"Patriarch!" A middle-aged man shouted as soon as he saw the old man walking into their clan residence, and he immediately ran over to approach him.
"Hmm?" The old man raised his eyebrows at him. "Did something serious happen? Why are you in such a hurry, Jiang Wen?"
Jiang Wen did not directly answer his question and handed a broken jade to the old man, who was none other than Jiang Bai, the patriarch of the Jiang Clan, causing his face to darken after he saw it.
"How is this possible? Isn't this my son's life jade?" Jiang Bai asked with a trembling voice as he grabbed the jade, and Jiang Wen could only nod to him speechlessly. "Where did Jiang Sheng go? Did he tell you anything before leaving?"
"Yes, patriarch, young master Jiang took two of his subordinates to the outside world to snatch his daughter from Mu Qingge's hands, but he is actually dead now."
Jiang Bai's face darkened even more, and his forehead furrowed after hearing that. 'Could it be that Mu Lin killed my son? I know him very well, so I'm sure that he couldn't possibly kill my son just because of that, and he would probably just teach him a lesson.' "Do you know who else he went there with?"
"You don't need to ask him, Jiang Bai." Both men looked towards their clan's main hall, and they saw a man dressed all in black leaning there. "Your son went there together with Xie Ao, but he is also dead now."
"What?" They screamed in shock before Jiang Bai questioned the man. "How could he die, Xie An? Didn't he already break through to the peak-rank emperor realm some time ago? Mu Lin shouldn't be able to kill him."
"We don't know for sure about that, but my patriarch has sent someone to investigate this matter while Wang Fuxi is still in seclusion, so that person can move more freely there." Jiang Bai nodded in understanding, as he had also heard about her, but Xie An then told him again. "Anyway, Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan should be there now, so we suspect that they helped Mu Lin to kill Xie Ao, and your son probably also died in their hands."
"Tang Huang and Tantai Lingyan?" Jiang Bai was surprised to hear the two names. "Since when did they leave their seclusion?"
"Three days ago, and they went straight there." Xie An then conveyed the message from his patriarch to Jiang Bai. "My patriarch had expected that you wanted to take revenge against the Mu Clan after hearing about this matter, but he forbade you from looking for trouble with that clan for now, especially since Sun Qian always kept an eye on that clan in Mu Lin's stead. Furthermore, he has already instructed the individual to take action against the old man, and you must patiently await his successful completion of his tasks to avoid any disruptions in our plans."
After he said that, Xie An disappeared from their sight, and Jiang Bai clenched his fists tightly. "Tang Huang! Tantai Lingyan! Mu Lin! Just you wait; after we get rid of Sun Qian, we will get rid of you three too!"
"So what should we do now, patriarch?"
"Nothing." Jiang Bai replied as he walked away. "For now, our only option is to await that man's next orders. If we disobey, he will not only punish us but also destroy our clan."

Meanwhile, Tang Xiao's body became completely red as his breakthrough entered the next phase, but Mu Qingge was surprised because he didn't show any expression of pain, especially since that phase would be extremely painful for a cultivator. 'I see, Xiao Ai must have done something to his body, or else he wouldn't be this calm.'
"Is he close to completing his breakthrough, Aunt Qingge?"
"Not yet." Mu Qingge responded by shaking his head. "He still has to go through one more phase after this, and the second phase is quite complicated because he has to form his cultivation core, which will cause him serious injury if he fails to do so. However, he has Xiao Ai by his side, and she must have given him some instructions, so I think he should be able to do it."
"I see." Even so, Xing Xing still couldn't calm down seeing Tang Xiao like that, but she didn't ask anything else and waited for him to finish.
After waiting for a while, Tang Xiao's body gradually returned to its normal state, causing the two women to exhale with relief. However, a red and white aura suddenly enveloped his body, and two blurry silhouettes emerged behind him.
One silhouette was of Tang Xiao, who was wearing red armor with various kinds of weapons behind his back; the silhouette came from his war god physique. As for his other silhouette, he was sitting in a white cloud, which came from his celestial physique.
'Where did these two silhouettes come from?' Mu Qingge inwardly muttered as she stared at them in awe, and Xing Xing also looked at the two with wide eyes, but she still refrained from asking, as she didn't want Tang Xiao to fail.
Moreover, the two silhouettes emitted auras that contradicted each other. The war god Tang Xiao emitted an aura filled with extreme bloodlust and intense killing intent, while the celestial Tang Xiao emitted an aura filled with both sacredness and extraordinary calmness.
'What exactly are these two? Are they powers hidden within him?' Mu Qingge then observed Tang Xiao, who looked very focused. 'It seems he still hasn't realized his own powers, and they appear unconsciously.'
However, the appearance of the third Tang Xiao surprised Mu Qingge and Xing Xing, especially since she looked similar to the current him, but she looked much more mature.
