At this moment, upon learning that Tan Yun had returned, Bai Cheng Divine King hurriedly stepped into the Guest Hall. When he saw the scene before him, he broke out in a cold sweat and exclaimed, "Celestial Master your excellency, what... what are you doing?!"
"This has nothing to do with you, leave!" Celestial Master Mu Zhen reprimanded.
With a flick of her delicate hand, she pushed through the air. "Boom!" Amidst the collapsing void, an invisible and powerful force struck Bai Cheng Divine King's chest.
Bai Cheng Divine King's face turned pale, and he was blasted out of the Guest Hall, stumbling back three steps before managing to steady himself!
With a bang, the hall doors closed.
As Bai Cheng Divine King attempted to use divine consciousness to convey a message to Tan Yun, he realized that the Guest Hall had been shielded by a barrier, rendering him unable to communicate.
"What to do... what should I do?!" Bai Cheng Divine King paced anxiously.
The very thing he feared the most had indeed come true!
He was now certain that Celestial Master Mu Zhen knew that Tan Yun was the murderer!
In the Guest Hall.
"Senior sister..." Tan Yun had just opened his mouth when he was immediately reprimanded by Celestial Master Mu Zhen: "Don't call me senior sister!"
"Speak! Why did you cruelly massacre the relatives of Liu Yun Divine King, Jiang Long Divine King, and Titan Divine King, and ruthlessly wash the Ma Residence and Gongsun Residence in blood?"
Hearing this, Tan Yun thought to himself, "After I killed, even the auras of Zi Shan and I were erased. She can't possibly know I'm the murderer; she must be trying to deceive me."
With that in mind, Tan Yun shook his head and replied, "Senior sister, you must be mistaken. I have never killed anyone."
"Jing Yun, if you want people to not know, you must first not do it. Yet you still dare to deny it!" Celestial Master Mu Zhen trembled with rage.
"Senior sister, I really have not killed anyone," Tan Yun insisted earnestly.
"Alright, since you refuse to admit it, I will make you understand thoroughly!" Celestial Master Mu Zhen said coldly: "Tell me, have you ever been to Titan Divine City, Flowing Cloud Divine City, Jiang Long Divine City, or Azure Sun Divine City?"
"I have never been there," Tan Yun replied immediately. "I have been training all these years. If you don't believe me, you can search my memories."
"Never been there? Search your memories?" Celestial Master Mu Zhen laughed in anger, "You probably erased the memories of killing, right?"
"Senior sister, you are really wronging me," Tan Yun said, showing a sincere expression.
"You are extremely shameless and still want to argue!" Celestial Master Mu Zhen's gaze grew colder, "Then I will present evidence now to prove you are the murderer!"
She held a sword in her right hand, pressing it against Tan Yun’s throat, while her soft left arm gently brushed, conjuring an image of a memory.
In the image, it was indeed Jiang Long Divine City, at the Divine King's Mansion.
On the blood-stained ground, a shallow bloody footprint came into Tan Yun's view, and he noticed the character "Jing" on it.
Tan Yun frowned and said, "Senior sister, you don't really think that just based on the character 'Jing' on a bloody footprint, you can determine I'm the murderer, do you?"
"There is more than one person with the surname Jing in the entire Primordial Chaos Divine Realm, and besides, there are so many bloody footprints on the ground; perhaps they were left by someone else."
Hearing this, Celestial Master Mu Zhen spoke coldly: "That's right, with just this character 'Jing', I can determine you are the murderer."
"Because this character 'Jing' came from my hand!"
After hearing this, Tan Yun seemed to realize something and his heart sank, "Oh no, could it be that the battle boots she gave me have the character 'Jing' engraved on the bottom?"
With that thought, Tan Yun glanced at his battle boots. He knew that any further arguments would be futile.
Taking a deep breath, Tan Yun looked at Celestial Master Mu Zhen and said solemnly, "You're right! I did it; I killed them all!"
