Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Mo Lan wholeheartedly agreed, because Tang Tiannan's guardian deity, Di Ting, could sense people's hearts. Since he valued Li Moxuan so much, his character must be impeccable.

Moreover, all of Li Moxuan's previous bounty missions were accepted through her, and his opponents were mostly Deities whose divine realm was higher than his, yet Li Moxuan never failed.

Given his speed of breaking through three realms in a year, he's definitely a genius and will surely be able to step into immortality in the future. Recognizing him as a godfather would definitely be beneficial for Xiaoxiao...

Tang Wusheng also unusually voiced his opinion, "I have no objection..."

This……

Li Moxuan couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to agree. "Cao Yanbing, it's not that I want to be your godfather! I can't help it!"

So, it turns out that Cao Yanbing's father's ancestor, Cao Yanxin, recognized him as his elder brother, and his mother, Tang Xiaoxiao, recognized him as her godfather. It seems that Cao Yanbing and I are really destined to be together.

However, the swordsman's revenge remains a sword of Damocles hanging over the Tang Clan...

After Jiang Ciyou kicked a group of people out of the ward, Li Moxuan took the initiative to approach Tang Tiannan.

"Have you ever considered that the swordsman you assassinated a year ago might come back for revenge?"

"Of course I've thought about it..."

Tang Tiannan sighed, "I'm afraid a lot of people will die then..."

His purpose in leaving this time was to find the person behind the bounty. If he could capture that person, perhaps he could quell the swordsman's anger...

Have you ever thought about running away? Running away to the deep mountains and forests, or rather, running away to the vast world?

Tang Tiannan shook his head. "The reason the Tang Clan is so powerful is because anyone who kills a member of the Tang Clan will be put on the assassination list and hunted down by the entire Tang Clan!"

"This also means that members of the Tang Clan have many enemies. Once they go into hiding, it means they have left the Tang Clan and are no longer under its protection!"

"Correspondingly, the Tang Clan can even offer bounties for those who leave the Tang Clan. Although it's hard to admit, most members of the Tang Clan are profit-driven people..."

"As long as you can afford the price, no matter where the target runs, someone will hunt them down. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, that swordsman will probably follow the scent of blood to find them..."

Li Moxuan understood. "Is this also the reason why you've been frantically expanding the Tang Clan and strengthening the defenses of Thousand Machine City lately?"

"Um……"

Tang Tiannan let out a long sigh, "Now that Xiaoxiao has been born, I can't waste any more time. Tomorrow I will pass the position of sect leader to Wusheng, and then I'll go find someone!"

Hopefully, we can find it before the swordsman returns for revenge!

"Lingyan, I once had the honor of meeting that swordsman. He is a man of principle. Since you are not a member of the Tang Clan, he should not harm you!"

"If... he really comes back for revenge, I don't ask you for anything else, I just hope that you can take Xiaoxiao away for the sake of our time together, okay?"

Li Moxuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand..."

Tang Xiaoxiao is Cao Yanbing's mother. Even if Tang Tiannan didn't say anything, Li Moxuan would still lend a hand out of consideration for Cao Yanbing...

"Haha, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Tang Tiannan smiled and took out a golden brocade pouch, handing it to Li Moxuan. "Take it!"

Li Moxuan took the brocade pouch and examined it. "What is this?"

"A brilliant plan!"

Tang Tiannan smiled mysteriously, "Consider this a gift from me. Open it after you enter the Immortal Realm; there will be a surprise!"

Why all the secrecy?

Li Moxuan didn't think much of it and put away the brocade pouch. Without even wondering, he knew there was definitely a note inside, but he didn't know what was written on it...

"Oh, right, here you go!"

Li Mo returned the sect leader's token that Tang Tiannan had lent him earlier, saying, "People in Qianji City basically all know me now, I don't need this anymore..."

"I had completely forgotten about it until you mentioned it..."

Tang Tiannan smiled and put away his sect leader's token, glancing at him. "How about you come for a walk with me?"

"Row……"

……

As evening fell, Li Moxuan walked alone on his way back to Tingyu Pavilion, wondering to himself with a hint of curiosity, "Emperor Taizong, could you defeat that swordsman?"

Li Shimin naturally knew who he was talking about, and frowned, "You kid don't actually want to clash with him, do you?"

"Just out of curiosity..."

"I advise you not to have that idea. If you really encounter him, I can ensure your safe departure, but I will never fight him!"

"The difference in strength between you is too great. If I force you to fight him head-on at the same level, your body will explode from the pressure before long!"

"Think about who you are. You're not alone now. There are so many people waiting for you. It's completely unnecessary for a group of people you've only known for a year, understand?"

"Okay, I understand..."

Li Moxuan understood what he meant. If you can't even guarantee your own safety, don't expect to protect others. Li Moxuan knew what was more important!

At worst, we can just do as Tang Tiannan said and protect Tang Xiaoxiao...

