Stunned, Yan Hu looked at his father. "Father, why—?"

PAH*

His father approached him. "Bastard, who the hell did you piss off now?" he asked furiously.

"Huh? Me?"

"Damn it, can't you see what's going on around you? Those two people up there are as powerful as or more powerful than me!" he whispered with palpable rage in his words.

Few could hear him.

The Second Elder, the Fourth... Yan Hu and a few others.

But the few who heard him trembled.

As strong as the Sect Master?! Who are they?!

The internal organs of each of them trembled with fear. The Second Elder thanked himself for not having said anything inappropriate earlier.

If he had said it... he would surely be dead right now.

And several elders quietly took a few steps back.

They felt very afraid.

Yan Hu was the same. Hearing those words from his father made him wake up immediately and look up.

But he felt confused.

Not only were they incredibly beautiful, to the point of seeming ridiculous, but he had no idea who they were.

Even though he loved beauty, knowing how powerful it was, he resisted his instincts and looked at his father, shaking his head.

"I have no idea, Father. I've never seen them before," he replied quickly.

Yan Hutian could see that he was not lying. The fear in his eyes prevented him from lying.

So he nodded and smiled.

"Madam, this is my son, Yan Hu..." he said.

Shi Yue looked at him coldly and then smiled at Su Lian behind him. "Your work has become efficient, girl." She congratulated her.

Su Lian laughed tenderly. "Hehe, thank you, Master Shi. I've been improving lately."

Shi Yue nodded and decided to step aside. She stood close to Su Lian, staring at the elders below as she chatted with her.

Her strange reaction made Yan Hutian look at his son and the elders. He wanted to know if he was the only one who didn't understand, and he wasn't.

Everyone was confused.

What was supposed to be happening?

Yan Hutian cleared his throat and forced a smile. "Madam... May I ask who you are? Just out of courtesy, so I know how to address you," he asked.

Shi Yue looked at him but ignored his question because she had gone back on guard at that moment. Not only her, but Su Lian did the same at the ship's bow.

Toc*

Toc*

Toc*

Toc*

A rapid sound of footsteps was heard from inside, followed by light, soft footsteps.

This sound soon ended when several dozen figures appeared next to Shi Yue and Su Lian, one of whom stood out above them.

It was shocking that they had so much power that no one present, except for the Sect Master, could raise their eyes to look at them.

The Sect Master, Yan Hutian, trembled as he felt the power emanating from the bodies of each of those beautiful women who had appeared.

Their beauty was peculiar. Too absurd. Too unmatched. But the power...

"H-h-how is this possible..." He trembled and took a step back.

'How could they be so powerful and so many? Which Sect has this ability? Tang? The Divine Sun? Impossible, even together they couldn't do it...'

He feared that even if all the powerful beings of the 10,000 Worlds were gathered together, they could not match the greatness of a few dozen people.

If that was the case, where did they come from? Is there a hidden sect with such tremendous power?

"It can't be... Could they be Immortals?" When this question struck his mind and the likelihood of them being so increased in his thoughts, the voice of the only man present spoke up.

"Hey..." Tang Yin smiled. "Long time no see, Yan Hutian. Dear friend Yan Hu."

His voice sounded strange. It was playful, laughable, and... angry. There was an indescribable anger in his tone.

But even more than that...

It sounded familiar.

Yan Hu couldn't understand what was happening. Since when did he have such a powerful friend? How come he didn't know him?

He wanted to look up, but he didn't need to. That man appeared in front of him, right before his eyes.

A face he didn't expect to see outside of his own nightmares. Hair and facial features so familiar struck his memory, and he remembered that talented young man he had once followed.

He remembered the Tang family.

He remembered Tang Yin.

He remembered... that frozen world. He remembered his words.

He remembered everything.

Then, a name he never expected to utter except to curse him in death came out of his mouth.

"T-Tang Yin!"

Those words made him tremble terribly, and his mind almost lost the ability to remain steady. For a moment, he lost the ability to fly and began to fall.

But then he found himself suspended in midair when Tang Yin grabbed him by the wrist.

"Hehe, the excitement of seeing me seems to have made you so happy that you've forgotten how to fly, my dear friend Yan Hu." Tang Yin sneered sarcastically.

Yan Hu looked up. "Impossible... You should be dead."

A smile spread across his face as he looked at him.

"Yes. I died, Yan Hu. Your betrayal and that of all of you, damned ones, led to my death."

Tang Yin didn't want to keep holding it with his hands; he felt like he would get shit on. So, he held it energetically at face level.

"But even death couldn't stop me, Yan Hu. Even it was afraid and fled. Do you know why? Do you know why the demons were afraid? Because they saw all the hatred I've accumulated and need to unleash on someone! That's why I've returned from the dead, Yan Hu."

His arm moved at a speed impossible to see and soon pierced his stomach. "And now you're going to feel what I felt, multiplied by 100 times." A palpable fury revealed itself from his hand into Yan Hu's body.

Yan Hutian couldn't even say or do anything when his son was already vomiting blood from his mouth, with all his organs destroyed.

"Damn you!" Yan Hutian roared and moved forward at high speed, using all his power to strike Tang Yin's cheek.

A point-blank blow delivered by a Divine Master at the peak of his power, at the tenth level! Naturally, it was terrifying...

But not to him.

It could even make his father fear, but not him.

Tang Yin raised his hand and casually stopped the blow. He glanced at him sideways.

"Don't worry, Yan Hutian. Today, I will collect all the debts I owe your Sect."
