Celestial 'War God' Return-Chapter 280: Xiao Luo’s Visit

Shen Ling shook her head. "I’ve never known Tang Xiao, so I don’t know about his character. However, my cousin believes that he would never do such a thing to those women, and she also believes that they deliberately framed him."

"I don’t know Tang Xiao myself, but I know Tantai Lingyan well, and she would never allow her disciple to commit such a lowly act." Fei Yan turned to her husband. "Do you think that kid is really dead? Why have we never heard any sad news from the Tang Clan? He was not a cultivator, but he was the last heir of the clan, and Tang Huang would definitely regret his death very much."

Miao Cangyu thought for a while before asking Shen Ling. "Do you know the exact time that happened to Tang Xiao?"

"According to my cousin, the incident happened about a month and a half ago, Senior."

"A month and a half ago." Miao Cangyu tried to remember some things before speaking. "During that time, Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan were still in seclusion, so they weren’t in the outside world when the incident happened. Since Tang Xiao wasn’t a cultivator, he might not survive if he fell into the deep ravine. But they’ve been out for a while, so they should have heard the news. I haven’t heard anything sad from them, so he probably survived."

Fei Yan nodded at her husband. "Could Tang Xiao still be alive now? Could someone have saved him since he was the last descendant of the Tang Clan?"

"Since Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan didn’t mourn him, Tang Xiao might still be alive now, but who saved him?"

"Should we investigate the Tang Clan?"

Miao Cangyu thought for a moment and contacted someone to request a report. "One of our people saw Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan at the Sun Clan a few days ago, but they didn’t stay there long, and they left for another region with Old Sun."

"Which region?"

"He doesn’t know their destination." Miao Cangyu answered his wife with a shake of his head. "He also saw that Mu Qingge and Tang Yin were in that clan, where they trained for several days."

"Eh?" Fei Yan was surprised to hear that. "Does that mean Tang Yin is a cultivator now? Why is Mu Qingge with them?"

"Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan are Mu Lin’s old friends, so you shouldn’t be surprised if Mu Qingge is with them." Miao Cangyu was silent for a moment. "As for Tang Yin, I don’t know why they brought her to the Sun Clan, but she has a good relationship with Sun Xiang. However, our people told me something absurd about her, and her cultivation has already reached the Xiantian Realm."

Fei Yan looked at her husband in shock. "Has Tang Yin’s cultivation really reached the Xiantian Realm? If she had already become a cultivator at the time, she wouldn’t have needed to attempt suicide, and she could have easily escaped from all those men." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"That’s why I said it was absurd." Miao Cangyu looked at Shen Ling, who was stunned listening to their conversation about Tang Yin. "According to this girl, Tang Yin woke up from her coma not long ago, so she only started the path of cultivation after she woke up. However, our people told me that her cultivation had already reached that stage, which was obviously impossible to achieve in just such a short time."

"Who taught Tang Yin to cultivate if Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan were still in seclusion at that time?"

"I’ll order one of our men to investigate the Tang Clan," Miao Cangyu said to Shen Ling. "For now, you can stay in our clan, and I’ll inform you of the results after he reports to me. However, I’m not sure he’ll find any useful information for you because Tang Huang and Tang Yin aren’t in the Tang Clan, and he doesn’t know their destination or whereabouts."

"Thank you, Senior," Shen Ling gratefully said.

Fei Yan got down from the chair directly and led Shen Ling away. "I will take you to the guest room, and you can rest and cultivate quietly there."

"Yes, Senior." Shen Ling immediately followed Fei Yan.

Miao Cangyu leaned back in his chair, wondering about everything. "Who taught Tang Yin to cultivate? How could her cultivation improve so quickly in such a short time? Where did Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan go? Is Tang Xiao really still alive? Who saved him from that ravine?"

