At the Hidden Tang Sect...

Tan Shenyu and his family had finally reached the sect while riding Tang Ling’s flying artifact. Upon their arrival, Tang Yuyi and Tan Huangyu had welcomed them back with Tang Yuan and his family. Their arrival had brought new life to the sect especially when Tang Ling had reported what Tan Shenyu had done to those branch divine beast clans that dared to harm his daughter, Tan Bingyu and his son-in-law, Xue Renxue.

Tang Yuyi said, "Those divine beasts! They hate mixed blood, that’s okay. But how can they harm someone who just arrived in this world and accidentally fell on the place they are in. Is being of mixed blood a reason to be hunted?"

"They are being foolish. There are lots of powerful beings in the world born mixed. Are they going to hunt all of them one by one?" Tan Huangyu said as he snorted. He is angered by how unreasonable the Divine Beast races are.

Tang Yuyi and Tan Huangyu didn’t seem surprised that Tan Shenyu had destroyed two branch divine beasts clans. It seems they already knew the capabilities of their son and his identity as the successor to the legacy of the Immortal Sun Emperor. On the other hand, Tang Yuan was stunned. He couldn’t believe that his younger brother suddenly became the successor of the Immortal Sun Emperor’s legacy.

Tang Yuan asked, "Didi, you are the successor of the Immortal Sun Emperor?"

"Em. Well, the master is the Immortal Sun Emperor, this is true. But to call me his successor, this is not right. I might have received his legacy but if in the future the Master had his own child, this child will be his successor, not me. I am only his disciple," explained Tan Shenyu.

Tang Yuan’s wife said, "Being a disciple is also amazing. This is the Immortal Sun Emperor. I heard he had recently killed those who had betrayed him except for the ones under the protection of the Immortal Star Emperor. He even rebuilt the Immortal Sun Empire on some floating island."

"Didi, you’ve met the Immortal Sun Emperor face to face?" Tang Yuan asked.

Tan Shenyu nods his head.

Everyone from the Hidden Tang Sect was amazed as he couldn’t wait to hear the answer from Tan Shenyu. Who is the Immortal Sun Emperor? He is the youngest emperor and said to be the strongest among the other Emperor realm cultivators.

"I did meet him. The first time we met... He burned me with Nirvana Phoenix Flame. He said that the flame will allow me to be reborn. If I am successful he will teach me, if not he will prepare an urn for me," said Tan Shenyu.

Tan Huangyu and Tan Bingyu actually didn’t know about this. It’s just that one day, Tan Shenyu reappeared before them as if he was reborn. Now hearing this part of the story. It seems that their father and son didn’t easily become the disciple of the Immortal Sun Emperor. It’s because he had passed Lord Shen’s test then he had become his successor. This shows that Tan Shenyu had that kind of talent and determination to become a strong man in the future. Now he had truly become a powerful person that didn’t even fear the divine beast clans.

"After surviving, I was indeed reborn with new flesh and my soul was strengthened. Then in the world we come from we found a fallen gods’ tomb where the Mistress and Master had accompanied everyone. It was then that my master gave me his legacy." Tan Shenyu said. "My Master looks so young. He is only a few years older than our Mistress. He is arrogant but this is because he is powerful. He is only gentle towards the Mistress. I heard from the Lord Taiyang that Master is pursuing the Mistress but because of their previous life, the Mistress did not easily accept Master."

Everyone from the Hidden Tang Sect was horrified. They were collectively thinking: ’Is this something we should be hearing?’. After all, this can be considered a private secret between the Immortal Sun Emperor and the Moon Goddess which they served. Some elders were experienced and pretended they didn’t hear anything, acting like a monk chanting for nirvana. The others laugh awkwardly trying to find a way to change the subject. As for Tang Yuyi, Tan Huangyu, Xue Shuyi, and Tan Bingyu, they had this helpless expression on their face, because of Tan Shenyu’s loose mouth.

Xue Renxue on the other hand seems to be eager to hear more and asked, "Then father-in-law, how is the relationship between the Mistress and your Master right now? Are they together?"

