“Mm.” The Ninety-Year-Old Elder smiled and nodded, his gaze filled with appreciation as he looked at Tan Yun. “The family head was right; Tan Xiaoyou is indeed a remarkable talent.”
Dantai Zhongde was a servant of Dantai Xuanzhong, and since this elder was the older brother of Dantai Zhongde, the 'master' he referred to was naturally Sovereign Dantai Xuanzhong.
The ninety-year-old elder looked at Tan Yun's parents and grandfather, smiling as he said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Dantai Zhongkun. The Sovereign has commanded me to reside in the Tan Residence from now on to protect its safety. I wonder if you would grant me a room?"
Tan Yun was overjoyed, realizing that Dantai Xuanzhong had sent someone to protect the Tan family. Did the Sovereign know that he had many enemies in the Huangfu Sacred Sect?
Moreover, he had sent such a powerful person to oversee the Tan family!
Without a doubt, Tan Yun knew that Dantai Zhongkun, who could manage the Huangfu headquarters, was certainly a confidant of Dantai Xuanzhong.
It seemed that after he provided advice to Dantai Xuanzhong, the Sovereign had placed even greater trust in him.
Thinking of this, Tan Yun immediately expressed his willingness!
To Tan Yun's parents and grandfather, a powerhouse like Dantai Zhongkun was akin to an immortal.
They appeared quite cautious.
Afterward, Dantai Zhongkun communicated with Tan Yun's parents and grandfather, assuring them that they didn't need to be overly polite in front of him.
He also told Tan Yun to focus on cultivating in the Huangfu Sacred Sect and that with him in charge, no one would dare to cause trouble for the Tan family!
With no more worries, Tan Yun was just about to check who the deceased was when Dantai Zhongkun's expression turned cold, and he said, "Tan Xiaoyou, there's no need to look. He is a confidant of the Beast Spirit practitioner, an enforcer of the Beast Spirit Lineage, named Jiang Shan."
"Jiang Shan! Beast Spirit practitioner..." Tan Yun sneered, "I understand now. I have crippled the Beast Spirit practitioner's son, Wu Feixiong. It seems this old fool has sent someone to wipe out my entire family!"
Anger surged through Tan Yun's chest! This ancient Beast Spirit practitioner must be eliminated at the first opportunity!
Dantai Zhongkun spoke meaningfully, "Tan Xiaoyou, the Sovereign has high expectations of you and knows you have many enemies in the Inner Sect. Thus, he commanded me to stay at the Tan Residence to ensure you can cultivate in peace, so that you may serve our Sacred Sect in the future. You cannot let the Sovereign down!"
"I understand, Senior." Tan Yun replied respectfully, thinking about getting the flame seed from Dantai Zhongde after returning to the sect, he casually asked, "Senior, may I ask if Elder De is currently at the Huangfu Headquarters?"
"He is not." Dantai Zhongkun replied, "The Sovereign has dispatched me here, and my second brother has gone to the Huangfu Headquarters to take over my position."
Tan Yun took this to heart; this was even better. Since he was more familiar with Dantai Zhongde, and with Dantai Zhongde managing the Huangfu Headquarters, his power would be even greater, allowing him to mobilize resources to provide Tan Yun with the flame seed.
Soon after, Tan Yun bid farewell to his parents and grandfather, and together with Zhong Wu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi, they boarded the golden dragon spirit lion.
The golden dragon spirit lion soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of golden lightning, rapidly disappearing into the starry sky...
After Tan Yun and the others left, Dantai Zhongkun took residence in the Tan Residence.
In front of Tan Changchun and Tan Yun's parents, he displayed no airs of a powerful being, acting like an elderly man without any strength, spending his days leisurely caring for birds in the Tan Residence.
The news of a powerful figure residing in the Tan Residence shocked everyone in Wangyue Town...
Two days later, the golden dragon spirit lion carried Tan Yun and the others, flying into the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range...
