"Using their own strategy against them?"
Huangfu Guchong and Han Gu frowned, confused.
"Yes, Master." Huangfu Guchong left with a puzzled expression.
Tan Yun then looked at Han Gu and said, "You stay here to heal. I have an important task for you."
"Understood, Master!" Han Gu responded before sitting cross-legged to recover from his injuries...
The next day, night fell.
The Third Ancestral Patriarch of Law Enforcement, Guan Xuanqi, used the invisibility technique to arrive at the cliff and softly called out, "Sovereign."
Hearing this, Tan Yun felt anxious and immediately let Guan Xuanqi into the cave dwelling, asking, "How is my family doing?"
"Rest assured, Sovereign, the two Ancestral Patriarchs will protect your family." Guan Xuanqi assured him.
"Good, very good." Tan Yun sighed in relief.
After exchanging greetings with Han Gu, Guan Xuanqi's expression suddenly became serious, "Master, you may not know, but there are now many high-level members and ancestors from the Divine Pulse Realm and Divine Domain Realm outside looking to kill you!"
"Our situation is really not optimistic!"
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Tan Yun's eyes, and his tone conveyed a sense of control over the situation, "There is no need to panic; I have a clever plan to deal with them!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a tremor shook the air in the cave dwelling as Huangfu Guchong appeared, dragging a corpse with him.
"Master, I have brought the corpse!" Huangfu Guchong tossed the body onto the ground and hinted, "Master, could it be that you want to use the strategy of deceiving the sky to cross the sea?"
"Yes." Tan Yun's gaze turned sharp and cold, "Only in this way can I quickly make the ancestors looking to kill me give up chasing me."
"Only by doing so can I have time to grow stronger and take back what I have lost!"
At this moment, Huangfu Guchong suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Master, with the Sovereign's Holy Seal in place, no one can take the position of Sovereign from you!"
"Oh? Why?" Tan Yun was taken aback.
Huangfu Guchong explained, "Master, you may not know. Actually, since the ancestor master passed away, he made arrangements to prevent the next Sovereign from being assassinated by thieves and taking over the position. Therefore, he forged the Sovereign's Holy Seal, announcing to the entire sect that whoever possesses the Sovereign's Holy Seal is the Sovereign!"
"It doesn't matter if the opponent steals the Holy Seal or takes it by force; they are still the Sovereign!"
"This news was announced shortly before the ancestor master passed away. On the second day after his passing, news of the Sovereign's Holy Seal being stolen spread!"
"In fact, the Sovereign's Holy Seal was never stolen; this was all part of the ancestor master's foresight."
"Before passing, the ancestor master secretly handed the Sovereign's Holy Seal to the second Sovereign."
"And instructed the second Sovereign to use the Holy Seal as a precaution. If someone truly tries to usurp the position, they can take back the Sovereign's position using the Holy Seal!"
"Moreover, the ancestor master ensured that this secret would be passed down to the next Sovereign, and it remained so even when the old Sovereign gave you the Supreme Exquisite Holy Tower."
"This shows how much trust the old Sovereign had in you, Master."
"Therefore, Master, with the Sovereign's Holy Seal in your hand, no one in the Huangfu Sacred Sect has the authority or qualifications to depose you!"
"Even if they deposed you now, you can still take back the Sovereign's position with the Sovereign's Holy Seal!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun felt a surge of emotions, reflecting on the ancestor master's far-sightedness, and a warm current flowed through his heart.
At this moment, Tan Yun truly realized the level of trust Dantai Xuanzhong had in him. Otherwise, the Sovereign's Holy Seal would not be placed within the Supreme Exquisite Holy Tower on the twelfth floor!
Tan Yun closed his eyes and firmly thought, "Father-in-law, you have given so much for the Huangfu Sacred Sect in your lifetime, while Yun'er has only benefited from it. Similarly, your son-in-law is cleaning up this mess."
