Celestial 'War God' Return

Chapter 407: Leave People Behind

Situ Lingxi frowned deeply, and her jealousy overflowed as soon as Tang Xiao said that, but she quickly suppressed it. "Can we save Sun Weitian?"

"If you want to die, you can go to that cave to save him." Tang Xiao pointed to Situ Lingxi’s two bodyguards. "Even if they both help you, you won’t be able to defeat that female spider beast, and the three of you will become her prey."

Situ Lingxi thought deeply, gazing into the distance. She loved Sun Weitian too deeply, and she didn’t want him to die at the hands of the female spider beast, but she didn’t want to die even more.

Mu Qingge and the others did not disturb Situ Lingxi, allowing her to consider everything first.

"So, what should we do now?" Shangguan Qingyue suddenly asked.

Tang Xiao inwardly sighed, feeling helpless about the situation. "Since the female spider demon is busy with Sun Weitian and the other men, we should leave this area before she notices our presence, and we must find the exit of this forest as soon as possible."

Shangguan Qingyue, Mu Qingge, Chen Hongde, and Su Xiulan unhesitatingly agreed with Tang Xiao.

On the other hand, Shao Yuyan couldn’t leave those people to die, and the people from her clan were also in that forest. She turned to her fiancé, Ming Ren, and asked him, "What do you think, Brother?"

"Since they want to leave, we can’t stop them. The two of us will warn those people about the danger. Thereafter, we will search for the people from our two clans, and we will leave this forest after we find them." Ming Ren looked at Tang Xiao. "Brother, please let us out."

"Alright." Tang Xiao opened a small gap in the void walls, and Ming Ren immediately led Shao Yuyan out. After all, he didn’t know them personally, and he wasn’t a saint. "If you want to follow them, you can come out now, Senior Sister Qingyue."

Shangguan Qingyue raised an eyebrow slightly. She didn’t expect Tang Xiao to be so apathetic and unbothered about others’ safety. However, she couldn’t blame him because the cultivation world was indeed selfish, and other cultivators wouldn’t necessarily care about their safety if they were in the same situation.

Shangguan Qingyue made up her mind. "Even though I know them, our relationship isn’t that close, so I won’t follow them. Besides, they are cultivators with enough experience, and they should be able to choose the best path for them."

Tang Xiao said nothing and looked at Situ Lingxi, waiting for her to make a decision. If she preferred Sun Weitian over her safety, he would send her out of his void walls and leave her in that area.

After mulling over everything, Situ Lingxi finally made up her mind. "Let’s leave this area now! Sun Weitian has never been faithful to me, and he’s been having too much fun with other women, so I don’t care if he dies at the hands of that female spider beast."

Tang Xiao was quite surprised by Situ Lingxi’s decision. At first, he thought she was hopelessly in love with Sun Weitian, and she would try to save him, but she chose to give up on him. "Let’s go."

After leaving the void walls, Situ Lingxi’s subordinates immediately moved beside her. She stopped them from making a move against Tang Xiao, and she also informed them about Sun Weitian’s situation.

Situ Lingxi’s subordinates were shocked by her decision to abandon Sun Weitian, as everyone knew that she was hopelessly in love with him. Since their young miss had already made a decision, they had no right to question it, so they immediately agreed.

Tang Xiao looked at the panicked cultivators before leading his group to leave the area. Since he had no information about the other areas, he led them away by following the path they had previously taken because it was relatively safer.

At the Nine Profound Sect, Huangfu Meizhen ordered several elders to track down the person who issued the mission Tang Xiao’s group had taken. Her sect always confirmed all missions received, but she didn’t expect that the person who gave the mission would collude with a powerful spider beast to trap other cultivators.

Huangfu Meizhen also ordered several elders, including Luo Feng, Zhao Meiyu, and Duanmu Jingjing, to go into the forest to rescue Tang Xiao and the others.

After that, Huangfu Meizhen contacted Song Tianzun, who immediately arranged for several powerhouses from the Song and Shangguan Clans to go to that forest. Since Tang Xiao had informed them of the cultivation of the female spider beasts, he sent cultivators of the same level to hunt and capture her.

"This matter is really serious, Meizhen."

Huangfu Meizhen looked at her grandfather and nodded. "They will definitely find the person who gave the mission soon, and we will punish him severely. Besides, Tang Xiao is no ordinary cultivator, and I’m sure that he can protect the others from that female spider beast."

