Tan Yun used a Spirit Arrow to pierce Zhou Ang's lower abdomen, slowly twisting it, causing blood to spurt out along the arrow shaft from his belly!
Tan Yun thought of Shen Subing on the bed; a bloodthirsty gleam shone in his eyes as he growled, “Answer me! Did Lu Yi send you here?”
“Primordial Divine Eye!”
“Not going to tell the truth?” Tan Yun's eyes flickered with a strange red light, stating without a doubt, “Tell me, who ordered you here!”
“It was Elder Four,” Zhou Ang said, his expression dull as he spoke the truth.
“Lu Yi, I want you to die a terrible death!” Tan Yun shouted, then added, “Who injured the Meritorious Lineage’s Elder Two and the Meritorious Chief?”
“I don’t know.” Zhou Ang finished speaking, and Tan Yun released the Primordial Divine Eye.
“Ah! Tan Yun, spare me… spare me!” Zhou Ang screamed tragically.
“Die!” Tan Yun gripped Zhou Ang's neck with his left hand and tightly held the Spirit Arrow with his right, plunging it into Zhou Ang's forehead and exiting through the back of his head, drenched in blood!
“Brother Tan, what do we do now?” Huangfu Yu, her little face pale, retracted her Holy Light Wings and flew her sword to Tan Yun's front.
Tan Yun curled his lips into a cold smile, “Let’s go to the Inner Sect!”
“Aren’t we going to Fang City? Why to the Inner Sect?” Huangfu Yu was confused.
“You’ll know once we get there!” Tan Yun said, waving his hand. Instantly, a Spirit Vessel, covered in corpses and stained with blood, flew in from several miles away, hovering before Tan Yun.
Tan Yun leaped onto the Spirit Vessel and tossed Zhou Ang's corpse onto it.
“Dear sister, get on!” Tan Yun said.
“Ugh!” Huangfu Yu looked at the Spirit Vessel filled with corpses, covering her mouth with her right hand, feeling nauseous. “Brother Tan, I’ll fly my sword instead; I won't get on the Spirit Vessel.”
“Stop whining, get on,” Tan Yun frowned. “You, a big man with the strength of great perfection in the refining soul realm, don’t tell me this is your first time killing someone!”
“But I’m a girl!” Huangfu Yu murmured in her heart, then said softly, “This is indeed my first time killing someone.”
“Coward, don’t let me look down on you!” Tan Yun replied speechlessly. “Hurry up and get on!”
“Okay… alright.” Huangfu Yu took a deep breath, climbed onto the Spirit Vessel, and Tan Yun maneuvered it, rapidly disappearing into the sky…
At this moment, above the Meritorious Lineage Mountain Gate, within the Sea of Clouds, nine mysterious men in black robes activated their Invisibility Talismans and respectfully watched a mysterious woman in black before them.
This woman was none other than Shadowy Wraith, the one who called for the Artifact Lineage's master!
“Milady, why didn’t we kill Tan Yun just now?” one of the men asked, confused.
“Use your brain! We’re at the Meritorious Lineage Mountain Gate; if we’re going to kill him, we have to wait until he gets further away!” Shadowy Wraith’s eyes sparkled with a sharp gleam. “Half a month ago, I severely injured Shen Subing, and she barely managed to escape. Logically, her death should have been reported by now.”
“But there hasn’t been any news; I suspect she’s not dead.”
“I’ll stay here guarding the Mountain Gate while you nine handle Tan Yun!”
Upon hearing this, the nine men respectfully replied, “Yes, Milady!”
Immediately, the nine activated their Invisibility Talismans and followed Tan Yun from the air.
From the way they flew, it was evident that all nine were experts in the divine soul realm!
Once the nine flew far away, a cold killing intent surfaced in Shadowy Wraith's icy gaze. “Shen Subing, if you’re not dead, then I’ll wait for you to come out and kill you again!”
…
Unknown dangers quietly approached Tan Yun and Huangfu Yu, yet Tan Yun and his companion, maneuvering the Spirit Vessel, remained unaware.
“Brother Tan, are we not heading to the Inner Sect?” Huangfu Yu furrowed her brows, realizing the route was wrong.
