Tan Yun recognized the familiar Immortal Valley, which was the residence of Gongsun Ruoxi, a disciple of the Immortal Sect Artifact Lineage!
From this, Tan Yun could see that he had arrived at the Immortal Sect Artifact Lineage Secret Realm.
Furrowing his brows, Tan Yun turned his head and looked up, discovering a plaque hanging above the gate.
Tan Yun quickly pulled his head back from the door gap and then gently closed the gate.
“Good, very good!” Tan Yun's eyes sparkled with a fierce killing intent. “Since I've reached the Artifact Lineage, I absolutely cannot let Fang Canghai, the mastermind behind this, go unpunished!”
“This hall is indeed a crucial place for the Artifact Lineage. It makes sense that there are so many Spirit Stones in the six-layered palace. The Spirit Stones here should be Fang Canghai's treasure trove!”
Having made up his mind, Tan Yun closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense.
His spiritual sense flowed like an invisible tide, spreading from the first floor of the palace to the sixth, meticulously examining every corner.
Suddenly, Tan Yun seemed to notice something. He abruptly opened his eyes, waved his right arm, and instantly, pieces of broken corpses flew into the air from a hundred feet away, revealing two teleportation arrays.
Tan Yun clearly recognized one of them as the one leading to the Sky-reaching Spirit Pavilion in Immortal Sect Market City.
He speculated that since Mr. Know-it-all and the others were Fang Canghai's death warriors, they must have used this teleportation array to report back to Fang Canghai when they needed to communicate.
“Fang Canghai, you're doomed!” After a cold smile, Tan Yun stored the golden dragon spirit lion into his Spirit Beast Bag.
He reduced the heavenly slayer demon ape to the size of a palm and tucked it into his clothing.
Next, Tan Yun unleashed the primordial flame and quickly ascended to the sixth-layer palace, burning away the scents of himself, the golden dragon spirit lion, and the heavenly slayer demon ape layer by layer, before arriving at the teleportation array on the first floor and activating it with a Supreme Spirit Stone.
The space within the teleportation array twisted, and after feeling a wave of dizziness, Tan Yun found himself in a hundred-foot square secret chamber.
At that moment, a furious, aged roar suddenly echoed from outside the secret chamber:
“You useless waste! I ordered you to kill a Tan Yun, and you still haven't accomplished it!”
Tan Yun immediately focused, pressing his ear against the wall of the secret chamber.
Just as Tan Yun had suspected, the place he was in was indeed the Artifact Path Immortal Palace set atop the summit of the Artifact Path Immortal Mountain.
At this moment, Fang Canghai was irate, looking at an elder from the Artifact Lineage who was kneeling on the ground, he growled, “Elder Thirteen, the Ancestral Patriarch has ordered that I have ten more days. If I still can't kill Tan Yun, the Ancestral Patriarch will order me to take my own life!”
“Calm down, Chief.” Elder Thirteen said in a panic, “Chief, you may not know, but the entrance to the Meritorious Lineage Secret Realm has long been closed.”
“Now that the Meritorious Lineage disciples are not going out, we can't catch them to open the Secret Realm Gate!”
“Chief, I also want to go into the Meritorious Secret Realm to eliminate Tan Yun, but he is holed up in the Secret Realm. There's simply no way!”
Upon hearing this, Fang Canghai was furious, “Get out! Get lost!”
“Yes, Chief, I will leave at once.” Elder Thirteen got up and left, his face pale.
At that moment, Tan Yun overheard Fang Canghai muttering to himself outside, “Useless! My subordinates are unreliable, and so is the Shadowy Wraith!”
“It’s been so long, and I haven’t killed Tan Yun yet.”
“I’ll notify Mr. Know-it-all and give the Shadowy Wraith ten more days. If I still don’t receive news of Tan Yun’s death, then she and everyone with Mr. Know-it-all can accompany me to the grave!”
