Chapter 1152 Xuanyu 8
The thought of an unknown entity watching her didn't make Tan You nervous at all; instead, she was filled with excitement and eagerness. Peaceful times are certainly good, but they also have many limitations.

Where else can one find the freedom to settle scores and seek revenge?
Guests presented the Dragon King with a series of gifts, all sorts of rare and precious treasures, leaving Tan You dazzled. Looking at them, and then at her own empty pockets, Tan You felt truly poor.

She has nothing but a sky full of stars.

The banquet gradually became lively, with guests clinking glasses and engaging in lively conversation. At one point, Tan You tilted her head slightly, her gaze seemingly piercing through the endless sea from the Dragon Palace to see the mysterious starry sky.

At the same time, Tan You's fingers shoved hard across the chessboard, and the previously neatly arranged pieces suddenly detached from the board and floated in mid-air. A huge cage appeared silently, and twenty-eight pieces landed simultaneously at the center of the formation.

Several beams of light fell from the sky; these were the modified God-Trapping Array that Tan You had set up by drawing upon the power of the nebula.

Suddenly trapped, the guests became restless, with some impatiently attempting to break the formation with force. However, once they started moving, they discovered that their magical power had been suppressed to less than one-tenth, leaving them like fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

Moreover, their once-proud and powerful physiques seemed to be restricted, making walking difficult.

Dragon King Sang Yue reacted quickly, suddenly opening his eyes: "I wonder which outstanding person has come to my West Sea Dragon Palace? My dragon clan has never made enemies with anyone, yet you are so ruthless in your attack, fellow Daoist. It is a bit too much."

Tan You chuckled: "Sang Yue, you certainly don't have any enmity with me. But what can I do? Your son and daughter-in-law, Sang Lin and Jin Jiao, are my enemies. They say that a son pays for his father's debts. Your son owes a debt, so how are you, as the father, going to repay it?"

A figure floated down from the beam, and everyone looked up to see her clearly. In terms of appearance, she was neither as glamorous as Jin Jiao nor as elegant as Yin Yue, but somehow everyone found it hard to take their eyes off her.

She has an extremely aloof appearance, but the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes.

Sang Lin and Jin Jiao's expressions changed the most; clearly, they recognized her as the only Xuanwei Merfolk in their tribe. They hadn't expected her to come seeking revenge? Just how high was her cultivation level now?
At the same time, Yin Yue's expression changed drastically. Especially when Tan You glanced at her with a half-smile, Yin Yue almost couldn't sit still.

Sang Yue didn't know Xuan Yu, but he recognized her race; she also belonged to the Merfolk.

But being under someone else's roof, Sang Yue wouldn't be foolish enough to let Jin Sheng restrain Tan You. He stared at Tan You: "What do you want?"

"No rush, don't come up here shouting for bloodshed, it makes me seem so cruel." Tan You smiled and walked over to Sang Lin and Jin Jiao, then glanced at Yu Yan, the maid standing behind Jin Jiao.

Suddenly, he clicked his tongue softly: "About 110 years ago, I had already cultivated to the late stage of the fifth rank and was about to break through to the sixth rank. In order to advance smoothly, I left the clan territory to find the Starfall Grass."

"I found the Starfall Grass when I was on the verge of death, but by sheer coincidence, I ran into Sang Lin, Jin Jiao, and her maid Yu Yan. Yu Yan took a fancy to my Starfall Grass, and your good son Sang Lin, in order to please the lady, seriously injured me."

Tan You raised her eyelids: "Sang Lin's palm almost shattered my heart meridian, and I almost fell into a deep sleep in that trench."

"Sang Yue, why don't you tell me how to settle the score for the murder and theft?"

Sang Yue felt a chill run down his spine. He had, of course, discerned Tan You's cultivation level. Yet, with only a sixth-tier cultivation, she was able to trap everyone present. Truly worthy of a race from the Upper Realm; even if their raw strength was insufficient, their methods were incredibly unpredictable. "Perhaps… I should also shatter Sang Lin's heart meridian? If he survives, he's lucky; if he doesn't, he's just unlucky?"

"No!" the Queen cried out urgently. "Fellow Daoist, I will give you whatever compensation you desire, but please spare my son's life. He is young and ignorant..."

Tan You said slowly, "I'm almost two hundred years younger than Jin Jiao. I remember Jin Jiao was about six hundred years younger than Sang Lin?"

The queen was speechless, unable to utter another word of pleading. Sang Yue looked at Tan You: "What do you want?"

Tan You waved her hand: "How can you say it's me who wants it? It should be about what kind of sincerity you're willing to show. Your son and daughter-in-law seriously injured an innocent person for the sake of a maid. You've raised such a good son."

“I won’t deal with them directly; I’ll come directly to you. Sang Lin dares to act so recklessly only because he relies on your power. If you’re gone, do you think Sang Lin can still act as recklessly as before? Now your lives are in my hands. Why don’t you tell me first, what do you have to offer to buy your own life?”

Sang Yue suddenly stood up: "Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life..."

"You're not a Buddhist practitioner, so why are you talking to me about the virtue of benevolence?" Tan You chuckled. "I see that you are all burdened with karma. Even if I were to end your lives now, it would only be in accordance with the times, and I myself would remain untainted."

As she spoke, she pulled a thread from Sang Yue, coiled it slightly, and laughed, "Do I need to tell everyone how your seventh brother perished in the Yunmeng Swamp?"

Sang Yue clenched his jaw tightly, staring intently at Tan You. If looks could kill, Tan You would have been torn to pieces long ago. Unfortunately, looks can't kill, and Tan You shrugged indifferently.

"They say the dragon race is a treasure from head to toe," Tan You said, fiddling with the chess pieces. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Sang Yue squarely. If he had magical powers, this lightning bolt would have been nothing more than a tickle to Sang Yue.

However, with his magic power suppressed, Sang Yue immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Queen and the dragon princes rushed over to help Sang Yue. The eldest prince glared at Sang Lin and said, "Eighth Prince, you caused this mess, so you have to clean it up yourself. How can you let your father suffer for you?"

Second Prince: "Today is Father's birthday, we should be happy, but look at the present!"

The other princes also started chattering away, and Tan You watched them fight like dogs, looking like she was sitting on a mountain watching tigers fight.

Jin Sheng coughed lightly, intending to use his status as clan leader to manipulate Tan You. Unfortunately, he had barely opened his mouth when two bolts of lightning struck him with lightning speed and precision, instantly rendering Jin Sheng unconscious.

Jin Jiao screamed and rushed over, barely managing to relax when she confirmed that Jin Sheng was still alive. Then she knelt down in front of Tan You with a thud: "Xuan Yu, I'm so sorry! If you want to hit or kill me, come at me... Sang Lin did it for me, it's all my fault..."

She kowtowed repeatedly, and Tan You let her kowtow, only smiling as she said, "You don't think that just because you knelt down, kowtowed, and apologized, everything will be wiped clean, do you?"

"How about this, I'll kill you now, then apologize to you, and you'll forgive me?"
