Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

```

For Emperors, controlling the main city is also the greatest economic support and source, and is very important for the entire Race.

Among the Monsters, the only two Emperors who are completely uninterested in this aspect are the Almighty Crystal Monster Emperor, who ranks first, and the current poorest, Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor.

The Crystal Monster Emperor is uninterested because its bloodline is a mutation, without true descendants, and with the Dragon Clan being powerful and already controlling the main city, it has no interest in the main city. The reason all Emperors fear this one is precisely because it has no attachments; if truly provoked, it's not surprising what the strongest creature of the current age might do.

The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor's disinterest is due to the unique nature of the Red-crowned Crane Demon lineage, for Red-crowned Crane Demons all practice swordsmanship, which requires utmost focus, thus, they have no understanding of business operations and prefer a simple life, with material demands frighteningly low. That's why they did not take over the main city.

The Peacock Demon Clan was once extremely powerful, and the main city they occupied back then was not the current Jiali City but an even more affluent and prosperous city. However, after the Peacock Demon King had no successors and passed away, the Peacock Demon Clan's power greatly diminished, making it very difficult to hold onto the main city.

The reason they still own a main city like Jiali City is due to the care of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. The original Heavenly Fox Controls Fortune, Peacock Peeping into the Skies was not said in vain. The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox declared that one significant reason the Peacock Demon King died prematurely was due to peering into the Heavenly Mechanism too much for the sake of the Race, and so, protection of the Peacock Demon Clan's Ancestral Court was necessary. This has allowed the Peacock Demon Clan to remain the masters of the main city. But without a Great Demon King, they had to give up the original affluent main city and have managed in the more remote Jiali City for many years.

However, since the last visit of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, many nobles within Jiali City have realized that the Ancestral Court might ultimately make a move on Jiali City. The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, being a newly risen Emperor, has an obvious desire for the main city, and given the longstanding enmity between the Crystal Phoenix lineage and the Peacock Demon Clan, how could the accomplished Emperor not seize the chance to overpower the Peacock Demon Clan?

The Peacock Demon King is not weak, even repelling the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor last time, but an Emperor is an Emperor, and should there be a comeback, it is very likely that the Peacock Demon Clan will no longer survive. It's still hard to say where the Peacock Demon Clan will go from there.

It must be said that the Peacock Demon Clan has a talent for management. Despite Jiali City's location in a remote corner, being the most secluded main city, it never lacks in wealth, thanks to the efforts of the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Demon and the Golden Deer Demon.

The rumor that the daughter of the Peacock Demon King and a human has won double championships in the Ancestral Court elite competition and may become the next Peacock Demon Emperor has already spread throughout Jiali City. Such a matter is clearly not a mere rumor, and if it is true, then there is hope for the Peacock Demon Clan. The Peacock Demon King has announced that in seven days, on an auspicious day, he will pass on the position of Peacock Demon Clan Chief to Pretty Girl, further confirming the rumor.

Although it is only the position of Peacock Demon Clan Leader for now, without including the City Lord's title, everyone can see that Pretty Girl is the chosen successor of the Peacock Demon King.

The biggest trouble now is the internal struggle within the Peacock Demon Clan. Pretty Girl's main issue is that her bloodline is not purely that of the Peacock Demon Clan; there's also the existence of Human Bloodline. This has been fiercely resisted within the Peacock Demon Clan.

Although the Peacock Demon King is the patriarch, it is not the only individual at the Great Demon King Level within the Peacock Demon Clan. It might be the strongest, but the Peacock Demon Clan has profound heritage, and there's quite a few God Rank Elders. How to get these Elders to approve of Pretty Girl and allow her a smooth transition to Clan Leader is the greatest event currently facing Jiali City. Now that the date has been set, without doubt, it will be a fierce internal struggle for the Peacock Demon Clan.

Other Races outside the Peacock Demon Clan have been quite low-key recently, maintaining the lowest profile. They have received a reminder from the Peacock Demon King, and they adopt an observant stance, waiting to see if Pretty Girl can inherit the Clan Leader's position, which will affect the future direction of Jiali City. The specifics will only become clear on the day of the ceremony.

"How's the adjustment going?" the Peacock Demon King asked Pretty Girl, her face showing concern.

Pretty Girl nodded lightly, "Much better."

The Peacock Demon King looked carefully at his daughter and, to his surprise, found that the intense sorrow that once seemed greater than death had truly disappeared.

```

It had been through it all before, and it understood best that for a woman, the first man to enter her heart was undoubtedly the one who had the greatest impact on her. Moreover, that man had died for her, so one could imagine the depth of her emotion.

Seeing Pretty Girl recover from her sadness so quickly, the Peacock Demon King couldn't help but show a look of admiration. "Truly my daughter, you have the makings of a great leader. The future is promising indeed!"

The corner of Pretty Girl's mouth twitched slightly. The makings of a great leader, huh? I'm not sad anymore because that person never actually died!

The thought of Tang San made her heart involuntarily tighten; she didn't even know how to face him now.

Asura didn't die, but Asura turned into Tang San, who also claimed to be her husband due to connections from a Previous World. How could this not complicate the emotions of a young maiden who had yet to experience the ways of the world?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing the change in her emotions, the Peacock Demon King thought she was getting sentimental again and quickly said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. The date for you to inherit the position of the City Lord has been set, and before that, you must complete your Tribulation to achieve God Rank, which will be an important bargaining chip. In the Demon Race, strength is everything. As long as you can impress them with your strength, then everything else will be no problem. With your talent and the Heavenly Mechanism Feather, as long as you can achieve God Rank, then inheriting the position of the City Lord should be no big issue. Where do you plan to undergo your Tribulation?"

Pretty Girl almost subconsciously blurted out, "At sea."

The Peacock Demon King was taken aback for a moment. "At sea?"

Only then did Pretty Girl realize what she had said, and the words of that guy flashed through her mind—his previous life had been the Sea God.

"Yes, at sea. It will catch all the clansmen by surprise, and with the vast openness of the sea, it won't be easy for them to cause disturbances. By the time they realize I am undergoing my Tribulation at sea, my divine Tribulation might already be over." Find adventures at empire

The Peacock Demon King nodded, "That could work. It definitely wouldn't have been a problem in the past, and I would have agreed. But remember the last time the Crystal Phoenix person came, a projection of the Sea God appeared, which might be an Emperor Level existence from the Endless Blue Ocean. Because of this, the Ancestral Court personally went to investigate in the Endless Blue Ocean, but found nothing. I'm worried that undergoing your Tribulation at sea might attract that entity, which could cause trouble."

Pretty Girl opened and closed her mouth, somewhat at a loss for how to explain to her father. In this moment, she also suddenly understood why Tang San had been interacting with her in the guise of Asura this whole time—many things about him were indeed hard to explain!

"Then I'll give it some more thought," was all Pretty Girl could say to her father.

The Peacock Demon King said, "I will still protect you in Jiali City, but if the commotion is too great, we can head to the Jiali Mountains and find a secluded place for you to undergo your Tribulation. I'll personally guard you."

"Yes," Pretty Girl nodded.

"You go ahead and get yourself in the right state of mind, I'll go reconfirm everything that needs to be prepared. We don't need to rush to decide the exact location for the Tribulation, in case there are prying ears. I'll prepare several options."

"Okay."
