The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Ye Guyi stopped and glanced at Xu Zihuang beside her. Tall and slender, she was about the same height as Xu Zihuang, and their gazes were essentially level.

The tenderness and smile in her golden eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and oppressive gaze. She moved her red lips with a mocking tone.

"You're quite popular with women, aren't you? How far have things progressed with them? Have you slept with them—"

"No!" Before Ye Guyi could finish her sentence, Xu Zihuang quickly denied it. He hadn't expected Ye Guyi's question to be so direct and sharp.

This was the first time in all these years that he, who had always been calm and composed, had such a strong reaction when interacting with others.

But there was nothing he could do about it; Ye Guyi held a very special place in his heart.

Seeing Xu Zihuang's vehement denial, Ye Guyi's expression softened slightly. She could understand why Xu Zihuang wanted to use Ning Tian and Ju Zi and make such a sacrifice.

She had seen Xu Zihuang's intimate behavior with Ning Tian through his memories, but she didn't say anything at the time.

However, she could clearly sense that Xu Zihuang's attitude towards Ning Tian and Ju Zi was gradually changing. This made her feel a little uncomfortable. So, she subconsciously nudged Xu Zihuang.

Perhaps this is just a woman's nature. Even the most obtuse person has their own little tricks when it comes to emotions.

"That's good."

The coldness in Ye Guyi's eyes gradually softened, and a captivating smile returned to her beautiful face as she reached out her right hand to gently stroke Xu Zihuang's cheek.

“Zihuang, I’m really happy that you were able to tell me all this.”

Then she changed the subject again.

"But I want to know how you view them. Ning Tian has been by your side since you were eleven years old. And that Senior Orange took care of you for so long when you were seriously injured. One was with you day and night, and the other shared hardships with you. Zi Huang, have you ever been moved by them? Or rather, have they ever entered your heart?"

Ye Guyi's tone was calm, but every word was piercing.

Xu Zihuang met Ye Guyi's gaze, and Ye Guyi's smile remained unchanged, seemingly eagerly awaiting Xu Zihuang's answer.

"I'm sorry, Sister Lingyi, I didn't mean to lie to you." After a moment of contemplation, Xu Zihuang sighed sadly.

“I cannot completely deny these things.”

Even though Ye Guyi already had the answer in her heart, hearing Xu Zihuang's answer still made her feel a tightness in her chest. As she asked these questions, she was also questioning herself internally.

Why wasn't she by Xu Zihuang's side day and night? Why didn't she face the attack of that deep-sea demon whale with Xu Zihuang? If she were there, Xu Zihuang wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.

After calming herself down, Ye Guyi placed her hands on Xu Zihuang's shoulders, stood on tiptoe, and touched Xu Zihuang's forehead with her own, their eyes meeting.

“Zihuang, I don’t blame you. But I want you to know that I’ll be by your side from now on, sharing the burden with you.”

"Mmm." Xu Zihuang responded apologetically, but a pair of moist, sweet cherry lips were already in front of him.

A moment later, after exchanging breaths, the two continued walking towards the castle in the center of the manor.

Ye Guyi's pretty face flushed red as she leaned on Xu Zihuang's shoulder and whispered softly.

"Zihuang, after this trip, let's go to Dragon City first. I want to see what the city where Aunt Qing grew up is like."

“Okay.” Xu Zihuang nodded without hesitation. Going to Dragon City was already part of his plan. With his current cultivation level, plus the special features of his ultimate martial soul, he should be able to enter the special well inside the Earth Dragon Gate safely.

It's time to take those millennia-old mystic ice marrow.

He also needs to visit the Heavenly Dragon Gate, the sect his mother came from. Although he received his education from the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire from a young age, it is undeniable that half of his bloodline comes from the Heavenly Dragon Gate of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The Heavenly Dragon Gate held a special place in his heart. He was able to enter Shrek Academy thanks to the Heavenly Dragon Gate.

Furthermore, he could appropriately showcase the power of his second martial soul, the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon's Ultimate Thunder. The Heavenly Dragon Sect might still have a chance to manipulate things.

Lost in thought, Xu Zihuang was completely unaware of the shyness and determination deep in Ye Guyi's eyes.

When Xu Zihuang came to his senses, a seven-story ancient castle was already in front of him.

A total of twenty-eight figures stood neatly on both sides of the main road in front of the castle.

