"Humiliated human, I advise you to take back your words, or I will make the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range flow with blood like a river!" the old man roared. "Do you know who I am?"
"I am the current ruler of the Beast Domain! I am a Tenth Rank Demon Beast!"
However, Mo'er, the golden dragon spirit lion, and the heavenly slayer demon ape appeared particularly calm.
"Human, release my son, and then..." The old man's voice paused as he extended a bony finger, pointing at the heavenly slayer demon ape, and emphasized each word: "Let it commit suicide to apologize, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Tan Yun interrupted with a cold laugh and turned to Tian Lao, asking, "How far is the Beast Domain from the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range?"
Though Tian Lao did not understand why Tan Yun asked this question, he answered truthfully, "Reporting to the master, the Beast Domain is located at the southernmost part of the Heavenly Punishment Continent, and the distance to the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range is extremely far. At my flying speed, it would take at least a thousand years!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun murmured, "If Tian Lao needs a thousand years for the ninth layer of the divine domain realm, then a Tenth Rank Demon Beast would require at least a hundred years."
"In a hundred years, I will be strong enough."
At this moment, the old man, furious beyond measure, said, "Human, I am speaking to you! If you agree, I will not make things difficult for you. If you do not agree, I..."
Tan Yun suddenly interrupted him with a smile, extending a finger and sternly declaring, "Get the hell out of here! What if you are the ruler of the Beast Domain?"
"Don't forget, you are merely a remnant soul lurking within your son's body; I can extinguish you with a single finger!"
"Your son attacked my Sacred Sect's elder of law enforcement. Today, not only will I destroy your son's Beast Spirit, but I will also kill this remnant soul of yours!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tan Yun pushed forward with his right hand, unleashing a beam of spiritual power that struck the taotie’s Beast Spirit.
"No..."
"Father, remember to take revenge for me!"
The taotie's Beast Spirit was annihilated amidst its unwilling screams!
"My son… my dear son!" The old man within the light barrier cried out in immeasurable sorrow. "Human, you are doomed! When my true self descends, I will bury all living beings of the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range alongside my son!"
"Hmph." Tan Yun coldly snorted. "Old man, as long as you have the ability, I, Tan Yun, will wait for you to battle!"
"I advise you to stay obediently in the Beast Domain; otherwise, even if you don't attack me, I will come to your nest!"
The old man's body trembled with rage, suddenly disappearing. In the next moment, he transformed into a towering behemoth over three thousand feet tall!
It was still a taotie!
"Lowly human, prepare to die!" the furious voice echoed from the taotie's remnant soul.
"Lowly? You dare call my master lowly?" The heavenly slayer demon ape looked up at the taotie's remnant soul and scoffed. "Let me tell you, if we argue over who is nobler, remember, you do not even qualify to hold my master's shoes!"
"Now, go die first!"
The heavenly slayer demon ape, enduring its injuries, charged into the light barrier, swinging its staff and smashing the taotie's head.
In an instant, the taotie's remnant soul shattered in the snowy sky.
Tan Yun glanced at the injured Mo'er and the heavenly slayer demon ape, said a few words of concern, then looked at the pale-faced Tian Lao, Wei Quan, Huangfu Guchong, and Song Huixin, saying, "Do not fear the Beast Domain."
"Even if the ruler of the Beast Domain leads the demon beasts out, they won’t arrive for at least a hundred years."
"A hundred years may seem long or short to many people, but for me, a hundred years can change a lot. At the very least! After a hundred years, no one will dare to invade my Huangfu Sacred Sect!"
After speaking, Tan Yun's expression turned somber. "Tian Lao, after returning to the sect, you will personally create a statue for Senior Yuwen. He sacrificed too much for the Huangfu Sacred Sect!"
