Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 819 - 818: The Delegation Arrives

Tang San nodded and said, "Alright. By the way, you should leave the Heavenly Mechanism Feather with me. My recent research has made some progress, and it’s likely that I’ll need to utilize the power of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather."

Pretty Girl did not hesitate and said, "Okay."

As she spoke, a glint of silver light flashed, and the Heavenly Mechanism Feather with three feather eyes appeared in her hand, and was handed to Tang San.

Tang San reached out to take it, and when the Heavenly Mechanism Feather entered his hand, it seemed to sense something and struggled a bit, wanting to return to Pretty Girl.

Twisted halos descended, and the aura of the Time-Space Tower directly enveloped the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, immediately calming it down.

Tang San looked at Pretty Girl and said solemnly, "This is the Peacock Demon Clan’s tribal artifact, but to predict the mechanism of heaven is to invite backlash. This divine tool has indeed brought benefits to the Peacock Demon Clan in the past, but at the same time, it has been cursing the Peacock Demon Clan, which is why the population of the Peacock Demon Clan is not thriving. Predicting the heavenly mechanism is not something that can be done casually, so I plan to make certain improvements to it, which may result in the destruction of the artifact. I will first work on the concept, and after you return home, discuss this matter with your father and the princess. If they agree, then I will proceed. If they do not, I would still hope to seal this divine tool in the future and cease its use. Otherwise, the Peacock Demon Clan will never be able to escape the backlash that comes from spying into the heavenly mechanism. After all, the temptation of spying into the heavenly mechanism is too great."

"Okay. I will relay the message to my father."

In the following half-month, both Tang San and Pretty Girl were busy. Tang San was cultivating while continuing his research. The Sea Giants hadn’t made any move yet, obviously, fulfilling the bet with Tang San was not an easy task and required more preparation.

On Pretty Girl’s end, preparations began for the reception of the Owner of Sky-breaking City. Jiali City was also bustling with activity.

Seven days after Pretty Girl returned to Jiali City, Xiao He was transported to Crescent Island. He had once promised Tang San that he would help build and govern the humans, and now that he had become a human himself, he naturally kept his word.

After fusing with the princess’s bloodline, Xiao He’s cultivation base advanced rapidly. Tang San had reshaped his body, coupled with his inherent familiarity with the Peacock Transformation. Once the bloodline fusion was complete, his cultivation base directly advanced to the Third Stage. It was as if a new-born human instantly possessed the power of a First level Bloodline Peacock Transformation. Furthermore, his rate of advancement would be very quick.

At the same time, Xiao He also brought a message to Tang San. After discussion with the princess, they agreed to Tang San’s disposal of the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, and they were even willing to gift it to Tang San. However, they also requested that Tang San provide an equivalent divine tool to the Peacock Demon Clan to serve as the tribal artifact. Otherwise, they would find it difficult to explain to their clansmen.

Tang San naturally agreed. For him, crafting divine tools was not a difficult task, especially now that he had taken the position of Sea God, and he could draw upon the abundant resources of the Endless Blue Ocean, making it not too difficult a task.

The Peacock Demon King could not fathom the purpose of the imminent arrival of the ruler of Sky-breaking City, but like Tang San’s guess, it was certainly aimed at Pretty Girl. They would just have to deal with it as it came. With the support of three great Emperors behind them, Jiali City was no longer the rootless duckweed it had been before.

Half a month passed and the delegation from Sky-breaking City finally arrived.

In the broad daylight, from afar, a carriage drawn by flying horses was rapidly approaching.

Leading the way were sixteen flying horses, flying in a herringbone formation, followed by large carriages. Each carriage was pulled by eight flying horses. Because they were not Emperors, they could not use celestial horses. However, this formation was already the highest protocol below an Emperor’s rank, only used by Main City Lords during official travel.

On Jiali City’s side, preparations were already made in the sky. A total of thirty-six members of the Peacock Demon Clan revealed their true forms, soaring mid-air, displaying their peacock fans. Under the sunlight, they exuded magnificent radiance.