With Wang Xiao absent, Lin Long took over as leader, standing on the right. Lin Long had already broken through to the Soul Saint realm years ago, and later fused with the right leg bone soul bone dropped by the 20,000-year-old Demonic Tiger Whale. His martial soul, the Black Scale Dragon Shark, was already quite powerful, and with the enhancement of his foundation from the 20,000-year-old Demonic Tiger Whale's right leg bone, his soul power had recently broken through to level 79.

Although his chances of breaking through to the Title Douluo realm at his age are slim, becoming a Soul Douluo is a certainty.

Meng Cang, whose cultivation was second only to Lin Long and who was also a Soul Saint, stood at the head of the left. All those present were familiar faces: the original members of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Team, and the newly joined Nana.

"Young Master!" Led by Linlong and Mengcang, everyone respectfully knelt on one knee to pay their respects, their eyes filled with excitement.

Xu Zihuang smiled and nodded, indicating that everyone didn't need to be so polite. He then looked at Lin Long and said, "Elder Lin, Elder Wang will be leaving temporarily. Tell me about everyone's recent situation."

"Nana, come here too." Xu Zihuang then added.

"Yes!"

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi walked past the crowd toward the main hall on the first floor of the castle.

Linlong and Nana quickly followed. Although more than half a year had passed, Nana's appearance and figure hadn't changed much. Her wheat-colored skin was clearly healthy, and her tall figure, no less impressive than Ye Guyi's, possessed a wild beauty. The most noticeable change was in her aura, which had become much more concentrated, indicating that her soul power cultivation was not far from breaking through to level sixty.

The main hall on the first floor of the castle is about 100 square meters in size, spacious and luxurious.

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi sat on the sofa in the center of the hall, listening attentively to Linlong's report. Nana stood obediently to the side.

Xu Zihuang learned from Linlong that nothing major had happened in the past five years, and everyone had been cultivating step by step, with their cultivation levels improving.

The best news is that Wang Xiao has successfully advanced to become a level nine Soul Master and has successfully created several level nine Soul Tools.

Chapter 325 Fusion Soul Skills and One Month

After finishing his report, Linlong was about to take his leave when Xu Zihuang stopped him.

"Wait a moment, Elder Lin."

As he spoke, Xu Zihuang took the two eyes of the 50,000-year-old giant demon whale out of his storage soul tool.

A crystal-clear, cool light, like that of jade, shone in the hall.

Linlong's eyes narrowed, and he asked in surprise, "Young Master, could this be the eye of a ten-thousand-year-old demonic whale-type soul beast?"

"Yes. It came from a giant demonic whale with 50,000 years of cultivation. I happened to encounter it during my sea training before heading to Moon Pivot Island, and I killed it." Xu Zihuang nodded calmly.

"Elder Lin, take him away. The eyes of that 50,000-year-old giant demon whale should be able to be used to make quite a few high-level defensive soul tools."

"Yes, young master, young lady. This subordinate takes his leave." Linlong quickly put it into his storage soul tool, respectfully bowed to Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi, and then turned to leave.

His long-dormant heart became increasingly burning.

Xu Zihuang broke through to the Soul Emperor level at the young age of sixteen, possessed such a terrifying Soul Ring ratio, and his combat power was astonishing.

Their young master's talent is truly extraordinary. Perhaps, in the near future, they will be able to return to their homeland with Xu Zihuang in a dignified manner.

Now that only the three of them remained in the hall, Ye Guyi no longer needed to maintain a dignified and serious demeanor. She leaned almost entirely against Xu Zihuang, her chest wrapped around his shoulder, creating a subtle curve.

She waved to Nana with a smile.

"Come sit down too, Nana."

"Yes, Mistress." Nana obediently followed Ye Guyi's instructions and sat upright on the opposite sofa, knees together. However, she couldn't help but glance at Xu Zihuang out of the corner of her eye.

She was also shocked when she learned Xu Zihuang's true identity. The prodigy from Shrek Academy was actually the only son of their Sun Moon Empire's King Zihuang.

Moreover, their experiences and fates were remarkably similar; both suffered the loss of their families and lives due to the Holy Spirit Church.

Xu Zihuang looked up at Nana and said calmly.

"Nana. Since you voluntarily joined the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group, you should be well aware of my goals. In the future, I will need to confront the entire Holy Spirit Cult, and even the entire Sun Moon Empire under Xu Tianran's leadership. Are you sure you are ready?"

Nana looked up at Xu Zihuang, then suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with determination.

“Master. From the moment you and the mistress rescued my parents’ souls, I made up my mind to serve you willingly as your slave. Moreover, my parents were killed by the Holy Spirit Cult, and I hate the Holy Spirit Cult and this corrupt country. I am willing to follow you to achieve this goal, even at the cost of my life.”

