"There is something fishy going on here."
Fine, Qian Xunji admitted that he had indeed played some small tricks on the Titan Giant Ape.
But those minor maneuvers were nowhere near enough to leave Tang Hao in such a critically wounded state.
In that case, the only explanation was that those fellows in the heavens were meddling.
What truly detestable bastards they were!
Qian Xunji decided that once his strength was sufficient, once this sky could no longer obscure his vision, he would certainly find those two and have a proper "discussion" with them, so that they might learn how to be decent human beings in their next lives.
Tang Wei's posture suggested he was preparing to head to the Worship Hall to find Qian Daoliu!
What a group of bothersome pests.
Qian Xunji muttered to himself, venting all his dissatisfaction with Tang Wei and the others onto Tang Yuehua, who was currently on all fours.
He leaned against Tang Yuehua's back, pressed close to her ear, and whispered, "Little Yuehua, your father and brother really don't know how to keep things simple, do they?"
"I can't have them stirring up any trouble."
"So, you'll just have to suffer a little for now." As he spoke, Qian Xunji suddenly transformed into a high-speed motor, full of vigor.
Father?
Second brother?
Tang Yuehua regained a sliver of clarity.
But soon, that fleeting lucidity was submerged by wave after wave of surging tides.
She had never felt such happiness as she did now.
Yes, that was it—happiness.
An indescribable, inexplicable kind of happiness.
Tang Wei carried Tang Hao into Martial Soul City without much trouble, followed by Tang Feng, Tang Weiwei, and the five elders.
Within Martial Soul City, the Martial Soul Hall, the Worship Hall, and the Pope Palace were all highly conspicuous.
Tang Wei only needed a moment to identify the general location of the Worship Hall.
He carried Tang Hao toward the Worship Hall, determined to see Qian Daoliu today and demand an explanation.
However, the moment Tang Wei entered Martial Soul City, Leng Lingyuan became aware of his presence.
Qian Xunji had previously laid down a Fortification Array and a Soul-Sealing Array throughout the city. Although he had not shared the principles of the arrays, he had granted a portion of the control over the city's grand formations to Leng Lingyuan.
Leng Lingyuan had established a connection with both arrays; as long as she was in Martial Soul City, no movement could escape her perception.
Upon learning that Tang Wei had entered the city with his group and was heading toward the Worship Hall, she immediately led people to intercept them.
Looking at the suddenly descending Leng Lingyuan and the numerous Martial Soul Hall elders, Tang Wei asked with displeasure, "Lady Qian, what is the meaning of this? Can't you see my son is in critical condition?"
"I am going to see my elder, why do you block my path?"
Leng Lingyuan couldn't be bothered with pleasantries and directly ordered them to leave: "Sect Master Tang, my father-in-law does not wish to see you. You should leave."
"If you want to see my husband, wait until he is finished with your daughter."
"You, you, you, you—adulterers! Shameless adulterers!" Tang Wei glared at Leng Lingyuan. The mere thought of Tang Yuehua being defiled by Qian Xunji made his heart ache!
"Tang Wei, get out! Martial Soul City does not welcome you. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being impolite." Seeing Tang Wei insulting her and her husband, Leng Lingyuan no longer bothered to show him any courtesy.
Leave? Not a chance!
He hadn't seen Qian Daoliu yet!
He still needed Qian Daoliu to preside over justice for him!
Tang Wei was stubborn, retorting immediately: "Leng Lingyuan, I'd like to see how you plan to drive me away. Do you think that just because you have Qian Xunji's strength, you can act so arrogantly before me?"
Tang Wei refused to believe that if he couldn't handle Qian Xunji, he couldn't even beat a woman!
"Tang Wei, you will find out soon enough."
"I offered you kind advice, but since you won't listen, I will show you a taste of true power." Leng Lingyuan acted the moment she finished speaking.
Simultaneously, she activated a portion of the city's Soul-Sealing Array.
