Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"I agree!"

When the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor uttered those three words, the White Tiger Great Demon King instinctively leaped at his Emperor Sky Pillar, and all the other emperors in attendance revealed expressions of extreme shock.

Once again, a miracle had occurred. Yes, for Pretty Girl, this was absolutely a miracle.

Standing below, watching the emperors state their positions one by one, Pretty Girl's expression could be described as utterly spectacular. When the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor said he supported her report, she could hardly believe her ears. The hatred in her heart for this man who killed her father was imaginable. Although her feelings for the Peacock Demon King were not that deep, he was still her father, a father with whom she shared a blood connection. If she had to choose the one she hated most among all the emperors present, it would undoubtedly be the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, without a second.

Yet, under such circumstances, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor actually chose to support her, which was simply unbelievable to her. She even subconsciously wondered if this was some kind of scheme.

But the reality was right before her eyes, leaving her no choice but to believe.

The subsequent support of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor was somewhat within her expectations, and she let out a slight sigh of relief. She knew that must have been Tang San's doing, securing the support of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor. That made two votes now, and it seemed, much easier to obtain than she had imagined.

The opposition of the Mammoth Great Demon Emperor brought Pretty Girl back to reality. Yes! It should indeed be so, how could there be so many in support of her?

But then, it was the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's turn.

Pretty Girl's gaze had already subconsciously moved to the next Great Demon Emperor, to her grandfather. But then she heard the words "I agree."

Her gaze shifted back, staring dumbfounded at the King of the Night who had once chased them to the ends of the earth, and who had almost led to Tang San's death. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't imagine why he would choose to support her. It was simply...

In her mind, suddenly surfaced the mysterious smile that had appeared on Tang San's face when she first asked him. When he said he would handle the second challenge, he seemed very confident. Could it be that he had persuaded the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor too? But how was that possible? If he went to find the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, wouldn't that be walking right into a trap? Not to mention persuading the other party.

And for the emperors present, their disbelief was even stronger than what Pretty Girl felt.

From the first challenge of Pretty Girl's report, where she faced three opponents, with the last being the seasoned Undying Fire Phoenix from the demon king clan, it was clear—as the instigator of the Ancestral Court Council, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox did not wish for her successful report. Since this was the intentions of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, it should also represent the wishes of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor! After all, their relationship was the closest among all the Great Demon Kings.

Simply put, long before the Heavenly Fox Great Demon King and the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor had become emperors, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor had been the Heavenly Fox Great Demon King's guardian.

The Heavenly Fox demon clan, lacking direct combat ability, would, upon reaching six tails, choose a guardian for those exceptional individuals among them. These guardians, of course, were chosen from amongst the strongest.

Almost all the strong individuals from the demon race were willing to become guardians for the Heavenly Fox demon clan, and the reason was simple: under the protection of Luck, their future growth would be much easier.

The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor was selected by the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox under these circumstances, becoming the closest of associates, always guarding the Heavenly Fox Great Demon King until he achieved the status of emperor. Rising with the tide, he too became an emperor. Now the King of the Night, he continued to accompany the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, becoming the ruler of the entire Ancestral Court.

But who could have imagined that the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, who should have undoubtedly responded to the Heavenly Fox Great Demon King, would choose to support Pretty Girl at this time? It was utterly without reason!

So much so that even the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had a slight loss of composure, and exclaimed subconsciously, "What?"

The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor turned his head to look at him, his eyes revealing a hint of apology, "I agree with her report."

…

"What is this power?" The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor looked at the golden light rings around his body with a mix of shock and anger. He found that he was completely unable to move. The young man holding the Golden Trident, although his body was gradually disappearing in the flames, the terrifying characteristics of the trident seemed to have locked everything about him in place.

"Do you believe that before I die, with the help of the Sea God's power, my next strike could kill you completely, without you having any ability to fight back?" The masked Asura seemed not to feel his body disappearing in the burning flames, the chilling intent to kill was completely focused on the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor.

I don't believe it! These three words almost came out of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor's mouth, but he did not dare in the end. The golden light rings coiling around him were not only suppressing his abilities but had even completely suppressed his divine consciousness. If the opponent's next attack were as strong, it was almost certain he would not be able to withstand it and would inevitably fall. Therefore, he did not dare to take the risk; he truly did not dare because it was his life that he would be betting.

The Asura chuckled lightly, "You could actually take a gamble, whether I really have that strong of an attack. If not, you could survive."

"What exactly do you want?" the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor said through gritted teeth.

"If you do not wish to endure my next strike, then swear a blood oath. When Pretty Girl goes to the Ancestral Court to report, you must support her, casting a supporting vote."

Would the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor dare to bet his life? Especially when compared to what seemed like an insignificant condition.

He dared not!

…

Recalling the past, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor felt several emperors' surprised gazes and the Heavenly Fox Great Demon Emperor's disbelief at this moment, which involuntarily caused a spasm in his heart.

He had never mentioned the past event to any emperor; for him, it was absolutely the most disgraceful thing. How could he possibly speak of it?

Even in his view, whether a young girl's report to the Ancestral Court was successful or not was not something he could decide. His own opinion was not that important.

However, at this moment, after the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor each made their choice in favor, it became different, oh so different!

The support of both had turned what was completely impossible for Pretty Girl into something that seemed possible now.

Thus, when the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor expressed his agreement, there was a bit of panic in his heart. But even as an emperor, the constraints of a blood oath were also tremendous. His current agreement would fully resolve his blood oath, and for him, that was the most important thing.

"Reason," said the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, his voice involuntarily cooling a few degrees.

The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor had already thought of the excuse and immediately said, "Pretty Girl performed excellently in the Ancestral Court elite competition, even defeating my successor. I had already noticed her back then. Her exceptional talent she displayed means she could potentially become a powerful emperor, making our Tianyu Empire even stronger. Although she severely injured my offspring, causing a problem with my lineage, still, for the sake of fairness and justice in the Ancestral Court. I agree with her report, hoping she will continue to work hard and be able to become an emperor soon, deterring the Sea Realm."