Outside the city gates, the streets were paved with clear water and led by a red carpet. Pretty Girl, escorted by a group of Elders of the Peacock Demon Clan, waited outside the city gate.

With the arrival of the City Lord, it was natural for the City Lord to come out to meet them.

The Pegasus chariots in the sky slowly descended outside the city gates under the guidance of the Peacock Demon Clan, ascending from Jiali City. This too was the rule; those who were not Emperors were not permitted to fly directly into another’s main city, as to do so would be a provocation. Only the Emperor was entitled to fly anywhere.

The chariot fleet of the Behemoth Clan clearly had no intention of offending Jiali City’s Peacock Demon Clan. At a distance of one kilometer from the city gates, it slowly landed, with each Pegasus retracting its wings and slowly pulling the carriages forward towards the direction of Jiali City’s gates.

Pretty Girl stood waiting on the red carpet, right in the middle, as the fleet halted about a hundred meters away. From the carriages, towering warriors of the Behemoth Clan stepped out one by one.

These Behemoths were all existences at the Demon King level or above, evident from their stature alone.

Only a Behemoth at the Demon King level was able to contract their form to about three meters tall. Otherwise, an adult Behemoth’s height would start at over ten meters, making it impossible for them to ride in a carriage.

Sixteen Demon Kings and four Great Demon Kings alighted from the carriages and neatly took their places at the front of the formation. From the largest carriage in the center, a figure emerged and, escorted by numerous Demon Kings and Great Demon Kings, approached Pretty Girl.

This figure was tall, but his appearance was more akin to that of a human than a member of the Behemoth Clan. He stood about two meters tall and was clothed in dark golden finery, with short hair standing up like steel needles. His appearance suggested that of a human in his twenties, looking quite young. His physique was a perfect inverted triangle, and although not as burly as the Demon Kings and Great Demon Kings by his side, he seemed to possess a terrifying power rooted deep within his bones.

He was handsome and resolute with piercing eyes, and his stride was as powerful as a dragon’s or a tiger’s. Surrounded by the strongest of the Behemoth Clan, his presence was even more formidable.

On Jiali City’s side, Pretty Girl stood at the foremost central position, with four Great Demon Kings of the Peacock Demon Clan on either side of her, including Princess Luo Qingzhu, the Great Elder. The princess stood shoulder by shoulder with Pretty Girl, slightly behind by half a shoulder-width.

In addition to the four Great Demon Kings, there were also sixteen Demon Kings of the Peacock Demon Clan. Besides them, thirty-two Lion Tiger Tribe warriors stood on both sides as guards.

Each of these Lion Tiger Tribe warriors was over two and a half meters tall with a robust build, exuding a strong aura.

Since obtaining the First Level Bloodline with Tang San’s help, the overall strength of the Lion Tiger Tribe had grown day by day. Though these Lion Tiger Tribe warriors were not at the Demon King level, they were the chosen Ninth Stage powerhouses from within their tribe. With the strength of the First Level Bloodline itself, their presence was formidable.

The Owner of Sky-breaking City took big strides forward, while Pretty Girl gracefully stepped up to meet him; these were the ceremonial rites both sides had agreed upon in advance.

When they were about five meters apart, both parties came to a halt.

City Lord Jin from Sky-breaking City nodded as a gesture of respect to Pretty Girl, "City Lord Mei is as beautiful as her reputation, truly a peerless beauty. Jin Anguo offers his compliments."

Pretty Girl also gave a nod in return, replying with courtesy, "City Lord Jin speaks too highly of me. Please—" she said, stepping aside to make way for City Lord Jin from Sky-breaking City.

Jin Anguo once again nodded in acknowledgement and came to stand beside her, walking shoulder to shoulder with Pretty Girl towards Jiali City.

The entire process was a pre-arranged, necessary ceremonial etiquette, which would conclude smoothly as the two city lords entered Jiali City together.

Both parties then returned to their respective chariots and headed towards the City Lord Manor.

Upon reaching the City Lord Manor, a luncheon banquet to welcome the guests was in order.

Pretty Girl personally hosted a banquet for the powerful warriors of the Behemoth Clan who came from Sky-breaking City.