'Oh? I didn't expect that he was accompanied by two women.' Old Tang Xiao spoke casually, but his expression was clearly one of surprise. Then he turned to the two silhouettes. 'War God, Huh? So is this what I'm lacking back then?'
Both women were stunned to hear Old Tang Xiao speak, and Xing Xing questioned him. "Who are you? Why do you look so much like my husband?'
'Damn! I've never married before, but he's married now!' Old Tang Xiao shouted, startling them, and he looked at both women with a smile. 'Anyway, I am him, and he is me.'
After hearing that, Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows, particularly considering that Tang Xiao was on the verge of breaking through to the Xiantian level, and he should not have yet developed his cultivation soul. This piqued her curiosity about Old Tang Xiao. "Can you tell me who you really are?"
'Unfortunately, I can't tell you two anything, or the consequences would be dire.' Old Tang Xiao replied with a shake of his head.
Mu Qingge could only give up; it was obvious that Old Tang Xiao wouldn't say anything to them, as Xing Xing told him. "Anyway, I am his second wife, and Aunt Qingge is his future third wife."
'Second wife?' Old Tang Xiao looked at Xing Xing with a look of surprise. 'Who was his first wife?'
"Big Sis Yin."
"Tang Yin."
Old Tang Xiao was shocked to hear their answer, but he then smiled full of joy as he mumbled. 'That's good; he has managed to help Big Sis Yin, and they are even married now.'
Mu Qingge was getting more and more clueless about him, and she wanted to ask him something else, but Tang Xiao's three suddenly began to fade.
'My time is up; maybe we'll meet again some other time.' Old Tang Xiao said it with a smile, then sternly reminded them. 'Don't say anything about me to him, or this universe will be destroyed, got it?'
Even though they didn't understand what Old Tang Xiao meant by that, both women still nodded in agreement with him, but his existence left many questions in their minds, especially for Mu Qingge, who was much more experienced than Xing Xing.
Soon the three of them had disappeared, and Tang Xiao's breakthrough immediately entered the next stage, but Mu Qingge was shocked by the appearance of six colored qi around him. Red represents the fire element, green represents the wind element, purple represents the lightning element, pure white represents the light element, silvery white represents the metal element, and silver represents the void element.
Tang Xiao's body quickly experienced an increase in qi turbulence, prompting Mu Qingge to immediately surround the room with her qi to protect others from the impact of his breakthrough.
'This is impossible! How can he have six elements in one body?' Mu Qingge screamed with shock in her heart, especially since a cultivator with two elements was very rare, but Tang Xiao actually had six elements, and he had previously confessed to her that he only had the lightning element. "Hey Xing'er, does he really have six elements?"
"Yes." Xing Xing nodded to Mu Qingge. "Xiao Ai told me that he has fire, wind, lightning, light, metal, and void elements."
Mu Qingge became even more shocked after hearing Tang Xiao's six elements, especially since metal was a rare element, but he still had an element that was much rarer than that, and she was sure that not a single cultivator on Earth II had ever awakened the void element before. 'Unbelievable! I never dreamed I would meet a cultivator as terrifying as him! I'm sure that he will definitely become a powerful cultivator in the future, and he may be able to surpass Long Yin and Wang Fuxi. However, he is still too weak right now, so he has to act very carefully, or else they will hunt down and kill him before he develops, and we won't be able to protect him from them.'
Soon, the six qi turned into six balls, but the next made Mu Qingge even more shocked, especially since they merged into one and formed a colorful qi core.
'He's too absurd! How is it possible for the six cores to merge into one? This is the first time I've seen a colorful qi core!' However, Mu Qingge suddenly noticed something unusual about Tang Xiao's qi core, and she used her senses to check it. 'How could this happen? How could there be another qi core in the main qi core? Moreover, it's blood red, but it also strengthens his main core, and his main core looks so pure.'
After some time, Tang Xiao's qi core entered his body through his mouth, which indicated that he had successfully broken through to the low-rank Xiantian level. Soon, he exhaled a breath of relief and opened his eyes, only to be instantly stunned by the sight of Mu Qingge before him. Her beauty dazzled him, prompting him to pull her into his lap and kiss her.
Tang Xiao's actions brought the dazed Mu Qingge back to her senses, but she became awkward about their situation, especially since his dick was right under her. Even so, she didn't reject his kiss and returned it instead, as they had kissed before.
Xing Xing pouted her lips after seeing that, but she had no intention of stopping them. Although he felt jealous of Mu Qingge's beauty, he also hoped that she would become Tang Xiao's third wife soon.
Tang Xiao's sudden attempt to pin Mu Qingge down startled her, prompting her to stop him. "Please stop it; I'm not ready for this."
When he heard that, Tang Xiao stared at Mu Qingge for a moment before inwardly sighing, and he immediately shifted from above her. "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself in front of your beauty."
"It's okay." Mu Qingge shook her head in response. "Since you have successfully broken through, I will return to the ark again, and you can continue your honeymoon with Xing'er."
