In front of Zhan Zusheng's corpse, there were blood-written words: "Father, today in the main hall, I and Xuanqi insulted Yuwen Divine King. He remembers this."
The atmosphere grew heavy, and a sense of foreboding filled the air as the reality of the situation settled in.
"How could this happen?" a voice trembled, filled with disbelief.
The supreme divine king's expression darkened as he looked at the gathered crowd, his presence commanding silence.
"Yuwen Shu must pay for this," he declared, his tone resolute and filled with an unyielding determination.
The onlookers exchanged glances, sensing the storm brewing within the supreme divine king.
They knew that the consequences of this act would ripple through the realms, sparking a fierce retribution.
In the shadows, a figure observed quietly, calculating the reactions of those around.
Tan Yun, feeling the weight of the impending conflict, understood that this was just the beginning of a greater struggle.
As the tension escalated, alliances would be forged and broken, and the balance of power would shift dramatically.
The memory image flickered before fading away, leaving an ominous silence in its wake.
"What will you do next?" a voice broke the silence, filled with concern and curiosity.
The supreme divine king's gaze turned icy, determination burning in his eyes as he prepared to unleash his wrath.
"Prepare for war," he commanded, his voice echoing with authority.
With that, the wheels of fate began to turn, setting in motion events that would change the course of their lives forever.
At this moment, Zhan Peng released a burst of divine power, condensing another memory image, showing Zhan Zusheng writing on a normal day.
After comparing, Lingxia celestial master furrowed her brows and said, “It’s true, the blood-written message from Zhan Zusheng indeed came from his hand.”
“Yuwen Divine King, do you have anything to say?”
Yuwen Divine King said, “Reporting to your excellency, if it were truly my subordinate’s doing, how could he be foolish enough to give Zhan Zusheng time to write a will?”
Zhan Peng reprimanded, “This is exactly your treachery! You did this on purpose!”
“Old man Yuwen, you killed my last son, I want your life!”
Yuwen Divine King angrily retorted, “I said I didn’t kill him, I truly didn’t…”
“Enough, everyone be quiet.” Lingxia celestial master waved her hand, and the three fell silent.
At this moment, Lingxia celestial master seemed to think of something and asked, “Do you all know if anyone left the Guest Hall during the wedding banquet?”
Zhan Peng angrily pointed at Yuwen Divine King, “Your excellency, it was him who left! He was the first to leave!”
At this time, Titan Divine King thundered, “Your excellency, after Yuwen Divine King left, Bai Cheng Divine King and Jing Yun also left.”
Hearing that Tan Yun had left, Zhan Peng and the supreme divine king suddenly turned their gaze to Tan Yun.
Zhan Peng sternly said, “Jing Yun, if my son and daughter-in-law weren’t killed by Yuwen Divine King, then it must be you who killed them and framed Yuwen Divine King!”
“You are the only one with a grudge against me and my son and daughter-in-law!”
“That’s right!” The supreme divine king said: “Jing Yun, I did not kill Yuwen Shu, it must be you who stole the credit!”
“Haha.” Tan Yun smiled lightly, “Gentlemen, meals can be eaten chaotically, but words cannot be spoken so carelessly.”
“Zhan family head, besides, your eldest son and second son wanted to kill me back then, but they were both killed by me. How could I have the face to kill your third son too?”
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was stunned!
Only then did everyone realize that Zhan Peng’s eldest son and second son both died at Tan Yun's hands.
Seeing Lingxia celestial master frown, Tan Yun turned and bowed, saying, “Master, back then those two sons wanted to kill me, I had no choice but to kill them for self-preservation.”
“Hmm.” Lingxia celestial master said: “If it’s as you say, the fault does not lie with you, then you have nothing to worry about.”
