Chapter 43: Tangyuehua: I'll Bear You a Child

Outside the Sunset Forest, a hundred li away!

A luxurious carriage traveled along a desolate country road.

Beside the carriage, seven or eight members of the Clear Sky Sect rode on horses, guarding around the carriage.

Inside the carriage, a beautiful woman wearing a silver palace robe sat inside the carriage.

The woman appeared to be about twenty years old, her eyes seeming to see through everything in the world.

In terms of bearing, among all human women on the continent, probably only the Spirit Hall's Pontiff, Bibidong, could rival her.

The difference is that she lacks the oppressive pressure that Bibidong exudes, yet her nobility is in no way inferior.

This woman is none other than the younger sister of Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, Tangyuehua.

Her skin is fair and her beauty striking, her figure graceful and well-proportioned.

Top-notch!

Tangyuehua sat properly inside the carriage, her black hair coiled into a dignified hairstyle, with two strands of black hair naturally falling beside her delicate face.

Her beautiful face showed no expression, but her eyes revealed a hint of joy.

Recently, her elder brother Tang Xiao returned from his travels across the continent, yet he was gravely injured.

This is not important; what matters is that through Tang Xiao she learned that Tang Hao was seriously injured by the Spirit Hall's Pontiff Qianxunji, and then disappeared.

These days, despite using the Clear Sky Sect's people to search for Tang Hao, she found nothing, as if Tang Hao had vanished from the world, leaving her utterly desperate.

But just two days ago, she suddenly received news that Tang Hao was in the Sunset Forest.

Thus, having received the news, Tangyuehua then set out for the Sunset Forest under the protection of some sect members.

Thinking that she would soon see her long‑missed Tang Hao, Tangyuehua's lips curled into a faint smile.

She smiled without showing her teeth!

Later, Tangyuehua established the Moon Pavilion, a place dedicated to teaching noble etiquette in the Tiandou Empire.

It can be said that Tangyuehua is versed in all manners of etiquette, and she herself possesses exceptional bearing, as if she were the very standard of propriety.

"Who are you, daring to block the path of our Clear Sky Sect?"

"I'll give you a chance to scram now, or else it's only death!"

At that moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and immediately the roar of the head guard rang out.

Upon hearing this, Tangyuehua also lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside.

Ahead, a figure clad in a golden robe stood in the middle of the road.

His face was angular and striking, handsome and suave, his stature tall, especially his eyes, which seemed to possess a demonic charm.

And behind the man, two figures stood left and right, serving as his attendants.

While Tangyuehua was sizing up Qianxunji, Qianxunji was also sizing up Tangyuehua.

Her silver palace robe fully revealed her curvaceous figure, wickedly magnificent, as if the robe would burst apart at any moment.

Her face could topple nations, ranking her on par with Bibidong and A Yin.

As for Liu Er Long, although she is also an unparalleled beauty, compared to Bibidong, A Yin, and Tangyuehua before her, her looks fall short by a notch.

At the instant he saw Tangyuehua, Qianxunji thought to himself:

This woman, full of bearing and poise, is mine.

If anyone dares to obstruct, then……death!

Seeing Qianxunji ignore him and merely stare fixedly at Tangyuehua, the head guard felt that such behavior was utterly disregarding him, and he grew somewhat angry.

After all, he is an eighty‑fifth‑rank Soul Douluo, powerful in strength, which is why Tang Xiao dispatched him to protect Tangyuehua.

And yet the person before him dares not to take him seriously—truly courting death.

The more the head guard thought about it, the angrier he became, glaring furiously at Qianxunji and shouting:

"Such insolence—I'll give you a lesson, old man style!"

As soon as his words fell, the head guard roared, summoning the Clear Sky Hammer and unleashing his eighth soul skill, smashing fiercely at Qianxunji.

This strike was his strongest eighth soul skill—truly a killing blow aimed at Qianxunji.

Seeing this, Tangyuehua inside the carriage hurriedly said:

"Elder Tang, don't be rash—let's talk first."

However, the head guard whom Tangyuehua called Elder Tang, hearing this, did not stop his action; he continued with a fierce leap to Qianxunji's front and brought the hammer down upon his head.

"Guard our Pontiff!"

Ju Dou Luo and Gui Douluo heard this, let out a great shout, their soul power surging, just as they were about to act.

"Huh?" Qianxunji gave a soft hum, and Ju Dou Luo and Gui Douluo halted their movements, standing still.

"Die!"

At that moment, Elder Tang's Clear Sky Hammer came down directly onto Qianxunji's head, and the old man's face already bore a smile.

He knew that the person before him was doomed to die; aside from a Titled Douluo, anyone struck on the head by his eighth soul skill would meet only death.

But just then, Qianxunji moved.

He threw a punch!

"Boom!"

The next instant, the Clear Sky Hammer shattered outright.

"Hiss!"

Elder Tang sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes filled with terror, and he swiftly darted backward to flee.

"You think you can run after hitting me?"

Qianxunji murmured, then reached out with his large hand, seizing Elder Tang's throat and lifting him straight into the air.

"Ho… ho…"

Old Tang felt his throat clamped tightly by iron pliers, piercing pain spread through his body, and his neck could break at any moment.

The surrounding guards had originally come together to kill him when Old Tang rushed over.

But seeing even the strongest Old Tang defeated in a single move, the guards hurriedly retreated.

Ju Dou Luo, seeing this, asked again:

"Your Holiness the Pope, what should we do with these people?"

"Kill the men, keep the women!"

Qianxunji's icy voice rang out, sounding to these guards like the voice of a demon.

"Flee... flee quickly..."

"He's a demon, we must flee quickly!"

"Yes, Your Holiness!" Ju Dou Luo Ghost Douluo replied reverently, moved his body, and rushed at the remaining guards to kill them.

Under the pursuit of the two titled Douluo, these guards were like ants, mercilessly slaughtered by Ju Dou Luo Ghost Douluo.

Finally, only Old Tang held by Qianxunji remained, along with Tangyuehua inside the carriage.

At this moment, Tangyuehua stepped forward with lotus steps, her gaze pitying as she glanced at the surrounding dead Tang family guards.

Finally, she directed her gaze at Old Tang held in Qianxunji's hands.

Old Tang was her direct senior relative.

Thus, Tangyuehua came before Qianxunji, her pleasant voice sounding:

"I suppose this is the Spirit Hall's Pope, Qianxunji, right?"

"Hmm!" Qianxunji grunted, his gaze sweeping up and down Tangyuehua's body, nodding in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Tangyuehua placed her hands before her chest, her delicate brows slightly furrowed as she said:

"I never expected the renowned Spirit Hall Pope to engage in banditry like raiding homes, and moreover rudely scanning me, a lady of noble birth, with his gaze."

"Ha ha... ha ha..."

Hearing this, Qianxunji laughed loudly a few times and said:

"I am a great villain; what etiquette do I need?"

"In my view, winners are kings, losers are bandits."

Tangyuehua, hearing this, had some surprise in her eyes.

She had also heard before of the Spirit Hall Pope Qianxunji, who was refined and elegant, handsome and graceful, upright and noble, possessing an aloof pride.

But now, his handsomeness and grace are indeed true, yet how could his conduct be so demonic?

Shaking her head, Tangyuehua looked at Old Tang being choked by Qianxunji to the point of near suffocation, and quickly said:

"I don't know, Your Holiness the Pope, could you release our Clear Sky Sect's Old Tang?"

"Sure!"

"Thank you!"

"As long as you bear me a child, I will release him!"
