Chapter 508: Contact Mo Bing

"Where did the two of you go earlier?" Xuanyuan Yueyao suddenly sensed a familiar aura and looked at Situ Lingxi’s right hand. "Oh? The Emerald Scale Python, huh?"

Situ Lingxi raised her right hand and showed off the small python. "Her name is Cui Jing, and my husband gave her to me as our wedding gift."

"Indeed, one of the overlord beasts is the best gift." Xuanyuan Yueyao looked at Tang Xiao. "By the way, Zhan Ningxi was afraid that Ning Zhiya would harm her daughter, and she asked Sun Qingyao to join the Zhan Clan."

Tang Xiao shook his head. "My matter with the Sun Clan is over, so I don’t care about their affairs. However, I can say that Ning Zhiya isn’t that kind of person, and Zhan Ningxi is being too paranoid about the situation."

"Zhan Ningxi is indeed that kind of woman." Xuanyuan Yueyao told them more news. "The Song and Shangguan Clans decided to send their members to the Misty Ridge, and Huangfu Meizhen will join them."

Tang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "I have heard about those two clans; Song Tianzun and Shangguan Qingyue will be leading them. I haven’t heard about Huangfu Meizhen’s decision yet, but I am certain it is because of her husband."

"Yes." Xuanyuan Yueyao nodded. "Their group contains people from the Song, Shangguan, and Zhan Clans, plus people from the Nine Profound Sect."

"Just let them be; we don’t need to worry about them, and we’ll focus on our group." Tang Xiao looked at Taixu Wuxian, Xuanyuan Wenxuan, Zhu Xuan’er, Situ Shuying, and Huo Mianmian, who were walking towards them. "Are you guys ready?"

Taixu Wuxian took Huo Mianmian’s hand. "Mianmian and I have prepared everything before we leave for this kingdom."

"Xuan’er and I are ready." Xuanyuan Wenxuan pointed his finger to the sky. "Look at the sky; the sign has appeared, and the portal will open in the next two days."

Tang Xiao just noticed the sign. "How many portals will appear?"

"We never counted the number of portals, and they will appear across all four islands." Tang Xiao turned to Xuanyuan Yueyao. "We will meet people from the Dongfang and Xiang Empires at the Misty Ridge, but I have no information regarding the people from those two empires."

Tang Xiao recalled Duanmu Jingjing telling him that the elf race from the Dongfang Kingdom would also enter the Misty Realm, so he should have expected that the portals would appear on all the islands. Moreover, she had issues with members of her race, so he had to be prepared in case his group encountered them there.

"What are you thinking, husband?"

Tang Xiao did not answer Situ Lingxi; instead, he asked the others. "Do you guys know about the strength of the elven race?"

Taixu Wuxian and the others exchanged glances.

"Why are you asking about that race?"

Tang Xiao didn’t want to reveal Duanmu Jingjing’s true identity to them without her permission. "I want to know their strengths and abilities, and I will prepare countermeasures in case we run into them there."

"The elven race hasn’t set foot in that place for the past few years, so I’m not sure if they’ll go there this year." Zhu Xuan’er said.

Xuanyuan Yueyao glanced at Tang Xiao; she naturally knew the reason behind his worry about the elf race, which was because of Duanmu Jingjing. "The elven race’s strength is not much different from the human race, but they have some abilities that we don’t have. They are skilled hunters, and their speed is really fast. Usually, they will avoid us, and they will not attack us for no apparent reason."

"I see." Tang Xiao nodded in understanding. "If that’s the case, I don’t need to worry about them. However, I’ll still make some preparations just in case they go to that place and look for trouble with us."

"It’s okay, you can do it." Xuanyuan Yueyao paused. "Our biggest problem is the demon race, whether those living in this realm or those in that place."

Tang Xiao was aware of this and would never underestimate the demon race, particularly those residing within the Misty Ridge. Mo Bing’s figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he immediately contacted her to ask about the demon race from the south.

To Tang Xiao’s surprise, Mo Bing answered his message and told him the demon race would enter the Misty Ridge. Moreover, the five demon generals would lead a large group of demons, but she didn’t tell him about their purpose.

Tang Xiao furrowed his brows and looked at the others. "The demon race from the south will enter there, and the five demon generals will lead a large group of demons."

"Where did you get that information?" Xuanyuan Wenxuan asked with a frown.

"Old Huangfu." Tang Xiao chose to use Huangfu Lingxuan as a scapegoat, as he couldn’t possibly tell them about Mo Bing.

