“Why? How can you still ask why!” Dantai Yu shouted furiously, pointing at Shen Subing, his voice hoarse, “Do you know? The old sovereign you mentioned has already been killed by that beast Tan Yun!”
“My uncle is dead... killed by Tan Yun?” Shen Subing shook her head violently, scenes of Dantai Xuanzhong’s kind and gentle demeanor flashing in her mind.
She stared at Dantai Yu, tears streaming down her face, “It can’t be... it can’t be! How could my uncle possibly die!”
At this moment, Mu Mengyi, who had just gotten up from the ground, didn’t care about wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. She looked at Dantai Yu and rebutted, “Have you made a mistake? Tan Yun would kill the old sovereign? Impossible! Tan Yun is not that kind of person!”
“What kind?” Dantai Yu’s figure flashed and appeared in front of Mu Mengyi, reaching out his right hand and tightly gripping her neck, roaring, “It's all your fault! If it weren’t for you bringing that white-eyed wolf Tan Yun to the Huangfu Sacred Sect, my son wouldn’t have died!”
With her neck gripped, Mu Mengyi’s face turned red, and she mumbled, “It can’t be... Tan Yun would never do such a thing…”
Before Mu Mengyi could finish her sentence, Dantai Yu waved his hand, flinging her away.
“Sister Mu!” Zhong Wu Shiyao sprang into the air and caught Mu Mengyi in midair.
At this moment, over six thousand members of the Meritorious Lineage had yet to recover from the shock!
The old sovereign is dead?
And was killed by the sovereign?
How is this possible!
Absolutely impossible!
In an instant, various thoughts flooded everyone’s minds.
In everyone’s hearts, Tan Yun, their former senior brother, was ruthless to enemies but always sincere to his own people!
How could senior brother do something that would enrage both gods and men!
At this moment, no one from the Meritorious Lineage believed it!
Just as the elders, stewards, and disciples were pondering, the next scenes that unfolded left everyone stunned!
“Grandpa!” Suddenly, a beautiful and sorrowful voice of an unfamiliar woman echoed. Everyone turned to look and saw Huangfu Yu, the fourth elder of the Meritorious Lineage, her vision blurred with tears, her delicate fists clenched tightly as she walked towards Dantai Yu.
At that moment, Dantai Xian'er felt her mind go blank. She approached Dantai Yu, tears streaming down her face, trembling as she said, “Grandpa, you’re lying, aren’t you?”
“Grandpa... you’re just teasing Xian'er, right?” Dantai Xian'er suddenly grasped Dantai Yu’s arms, crying out as if she had gone mad, “Answer me! Speak!”
“Tell me my father is definitely still alive... please say it!”
In that moment, everyone realized that Huangfu Yu, who looked more beautiful than any woman, was actually a woman!
And she was the biological daughter of the old sovereign!
“Xian'er...” Dantai Yu’s muddied tears rolled down his face, soaking the weathered lines of his face. His cracked lips trembled violently, “Your father is truly gone. He was killed by Tan Yun at the Huangfu Holy Temple today during the hour of the monkey.”
“Boom!”
Dantai Yu’s words were like a bolt of lightning striking Dantai Xian'er!
Her face turned pale, her helpless and sorrowful expression evoked pity!
Her tears seemed to flood the earth, and her trembling lips could not form any words for a long time!
She felt so sad, so heartbroken!
At that moment, she thought of many things, of her mother’s grave illness and passing, while her father was still preoccupied with sect matters, unaware of anything!
She thought of how, in just a few decades, her father worked tirelessly for the sect. He clearly looked middle-aged but had aged like a six-decade-old man.
Thinking of this made Dantai Xian'er feel a pain in her heart that made it hard to breathe, her head throbbing!
She crouched in the dojo, her left hand clutching her heart tightly while her right hand fiercely grabbed her long hair, her entire body shaking violently.