Afterward, Miao Cangyu contacted his ancestor and asked for his help in investigating Tang Yin and Tang Xiao’s situation in the outside world, but Miao Yusheng refused his request because he didn’t want to get in trouble with Wang Fuxi.

Since Miao Yusheng was unwilling to help, Miao Cangyu could only rely on his men to investigate the Tang Clan, but he was still not confident that he would get any results since Tang Huang and the others were not there.

Shen Ling immediately entered the room after Fei Yan escorted her there, and she sat by the window as she thought about their earlier conversation. "Is Tang Xiao really still alive? Who taught him and Tang Yin to cultivate? Did they both kill my parents and brother?"

After some time, Shen Ling went to bed and started cultivating there, mainly because she was not familiar with the situation on Earth II. Although she was confident that she would be safe around the Miao Clan’s residence, she would rather not take any risk, and she chose to wait for information from Miao Cangyu and Fei Yan in her room.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiao’s clone watched Shen Ling from within the void, but he still had no plans against her since she hadn’t done anything yet, and he was waiting for her next action before making a decision.

Since Tang Huang was with his real body inside the ark, Tang Xiao informed him about the movements of people from the Miao Clan, and he asked his grandfather to contact people from the Tang Clan.

Tang Huang intended to leave the ark to contact the people of the Tang Clan and ask them to seal their clan, but Tang Xiao stopped him and forbade him from doing so, or the people of the Miao Clan would become even more suspicious of them.

Tantai Lingyan and Mu Ling also thought the same as Tang Xiao, urging Tang Huang to allow someone from the Miao Clan to investigate the Tang Clan, as he would be unable to gather any information due to the fact that everyone in the clan was unaware of their actions.

Tang Xiao’s clone didn’t want to waste any time, and he chose to leave the Miao Clan to train. However, he didn’t go too far from the clan because he wanted to keep an eye on Shen Ling, and he went to an area infested with beasts in the region, where he fought with them.

After waiting several days, Xiao Luo, who received orders from Xie Shun, walked into the Sun Clan casually, unaware that his intentions toward Sun Qian and his clan had been exposed.

Sun Qian himself had ordered her family and clan members not to do anything to Xiao Luo and to pretend they knew nothing, mainly because they wouldn’t be able to face the Xie Clan. Therefore, he chose to play it safe and not arouse their suspicion, or they would openly attack their clan, which would only bring misery to them.

"Why did you suddenly come here, Old Xiao?"

"Hahaha," Xiao Luo laughed as he sat down on the chair beside him. "I haven’t spoken to you in a long time, so I came here today to visit you, Old Sun. I heard that Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan were here a few days ago. Have their cultivations improved? After all, they’ve been in seclusion for so long before, so their cultivation should have improved by now."

’What an old fool!’ Sun Qian nodded at him. "Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan did come here to visit me a few days ago, but they didn’t stay here for long, and they immediately left for another region. As for their cultivation, they’ve already reached the Peak Emperor Realm, so their efforts in seclusion for years weren’t in vain."

"Oh! Do you know which region they’re going to, Old Sun?"

"They didn’t tell me about their destination." Xiao Luo sneered in his heart upon hearing Sun Qian’s answer. "Is your cultivation close to breaking through, Old Xiao?"

"Haish!" Xiao Luo wore a disappointed look. "I want to break through to the Middle Tyrant Level, but I feel that stage is far from my reach. A few days ago, I went to the auction at the Xuan’s auction house in hopes of getting some good items to help me break through, but unfortunately, there were too many competitors in that auction, and they were all from those first-grade clans, so I wasn’t able to get any interesting items."

Sun Qian nodded slightly. "As long as the people from those first-grade clans are present at the auction, people from second-grade clans like us won’t be able to compete with them. Moreover, such items have exorbitant prices, and we would have to spend a lot of our clan’s wealth to purchase them. That’s why I’ve never been interested in auction events, and I prefer to work on my own to improve my cultivation because I have to think about the future of my clan."
