Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 755: Tang San Awakens

The White Tiger Demon Emperor said in a deep voice, "Little Mei, from now on, you are officially Lord of Kali City. You heard what Sky-Splitter just said—if you want to become an Emperor in the future, you must distance yourself from humanity. This is only natural: to gain the support and loyalty of demons, you have to see yourself as a demon. How could they see you as one of them otherwise?

"Let me tell you something: the Ancestral Court has long known about the human settlements you set up in Kali City. This is also why the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor was so determined to stop your report. I don't know how you managed it, but the Emperors who weren't supposed to support you chose to do so. Now that you've reached this point, you must think about your long-term future. Whether you become the Peacock Demon Emperor or the new White Tiger Demon Emperor, you can take care of humans, but that is after you become an Emperor. For now, you must be cautious. Do you understand?"

Mei Gongzi knew the White Tiger Demon Emperor was looking out for her and nodded slightly.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor continued, "Now you can tell me. Was that tribulation related to your boyfriend? Where is he now? Celestial Fox mentioned the Hell Garden earlier, and Tang San disappeared from the White Tiger Hotel three days ago. I don't know what he did, but your emotions tell me that everything that happened earlier might have something to do with him."

Mei Gongzi lowered her head slightly and said, "Grandfather, I don't know if it's related to him; I can't be sure. I don't know what he was planning to do, but I know that he passed the Crystal Demon Emperor's test and reached the top of the Crystal Sacred Mountain."

The White Tiger Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes as he was struck by a realization. Before the Crystal Demon Emperor fell, besides facing that terrifying tribulation, she had done one other thing—she had cast a vote in favor of Mei Gongzi.

"Are you saying he made some kind of agreement with the Crystal Demon Emperor?" the White Tiger Demon Emperor asked thoughtfully.

Mei Gongzi replied, "He never told me, but the Crystal Demon Emperor supported me, and I don’t believe it’s just because I am a woman. Now that the Crystal Demon Emperor has fallen, I'm really worried about him. I want to go find him."

"Where do you plan to find him?" the White Tiger Demon Emperor asked sternly.

Mei Gongzi shook her head. "I can't say, but we have a predetermined meeting place, outside the Ancestral Court."

"No," the White Tiger Demon Emperor said firmly. "You can't leave the Ancestral Court right now. Don't think that just because that fox is dealing with his Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain, he won't be watching you. I'm sure he's keeping an eye on you. For a hundred days, you must not leave the Ancestral Court. Whether Tang San is fine or not, you can't leave. If he's alright, won't he use the teleportation array? He'll naturally return to the White Tiger Hotel. If something's wrong, you can do nothing about it now."

"But—"

"But nothing! Your safety is the most important thing right now. You've worked too hard to get to this point; I can't let you make a wrong move. There's nothing more to say—you'll stay here safely. If he returns to the White Tiger Hotel, I'll sense it and let you know immediately."

Seeing her grandfather’s resolute demeanor, Mei Gongzi realized that there was no point in arguing further. But she was truly anxious!

Should I activate the Asura Sword to let him sense me? No, I can't do that. What if he's in a bad situation? If he receives my alert and rushes to find me, he could end up even worse.

"Alright, stay in my study and cultivate. This is where I usually train; the spiritual energy here is the densest, right at the core of the White Tiger Sacred Mountain."

"Yes, Grandfather."

Mei Gongzi took a deep breath.

On the way to the White Tiger Sacred Mountain, she had somewhat calmed down. Now that she thought things through, she realized that the sword intent of her Asura Sword hadn't shown any fluctuations at all.,That meant Tang San was likely safe. If something had gone wrong, he would have used the Asura Sword to warn her. Moreover, she felt a subtle connection with him—if he had truly died in the tribulation, she would have sensed it.

Her grandfather was right: she couldn't let her concern lead to confusion, and she couldn't afford to lose composure.

A huge event had occurred in the Ancestral Court, and the Crystal Demon Emperor's last appearance was connected to her evaluation. Even if the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor hadn't considered this, there was no way that no Emperor thought about it. The fact that the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor required her to stay in the Ancestral Court for a hundred days might well be related to this issue. The best thing for her to do now was to stay here and wait for him.

Once she figured this out, her sense of urgency diminished.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor saw that her complexion was gradually returning to normal and smiled slightly. "To be honest, even I was surprised by how you managed it. When you eventually become an Emperor, your city lord evaluation will surely become a legend in the Ancestral Court. Alright, get some rest. I have some matters to attend to. There will likely be some changes in the Ancestral Court and the two great countries, so I must prepare."

"Yes," Mei Gongzi replied respectfully, bowing to him.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor turned and left. Mei Gongzi walked over to the white leather sofa and curled up on it, and as soon as she relaxed, a wave of intense fatigue swept over her.

This day could be considered the most thrilling and dangerous one of her life so far. She had gone through battles under the scrutiny of many Emperors, faced the events that unfolded in the Hell Garden, endured the terrifying tribulation, and witnessed the fall of the foremost Emperor. It was indeed an experience worthy of history books!

She couldn't reveal all the truth to the White Tiger Demon Emperor, but she knew that everything that happened in the Hell Garden was orchestrated by Tang San. He had used the commotion from his tribulation to help her succeed in her report.

On the other hand, Mei Gongzi truly hadn't been aware that his plan involved the Crystal Demon Emperor.

Now, thinking back on everything that had happened, it all seemed so unbelievable.

How did he manage it? How did he get the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and even the Tenebrous Demon Emperor to approve of me? They should’ve both been strongly opposed! They say the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor controls destiny, but this time, even he was outmaneuvered!

Thinking of this, Mei Gongzi couldn't help but feel a strong urge—a desire to throw herself into his arms.

The sense of security he gave her hadn't faded just because he wasn't by her side. Instead, it felt as if he was always there, surrounding her. This feeling was truly wonderful.

How are you now? When will you come to find me?

After everything was over, Mei Gongzi would return to the teleportation hub near Black Dragon City to meet Tang San. After his tribulation, he would wait for her there while consolidating his cultivation.

It seemed that everything was going according to plan, but for now, Mei Gongzi couldn't leave the Ancestral Court.

As she pondered all that had happened, Mei Gongzi slowly fell into a deep sleep. She was truly exhausted.

***

When Tang San awakened from his meditation, he had no idea how much time had passed in the outside world.

The cracks and light patterns on his body had finally disappeared. The annihilation force from the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Divine Extinguishing Tribulation had finally been worn away and absorbed into his bloodline imprints.

His own blood had turned completely golden, and his energy had finally stabilized. He had reached the peak of the tenth order, one step closer to reclaiming his God King throne.

But the moment he opened his eyes, a strong sense of unease suddenly surged in his heart.
