"Are you scared?"
"Aren't you going to kill me?"
Tan Yun said, raising his foot to step on Xi Men Chong's face, his expression remaining indifferent. "Your son was in the wrong from the start. He sent a voice transmission telling me I wouldn't see the sun tomorrow. Killing him isn't against the law."
"But unfortunately, if you want to kill me, that is against the law."
"But unfortunately, you trying to kill me is a crime. Even more unfortunate is that you don't have the ability to kill me, while killing you is entirely reasonable."
Xi Men Chong's eyes were filled with terror, his voice weak, "You... you are talking nonsense... It was you who slandered my son, saying he sent a message to kill you!"
Tan Yun just smiled without answering, but he gradually increased the pressure on Xi Men Chong's right foot.
"You can't kill me, or you'll regret it!" Xi Men Chong shouted with all his strength, "I am the chief steward of the Grand Marshal's Residence in East Town. If you let me go, I can overlook this matter."
"If you kill me, both you and your wife will die!"
Tan Yun's gaze turned even colder, "This is the Imperial Capital of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty. Not only would you be committing a crime, but even if the imperial powers commit a crime, they are equally guilty with the commoners. Who do you think you are?"
After saying this, Tan Yun suddenly lifted his foot, preparing to stomp down on Xi Men Chong's head when suddenly, an elderly voice filled with killing intent pierced the night sky, "You dare, boy!"
"Rumble!"
Immediately, a brown ancestral sage power, as thick as a bowl, pierced through the night sky, carrying a terrifying aura, and struck towards Tan Yun's chest!
The speed was so fast that Tan Yun was caught off guard. In an instant, Tan Yun summoned the War Heavenly Ancestor Armor given to him by Fang Zixi.
"Bang!"
When the ancestral sage power struck Tan Yun's chest, he was blasted into the air, bouncing several times on the ground before finally collapsing.
"Pu!"
Tan Yun spat out a mouthful of blood; despite the armor protecting him, his internal organs were still injured.
Fortunately, it was not life-threatening.
"Xiao Zhang!"
Yu Yunxi, anxious, flew in front of Tan Yun, her eyes filled with worry, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Tan Yun coughed up another mouthful of blood and stood up with Yu Yunxi's support.
Cold!
At this moment, Tan Yun's expression was terrifyingly indifferent!
If it weren't for the War Heavenly Ancestor Armor protecting him earlier, he might have faced a dire situation.
"Swish swish!"
At this moment, two beams of light descended from the sky, transforming from Xi Men Chong's front into an old man and a young man.
The old man was about ninety years old, with white hair; he was none other than the old steward of the Grand Marshal's Residence in East Town: Qi Li, who was also Xi Men Chong's godfather.
The young man beside the old man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a silver robe, exuding an extraordinary demeanor, especially his appearance, which could be described as stunningly handsome!
The young man was none other than the renowned first handsome man of the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty: Qi Kong.
Tan Yun looked at the two; thanks to his primordial divine eye, he could see that Qi Li's cultivation level was at the great perfection of the ancestral sage realm, but he couldn't see Qi Kong's cultivation level.
From their realms, Tan Yun could deduce that the one who wanted to kill him earlier was Qi Li since it was this person who had released the ancestral sage power.
"Godfather, Eldest Young Master, you came just in time; if you had been any later, I would have died!"
Xi Men Chong's voice was weak and choked, "Godfather, Xiao Zhang killed your grandson; you must take revenge for Lai'er!"
"Rest assured, godfather will take care of you."
Qi Li glanced at the headless corpse of Xi Men Lai on the ground.
To be honest, he admired his godson, but he didn't like his grandson at all from the bottom of his heart.
