain!" Shen Qingfeng's gaze turned icy, "You are not welcome here. Please leave! Otherwise, I will not hesitate to drag you to the chief elder for judgment!"
"You want to demand my disciple Li Zian, who was recklessly killed in a duel with my Spirit Mountain Herb Garden disciples, and you dare come to me for him! What right do you have? Hmph, this is truly laughable!"
"Speaking of which, I am the elder of the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden, unique among the elders of the Danmai. I humbly refer to myself as a subordinate in front of you, yet you really think I am your subordinate? You shout and scream at me!"
