Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 818 - 817: Is the Sky-breaking City Lord Coming?

Pretty Boy’s mind flashed with information about the other party as he asked the two Messengers, "May I know if there’s any urgent matter for discussion with the Owner of Sky-breaking City’s visit this time? According to the rules of the Ancestral Court, City Lords of main cities aren’t allowed to move around at will."

The Messenger from the Heavenly Fox Tribe laughed, "It’s precisely because of this rule that the Owner of Sky-breaking City first submitted an application to the Ancestral Court Council. After receiving approval from the council, he’s now preparing to set off, and he deliberately sent us ahead to notify you. As for the specifics, we’re not aware of them, but once the Owner of Sky-breaking City arrives, he should personally explain them to you."

Pretty Boy replied, "Alright then, I, in my capacity, will wait in Jiali City for the Owner of Sky-breaking City’s honored arrival."

Both Messengers stood up at the same time, with the Messenger from the Heavenly Fox Tribe smiling and saying, "I have completed the task on behalf of the Ancestral Court, and Brother Leiguang here will continue to stay in Jiali City to assist in receiving the Owner of Sky-breaking City."

Pretty Boy nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The Messenger from the Heavenly Fox Tribe left directly, returning to the Ancestral Court. Meanwhile, Tang Leiguang, a king-class Messenger from the Behemoth Clan, stayed to facilitate communication with the Peacock Demon Clan. Visits between main cities are rare in Demon Monster Land. However, both parties being City Lords and considering Sky-breaking City’s prominent status among the Tianyu Empire, one cannot neglect this matter. Naturally, the Elders of the Peacock Demon Clan were in contact with this king-class Messenger from the Behemoth Clan.

Returning to the rear hall, Pretty Boy immediately found the princess and recounted what the two Messengers had said.

After hearing the story, the princess also furrowed her brows, "Our clan has little to do with the Behemoth Clan. What’s the meaning behind this sudden visit from the Owner of Sky-breaking City? And the Ancestral Court even approved it. One of the fundamental policies of the Ancestral Court is the autonomy of the main cities. They least wish to see close relations between main cities, as that could potentially undermine the Ancestral Court’s authority. Hence, most of the time, Emperors generally do not personally take on the role of City Lord when there is an outstanding descendant available. This sudden visit from the Behemoth Clan’s City Lord must entail something significant, and moreover, it involves the Ancestral Court and has their support. I’m afraid it’s aimed at you! You have just recently succeeded as the City Lord."

Pretty Boy was also puzzled, "What can they do to me? I’m a bit confused. The reporting duty has been completed; I am now formally acknowledged as the City Lord, not even the Ancestral Court can do much about it."

The princess said, "Let’s not make wild guesses here. Once your father is out of seclusion, ask him, he might have some insights."

Pretty Boy said, "I’ll also ask Tang San, he might be able to think of something too. But don’t worry, it should not be anything too serious."

She couldn’t tell the princess that among the Emperors of the Ancestral Court, apart from the White Tiger Great Demon King, both the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Undying Great Demon Emperor were standing by her side, and this godfather, the Undying Great Demon Emperor, wasn’t in the position for nothing. As the current true number one powerhouse of the Tianyu Empire at the Ancestral Court, with him supporting her, even the Owner of Sky-breaking City himself wouldn’t be able to do much to her.

There are eight Emperors in total in the Tianyu Empire, and three of them would support her. It can be said that her position in Jiali City is as solid as a rock.

Thus, despite the enigmatic arrival of these two Messengers, Pretty Boy wasn’t particularly worried.

After saying goodbye to the princess, Pretty Boy used the Teleportation Array to directly head to Crescent Island again. But as soon as she teleported onto Crescent Island, her pretty face couldn’t help but redden—she had only just left and now she had returned. What would he think?

Humph! She was there on important business, not because she started to miss him just after a short time apart.

The Teleportation Array was built by Tang San, and the Endless Blue Ocean itself was the Sea God’s Domain. As soon as Pretty Boy arrived using the teleportation, Tang San sensed her presence. Thus, while the blush on her pretty face had yet to fade, Tang San had already teleported there, appearing right in front of her.

