“Damn it! Come back to me!”
The heavenly slayer demon ape bared its teeth, a surge of dark demonic aura bursting forth, engulfing the five divine souls that were fleeing in mid-air!
Amidst their desperate screams, four of the identical divine souls were extinguished in the demonic aura!
The heavenly slayer demon ape manipulated the demonic aura, crushing the divine soul at the summit, and spoke in a thunderous voice, “You're just a mere ant, yet you wish to kill my master? Bah!”
“I’ve fallen into your hands today; if you want to kill me, go ahead!” The divine soul fixed its gaze on Tan Yun, its eyes revealing a cold indifference toward death!
It was a death warrior of the Artifact Lineage, and it would never betray its master!
Tan Yun approached it and coldly said, “As long as you tell me whose person you are and why you are following me, I can consider letting you go!”
“Tan Yun, you little beast, don’t even think about getting any information from me!” The middle-aged man's divine soul spoke disdainfully.
“Oh really?” Tan Yun suddenly activated the primordial divine eye and stared at the middle-aged man's divine soul.
Since the middle-aged man's physical body was destroyed, his weakened divine soul was easily controlled by Tan Yun.
At this moment, Tan Yun noticed something unusual: not one of the nine had pleaded for mercy!
Tan Yun frowned and thought for a moment, “Are you all death warriors of someone?”
“Yes,” the middle-aged man's divine soul replied blankly.
Tan Yun understood that as a death warrior, he could not directly ask who the mastermind was because death warriors had sworn loyalty to their master. If they attempted to reveal their master's name, they would face heavenly retribution and die!
However, Tan Yun could ask indirectly to find out about the mastermind!
“Do you know who injured Shen Qingqiu?” Tan Yun asked.
“I don’t know.”
“Then do you know who injured Shen Subing?” Tan Yun asked again.
“I know.”
“Who is it?” Tan Yun's starry eyes glinted with cold light!
“It was Lord Shadowy Wraith.”
Thinking of the sword wounds left by the female flying sword on Shen Subing, Tan Yun asked, “The Lord Shadowy Wraith you mentioned is a woman, right?”
“Yes.”
“What is her strength?” Tan Yun inquired.
“Seventh layer of the divine soul realm.”
“Where is she?”
“Lord Shadowy Wraith activated an Invisibility Talisman to hide above the Immortal Sect Meritorious Lineage Mountain Gate.”
“Why is she there?” Tan Yun’s killing intent surged.
“Because Lord Shadowy Wraith did not kill Shen Subing more than half a month ago; she is waiting there to kill Shen Subing once she leaves the Meritorious Lineage!”
“Damn bitch, I’ll deal with Lu Yi first and then kill you!” After making up his mind, a glint of sharpness crossed Tan Yun's eyes as he asked, “How many death warriors do you have? What is their strength? Where is your gathering point?”
“We have five hundred death warriors in total, with 312 in the refining soul realm and 188 in the divine soul realm. Our gathering point is at the Sky-reaching Spirit Pavilion in Fang City.”
“Sky-reaching Spirit Pavilion? Isn’t that the place where Elder Two exchanges for Supreme Spirit Stones?” Tan Yun suddenly realized and continued, “Tell me, besides the Sky-reaching Spirit Pavilion, where else do you often go?”
“It is the Immortal Sect Artifact Lineage, Artifact Path Immortal Mountain,” the middle-aged man's divine soul replied truthfully.
“Oh, who is the master of the Artifact Path Immortal Mountain?” Tan Yun knew he had reached the crucial point!
He stared intently at the middle-aged man's lips!
“It is…” The middle-aged man’s voice suddenly stopped, and then he let out a hoarse scream, turning to ashes!
But in that final moment before his destruction, Tan Yun judged from the middle-aged man's lips that it should start with the character “Fang.”
“Fang… Fang…” As Tan Yun muttered to himself, Huangfu Yu suddenly spoke up, “Fang Canghai! It must be him, the chief of Immortal Sect Artifact Lineage, Fang Canghai!”
