83: I have an irreconcilable relationship with the Celestial Kingdom Church.

Boom!

The moment Lin Yang's words fell, Yun Bufan's expression changed drastically as he shot into the sky, fleeing towards the outside of the Holy Emperor Sect without looking back.

"He's really a spy, isn't he!?"

Qin Shan and Liu Song were greatly alarmed by the sight.

Originally, they were very puzzled as to why Yun Bufan had been so obedient to Lin Yang just now, even generously giving away his Chaotic Primordial Qi, which he had cultivated with such difficulty.

Now, hearing Lin Yang's shout and seeing Yun Bufan's guilty escape, they immediately understood.

This Yun Bufan actually had a hidden identity that he couldn't reveal!

"Where do you think you're going!"

Although Yun Bufan had advanced to the Half-Saint realm, he was still a bit too green in front of two true old Martial Saints who had attained the Dao for many years.

Soon, he was caught by Qin Shan and Liu Song, who immediately apprehended him and brought him back.

Afterwards, the two also discovered the communication feather on him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Shan broke the Restriction on the feather and released its message.

"Yun Bufan, you useless piece of trash!"

"I told you to deal with that Lin Yang, but instead, you not only failed to take him down but also gave him your Chaotic Primordial Qi, which you painstakingly cultivated for several years. You're truly generous! Do you not know that Lin Yang has now become the Saint of the Holy Emperor Sect!"

"I don't care what method you use, you must find an opportunity to eliminate him! Otherwise, next time we meet, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"

Holy Son Ye Chen of the Heavenly Kingdom Sect's reprimanding voice came from within.

And this was the first time Yun Bufan had heard the full content, and in an instant, his face turned green.

Previously, he had heard half of it and, after learning that his Chaotic Primordial Qi had been stolen by Lin Yang, he had directly cut off the rest of the message and furiously came to settle accounts with Lin Yang.

He had just missed the crucial information where Holy Son Ye Chen clarified Lin Yang's current identity at the end of the feather message.

If he had listened to the entire message at that time, he wouldn't have come to settle accounts with Lin Yang so brazenly, even if it killed him...

"I regret it..."

With irrefutable evidence, Yun Bufan's heart was ashen.

"Yun Bufan, the Holy Emperor Sect treated you well, yet you dared to collude with the Heavenly Kingdom Sect's Saint, attempting to harm our Sect's Saint! You truly deserve to die!"

Qin Shan said sternly.

"According to the Sect rules, anyone who colludes with external enemies and betrays the Holy Sect shall be executed without mercy!" Liu Song also declared with a stern face.

The resounding words of the two Protectors echoed like thunder.

"Execute!"

As the words fell, Qin Shan and Liu Song acted together.

One firmly restrained Yun Bufan's body.

The other condensed a holy blade and struck down on Yun Bufan's head.

During this process, Yun Bufan did not struggle much.

Because he knew that from the moment his identity was exposed, he was already doomed to die.

It was only laughable that, in a moment of panic and irrationality to save his life, he had actually believed Lin Yang's words and given the last wisp of Chaotic Primordial Qi to him.

He had thought he could escape with his life by doing so.

But in the end, he was played like a fiddle by the other party.

"This Holy Emperor Sect's Saint's heart is even dirtier than Holy Son Ye Chen's... Lord, I have a premonition that you will eventually fall into this person's hands too."

A strange, tragic smile suddenly appeared on Yun Bufan's face.

Rip!

Immediately after, a sharp blade sliced across his head.

Then, Yun Bufan's life force instantly ceased, and he died, his body gradually burning to ashes in the blazing holy flames.

A top-tier Prodigy, who should have had a bright future, just like that, perished before everyone's eyes because of his betrayal of the Holy Emperor Sect.

Looking at this scene, the Sect was utterly silent.

"Brother Tang Xuan~, I heard your Tang Family had close dealings with this Yun Bufan before?"

Just then, Xin Ru Yin suddenly whispered coldly into Tang Xuan's ear.

As soon as she said this, countless gazes from around, as well as Qin Shan and Liu Song, the two Martial Saints present, all shot sharp looks at Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan, who was originally still in a daze, instantly changed color, staring dumbfounded at Xin Ru Yin, who was smiling like a flower, with a million expletives running through his mind.

"I have no grievances or enmities with Your Excellency, why do you harm me without reason?"

Looking at the questioning gazes of Qin Shan and Liu Song, Tang Xuan quickly waved his hands and explained:

"No, Elders, I must state here that our Tang Family has no relation whatsoever with this Yun Bufan!"

"Oh~, but when Yun Bufan came before, didn't you enthusiastically go up to greet him and call him 'Big Brother'?" Xin Ru Yin said with a smile.

"I warn you not to speak nonsense!"

Tang Xuan's face changed, and he angrily pointed at Xin Ru Yin, loudly defending himself to everyone: "She's slandering me, she's slandering me!"

Buzz!

Just then, a jade pendant at Tang Xuan's waist suddenly flashed and glowed.

It was a communication jade pendant, which Tang Xuan usually used to contact his father, who was far away in the Tang Family.

And it was Tang Xuan's father who had previously communicated with Yun Bufan and reached a deal.

Under everyone's suspicious gazes, Tang Xuan could only bite the bullet and activate the jade pendant.

"Xuan'er, you..."

His father's voice came from within.

"You what, you?"

Tang Xuan interrupted him abruptly.

"Xuan'er? I..."

"I what, I?"

"I'm telling you, old man, I order you to bring the ill-gotten gains you bribed from Yun Bufan to the Holy Emperor Sect to surrender within three days!"

"Don't even think about running away!"

"Don't think about taking a private teleportation array to secretly leave Central State, then transferring to North Marsh, Yuecheng, Southern Border, Barren Desert..."

"Don't let me see you!"

"If I see you, I'll disown you as my father in minutes!"

"I don't have such an embarrassing father! Goodbye!"

After the roar, Tang Xuan snapped the communication jade pendant in his hand with a crack, completely cutting off the echo from the other side.

"......"

Looking at Tang Xuan's furious outburst, everyone around was dumbfounded.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were still on him, Tang Xuan angrily pointed at the sky and declared in a deep voice:

"I am irreconcilable with the Heavenly Kingdom Sect!"

Watching Tang Xuan's self-incriminating performance, Qin Shan and Liu Song exchanged glances, already understanding the situation.

They surmised that Tang Xuan's father had made some secret deal with Yun Bufan before, and now that Yun Bufan was exposed, Tang Xuan was afraid that the Tang Family and he himself would be implicated, which was why he was desperately trying to distance himself.

And their Holy Emperor Sect, as a great Legacy that had existed for tens of thousands of years, naturally would not arrest and punish people without solid evidence.

Therefore, Qin Shan and Liu Song did not expose Tang Xuan on the spot.

That night.

The Holy Emperor Sect immediately sent people to the Tang Family and thoroughly investigated the truth.

As they expected, the Tang Family's involvement with Yun Bufan was not deep.

However, the Tang Family did indeed order Tang Xuan to secretly help Yun Bufan target Lin Yang.

Therefore, a severe punishment was unavoidable.

Of course, considering that the Tang Family did not know Yun Bufan's hidden identity, after a slight reprimand, the Holy Emperor Sect did not ruthlessly eliminate the Tang Family, ultimately letting them off the hook.

Tang Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving this news.

It was fortunate that their Tang Family did not know Yun Bufan's hidden identity beforehand; otherwise, they would have been in deep trouble this time.

How could the prestige of a great Sect be easily offended?

One misstep, and their entire Tang Family might have to be buried with him.
