Tan Yun's expression suddenly turned serious as he narrowed his eyes at Fang Canghai and shouted, “Fang Canghai, clean up your mouth! Do you think you can kill me?”
“Good! After you finish watching the memory image, if you have the guts, then go ahead and kill me!”
The image showed what had happened two hours earlier, when Jiang Kai had insulted Tan Yun, leading to Tan Yun stepping out of Immortal Valley and beating Jiang Kai to death with three punches, as well as the entire process of the seven people trying to kill Tan Yun and being killed by him!
Seeing this, Fang Canghai, who was about to attack Tan Yun, found himself unable to act in front of everyone!
At the same time, both Fang Canghai and the elders behind Murong Shishi looked at Tan Yun with unmistakable shock in their eyes.
They never expected that Tan Yun, at the third layer of the refining soul realm, could easily kill seven disciples at the eighth layer of the refining soul realm and Jiang Kai at the ninth layer!
In their view, even if Tan Yun's strength defied the odds by challenging opponents above his level, it was impossible for him to kill Jiang Kai!
Rather, it was Jiang Kai who had proposed letting Tan Yun attack three times, and it was truly unjust!
At this moment, Tan Yun was unyielding, saying, “Fang Canghai, I have already made an agreement with your grandson — whoever dies, the deceased’s side cannot seek revenge. What? Are you still planning to kill me in front of everyone?”
Suddenly, Fang Canghai stopped trembling, stared at Tan Yun, and laughed in anger, “Kid, you’re ruthless!”
After saying this, Fang Canghai turned around, looked at Murong Shishi and the other elders, and said coldly, “Everyone, follow me! Let’s continue discussing the artisan techniques grand competition!”
“Yes, Chief!” The eighteen elders, including Murong Shishi, bowed and acknowledged, convinced that Tan Yun was close to death! They understood the principle of “it’s easy to dodge an open shot, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow!”
In their hearts, they knew that while the Chief indeed could not kill Tan Yun publicly, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t act secretly!
As Fang Canghai, filled with anger, was about to leave, Tan Yun suddenly spoke up, “Chief Fang, are you just going to leave like this? Don’t you fear being cursed for eternity if this gets out?”
Fang Canghai turned around abruptly, staring hard at Tan Yun, and said slowly, “What do you want to say?”
Tan Yun pointed at a disciple and coldly said, “You’ve seen the memory image between me and Jiang Kai. He ordered the other seven to kill me; according to sect rules, he should be stripped of his cultivation and expelled from the sect! Yet you choose to turn a blind eye. Hehe, is that really okay?”
“Thump!”
The disciple, terrified, knelt in front of Fang Canghai, repeatedly banging his head and pleading, “Chief, please spare me… Wuwu!”
“Bang!”
Fang Canghai took a deep breath and killed the disciple with a single palm. Then, after glancing at Tan Yun as if he were already dead, he flew into the sky!
Murong Shishi looked at Tan Yun with a complex expression before following the elders…
After the higher-ups of the Artifact Lineage left, Tan Yun sneered inwardly, “Fang Canghai, you will eventually die at my hands!”
At this moment, Gongsun Ruoxi and the others emerged from Immortal Valley, looking frightened.
Gongsun Ruoxi expressed her concerns, “Tan Yun, our Chief is ruthless. It’s not safe for you to stay here; hurry and leave!”
The others urged Tan Yun to leave quickly as well!
Tan Yun looked at the worried crowd and said nonchalantly, “There’s no need to worry, and don’t let this spoil our reunion. Let’s go and drink to our hearts' content!”
Then, everyone drank happily in Immortal Valley for several hours before saying goodbye to Gongsun Ruoxi and leaving.
As Tan Yun was about to depart, Zhong Wu Shi Yao reluctantly told him that after the artisan techniques grand competition, she would come to cultivate in Tan Yun’s Immortal Valley. Tan Yun was quite pleased with this…
