Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The Golden Deer Demon King said coldly, "We are all leaders of our clans, and the investigation of the incident by the Great Demon Emperor has nothing to do with us. Who are you, and what right do you have to detain us?"

The young man from the Heavenly Fox Clan smiled faintly and said, "Who I am is not important; what matters is that I carry the decree of the Great Demon Emperor. Those who disagree may try to leave. The consequences will become clear when the time comes for retribution."

The eyes of the Golden Deer Demon King flashed coldly, but he indeed did not dare to act. The oppressive power of the Great Demon Emperor was too strong within the Monsters, as it represented an entity standing at the peak of their race, an existence they could not possibly contend with.

The implication of future retribution was clear.

Jiali City was without an emperor, and while the Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor was a new emperor, he lacked a city. More importantly, the Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor, being of a mutated bloodline, had no direct descendants, and as such, many powerful beings rallied to him upon his ascension. A newly appointed Great Demon Emperor was undoubtedly the most worthy of allegiance. Also, since he did not have many of his own clan to favor, joining him meant a significant chance of being put to important use.

The leaders of the various clans present were no fools; they naturally understood the real reason why the Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor had come to Jiali City. The investigation of the Ice Dragon Demon King incident was just a pretext—the more important goal was to overpower Jiali City in order to seize control of the city.

The Red Fox Demon King sat there as if nothing had happened, bowing her head and remaining silent. Even the clan leaders who had previously expressed support for the Peacock Demon King during the meeting did not know what to do and could only maintain their silence.

The young man they faced was clearly not at a divine-ranked level, but he could act as the second-in-command among the strong beings brought by the Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor because he was a descendant of the Heavenly Fox Clan. The Heavenly Fox Clan was also revered as the prophets of the Fairy World, with the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox known as the great sage, the great prophet, controlling the luck of the entire Fairy World. Any member of the Heavenly Fox Clan was respected.

The Heavenly Fox Clan was small in number, and any member who visited another race was an honored guest. However, being proud by nature, they would only follow those beings with extremely strong luck. As such, the only way to truly have the Heavenly Fox Clan come to you was to become a Great Demon Emperor. Each Great Demon Emperor would have a member from the Heavenly Fox Clan sent to follow and assist them.

The Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor\'s Heavenly Fox young follower had not yet reached the divine-ranked level, but even so, nobody dared to underestimate him.

The young man from the Heavenly Fox Clan turned to his accompanying powerhouses and said indifferently, "Please, Qi Yu and Ding Hao, the two guest elders, bring with you your subordinates to fetch the direct bloodline members of the Peacock Demon Clan to this place."

The two middle-aged beings stood up. They both had the appearance of humans, with the only difference being their hair color. Qi Yu\'s hair was crimson red, while Ding Hao\'s was aqua blue, both very eye-catching.

They had been following the Crystal Phoenix Great Demon Emperor all along without emitting any bloodline fluctuations. But as they stood up, and as the high-ranking officials of Jiali City changed color at the young man\'s words, a terrifying bloodline pressure suddenly burst forth from them.

"Real Phoenix Bloodline!" the Golden Capricorn King gasped, his complexion turning unsightly.

Yes, indeed, the guests both radiated with the oscillation of the Phoenix Bloodline. That formidable pressure, inherent in their bloodlines, made all the senior members of Jiali City too afraid to even twitch.

Great Demon Kings, these were two Great Demon Kings. In terms of individual strength, in terms of bloodlines, they should both be comparable to the Peacock Great Monster King. These were True Phoenix Great Monster Kings! Among Great Demon Kings, they were at the pinnacle.

This visit from the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was clearly premeditated, and bringing along two Great Demon Kings, the coercive purpose could well be imagined.

The originally prepared-to-shout senior members of Jiali City all had pale faces; what kind of voices could they possibly raise in the presence of two True Phoenix Great Demon Kings?

Moreover, those who followed the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor were not just limited to these two; among those dozen or so powerhouses, apart from the two Great Demon Kings, the remaining ones were at least at the Demon King Level of cultivation base. They were all divine-ranked and above.

The two True Phoenix Great Demon Kings had their bloodline aura surging fiercely. The surging bloodline aura spread around in an instant. The next moment, behind the City Lord Manor, two powerful auras burst forth as well, staunchly opposing the aura of the two True Phoenix Great Demon Kings.

Two streaks of silver light flashed almost instantly, as the figures of two elders materialized. One male, one female, their faces appeared young, but their silver hair and the vicissitudes in their eyes betrayed their true age.

"Long time no see, Wang siblings," Ding Hao Great Demon King said with a smile.

The two men from the Peacock Demon Race said dispassionately, "You\'ve actually sided with Lin Ximo."

Qi Yu said, "A good bird chooses a tree to nest in. His Excellency has become the Great Demon Emperor, and he is of our own race, naturally the most worthy of allegiance. If you wish, we could make an introduction for you. Wang Han, Wang Yu, do you really want to blindly follow him down the dark path?"

That woman, Wang Yu, who exuded the aura of a Great Demon King, said coldly, "Are you unaware of our clan\'s blood feud with the Crystal Phoenix Heritage? What\'s the point of such sarcastic words? This place belongs to the Peacock Demon Clan, and we won\'t tolerate your wild behaviour here. If you want to start something, just bring it on."

Ding Hao Great Demon King said indifferently, "We are here by the Ancestral Court\'s decree, to accompany His Excellency the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King\'s blood essence and the whereabouts of the Ice Dragon Demon King\'s bloodline. The Dragon Emperor is extremely angry about the disappearance of the Ice Dragon Demon King. This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and anyone who dares to obstruct justice shall be killed without mercy. We suspect that this incident is related to your Peacock Demon Clan, so bring forth all your clansmen for interrogation. To disobey is to defy the decree of the Ancestral Court."

"Nonsense! What does the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King\'s blood essence have to do with our clan? We also have no idea where the Ice Dragon Demon King is. You\'re clearly trying to frame us for a crime we have not committed," Wang Yu Great Demon King said, her aura surging as the space around her twisted violently.

Ding Hao and Qi Yu, both Great Demon Kings, appeared completely undaunted. And at that moment, a layer of misty white brilliance spread out. Under the cover of that white light, even as a Great Demon King, the space power that Wang Yu released became eerily chaotic.

"Heavenly Fox Transformation?" Wang Han and Wang Yu\'s expressions changed simultaneously.

In terms of cultivation base, as veteran Great Demon Kings, they did not fear Ding Hao and Qi Yu, even if the latter were of the Real Phoenix Bloodline. If it really came down to a fight, it would still be hard to say who would win or lose. But the moment the Heavenly Fox Transformation appeared, their hearts sank.
