After receiving their orders, the elders all left the main hall in a fury, heading towards the Five Soul Immortal Valley.
Despite the various methods employed by the elders, alas, after a thorough investigation, they could not find any trace or aura of the murderer!
Frustration! Anger!
The elders felt like headless chickens, running around wildly without any clue.
Confused, they ruled out the possibility that one of their disciples could be the murderer due to the ongoing Nine Meridians Contest, which had created unrest among the nine meridians.
They concluded that since the murderer could quietly enter the Five Soul Secret Realm and kill two elders, he must at least be a sixth-layer divine soul realm expert!
Three days later.
As the saying goes, good news does not leave the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The news of the two elders of the Five Soul Lineage being killed had already spread throughout the Immortal Sect!
The upper echelons of the Holy Spirit Lineage, Ancient Soul Lineage, Beast Spirit Lineage, Wind Thunder Lineage, and the eight lineages of Dan, Talisman, Artifact, and Array were filled with distrust towards each other, suspecting that the murderer was either from another lineage or that infighting within the Five Soul Lineage had led to the tragedy!
Of course, amidst the confusion among the eight lineages, a greater sentiment prevailed: schadenfreude...
During these three days, especially for the tens of thousands of disciples under Wu Qingquan and Kong Gaoxiang, there was widespread panic and tension, fearing that misfortune would soon befall them...
At this moment, Tan Yun was in the Inner Sect Beast Spirit Lineage, continuing his slaughter in a cave dwelling!
Tan Yun had already severed Wu Hong’s tendons, pinning him to the ground!
Wu Hong had once been the chief of the Inner Sect Beast Spirit Lineage and was also Mu Mengyi's former master. Over three years ago, during the Inner Sect Nine Meridians Grand Competition, he was demoted to elder three by the sovereign!
"Tan Yun, please don’t kill me… I don’t want to die yet…" Wu Hong trembled, his voice quivering as he spoke through the blood he coughed up.
"Hehe, don’t want to die?" Tan Yun leaned down, gripping Wu Hong's neck and lifting him off the ground!
Veins bulged on Tan Yun's forehead, and his features twisted with rage, "You hypocritical scum! When the nine chiefs of the Inner Sect went to the Outer Sect to select disciples, which one of you didn’t fight to take Mengyi as your closed-door disciple?"
"Later, you took Mengyi as your disciple, but you gave your son Wu Feixiong the Dream Fantasy Elixir, letting him defile my woman!"
"Damn it! If I hadn't acted quickly back then, my woman would have already been tainted by your son!"
"And on Coiling Dragon Peak, if your son hadn’t killed himself after I crippled him, there would have been no witness to your death! Otherwise, the sovereign would have wiped you out, you piece of trash!"
"How could you, as the proud chief of the Inner Sect Beast Vein and my woman’s master, commit such despicable acts? You deserve to die a thousand times over, and I still wouldn’t feel satisfied!"
Seeing that further pleading was futile, Wu Hong chose to go all out, "Tan Yun, go ahead and kill me! I curse you today, that you will be killed one day!"
"Hahaha… Tan Yun, you’ve offended so many people. You don’t need my curse; you will be killed by your enemies and left with nothing but bones!"
"Bang!"
Tan Yun punched Wu Hong’s mouth to pieces, sneering, "Don’t worry, you will be disappointed. As long as I don’t want to die, no one can kill me."
"As for you, I will strip you bare and hang your corpse on the summit for everyone to see how miserably you died!"
At these words, Wu Hong’s eyes turned red in anger as he slurred, "You… you monster!"
"If you say I’m a monster, then so be it! I don’t care, go die!" Tan Yun's fingers suddenly exerted force, "Crack!" he crushed Wu Hong's throat!
