Chapter 2056: Broken Trust
Tang Shaoyang returned to the Tang Garden right away and found out what had happened. The area was frozen, covered in ice. He snapped toward where his wives were. Azhug and his workers were trying to defrost his wives. Aside from the God Ranks, everything else was frozen.
He was hit with a panic attack and checked on them. They were frozen, but they were fine. Their heartbeat was normal. However, he was worried about his baby in Li Shuang’s belly. Li Shuang might be able to survive the cold temperature, but his baby might not.
The only thing that came to his mind was to melt them with his fire. He was about to do it until Avyn scolded him.
[Fool! Use your power!]
Tang Shaoyang was in a rush and panic, trying to understand what Avyn said. Fire was one of his fires, and he believed his fire would be able to melt this ice. As long as he was careful, the fire would not harm them.
[Summon me!]
He summoned Avyn without hesitation. As soon as she appeared, she absorbed the energy that created the ice. In just ten seconds, the climate returned to normal with lingering cold energy. He rushed toward Li Shuang, as did Kang Xue.
“Let me check the baby!” She did not hesitate to push Tang Shaoyang and placed her hand on the bulging belly. The white energy shone in her hand, and Kang Xue breathed out in relief.
“The baby is fine, and it seems the cold stimulates the baby as well.”
One thing they forgot, this was Tang Shaoyang’s baby. A baby that inherits his dragon’s bloodline would not be that weak to be killed by the cold temperature.
Tang Shaoyang was relieved, but he almost got a second panic attack as he heard the cries of his daughters. He just remembered that his daughters were here as well. With his Chaos Eyes, he saw where they were and rushed toward them.
Sacrecio was with them, and the stag didn’t know what to do. This was his first experience with crying children. The moment the four found their fathers, they all rushed toward him while crying. They were all scared of getting frozen like that.
Tang Xiulan was fine, but Cecilia, Li Yue, and Li Jiaying were having a hard time handling the cold. He warmed them up with his touch, making them feel better. He realized that his daughters were in real danger, not the baby. Cecilia, Li Jiaying, and Li Yue were in real danger. If not for Avyn’s quick action, he could not imagine what would happen to them.
He brought them back to the center of the Tang Garden. They were still sobbing as he explained what happened. He didn’t tell them in detail, but he told them that bad guys sneaked into their garden and did this.
When he returned, he was met with his wives’ angry glares. They were certainly angry because he invited those people here.

The Starter City, God Realm
“What’s the meaning of this, Chief Avourel?” Khaya raised his voice. She was shocked by what happened just now and could not believe what they tried to do. Regardless of how new the Tang Empire was to the God Realm, they should not be able to ignore Tang Shaoyang’s status as Executive Administrator.
The Daenelis Clan’s situation was bad enough, as her status as Chief Administrator could no longer act as a deterrent to the neighboring clans. She thought joining the Tang Empire would save them from their enemies, but her Chief and the Clan Elders had a different plan, a scheme that she was not aware of.
“Calm down, Khaya. He will return and be on his knees, begging us to save his weakling wives. This is how you negotiate,” Chief Avourel waved his hand at Khaya, dismissing her concerns.
“Even if he goes mad, we have prepared our people. What can one God Rank do against 27 God Ranks?” Elder Oriphine cackled, “If he doesn’t comply with our demand, we have a plan B that might work better for us. You don’t worry. We have prepared everything.”
Khaya’s eyes widened in shock as she blurted out, “Oh no…” She realized what had happened. The Chief and the Elders were underestimating Tang Shaoyang. They had not seen how scary her captain was, but she had seen what he was capable of.
They thought 27 God Ranks would be enough to handle Tang Shaoyang, but they were not aware that her Captain was basically an army by himself. She never saw all the spirits fight by themselves, but through Spirit Fusion, she could tell how strong these spirits were.
“Don’t tell me you have truly fallen for him, Khaya?” Arsus, Chief Avourel’s son, who made trouble against Tang Shaoyang during their first mission, spoke up. Without a doubt, he had a grudge against Tang Shaoyang; this was his chance for payback.
Khaya ignored them as she flopped down on the couch, closing her eyes while massaging the space between her eyes. She tried to recall what Elder Oriphine shot before they were forcefully expelled. She hoped that would not endanger Tang Shaoyang’s wives. Even if that didn’t endanger his wives, that would be enough to anger him.
“Leave! Leave this place while you can. I will hold him as long as I can. Get our people ready to move out as well. It’s just a matter of time until he finds where our home is.”
It was easy to find where the Daenelis Clan came from for someone with Tang Shaoyang’s status. Even without that status, Tang Shaoyang could pay the Information Guild or merchants to find their home.
“Don’t you hear us, Khaya? He will be on his knees once he returns if he wants to save his wives,” Chief Avourel sneered arrogantly, thinking the situation was in their control. “Even if he doesn’t care about his wives, we have prepared our people. Not just 27 God Ranks because we hired the Shadow Stars for this mission.”
Khaya just shook her head, gave up, and accepted her fate, “Do whatever you want! You will soon find out and regret your stupidity.”
The moment she finished her words, Tang Shaoyang returned to the same room with them. He was no longer in his human form, but in his Bloodline Transformation. His aura flared the moment he appeared there and froze everyone in the room.
There was a city-wide alert, and the red screen flashed before everyone’s eyes. It was a warning, telling whoever used that aura to stop. However, the warning was sent to everyone in the city, alerting them about the danger.
Tang Shaoyang’s figure blurred, using Blink, and appeared behind Elder Oriphine. Before anyone could react, his hand pierced through Elder Oriphine’s chest from behind. His hand went through the elf’s body, holding a beating heart in his head.
He crushed the heart in front of everyone. Blood and flesh splattered all around. He pulled his hand as a sword appeared in his hand. Then he slashed the sword upward, from the crotch up to her head, splitting the body into two. He didn’t stop as he slashed the sword horizontally, slicing the body into four parts.
Elder Oriphine’s eyes were still moving, her hands were twitching. She still had her awareness as all of it happened to her body. Her body fell off in four parts, and before the four parts could touch the floor, it was burned by the black fire, leaving no trace behind, not even leaving her ashes.
Tang Shaoyang even refused to use her body for sacrifice. He thought of torture, but he thought of the bigger picture, a warning. He would use the Daenelis Clan as a warning to the others what it meant if they antagonized him or even tried to hurt his family.
He then set his eyes on Chief Avourel, but then he locked his gaze on Elder Ivaran. He locked his second target. At this moment, a lot of people broke into the room. Elves were coming in from the door, windows, and ceiling. At the same time, seven figures flashed out from the shadow, lunging toward him.
Tang Shaoyang chuckled and was about to make his move, but then a massive pressure fell on him. Not just him, but everyone else. The pressure was so heavy that it slowed him down. But the pressure worked differently on the others. That pressure completely froze them all while he could still move.
“This will make things easier for me,” He was about to walk to Elder Ivaran, until he sensed a presence, not just one, but three presences.
“I don’t think it will be easy for you, Tang.”
He turned around when he heard a familiar voice. Arion, Clementine, and another Executive Administrator called Baba appeared not far from here.
“Things are not easy unless you can give a reasonable explanation of what happened here, newbie!” Baba added with his gruff voice.
Tang Shaoyang grinned ear to ear, “They tried to kill my family, but I killed them first. That’s a reasonable explanation, no?”
