Chapter 82: Revenge and Slaughter
Pang Shiyuan's lips moved; although he couldn't make a sound, it was easy to tell from his lip movements that he was saying, "Don't kill me, I'll tell you who the mastermind is."
"Old fool, I'm sorry, but I'll ask what I want to know myself," Tan Yun sneered, the corners of his mouth curling up. In an instant, a series of spiritual power blades surged down towards Pang Shiyuan!
"Poof, poof..."
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, blood splattering. When the spiritual power blades became formless, Pang Shiyuan's face and chest, just like Tan Yun's before, were nearly reduced to bones.
Pang Shiyuan let out a weak breath, and the anger and despair in his eyes gradually dimmed, already on the brink of death.
It was well-known that the stronger the physical body, the stronger the soul. Likewise, if the physical body suffers severe damage, the soul will weaken as well.
Currently, Tan Yun's soul strength was comparable to the third layer of the refining soul realm, and under the effect of the primordial divine eye, he was more than capable of controlling Pang Shiyuan.
Under the night sky, Tan Yun's eyes glimmered with a deep, eerie red light as he looked down at Pang Shiyuan beneath him, leaving no room for rebuttal: "Who sent you to kill me?"
As he spoke, Tan Yun lifted his right foot, pressing down on Pang Shiyuan's adam's apple.
"It was... Lu Wu," Pang Shiyuan stammered, his expression blank.
"Good, then I'll ask you again," Tan Yun said coldly, his killing intent palpable. "How did you know that I was cultivating inside the Mid-Grade Mustard Seed Time-Space Pagoda at No. 678?"
"It was Liu Dahu who told me," Pang Shiyuan replied weakly.
"Liu Dahu? Who is that?" Tan Yun raised an eyebrow.
"He was the steward guarding the Hall of Authorization at that time," Pang Shiyuan gasped.
"Where is his Immortal Mountain?" Tan Yun asked again.
"On Immortal Mountain No. 455, four thousand miles to the south..." Pang Shiyuan's voice suddenly cut off, and he breathed his last.
"Liu Dahu, good, very good!" Tan Yun's killing intent surged within him.
Tan Yun transformed the golden dragon spirit lion into a foot-long size and flew it into the Turtle Breathing Cold Veil.
The golden dragon spirit lion carried Tan Yun into the air, hovering above the summit.
"Primordial Flame!"
With a single thought, primordial flame burst forth from Tan Yun's right palm, swiftly flying into the cave dwelling, incinerating the residual auras of Tan Yun and the golden dragon spirit lion!
After that, he burned away the lingering auras remaining on the summit, leaving only Pang Shiyuan's skeletal remains.
Once everything was taken care of, Tan Yun retracted the primordial flame and summoned the Qiankun Ring that had fallen to the summit, pulling it into his hand.
Next, Tan Yun stored the Top-grade magical artifact Spirit Vessel from the cave dwelling into the Qiankun Ring.
With his feet on the golden dragon spirit lion, Tan Yun flew towards Liu Dahu's Immortal Mountain, four thousand miles away...
In the span of that distance, the speed of the golden dragon spirit lion brought him there in an instant.
Tan Yun quietly landed outside the cave dwelling at the summit.
"Lord steward, Elder Three is urgently looking for you." Tan Yun's voice became youthful.
"Alright, I will go at once!" A steady voice responded, and a burly middle-aged man stepped out of the cave dwelling.
"Hmm?" Liu Dahu was taken aback as he looked at the outfit of the disciple in front of him, then scolded, "It's the middle of the night, and you dress like this? How inappropriate!"
Tan Yun smiled brightly and reverted to his original voice, "Liu Dahu, how could I come to kill you if I didn't dress like this?"
As Liu Dahu listened to the somewhat familiar voice, it felt as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Suddenly, he recalled the conversation he had with Tan Yun over a year ago when Tan Yun entered the Hall of Authorization!
"You are Tan Yun..." Liu Dahu's surprised voice cut off abruptly. A golden light shot from within Tan Yun's Turtle Breathing Cold Veil towards Liu Dahu!