Xuanyuan Yueyao spoke immediately. "My uncle just told me that the demon race will enter that place, but he doesn’t know their purpose for going there. Since the five demon generals will be leading them, we must be careful and avoid them as best we can."

Upon hearing that, Situ Lingxi and Taixu Wuxian contacted Taixu Wudie, Situ Lingshan, and Situ Chengyan. After all, members of both clans would also be entering the Misty Ridge, so the three of them could warn them about the demon race.

Huo Mianmian and Zhu Xuan’er also contacted their respective families, asking them to inform the members who would enter the Misty Ridge.

Since Xuanyuan Yueyao said Emperor Xuanyuan already knew about the demons, Xuanyuan Wenxuan didn’t bother contacting his clan members, but he contacted his master to inform him about them.

Xuanyuan Yueyao already knew Tang Xiao was acquainted with Mo Bing, and she surmised he got the news from her. She immediately contacted her uncle, so Xuanyuan Lingtian could inform the members of the Xuanyuan and Jiang Clans.

"It seems this year’s exploration of the Misty Ridge will be dangerous." Xuanyuan Yueyao looked at Tang Xiao and asked. "Are you sure you want to take your other wives to that place?"

"Danger is a part of a cultivator’s life, isn’t it?" Tang Xiao looked in another direction. "If they continue to live under protection, they will never become strong, and they won’t be able to face the enemies that will stand in their way in the future. Moreover, they have been training for quite some time, so it’s time to test their abilities."

"Hahaha," Xuanyuan Yueyao laughed. "Usually, a husband wants to keep his wife away from danger, but you actually want to send your wives right into it."

Tang Xiao smiled. "My wives aren’t as weak as you think, and I have confidence in their abilities. Moreover, I’m with them, and I’m confident in my ability to protect them. If those demons dare attack them, I’ll slaughter them immediately."

"I will help you protect them, Husband." Situ Lingxi stroked the python in her right hand. "Moreover, we have Jing’er, and she will help us face those demons."

Taixu Wuxian, Xuanyuan Wenxuan, and Zhu Xuan’er immediately shifted their gazes to Situ Lingxi’s right hand. They hadn’t noticed the python before, and they could sense that Cui Jing was stronger than them.

Zhu Xuan’er bent forward and looked at the small beast. "Where did you find this little snake, Lingxi?"

Cu Jing glared at Zhu Xuan’er, as if she wanted to devour her. She was annoyed because she called her a little snake, but she didn’t do anything and ignored her.

"Hehe," Situ Lingxi giggled. "Jing’er is the Emerald Scale Python, so you should know where I got her, right?"

"Huh?" Zhu Xuan’er looked at Situ Lingxi and Cui Jing alternately. A moment later, she screamed loudly. "Holy moly! She... she is one of the three overlords in that forest? How... how can you make a contract with her?"

Situ Lingxi pointed at Tang Xiao. "Back then, two people from the Shen Clan were hunting Jing’er, and they used a deadly poison to poison her. Fortunately, we witnessed the incident, and my husband saved her by detoxifying the poison in her body. Since I was his wife, she was willing to make a contract with me."

Since Cui Jing was a powerful beast, Zhu Xuan’er couldn’t help but feel jealous of Situ Lingxi. She entered the forest several times in the past, but she didn’t dare approach her nest, so the thought of forming a contract with her had never even crossed her mind.

Taixu Wuxian and Xuanyuan Wenxuan looked at Tang Xiao with strange gazes. They weren’t jealous of Situ Ling, but they were curious about his method for removing the Shen Clan’s poison from Cui Jing’s body.

They knew that the two elders of the Shen Clan were poison users and that their poison was extremely deadly. Their poison had claimed many victims, and not every cultivator could neutralize it, but Tang Xiao could.

Xuanyuan Yueyao looked at Tang Xiao with a curious gaze. She felt he was shrouded in mystery, which made her even more curious about him.

Tang Xiao smiled mysteriously. "Do you two believe in my abilities now? As long as you don’t die on the spot, I will definitely save your lives, so you don’t need to worry about the situation at Misty Ridge."

"Haish." Taixu Wuxian patted his shoulder. "Brother-in-law, I’m actually very curious about you, but you still treat me as an outsider, and you’re unwilling to share your secrets with me."

"I don’t think of you as an outsider," Tang Xiao denied with a shake of his head. "When the time is right, I’ll tell you some of my secrets."

Taixu Wuxian nodded. "I will wait patiently."
