Upon hearing that Han Chengxuan had been killed by Tan Yun in such a manner, Fu Chashu's anger finally subsided a bit.
"Sovereign, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should." Tan Yun said respectfully.
"You two can stand up. You are the heroes who found the culprit." After allowing Tan Yun and the other to rise, Fu Chashu looked at Tan Yun and said, "Speak."
"Yes, Sovereign." Tan Yun replied respectfully, "In my opinion, we should publicly declare that Elder Three Han Chengxuan was responsible for the deaths of the two young masters and not mention that the mastermind behind the death of the sixteenth young master is the twelfth young master."
"The two young masters are your beloved sons, Sovereign. If this matter were to spread, it would harm your reputation."
"Moreover, it seems to me that the two young masters were not at fault; it was all Han Chengxuan's scheming!"
Tan Yun's words genuinely resonated with Fu Chashu.
Fu Chashu looked at Tan Yun and said, "I am very satisfied with your work. I have said that if you can find the culprit, you will be greatly rewarded. I keep my promises, so tell me what you want."
"Wealth? Techniques, or something else?"
Tan Yun respectfully replied, "To relieve the Sovereign's worries is my duty; I dare not claim credit."
Seeing Tan Yun's composed demeanor, Fu Chashu grew even fonder of him. "This sovereign commands you to speak."
"Thank you, Sovereign." Tan Yun respectfully said, "I must report to the Sovereign that my wife Fang Yuan and I went to the Sea of Demons and were attacked by powerful sea beasts, but we ultimately escaped with our lives."
"However, my wife has lost some memories. After inquiring, I heard that your nephew, the current crown prince of the Eastern Continent Ancestral Dynasty, obtained three drops of Memory Ancestor Liquid three hundred years ago."
"I humbly request that the Sovereign assist me."
Fu Chashu said, "This matter, this sovereign will help you. Just wait for the news; I will send someone to ask for a drop for you."
"Do you have any other rewards in mind?"
Tan Yun respectfully said, "Reporting to the Sovereign, I would like a high-grade fire seed of ice and fire attributes."
"I have that." Fu Chashu flipped his right hand, revealing two pocket-sized boxes. "The first box contains the fire attribute Heavenly Ancestor Divine Flame, which is a supreme dao saint level."
"The second box contains the ice attribute Supreme Lord of Ten Thousand Flames, also a supreme dao saint level."
"I will bestow them both upon you!"
Upon hearing this, excitement surged in Tan Yun's eyes. After all, above the dao emperor level is the dao saint level!
And above the dao saint level is the dao ancestor level!
"Thank you, Sovereign!" Tan Yun pretended to be deeply grateful.
"Do you know why this sovereign bestows such precious items upon you?" Fu Chashu inquired.
After accepting the two boxes, Tan Yun lowered his head and said, "This subordinate is dull; please enlighten me, Sovereign."
Fu Chashu looked at Tan Yun, his gaze filled with approval. "You are a person of justice, and I trust you with the Inner Sect."
"Remember, the disciples of the Inner Sect are the new force of our sect; you must manage them well."
"Sometimes, if killing is necessary, then do it to uphold the sect's dignity!"
Tan Yun respectfully replied, "This subordinate obeys!"
"Alright, you may leave. This sovereign is tired." Fu Chashu's gaze dimmed as he thought of the deaths of his two sons.
"This subordinate takes his leave; may the Sovereign take care." After Tan Yun spoke, he exchanged a glance with Qin Feng and left the great hall together.
Just after leaving the Hall of Ascendancy, Qin Feng could no longer hold back, his legs shook, and he fell to the ground.
He was scared!
Qin Feng originally thought he would have a bad outcome today, but unexpectedly, according to what Tan Yun had taught him to perform, the Sovereign did not blame him.
Tan Yun quickly pulled Qin Feng up, turning into a beam of light, disappearing into the horizon...
