Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 705: Everything is About to Begin

He stood on the balcony, silently watching in the direction of the Council Mountain. Whether it was the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor or any other Emperor, they had better not harm his beloved. If they did, he would use the entire Daemon Continent as a sacrifice to appease her.

A faint glint of killing intent flashed in Tang San's eyes.

A large, deep purple hooded cloak enveloped him. With his head slightly lowered, it was impossible to see his face from the outside.

Outside the White Tiger Hotel, a carriage awaited.

A tall and muscular figure jumped down from the carriage. It, too, wore a hooded cloak, but it stood over two and a half meters tall. Even being slightly close to it, one could feel an indescribable pressure emanating from it.

Sensing the aura, Tang San slightly raised his head and looked at the robust figure. The figure sensed his presence too and immediately waved him over enthusiastically.

Tang San quickly walked over and directly boarded the carriage without a word.

The burly figure also boarded the carriage and instructed the driver to depart.

Removing his hood, Big Cat looked at Tang San with a bit of excitement. "Brother Asura, I’ve prepared everything as you instructed. Don’t worry, I had the Golden Lion clan handle the preparations, using members of their vassal clans. I’ll bring you into the group shortly, and you can just follow along. What are you planning to do in that place?"

Tang San didn’t answer directly and instead communicated telepathically, "Big Cat, once you’ve brought me into the group, leave immediately. Erase all traces of our meeting—don’t leave any evidence that you’ve seen me. This is to avoid bringing trouble upon you. As for the Golden Lion Clan members involved in this, you need to deal with them—leave no loose ends. This is for your own good."

When he heard the seriousness in Tang San’s tone, Big Cat’s eyes narrowed. "Do you need me to come with you? I’ll erase the traces first, then find you. Don’t be ashamed to ask for help; you are my brother and the benefactor of my clan. Whatever difficulties you face, I’ll bear them with you."

Tang San shook his head. "Thank you, but I’ll have to decline. This time, no one can help me. I have to do it on my own. Just do as I said; soon enough, you’ll know what I’m planning. If I succeed, everything in the future might change."

Big Cat furrowed his brow, feeling an inexplicable tension rising within him, but he didn't press further. Tang San's words made it clear that it was a crucial matter he was facing.

"Anyway, if you need me for anything, just say the word. I’d go through fire and water for you. This life of mine is yours," Big Cat said in a deep voice.

"I believe you, and you have nothing to prove to me. Protecting yourself is the best help you can give me. I will need you later," Tang San replied, falling silent once more.

Big Cat silently tried to sense Tang San’s aura and was surprised to find that at this moment, Tang San seemed almost like a void. He couldn’t even feel the fluctuations of Tang San’s aura.

The carriage continued to travel for over an hour before it finally came to a stop.

Big Cat was the first to disembark, then helped Tang San down. Beside their carriage, there was another, larger one. Big Cat pointed to the larger carriage, and Tang San, understanding the gesture, waved at him before boarding the bigger carriage.

Big Cat didn’t linger; he returned to the previous carriage, which immediately sped away from the spot.

On the carriage Tang San boarded, there were four demons. They were clearly from different races, judging by their physiques. Each wore a large hooded cloak identical to Tang San's, which completely concealed their appearance.

The carriage moved steadily, and no one inside seemed inclined to speak. The atmosphere inside the carriage was heavy with silence.

After another half hour of travel, the carriage stopped. A voice outside barked, "Everyone, get off."

Tang San followed the other four demons out of the carriage, moving along with them.

Soon, each of them was given a number tag and directed to line up in a designated spot. There were already dozens of hooded demons in line. With just a brief scan, Tang San could tell that he was the only human among them—everyone else was a pureblooded demon.

The color of their hoods indicated their groups, and the four demons who had disembarked with Tang San wore hoods of the same color as his.

"You know the rules, so I won’t bother. Once you enter, it's every demon for themselves," a strong wolf demon shouted loudly. A streak of golden hair on its head marked it as a member of the wolf demon nobility.

This place was very familiar to Tang San. The first time he came to the Ancestral Court, this was the end goal. It was also here that he had encountered many unique beings and found an irreplicable opportunity. And now, he was back.

Yes, this was the Great Beast Fighting Arena of the Ancestral Court, a dangerous area where at most half of the participants could come out alive: the Hell Garden.

"Heaven and hell both exist in this world" was a phrase Tang San would never forget. But he was far from the Tang San that had first arrived in this garden; there was no comparison.

The requirement for entering Hell Garden was that participants had to be below godhood. Those who came here to risk their lives in exchange for money and resources were all ninth-order powerhouses.

The Ancestral Court's arena was different from those in other cities. Elsewhere, most participants were slaves, but here, all participants joined voluntarily, and most of them were nobles. This was why they often concealed their appearances—some wore masks, others hoods, others both—to avoid revealing their identities.

Anyone who managed to come out of here alive would receive a massive reward. Those who dared to come here either had immense confidence in themselves or were desperate for money or acknowledgement... or perhaps a combination of both.

To come here, Tang San didn’t even use the Aetherhorn Merchant Association; instead, he had Big Cat use the Golden Lion clan’s connections to secure him a spot.

The situation in Kali City was still relatively complicated, and Tang San couldn't allow those who shouldn't know of his presence to find out that he had entered the Hell Garden again.

The Hell Garden—the place he had ultimately chosen for his tribulation.

"Enter."

At that moment, the passage ahead opened, and all the teams participating in this battle royale began to enter the Hell Garden.

The burly figure at the front of Tang San's five-member team suddenly turned back and muttered, "Once we're inside, you’d better listen to me. This is my second time in the Hell Garden,"

Not only was it wearing a hooded cloak, but it also had a mask on its face. Judging by the visible parts of its appearance, it was a bear demon. It stood around three meters tall, a fairly typical height for a bear demon, but its aura was notably heavy and dense.

Second time entering?

The team Tang San joined was known as a "scattered team," a temporary group formed by individuals without a fixed team. Scattered teams were quite common in the Ancestral Court's arena. After all, it wasn't easy to form a permanent team of five where everyone was willing to risk their lives. Everyone knew that entering this arena carried a high chance of not making it out alive.

None of the team members objected to the bear demon's words. Standing at the back, Tang San saw the three members in front of him nod in agreement one after another, so he also nodded in response.
