At Dusk.
At the top level of the Pill Tower, inside an antique-styled study.
A figure completely wrapped in a wide black robe pushed open the door and stepped inside.
Bang!
The door was gently closed by the newcomer.
Behind the desk, Xuan Kongzi lifted his head. Seeing the visitor's attire, he was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood. Rising to his feet, he asked softly, "You're preparing to set out?"
"Mm." The black-robed man let out a light sound of acknowledgment. Lifting his hand, he pulled back the hood, revealing a young and handsome face.
Dark red hair, dark red brows, dark red eyes. The aura was strange, domineering—this was none other than Wei Yang. He lifted away the large robe draped over him, revealing two adorable little ones in his arms.
They were Wei Ye and Wei Shuo.
Wei Yang strode forward and set the two children onto a stool. Though in a strange place, the little ones weren't shy at all. They obediently sat there, their round black eyes spinning curiously around.
Xuan Kongzi came out from behind the desk, his gaze falling on the two jade-like children, and his face instantly showed a kindly smile.
"These must be your two children?"
He walked to the stool and crouched down with a grin. His pair of dry hands lightly pressed and felt along their tiny frames. After a moment, his smile deepened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of your bloodline—their innate constitution is astonishing!"
Truthfully, at the level of strength Xuan Kongzi had reached, so-called natural aptitude didn't mean much anymore.
Unless it was something like Xian'er's Woeful Poison Body or Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, those truly special constitutions that would catch his attention.
Because such constitutions were already far beyond the scope of normal talent, straight up guarantees toward sainthood. And Wei Ye and Wei Shuo happened to be born with exactly this kind of special constitution.
One was a Pure Yang Body, the other a Yin-Yang Body.
At this moment, with their origins nourished by the First Start Pill's medicinal power, both constitutions had grown increasingly vigorous.
In Xuan Kongzi's perception, within the bellies of these two little ones was a pure and dense wellspring of astonishing energy, radiating a soft, warm light. It was like two newborn suns, dazzling and brimming with life.
Even Xuan Kongzi himself was shocked.
Two special constitutions!
Such powerful physiques would draw the attention of even the Eight Ancient Clans. Of course, the Eight Clans valued their own bloodline most of all. But if they encountered special constitutions, they would never ignore them either.
Bringing them into the clan, raising them up, then arranging marriages with their own bloodline—this was a strategy they would gladly employ. Seeing Xuan Kongzi's astonishment, Wei Yang only chuckled, his eyes carrying a faint trace of pride.
These two children were the greatest pride of his life. With a thought, boundless soul power surged out from his brow. Forming hand seals, he placed two seals of soul force onto the little ones' abdomens, suppressing and concealing the origin power within them.
Noticing this, Xuan Kongzi was half exasperated and half amused. "In my Pill Tower, what is there you can't trust?"
"Being cautious is never a bad thing. I won't gamble my children's safety on the good will of everyone in the Pill Tower." Wei Yang said calmly, "Once a man's heart is seized by desire, he can commit evils others couldn't imagine."
"You…" Xuan Kongzi shook his head helplessly, "I can promise you this—in your absence, I will not let them leave my sight. Will that do?"
"Then I must thank you, Elder Xuan." Wei Yang nodded. That was exactly the assurance he wanted.
Xuan Kongzi paused, then laughed out loud. But in truth, he agreed with Wei Yang's caution. It was a good thing for young men to be careful. Such people were the ones who lived long.
"When do you plan to leave?"
"Right now."
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi gave a nod. He didn't say more, only stayed crouched there to amuse the two children. After a while, he said softly, "Be careful."
"Alright." Wei Yang responded softly, then bent down, reaching out to pat the two little ones on their heads, his voice gentle, "Daddy and Mommy have to go out for a few days, you two have to be good, no being naughty, and you must listen to Grandpa Xuan, understand?"
"Mm." The two little ones nodded vigorously.
"Good kids." Wei Yang smiled, then straightened up and turned to leave.
Behind him, Xuan Kongzi carried one child in each arm, chuckling, "Good babies, Grandpa Xuan will hold you."
The two children quietly nestled in Xuan Kongzi's embrace, not crying or fussing, their eyes just staring unblinkingly at the door that was slowly closing shut.
After a while.
"Grandpa Xuan, where is Daddy going?"
"Well, he's going to rescue your master, your master was taken away by bad people."
When the setting sun completely sank beneath the horizon and night fell, darkness covering the land. More than ten figures cloaked in black robes, using the cover of darkness, quietly slipped into the surging crowd and silently, without attracting anyone's attention, left Holy Pill City.
Immediately after, these black shadows shot into the sky, and with a few flashes, vanished into the night.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
On a mountain peak outside Holy Pill City, faint sounds of breaking wind stirred. The dozen or so figures shrouded in large black robes converged there, descending atop the peak. They only exchanged slight nods as greeting, the whole process wordless.
Then.
"Let's go."
At the lead, Wei Yang's gaze swept across, seeing that everyone had arrived, his figure moved first, transforming into a blurred black streak, lightning-fast as he shot toward the distant horizon. Behind him, Ah Da, Xian'er, Xiao Yan and the others followed closely.
Death Soul Mountain Range.
Situated in the northwestern region of Central Plains, stretching endlessly. This place could be considered one of Central Plains' infamous danger zones. It's said that long ago, many battles erupted here, and beneath the soil of the range lay countless buried corpses.
Moreover, due to the abnormal environment here, with dense natural cold energy, chilling mist perpetually shrouded the mountains, blocking out the sun and sky.
Within this chilling mist, soul perception would be greatly hindered. If reckless people barged in, they might very well become trapped and die lost within the endless mountains.
The Death Soul Mountain Range were not too far from the Pill Region. From the moment they departed, Wei Yang and his group hardly stopped or rested. With Ah Da opening a temporary spatial passage, they traveled nearly day and night without pause.
Thus, with their speed, after four days, nearing dusk, they finally approached their destination. Emerging from the temporary space channel, as they advanced further, before long they sensed the surrounding temperature plummeting quickly.
"We're finally here?"
Wei Yang lifted his head, eyes beneath the cloaks shadow gazing into the distant horizon. There, the outline of an endless mountain range faintly appeared.
But outside that range, it was completely enveloped in an icy cold mist. Even the air temperature at the outskirts had been drastically altered. Staring at the mountain range covered in chilling fog, carrying a sense of foreboding, everyone nevertheless exhaled slightly in relief.
The Death Soul Mountain Range, they had finally arrived. After moving a little further, they neared the mountain's edge.
Wei Yang waved his hand, signaling the group to halt their flight, and they slowly descended onto a peak outside the mountains.
"Up ahead is the Death Soul Mountain Range, let's all rest here for a bit, recover your states." His voice came from beneath the cloak as his feet touched the ground.
Naturally, the group had no objections, so they scattered to restore themselves.
Zi Yan, the little lass, tugged off the cloak over her head and plopped straight onto the grass, her small face full of weariness. These days of constant rushing had really worn her out.
After all, keeping pace with a group of Dou Zun, even with her spatial talent, had been quite exhausting.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, glanced at her and chuckled, "Told you not to come, but you insisted. How about you stay here and wait for us to come back?"
"Hmph, no way." Zi Yan bared her little tiger teeth, waving her fists fiercely, "Xiao Yan, when we go back, you have to refine three—no, four bottles of pills for me."
Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly, then stopped paying her attention, closing his eyes to recover his strength.
