Celestial 'War God' Return-Chapter 250: Talk With The Sun Clan

"Ask her." Sun Xiang pointed at Tang Yin.

Sun Qian and Zhang Xingcai turned to Tang Yin, who glanced at Sun Xiang before explaining to them. "Actually, I didn’t catch Xiao Meng because she was much stronger than me, but my grandfather did, and we’ve locked her up in a safe place so we can get her to confess about her grandfather’s evil plans."

’What a liar!’ Sun Xian shouted in her heart when she noticed Tang Yin’s smile.

Tang Huang spoke directly to them. "Old Mu and I captured Xiao Meng and Xiao Hua when they tried to attack Yin’er, and we’ve locked them up in a safe place now. However, I’m sure that Xiao Luo will contact the old woman, so I’ll return them to their place after I get back from here."

"What do you plan to do about them, Old Tang?"

"What else?" Tang Huang replied, raising both hands. "We can’t fight Xiao Luo and the Xiao Clan openly because the Xie Clan protected them; we must use other means to fight them, including using the two women to weaken them from within. Moreover, they still have relations with several other clans, such as the Jiang and Song Clans. That’s why we can’t act rashly, and we have to think about the best way to get rid of those three clans."

"If necessary, we need the help of several other clans to face them, one of which is the Feng Clan." Tantai Lingyan added.

Sun Qian nodded in agreement with the two of them. "We can try contacting the first-grade clans for help, but I’m not sure that they will take action against the Xie Clan, especially the Huang, Long, Wang, and Liu Clans."

"The Huang and Liu Clans are too cautious toward the Xie Clan because they have a powerful cultivator behind them, so I don’t think they will make a move." Tantai Lingyan thought for a moment. "The Long Clan is just as powerful as them, but they are too selfish and think only of themselves. As long as those heretical cultivators don’t attack the Long Clan directly, I’m sure Long Yin won’t allow them to make a move. The Wang Clan won’t move without Wang Fuxi, but that woman is busier with outside world affairs. Moreover, the situation outside isn’t good, so I believe she won’t order her clan to make a move against them. Thus, the Feng Clan is our only hope to be able to fight against those heretical clans, but we have to talk to them first to confirm that."

"What do you mean by saying that the situation outside isn’t good?" Sun Qian asked.

Tantai Lingyan let out a soft sigh. "As Xiang’er told you yesterday, Xiao’er has already killed several mortals in the outside world. In fact, he has already killed almost all the families involved in his parents’ murder, and his actions have attracted Wang Fuxi’s attention, so she has been chasing him for the past few days."

"I see." Sun Qian nodded in understanding. "Back then, Long Yin prevented you and Old Huang from intervening, while Wang Fuxi stopped Tang Yuan and Feng Yao. They treated Zhao Jing so lowly, and they killed her and Tang Ye before Xiao’er’s eyes. They should have died long ago, but they were able to live freely for so many years because those two stopped you guys. However, they never expected that retribution for their crimes would finally come, and they paid the price with their deaths."

"Grandpa."

Sun Qian turned to his granddaughter and shook his head at her. "Xiang’er, whether they’re cultivators or ordinary people, they must be held accountable for their past actions. Those people violated Zhao Jing by force, remember? What would you have done if your mother had been in her shoes at that time?"

Sun Xiang opened her mouth, but not a single word came out. If her mother had experienced an incident like Zhao Jing’s, and she had to witness it firsthand, she wasn’t sure that she would be able to endure such memories.

"Sigh." Sun Qian sighed softly. "Xiang’er, I understand your intention to protect those ordinary humans, but their mistake was too fatal because they did such a cruel thing to Zhao Jing. Moreover, they didn’t stop there; they killed her and her husband, and they stole everything that rightfully belonged to their children, so it’s only natural that Xiao’er killed them for their past evil deeds. Even though he killed them, he didn’t kill innocent people, right?"

"No, Grandpa." Sun Xiang shook her head at her grandfather. "Tang Xiao killed everyone involved in the incident that night nineteen years ago, but he didn’t touch anyone else, including the members of those families who knew nothing about the matter."

