Cheng Kun stated truthfully, "Over a hundred thousand years ago, one day, a group of stunning women from our sect discovered Shen Subing, so they brought her back to the Eastern Continent Divine Sect and settled her by the Eastern Continent Divine Lake."
"So you're saying the Eastern Continent Divine Lake is within your Eastern Continent Divine Sect?" Tan Yun asked, suppressing his intense anger.
Tan Yun took a deep breath and said, "It's one thing to not let Subing leave, but why can't you let Tang Mengyi and the others leave?"
"Because the young master and the young masters have taken a liking to them," Cheng Kun said, and upon hearing this, Tan Yun was so furious that he felt like he could explode.
Tan Yun's face turned red with anger, shaking all over, "The young master and young masters are the sons of your bastard sovereign?"
"Yes," Cheng Kun said, his expression dazed.
"How many sons are there?" Tan Yun grimaced.
Cheng Kun answered truthfully, "Our sovereign has a total of sixteen sons."
"Good, very good!" Tan Yun laughed angrily, gritting his teeth, "You all better wait for me!"
"Fu Chashu, I may not be able to kill you right now, but I can ensure that your sixteen sons have no place to be buried!"
"I, Tan Yun, swear to destroy the Eastern Continent Divine Sect!"
After swearing, the light in Tan Yun's eyes flickered sharply, "Cheng Kun, you say you are an elder of the Eastern Continent Divine Sect, right?"
"Yes."
"Then tell me, what kind of elder are you? And what position does your wife hold in the sect?" Tan Yun inquired.
"I am the inner sect elder supreme of the Eastern Continent Divine Sect, and my wife is elder two," Cheng Kun said.
"Do you and your wife have your tokens on you?"
"Yes."
Tan Yun then asked, "Do you and your wife have a life lamp in the Eastern Continent Divine Sect?"
"Yes," Cheng Kun replied.
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun's gaze turned sinister as he deactivated the primordial divine eye.
Not knowing what had just happened, Cheng Kun begged, "Please don't kill me."
"Alright, you can rest assured, I won't kill you, nor will I kill your wife." Tan Yun said with a cold smile. After releasing Cheng Kun, he used ancestral power to imprison his spirit pool.
Then, Tan Yun put away Cheng Kun's ancestral ring.
"Tan Yun, calm down! We will definitely rescue Sister Shen and the others," Yu Yunxi said as she left the Tower of Longing for the Lord and stood in front of Tan Yun, comforting him.
"Mm." Tan Yun nodded, "I believe we can rescue them."
At that moment, the clever Yu Yunxi seemed to ponder and said, "Tan Yun, the reason you changed your mind and don’t want to kill Cheng Kun and his wife is that you want me to help you disguise and blend into the Eastern Continent Divine Sect to rescue Sister Shen and the others, right?"
"You only guessed half right," Tan Yun replied, "These two are quite useful. I not only want to rescue Subing, but I also want to kill Fu Chashu’s sixteen sons."
"But I can't let Fu Chashu guess that his sons were killed because we were saving Subing."
"In other words, I can't let Fu Chashu learn that the deaths of his sons are related to Subing; otherwise, if he gets enraged, he might very well go to the Lower Universe and start a massacre to vent his anger."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi looked at Tan Yun with admiration, "I understand now, you really thought this through."
Tan Yun forced a smile, "Yunxi, in another thousand years, Fu Chashu will make his move against Subing. We must hurry."
"Mm." Yu Yunxi said worriedly, "Our Divine Vessel is only a supreme dao divine artifact, and its speed is too slow. A thousand years may not be enough to get there."
"Then I will take you flying; my speed is fast." Tan Yun said.
"Alright." Yu Yunxi looked at Tan Yun, whose face was covered in blood, and said with concern, "Are you seriously injured?"
"The Daoist soul just suffered a backlash; it’s nothing serious." After saying this, Tan Yun used divine consciousness to discover that at the sea area above Celestial Li, Zhou Liren was about to kill Fang Yuan, and hurriedly transmitted his voice to stop him, "Spare her life!"
