Published: February 26, 2025

Just as Han Xing was about to...

“Three days ago, when my fiancée and I entered the city, weren’t you quite arrogant?”

“Now, let’s see you act arrogant again!”

Han Xing’s eyes widened as he looked at Tan Yun, who was at the ninth layer of the daoist realm. Seeing his white hair, memories of a man and woman he had insulted three days ago surged into his mind. He shouted hoarsely, “All disciples, listen up! He…”

Han Xing’s voice suddenly halted, and “Pfft!” Tan Yun, wielding the Divine Spear, pierced through his skull!

His divine soul was obliterated on the spot!

“Pfft!”

After withdrawing the Divine Spear from Han Xing’s skull, Tan Yun shook it sharply, shaking off the bloodstains. He turned back to the hundred Inner Sect Disciples, declaring, “Remember this, I am the true respect of the Inner Sect!”

“Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to me will be punished according to sect rules—killed without mercy!”

The hundred disciples immediately knelt down and bowed, “Disciples will remember!”

“Hmph.” Tan Yun snorted coldly and summoned Han Xing’s Ancestral Ring, which floated into his hand.

Tan Yun released his divine consciousness to check and found that the Ancestral Ring contained over a hundred billion Supreme Ancestor Stones.

After satisfactorily accepting the Ancestral Ring, Tan Yun looked at the leading Inner Sect disciple and ordered, “I suspect Elder Three of embezzlement. From now on, you will guard the city gate here.”

“All Supreme Ancestor Stones collected must be handed over to me. I have evidence of Elder Three ignoring sect rules and embezzling.”

“When I return to the sect, I will meet with the sovereign to strip him of his financial authority in the Inner Sect!”

“Do you understand?”

That disciple respectfully replied, “Disciple understands!”

“Mm.” Tan Yun nodded, took Yu Yunxi’s hand, and said, “Yuan’er, let’s go.”

“Okay.” Yu Yunxi smiled slightly, and together with Tan Yun, they soared into the sky, transforming into two beams of light, disappearing from the sight of the disciples…

“Disciples respectfully send off the Elder Supreme and Elder Two!” The hundred disciples bowed in unison.

Once Tan Yun and the others had gone far, the leading disciple stood up and whispered to a nearby disciple, “Kong Song, return to the sect immediately and report today’s events to Elder Three truthfully, so he can respond in advance!”

“Understood!” The disciple named Kong Song said and left…

At the same time, flying in the sky above the Eastern Continent Lake Domain, Yu Yunxi furrowed her brow, confused as she transmitted, “Tan Yun, I don’t understand why you’re doing this?”

“Think about it, since those hundred Inner Sect Disciples are following Han Xing, they must be his and Elder Three’s people.”

“You even mentioned going to Fu Chashu to report Elder Three. If I’m not mistaken, this matter will definitely reach Elder Three’s ears.”

“Elder Three may retaliate against you. Aren’t you putting yourself in danger?”

A hint of cunning flickered in Tan Yun's starry eyes as he transmitted, “I want Elder Three to be desperate, then I’ll kill him openly!”

“Only if Elder Three is dead can we take control of the financial authority of the Inner Sect. When that time comes, we can rob all the resources of the Inner Sect when we leave.”

“Yunxi, think about it, the Eastern Continent Divine Sect only has Inner Sect Disciples amounting to five hundred billion, while Outer Sect Disciples are even more numerous, reaching a thousand billion!”

“The distribution of Ancestor Stones to Inner and Outer Sect Disciples monthly is a terrifying number, not to mention the wealth stored in the Treasure Hall—it’s truly enviable!”

“As long as we can rob the wealth of the Inner Sect when we leave, we’ll have enough Supreme Ancestor Stones to open the Tower of Longing for the Lord and madly increase our strength!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi looked at Tan Yun with admiration, transmitting, “Tan Yun, you’re really amazing, it’s like you’re planning every step of the way!”
