Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 697 Dividing Forces into Two Routes

Today's Pretty Girl, still clad in a silver long dress, had a flying chariot already stopped outside the door. A City Lord's flying chariot is only slightly below an Emperor's, also borne by flying horses. The City Lord's chariot had its own Dispersion halo, which all races in Demon Monster Land found formidable.

This time, accompanying her to the Ancestral Court to report was only a retinue of twenty Lion Tiger clan guards, along with her personal escort, Tang San. She didn't bring any strong members of the Peacock Demon Clan with her.

Originally, the princess had suggested that she bring a few Great Demon Kings from her clan, but Pretty Girl told her that these members were the foundation of the Peacock Demon Clan. Her reporting this time was not something that could be resolved through strength. Could any number of Great Demon Kings be compared to the Great Demon Emperor of the Ancestral Court? It's better not to bring them. Even if she truly failed to report successfully and something went awry, at least the Peacock Demon Clan still had enough power to contend for the title of Jiali City Lord again.

Within the Peacock Demon Clan, there was agreement with her words. From various pieces of information, including the Ancestral Court's summoning her to report early, it was clear that truly becoming the Jiali City Lord would be no easy task. For the Peacock Demon Clan, preserving their strength was naturally the best strategy.

Pretty Girl boarded the chariot, and Tang San, standing beside it, wasn't wearing a mask; he was showing his true face.

"Let's go," came Pretty Girl's voice from inside the chariot. Tang San nodded to the charioteer and then jumped onto the carriage pole. The flying horse accelerated, flapping its wings, taking the chariot straight into the sky. Behind, the Lion Tiger clan guards also boarded their flying chariots, closely following.

The princess, along with a host of Jiali City's senior officials, saw them off, the mood of the farewell somber and somewhat oppressive.

The princess pursed her lips. Can she return? Can she return safely? Would the Ancestral Court allow a member of the Peacock Demon Clan to become an Emperor again? These were all unanswerable questions.

Wang Qing, you prepared everything beforehand, so did you also pave the way for her reporting? Her successful reporting is tied to the fate of the entire Peacock Demon Clan.

Even if she failed to report, the princess could still represent the clan and try again in the name of the Great Elder, but in that case, the possibility of success would become even more slim. The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor might step back for his daughter, but if his daughter couldn't report successfully, the Peacock Demon Clan would remain an enemy to him.

The Princess could only think that those who might stand with the Peacock Demon Clan are seriously lacking!

The flying chariot traveled through the sky, a faint glow emanating from the chariot, stopping the strong airflow, allowing the chariot to fly smoothly.

"Come inside," Pretty Girl's voice called out from within the chariot.

Seated on the carriage pole, Tang San smiled slightly and turned to enter the chariot.

The interior of the chariot was quite spacious, basically the structure of a room and a living area.

Looking at the calm Pretty Girl, Tang San bowed and asked, "City Lord, do you have any orders?"

Pretty Girl rolled her eyes at him, "Call me Pretty Sister."

"Alright, Pretty Sister," Tang San replied as he sat down across from her.

Their gazes met, a natural and unspoken warmth spreading between them.

They both knew that they would soon face a very difficult test, and that they were the only ones who could confront everything that lay ahead. But at this moment, they felt fearless, even feeling a sense of relief.

Pretty Girl leaned against a cushion and said quietly, "Tang San, have you thought about it? Once we report successfully and return, what are we going to do?"

Tang San laughed, "There will be a lot to do. There are many, many things waiting for us. You need to become an Emperor as soon as possible, and I have to work hard to raise my Cultivation base. I plan to open at least two paths suitable for our human Cultivation. Starting with the overseas races. Let our humans have our own Cultivation capabilities. Laying down the foundation for them."

"What kind of paths?" Pretty Girl asked curiously.

Tang San shook his head, "I can't say for sure yet, it will depend on the insights I gain after my Tribulation, but I already have a general direction in mind."

Pretty Girl asked softly, "You said we are connected by fate from Previous World. So, after becoming an Emperor, will I be able to recover the memories of my past life?"

Tang San looked at her deeply, "It depends on whether you want to recover them."

Pretty Girl nodded, "I do, because I want to know how we were together in the past life. It must be a beautiful memory. Actually, these days, there's something I've been wanting to tell you."

Tang San smiled and asked, "What is it?"

Pretty Girl raised her head, her eyes deep as she looked at him, "Thank you for coming to find me."

Tang San's whole body shook, his heart's emotions almost bursting forth in an instant, his vision blurred, his lips trembling, "You... why bring up these things now?"

Pretty Girl came to his side, leaning into his embrace voluntarily, "Because I want there to be more yearning for me in your heart, so you'll be stronger and braver when you face your Tribulation. If you died, I probably couldn't live either. Then, we wouldn't be able to return to that world you spoke of."

Tang San held her tightly, but he was already at a loss for words.

Did he have absolute confidence in overcoming the Tribulation? He did not have a hundred percent certainty. Because nothing is ever without uncertainty. But at this moment, holding her as she trembled slightly in his arms, he had boosted his success rate to a hundred percent deep within his heart, as it had to be a hundred percent.

After a long while.

Pretty Girl sat up straight in his arms, "Let's go over the plan again, simulate it once more. To check for any omissions."

"Okay," Tang San nodded.

The two of them reiterated and calculated every step of their previously planned strategy in the carriage.

The City Lord's carriage flew towards the Ancestral Court, a very fast speed indeed, needing only three days to arrive. This was also the most seamless mode of transit under normal circumstances.

After a little more than a day and a half, the City Lord's carriage arrived at Black Dragon City. And it was here, within the convoy of the Jiali City Lord, that one person was missing. Explore more at empire

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Tang San slowly took a deep breath, his gaze growing more resolute.

An hour before the separation, they had been in each other's embrace, so even now, his body still carried her sweet scent.

"Little Beauty, hold on. We will both be fine. This is our last adventure," Tang San whispered, surrounded by a faint silver glow. In the next moment, he vanished without a trace, silently leaving the place.

When he reappeared, Tang San had arrived at the nearby transfer Teleportation Array of Black Dragon City.

The time-space marker shone, the Guidance Array engaged, and the teleportation commenced directly.

Wrapped in the glow of the magic array, Tang San's figure faded into the swirl of silver, vanishing abruptly amidst all the circulating silver lights.

White Tiger Grand Hotel top floor.

With a flash of light and the swirling glow of a huge magic array, Tang San appeared out of nowhere. Only a few minutes after parting with Pretty Girl, he had already taken the lead to reach the Ancestral Court.

Feeling the familiar surroundings and the rich spirituality of heaven and earth, a smile formed at the corners of Tang San's mouth.

According to the plan, after separating from Pretty Girl in Black Dragon City, he had to come to the Ancestral Court first to make some arrangements.

City Lord's report was in three parts.

To become the master of a main city, one naturally needed to be evaluated in many aspects, hence the three parts of the report effectively served as three assessments.

The first was strength; to be the City Lord that governs a city, how could one be lacking in strength? Pretty Girl needed to pass the assessment with her own strength.

The second was recognition from Emperors; she needed the approval of more than half of the Emperors of the Tianyu Empire to pass.

And the third step was the approval of the Ancestral Court. Only by gaining the acknowledgment of the Emperors of the Ancestral Court could one become a City Lord and be endowed with the blessing of the Ancestral Court.