"I never doubted Tang Xiao’s abilities, but this matter involves Shangguan Qingyue, so we must handle it well." Huangfu Lingxuan let out a heavy sigh. "If Shangguan Qingyue dies in that forest, we will face the wrath of the Shangguan Clan. Even though you are their clan’s future daughter-in-law, her parents will never let this matter go."

Huangfu Meizhen naturally knew Shangguan Qingyue’s parents’ character, but she believed that Shangguan Qingyin could calm their anger.

Huang Meizhen and Huangfu Lingxuan’s expressions changed again after they got Tang Xiao’s voice message, and he informed them that Sun Weitian and several other male cultivators would not survive because the female spider beast absorbed their qi.

Huang Meizhen and Huangfu Lingxuan knew Sun Weitian’s identity and status, but they didn’t care much about him. He wasn’t a citizen of the Song Kingdom, but he was a citizen of the Taixu Kingdom, and he took that mission from another sect, so his death had nothing to do with them.

However, Huang Meizhen and Huangfu Lingxuan were worried about Ming Ren and Shao Yuyan, as they had close relations with the Ming and Shao Clans. Although the two clans were not comparable to the Huangfu Clan, they had a good reputation.

Huangfu Meizhen sighed. "I didn’t expect Tang Xiao to leave Little Ren and Little Yuyan with the other cultivators, Grandfather. If the female spider beast finds them, she will kill Little Yuyan, and Little Ren will suffer the same fate as Sun Weitian."

"Yes." Huangfu Lingxuan’s expression turned gloomy. "Even though I don’t like Tang Xiao’s decision, I can’t blame him for taking such a decision. Little Ren and Little Yuya are quite strong, and they themselves made the decision to help those cultivators, so they must be prepared to face the consequences. Besides, he said that their two clans were in the forest, and they might find both of them soon."

*Crack*

"Meizhen! Grandpa!" Song Tianzun immediately greeted the two before sitting down beside Huangfu Meizhen. "The people from the Song and Shangguan Clans have already departed for the forest, and my father has also sent some courtiers there. Do you two have any clues as to the identity of the person who issued the mission?"

Huangfu Meizhen shook her head. "My sect’s people are tracking that person’s identity and whereabouts, so we can only wait for them to find him."

"Don’t worry, we will definitely find that person." Song Tianzun embraced Huangfu Meizhen. "Regarding Shangguan Qingyue, you don’t need to worry about her. My uncle gave her many things to use as defense, so I’m sure she’ll be fine. Moreover, Tang Xiao is in her group, right?"

Huangfu Meizhen nodded slightly. "By the way, Situ Lingxi was also with Tang Xiao’s group just now, but the female spider beast managed to capture Sun Weitian."

"Hahaha," Song Tianzun laughed after hearing the last one. "I never thought this day would come, and I would be satisfied if Sun Weitian died at the hands of that female spider beast, so no more women would suffer because of him."

Huangfu Meizhen agreed with her fiancé. After all, Sun Weitian’s depraved and cruel deeds had spread throughout the kingdoms, and many had long wished for his death. "Why did you come here? Didn’t you accompany Xuanyuan Yueyao?"

"Sigh," Song Tianzun let out a soft sigh. "My mother asked me to accompany Xuanyuan Yueyao, but she doesn’t need company, and she asked me to see you."

"Tianzun." Song Tianzun looked at Huangfu Lingxuan. "I’m glad you love my granddaughter so much, but you must remember that Xuanyuan Yueyao is your future second wife. Besides, she is Emperor Xuanyuan’s niece, so you must divide your time with them equally."

Song Tianzun smiled bitterly. "Grandpa, I’ve tried to divide my time equally, but Xuanyuan Yueyao herself said that I don’t need to accompany her. She said that the matter in the forest was very serious, so she asked me to accompany Meizhen."

"Alright, you’re an adult, so I won’t interfere." Huangfu Lingxuan stood up. "I’ll go into the forest myself, and I’ll try to save as many people as possible."

Huangfu Meizhen looked at her fiancé. "Ming Ren and Shao Yuyan are also in that forest, and they chose to part ways with Tang Xiao’s group for the sake of those injured cultivators."

"Hmm?" Song Tianzun furrowed his brows. He knew Ming Ren and Shao Yuyan’s characters, but they were too naive in such a situation. After all, those cultivators wouldn’t do the same if they were in danger, and they would leave the two behind if that happened. "I will contact the Ming and Shao Clans now; I hope they can save those two."

"Do you feel regret leaving Sun Weitian behind, Sister Situ?" Mu Qingge asked the gloomy Situ Lingxi.
