Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"Enough!" A cold voice echoed at that moment. Pretty Girl's face changed slightly as she felt an overwhelming pressure descending from the sky as if the entire horizon had collapsed in an instant, bearing down on her.

It was also at this time that two figures nearly simultaneously appeared beside her.

The Peacock Demon King stretched his wings behind him to shield his daughter, his divine consciousness erupting with full force, rising crazily, colliding without hesitation with the opposing force.

And beside Pretty Girl, there was now a bald man wearing a mask, whose consciousness merged instantly with Pretty Girl's, significantly reinforcing her aura.

Pretty Girl looked at the person beside her with surprise. Tang San, wearing a mask, had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth as he nodded to her.

Yes, he had arrived.

When Pretty Girl had left, he had actually already awakened. Today was her stage, and he was just quietly watching, protecting her. He only appeared by her side when a real formidable enemy arrived, ready to face it with her.

However, Pretty Girl's surprise only lasted for an instant before her mood sank again. Precisely because she had become a God Rank, she could feel how mighty the overwhelming pressure was, and that familiar aura told her who had arrived. This person, he had finally come, and he was here during the succession ceremony.

When Ice Phoenix Hu Mengyu appeared, Pretty Girl had already guessed it, but when the opponent actually arrived, it still brought her immense psychological pressure.

With a flick of her toes, the Spatial Cage beneath her feet shot out, flying a hundred meters away before the power of space instantly dispersed, releasing the disheveled Hu Mengyu.

In the distant sky, several figures were rapidly approaching, among them a huge, crystal-clear figure radiating a dazzling brilliance under the morning sun, like an extra sun in the sky.

Around it were figures also in flight, each emitting dazzling light and powerful auras.

At this moment, the Peacock Demon Clan had also reacted, with all the beings beyond deity level, even the princess who had just been confronting the Peacock Demon King, now leaping into the air, releasing their bloodline auras to protect the Peacock Demon King, whose face was already turning somewhat pale from enduring the enemy's strongest Consciousness Shock.

"Tweet—" A resounding phoenix cry echoed through heaven and earth, shaking the entire world.

A blinding light flickered in the sky, followed by a dozen phoenix cries in unison.

Naturally, no one else would show up at this time and directly confront the Peacock Demon Clan's succession ceremony—it was the royal presence, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor!

The incredible pressure made the entire mountain seem to tremble. The expressions of all the Peacock Demon Clan powerhouses turned extremely grave.

Last time, when the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had come, the Peacock Demon King was in his prime and barely managed to hold off the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor with the Peacock Demon Clan's many years of foundation in Jiali City.

And this time? The old wounds of the Peacock Demon King were far from healed. What strength did it have left to resist now? Despite the Peacock Demon Clan having several Great Demon Kings and over ten Demon Kings, appearing to have a lineup no weaker than that of their opponents, the strength of an emperor cannot be measured by just Great Demon Kings and Demon King levels.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's voice came from afar, "Originally, it was to be missed. But I heard that your ritual was delayed by five days, so I decided to join in the fun. Wang Qing, you should know, if you hadn't exposed your daughter at the Ancestral Court, I might have waited a little longer, waiting for an even more opportune time to come. However, you brought her to the Ancestral Court and she even defeated many geniuses, ultimately claiming two championships. At that moment, you should have understood what you were going to face. Last time, you were able to entangle me by borrowing the power of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, but this time, I want to see what kind of power you still have to stop me."

The Peacock Demon King just watched him with a cold gaze, without rushing to speak. The powerful figures from the Phoenix Clan had already come close, and this time, no other races' vassals were present—only the Phoenix Clan itself had come.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's feminine and handsome face wore coldness and superiority as his gaze swept over the strong members of the Peacock Demon Clan, "The phoenix is the true King of birds. I allow you to submit to me, everyone except for Wang Qing and his daughter. As long as you are willing to submit, you will still be part of Jiali City, still be the citizens of Jiali City, and the Peacock Demon Clan will continue to exist."

"You're talking nonsense! When our ancestor was still around, your Phoenix Demon Clan was nowhere to be seen. Back then, the world only knew 'Heavenly Fox Controls Fortune, Peacock Peeping into the Skies'. What about your Phoenix Clan then?" the princess's angry voice rose. Despite her utmost dissatisfaction with the Peacock Demon King's leadership in the heritage of their race, when faced with a powerful enemy, she chose to stand by her husband's side.

The Peacock Demon King turned to look at his wife, and despite the immense pressure from the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, a smile actually appeared on his face. He reached out and took hold of his wife's hand, "Look at you, still so impulsive, still so unyielding."

The princess struggled, but was unable to free her hand from his grasp, and could only turn away, saying coldly, "This is a mortal enemy. How could one bend to them?"

All of the Demon King Level strong members of the Peacock Demon Clan, at this moment, were not swayed by the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's words, their faces filled with anger.

To submit to their nemesis was no different from death.

Wang Han was right beside the princess at this time, letting out a soft sigh, "Princess, the King is right. Our true hope, I fear, lies in Little Beauty. Without an Emperor, our greatest flaw remains. Patriarch, let us old bones hold them back. You take the Young patriarch and go. We can buy you some time; as long as the Young patriarch survives, our clan has a future, a chance to rise again someday."

The Peacock Demon King did not directly respond, but turned to look at his wife and asked, "What do you say?"

"Get lost, all of you, leave far away with all the young clansmen. We will stay behind; I never want to see you, this bastard, again—I'll pretend I was blind all my life," the princess said bitterly, shaking off the hand of the Peacock Demon King.

In an instant, all the Demon King Level members of the Peacock Demon Clan shone with silver light, and the space elements in the air violently fluctuated. Even the Ancestral Castle of the Peacock Demon Tribe behind them emitted a faint silver glow at this moment.

These Demon King Level powerhouses had already resolved to die.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's arrival with only the members of the Phoenix Demon Clan, without any other race's vassals, meant that this visit was different from the last one.

Last time, there was a specific target and the existence of the Ancestral Court's greater good; perhaps the Peacock Demon King could be troubled, but in the full view of the public, it was not really possible to do anything to the Peacock Demon Clan, and more manipulation would be needed to gain the position of Jiali City Lord.

But this time, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had clearly made up his mind, bringing only the strong amongst the Phoenix Tribe, clearly aiming to eradicate the Peacock Demon Clan, a murderous resolve apparent.

The strong members of the Peacock Demon Clan were intelligent, and from the words of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor just now, they had already understood why he would choose to do so when the time was not yet fully ripe. There was only one reason: he felt threatened.

Of course, this threat did not come from the waning Peacock Demon King, but from Pretty Girl, who had won the double championship at the Ancestral Court's elite competition. Thus, his arrival also proved to all the strong members of the Peacock Demon Clan the astonishing imperial talent of Pretty Girl. Among all the younger generation with the Emperor's Posture, she was likely among the very best.