Seeing him, Pretty Girl’s face immediately grew redder. Tang San opened his arms to her, smiling at her as if to say, "Quick, come into my embrace."

"Don’t be silly, there are matters to attend to," Pretty Girl softly chided.

Tang San, however, took a step forward, pulling her into his arms, "Even with matters to attend to, it doesn’t prevent you from talking about them here in my arms. What’s the matter? Tell me."

Pretty Girl made a token struggle before letting him hold her, "An emissary from the Ancestral Court suddenly arrived, saying that the Owner of Sky-breaking City will be visiting our Jiali City. I have no clue what it means. They should be arriving shortly. I came especially to consult you, what is the Ancestral Court up to?"

"Hmm?" Tang San also paused momentarily, as he too was unclear as to why the Ancestral Court would permit the Owner of Sky-breaking City to visit Jiali City. These two main cities had no relationship with each other.

"Can you recount the detailed conversation you had with the two messengers?" Tang San said thoughtfully.

Pretty Girl immediately relayed the details of the conversation, concluding with, "They basically said nothing, just notified me that the Owner of Sky-breaking City would come. So neither my godmother nor I understand what they mean. Is the Ancestral Court stirring up some trouble?"

Tang San’s eyes narrowed slightly, "It must be the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox has thought of some scheme, surely aimed at you again. However, we’ve just completed our duty report not long ago, so it’s definitely not open oppression from the Ancestral Court. The Owner of Sky-breaking City, the Behemoth Clan. What are they planning to do?"

Pretty Girl said, "It doesn’t matter. We’ll deal with the soldiers when they come and stack sandbags against the flood. I’m not afraid of what they might do. If they really want to do something to Jiali City, I still have my grandfather and my god-grandfather. They won’t just watch me being bullied."

Tang San spoke gravely, "You can’t say that. The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox is very intelligent, cunning, and has long controlled the luck. Last time we outsmarted them because it was sudden and caught them off guard. Since this action is specifically targeted at you, they must have some assurance. However, it’s true that right now we can’t guess the specifics. Let’s just react accordingly when the Owner of Sky-breaking City actually arrives. The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox certainly can’t imagine that we can reach the Ancestral Court directly through the Teleportation Array. So, if anything untoward happens, you can still seek justice from either the White Tiger Great Demon King or the Undying Great Demon Emperor in time."

"Uh-huh, that’s what I was thinking," nodded Pretty Girl.

Tang San said, "By the way, where’s your father? Why didn’t he come with you?"

Pretty Girl’s expression was somewhat strange as she replied, "He’s been imparted a bloodline by my godmother. Earlier he said he wanted to see the abilities you’ve developed, but I don’t know what happened, he changed his mind again. Now he’s in seclusion, absorbing it."

After mulling it over, Tang San smiled, "That must be the princess’s idea. They love each other deeply, and naturally still hope that her husband retains the Peacock Bloodline. But from this, it seems that their relationship has recovered quite well. The princess doesn’t hold his human background against him. That’s good, too. Moreover, regaining control of the Peacock Transformation is indeed suitable for your father."

Pretty Girl nodded and said, "Yes! My father was previously influenced by his innate talents. This time, reinstating the Peacock Transformation as a human, he should be able to regain a certain level of his power. However, it’s obvious that my godmother is very happy; she seems radiant. Seeing her like this, I’m happy for her too."

Tang San laughed, "That’s the power of love. Just like when you’re by my side, I never hesitate, feeling like I have a backbone in my heart. No matter how difficult things are, I can break through barriers and march forward."

Pretty Girl gave him a glance but still felt pleased, hugging him a bit tighter, "Then I should head back. That messenger from the Behemoth Clan is still around. I need to respond and make some preparations. After all, we’re expecting a visit from a Main City Lord. We can’t give anyone a chance to pick on our etiquette." Explore more stories at novelbuddy
