An ominous premonition surged within Zhuge Yu, and her expression turned anxious as she exclaimed, “Tan Yun, what have you done to my husband!”
Zhuge Yu understood clearly that when Tan Yun mentioned her husband's name, it meant that he was in trouble!
The change in Zhuge Yu’s expression alarmed Shi Potian, Ru Yan Wu Ji, and the others.
Tan Yun chuckled, “Si Tu Feng has infiltrated my sect for thousands of years. What do you think I’ll do with such a spy?”
“Tan Yun, don’t be impulsive. Let’s talk this out!” Zhuge Yu said in panic, “Please don’t kill my husband, I beg you!”
“Begging me is out of the question. How about this: you all retreat a hundred thousand miles, and I’ll let you meet with Si Tu Feng,” Tan Yun replied.
“Okay!” Zhuge Yu responded in a daze, then called out to all the powerful beings attacking the Secret Realm Gate, “Everyone, stop attacking for now; my husband is in Tan Yun’s hands!”
Although Ru Yan Wu Ji and Shi Potian were unhappy, they didn’t show it. The two immediately ordered everyone to halt and flew a hundred thousand miles away.
Tan Yun carefully observed the sky with his spiritual sense and, discovering that there was no one within a hundred thousand miles of the Secret Realm Gate, he opened the gate.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The Secret Realm Gate slowly opened about ten feet wide. Tan Yun held Si Tu Feng in his right hand, standing in mid-air at the center of the gate, with his spiritual sense still enveloping all enemies.
All enemies were also enveloping Tan Yun with their spiritual sense.
When the crowd saw the half-dead, disheveled old man in Tan Yun’s hand, they couldn’t help but wonder if this was the old palace master of the divine soul celestial palace.
While everyone was confused, only Zhuge Yu let out a heart-wrenching scream, “No!”
Zhuge Yu immediately recognized that the old man in Tan Yun's hand, whose tendons had been severed, was indeed her husband!
Tears blurred Zhuge Yu’s vision, and she trembled in despair, “Tan Yun, what do you want? You tell me, what do you want in order to let my husband go?”
“Ha ha.” Tan Yun smiled lightly, “I, Tan, am not someone who likes to make things difficult for others. Let’s skip the conditions.”
“Don’t!” Zhuge Yu cried while weeping, “You tell me what condition; I will agree to anything!”
“Is that so?” Tan Yun said seriously, “Then I’ll speak.”
“You say… just say it!” Zhuge Yu was thoroughly panicked, thinking only of saving her husband’s life at that moment.
Shi Potian and Ru Yan Wu Ji, on the other hand, had fluctuating expressions. They feared that Tan Yun would use Si Tu Feng’s life to threaten Zhuge Yu, causing her to turn against them!
However, they soon realized it was all an empty worry and even inwardly cursed Tan Yun for being foolish, not knowing how to use Si Tu Feng to make Zhuge Yu yield!
Tan Yun said indifferently, “Can I exchange your life for Si Tu Feng’s life?”
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yu was stunned. She never expected Tan Yun would propose such a condition.
“Ha ha, I said I don’t want to make things difficult for others; you just had to make me say it.” As soon as Tan Yun finished speaking, a terrifying killing intent enveloped him:
“Zhuge Yu, stop making things difficult for yourself. Even if you agree, this sovereign won’t agree!”
“I’ll tell you, your divine soul celestial palace doesn’t have the ability to be a spy in my Huangfu Sacred Sect!”
“When dealing with spies, I only have one way to handle it, and that is… kill!”
As Tan Yun’s words fell, amid Zhuge Yu’s heart-wrenching scream, he “crack!” snapped Si Tu Feng’s neck.
“Boom——”
With a wave of his right hand, Si Tu Feng’s corpse exploded in the void, leaving no trace!
“Rumble!”
Tan Yun wore a cold smile, disappearing from the center of the Secret Realm Gate, which then closed.
After killing Si Tu Feng, the sounds of Zhuge Yu’s curses echoed in Tan Yun's ears. Tan Yun flew thirty thousand miles into the air, landing on a lush peak in the outer gate area, where he summoned the Exquisite Holy Tower, entered the tenth level, and began seclusion!