"If he killed those who were involved in the incident, then he did the right thing." Sun Qian nodded his head several times with a satisfied smile. "Even though we are cultivators, we cannot overstep our boundaries against ordinary humans, and we cannot kill them recklessly. However, we must retaliate against anyone who harms our family, especially something like what happened to Tang Ye and Zhao Jing, regardless of whether they are ordinary humans or cultivators."

Sun Xiang was speechless upon hearing her grandfather express support for Tang Xiao’s actions. She glanced at Tantai Lingyan and Tang Yin, who were laughing at her, with a fierce look. ’Tch!’

Sun Qian then looked at Mu Qingge and observed her body. "Congratulations, Qingge. You’ve finally decided to put your past behind you and move forward with your life, but I didn’t expect you to become Xiao’er’s wife because his yang qi is also within you."

"Huh?" Zhang Xingcai was surprised to hear that. "Are you also Tang Xiao’s wife, Qingge?"

"Thank you, Uncle Sun." Mu Qingge shook her head at Zhang Xingcai. "I have accepted Tang Xiao, and I have been cultivated using his yang qi. However, I haven’t decided to be his wife yet, and I will wait until our relationship deepens first."

Zhang Xingcai raised an eyebrow. "Why did you decide to accept Tang Xiao as your future husband, Qingge? Doesn’t he already have two wives? Can you really accept such a relationship?"

"At first, I accepted Tang Xiao because of my daughter, but I’ve spent some time with him now, and my feelings for him have started to grow." Zhang Xingcai looked at Mu Qingge with a questioning expression. "My daughter liked him when they first met at my father’s house, and it happened because of the influence of Zhao Jing’s soul, which resides in her soul space."

"How can Zhao Jing’s soul reside inside Mu Yan’s soul space? Have you seen her soul for yourself?" Sun Qian asked.

Mu Qingge nodded at him and explained it. "Uncle Sun, I don’t know how Zhao Jing’s soul managed to stay inside Yan’er’s soul space after her death, but I’ve met and spoken to her in person. For now, she needs my daughter’s soul power to strengthen hers, and we’ll do something to separate their souls in the future when her soul is truly strong. Once her soul is fully strengthened, we will transfer it to another person’s body, and she will live again as that person."

"Hmm?" Sun Qian stared at her in shock. "How are you all going to do that? Isn’t Zhao Jing’s soul bound to Mu Yan’s?"

Tang Yin answered him straight away. "Grandpa Sun, my mother’s soul does live in Yan’er’s soul space, but their souls are not directly bound, and the presence of my mother’s soul in her soul space indirectly affects her. We can’t explain it now, but we already have a way to separate their souls in the future, with the caveat that we have to wait for my mother’s soul to become stronger first." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"I see." Sun Qian nodded in understanding. "Honestly, I’ve never heard of such an incident in my life, and I don’t know if there’s a way to separate their souls. However, I heard from Tantai Lingyan that Tang Xiao inherited many things from his master, including his violet-gold blood, so he should have a way to do it."

Tang Yin looked at Tantai Lingyan, who shook her head helplessly. Even so, she hadn’t explained much to the Sun Clan members, including about Xiao Ai and the ark. "Actually, we already have a method to separate their souls, and we got it from the inheritance of Xiao’er’s master, Grandpa Sun. However, we can’t do it now because my mother’s soul is still weak, and she will disappear completely if we take her out of Yan’er’s soul space, so we will wait for the right time to separate their souls."

"Doesn’t that mean your mother will live as someone else in the future?"

"Yes." Tang Yin nodded at Zhang Xingcai. "Our mother’s body was destroyed long ago, and there was nothing we could do about it. Therefore, we had to find another woman’s body to house her soul, but we couldn’t use just any body. We had to find the body of a recently deceased woman. Even so, it is not an easy matter because we have to find the right body; otherwise, the body might reject her soul."

"What if there are no suitable bodies to house your mother’s soul?"

"I’m sure there’s a suitable body to house my mother’s soul, but it won’t be easy to find one." Although they didn’t know how Tang Yin would do it, they hoped she would succeed in bringing Zhao Jing back to life.
