Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

So, when the Power of Luck appeared, the imposing airs of the two Peacock Demon Clan Great Demon Kings were immediately suppressed, diminishing any intention of initiating a conflict.

The Heavenly Fox Clan youth smiled and said, "Junior from the Heavenly Fox Clan, Yu Yiran, greets the two seniors. This investigation is indeed arranged by the Ancestral Court itself. Whether it is us or you, we must follow the will of the Ancestral Court. The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, accompanied by the Peacock Demon King, has already gone to investigate. Before the case is concluded, we would trouble everyone to cooperate, or else, it will be difficult for us to explain back at the Ancestral Court."

Wang Yu was about to say more but was grabbed by Wang Han beside her. Wang Han indifferently said, "Fine. Let\'s do as you say."

A faint silver light flickered on his body, and the Power of Luck that surrounded them nearly dissipated in an instant amidst twisting waves. Then, his voice quickly spread throughout the depths of the mansion, "All of the Peacock Demon Clan, gather in the council hall."

Yu Yiran\'s expression slightly changed, realizing that the control over Luck he had just displayed was forcibly scattered by the divine consciousness of the other party. Controlling Luck wasn\'t everything, especially when facing someone of divine consciousness level where its effectiveness was limited. Thus, it was impossible for him to suppress the two Peacock Demon Clan Great Demon Kings with Luck. What the two Great Demon Kings feared was him adding to the Luck of the two True Phoenix Great Demon Kings, which they could not prevent.

However, it was clear that the Peacock Demon Clan still did not dare to openly defy the will of the Ancestral Court and chose to cooperate, which relieved Yu Yiran somewhat. Their arrival this time was not to immediately wrest control of Jiali City from the Peacock Demon Clan but to impart guilt, to frame the Peacock Demon King with crimes, and then to continue maneuvering within the Ancestral Court. To boost the momentum for the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. The gap in strength between Great Demon Kings and Great Demon Emperors would eventually steer the final outcome towards the Great Monster Emperor Lin Ximo.

It didn\'t take long for the clansmen of the Peacock Demon Clan to gather in the hall. Although the Peacock Demon Clan had a long heritage, because it was relatively difficult to generate progeny, their numbers were not very large.

Those who arrived in the hall were all above the Seventh Stage; naturally, those below the Seventh Stage were not included.

In total, over two hundred Peacock Demon Clan members of the Seventh Stage and above filled the hall to capacity, and their presence made the elemental waves of space in the air become noticeably denser.

Yu Yiran was secretly astonished in his heart. Although the Peacock Demon Clan did not have a Great Demon Emperor, it was truly profound in heritage! Among the many powerful Peacock Clan members present, just those above the Demon King Level were more than twenty in number. Though there were only two Great Demon Kings, Wang Han and her brother Wang Yu, the assembly of so many Peacock Demon Clan members together created an intangible might that posed a strong oppressive force.

The eyes of the two True Phoenix Great Monster Kings also became more solemn. This was the territory of the Peacock Demon Clan, and had it not been for the leadership of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, the two of them would not dare to be so intimidating.

Wang Han indifferently said, "All the nobles of our clan above the Seventh Stage have all arrived. We hope the investigation into this matter can be quickly concluded. If it is ultimately proven unrelated to us, then, we will request an explanation from the Ancestral Court."

Yu Yiran responded, "Of course, thank you for your cooperation. But if I may ask once more, are all the noble clansmen above the Seventh Stage already here?"

"Indeed." Wang Han indifferently said.

At that moment, a slightly soft voice rose, "There\'s one who hasn\'t come."

Wang Han suddenly turned her head, her gaze directing toward the crowd. When she saw who was speaking, a flush of annoyance crossed her eyes, and her complexion turned unsightly.

The speaker was none other than Wang Yan, right, the son of the Peacock Demon King who had led people to capture Pretty Girl but ended up returning without success.

"Who else has not arrived?" Yu Yiran had already stepped forward, unconcerned with how many Great Demon Kings and Demon Kings were surrounding him. With the protection of the Heavenly Fox Clan, he had no fear of anyone daring to act against him. Besides, with the blessing of Luck, it would be difficult for anyone to successfully target him.

Wang Yan felt the varied gazes of the surrounding clansmen and was about to say something when a beautiful middle-aged woman beside him spoke indifferently, "There is also a half-blood who is not here. She should be attending school at Jiali Academy."

As soon as she spoke, even Wang Han and Wang Yu could not say anything more. For this woman was the reigning matriarch of the Peacock Demon Clan, the main wife of the Peacock Great Monster King.

"May I ask who you are?" Yu Yiran inquired.

"This is the princess of our Peacock Demon Clan," Wang Han said.

"So it\'s the princess." Yu Yiran bowed slightly in greeting. The status of a clan matriarch was quite different. Not only was the princess beautiful, but her bloodline aura also gave him a feeling that he could not quite grasp, clearly indicating that she was at least at the strength of a Demon King Level.

"Now that you\'ve come to bully us at our door, there is no need for hypocritical courtesy. We naturally comply with the decree of the Ancestral Court, and we will not provide you with any flaws."

Without a doubt, the princess was explaining in front of the clansmen the statement her son had just made. No matter what she thought inside, her son was her son, and she could not just watch him be humiliated in front of outsiders.

"Could we then ask the princess to summon this half-blood?" Yu Yiran asked with a smile.

The Peacock princess glanced at him and said indifferently, "This half-blood has always been arrogant because of favoritism and will not listen to my orders. If you want her to come, go and call her yourself."

Yu Yiran\'s gaze flickered slightly, "In that case, we will overstep."

In the skies above Jiali City.

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

At this time, the sky had already grown somewhat dark, with the sun slowly setting in the distance, indicating that evening was approaching.

The two figures, both with slender builds, faced the direction of the setting sun, silently gazing for a long time.

"Do you concede?" Crystal Phoenix Great Monster Emperor Lin Ximo was the first to speak.

"Concede? Do you think you won?" the Peacock Great Monster King asked with an ironic smile at the corner of his mouth.

The Crystal Phoenix Great Monster Emperor shook his head and said, "No, I lost before. Despite my reluctance to admit it, I now feel that I truly lost. In the quest for that fortune, I gave up the love of my life. To most of our clansmen, that might seem insignificant. But they don\'t understand what love is. Over the years, I have lived as though my heart was being gnawed on by ants. It is this hatred, this unwillingness, this excruciating pain in my heart, that has sustained me as I continuously broke through, no matter the pain I endured, because none of it was as intense as the torment in my heart. Ultimately, I managed to overcome all obstacles and reached where I am today. If I had another chance, if I could choose again..."

"What would you do? Would you abandon that opportunity, would you choose her?" the Peacock Great Monster King asked, turning his gaze.

The Crystal Phoenix Great Monster Emperor replied with a bitter smile and a shake of his head, "No, I would still make the same choice as I did back then. Because whether it\'s you or me, we both bear the fate of our race. We both carry the mission to rejuvenate our kind. Since your father and my father died, both having suffered defeats, my Crystal Phoenix Heritage was left with only seventeen clansmen. If I fail to rise again, it won\'t be long before my branch no longer exists in the True Phoenixes, and soon we will be completely wiped out. For the fate of the race, matters of personal affection are no longer important."