She naturally knew that her own strength was no match for Tang Wei, but with the addition of the Soul-Sealing Array, no number of Title Douluo could be her opponent, and she could easily force them out of Martial Soul City.
What is happening!
Why can't I use my martial soul or soul power!
Tang Wei and the five Clear Sky Elders were shaken to their cores. The city was far too bizarre—even more eerie than the Slaughter City.
In the Slaughter City, one could at least use martial souls, even if soul skills were restricted. But here in Martial Soul City, one couldn't even manifest a martial soul.
In contrast, Leng Lingyuan remained completely unaffected.
How is this even winnable?
Are we supposed to fight with our heads?
Tang Wei looked at Leng Lingyuan, who had unleashed her Avatar of the Martial Soul, and his face twisted with intense jealousy.
Is this the true foundation of a family of gods?
I am so unwilling to accept this!
If not for such a foundation, why would I have to suffer such humiliation!
I am so unwilling to accept this!
Although Tang Wei was deeply resentful inside, he knew how to bend and stretch; he would naturally bow his head when the time called for it, even if he would be furious afterward.
"Lady Qian, stop. I will leave on my own; there is no need for you to escort us."
"Hmph, realizing your regret now?"
"It's too late!"
Leng Lingyuan's giant bird claws grabbed the seven of them one by one and tossed them out of Martial Soul City.
After leaving Martial Soul City, the six men regained the use of their Martial Souls and were able to fly once more.
Although they were disheveled, they were not injured.
Tang Wei's expression was grim.
Tang Feng asked, "Sect Master, what should we do now?"
Tang Wei took a deep breath and revealed a top-secret matter, saying, "At this point, I have no choice but to take Hao to Sea God Island."
"My father has a deep connection with Bo Saixi, the High Priestess of Sea God Island. If Bo Saixi can persuade the Sea God to act, Hao will surely be cured."
"Tang Feng, I leave the Clear Sky Sect to you. Also, take good care of my grandson—Tang San."
"Yes, Sect Master. I will certainly live up to your trust, manage the sect well, and look after the young master."
"Very well, I am off." Tang Wei held Tang Hao and took to the air, heading toward Sea God Island.
In truth, Tang Wei did not have much confidence that Bo Saixi would be willing to help.
But for the sake of Tang Hao, he was willing to try, even if it meant kneeling and kowtowing to beg; as long as Tang Hao could be cured, he would do anything.
After the battle between Qian Xunji and Tang Yuehua ended, he left the Secret Chamber, intending to ask about the specific situation regarding Tang Wei and Tang Hao.
He found Leng Lingyuan.
Leng Lingyuan recounted everything, then asked, "Husband, you won't blame me for driving Tang Wei and the others away, will you?"
"Lingyuan, how could I blame you? Tang Wei actually dared to insult you; it is simply detestable. If I had been present, I would have broken his legs and made him kneel to apologize to you."
"Husband, you are so kind." Leng Lingyuan felt joy in her heart, thinking to herself that she was indeed the person her husband cared about most.
Qian Xunji cupped Leng Lingyuan's face and said, "Lingyuan, you have worked hard during this time. Today, let your husband reward you properly."
"Mm-hmm, Husband."
Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan walked hand in hand toward the throne reserved for the Pope.
The usually dignified and majestic Leng Lingyuan changed completely, transforming into a little woman with eyes full of longing to be doted upon by her husband.
Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Under Qian Xunji's frequent affection, Ah Yin and Tang Yuehua both became pregnant with his children.
The time between their conceptions was less than ten days.
Ah Yin conceived first, followed by Tang Yuehua.
Ten months later.
Ah Yin was the first to go into labor.
This was Qian Xunji's eighth child.
Pope Palace, Underground Palace.
Suite No. 3.
Xue Ying turned around while holding the baby, exclaiming excitedly, "Master, Madam, it is a young master, it is a young master."
