“Who are the two of you?”
As the guards at the gate saw the sudden appearance of Tan Yun after changing his appearance, and Yuyan in a red dress, they asked with curiosity.
Tan Yun glanced at the guards and smiled lightly, “We are here to visit the Divine King's Mansion.”
The guards exchanged looks, sensing the unusual aura emanating from the two.
“Please wait a moment,” one of the guards said and hurriedly ran inside to report.
After a while, the guard returned and waved his hand, “You may enter.”
Tan Yun and Yuyan nodded and walked through the grand gates of the Ganlun Military City.
The city was bustling with activity, filled with soldiers training and merchants peddling their goods.
As they walked through the streets, Tan Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.
Three years had changed much, yet the familiar sights still brought back memories.
“Tan Yun,” Yuyan said softly, breaking him from his thoughts, “Do you think we’ll find what we’re looking for here?”
Tan Yun nodded. “I believe so. The Divine King’s Mansion holds many secrets, and we must uncover them.”
They continued toward their destination, determination shining in their eyes.
Soon, they reached the towering Divine King's Mansion, its imposing structure radiating authority.
“Let’s go in,” Tan Yun said, his heart racing with anticipation.
With that, they stepped forward, ready to face whatever awaited them inside the mansion.
Two beams of light, one white and one red, descended from the sky, transforming into Tan Yun after changing his appearance in a white robe, and Yuyan in a red dress outside the towering city gate.
"May I ask who you are?" A great divine general guarding the city gate, upon realizing he couldn't discern Tan Yun and Ji Yuyan's cultivation level, showed a hint of respect in his expression.
Suddenly, Tan Yun activated the primordial divine eye, and a flash of enchanting red light flickered in his eyes, causing the great divine general to instantly lose his senses.
"Is Ganlun here?" Tan Yun asked.
"Yes." The great divine general's expression was blank.
"What is his current strength?" Tan Yun inquired.
"He is a celestial master of the ninth rank eternal realm," the great divine general replied dully.
Immediately, Tan Yun deactivated the primordial divine eye and said to the great divine general, "Go tell your Ganlun celestial master that I have learned who the murderer of his kin is from over twenty thousand years ago."
Upon hearing this, the great divine general respectfully asked, "Senior, what is your name?"
"Why so many questions?" Tan Yun scolded. "Forget it, I will go in and find him myself."
"This..." The great divine general looked troubled. "Senior, I'm sorry, but I cannot open the city gate without knowing your identity."
"How about this, senior, please wait here a moment, and I will go into the city to inform our celestial master," he added.
Tan Yun waved his hand impatiently, "Fine, go."
Hearing this, the great divine general summoned a token, and soon, a divine general inside the city opened the gate.
Then, the great divine general flew into the city gate...
Celestial Master Residence, Celestial Master Hall.
Inside the grand hall, an elderly man with white hair, around eighty years old, was meditating with his eyes closed. This man was Ganlun Celestial Master.
"Celestial Master, I have important news to report," came the voice of the great divine general from outside the hall.
"Speak," Ganlun Celestial Master replied without opening his eyes.
"Reporting to the celestial master, a middle-aged couple has arrived outside the city. They claim to know the murderer of your family," said the great divine general.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ganlun Celestial Master, who was seated on the floor, vanished into thin air.
In the next moment, he appeared outside the hall, staring intensely at the great divine general, "Is this true?"
"Reporting to the celestial master, it is absolutely true..." Before the great divine general could finish, Ganlun Celestial Master shot up into the sky, transforming into a beam of light and rushing toward the city gate.
