A bloodied head, covered by long hair, evoked an ominous premonition that surged from the heart of Nangong Holy Lord!
“Ah... it’s Sister Holy Mother’s!” Imperial Concubine Liu, sitting in her seat, let out a piercing scream.
“Holy Mother!” Nangong Holy Lord cried out in anguish.
A thick mist rose in the air!
“Ruo'er!” Shi Potian trembled, tears streaming down his face.
His wife, Yin Yuhuang, felt dizzy!
Without a doubt, the news of Shi Wanruo's death was like a bolt from the blue for her!
At that moment, everyone inside and outside the hall was stunned.
They never expected that the Nangong Holy Mother had actually been killed!
“Oh, my daughter! My dear daughter!” Yin Yuhuang, at the fifth layer of the domain胎 realm, cried out and then glared at Tan Yun, shouting, “I’m going to kill you!”
“I'll tear you to pieces!” Shi Potian's face turned red with anger, and just as he was about to strike, Tan Yun shouted, “If you want to kill me, you should ask if Ru Yan Gao Xian agrees!”
As he spoke, Tan Yun grabbed one of Ru Yan Chen's fingers with his right hand and with a “crack!” he forcibly broke it!
“Ah!” Ru Yan Chen let out a heart-wrenching wail.
Tan Yun had firmly decided yesterday that capturing Ru Yan Chen would be equivalent to having a life-saving talisman.
He was confident that with Ru Yan Chen in his hands, Ru Yan Gao Xian would absolutely not allow Shi Potian and Yin Yuhuang to act against him.
And indeed!
“Clan Head Shi, wait!” Ru Yan Gao Xian's aged voice rang out as he appeared in the center of the hall, blocking the way of the two.
“Ru Yan Gao Xian, he killed my daughter! Get out of my way!” Shi Potian roared.
“I can’t let you!” Ru Yan Gao Xian suddenly exuded a powerful aura from the seventh layer of the domain胎 realm, and he said in a deep voice, “Chen'er is still in his hands!”
“That's right! With your couple’s strength, killing Tan Yun would be easy, but my grandson would be in danger!”
“So I’m sorry, I can’t let you act, or else, if anything happens to Chen'er...”
At that moment, Tan Yun, fearing that chaos would ensue, chimed in, “If anything happens to Ru Yan Chen, the culprits would be the two of you!”
“You make me furious!” Shi Potian’s eyes burned with rage.
“Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please calm down and listen to me!” Nangong Holy Lord suppressed the pain of losing his wife and said loudly, “Tan Yun is treacherous and cunning; he must have calculated to use Ru Yan Chen to force Ru Yan Gao Xian to be his shield!”
“Our top priority now is to rescue Ru Yan Chen, and then we can kill Tan Yun.”
“Even if we can’t kill him today, we can still attack Huangfu Sacred Sect in the future!”
Upon hearing this, Ru Yan Gao Xian said solemnly, “The Holy Lord is right. Tan Yun has treated my grandson cruelly, and today he has insulted Nangong Holy Lord, Eternal Immortal Sect, and Divine Soul Celestial Palace. I share your feelings; I also want nothing more than to grind Tan Yun to dust!”
“However, with Chen'er in this beast's hands, we really cannot act rashly!”
“There are some things I would rather not say, but I must clarify in advance. Even if you kill Tan Yun, if anything happens to my grandson, the enmity between Eternal Immortal Sect and Nangong Sacred Dynasty, as well as the Stone Clan, will have been established!”
“If we can save my grandson's life, then the Eternal Immortal Sect will not break our alliance with Nangong Sacred Dynasty because of this marriage!”
“Consider the pros and cons of this matter carefully!”
Upon hearing this, Shi Potian and Yin Yuhuang could only heed Ru Yan Gao Xian's advice.
However, the two proposed that as long as they successfully rescued Ru Yan Chen, they would pursue Tan Yun with all their might, leaving him no chance to survive!
“Of course!” Ru Yan Gao Xian candidly stated and then discreetly transmitted a message to Shi Potian, Yin Yuhuang, and Nangong Holy Lord: “Just now, I was merely pretending to confuse Tan Yun, letting this scoundrel relax his guard. Follow my command and strike together!”
