Celestial 'War God' Return-Chapter 290: Two Pills

An hour later, the glass capsule had stopped operating, but Xiao Ai was in the treasury vault retrieving some pills. Tang Xiao’s clone immediately took Xiao Ming out of it and woke him up.

Unlike before, Xiao Ming looked at Tang Xiao’s clone with great respect after Xiao Ai modified his memories, making him completely loyal to her master. "Who am I to you?"

"My master."

Tang Xiao’s clone nodded in satisfaction with that. "From now on, your main task is to weaken all your clan members from within, especially your grandfather, father, and mother."

"Yes, Master."

Tang Xiao’s clone rubbed his chin, thinking about some other things. "Are your grandfather and father already planning to arrange your marriage to Xiao Meng when you both return?"

"Master, my grandfather has been preparing for our wedding for a long time, and we will get married in a few days after my big sister returns to our clan."

"In that case, you can marry Xiao Meng, but you must not touch her."

"Do you like my big sister, Master?"

"I don’t like her." Tang Xiao’s clone looked at Xiao Ai, who had just returned from the treasury vault. "Are there any pills useful for taking down the people of the Xiao Clan that other cultivators won’t detect?"

Xiao Ai gave two types of pills to Xiao Ming as she explained to her master. "The first pill is the Five Viscera Pill, and it will cause people who swallow it to experience extreme pain in their inner organs for eight hours per day after consumption. The second pill is the Heart Illusion Pill, and it will cause the person who swallows it to hallucinate at night, depending on the fear within them."

"What would happen if they couldn’t withstand the effects of the Five Viscera Pill?" Tang Xiao’s clone took the pill from Xiao Ming’s hand and observed it.

"If they swallow one pill whole, they will probably die with their internal organs destroyed, Master." Tang Xiao’s clone looked at Xiao Ai in shock. "That’s why I just gave him one pill, and he could mix it into their drinking water, so the effect wouldn’t be too strong for them. Moreover, the effect would continue to work as long as they didn’t swallow the antidote, and no cultivators from Earth II could make the antidote."

"How long will the pain last if they don’t swallow the full pill?"

"If I recall correctly, the painful effects will only last one to two hours for each day if we mix it into their drinking water."

Tang Xiao’s clone didn’t want the Xiao Clan members to die, and he wanted to make them suffer for a long time. Moreover, the Xie Clan would be suspicious if they suddenly died, which would bring new problems for the Sun Clan.

"I think one to two hours is better than them dying from the effects of the pill." Tang Xiao’s clone returned the pill to Xiao Ming. "What about the duration of the effect of the Heart Illusion Pill?"

"A week." Tang Xiao’s clone felt that the effect was not long enough. "Master, the effect won’t last long, but you have to remember that some cultivators have weak mental strength. Therefore, a week is enough to make them terrified by the fear inside them, and they will go insane if their mental strength collapses."

"I think these two pills are enough for now, and I can’t wait to see their expressions after they take them both." Tang Xiao’s clone grabbed Xiao Ming’s shoulder. "I’ll take him out now."

Xiao Ai shook her head slightly after they disappeared. "In the past, the old master almost never tortured his enemies, but the young master had a tendency to cruelly torture them."

"What have you done to him?" Xiao Meng asked as she observed Xiao Ming’s face.

Tang Xiao’s clone looked at Xiao Ming. "Immediately execute my plan once you arrive at your clan."

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Meng was shocked to hear her brother refer to Tang Xiao’s clone as his master. "Did you change his memories?"

"Yeah."

"In that case, I—"

"You should return to your clan, and I will monitor your family through you." Xiao Meng didn’t want to return to the Xiao Clan because her family would force her to marry her half-brother, but Tang Xiao’s clone forced her to return. "Why should you worry about that? He’s already under my control, and he won’t do anything to you."

"Is he really not going to do anything to me?"

