Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 946: Entering the VIP Room

Tang San felt a bit helpless himself. Even he wasn't sure just how strong he'd become immediately upon ascending to Emperorhood, nor how much fortune he'd occupy in this plane. Would his presence significantly affect the fortune here, or would it have little impact since he was an outsider who had already promised the planar ruler that he would eventually leave? He had no way of knowing until he actually went through with the ascension.

Tang San's group continued forward, following behind the Peacock Demon clan through the corridor. After passing through a long passage and ascending a flight of stairs, the roaring noise from the crowd gradually became audible.

Mei Gongzi and the Peacock Demon clan emerged from the passageway first, followed closely by Tang San and the Blue Gold Tree clan elders.

The chaotic noise momentarily gave him a headache. The mixed bloodline power emanating from the massive crowd even made Tang San furrow his brow.

However, as he took in the scene—every corner of the Grand Auction Hall packed to the brim—he couldn't help feeling astonished. The scale of this auction truly was immense, and everyone present was a powerhouse. There wasn't anyone below the seventh order, and most attendees were eighth- or ninth-order. Among the larger-sized races, only those at the tenth order or higher were permitted to enter.

Fortunately, their section was relatively peaceful. The temporary VIP rooms, though simply constructed and not particularly luxurious, at least offered personal space.

Mei Gongzi had already entered her VIP room along with the other nine Peacock Demon clan members. Tang San had been able to catch glimpses of her long hair from behind the entire time, but he had been extra careful to keep his distance. They knew each other too well; despite Tang San's flawless disguise and vastly different bloodline aura, he still feared Mei Gongzi might recognize him. If that happened, his careful concealment thus far would be for nothing.

Most VIP guests attending the auction had already settled into their rooms. Only the VIP suites reserved for Emperors remained empty; naturally, the Emperors would arrive just before the auction officially started.

Tang San entered his own VIP room, accompanied by Jin Miaosen and several of the highest-ranking elders, while the rest sat just outside.

The VIP rooms boasted large crystal screens provided by the Crystal Nymph clan, which would magnify and clearly display each auction item. This luxury far exceeded the experience of the general public outside.

With a slight smile, Tang San took his seat on the central sofa. Indeed, as the lord of a main city, his status in the Daemon Continent was completely different.

The elders sat on either side, while Jin Miaosen took a seat beside Tang San.

She curiously glanced around. The VIP room was roughly one hundred square meters; it was not particularly large, but still quite the extravagant privilege in such a crowded venue. Inside were comfortable sofas, as well as tea tables filled with various drinks, fruits, and snacks. The setup was simple but pleasant.

The entire wall facing the auction stage was a massive crystal screen. Right now, it showed an empty auction platform. Compared to ordinary spectators' view, or to what those outside the Ancestral Court saw on their screens, this was far above and beyond. Finally, next to the central seat was the button for placing bids.

Their VIP room was number eight. In total, there were twenty VIP rooms in this area. Aside from the dozen or so main city lords, only leaders of a few clans with first-tier bloodlines had the privilege of being here. Assigning Tang San to room number eight meant the Ancestral Court officially acknowledged him as holding the eighth-highest status among those present, an unprecedented recognition for Skytree City and the Blue Gold Tree clan.

This wasn't only because of Tang San's success in his city lord evaluation, but also—and more importantly—due to the Ancestral Tree's recent act of killing the Adamant Nymph Emperor.

Though the Adamant Nymph clan also received a VIP room, due to them still holding a main city and being a first-tier clan, they were likely placed below the fifteenth position.

Tang San had noticed earlier that Mei Gongzi's VIP room was number eleven. Despite being a city lord as well, her room was ranked lower than his. The dragon race representatives, who had entered before Mei Gongzi, occupied room number ten, clearly indicating that their status exceeded that of Kali City. Even though they did not represent the Tenebrous Demon Emperor's city, their status surpassed that of the lords of some cities with an Emperor!

This was likely because the dragon race representatives were also the representatives of Crystal City. While the leadership of Crystal City remained undecided, it undoubtedly still belonged to the entire dragon race, and Tang San speculated that after this matchmaking tournament, leadership of Crystal City would likely be officially assigned to the Radiant Dragon King, Xu An'yu.

That Tang San's room ranked higher than Xu An'yu's wasn't only due to the prestige of the Ancestral Tree but also reflected the support of the Sunborne Nymph Emperor.

After his recent official report, Ancestral Court, Tang San clearly understood that the Sunborne Nymph Emperor had some serious hidden ailment, one that perhaps only the Ancestral Tree's original power could remedy. In other words, this Emperor needed him greatly. Having previously visited the Ancestral Tree's husk without success, the Emperor now hoped Tang San could deliver something meaningful. Additionally, he clearly considered the Blue Gold Tree clan harmless, and this lack of threat and mass of benefits was what prompted him to offer such unwavering support.

Leveraging all available resources had always been Tang San's forte. Since they saw no threat in him, that suited him perfectly.

Time passed quickly, and noon rapidly approached.

Suddenly, a formless yet mighty pressure descended from above, immediately silencing the noisy Grand Auction Hall.

Nearly every bidder instinctively looked upward.

It seemed as if a massive river poured down from the sky above, like a heavenly cascade. Upon reaching the air above the auction hall, the torrent dispersed into countless cooling droplets, instantly refreshing the heated air caused by everyone's surging bloodline power. Every attendee felt pleasantly revitalized.

A blue figure descended gracefully from the sky, landing atop the highest level of VIP suites.

The Endless Nymph Emperor had arrived! Though considered the least powerful among the Nymph Emperors, it was undeniable that none had remotely as great mastery over water. This was the true might of an Emperor; even their presence alone commanded obedience from nature itself.

Immediately afterward, several powerful presences descended one after another from above. A crystal-bright phoenix radiating dazzling brilliance appeared—the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, Mei Gongzi's biological father. If the Endless Nymph Emperor ranked last among the Solstice Empire's Emperors, then the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor occupied that same position in the Empyrean Dominion. Yet, there was no shame in this ranking. After all, he was also the youngest Emperor, and by a large margin. He had time to grow.

Following him, other enormous figures appeared, each showing off their distinct abilities.

A giant sword radiating holy light plunged down as if embedding itself directly into a VIP suite. The Sword Saint Demon Emperor had arrived.

Accompanied by a powerful, awe-inspiring aura, a massive white tiger spread its wings and descended majestically. The White Tiger Demon Emperor had appeared.

On the nymph side, the Soul Capturer Nymph Emperor and the Rainbowglaze Nymph Emperor descended simultaneously, each creating their own spectacular phenomena.

The Golden Mammoth Demon Emperor and the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor arrived together, their imposing forms like towering mountains, giving the entire venue a sense of increased stability.

Clearly, the Empyrean Dominion's side exhibited greater overall momentum due to its numerical advantage. Indeed, now that the Adamant Nymph Emperor was no more, the short-lived balance between the countries was also gone. freeweɓnovel-cøm
