Chapter 509: The Portals Open

*Tap*

Tang Xiao and the others were slightly surprised by Huangfu Lingxuan’s sudden arrival. The old man gave him some tokens for his group members. "If your group gets separated at that place, these tokens will help you find each other’s whereabouts, and you can regroup much faster."

Since Xuanyuan Yueyao had already informed her uncle about the demon generals, Tang Xiao guessed that Huangfu Lingxuan had already received information about them from Xuanyuan Lingtian.

Tang Xiao received the tokens and distributed them to Situ Lingxi and the others. "Does that mean your granddaughter can find our location?"

"Yes," Huangfu Lingxuan didn’t hide it from him. "However, you don’t need to worry about others discovering your location; my granddaughter is the only one who can find you. As for sect members, she will give them other tokens, and their tokens are not connected to yours."

Although he didn’t know about the void element, Huangfu Lingxuan often saw Tang Xiao using his element, so he had a guess about the old man’s purpose.

Tang Xiao looked at the token in his hand, and he noticed something unusual about it. He looked at the old man and asked. "You gave me this token because you wanted me to save your granddaughter in case she met danger in that place, right?"

"That’s right." Huangfu Lingxuan knew Tang Xiao was smart, so he admitted it. "She is the best descendant in my Huangfu Clan, so I don’t want anything to happen to her. That’s why I gave this token to you, so you will know her situation, and I hope you will save her."

Unlike Xuanyuan Yueyao and Situ Lingxi, Xuanyuan Wenxuan and the other four were somewhat confused after hearing Huangfu Lingxuan’s answer.

They knew Huangfu Meizhen was strong because her cultivation had reached the Peak Tyrant Level, but her grandfather actually asked the weaker Tang Xiao to save her, which didn’t make sense to them.

They thought Huangfu Meizhen should be the one to save Tang Xiao if he encountered danger, not the other way around.

Tang Xiao did not immediately agree to his request. "Old man, your granddaughter is Song Tianzun’s wife, remember? Do you think she will leave him behind if they meet danger?"

"Do whatever you can to bring them both back." Tang Xiao frowned at Huangfu Lingxuan. "Kid, I know you dislike the Song and Shangguan Clans, but I guarantee that Song Tianzun is different from his parents. Even Emperor Xuanyuan fully supports him to succeed his father as king of this kingdom, and he will help him solve all the problems after he ascends the throne."

Xuanyuan Yueyao chimed in. "Tang Xiao, I can’t tell you the details, but Old Huangfu told you the truth about that matter. My uncle has already drawn up plans for the future of this kingdom, but he will only implement them if Song Tianzun becomes the king of this kingdom."

"Even if your uncle believes in Song Tianzun and wants to support him, that’s none of my business. If he’s afraid something will happen to him, he should send his people to protect him." Tang Xiao looked at Huangfu Lingxuan and spoke in an irrefutable tone. "You’ve helped me so much since I arrived in this realm, so I will save your granddaughter if she encounters danger. However, I’m not a saint, and I have a responsibility to all my wives, so I won’t risk myself to save her husband."

After saying that, Tang Xiao pulled Situ Lingxi’s hand and took her away, leaving them behind.

Xuanyuan Wenxuan chose not to interfere in their matters, and he took Zhu Xuan’er back to their room to make final preparations, especially since the portal would open in two days.

Tian Wuxian scratched the back of his head; he also didn’t want to interfere with the affairs of the Song and Shangguan Clans. ℴℴ𝘮

Moreover, Shangguan Qingyue had once kidnapped Huo Mianmian and used the Forgetful Soul Elixir on her, so Taixu Wuxian was even less willing to get involved in their problems.

Taixu Wuxian took Huo Mianmian’s hand, and the two left the area. Although they had made preparations before leaving for the Song Kingdom, he wanted to double-check everything.

Seeing the expressions of Xuanyuan Yueyao and Huangfu Lingxuan, Situ Shuying hurriedly left and returned to her room.

Xuanyuan Yueyao sighed helplessly. "Old Huangfu, you don’t need to force Tang Xiao, and I will ask my uncle to send someone else to ensure Song Tianzun’s safety while he is there."

"Alright," Huangfu Lingxuan agreed. "If only Shangguan Qingyin had not acted foolishly by sending Shangguan Qingyue to him, they would definitely have a good relationship."

"For Tang Xiao, all his wives are his everything, and Shangguan Qingyue made a fatal mistake by intending to harm them." Xuanyuan Yueyao paused. "Moreover, he is a vengeful person; he won’t forget the enmity between them so easily."

