Against The Sky Supreme

“Then tell me, how did my father die?” Celestial Master Mu Zhen asked.

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng Divine King’s old body trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly said, “Your Excellency, your father achieved great military merit in the past; he died heroically on the battlefield.”

“I want you to tell me the truth!” Celestial Master Mu Zhen’s voice became colder.

“Your Excellency, please do not be angry; what I said is the truth,” Bai Cheng Divine King bowed.

At this moment, Tan Yun spoke up: “I can see that you are lying. Just tell the truth.”

Seeing Tan Yun speak, although Bai Cheng Divine King was confused about how Tan Yun knew the truth behind Celestial Master Mu Zhen’s father’s death, he still answered honestly, “Yun'er, it’s not that I don’t want to say, but it’s the order of Celestial Master Lingxia; anyone who reveals it will be killed without mercy!”

“Speak!” Celestial Master Mu Zhen drew a sword and placed it against Bai Cheng Divine King's neck, coldly saying, “If you don’t speak, you will die right now!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng Divine King looked at Celestial Master Mu Zhen with a distressed expression and said, “I can speak, but you must keep it a secret for me, or I will be torn to pieces by Celestial Master Lingxia!”

“Alright, I promise I won’t tell anyone it was you who said it,” Celestial Master Mu Zhen sheathed her Divine Sword and said, “You can speak now.”

Bai Cheng Divine King said truthfully, “Your father was killed by Celestial Master Lingxia and Chaos Celestial Master.”

“At that time, they thought your father had hidden a remnant soul of the primeval supreme. No matter how your father explained, the couple didn’t believe him, ultimately leading to his death.”

“Later, after Celestial Master Lingxia realized the mistake, she came to you and accepted you as her eldest disciple, wanting to make up for her wrongdoing.”

“She also ordered that anyone with knowledge of this must not speak of it, or their nine clans would be exterminated.”

Upon hearing this, Celestial Master Mu Zhen’s eyes filled with tears, and her graceful figure trembled continuously; one could imagine the fury in her heart!

“The hatred for killing my father cannot coexist with the world; Celestial Master Lingxia, I must kill you!” Celestial Master Mu Zhen cried sorrowfully.

“Please, you go out first,” Tan Yun said, “I’ll stay with her.”

“Alright.” After Bai Cheng Divine King left, Tan Yun looked at the weeping Celestial Master Mu Zhen and comforted her, “Don’t be too sad; Celestial Master Lingxia is an enemy we both share. In the future, we will take revenge together.”

“Wuwu…” Celestial Master Mu Zhen cried, suddenly throwing herself into Tan Yun’s embrace, sobbing loudly, “I never expected that I would recognize the murderer of my father as my master for countless years.”

Tan Yun sighed softly and gently patted Celestial Master Mu Zhen’s back.

After a long while, Celestial Master Mu Zhen stopped crying. Upon realizing she was being held by Tan Yun, a hint of shyness appeared on her cheeks, and she stepped back, respectfully saying, “I greet the supreme lord.”

“I’m not a supreme lord now,” Tan Yun chuckled bitterly and said, “Right now, I am still your junior brother, and you are still my senior sister.”

“In the future, let’s kill Celestial Master Lingxia and Chaos Celestial Master together!”

“Mm.” Celestial Master Mu Zhen nodded, wiping away her tears, but her gaze towards Tan Yun revealed an uncontrollable fear.

Upon discovering Tan Yun’s identity, she subconsciously feared him.

“Are you afraid of me? I won’t eat you; what’s there to be afraid of?” Tan Yun joked.

“Ah!” Celestial Master Mu Zhen’s eyes widened, and her stunning face revealed a hint of feminine shyness.

“Ahem, she can’t really have feelings for me, right?” Tan Yun was taken aback.

At this moment, Celestial Master Mu Zhen said, “I’ve stayed here long enough; I need to leave.”
