Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 977 - 975: Phantom God Mask
She was almost too scared to continue thinking. With that thought in mind, she quietly activated the communication device, gently tapping with her fingers while wrapping her body in divine consciousness.
"What's wrong?" A familiar voice came through quickly. Hearing his voice, Pretty Girl finally felt a bit more at peace.
"I just ran into the clan leader of the Blue Golden Tree Clan. He's no simple character. If you encounter him later in the competition, you must be cautious," Pretty Girl said softly.
"In what way is he not simple?" Tang San asked.
Pretty Girl answered, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but he gives me the sense that he's unfathomably deep. You know what? He tried to chat me up just now, and I intended to deter him with my Killing Intent, but he dissolved it without a trace. Ever since I got the Shadow Demon Sword, my Killing God Domain seems to have evolved. However, my powerful Killing Intent seems to have no effect on him. So, he is indeed no simple character. You must take care."
Tang San said, "Alright, I'll be careful. Don't forget, after the auction is over, I'll bring you back to Jiali City. I'll find you at the White Tiger Grand Hotel then."
"Mmm."
After ending the communication, Pretty Girl's mood slightly relaxed. As long as Tang San was there, her heart could be stable. She prayed in her heart that everything would go smoothly at this martial contest for courtship!
Now, the direction of the martial contest for courtship was completely out of her control.

An hour's rest was not exactly lengthy; noon had passed, and the sunlight at this time was the strongest. It made the temperature within the large auction hall rise considerably.
After more than two days of bidding, those sitting in the ordinary seats were all very tired. But the auction of the most important ten items was coming up, and every bidder was bracing themselves with energy. Though ninety-nine percent of them would not be able to participate in an auction of this level, they all wanted to see how precious the items offered at the climax of this supreme auction could be. All bidders knew that this kind of auction might indeed be a once-in-a-lifetime event for them.
A faint white light descended from the sky, and a tall figure appeared on the auction stage. When he appeared, clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, quietly blocking the sunlight, making the harsh light disappear, preventing it from affecting the bidders' vision.
It was indeed him!
Tang San, in VIP Room No.8, was also bracing himself, watching the screen in front of him intently.
The figure that appeared on the auction stage was none other than the current nominal ruler of the Ancestral Court, the Dominator of Fate, Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox.
Even when the Crystal Great Demon Emperor was still there, it was Heavenly Fox who managed and handled the daily affairs of the Ancestral Court. After the fall of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor, his status was undoubtedly impacted to some extent, but the Tianyang Spirit King had no interest in managing the daily affairs of the Ancestral Court. Therefore, in terms of ranking, Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was still above the Tianyang Spirit King.
At this moment, when this Emperor who controls fortune appeared on the auction stage, the bidders' eyes immediately became eager. The top-ranked Emperor was presiding over the final auction. Just this fact alone was worth the price of admission. At this auction, they had already seen six Emperors. It's important to note that for most of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, it's rare to even see an Emperor once in a lifetime!
Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox displayed a faint smile on his face, "This auction has been going on for three days, the duration is indeed somewhat lengthy, and I believe everyone has felt a bit fatigued. However, this auction is the largest in scale and highest in value that the Ancestral Court has ever held. Moreover, I estimate that it'll be difficult to see an auction of this level again in the next thousand years. Among the lots we have presented at this auction, there are nearly fifty of the divine tool level, which is almost beyond our Emperors' imagination."
"The lots that we will proceed to auction next are the last ten of this event, and each has been carefully selected. They all possess the power to change heaven and earth. While actively participating, everyone please also bid within your means and not harm the foundation of your Race."
Tang San had been silently observing Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, and with the observation from the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, he noticed that the Great Demon Emperor's Cultivation base had already recovered. The fluctuation of fortune around him was very stable, and the fluctuation of mind in his eyes was also very smooth.
His foundation really was profound! Previously affected by backlash from fortune, such a severe setback, yet he managed to recover in such a short time—it's no wonder he's the current First Demon Emperor.
Of course, he also understood that the rapid recovery of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was related to himself; the revival of the Tree Ancestor greatly contributed to the concentration of luck over the entire Demon Monster Land, which was also the reason why Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had previously taken the initiative to send a Messenger to extend goodwill. However, for some unknown reason, after he came to report, this person had not since contacted the present him, especially concerning the neutrality proposal of the Blue Golden Tree Clan initiated by himself, which to this date, the Ancestral Court had yet to respond directly.
Comparatively speaking, neutrality for the Blue Golden Tree Clan should be more beneficial to the Monster Clan. Even Tianyang Spirit King and the other Spirit Emperors have agreed, so if the Ancestral Court does not pass it, that clearly indicates some problem on the side of Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. It seems that confrontations with him will still be inevitable in the future.
As for the other Emperors, let it be; once he recovers his former state, this one must be eliminated. As long as Heavenly Fox Controls Fortune, then humans might never have the opportunity to overcome.
While Tang San was deep in thought, Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox on the auction stage furrowed his brow for no apparent reason, and his sense of divine consciousness immediately intensified.
Tang San was startled and quickly reined in his thoughts; although it was impossible for the other party to know it was him, in that instant just now, Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox must have sensed his malice.
As the Dominator of Fate, his senses were undoubtedly the sharpest in this regard.
Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was also startled in his heart. To know that, for someone to make him feel malice, it must be a being capable of threatening his existence. For ordinary beings, no matter how much malice they harbored, as long as there wasn't any threat, he wouldn't detect it.
Who could it be? Which Emperor suddenly harbored malice towards him? Tianyang?
This thought flashed through his mind.
"Present the first lot of our last round of auction." The auction had to continue, and Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox didn't have the luxury of time to ponder on it, thus immediately proceeded with the auction.
The illumination in the air dimmed a few shades, and in the next moment, a pale white-tinted radiant light slowly rose from beneath the auction stage. A small cart also emerged along with it.
Atop that cart was a Metal mask, the base color appearing white. There were faint glimmers of light and shadow on it, yet the specifics could not be made out.
A mask? Such equipment was extremely rare, and given that it appeared here, presided over by Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox himself as the auctioneer, there was no doubt that it was a divine tool.
"Seeing this equipment, some of you may be surprised. Indeed, this is a mask. To use it, one prerequisite is necessary: the ability to shapeshift into human form. Beings below King level, or Races that lack the ability to shapeshift into human form need not consider it. We call this mask the Phantom God. Wearing it, one can change into any appearance at will, and even imitate the aura entirely, provided that you've had contact with the individual. A touch, or staring within ten meters for more than ten seconds, will allow you to completely copy the individual's appearance and aura. Furthermore, the Phantom God mask can block all probes of divine consciousness. At least among the known powerful beings, no one has broken through its defense at the divine consciousness level. It is a Divine Object for concealing identity. With it, you can become the Thousand-face God, and no one will be able to easily find you."
