In the Zhan Mansion, Reception Hall, the elderly Zhan Rong stood up from the main seat, facing the numerous heads of families from the Supreme Divine City. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you all for coming to congratulate this old man."
"The night is already late, so everyone should return home to rest."
“It’s getting late, everyone should head back and rest early.”
Hearing this, the heads of families all echoed in agreement.
Zhan Rong turned to Zhan Peng and said, “Peng’er, go see the esteemed guests off.”
“Yes, Father.” Zhan Peng responded and smiled as he escorted the heads of families out of the mansion.
“Zhan family master, please wait.”
When Zhan Peng turned to step back into the mansion, a panting voice came from behind.
Zhan Peng glanced back to see a guard wearing the attire of the Divine King’s Mansion, drenched in sweat, approaching.
Zhan Peng often visited the Divine King’s Mansion, so he recognized the guard.
“小四, what happened?” Zhan Peng raised an eyebrow and inquired.
The guard called Xiao Si hurriedly said in a low voice, “Zhan family master, our Divine King Lord said he caught the person you wanted to kill. You are to go to the Supreme Military City immediately.”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Peng was initially taken aback, then his heart stirred with excitement. “Brother Bai said he caught the person I wanted to kill, it must be Jing Yun!”
“Alright, this family master knows. I will head to the Supreme Military City shortly!”
After the guard left, Zhan Peng hurried back into the mansion and arrived at the Reception Hall. He said to the drunken Zhan Rong, “Father, good news, tremendous good news!”
“What is it, Peng’er?” Zhan Rong asked curiously, “You’re so excited.”
Zhan Peng said, “Father, the Supreme Divine King sent word that Jing Yun, that beast, has been caught!”
“What? Good, that’s wonderful!” Zhan Rong’s drunkenness vanished as he gritted his teeth and said, “That scoundrel Jing Yun killed my eldest and second grandsons; he deserves to die!”
“I will go with you to make sure this beast gets a thousand cuts!”
Hearing this, Zhan Peng said, “Father, there are many matters to handle at home. You don’t need to go. I will capture Jing Yun alive and bring him back.”
“At that time, you can decide how to deal with him!”
After listening, Zhan Rong nodded, “Alright, I will listen to you. You hurry and go, return quickly!”
“Okay, I’ll be off.” Zhan Peng turned and left.
Not long after, Zhan Peng stepped out of the mansion, unaware that a pair of eyes on the street witnessed his departure.
The owner of these eyes was Tan Yun!
“Su Bing, from Zhan Peng’s excited expression, I can tell he has fallen for it,” Tan Yun transmitted. “He must believe the Supreme Divine King has captured me and won’t suspect any deception.”
From Zhan Peng’s expression, Tan Yun could see the change in his mindset and confirmed that Zhan Peng had been fooled.
Tan Yun felt very confident in his judgment.
“Su Bing, once he’s far enough, we’ll make our move!” Tan Yun transmitted.
…
A moment later, Tan Yun transmitted, “Su Bing, if Zhan Peng wants to reach the Supreme Military City, he first needs to go to the Hall of Time and Space in the Supreme Divine City and use the teleportation array to reach the Primordial Chaos Divine City, and then from there enter the teleportation array to the Supreme Military City.”
“With his speed, it will take him half an hour to get from the Zhan Mansion to the Hall of Time and Space in the Supreme Divine City.”
“A moment has already passed; he should be far gone.”
“Let’s move! Quick battle, quick resolution!”
After the transmission, Tan Yun and Shen Subing emerged from the street corner, transforming into two fleeting shadows, swiftly appearing outside the Zhan Mansion.
“Who goes there?” the two guards inquired.
“Puff, puff!”
Blood light flashed, and Shen Subing, wielding the time-space divine sword, pierced through the skulls of the two guards.
