At this moment, Lu Yi felt nine parts sorrow and one part comfort.
The sorrow stemmed from the pain of losing a son, while the comfort came from finally finding the remains of his son, Lu Wu.
“You continue to guard the Mountain Gate for now.” Lu Yi weakly instructed the disciple who brought the jade tablet.
“Wu'er, don’t worry! Father will definitely find the murderer and avenge you!” Lu Yi's face contorted with rage as he flew out of the great hall, taking a moment to reach the Hall of Discipline. He found Han Yong, the steward of the Danmai Hall, and informed him about the discovery of his son's remains.
“Senior Brother, don’t be sad!” Han Yong said with a cold look in his eyes, “I will accompany you right away. As long as we find the remains, there’s a chance we can find the murderer!”
“Hmm. Thank you, Han Shidi!” Lu Yi expressed his gratitude.
“Oh, by the way, Senior Brother.” Han Yong’s expression turned serious, “Master instructed us to eliminate Tan Yun and Shen Subing within a year, but it has already been three months past the deadline and we haven’t succeeded.”
“Master just sent someone here again and granted us three more months. If we don’t eliminate those two within this time, I fear we will face severe punishment!”
Upon hearing this, a sharp light flickered in Lu Yi’s murky eyes, “Han Shidi, after we bury my son's remains, let’s target those around Tan Yun!”
“What do you mean?” Han Yong frowned.
Lu Yi sneered, “Doesn’t Tan Yun call Elder of the Outer Sect Shen Qingfeng his grandfather? Then we will start from Shen Qingfeng!”
“Good idea!” Han Yong agreed, “It’s settled then. Let’s go find Wu’er’s remains!”
…
At midnight, the night deepened, darkness engulfing the world.
“Whoosh!”
Tan Yun rode his sword, carrying Huangfu Yu, and descended onto a lone peak thirty thousand miles south of the Inner Sect Danmai Mountain Gate.
“Dear brother, lie down.” After hiding in the grass on the peak’s summit, Tan Yun tugged Huangfu Yu.
“Oh.” Huangfu Yu, puzzled, lay down beside Tan Yun and glanced at the endless mountains, whispering, “Tan Ge, why are we here?”
“To kill.” Tan Yun whispered.
“Kill whom?” Huangfu Yu asked, confused.
“Kill that old man Lu Yi!” Tan Yun said coldly.
“Elder Four of the Immortal Sect Danmai?” Huangfu Yu was filled with doubt, “How do we kill him in this remote mountain area?”
“Shh!” Tan Yun’s heart suddenly tightened, his body tensed, and he whispered, “Don’t speak, I just sensed several faint spiritual senses sweeping over us. The approaching people are at least strong enough to be in the third layer of the divine soul realm!”
“Third layer!” Huangfu Yu’s eyes widened, and the night could not hide the horror in her gaze.
“Don’t talk, I’ll handle it.” After Tan Yun spoke softly, he focused his mind. In the Spirit Beast Bag, the heavenly slayer demon ape, who was chatting excitedly with the golden dragon spirit lion, heard Tan Yun’s command in his mind:
“Old Ape, it's time to work! I suspect I’m being tracked by several strong individuals in the divine soul realm. I will release you now; reduce your size a bit, and I will lure them out. If they are enemies, just leave one alive!”
Hearing this, the heavenly slayer demon ape grinned, “Don’t worry, Master! I got it!”
“Good, I’ll release you now.” After Tan Yun cut off communication with the heavenly slayer demon ape, he released the Spirit Beast from his waist.
Immediately, to Huangfu Yu’s astonishment, a heavenly slayer demon ape, the size of a palm, with a half-foot-long black stick, emerged from the spirit beast bag.
The heavenly slayer demon ape was at the fourth stage tribulation stage, equivalent to a cultivator at the great perfection of the divine soul realm!
And his ability to challenge levels above him was needless to say; he would definitely sweep through beings at the great perfection of the divine soul realm.