"Do I need to lie to you?" Tang Xiao’s clone shook his head in response. "Even though I dislike you and you’re my enemy, I’ll help you avoid that situation, but I won’t help you any more than this. Since you won’t be able to avoid your grandfather and father forever, you have no other choice but to marry him, but he will never touch you without my orders. Once we’ve resolved all the problems, you can do whatever you want with your life."

Xiao Meng stared at Tang Xiao’s clone for some time before nodding to him. "I will return to my clan."

"Go." Xiao Hua immediately grabbed Xiao Meng and Xiao Ming’s shoulders, taking the two of them away from that place to the Xiao Clan.

[Are you returning to the Miao Clan, Master?]

"The wild beasts in that region are much stronger than the ones I faced in the southern region, so I’ll continue training there. Furthermore, I can keep an eye on the Xiao Clan from afar, and I also have you to help me, so I won’t waste my time in this region." Thereafter, Tang Xiao’s clone returned to the outside world, and he went to the location of the portal that connected him to the region where the Miao Clan lived.

Upon arrival, Tang Xiao’s clone didn’t go straight to the Miao Clan because it was still midnight; instead, he went to the East River and spent the night there.

[Do you have plans to go to the Xue Clan, Master?] Tang Xiao’s clone raised an eyebrow and looked at the snow mountain quite far to the north of his location. [Xue Bai will definitely be happy if you take her to her natural habitat, but the two women from that clan will definitely come to you to take her back.]

"Xue Bai is my beast contract now, so I will never hand her over to those two women." Tang Xiao’s clone suddenly remembered something. "Yi An and Ouyang Qing are leaving for Paris today, right? I have to go back there to see them off, and I will take the others to Earth II after they leave."

[The cultivators’ meeting will be held tomorrow, Master.]

Tang Xiao’s clone nodded slightly. "I won’t be joining the meeting, and they can handle everything themselves. However, I will still go there to look for Long Xianyin, and I have to find a way to get close to her without making her suspicious of me."

[Are you really going to use Long Xianyin against Long Yin, Master?]

Tang Xiao’s clone’s expression was a mixture of sadness and anger after Xiao Ai asked that. "Long Xianyin should have known about Long Yin’s decision to stop my grandfather and master nineteen years ago, but she didn’t stop her brother from doing so. Because of her brother, my parents died that night, and my mother endured extreme humiliation before her death. Therefore, I would use his family members against him, including his sister."

Xiao Ai chose not to say anything because her master’s heart was already filled with hatred for Long Yin, and he would do anything to take revenge on him for the deaths of his parents.

Thereafter, Tang Xiao’s clone decided to go to another area, and he fought with wild beasts to relieve his anger.

In the room, Tang Xiao lay down with Xing Xing and Tang Yin on either side of him. "After I drop Yi An and Ouyang Qing off at the airport this morning, I’ll take you all to Earth II, and we’ll focus on training there."

"Hehe," Tang Yin giggled. "Since Sister Qingge and I are already on Earth II, I’ll wait for you all there, and we’ll start our training once you arrive."

Xing Xing looked at him. "Are all wild beasts that scary, Husband? Although I’ve trained a lot since I became a cultivator, I’ve never fought one before, so I have some concerns in my heart. Moreover, my mother hasn’t trained for long, so I’m afraid something bad will happen to her when she fights those wild beasts."

"Xing’er, I understand your worries, but you must know that I will not let anything bad happen to my mother-in-law." Xing Xing knew that, but she was still worried about Chu Lingxi. "Moreover, Aunt Yuan and Feng Yao will be joining us, and they will protect everyone, so you don’t have to worry about that."

Tang Yin also reassured Xing Xing. "Sister Qingge will be joining us too, so you don’t have to worry about your mother, Xing’er. After the meeting is over, my grandfather and Big Sis Lingyan will be joining us too, so I’m sure we’ll all be safe."

After that, Tang Xiao took turns dual cultivating with Tang Yin and Xing Xing while waiting for the day to lighten outside.

When the time came, Tang Xiao immediately exited the ark and went to the Yi House to escort Yi An and Ouyang Qing to the airport. "Is everything ready?"
