"How can this kid have such a great fate?" Huangfu Zhong frowned, "When everyone thought he was undoubtedly dead, he actually came back alive."
"Bang!" Zai Kong thought of his most valued direct disciple, Duan Ru's death, and in his rage, smashed the wine cup in his hand into pieces, sternly saying: "No matter why this brat didn’t die this time, this elder supreme will make sure to kill him!"
"Mm, you make sense." Zai Kong asked, "Do you have any clever plans?"
"I don't have any brilliant schemes, but I do have some plans." Huangfu Zhong replied thoughtfully.
"Tell me about it." Zai Kong said.
Huangfu Zhong smiled and said: "Elder Supreme, in a hundred years, during the four arts contest, our Four Arts Star Domain will definitely lose. By then, the Four Arts Star Domain will be gone, and we can find any opportunity to eliminate Tan Yun."
"A hundred years is merely a fleeting moment for us; we can wait."
"Also, you should have noticed that the supreme saint elder has already sent someone to ask my subordinate questions. He has suspected that I have motives to kill Tan Yun."
"So at this time, we mustn't act hastily, lest we cause irreparable consequences."
After hearing this, Zai Kong nodded in agreement: "The current situation can only be like this. Let Tan Yun live for another hundred years, and after a hundred years, we will chop him into pieces to avenge my disciple!"
…
Two hours later, as the sun set.
Tan Yun, who had already changed into a white robe, was flying in the air, about to reach the Wuji Taoist Temple when a male disciple dressed in a blue robe, with "Core" embroidered on his chest, blocked Tan Yun's path in mid-air and smiled: "Are you Tan Yun?"
Seeing the blue-robed man's attire, Tan Yun knew he was a core disciple of the ancestral emperor realm from the Four Arts Star Domain.
"Yes, senior." Tan Yun clasped his fists and said, "I am indeed Tan Yun. How did you recognize me?"
"Hahaha." The young man in the blue robe laughed, "Currently in the Four Arts Star Domain, there’s no one who doesn't know you."
"During the days you went missing, the supreme saint elder has informed all disciples of your appearance, instructing us to assist you if we find you."
Upon hearing this, a warm current surged in Tan Yun's heart, surprised that the old man treated him so well.
The young disciple urged: "Tan Yun, since you’ve returned alive, hurry to the Four Arts Floating Land and report your safety to the supreme saint elder."
"I understand, senior." Tan Yun bowed slightly and turned to fly towards the Four Arts Floating Land...
Half an hour later, at the Four Arts Floating Land, in the Four Arts Sanctuary.
Inside the sanctuary, seven young people, two of whom were women, stood in front of Dao Kun.
All nine were Dao Kun's direct disciples and also saint disciples of the Four Arts Star Domain.
Xin Bingshuan still had her face covered in purple sand, but a complex look appeared in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Dao Kun and said: "Master, I and my senior brothers and sisters have searched several times in the Four Arts Star Domain, but no one has found Tan Yun's trace."
"I feel that Tan Yun is no longer here."
At this moment, Miao Qingqing, the Eighth Senior Sister, revealed a hint of cold light in her eyes and said: "Master, the ability Tan Yun has to challenge those above his level, along with his knowledge of the divine medicine and artifact materials from the supreme ancestor realm, has already been told to us by Ninth Junior Sister."
"Without a doubt, Tan Yun is a genius among geniuses. He is your disciple, yet he was killed so recklessly by others. You must help him seek revenge!"
Senior Brother Xi Tonghai echoed: "Master, Qingqing is right. As long as you give the order, I will immediately investigate Huangfu Zhong and Mi Qin. If they are related, we will kill them!"
"Master, Senior Brother is right!"
"That's right, Master, you give the order!"
"…"
The other six direct disciples of Dao Kun chimed in one after another.
"Good!" Dao Kun, who was rather portly, squinted his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Now I announce, to investigate immediately…"
