At the same time, Lu Wu personally informed the inner sect law enforcement elder Qiu Yongming of Tan Yun's death.
Originally, the two had agreed that if Lu Wu killed Tan Yun, Qiu Yongming would gift Lu Wu a lower grade thunder attribute Flying Sword.
However, considering that Shen Subing was determined to find the murderer, Lu Wu told Qiu Yongming that Tan Yun's death had nothing to do with him and did not accept the Flying Sword!
The eight chief disciples were first shocked at their previous misjudgment, realizing that Tan Yun was not a waste but rather a genius who had emerged unexpectedly.
Then, the eight chief disciples were delighted, as they would now have something to talk about with Shen Subing; after all, such a formidable disciple had died in what their Danmai claimed was the safest place—the Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda...
Among the eight chief disciples, the one who was happiest upon hearing of Tan Yun's death was Linghu Changkong's great-grandfather, the holy spirit path practitioner. Although he hadn't personally killed Tan Yun to avenge his great-grandson, the mere fact that Tan Yun was dead filled him with satisfaction.
Next were the five soul daoist, beast spirit practitioner, and Murong daoist.
The five soul daoist noticed that his closed-door disciple, Xue Ziyan, despite always calling Tan Yun brother-in-law, had feelings for him. Now that Tan Yun was dead, the resources would not flow to outsiders, and he could arrange for Xue Ziyan to marry his grandson...
Mu Mengyi was the only closed-door disciple of the beast spirit practitioner. Since she joined the Beast Spirit Lineage, the beast spirit practitioner had let her focus on her cultivation and had grown increasingly fond of her. He had long intended to betroth Mu Mengyi to his beloved son, who was the most talented disciple of the Inner Sect Beast Spirit Lineage.
However, he knew that Mengyi was Tan Yun’s fiancée, so he had refrained from tearing them apart. But now that Tan Yun was dead, he could justifiably promote the marriage between Mu Mengyi and his son once she emerged from her retreat...
At Murong Immortal Mountain and Murong Immortal Palace, Murong daoist sneered, "It's fine that Tan Yun is dead; that way, he won't get his hands on my disciple Shiyao. Shiyao is a proud daughter of heaven and will be the backbone of our Artifact Lineage. If Tan Yun had seduced her into the Danmai, that would have been disastrous..."
As each chief disciple had their own thoughts, the second elder of the Beast Spirit Lineage, Murong Hong, was filled with rage whenever he thought of his only grandson, Murong Kun, being killed by Tan Yun. Now that he learned Tan Yun had died, he drank heavily and appeared to have lost his mind, shouting his grandson's name from the summit...
The stars were dim, the moon was hazy, and fireflies dotted the night sky.
At Cangling Immortal Mountain,
"This place doesn't welcome you; leave!"
"Leave... this place doesn't welcome you; Senior Brother Tan doesn’t need your offerings!"
"..."
At the summit, beside Tan Yun's grave, Daniu and dozens of herb garden disciples glared fiercely at a white-robed youth who was approaching leisurely.
The white-robed youth, fanning himself with a folding fan and looking down his nose, was quite irritating.
This person was none other than Pang He, who had previously been crippled by Tan Yun twice!
At this moment, Pang He was still followed by the same ten underlings who had been flaunting their power before.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Is this group of servants itching for trouble?" Pang He mocked before suddenly shouting, "I'm here to burn incense for Tan Yun; do you dare stop me? Get out of the way!"
"You... what do you want!" Daniu gathered his courage and said, "You didn't dare come when Senior Brother Tan was alive; what do you mean by coming now?"
"Also, the chief once said that no one is allowed to bully our herb garden disciples; do you really dare to touch us?"
Upon hearing this, Pang He’s expression changed slightly, and he grinned maliciously, "I’m just here to burn incense for Tan Yun and leave. If you block me again, don’t blame me for being rude!"
