NOVEL NEXT Chapter 882: Two Emperors
Tang San stood up, and the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders beside him also finished their meditation and stood up with him.
Jin Chengwu was already back to this side, bringing with him all the king-class and above level powerhouses of the Diamond Elf Clan.
Seeing Tang San stand up, it was somewhat surprised, but before long, it also felt the familiar aura.
At this moment, it was not relieved, but secretly shocked.
From the appearance of Tang San, he must also be at the Great Spirit King level; however, the Blue Gold Tree Clan was not known for their divine consciousness. Why could the other party feel it, yet he did not?
Moreover, with the speed of an Emperor's flight, he felt the presence almost a minute later than the other party, which meant the other's divine consciousness was far superior to his own.
At this time, the Elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan had also felt the two auras that were approaching. Among these two auras, one was like the grand descent of the sun, carrying an illustrious presence and powerful oppressive force, while the other had an elusive but intimidating essence that was deeper than the previous.
Undoubtedly, these were two Emperors.
Feeling that the arrivals were two Emperors, the Elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan became significantly relieved. Naturally, this was much better than just the Diamond Celestial Spirit Emperor himself returning. The presence of another Emperor indicated that there had been some responsive action from the Ancestral Court, and they would not let them face the Diamond Celestial Spirit Emperor alone.
While they were speculating various possibilities in their minds, two figures descended from the sky and landed directly in the midst of the confrontation.
The arrival of the two mighty Emperors, with their powerful divine consciousness, instantly suppressed the aura of all king-class powerhouses present.
On the left side, one was enveloped in resplendent golden armor. This golden armor was not made of metal material but completely presented as a golden crystal. When he landed, his whole body seemed to have completely connected with the earth as if it became a part of the earth, or rather, the controller of the earth.
Undoubtedly, this was the Indomitable Diamond Celestial Spirit Emperor, ranked sixth among the Seven Tianjing Emperors of the Rihchen Empire.
The other one was wearing a black cloak which seemed to have countless eyes flickering with dim light on it. Just a glance at it gave a dizzying feeling.
This figure was tall and thin, approximately two meters high, his complexion somewhat pale but his features strikingly handsome. He emanated an incredibly mysterious vibe, his divine consciousness elusive yet omnipresent. Even though he stood beside the Diamond Celestial Spirit Emperor, there was an intangible sense of intimidating everything, even the light bursting from the Diamond Celestial Spirit Emperor's crystalline armor disappeared when it neared him.
Tang San had not met all the Emperors; these two were first-time encounters for him. But from their aura, he could deduce their identities.
Rihchen Empire, ranked fourth among the Seven Tianjing Emperors, Stone-Touching Soul-Stealing Spirit King, the patriarch of the Soul-stealing Tree lineage, an extremely powerful being. There were even rumors that his divine consciousness level was on par with Tianyang Spirit King and Earth Yin Spirit King. In controlling divine consciousness, he was unparalleled.
The Soul-stealing Tree was also part of the Tree Clan lineage, undoubtedly, this lineage must have been blessed by the Tree Ancestor. Sending this Soul-Stealing Spirit King along with the Diamond Celestial Spirit Emperor from the Ancestral Court was clearly a sign of providing a certain level of protection for the Blue Gold Tree Clan.
As soon as the Diamond Celestial Spirit Emperor landed, his gaze swept toward Tang San and the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders, and the mighty oppressive force of his divine consciousness surged over like a raging tide.
Despite the previous confidence of all the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders, when the two Emperors actually arrived, they could not help but feel uneasy, all of them bowed their heads. Jin Miaosen tried hard to raise his head, but faced with that overwhelming pressure, he still could not resist.
Only Tang San stood there calmly, unaffected by the intense pressure of the Diamond Elf King's divine consciousness.
"Cough cough cough!" Light coughing sounded, and the pressure from the Diamond Elf King dissipated as the Soul-Stealing Spirit King, who was coughing, spoke, "Diamond, that's enough. Let's first understand the situation."
The Diamond Elf King glanced at him, then turned his attention back to Tang San, "Who dares to cause trouble in my Diamond City, do you realize your crime?"
This was when Tang San spoke. He slightly bowed and said calmly, "Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe, Jin Miaolin, pays respects to the two Emperors."
"Are you the new Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe?" the Diamond Elf King asked coldly.
"Yes." Tang San stood straight, and at this moment, all the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders felt that as long as their Clan Leader was present, even an Emperor could not oppress them.
"Did you also kill our clan's King?" the Diamond Elf King pursued.
Tang San replied, "Indeed, it was I who killed him."
"Do you realize your crime!" the Diamond Elf King bellowed angrily, a powerful wave of divine consciousness surged toward Tang San.
"Let's talk, no need for anger," the Soul-Stealing Spirit King's large cloaks fluttered as he neutralized the divine consciousness released by the Diamond Elf King.
The Diamond Elf King turned his head to look at him and said coldly, "Soul-Stealing, what do you mean?"
The Soul-Stealing Spirit King smiled and said, "I was sent here by the Ancestral Court to resolve the conflict between you two. Let's clarify the details first, no need for violence. You also understand the Ancestral Court's intention for you to transform hostility into peace."
The Diamond Elf King coldly said, "He, as the Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe, came to my Diamond City and killed my clansmen, including those of king-class. How can I endure this?"
The Soul-Stealing Spirit King still smiled and said, "Let him explain the situation. Chief Jin, please describe what happened and why there was violence?"
Tang San nodded slightly and said, "Your Highnesses, about twelve hours ago, I came to Diamond City with the Elders of my tribe to pay a visit. Not long ago, a Messenger was sent to Jianmu City by the Ancestral Court, affirming my tribe leader and city lord status, and asking me to report to the Ancestral Court. I was on my way there and thought to visit the Honorable Diamond Elf King since our territories are neighbors. After entering the city, we were told the Emperor wasn't present. Vice City Lord Jin Chengwu then took us to this hostel—though that's what he called it; we couldn't be sure of its authenticity. Despite knowing our tribe is of the Wood attribute, he led us into this building made entirely of fire attribute minerals, which significantly affected me and my clansmen due to the rich fire elements. Soul-Stealing Highness, as a being of Wood attribute, you would understand that this situation was certainly uncomfortable for us."
The Soul-Stealing Spirit King glanced at the Diamond Elf King and then at Jin Chengwu who stood nearby showing no reaction, and nodded, "That indeed shows lack of courtesy."
The Diamond Elf King's expression turned murderous as he said, "Is that your reason for killing?"
Tang San shook his head and said, "Of course not. We chose to endure. After all, we are outsiders. And as a newly appointed city lord not yet having reported officially at the Ancestral Court, I couldn't complain even if the Diamond Elf Clan didn't treat me with the respect due to a city lord. However, in such a building, some of my clansmen found it difficult to bear, and I then absorbed some fire elements to lessen the impact of the fire elements on them. It was at this moment that the noble Fire Diamond Spirit King became enraged and launched an attack on me. It was he who attacked me first. As a city lord or as a clan leader, according to the rules of the Ancestral Court, being attacked gave me the right to respond. Facing such a formidable King, I had to give my all and unfortunately killed him unintentionally."
