Celestial 'War God' Return

"What were you talking about with Xuanyuan Yueyao?" Song Tianzun asked Huangfu Meizhen, who was walking beside him.

"We were talking about your female cousin."

Song Tianzun couldn’t help but sigh; he felt that Shangguan Qingyue was too reckless to go to the Taixu Kingdom in the current situation. "What did she say to you?"

"Do you love her, Tianzun?"

"I only love you from the past and in the future."

Huangfu Meizhen smiled. "Huo Mianmian’s problem will have both positive and negative impacts."

"The Shangguan Clan will suffer the negative impact, and the Song Clan will also be affected."

"Yes," Huangfu Meizhen nodded. "If the Huo and Dugu Clans manage to find Huo Mianmian, the Song and Shangguan Clans will face serious problems. This problem stems from your mother’s decision to help Shangguan Qingyue in the past, so both clans must bear the consequences. The only way to avoid bigger problems is to hand over your female cousin to them, but I’m sure your mother won’t do that, and she will protect her."

Song Tianzun nodded in agreement. "My mother has always loved Shangguan Qingyue, so she will never hand her over to them. If they really find Huo Mianmian, and the matter behind her disappearance is revealed to the public, the Huo and Dugu Clans will attack the Shangguan Clan."

"The matter won’t stop there, Tianzun." Song Tianzun turned to Huangfu Meizhen. "You should remember that the Xuanyuan Emperor had a close relationship with the Dugu Clan; you should know what that means, right?"

Song Tianzun took a deep breath. "If this matter reaches Emperor Xuanyuan’s ears, he will definitely side with the Huo and Dugu Clans, and he will revoke his support for the Song and Shangguan Clans."

"That’s right." Huangfu Meizhen nodded. "If the Song and Shangguan Clans lose Emperor Xuanyuan’s support, the enemies hiding in the dark will no longer hold back, and they will start looking for trouble with the two clans."

The Song Clan had long been in decline, and his uncle had also conspired with the demons from the south to overthrow Song Zhentian. The Shangguan Clan was strong, but they were unable to face all the enemies lurking around.

Their best solution was to gain the support of Emperor Xuanyuan and the Xuanyuan Clan, but unfortunately, Shangguan Qingyue’s past actions towards Huo Mianmian skewed the situation.

Huangfu Meizhen hugged his arm. "The positive side is that you won’t marry Xuanyuan Yueyao; her uncle will summon her back to the Xuanyuan Clan, and he will also cancel your wedding plans."

Song Tianzun would be happy if he didn’t have to marry Xuanyuan Yueyao, but he wouldn’t be happy if both of his clans had to lose Emperor Xuanyuan’s support.

"Did that woman tell you anything about this matter?"

"Yes." Song Tianzun’s expression turned serious after Huangfu Meizhen nodded. "You are my fiancé, and we will be married in 17 days, so I won’t hide this matter from you. Huo Mianmian has already returned to the Huo Clan, and Dugu Jiuyou should be having a meeting with Emperor Xuanyuan right now."

"Does your grandfather know about this matter?"

Huangfu Meizhen did not hide the matter from him. "My grandfather has a good relationship with Dugu Jiuyou, Old Patriarch Huo, Situ Chengyan, and the others. They told him that Huo Mianmian had returned, but they didn’t explain too much detail about this matter, so he didn’t know the identity of her savior."

"I see." Song Tianzun released a heavy sigh as his two clans were bound to lose Emperor Xuanyuan’s support after Emperor Xuanyuan and Dugu Jiuyou’s meeting, but he couldn’t predict the Huo and Dugu Clans’ next move.

"Tianzun, my grandfather—"

"You don’t need to say anything, Meizhen," Song Tianzun interrupted her words. "Grandpa Huangfu always upholds righteousness, and the source of this trouble is my mother and Shangguan Qingyue, so I understand that he won’t help my Song and Shangguan Clans in this matter. If my mother didn’t help my cousin in the past, the situation wouldn’t have become this complicated."

Huangfu Meizhen knew Song Tianzun’s character very well; she believed he would not blame her grandfather in this matter, and his words were proof of that. "Even if Emperor Xuanyuan revokes his support for the Song and Shangguan Clans, it will not change the situation drastically. However, we must be prepared to face those people, and I believe that your uncle will make a move soon."

"I know." Song Tianzun’s gaze turned sharp. "Even though Song Tiankun is my uncle, I won’t spare him if he plots with the demons from the south to overthrow my father. In fact, I have assigned my personal people to monitor the movements of Liao Yexue and Song Chenglin, and they will capture those two people if my uncle dares to rebel."

Huangfu Meizhen nodded at him. "If that happens, I will stand by your side and help you deal with those rebels."

"Thank you, Meizhen."

"Are you going to tell your parents about Huo Mianmian’s return to the Huo Clan?"

