Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 564: Father-in-laws Invitation

Chapter 564: Father-in-law’s Invitation

When did the Peacock Demon clan’s vaults get so deep? Meng Dede had been nurtured with immense care and a mountain of resources not just by his clan, but by the entire dragon race. No matter what, the foundation of the Peacock Demon clan couldn’t compare to that of the dragon race!

The beams of blood-red light were both incredibly clear: one filled with hatred and negativity, the other with vast majesty and a killing intent carrying a righteous aura that cleansed the demonic energy, clearing the heavens and earth. This was not something an ordinary divine item could achieve. Even the Emperors in the VIP boxes were astonished.

As he carried Mei Gongzi down from the arena, Tang San’s face regained a bit of color. He looked down at the person in his arms. She was just exhausted in terms of spiritual power and bloodline power, nothing serious. A bit of rest and she would be all good.

What was that red light? Nobody else knew but him. It originally belonged to Mei Gongzi… and also to him.

In Tang San’s previous life, he held the seat of Sea God that came with a powerful divine artifact, the Sea God’s Trident. After years of nurturing, the Sea God’s Trident further evolved into a transcendent divine artifact, the peak of power among items.

Besides the Sea God’s Trident, Tang San actually had another divine artifact, which was also the mark of a powerful divine seat. Before he even became a God King as the Sea God, the previous holder of this divine position had already become a God King and possibly the strongest God King in terms of individual combat prowess: the Asura God.

The Asura God possessed a divine sword that governed the laws of the God Realm, and he had the right and duty to bestow judgment upon anyone in the God Realm. The powerful Asura God later intended to give his divine seat and the Asura Sword to Tang San, but the Sea God had been first to make contact, and Tang San didn’t have the ability to hold two divine seats simultaneously. Ultimately, the Asura God’s seat was passed onto Xiao Wu on behalf of Tang San, allowing him to borrow the Asura God’s power when necessary.

As his divine consciousness gradually recovered, Tang San’s overall abilities were also restored. Besides the Mysterious Circles of Heaven, he could also utilize some of his other past life abilities.

Mei Gongzi had lost all memories of her past life after reincarnation, but her bond with the transcendent divine artifact remained and a connection could be reestablished through Tang San’s divine consciousness. Tang San made use of this her past connection, borrowing a sliver of the Asura Sword’s power to defeat Meng Dede.

In his past life, before Xiao Wu’s fall, Tang San tried everything to save his wife’s life but ultimately failed. Helpless, he used all means to ensure his wife would successfully reincarnate and her spirit would not dissipate. Finally, he left a trace of the Asura Sword’s divine intent in Xiao Wu’s true spirit.

A spirit could not contain a divine artifact per se, but this trace of aura actually protected her true spirit. This ensured her successful reincarnation and endowed her new body with exceptional talent—in particular, a natural affinity for using the sword.

Under the intense pressure of Meng Dede’s assault, Tang San made contact with the trace of divine intent hidden deep within Mei Gongzi’s soul, enabling her to establish communication with the Asura Sword and borrow a fraction of its power from afar.

Although this action would attract attention, the benefits were immense. First, it ensured victory over Meng Dede. No matter how powerful the Blood Slaughter Demon Spear was, it was nothing before the Asura Sword, not to mention the sword’s righteous judgment ability was highly effective against demonic weapons. Second, invoking this trace of divine intent allowed Mei Gongzi to reestablish communication with the Asura Sword. The sword would be able to pinpoint her location and come to find her; its divine intent would grow stronger as it approached, and its protection would increase. And once this transcendent divine artifact truly arrived by Mei Gongzi’s side, even Emperors would find it difficult to harm her.

This plane was certainly strong, but its divine artifacts still fell short compared to the divine artifacts of an actual divine realm, not to mention transcendent ones.

To reestablish communication between Mei Gongzi and the sword, Tang San had consumed a significant amount of his divine consciousness, but he didn’t mind. He preferred to help Mei Gongzi communicate with the Asura Sword rather than summoning his own transcendent divine artifact. To him, nothing was more important than protecting Mei Gongzi.

In his previous life, he had failed to protect Xiao Wu, leading to her eventual fall. In this life, the way he viewed things was completely different. He used to have many responsibilities, as he had to protect his divine realm, among other things. But in this life, when he was reborn and saw Mei Gongzi for the first time, he had already decided to protect only her. Nothing else mattered.

And once this connection was set, it would be a matter of course for Mei Gongzi to become a god. If the tribulation lightning wanted to harm her, it would have to contend with the sword intent of the Asura Sword.

In her unconscious state, Mei Gongzi looked very peaceful, her delicate face a bit pale. Looking at her flawless beauty, all Tang San wanted was to lean down and kiss her. Of course, it was just a thought. He would wait until she came to him of her own free will.

When he walked down from the arena, the Peacock Great Demon King was already waiting there, wearing a peculiar expression.

Seeing Tang San carrying Mei Gongzi down, he quickly stepped forward and put a pill into Mei Gongzi’s mouth. Tang San recognized it as the same kind that had been given to him before.

Although it was somewhat extravagant to use this on Mei Gongzi, since she wasn’t really injured, Tang San had no intention of stopping it. To him, using any treasure for Mei Gongzi was worth it.

The Peacock Great Demon King did not take Mei Gongzi from Tang San but instead waved his right hand. A silver light enveloped both Tang San and Mei Gongzi, and in a flash, they swiftly left the scene.

When they reappeared, they were in a place unfamiliar to Tang San—a spacious room with a faint scent of incense. The Peacock Great Demon King didn’t speak but pointed to a side door.

Understanding, Tang San carried Mei Gongzi into the room there, carefully placing her on the bed and covering her with a blanket. He arranged her long hair to one side, ensuring she was comfortable, before stepping out and gently closing the door.

The Peacock Great Demon King still stood in the living room, calmly watching as Tang San did everything.

“You are very mysterious,” said Tang San’s future father-in-law.

Tang San looked at him calmly and replied, “There’s nothing mysterious about it. Everything I do is to protect her.”

The Peacock Great Demon King nodded. “I believe you. I don’t know why you’re doing this or where your feelings come from, but I trust you.”

As he spoke, he pointed to a nearby sofa, indicating for Tang San to sit down.

Tang San did not stand on ceremony and went to sit on the sofa.

The Peacock Great Demon King murmured, “I originally had only a forty to fifty percent chance. But after today’s battle, it should be over seventy percent.”

Tang San didn’t ask what he meant, because he knew that the Peacock Great Demon King had brought him here to tell him something important. Explanations would follow in due time.

The Peacock Great Demon King lifted his head, his eyes blazing as he looked at Tang San, and said, “I don’t have much time left. My greatest regret in this life is not being able to become an Emperor, not inheriting the legacy of my ancestors, not leading the Peacock Demon clan back to the pinnacle. This wish may now depend on Little Mei. With you by her side, I feel increasingly assured. I don’t know who you are and why you’re doing this, but I now believe in you.

“Perhaps you only made contact with her because the Redemption Society ordered you to, but I can see that you genuinely care for her. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have made a blood oath so easily. I brought you here today because there are things you need to know that are crucial for her future, as well as the resurgence of the Peacock Demon clan and… your own survival. If you truly care for her, then stay by her side and help her lead. Help her become the true master of Kali City. Help her restore the glory of the Peacock Demon clan. In doing so, you will also help humankind.”
