Chapter 873: Chapter 871: Leading the Team to Depart

Tang San’s illusory figure floated in front of her and raised his hand to rub her head. Although it was an illusory light and shadow, Pretty Girl was surprised to find that she could actually feel his touch.

“Fool, how could I not care about you? Rest assured, I will definitely come during the martial arts competition to find a spouse. No one can take my wife away. However, to avoid suspicion from the emperors, I cannot tell you yet what identity I’ll be using. You’ll know when the time comes. You just need to believe that I will always be by your side.”

“That’s more like it.” Pretty Girl hummed, but she took a step forward and merged into his embrace.

“I’m at a loss.” Tang San said with a bitter smile.

“How are you at a loss?” Pretty Girl asked curiously.

“You can feel touch, but I cannot. I only have the contact of divine consciousness,” Tang San said helplessly.

“Divine consciousness is even deeper than the spirit. Isn’t this contact enough? Be content. It’s your own fault for not coming back in your true form.”

The two of them cuddled this way, and for Pretty Girl, this was a rare moment of relaxation during her tense cultivation process, her pretty face showing a faint smile of contentment.

Tang San then inquired about the situation in Jianmu City, making sure that Jiali City and Jianmu City were currently without issues, which put his mind at ease.

During this period, he also believed that Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox did not have the time to trouble Jiali City. With the awakening of the Tree Ancestor, bringing massive life force and luck to the Demon Monster Land, there was no better time for the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox to cultivate. Besides him, other Demon Emperors really did not matter in Tang San’s view. Of the eight Great Demon Emperors, four were basically on Pretty Girl’s side now; what was there to fear?

Next, it would be up to him to create some chaos among the Spirit Monster race. After this turmoil, it would be time for him and Pretty Girl to face their biggest challenge, breaking through to become emperors themselves. Then, no emperor on this plane could obstruct them any longer.

After spending some tender time with Pretty Girl, Tang San then transitioned back to Jianmu City’s inner city using the time-space marker.

Everything was as usual; even his true body continued cultivating and absorbing and transforming the rich life force in his absence.

Tang San was no longer just elevating his cultivation base, which was easy, but nurturing the essence itself was the hardest yet most crucial task. With the illumination from Tree Ancestor, there was no better time for this. Essentially, he was nurturing his own essence with the life source of the entire Falan Planet, accumulating profoundly before making the final push.

For the next month, Tang San stayed in the inner city of Jianmu City, leading the Blue Golden Tree Clan elders in comprehending the changes brought by the Tree Ancestor Brand, giving these high-ranking clansmen a feeling of complete transformation.

The awakening of the Tree Ancestor had a massive impact on the entire Demon Monster Land. The Ancestral Court officially announced the fact of Tree Ancestor’s awakening and declared that Jin Miaolin would temporarily take the role of Jianmu City Lord; after reporting back to the Ancestral Court, he would officially become the true ruler of Jianmu City.

At the same time, the Ancestral Court also issued a notice at the request of “Jin Miaolin” to all races across the continent. If any were imprisoning or exploiting members of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, such actions should cease immediately and everything related to the Blue Golden Tree Clan should be returned. Otherwise, the Blue Golden Tree Clan had the right to handle it.

This notice was somewhat ambiguous, not worded very strictly, but for Tang San, it was sufficient. The notice gave him a legitimate stance.

Moreover, just as he had expected, until the end of the month-long retreat with the elders, no members or remains of the Blue Golden Tree Clan were sent back. It was as if the other tribes were completely unaware of this matter, just like they were unaware of the notice from the Ancestral Court.

And all of this was within Tang San’s expectations.

If you’re not sending them back, then fine, I’ll retrieve them myself.

As the Jianmu City Lord and Clan Leader of Blue Gold Tree Tribe, Tang San ordered the Great Elder to stay in Jianmu City while he himself led twelve elders of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe, including two at the Great Demon King Level, to leave for the East.

Among these twelve elders was his “younger sister” Jin Miaosen.

Tang San had considered this arrangement carefully. One reason was Jin Miaosen’s strong request to go with him. Another reason was considering that the Ancestral Court had just announced Jin Miaolin to be the Lord of Jianmu City and Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe, so what if the real Jin Miaolin hadn’t died and came back?

This was a problem Tang San had to consider. It was also the only flaw in his current role.

This time, leading the elders to the major cities was partly to perform his duties and gather momentum, and also to retrieve fellow clan members of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe while attempting to find the real Jin Miaolin and see if he could be located. Once the issue of the real Tree Ancestor’s heritage was resolved, his identity would be secure without any further problems.

Taking Jin Miaosen with him would make confirming Jin Miaolin’s identity easier; moreover, if that Jin Miaolin returned to the Blue Gold Tree Tribe on his own, no one would believe his identity if Jin Miaosen was not present. The Great Elder had been convinced by Tang San, and if someone claimed to be Jin Miaolin, they wouldn’t likely get a chance to seek recognition from the Tree Ancestor and would be detained by the Great Elder instead. This was why Tang San wanted to bring Jin Miaosen along.

He was not worried about encountering Jin Miaolin on the road. With the strength of his Blue Gold Tree Tribe Bloodline Brand, once something was discovered, his divine consciousness and Life Aura would definitely detect it faster than Jin Miaosen. Naturally, there would be time to deal with everything.

The Great Elder, along with all the other elders of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe, escorted Tang San’s group to the gates of Jianmu City before stopping.

Originally, the Great Elder wanted Tang San to take more elders with him, and even wanted to go himself, since Jianmu City was now protected by the awakened Tree Ancestor and did not need to worry about safety.

However, Tang San told him that this trip was not to attack other races but to retrieve their clan members; a large-scale movement of all clan elites would be problematic in principle. Therefore, it was better to go on their own.

Thus, the Great Elder did not insist anymore. These Blue Gold Tree Clan elders now followed Tang San’s orders without question.

“Alright, esteemed elders, please return. After I report to the Ancestral Court, I will naturally return,” Tang San nodded slightly to the elders as a farewell.

“Farewell, Clan Leader, and wishing you success in your endeavors,” the Blue Gold Tree Tribe elders bowed respectfully towards Tang San at the same time.

Successful endeavor, thought Tang San with a fleeting smile, but still nodded at them. His figure flashed, rising into the air, leading the elders towards the East.

Their first stop was naturally Diamond City, another main city of the Rihchen Empire and the closest to Jianmu City. Not long ago, the Diamond Elf King had just come to “visit.” Not returning a visit was impolite, which was Tang San’s first target for this trip.

Jin Miaosen followed beside Tang San, looking around excitedly as they flew.

It had been a long time since it had left Jianmu City. For other races, members of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe were naturally treasures, and those of King level were even more so prized treasures. If a Spirit King or Demon King from another race devoured and utilized a King level member of the Blue Gold Tree Tribe, it was almost certain that they could become a Great Demon King or a Great Spirit King. This was also why the Blue Gold Tree Tribe was hardly ever daring to leave Jianmu City–because their own attractiveness was indeed too great.