Xu Zihuang and Nana looked at each other for a long time, then suddenly revealed a gentle smile.

"From today onwards, you are one of us. Go, and do your best to improve your strength in the next few years. Soon, the situation on the mainland will become turbulent."

"Yes! Master!"

Watching Nana's figure disappear from sight, Ye Guyi whispered in Xu Zihuang's ear, "Nana is also a pitiful person. Although her martial soul is related to the evil martial soul, I can see the kindness in her bones after spending time with her."

"That's why I asked Sister Lingyi to bring her here to Moon Pivot Island as well." Xu Zihuang smiled slightly, and a white light flashed at his left wrist. A right arm soul bone radiating a strong soul power appeared above his left palm.

It was the soul bone that exploded after the Golden Flame Bird perished.

The dazzling golden light bathed the entire hall in a golden hue, the golden light containing an aura of intense heat.

“Sister Lingyi, you know the origin of this soul bone. From my observation, the soul skill attached to this soul bone has been solidified, and it is very likely an ability related to the fire of the sun. In terms of attributes, it is very compatible with your Holy Angel Martial Soul. The only drawback is that its age is relatively low.”

Ye Guyi rested her chin on Xu Zihuang's shoulder, looking at him intently, her delicate nose slightly wrinkled.

"You're giving me the soul bones that other women don't want?"

Xu Zihuang naturally knew who the woman Ye Guyi was referring to was, and could only smile wryly at the situation.

"Sister Lingyi, there's really nothing between me and Senior Xiaotao."

"Just because you have no feelings for that old woman doesn't mean she feels the same way," Ye Guyi sneered, her eyes deep and unfathomable. From Xu Zihuang's memories, she had discerned some of Ma Xiaotao's hidden thoughts. Moreover, back then, Ma Xiaotao had repeatedly used a commanding tone to ask Xu Zihuang to help her suppress her evil desires.

She never treated Xu Zihuang like that, so what right does that old woman have? What qualifications does she have?

Old woman?

Xu Zihuang's lips twitched slightly. He felt that, given Ye Guyi's personality, she would likely clash with Ma Xiaotao sooner or later once she arrived at Shrek Academy.

The coldness in Ye Guyi's eyes vanished in an instant as she reached out and used her soul power to take the soul bone from Xu Zihuang's hand.

Ma Xiaotao's seventh spirit ring and this spirit bone originated from the same spirit beast. The more so, the more she wanted to absorb this spirit bone. Ideally, she would later demonstrate the spirit skill attached to this spirit bone in front of Ma Xiaotao.

Of course, Ye Guyi wasn't entirely acting out of spite. She could feel an unparalleled compatibility between this soul bone and her. Soul rings value age, while soul bones prioritize quality. Although this soul bone before her couldn't compare to the top-tier 100,000-year soul bones, it was still a top-grade soul bone on par with Xu Zihuang's Thunderous Hell Vine right leg bone.

The right arm soul bone has a much higher priority than the right leg bone. All things considered, she will definitely not lose out by absorbing this soul bone.

"Sister Lingyi, don't push yourself. We'll definitely get soul bones with higher age in the future. This one is indeed a bit too young," Xu Zihuang reminded her.

Ye Guyi smiled sweetly and shook her head.

"Zihuang, don't take what I said earlier seriously. There are very few soul bones suitable for me, and this soul bone is actually more compatible with my martial soul than you think. Protect me."

Since Ye Guyi had said so, Xu Zihuang remained silent for a moment and did not insist any further. Just as Ye Guyi said, he had taken these factors into consideration before taking out the soul bone.

Ye Guyi sat cross-legged on the sofa, releasing her golden-white soul power to guide the power within the soul bone and begin to merge with herself.

The moment her right arm was raised, and her soul power barely touched the Golden Flame Bird's right arm bone, a rich golden light surged towards her like flowing water, instantly enveloping her right arm.

The golden light, like leaping flames, was extraordinary and wondrous. Ye Guyi's entire body was bathed in gold, and her long, flowing golden hair rose automatically without wind. The aura of sacred light made one feel an irresistible urge to prostrate oneself in worship.

Relying on the profound foundation of the Holy Angel Martial Soul, her aura remained stable from beginning to end, suppressing the violent energy contained in her soul bone.

This state is extremely similar to when Xu Zihuang fused with the right leg bone of the Thunderous Hell Vine. Because their martial souls are among the top in the world, it is virtually impossible for them to suffer a backlash from their soul bones.
