Tan Yun stared at Huangfu Zhong and said without a doubt, “When I arrived earlier, I heard Zai Kong say that you sent Li Gong to kill me so that he could report to his superiors. Who did he mean by 'superiors'?”
“If you tell me, I guarantee a quick death for your son. Otherwise, he will die a miserable death!”
“Don’t know?” Tan Yun questioned with doubt in his tone.
“Tan Holy Son, I truly don’t know!” Huangfu Zhong said, “The elder supreme only told me to send someone to kill you, but did not say who was behind it.”
“I swear, everything I said is true!”
Since Huangfu Zhong swore, Tan Yun naturally believed his words to be true, and there was no need to control him with the primordial divine eye and ask again.
“Who could it be?” Tan Yun furrowed his brows, suddenly exerting force with his right hand, “Crack!” He twisted Huangfu Feng's neck.
“Feng'er!” Huangfu Zhong cried out in despair.
Tan Yun relaxed his grip on the corpse, then turned his right hand over and slapped down on Huangfu Feng’s head, causing it to explode, the headless corpse crashing down in the great hall.
“Tan Yun!” Huangfu Zhong screamed with all his strength, “I, Huangfu Zhong, curse you to die a terrible death... die a terrible death!!”
“Whoosh!” Tan Yun’s figure flashed and appeared in front of Huangfu Zhong, stepping on his left shoulder, his features twisted with rage, “Huangfu Zhong, when your son provoked me back then, I merely broke his legs and spared his life. You didn’t appreciate my mercy and instead sought my life!”
“As an inner sect law enforcement elder, you’ve broken the law, sending Li Gong to kill me.”
“If I hadn’t challenged someone stronger than me, I would have already been cruelly killed by Li Gong!”
“I tell you, you brought this upon yourself!”
“And even now, you still wish to curse me to die a terrible death?”
“Unfortunately, I will not die, and you will personally experience what it means to die a terrible death!”
As Tan Yun spoke, he suddenly lifted his right foot and stomped down on Huangfu Zhong’s left shoulder!
“Ah!”
“Crack!”
Huangfu Zhong's terrifying scream sent chills down people's spines as his left shoulder exploded under Tan Yun's foot.
“No!!”
“Crack, crack!”
Amid Huangfu Zhong's pig-like wails, Tan Yun followed up with two more stomps, breaking his two legs.
“Tan Yun, I...” Huangfu Zhong's voice abruptly stopped as Tan Yun stepped on his face, rendering him unable to speak.
Tan Yun ignored Huangfu Zhong beneath his feet and coldly said, “Huangfu Zhong, just wait down there. One day, I will find out who the mastermind is and come to find you!”
“Bang!”
With those words, Tan Yun crushed Huangfu Zhong’s skull.
Afterward, Tan Yun collected the ancestral rings of Huangfu Zhong and his son, as well as Zai Kong, and stepped out of the Sky Ruling Hall.
“Yun'er, how did it go?” Dao Kun inquired.
Tan Yun sighed and shook his head, “Huangfu Zhong doesn’t know who the mastermind is.”
Xin Bingshuan looked at Tan Yun and consoled him, “It’s okay. From now on, I will protect you closely until we find the true killer.”
“Mm.” Tan Yun nodded.
“Yun'er, let’s go to the Four Arts Sanctuary.” Dao Kun summoned a Divine Vessel, carrying Tan Yun and Xin Bingshuan as they flew toward the Four Arts Sanctuary.
Along the way, Dao Kun looked at Tan Yun, who seemed downcast, and said, “Yun'er, I have good news for you.”
“What good news?” Tan Yun asked, puzzled.
“Your wife, Shen Subing, has news!” Dao Kun said.
“What!” Tan Yun's eyes widened instantly, forgetting all his troubles in an instant. His eyes glistened with tears, filled with excitement and longing, “Please tell me quickly, where is my wife?”
Dao Kun said truthfully, “The people I sent out reported that there have been sightings of Su Bing in the Eastern Continent Divine Domain, but the specific location is still unknown.”
“However, I believe that now it’s confirmed that Su Bing is in the Eastern Continent Divine Domain, so finding her is only a matter of time.”
