Chapter 816: Ancestral Court Envoy
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
“Everything is going well over there; we’ll continue the migration, but we’ll do it in secret. Only there can humans have their own space to survive, at least without being enslaved.”
Luo Qingzhu sighed and said, “You must be careful about this. Don’t get too involved, let Tang San handle it. After all, your goal is to become an Emperor. Only when you reclaim the title of Peacock Demon Emperor can our clan and Kali City truly stabilize. Now that your father is back, we will do our best to manage the affairs of Kali City, but your main focus should be on advancing your cultivation. I heard from your father that you’ve become a Great Demon King in a short time, but the road ahead is still tough.
"You can’t overlook the difficulties just because things have been smooth so far. Throughout history, countless Great Demon Kings have emerged among demons and nymphs, but only a handful have ever become Emperors. That crucial step is incredibly hard to take. Your progress has been too fast; you must accumulate a solid foundation. Becoming an Emperor requires not just bloodline power, but the elevation of divine consciousness. Only when your divine consciousness reaches that level can your body undergo a complete transformation. You’ve advanced quickly, but you must focus on cultivating your divine consciousness. Both your father and I are lacking in this respect and will never touch that threshold in this lifetime.”
“Yes, I will do my best.” Mei Gongzi agreed, but a strange feeling lingered in her heart. Was cultivating divine consciousness really that difficult? In just these past few days, being by Tang San’s side and watching him bless the Endless Blue Sea, her divine consciousness had caught up with her cultivation level. If anything, it felt... easy. Even now that she was back, the Asura Sword’s influence continued. As long as Tang San kept absorbing faith energy, she would also benefit from it.
It seemed that cultivation didn’t just require effort; having a good husband was also key.
Thinking of this, Mei Gongzi’s face turned red. No, no, no—what husband? He’s not my husband. When did I start to think of him like that? But... Last night, we did sleep together, after all....
“Why is your face red again? Little Mei, I have no objections to your relationship with Tang San. He is my great benefactor; he revived your father, and nothing is more important to me than that. But I must remind you, you cannot consider marriage before becoming an Emperor. Especially since he is human. If you marry him before ascending, your Emperor ascension will absolutely not be approved.”
“Oh, Mother, what are you talking about? Who... who wants to marry him?” Mei Gongzi’s face flushed red, and she pouted.
Luo Qingzhu chuckled knowingly and said, “You haven’t been my age yet, but I’ve been yours. Even if you yelled it from atop the palace, it wouldn’t be any clearer. But remember your mom’s advice: now isn’t the time to make things public.”
“Mm, I know,” Mei Gongzi replied shyly, lowering her head.
Emperor—when would she become an Emperor? Perhaps by then, he would already be an Emperor. He was already at the eleventh order now, and his advancement was faster than hers!
Mei Gongzi suddenly felt a strange sensation. Ever since she met Tang San, it seemed like everything was changing, and it was for the better.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside. “Grand Elder, an envoy has come from the Ancestral Court.”
Luo Qingzhu was taken aback. She exchanged a glance with Mei Gongzi, then turned toward the door and said, “Please ask the envoy to wait for a few moments.”
“Understood!”
Luo Qingzhu gave Mei Gongzi a questioning look. “Why is the Ancestral Court sending someone now?”
Whether it was the Empyrean Dominion or the Solstice Empire, the main cities were largely autonomous, as most of them had the backing of an Emperor. Each year, they only needed to pay a portion of their revenue to support the Ancestral Court, and the Ancestral Court generally did not interfere with the affairs of the main cities. This was why city lords were held in such high esteem.
The Ancestral Court would not lightly send envoys to the main cities unless there was truly something important. When the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor came to Kali City looking for trouble, it was a rare exception; it took advantage of the fact that Kali City had no Emperor, and even then he needed an official reason for the visit.
Now, Mei Gongzi had just been recognized by the Ancestral Court and officially became the new city lord, yet the Ancestral Court had suddenly sent an envoy. Something was fishy.
Mei Gongzi shook her head and said, “I don’t know why they’re here either. I’ll go meet them and find out what they’re up to.”
Ever since witnessing Tang San’s divine might over the Endless Blue Sea, she had real confidence. She believed that even if an Emperor came, they really might not be able to do anything to them as long as they were in the Endless Blue Sea.
Luo Qingzhu nodded slightly. “Alright, you go. You’re the city lord, so it’s more appropriate for you to meet them. If there are any problems, we’ll discuss and resolve them later.”
“Okay.”
Mei Gongzi adjusted her attire and instructed the attendants to bring the envoy to the main hall of the city lord’s mansion. She followed shortly after.
As she stepped into the hall, Mei Gongzi’s expression turned icy, and an invisible aura of authority naturally emanated from her.
The Ancestral Court had only sent two envoys, both of whom were at the Demon King level. One was a well-proportioned figure with a gentle aura, clearly a member of the Celestial Fox clan. Officially, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor was still the leader of the Ancestral Court, so this envoy most definitely represented him. The other envoy was tall and muscular, with thick and long arms, and exuding explosive power. His skin faintly glowed with a dark golden sheen that marked him as a Behemoth.
When Mei Gongzi arrived, both envoys stood up and bowed to her. “Greetings, City Lord Mei.”
Mei Gongzi nodded in acknowledgment and said, “Please have a seat, both of you.” She then took the main seat herself.
The two envoys sat down as well, and their expressions were very amicable.
Mei Gongzi asked, “May I know what orders the Ancestral Court has for me?”
The Celestial Fox envoy shook his head gently, smiled, and said, “We are not here to deliver orders from the Ancestral Court.”
“Then what for?” Mei Gongzi frowned slightly, unsure of what the Ancestral Court wanted from her this time.
The Behemoth envoy spoke in a gruff voice, “City Lord Mei, it’s like this: to congratulate you on your official ascension to the position of city lord, the lord of our Sky-Splitting City intends to personally visit to offer his congratulations and extend a hand in friendship. We are here to inform you of the visit and to tell you that we would like to build a bridge between our cities.”
Hearing this, Mei Gongzi was greatly surprised. The Sky-Splitting City Lord was coming to Kali City? The Peacock Demon clan and the Behemoth clan had never had much contact. Moreover, during her ascension, the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor had outright opposed her!
The Sky-Splitting City Lord was not the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor himself but his youngest son, who was hailed as the next Emperor of the Behemoth clan. It was said that he was already at the peak of the Great Demon King level and had extraordinary strength among his peers. If the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor were to fall due to age or other reasons, this individual would likely be the next to undergo Emperor ascension. He could not be considered a member of the younger generation per se, but he was still young for a Great Demon King and in the prime of his power.
