Before Tang Xiao’s clone could answer Ning Zhiya, Sun Weitian’s body suddenly shook uncontrollably, and his complexion quickly turned black.
Tang Xiao swiftly moved and pulled Ning Zhiya back. "Your son has been infected with a deadly poison.
"No... Son... No..." Ning Zhiya panicked upon seeing that; she grabbed Tang Xiao’s arm. "Please... Please save my son!"
"Too late." Tang Xiao hugged her and pointed at Sun Weitian. "The poison has spread to all his internal organs, Zhiya."
Ning Zhiya pushed him backwards with all her might, but she stopped when she saw Sun Wentian’s body had stopped convulsing. Soon, she saw a small black and red spider come out of her son’s mouth, and it immediately ran away.
Ning Zhiya was furious to see the small black and red spider running away after killing her son; she immediately chased it and killed it. She turned to look at Sun Weitian, who was still wrapped in spiderwebs.
Tang Xiao himself didn’t expect the female spider beast to leave a deadly poisonous spider in Sun Weitian’s body, but he was grateful to her because he didn’t need to do anything else to break Ning Zhiya.
*Plop*
Ning Zhiya collapsed to the ground; her tear-filled eyes trembled as they fixed upon her son’s corpse. Her body shook violently, and she reached out her hands.
Tang Xiao moved beside Ning Zhiya, crouched beside her, and hugged her. "Don’t touch his body! The poison is too deadly; you might get poisoned if you touch him."
"Sob... sob..." Tears streamed down from Ning Zhiya’s eyes. "Sob... Son... Weitian... Why did it have to end like this? You were my only son, yet you suddenly left me. Tang Xiao... please... I—"
"Your son is dead." Ning Zhiya fell limp in Tang Xiao’s arms and cried loudly. "Please forgive me; there was nothing I could do to save your son."
Ning Zhiya hugged Tang Xiao and cried even harder. Her cries were heartbreaking, and her body trembled uncontrollably. "Sob... Sob... My son... He’s dead..."
[Master, Shangguan Qingyue didn’t make it to the Taixu Kingdom, and an old man brought her back to the Song Kingdom.]
Tang Xiao raised his eyebrows after Xiao Ai said that. He had devised a plan to have Shangguan Qingyue fall into the hands of the Dugu and Huo Clans, but it had ended in failure. He could guess that something had happened without his knowledge, which was related to Xuanyuan Lingtian. ’Have you tracked the woman’s position? Since she managed to escape from my trap, I will take action against her myself.’
[Shangguan Qingyue’s flying artifact has almost entered the borders of the Song Kingdom, and she will arrive there in a few hours. What will you do about her, Master?]
’There are still artificial dolls left, right?’
[There is still one artificial doll in the treasury, Master. Do you want to use it for Shangguan Qingyue? However, she is a cultivator, and her cultivation is quite high, so I can’t implant my sub-chip into her brain.]
’Prepare the artificial doll, Xiao Ai.’ Tang Xiao immediately decided. ’Even if you can’t implant your sub-chip into her brain, we can leave her cultivation sealed, and she won’t be able to do anything.’
[So, who are you going to bring to kidnap Shangguan Qingyue? The old man has high cultivation, and you won’t be able to face him alone.]
’I’ll go see Huangfu Lingxuan first, and I’ll ask for his help to stop that old man.’ Tang Xiao looked at Ning Zhiya, who was still crying in his arms. "Let’s go back to our camp first, and I’ll take your son’s corpse there."
Ning Zhiya didn’t say anything and allowed Tang Xiao to lift her to her feet; she looked at Sun Weitian’s corpse with eyes full of tears and feelings of devastation.
Tang Xiao lifted Sun Weitian’s corpse using his aura and took it back to their camp. After they arrived there, he sat Ning Zhiya near the campfire and placed his corpse on the side.
Ning Zhiya, who was still crying, hugged her legs and continued to stare at her son’s corpse. "Sob... Weitian... Sob... Why did you leave me like this?"
Tang Xiao crouched beside Sun Weitian’s corpse and examined it, but he didn’t dare touch it. Xiao Ai had already warned him that the spider’s poison was too potent, and some residue remained within his corpse. ’I wonder what the Sun Clan will do after this.’

Inside a room at the inn, Tang Xiao’s real body had just finished dual cultivation with Tang Yin, Xing Xing, and Sun Xiang. He hadn’t yet taken the last woman’s virginity, and they were dual cultivating using unconventional methods.
Tang Xiao got dressed while talking to them. "You guys should wait here, and I will go see Huangfu Lingxuan."
"What are you going to do, Xiao’er?" Tang Yin asked him.
