Chapter 885: Chapter 883 Blood Debt Blood Repayment

“You’re talking nonsense. You also killed all the fire attribute sprites present.” Jin Chengwu couldn’t hold back and finally spoke.

Tang San spoke indifferently, “Collisions between kings always cause some ripples, accidental injuries are hard to avoid. Blame the one who struck first.” Now, as Lord of a City and leader of his clan, as long as justice was on his side, other things didn’t matter much.

The Diamond Elf King’s eyes were cold as he looked at Tang San, who continued, “I repeatedly confirmed with Vice City Lord Jin Chengwu before, whether any of my clansmen were detained in Diamond City. He assured me there weren’t any. However, under the radiant light of the Tree Ancestor, I discovered more than thirty of our clansmen, most of whom had already perished. A third of them were found within the City Lord Manor. I would like to ask the Diamond Elf King, do you know of this matter? I also request the Soul-Stealing Spirit King to bear witness.”

The arrival of the two emperors could intimidate the Blue Gold Tree Clan’s elders, but for Tang San, who was once a Godking, this was nothing; he had seen grander scenes and his aura was no less than that of the Diamond Elf King.

“Hmph!” The Diamond Elf King snorted in anger, but provided no explanation, as the facts were laid out and left him unable to defend himself.

At this moment, the Soul-Stealing Spirit King stepped forward between the two parties, smiling at Tang San, “Chief Jin, we can understand your feelings. The Ancestral Court deeply mourns and sympathizes with this tragedy. However, since the event has already occurred, we must find a solution. Both the Diamond Elf Clan and the Blue Gold Tree Clan are important parts of the Rihchen Empire and members of the Ancestral Court. Jianmu City and Diamond City are neighbors. Indeed, Diamond City was wrong first, and the Ancestral Court has convened an emergency meeting for this. You may present your demands, and we will help communicate with the Diamond Elf King to find a mutually acceptable agreement to compensate the Blue Gold Tree Clan. How does that sound?”

Upon hearing the words of the Soul-Stealing Spirit King, the Blue Gold Tree Clan’s elders couldn’t help but relax. They had been truly intimidated by the Diamond Elf King’s powerful deterrence, their hearts nearly leaping to their throats. Any race naturally fears a sovereign, the supreme beings! However, Tang San stood firm under pressure, justified and contentious, trapping the Diamond Elf King into an inaction. Now, the Soul-Stealing Spirit King intervened to mediate, providing both sides a step down, and clearly to the advantage of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, which naturally made them feel much relieved.

This time, killing a sovereign of the Diamond Elf Clan and causing Diamond City’s reputation to plummet, as numerous mineral sprites left, had already resulted in heavy losses for Diamond City. If substantial compensation could be offered, it would be a truly satisfying victory for the Blue Gold Tree Clan.

However, the next moment, they were startled to see Tang San shaking his head.

Indeed, Tang San shook his head to the Soul-Stealing Spirit King and said, “Your Excellency, thank you for your mediation, but what I want to say is, life is priceless. We, the Blue Gold Tree Clan, are a race that reveres life. The Tree Ancestor has brought the light of life to Demon Monster Land, allowing many plant-class races to thrive. Yet now, there’s a race using the bodies of our clansmen for cultivation, to enhance themselves. How could such wrongdoing be compensated with mere reparations?”

At these words, even the Soul-Stealing Spirit King was taken aback. The Ancestral Court and the Rihchen Empire had decided to send him along with the Diamond Elf King, showing a slight favor towards the Blue Gold Tree Clan. However, after all, the Blue Gold Tree Clan had no sovereign being. If not for the revival of the Tree Ancestor, it’s unlikely the Ancestral Court would have sent him. What could the Blue Gold Tree Clan do to the Diamond Elf Clan? Surely they didn’t intend to start a war? That would be self-destruction.

So, he had truly not expected Tang San’s stance to be this firm.

“What do you suggest, then?” asked the Diamond Elf King in a chilling voice.

Tang San turned his head towards them and said in a deep voice, “A blood debt must be paid in blood. The blood of our clansmen shall not flow in vain. We’ll talk about compensation later. For now, I challenge you, representing the Blue Golden Tree Clan, to a fight to the death.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell silent instantly. All the powerhouses, even including beings like the Soul-Stealing Spirit King, were staring at Tang San with their mouths agape.

Has he gone mad? Is this madness?

The Blue Golden Tree Clan Elders, who had just calmed their hearts, felt their hearts leap to their throats again. What is the patriarch thinking? He, he’s actually challenging an Emperor, a famously indestructible Emperor at that!

How is this possible? How could this be possible!

Even the Soul-Stealing Spirit King thought he had heard wrong, suspecting there was a problem with his ears. The Diamond Elf King also showed a face full of astonishment.

No terms discussed? Directly challenging? And challenging an Emperor at that? Where does he get the courage? This isn’t Jianmu City, where although the Tree Ancestor has some strength that can be borrowed, its main body is not here. Besides, though the Tree Ancestor is awake, it isn’t truly revived. Its main body can’t come here. He, a Great Spirit King not adept at fighting, is actually challenging an Emperor. Isn’t this like a fool’s dream?

But no matter what these powerful beings thought, Tang San had already spoken. And with a calm gaze, he watched the Diamond Elf King, showing the firm resolve inside him. This was clearly not a decision made on the spur of the moment.

Jin Miaosen, no longer caring about the pressure from the two great Emperors, rushed to Tang San’s side in a few quick steps, grabbing his arm, and said anxiously, “Brother, have you gone mad? How, how can you challenge an Emperor?”

Tang San spoke in a deep tone, “The blood of our clansmen shall not flow in vain. Our Blue Golden Tree Clan has been oppressed for so many years, is it really because we are not adept at fighting? How many of our clan exist above the level of Kings, at least more than double that of the Diamond Elf Clan. Yet, despite such circumstances, we never dare to resist. Why is that? What makes our clansmen so cowardly? It is because we have lost our courage. A race without courage, no matter how rich its resources, will eventually head towards extinction. Today, even if it means death, I will use my blood to awaken the fervor of our clan. I want all the weaker races to see that even when facing an Emperor, one must dare to challenge. I am the patriarch of the Blue Golden Tree Clan; if even I don’t have the courage to protect the safety of our clansmen, then who will? Before coming here, I had already decided that if I found any of our clansmen being captured or imprisoned by the Diamond Elf Clan here, I would fight them to the death no matter the cost. Today, as Your Highness, the Soul-Stealing Spirit King, is present, please be a witness for us. If I die, please convey to the Ancestral Court that the Blue Golden Tree Clan, in the face of the life and death of its clansmen, will never show cowardice. Without a Jin Miaolin, there will be even more Jin Miaolins to fight for the Blue Golden Tree Clan. Anyone who captures our clansmen will face the relentless revenge of the Blue Golden Tree Clan until death.”

Tang San’s words were decisive and hit the nail on the head. The originally restless Blue Golden Tree Clan Elders gradually had tears reddening their eyes.

Tang San pinpointed the core issue of the Blue Golden Tree Clan. Even though they are strong in life rank, the Blue Golden Tree Clan has never dared to resist and has ultimately become a race that any other can bully, not even daring to leave the inner city.

At this moment, hearing Tang San’s firm resolve, the blood in these Elders seemed to boil.

Jin Miaosen let go of Tang San’s hand, his body trembling, and tears uncontrollably flowed out, “Brother, you are right, we have been too cowardly. Our blood, should boil. I, Jin Miaosen, swear that if today my elder brother falls in battle, I will also fight for the Blue Golden Tree Clan at all costs, until death.”
