Chapter 472: End Of Wedding

Throughout the banquet, Xuanyuan Yueyao didn’t ask Tang Xiao any further questions, but she was certain he had something to do with the demons’ movements.

As a member of the Xuanyuan Clan, Xuanyuan Yueyao was quite familiar with Mo Wang’s character, and she was certain he wouldn’t retreat without causing a major disturbance. However, he suddenly ordered his subordinates to retreat, and his action raised many questions in her mind.

Not to mention, all of Tang Xiao’s wives had entered into seclusion for several days before, but he remained in the sect and asked Xuanyuan Yueyao to train him in the way of the sword.

Since they were dual cultivators, Xuanyuan Yueyao believed Tang Xiao couldn’t possibly leave them in seclusion to practice swordsmanship with her, and she was sure he still kept many secrets from her.

Additionally, Tang Xiao had been practicing swordsmanship with Xuanyuan Yueyao for the past few days; she rarely saw him cultivating, but his cultivation suddenly broke through to the Middle King Realm.

Xuanyuan Yueyao inwardly sighed because Tang Xiao considered her a stranger, and he was unwilling to reveal more about himself to her. ’What secret are you hiding?’

Meanwhile, Song Tiankun and Liao Yexue were anxious because of the recent demon attack. Mo Wang hadn’t informed them of their attack plan, but they suddenly attacked the capital.

Song Tiankun and Liao Yexue didn’t expect all the clans in the Song Kingdom were aware of the presence of the demons, and they worked together to repel the intruders.

Moreover, Song Zhentian, Shangguan Qingyin, Huangfu Lingxuan, and the other clan leaders repeatedly looked in their direction when the demons attacked.

Judging from their expressions and behavior, Song Tiankun and Liao Yexue were aware those people already knew about their relationship with the demon races. Beads of cold sweat inadvertently trickled down their foreheads; they were worried Song Zhentian would lead the others to capture them.

Song Tiankun and Liao Yexue exchanged fearful glances; they whispered to each other and decided to stay low-key to avoid their suspicions.

Since today was Song Tianzun and Huangfu Meizhen’s wedding, Song Zhentian and Shangguan Qingyin decided not to make a move on Song Tiankun and his family. However, they ordered their closest subordinates to continue monitoring the three people, and they would act against them once they had more solid evidence.

Huangfu Lingxuan told the leaders of the other clans not to make a move against Song Tiankun and his family; instead, he asked them to wait for his next instructions.

Huang Lingxuan glanced at Tang Xiao several times; he didn’t know what he was planning against the Song and Shangguan Clans, but he was sure that Mo Wang’s decision to withdraw the demon army had something to do with him.

Situ Yang, Taixu Yue, and Luo Feng didn’t care much about the fate of the Song and Shangguan Clans. Their main task was only to protect Situ Lingxi and Xuanyuan Yueyao, but they still felt relieved after the demons decided to retreat.

Several hours passed quickly, and the wedding banquet finally concluded. Tang Xiao led all his wives out of the Song Royal Palace, followed by Situ Lingxi and Xuanyuan Yueyao.

Situ Yang, Taixu Yue, and Luo Feng naturally followed behind them. Since the situation was safe, they ordered the people from the Situ, Taixu, and Xuanyuan Clans to retreat.

When they were quite far from the royal palace, Huangfu Lingxuan appeared in front of them and asked Tang Xiao. "What are your plans next, kid?"

"I have promised to attend Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan’s wedding, so I will take them to the Taixu Kingdom, and we will stay there for a few days." Tang Xiao’s lips curled up when he noticed Huangfu Lingxuan’s hesitant expression. "Do you have any other questions for me, Old Man?"

As soon as Tang Xiao asked Huangfu Lingxuan that question, Xuanyan Yueyao, Situ Yang, Taixu Yue, and Luo Feng immediately turned their attention to him.

Huangfu Lingxuan exhaled softly. "You were the one who convinced the demons to retreat, right?"

"You can say it like that." After Tang Xiao made that statement, their expressions turned serious. "I have no connection with the demons, and I don’t know Mo Wang either. However, I once crossed paths with Mo Bing on the Snow Mountain, and I went to see her during the banquet."

"Huh?" Situ Yang, Taixu Yue, and Luo Feng were shocked to hear that because they had not seen Tang Xiao leave the Song Royal Palace before.

Xuanyuan Yueyao wasn’t surprised to hear that, as she had already suspected Tang Xiao had made a move during the banquet; however, she was curious as to how he had managed to do it without alerting anyone else.

Having witnessed some of Tang Xiao’s actions before, including when he captured Shangguan Qingyue and his actions against Shangguan Guyuan, Huangfu Lingxuan was no longer surprised to hear him do such things. "What exactly is Mo Wang’s purpose in coming to this kingdom today? What exactly are you planning?"