"My previous plan regarding Shangguan Qingyue failed because the people from the Taixu Kingdom didn’t capture her, so I will go and capture her myself." Tang Yin, Xing Xing, and Sun Xiang exchanged glances for a moment; they immediately realized Tang Xiao’s plans for that woman. "I’m leaving now, and I’ll be back here as soon as possible."
After Tang Xiao disappeared into the void, Sun Xiang said to the other two women. "It seems that the number of women by his side will increase by one after this."
"Yes," Tang Yin nodded in agreement. "Shangguan Qingyue is too arrogant, and she doesn’t know our husband’s character. Since she harbors malicious intentions toward us and Sister Qingge, he will never let her off."
Xing Xing spoke. "What will our husband do to that woman, Big Sis? After all, she’s a powerful cultivator, so he can’t possibly control her using Xiao Ai’s sub-chip like Yu Xiaoling and the others."
"Hehehe," Tang Yin giggled. "Even though our husband can’t use Xiao Ai’s sub-chip to control her, he can seal her cultivation, right? As long as her cultivation is sealed, she won’t be able to do anything to us, and she will live as a prisoner for the rest of her life."
Sun Xiang and Xing Xing agreed with Tang Yin, and the three women decided to rest afterwards.

Huangfu Lingxuan, who was relaxing in the garden of his residence, raised an eyebrow. Just as he was confused by the changes around him, Tang Xiao appeared before him, which surprised him quite a bit. "Oh? Have all your missions been completed? What brings you here tonight?"
"We only have one mission left." Tang Xiao walked in front of him. "Old man, I need your help to capture Shangguan Qingyue."
"Hmm?" Huangfu Lingxuan asked him. "How did you know that Shangguan Qingyue didn’t go to the Taixu Kingdom?"
"I have my own way of tracking Shangguan Qingyue’s movements." Huangfu Lingxuan was curious about that, but Tang Xiao had no intention of telling him the details. "Did Xuanyuan Lingtian order all the clans in the Taixu Kingdom not to make a move against her?"
"Yes." Huangfu Lingxuan nodded. "Emperor Xuanyuan has already withdrawn his support for the Song and Shangguan Clans, but he will not allow war to break out between those two clans and the Huo Clan. Therefore, he forbade all the clans in the Taixu Kingdom from making a move against that little girl."
"I see." Tang Xiao nodded in understanding. "But Emperor Xuanyuan won’t mind if I make a move on Shangguan Qingyue, right?"
"Haha," Huangfu Lingxuan laughed. "Honestly, Emperor Xuanyuan wants you to take action against that little girl, Young Man. If you capture her within the Song Kingdom’s territory, Shangguan Qingyin cannot blame the Dugu Clan."
Tang Xiao nodded. "Unfortunately, a powerful old man is accompanying Shangguan Qingyue, and my strength is insufficient to deal with him. Thus, I came here to see you, and I hope you are willing to help me with this matter."
"I can help you with this matter, but you have to do something for me in return." Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow after Huangfu Lingxuan said that. "You don’t need to worry; I won’t ask anything excessive from you."
"Tell me."
Huangfu Lingxuan smiled meaningfully. "Emperor Xuanyuan’s niece, Xuanyuan Yueyao, joined my sect."
"Do you want to have a romantic relationship with her?"
"I’m not asking you to have a romantic relationship with her right away, but I want you to build a relationship with her from the beginning." Huangfu Lingxuan took out a device and displayed a picture of Xuanyuan Yueyao. "She’s completely different from Shangguan Qingyue; she’s a woman of integrity, and she won’t accept you as her man so easily. She is the most talented young generation of the Xuanyuan Clan, and Emperor Xuanyuan has high hopes for her."
"Did Xuanyuan Lingtian ask you to discuss this matter with me?"
"Hahaha, Huangfu Lingxuan laughed. "For your information, Xuanyuan Yueyao has golden aptitude like you, but Emperor Xuanyuan kept it a secret from the public, and he said that her aptitude was only purple. He loves his niece very much, and he hopes that she will get the best husband. Coincidentally, you also have golden aptitude, so he wants to match you with her. He will not force the two of you to have a direct romantic relationship, and you two can decide for yourselves."
Tang Xiao took a deep breath. "Alright, I agree to that, and I’ll go see Xuanyuan Yueyao once I return to the sect. By the way, Sun Weitian is dead, and Ci Xing is his killer."
"Oh?" Huangfu Lingxuan was a little surprised to hear that. "Did anyone from the Sun Clan witness his death?"
"Ning Zhiya was with my clone in the forest, and she witnessed her son’s death with her own eyes." Huangfu Lingxuan stared at Tang Xiao, feeling that he was being too cunning. "Old man, Shangguan Qingyue is almost within the borders of this kingdom, so we should move now."
"Let’s move now."
