Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Both powerhouses were bewildered, but the genuine fiery battle that had erupted was gradually being replaced by rationality, especially in the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor.

He had given up the woman he cherished most and went through endless hardships to advance to the Demon Emperor Level. If he continued to fight, risking everything to challenge the foundation of the Peacock Demon Clan, the loss would outweigh the gains. Moreover, the injuries sustained by the Peacock Demon King were far worse than his own; set aside whether it would die afterwards, at the very least, it wouldn\'t dream of achieving the Demon Emperor Level in this lifetime. As for him, time was on his side. Once his cultivation base stabilized, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with his adversary.

The myriad of crystal colors receded, and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor morphed back into a human-like form. His features, cold and handsome even to the point of effeminacy, his gaze fixed on the Peacock Demon King, a sneer playing on his lips, "This ends today, but I will return. Your collusion with the Sea Clan, I will report to the Ancestral Court. Wait for your explanation."

The Peacock Demon King didn\'t say much. The silver light that enveloped Jiali City quickly faded away, and it too reverted to human form, disappearing in a flash of silver light.

"Leave!" the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor commanded coldly.

Inside Jiali City, the Flying Vehicle ascended into the sky, taking the entire convoy with it, flying high and away with the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor."

"I will return!" The voice of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor echoed throughout Jiali City. It also hovered repeatedly around the Pretty Girl Milk Tea Shop at Jiali Plaza.

Inside Jiali City, only at this moment did constrained breathing sounds arise. Who knows how many beings had just come to their senses, filled with an innate shudder within their hearts from the close brush with death.

Within the City Lord Manor, silence reigned at this moment.

Neither the Peacock Demon Clan nor the several races of Jiali were cheering. All present Peacock Demons were pale-faced. During the previous showdown against the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, the Peacock Demon King had tapped into the luck of the Peacock Tribe, which affected the entire race.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor hadn\'t fled defeated; he had left due to a variety of reasons. Whether he was scared off or unwilling to suffer mutual destruction was up for debate. When he returned, who could withstand him?

The luck of their ancestors had been burned; no one knew the severity of the Peacock Demon King\'s injuries.

And when the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor came again? Who could withstand him?

The Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King took a deep breath and said, "Let\'s end today\'s events here. We should quickly attend to the citizens\' sentiments, repair the structures, and assess the situation within the city. The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor\'s sudden attack on Jiali City, disregarding the Ancestral Court\'s rules and threatening the safety of all beings in the city, we must report this to the Ancestral Court."

The various Demon Kings nodded in agreement. Although it was just a formality, Jiali City was one of the main cities nonetheless, carrying the luck of the Monster race. If it had been breached before, countless beings would have died, something the Ancestral Court would never allow. However, since such a catastrophe did not occur, and given that a Demon Emperor was involved, at most he would face a light punishment. But actions had to be taken; at the very least, they could prevent the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor from daring to come again in the short term, providing Jiali City a chance to breathe.

Wang Han and Wang Yu, two of the Peacock Tribe\'s Great Demon Kings, exchanged glances. With a flash of silver light, they both left. They had to ascertain the Peacock Demon King\'s condition as swiftly as possible. Though they were also Great Demon Kings, the real pillar was still the Peacock Demon King!

Jiali City, Jiali Plaza.

There were no customers at the Pretty Girl Milk Tea Shop; in fact, all the shops had no customers at this time.

The apocalyptic scene had frightened everyone; who would dare to be outside at such a time?

Su Qin stared blankly at the sky, the clarity of which could not clear away the gloom within her heart.

He had come back; he said he would return again, and it seemed it was said for her to hear.

He had finally achieved the status of a Great Demon Emperor. The inevitable clash had occurred. Both sides suffered.

At this very moment, she didn\'t know how she should feel. As a human, perhaps she should be glad. But deep inside her heart, was there even a trace of excitement?

She couldn\'t help but recall that night, a night forever engraved in her memory. He had left, and it had come.

Jiali Mountain Range.

When Pretty Girl slowly awoke, she found herself lying in a hammock.

Both ends of the hammock were connected to two large trees.

The hammock itself was made of bamboo, the thick bamboo split from one side, then divided into strips that weren\'t completely severed, connected at both ends; the center was split open, allowing it to spread out from the middle. Wide leaves were laid on top, making it stable and comfortable to lie on and protecting from the damp ground.

A piece of clothing also covered her, and the fresh air mixed with the mountain\'s distinctive moisture lingered at the tip of her nose.

There was no discomfort in her body, instead, she felt more spirited and invigorated.

"You\'re awake," a familiar voice said.

Pretty Girl sat up, turning over. She saw the man wearing the mask.

He had built a campfire, and though it was deep into the night, the campfire kept away mosquitoes and dampness, bringing warmth.

Pretty Girl looked around and saw no other figures. Everything seemed very normal.

"Where is the Dark Crow Monster King?" she asked.

Asura smiled and said, "Gone. After you fainted, I wanted to take you and flee. It pursued us relentlessly. Just when I was about to be overwhelmed, the battle at Jiali City ended."

"How did it go?" Pretty Girl asked nervously.

Asura replied, "It\'s a situation where both parties suffered losses. The Peacock Demon King\'s injuries are more serious, striking at the root, not very optimistic. But the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor is also not lightly wounded and will probably need a long period of recuperation. At least for the time being, Jiali City is relatively stable."

Pretty Girl let out a breath, her eyes swirling with complex emotions as she looked at Asura and said, "Thank you for saving me again."

Asura smiled faintly and said, "Just good luck."

"How do you always happen to be by my side to save me? How did you know I was taken by the Dark Crow Monster King?" Pretty Girl suddenly asked. This question had lingered in her heart for a very long time.

Asura responded, "You will know in the future, but I cannot tell you right now."

Pretty Girl frowned slightly and jumped down from the hammock, "You\'re very mysterious. I don\'t like this elusive way you have."

Asura said, "This is to protect myself." And to protect you, he of course did not say aloud.

Pretty Girl fell silent, staring blankly at the campfire, spellbound. After quite a while, she finally said in a heavy voice, "I must go back now, since the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor has retreated, they will certainly come to find me."

"Alright, I will escort you." Asura did not hold her back. He casually extinguished the campfire in front of him.

He escorted her to the vicinity of Jiali Academy before stopping.

"Go ahead, the academy should be very safe," Asura said softly.

"Okay." Pretty Girl gave him a glance filled with complex emotions before her figure flickered, heading toward Jiali Academy.