Huangfu Lingxuan still regretted Shangguan Qingyin’s rashness and Shangguan Qingyue’s stupidity, but he couldn’t do anything to change the situation. "Did that kid tell you about the purpose of the five generals going to that place?"

"No," Xuanyuan Yueyao looked at him. "Somehow I feel that the demon race’s decision has something to do with Song Tianlin."

"Song Tianlin?"

"Yes," Xuanyuan Yueyao nodded. "My uncle already told you that Mo Wang had done something to Song Tianlin, right?"

"Could it be that they want to use Song Tianlin to kill his brother?"

"That possibility exists, but I suspect they also have other plans." Xuanyuan Yueyao thought back to Ruo Lan’s report the night before. "Liao Yexue and Song Chenglin are on their way to the Shenwu Kingdom, but I have no information about their purpose for going there. However, I suspect they will join forces with people from that kingdom, and they might also enter that place."

Huangfu Lingxuan rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Song Tiankun was such a disappointment, and he chose to join the slaughter of his clan in order to fulfill his ambition of becoming king. If his parents and ancestors knew of this matter, they would probably cry in their graves."

"Hehe," Xuanyuan Yueyao chuckled. "All the Song Kingdom’s problems will likely reach their finale soon."

"I hope that the lingering problems will end after the Misty Ridge." Huangfu Lingxuan sighed. "I will return to my clan now."

"Okay." After Huangfu Lingxuan left, Xuanyuan Yueyao checked the residence, but she couldn’t find Tang Xiao and his wives because they had entered the ark. ’What exactly is your secret?’

After receiving the message from Taixu Wuxian and Situ Lingxi about the demon generals, Situ Chengyan was having a serious discussion with Taixu Wudie and Situ Lingshan in the Taixu Royal Palace.

Situ Lingshan suddenly received another voice message from her son. "Wuxian just told me that Huangfu Lingxuan gave them tokens to locate each other, Husband. Besides, he asked Tang Xiao to save Huangfu Meizhen if she was in danger, but that kid rejected his request to save Song Tianzun."

"I’m not surprised that Tang Xiao refused to save Song Tianzun." Situ Chengyan said. "After all, Shangguan Qingyin sent her niece to him, but Shangguan Qingyue acted stupidly by planning bad things against his wives."

Taixu Wudie shook his head and offered no comment on the matter. "I’ve already informed all the clans about those demon generals, so the situation there depends on them. We don’t know the demon race’s plans, but I hope there won’t be too many casualties."

"This is all we can do, and their lives are in their hands."

Situ Lingshan looked at her father. "Are you still going to let my nephew go there, Father?"

"Yes." Situ Chengyan had no intention of changing his decision regarding Situ Qingze. "I have discussed this matter with Lingxi, and Tang Xiao has agreed to save your nephew if he faces danger."

Situ Lingshan nodded in understanding. "I hope they will come back safely."

"I will return to our clan now."

After the clan leaders received news about the demon generals from Taixu Wudie, the situation in the capital of the Taixu Kingdom became tumultuous.

Some clans considered canceling the expedition to the Misty Ridge, but others insisted on proceeding with their plans.

After all, their clans required vast amounts of cultivation resources for their members, and all the resources in the Misty Ridge were incredibly valuable to them.

.

.

.

Just like what happened in the Taixu Kingdom, the clans in the Song Kingdom were thrown into an uproar after getting news about the demon generals.

They had no intention of calling off the expedition to the Misty Ridge; instead, they dispatched even more of their powerful cultivators to protect their members.

Huangfu Meizhen also ordered several elders who had previously refused to join the expedition to go with them.

Shangguan Qingyin and Song Zhentian ordered several other elders from their two clans to go to the Misty Ridge; their primary task was to protect Song Tianzun and Shangguan Qingyue.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiao and all his wives were unaware of the commotion in the two kingdoms, and they focused on their preparations to go to the Misty Ridge.

Duanmu Jingjing was worried about their group, but Tantai Lingyan told her not to worry about the demon race’s movement; she believed Tang Xiao could protect them.

.

.

.

Two days passed quickly, and the portals leading to the Misty Ridge were almost open.

Tang Xiao and his group had gathered at his residence, and some of them seemed quite nervous about their expedition. They were worried about encountering the demon race there, but he told them not to.

"Look over there," Xuanyuan Yueyao pointed to the sky not far away. "That’s the portal, and it will open in a few moments."

Tang Xiao nodded slightly. "Let’s get ready! We’ll go in as soon as the portal opens."
