“Brother Xiao is truly so arrogant!”
“Yes! Even City Lord Duan has pleaded for him, yet he still…”
"Yeah! Even the City Lord pleaded for mercy, yet he still killed him!"
"However, I do admire Xiao Zhang a bit; I've noticed he's decisive in his killings, not a indecisive person."
"I've been conquered by Xiao Zhang too; even if he can't be the champion, he's still the best in my heart. His terrifying ability to leap ranks is unheard of and unseen!"
"..."
While over three billion people in the Heavenly Sky Dojo were discussing fervently, outside the city, amidst the vast mountains, the watching Gods through the Jade Screen also felt a storm of emotions!
They never expected that Tan Yun, at the first layer of the ancestral sage realm, would annihilate Duan Sheng, who was at the ninth layer of the daoist realm and had cultivated the blood crystal body refinement technique.
Shocking!
Incredible!
Unthinkable!
These words were what the Gods felt when observing Tan Yun.
In the Heavenly Sky Dojo, beneath the Divine Pavilion, the City Lord Duan had tears streaming down his face. He trembled as he pointed a bony finger at Tan Yun, "You dog slave..."
"Swish!"
Before the City Lord could finish his words, Dao Qing Grandmaster vanished from his seat and appeared before the City Lord, delivering a slap across his old face.
"Zhang Er is a disciple of my senior brother, what did you just say?" Dao Qing Grandmaster glared at the City Lord coldly.
"Predecessor, please forgive me, I misspoke..." Before the City Lord could finish, he was slapped again by Dao Qing Grandmaster, who firmly stated, "You spoke disrespectfully about Zhang Er; even if you are the City Lord, I will still kill you!"
"Do you understand?"
The City Lord trembled in fear, his teeth chattering, "Understood, understood."
"Hmph." Dao Qing Grandmaster snorted coldly, looking at Tan Yun, who had returned to his normal size, and said, "Zhang Er, don't be afraid. Tell me, who instigated Duan Sheng to kill you?"
Tan Yun shook his injured right hand and glanced at the direction of the Divine Pavilion, saying, "You don't need to worry about me, I'm fine; I was just speaking casually."
Tan Yun understood that once he mentioned the Crown Prince as the instigator in front of so many people, the Western Continent Emperor would never kill the Crown Prince.
Who knows, the Western Continent Emperor might hold a grudge if he felt that his actions were inappropriate, which would not be worth it.
What kind of person was Dao Qing Grandmaster? Just from Tan Yun's glance at the Divine Pavilion, he guessed that the Crown Prince Yu Cheng was behind it all.
Dao Qing Grandmaster frowned. Considering the Western Continent Emperor's face, he chose not to say anything further and flew up to the Divine Pavilion, landing next to Helian Mengde.
The Western Continent Emperor looked at Tan Yun with a strong sense of approval in his eyes but transmitted a cold message to Yu Cheng, "Cheng Er, did you instigate this?"
"Reporting to father emperor, it was not me!" Yu Cheng replied.
"It better not have been you, or father emperor will punish you severely!" The Western Continent Emperor transmitted: "You must remember, you are the future emperor; you can be ruthless, but you should also distinguish between good and evil."
"I will remember father emperor's teachings." After transmitting, Yu Cheng slowly clenched his fists, secretly thinking, "Xiao Zhang, just wait, one day, I will make you and that slut Yu Yunxi pay with your lives!"
At this moment, Tan Yun didn't watch the other matches but summoned the Fang Sheng Hall to heal his right hand injury.
In the second-floor training room of the Fang Sheng Hall, Tan Yun's eyes glinted with cold light, "Yu Cheng, it won’t be long before I send you to reunite with Yu Yunyi and Yu Shan!"
...
A moment later.
Ke Huang, Ke Gu, Zheng Rufeng, Situ Yu, Situ Quan, Lu Chen, Liu Kongsheng, and Liu Konglong, the eight of them defeated their opponents without a scratch and flew down from the high platforms, standing shoulder to shoulder with Qi Kong.