"No," Song Tianzun shook his head. "I will not interfere in that matter; I will let my parents handle everything themselves. As for me, I will prepare myself to face the issues that will arise after Emperor Xuanyuan revokes his support, especially regarding those people."

"You won’t be able to handle this situation alone, so you should discuss these matters with Uncle Zhao Tiancheng and Aunt Song Yuzhen," Song Tianzun agreed with Huangfu Meizhen. "Besides, my grandfather won’t remain silent on this matter, and he will step in to assist you if a rebellion occurs."

"I’ll see my uncle and aunt first, Meizhen."

"You can meet them, and I will meet my grandfather to discuss our countermeasures."

"Alright."

A few hours later, Dugu Jiuyou and Dugu Jinghao walked out of the Xuanyuan Palace with expressions full of elation. Both of them were truly happy that Emperor Xuanyuan supported their intention to settle scores with the Shangguan Clan.

Dugu Jiuyou contacted Old Patriarch Huo and Situ Chengyan, informing them of Emperor Xuanyuan’s decision.

"Shall we go straight to the Song Kingdom, Father?" Dugu Jinghao asked his father.

"No." Dugu Jiuyou took out his flying artifact. "Although Emperor Xuanyuan has given us the green light to take action against the Shangguan Clan, we cannot act rashly against them. For now, we must return to our clan, and we will discuss this matter with Situ Chengyan and Old Huo first."

Dugu Jinghao nodded in agreement. "Let’s go back, Father."

"Let’s go!" After boarding the flying artifact, the two men immediately left Xuanyuan Palace for the Dugu Clan in the Taixu Kingdom.

At the Song Palace, Shangguan Qingyin and Song Zhentian were engaged in a serious discussion regarding the matter of Shangguan Qingyue and Huo Mianmian.

Shangguan Qingyin and Song Zhentian were still unaware that Huo Mianmian had returned to the Huo Clan, nor did they know that Emperor Xuanyuan had decided to withdraw his support for their clans.

Knock... Knock...

Song Zhentian raised an eyebrow. "Come in."

*Crack*

Shangguan Qingyin and Song Zhentian looked at Xuanyuan Yueyao in surprise. "Why did you come here, Yueyao?"

"Uncle Song and Aunt Shangguan, my uncle asked me to return to the Xuanyuan Clan, and he also decided to cancel my wedding plan with Song Tianzun."

Shangguan Qingyin and Song Zhentian froze, staring at Xuanyuan Yueyao in shock. They wanted to talk to her, but they suddenly received a voice transmission, and their expressions turned ugly after listening to the message.

The voice message came from Emperor Xuanyuan; he informed them about the cancellation of Song Tianzun and Xuanyuan Yueyao’s wedding plans.

What shocked Shangguan Qingyin and Song Zhentian most wasn’t that, but rather that he already knew about the matter between Shangguan Qingyue and Huo Mianmian.

Emperor Xuanyuan informed them that he would not interfere in the matter, but he decided to withdraw his support for the Song and Shangguan Clans, which dealt a major blow to them.

Seeing their expressions, Xuanyuan Yueyao’s lips curled upwards. "Since my uncle has already informed the two of you of his decision, I don’t need to say anything else. My wedding plans with Song Tianzun have been cancelled; I will return to my clan today. By the way, thank you for your hospitality during my stay in this palace, and I hope the situation will be fine for this kingdom."

After Xuanyuan Yueyao left, Song Zhentian slumped limply into his chair. "What should we do now, Wife? Emperor Xuanyuan is pressuring us to hand Shangguan Qingyue over to the Huo Clan, and he has threatened not to help us deal with the lurking enemies."

"I won’t hand over my niece to them, Husband." Shangguan Qingyin refused with a shake of her head. "If I hand her over to them, she will definitely die in their hands."

"But—"

"I will never compromise on my niece’s life." Shangguan Qingyin’s tone was firm. "Even if Emperor Xuanyuan doesn’t help us, I believe we can still handle our enemies. Our Song and Shangguan Clans are old clans, and our people are highly experienced, so I’m sure everything will be fine."

Song Zhentian let out a heavy sigh. "Has your niece arrived at the Taixu Kingdom? Since this matter has reached Emperor Xuanyuan’s ears, I’m sure people from the Huo and Dugu Clans are already preparing to capture her."

"Our people are already on standby at the border, and they will immediately capture my niece as soon as her flying artifact arrives." Shangguan Qingyin contacted their subordinates and told them to secure Shangguan Qingyue as soon as possible. "Husband, I’m still curious about the identity of the person who saved Huo Mianmian and brought her back to the Huo Clan."

"There’s no point dwelling on that person’s identity." Song Zhentian contacted his other subordinates. "For now, we must focus on the danger threatening us, and we must not make any mistakes in our actions."