Chapter 338: You've Come at the Perfect Time

Back at Tingyu Pavilion, Li Moxuan noticed that the courtyard gate was open and the lights inside the house were on, indicating that someone was inside...

He walked into the house and immediately saw Jiang Ciyou sitting on the sofa eating fruit. Why did this guy follow me here?

"You're finally back!"

Jiang Ciyou swallowed the fruit in her mouth, patted the person next to her, and said, "Come on, come on, sit down!"

He then pushed the fruit on the plate on the coffee table towards them, saying, "Try it, don't be shy!"

Li Moxuan was speechless. Tang Tiannan had brought him this fruit, but Jiang Ciyou had eaten it all, making it seem like this place was hers...

He pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Jiang Ciyou. "What do you want?"

"Can't I come to you for no reason? Sword God Lingyan!"

Li Moxuan didn't indulge her and turned to go upstairs to rest, but Jiang Ciyou hurriedly stopped him, "Okay, okay, let's talk about serious matters!"

She cleared her throat lightly. "I'm here to invite you to join us!"

Join?

Li Moxuan frowned. "What?"

Jiang Ciyou didn't rush to answer, but instead asked, "Lingyan, don't you think the Great Thousand God Realm is in chaos right now? There's absolutely no order..."

Upon hearing this, Li Moxuan stopped listening. Wasn't this just the same rhetoric he used to trick people into joining him in conquering the Underworld?

Could it be that Jiang Ciyou wants to become an empress?

But Emperor Yan's power doesn't seem to compare to that of Emperor Huang and Chi You! And I haven't heard of her in the future, which means she's already failed…

"Stop..."

Li Moxuan did not rush to refuse, but asked, "Do you want to unify the Great Thousand God Realm?"

"Hmm, would you like to join?"

Jiang Ciyou emphasized, "We are currently in the startup phase. Once you join, you'll be a founding member. How about that?"

Li Moxuan sized her up. "Unify the Great Thousand God Realm? You think you can?"

"of course not……"

Jiang Ciyou smiled faintly, "Don't forget that we are descendants of Yan and Huang, so I know the Yellow Emperor and we have formed an alliance with them, and I have their support!"

An alliance?

"What happens after you unify the Great Thousand God Realm? Will they make you the Empress, or will you make the Yellow Emperor's guardian deity the Emperor?"

"Don't worry, the Yellow Emperor doesn't have a guardian spirit at the moment. It's very difficult for an ordinary person to become his guardian spirit. It will probably take several hundred years before he finds one..."

"What if we get pregnant later?"

Li Moxuan knew that in about fifty years, not only would the Yellow Emperor's guardian spirit appear, but even Chi You's guardian spirit would emerge...

Jiang Ciyou was unaware of these things, so she felt that Li Moxuan was deliberately messing with her. "If I tell you what to do, will you join me?"

"no……"

Li Moxuan said very frankly, "I will not join..."

He felt deep down that Jiang Ciyou wouldn't succeed. Fifty years later, she would be almost seventy years old, and he still hadn't heard any news about her.

Either she died before starting her business, or she was abandoned after the appearance of the Yellow Emperor's divine being...

Of course, even without these events, Li Moxuan wouldn't have joined, since he himself could be considered Jiang Ciyou's potential rival.

Hearing his answer, Jiang Ciyou was annoyed, "Why ask so many questions if you're not going to join?"

"Just out of curiosity..."

Li Moxuan turned around. "If there's nothing else, I'll go back and rest now. Remember to close the door when you leave!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ciyou became even angrier. No, she had to teach this guy a lesson!

"Stop right there!"

Jiang Ciyou rolled up his sleeves and was about to strike Li Moxuan's chest with his palm. Could this be the Five Poison Palm?

Li Moxuan turned around, staring intently at Jiang Ciyou's hand. He stretched out his right hand, ready to summon the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword to cut off her hand at any moment, though that might be a bit unrealistic.

After all, Jiang Ciyou was not only the host of Emperor Yan, but also possessed the divine realm of the first stage of immortality, while Li Moxuan was only at the third stage of creation, resulting in a significant disparity in their strength.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Tang Wusheng appeared in the doorway, drawing their attention...

Jiang Ciyou quickly withdrew her power, and Li Moxuan, seeing this, also abandoned his intention to summon the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword. So Jiang Ciyou lightly patted Li Moxuan's chest with her palm.

To make her actions seem more natural, she patted the object a few more times, as if she were dusting it off.

The video also included the line, "Look at you, your clothes are all dirty after this mission..."

She herself thought there was nothing wrong with what she said, but from Tang Wusheng's perspective, it was a big problem: in the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone...

She couldn't have come all this way just to brush the dust off Li Moxuan's clothes, could she?

"Ahem, it seems I've arrived at the wrong time..."

After Tang Wusheng finished speaking, he was about to close the door and leave when Li Moxuan hurriedly slapped Jiang Ciyou's hand away and called out to him, "No, you've come at just the right time!"