"Of course not! How can that be? The Mistress had given away her heart to the heavens, unless the master defeats the heavens and takes back the Mistress’s heart, forget about being lovers, they can only be friends and nothing more!"

The moment Tan Shenyu said this, he would have never expected that someone powerful would suddenly appear before him and questioned him about this situation of the Moon Goddess.

"Are you telling the truth!?"

The one who had appeared wears light grey, luxurious robes with silver aurora pattern at the edge with gradient hue. This man’s long, dark violet hair flows like a river of galaxy on his back. Except this man’s usual gentle smile is gone, replaced with urgency flashing within that pair of amethyst like irises and a hint of disbelief in his tone of voice. This ethereal, handsome man is none other than the Immortal Star Emperor, Xing Xieju.

Xing Xieju, the Immortal Star Emperor upon hearing that the Hidden Tang Sect is a group under the name of the Moon Goddess immediately sneaks out of his own empire trying his luck to meet Yue Xuexia. Their last meeting was too short that he is willing to appear like this in the Outer Haven just to see the Moon Goddess whom he admires the most. He was hidden in the shadows waiting for the figure of the woman he wanted to see the most only to hear the kind of news that he would never have expected to hear about.

No one expected the Immortal Star Emperor to appear before them like this. Moreover, no one noticed it at all. He suddenly grabbed the neck of Tan Shenyu as he questioned him.

"Speak! This emperor is asking you!" Xing Xieju asked.

"DAD!"

"Shenyu!"

However, the Immortal Star Emperor had forgotten to control his strength and Tan Shenyu could barely breathe under his grasp. Tan Shenyu is about to lose consciousness when suddenly, someone attacks the Immortal Star Emperor, forcing him to let go of Tan Shenyu. A spear moves like waves and is powerful as a swimming dragon towards the Immortal Star Emperor.

Whoosh~

"To think that the benevolent Star Emperor would grab someone else’s disciple," said the Great General of the Immortal Sun Empire, Shen Taiyang.

The Immortal Star Emperor calms down after seeing the face of the man who dares to attack him.

"Did your Master allow you to leave the floating island? This is also good. I have a lot of things to ask you!" Xing Xieju said.

The Great General of the Immortal Sun Empire, Taiyang and the Immortal Star Emperor, Xing Xieju had left the territory of the Hidden Tang Sect and fought against one another. As for Tan Shenyu, who had escaped death, he was shocked to see the figure of Taiyang. He knew that Taiyang is his master’s clone, but only he and the Mistress know about this.

Cough. Cough.

Xue Shuyi said, "Darling, are you alright?!"

"Dad!!"

"Don’t worry. I am alright! Thankfully, Senior Taiyang arrived," said Tan Shenyu.

Tang Yuyi complains while looking at her son’s neck with traces of handprints from being strangled by the Immortal Star Emperor.

"How can an emperor suddenly attack like this!?" Tang Yuyi said.

Tan Huangyu said, "The question is why would he even appear here? Isn’t he from the Core Haven?"

Tan Bingyu frowned as she thought of something and said, "I’m afraid that he might have heard about the Mistress’s arrival in this world. He must have known that the Hidden Tang Sect is under the protection of the Moon Goddess and waited for her to appear here. It’s just that..."

"Hearing the Mistress’s situation might have made him lose control. Father-in-law slips his tongue just now and reveals about the Mistress’s heart problem," said Xue Renxue.

Tang Yuyi said, "Either way, a battle between these two men will not be an ordinary one. A’Yuan, activate the defensive formation of the sect. They are too close and I am afraid we might get dragged into their battle."

"Alright, Mother," said Tang Yuan as he commanded the elders to activate their sect’s defensive measure.

Once the defensive formation had been activated, a barrier appeared enclosing the whole territory of the Hidden Tang Sect. They also noticed some men floating around the territory protecting their sect. Unexpectedly, these are people of the Great General Taiyang and the guards Immortal Star Emperor, Xing Xieju had brought with them. Even though they are destined to fight, getting the people under the protection involved with the Moon Goddess to get harmed by them, is something they never wanted to see. Yue Xuexia’s overprotectiveness to her own people has never been a secret.