"Mo Wang came to capture Song Tianlin and Shangguan Qingyue, and Mo Bing acted as his support." Huangfu Lingxuan and the others raised their eyebrows. "Shangguan Qingyue is already in my hands, and I will never hand her over to them."

Situ Yang, Taixu Yue, and Luo Feng were shocked again when they heard that. They knew for sure that Shangguan Qingyue was in the Nine Profound Sect, but they didn’t know about her strangeness.

Unlike them, Xuanyuan Yueyao wasn’t surprised, as she had already met Shangguan Qingyue at the Nine Profound Sect and knew the woman was an imposter—though she didn’t know how Tang Xiao had created her.

Judging from Tang Xiao’s words, Huangfu Lingxuan could guess his next plan. "Are you planning to hand Song Tianlin over to Mo Bing?"

"That’s right." Tang Xiao’s confirmation made them gasp in shock. "Even though Song Tianlin is in a relationship with Zhan Yiran, I know he’s still thinking about getting Mu Qingge. Besides, I’ve never liked Song Zhentian and Shangguan Qingyin, so I’ll use this opportunity to teach them a harsh lesson."

"This." Situ Yang, Taixu Yue, and Luo Feng were dumbfounded, listening to Tang Xiao.

Luo Feng wanted to say something to Tang Xiao, but Xuanyuan Yueyao immediately stopped him. "Elder Luo, I have already discussed this matter with my uncle, and he asked us not to interfere in Tang Xiao’s plans."

"Huh?" Luo Feng looked at Xuanyuan Yueyao with wide eyes. "Does my emperor intend to allow Tang Xiao to hand over Song Tianlin to the demons?"

"Yes." Xuanyuan Yueyao nodded slightly. "My uncle told me to let Tang Xiao do whatever he wants, and he forbade us from interfering in his plans."

Luo Feng couldn’t believe it; he contacted Xuanyuan Lingtian to confirm the truth. However, he got the same answer, and Emperor Xuanyuan ordered him not to interfere in Tang Xiao’s plans.

Just like him, Huangfu Lingxuan also confirmed the matter with Xuanyuan Lingtian, and he got the same answer, which was quite confusing to him.

Seeing their expressions, Tang Xiao spoke to them again. "I will help Mo Bing get Song Tianlin, but I won’t let the demons harm him. I want to teach Song Zhentian and Shangguan Qingyin a harsh lesson, but I won’t let anything happen to their second son."

"How are you going to protect Song Tianlin from those demons?"

Tang Xiao’s lips curled up. "Old Man, I have my own way of protecting him, but I won’t tell you about it. Although Mo Shen and Mo Nu are powerful demons, I dare to guarantee that they won’t be able to do anything to him, and I will bring him back safe and sound one day."

Huangfu Lingxuan, Xuanyuan Yueyao, Situ Yang, Taixu Yue, and Luo Feng were confused by Tang Xiao’s confidence because Mo Shen and Mo Nu were powerful. Even Xuanyuan Lingtian didn’t dare underestimate them, but he was confident they couldn’t do anything to Song Tianlin.

Situ Lingxi shook her head and chimed in. "You guys don’t need to worry about Song Tianlin, okay? Since Tang Xiao said that he would protect him from Mo Shen and Mo Nu, he will definitely protect him and bring him back safely."

"Lingxi, I want you to take them to the Taixu Kingdom first, and I will catch up with you guys once I’ve finished my business here."

"Alright." Situ Lingxi nodded to Tang Xiao and asked the two elders. "Elder Yang and Elder Yue, whose flying artifact is the fastest?"

"Mine." Taixu Yue took out her flying artifact and threw it into the air. "With the speed of my flying artifact, we will arrive at the Taixu Kingdom in half a day’s journey."

"That’s good." Situ Lingxi looked at Tang Yin and the others. "Let’s board the flying artifact, and we will wait for him at the Situ Clan."

Tang Yin and others agreed with Situ Lingxi, and they immediately boarded Taixu Yue’s flying artifact.

"I’ll come with you guys."

Situ Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly when Xuanyuan Yueyao said that, but she didn’t refuse her, and the two of them immediately jumped onto the flying artifact.

Taixu Yue and Situ Yang looked at Tang Xiao for a moment; they sighed inwardly before boarding the flying artifact, and they immediately flew away from the Song Kingdom.

Since Xuanyuan Lingtian had ordered him not to interfere with Tang Xiao’s plan, Luo Feng immediately took out his flying artifact and flew away from the Song Kingdom.

Huangfu Lingxuan looked at Tang Xiao and asked, "Are you sure your plan will go smoothly?"

"Yes." Tang Xiao replied with a slight nod. "Don’t worry, Old Man. I will ensure Song Tianlin’s safety, and he will return unharmed."

Huangfu Lingxuan exhaled softly. "In that case, I won’t interfere anymore, and you must ensure his safety."

"Trust me."
