Tan Yun stood in mid-air, looking down at the corpse of Lion Blaze in the forest, a glint of cold light flashing in his starry eyes. “I don’t care whose son you are; if you provoke me, you will die!”
With that, Tan Yun dove down and landed in the forest, picking up Lion Blaze's Ancestral Ring from the ground. A glimmer of brilliance appeared in his starry eyes as he contemplated, “If you also want to kill me, then I will deal with you later!”
As Tan Yun flickered rapidly through the forest, his body suddenly transformed back to normal height and then vanished into the ground.
The reason Tan Yun did this was that he had discovered a Divine Vessel flying toward him when he first noticed Lion Blaze using the invisibility technique to follow him after leaving the Human Race Star Domain.
Initially, Tan Yun didn’t think much of it. However, during the past twenty days, he noticed that the Divine Vessel had been following him from a distance, only to suddenly disappear yesterday.
Tan Yun speculated that the person on the Divine Vessel had used invisibility to leave the vessel and then stowed it away, which caused it to vanish.
Without knowing the opponent's strength, Tan Yun didn’t dare to act recklessly; he could only hide underground, using the forest as cover to plan his next move.
In the ground, Tan Yun focused and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
Time passed second by second, and after about a quarter of an hour, no one had followed him.
“Could it be that I was overthinking?” Just as Tan Yun was pondering, a female voice filled with resentment came from above ground, “Damn it, Tan Yun is gone!”
“It really is a pursuit against me.” Tan Yun extended a finger and carefully poked a hole in the surface. He peered out with his right eye.
“Chu Heng, why is it him?” A surge of murderous intent surged in Tan Yun's heart!
In Tan Yun's line of sight, he saw six men and one woman flying into the forest with Divine Swords in hand, the leading young man being Chu Heng!
At a glance, Tan Yun could tell that both Chu Heng and the only female disciple among them were at the seventh layer of the ancestral emperor realm. The other five men included four at the sixth layer of the ancestral emperor realm, with the last one being at great perfection of the ancestral emperor realm!
“Second Young Master, that brat Tan Yun doesn’t know where he fled to.” One elite disciple said.
Just as Chu Heng was about to speak, a loud noise came from behind. The seven turned to look and saw Tan Yun flying out from the ground amidst swirling dust.
“He's trying to escape, catch him!” Chu Heng ordered sternly.
“Yes, Second Young Master…”
As they answered, Tan Yun said in a low voice, “Escape? Why should I? I am the holy son; do you dare to kill me?”
Tan Yun said this to leave a memory image.
“Hahaha!” Chu Heng's ferocity surfaced as he laughed mockingly, “Tan Yun, you are quite naïve.”
“Indeed, you are the holy son, but today, the act of killing you will go unnoticed. Who will know that I was the one who killed you, huh? Hahaha!”
Tan Yun's mouth curved into a faint smile as he calmly replied, “We have no grievances, so why must you kill me?”
“Want to know?” Chu Heng looked at Tan Yun with amusement, “Sorry, I won’t tell you. I want you to die without knowing why, to be a confused ghost, hahaha!”
“Are you so sure you can kill me?” Tan Yun asked with a half-smile.
“Hehe.” Chu Heng looked at Tan Yun as if he were an idiot, “Tan Yun, you are too ignorant. Do you think you can kill Lion Blaze and be invincible in the world?”
“Do you know what kind of strength stands before you?”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know; I can tell you.”
Chu Heng looked at Tan Yun like a cat playing with a mouse, “All seven of us standing before you are elite disciples of the Human Race Star Domain.”
“The four with the lowest cultivation level are at the sixth layer of the ancestral emperor realm, while the highest is at great perfection of the ancestral emperor realm.”
