“Then who is he?” The Vajra Ancestral Bear asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.
The Ancestral Beast hesitated for a moment before replying, “I can’t tell. He looks very similar to Tan Yun, but there’s something off about him.”
The Vajra Ancestral Bear frowned, his expression growing serious. “If he’s not Tan Yun, then we need to be careful. The presence of an imposter could lead to trouble.”
“Understood, Brother Bear,” the Ancestral Beast replied, lowering his voice. “Should we confront him?”
“Not yet,” the Vajra Ancestral Bear said firmly. “Let’s observe him first. We need to gather more information before taking any action.”
As they continued to watch, Tan Yun was blissfully unaware of the scrutiny he was under. He was busy exchanging pleasantries with the other cultivators, maintaining the façade of confidence and ease.
“I’ve heard so much about you, Tan Yun,” one of the cultivators said, a smile on his face. “Your feats in the cave dwelling have become legendary!”
Tan Yun smiled back, his expression calm. “I appreciate the kind words. I only did what I had to do.”
Meanwhile, the Vajra Ancestral Bear and the Ancestral Beast shared a knowing glance, their concerns deepening.
“Something feels wrong,” the Ancestral Beast murmured. “He’s too relaxed for someone in his position.”
“Agreed,” the Vajra Ancestral Bear replied, “Let’s keep a close watch on him. I have a feeling that the truth will reveal itself soon.”
With those words, they settled into a silent vigil, their eyes fixed on Tan Yun as he mingled with the crowd, unaware of the attention he had drawn.
“I keep my word.”
At this time, the Vajra Ancestral Bear and the other beasts looked at Tan Yun with disbelief in their giant eyes.
Soon after, despair filled the eyes of the beasts!
“You… you are actually Tan Yun!” The Vajra Ancestral Bear trembled all over.
“Disappointed, or scared?” Tan Yun’s smile grew colder, “Didn’t you all want to find me and kill me? Come on, why are you still frozen?”
As Tan Yun’s voice paused, he suddenly roared, “You bunch of damned beasts, I have no grudges against you, yet you want to kill me!”
The beasts trembled in fear at Tan Yun’s fierce shout.
“Tan Holy Son, please spare us!” The Vajra Ancestral Bear crawled in front of Tan Yun, “We don’t want to kill you; it’s all the supreme saint elder Lion Bile’s command to kill you.”
“Yes, Tan Holy Son, our Brother Bear isn’t lying to you. It’s the supreme saint elder Lion Bile who ordered us to kill you…”
“…”
Facing their pleas for mercy, Tan Yun remained unmoved. “If Lion Bile wants to kill me, does he dare to issue such a reckless command without the Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon’s permission?”
“Lion Bile and the Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon are not good beings!”
“As for you, ask yourselves, if I were not your opponent and I begged for mercy, would you spare me?”
“The answer is definitely no, so why should I spare you!”
“Ice’er, go for it!”
With Tan Yun’s command, the ice-blue primordial ice flame flew out from his left palm, transforming into three million zhang, instantly enveloping the Vajra Ancestral Bear.
“No… ah!!”
In the blink of an eye, the Vajra Ancestral Bear turned into nothingness.
Then, the primordial ice flame traversed through the Primordial Void, harvesting the lives of the enemies.
“Kill!”
Like a mountain, Tan Yun wielded the over twenty thousand zhang primordial chaos god-slaying sword and, after using primordial divine step, his speed within the sword formation tripled again, unleashing a cold sword aura and slaughtering the enemies!
“Ah… no!”
“Tan Yun, wait! One day, our supreme saint elder and vice palace master will kill you!”
“Tan Yun, I curse you to die a horrible death…”
“Tan Yun, you lowly human scum…”
“…”
In an instant, the sounds of screams, roars, and curses filled the air.
