In the extremely towering center of the Heaven Devouring Mountain Range, there was the entrance to the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb.
Tan Yun looked down, his gaze penetrating through layers of clouds.
Tan Yun looked down, his gaze piercing through layers of clouds, and discovered a towering monument, a giant stone standing amidst the mountains that blocked the sky and the sun.
On the giant stone were intricate carvings, with two rows of gigantic characters inscribed:
"Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb, devouring living beings, devouring life."
"Those who enter for training, proceed with caution!"
Tan Yun was puzzled and said, "Yunxi, what does it mean by devouring living beings and devouring life?"
Yu Yunxi slightly broke free from Tan Yun's grip, a hint of shyness appearing on her cheeks, but she quickly returned to normal and explained, "This doesn’t mean that there is some kind of devouring power inside the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb."
"It means that since ancient times, countless disciples who entered for training have died, hence it is called the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb."
"I see." Tan Yun said, "Let's go in and take a look."
"Okay." Yu Yunxi smiled lightly and together with Tan Yun, they descended like immortal lovers, landing beneath the giant monument.
At the foot of a mountain behind the giant monument was the entrance to the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb.
The circular entrance had a diameter of a million zhang, and looking down from the sky, it resembled a dark abyss.
As Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi walked towards the entrance, suddenly, a familiar and piercing voice filled with humiliation rang out:
"Scoundrel, and you, dog servant, stand still for this princess!"
Tan Yun's rage boiled up inside, and he turned with Yu Yunxi to see the siblings Yu Yunyi and Yu Shan, accompanied by over four thousand family disciples, appear in their line of sight.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—"
In the blink of an eye, the four thousand family disciples spread out, surrounding Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi tightly.
Yu Yunyi and Yu Shan stepped through the encirclement, standing a hundred zhang in front of Tan Yun. She pointed angrily at Tan Yun and cursed, "Over thirty thousand years ago, you dog servant dared to mock this princess, today this princess will skin you alive!"
"And you, you scoundrel!" Yu Yunyi glared at Yu Yunxi and sneered, "You slapped me back then, so today I will strip you of your clothes and humiliate you to death!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi did not get angry; instead, she lightly parted her red lips and calmly said, "Idiot."
"You still dare to be stubborn when death is upon you!" Yu Yunyi suddenly thought of something and chuckled, "Oh right, seventh royal sister, you only know that your mother was harmed by my mother, but you definitely don't know how your mother died, do you?"
"It’s fine if you don’t know. As your imperial sister, I will kindly tell you."
At this, the originally calm Yu Yunxi trembled violently, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes at the thought of her mother's sorrow.
"Seventh royal sister, listen carefully." Yu Yunyi smiled and said, "Your mother was whipped to death by my mother."
"Woo…" Tears burst from Yu Yunxi's eyes, her beautiful eyes red as she stared at Yu Yunyi, choked up as she said, "Though your mother was just my mother’s maid, my mother treated your mother like a sister, yet your mother was so cruel to mine!"
"Your mother is worse than a beast!"
Yu Shan roared, "Shut up!"
"Yunxi, don't cry." Tan Yun gently patted Yu Yunxi's fragrant shoulder and comforted, "I promise that one day, I will bring the treacherous maid who betrayed your mother before you and let you execute her with your own hands."
"Mm." Yu Yunxi wiped her tears and looked gratefully at Tan Yun.
"I am furious!" Yu Shan, hearing Tan Yun refer to his mother as a maid, turned red with anger and roared at the family disciples behind him, "What are you still standing there for?"
"Break this scoundrel into a million pieces!!"
"Yes, fifth prince!" The four thousand family disciples immediately took their orders, brandishing divine weapons and charging at Tan Yun.
