Chapter 444: 443

Now, he had already secured the friendship of the Lion Tiger Tribe and, if the Lion Tiger Sword Saint could successfully develop within the Golden Lion Clan, they might even garner a certain degree of support from the Lion Clan as well. The Ice Maiden Clan could very well become the next ally. Although they lived in the far northern lands, if he could indeed persuade them to marry into humanity, then in a few decades, everyone would be bound by blood. The Ice Maiden Clan might even be assimilated into part of humanity.Huang Bingbing was probably pondering this issue as well; Tang San did not try to coax her as it would be meaningless. The current problems of the Ice Maiden Clan were severe; extinction was far more terrifying than the dilution of their bloodline. Thus, Tang San was not at all worried—Huang Bingbing would surely compromise in the end, even if she did not agree this time.

Compared to the weaker humans, marrying into other Monster Clans or Spirit Clans was probably less desirable for them, as doing so could likely slip out of their control. In comparison, humans were definitely easier to manage!

Tang San stood up, and Huang Bingbing was immediately awakened, lifting her head to look at him. Tang San smiled wryly, "I'm a bit tired from flying all the way back; I'll go to the training room to meditate for a while. My partners will be back tonight. Later, I'll bring the one with Ice Spirit Change to meet you."

"Okay, go ahead," Huang Bingbing nodded.

Tang San had rushed the entire journey and even though he had rested in Golden Valley, using the Fox Tail Relic to stimulate his divine consciousness for a trial had been mentally intense; he never relaxed, and truly felt somewhat weary.

Entering the training room and feeling the strong Aura inside, Tang San began to meditate in a seated position, recovering his energy. He knew that Huang Bingbing also needed time to contemplate his proposal. It was an ideal opportunity to give her that time to think things through thoroughly.

Time ticked away by the second, and as night fell, Tang San ended his meditation and walked out of the training room. He had received a communication—his partners were back.

"Please wait a moment, Clan Chief. I'll meet with my partners first and then bring the one over to you," Tang San said to Huang Bingbing before leaving the room.

Watching his retreating figure, Huang Bingbing's gaze grew complex. The Clan Chief of the Ice Maiden Clan had spent the day mostly in deep thought. Tang San's narrative and analysis were clear, hitting the core issue of the Clan's impending extinction. Faced with the crisis of extinction, all other issues seemed insignificant.

If they could solve the issue as he had described, perhaps that was the only way out for the Ice Maiden Clan in their current predicament.

With a silent sigh in her heart, she knew that if she really decided to accept, there would likely be a lot of work to face upon returning home to get the Clan to agree to this method of combining lineages with humans. It certainly wasn't an easy task!

Exiting his own room, Tang San went directly upstairs according to the prior arrangement with his teacher, arriving at the king-class guest room that Zhang Haoxuan had prepared.

He knocked on the door, and it opened. All his partners had already arrived.

It was evident that they were all weary, but upon seeing Tang San whom they hadn't seen for many days, they all revealed understanding smiles.

They actually didn't know what Tang San had been doing all this time, and Zhang Haoxuan hadn't told them either. Over these days, they had been continuously climbing the Emperor Holy Mountains to enhance themselves. It must be said that, though it cost quite a bit, the effects were truly rather impressive.

"I'm back," Tang San said with a smile as he walked up. Du Bai couldn't wait and rushed over, "Xiao Tang, you've been out of sight for days. What have you been up to?"

Tang San smiled and replied, "Doing good deeds, of course! Sister Chengzi, your blood essence is also taken care of. After we return this time, we'll help you with the bloodline purification too, together with Senior Brother Gu Li."

Cheng Zicheng was stunned at first, then overwhelmed with joy, "Really? That's great. Long live Xiao Tang, heeheeheehee!" S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What about me, what about me?" Du Bai asked eagerly with excitement.

Tang San helplessly said, "Didn't you just get an upgrade? The high-quality blood essence of the Heavenly Fox Clan isn't that easy to obtain!"

"Ah? There's nothing for me?" They knew that Tang San had gone to attend the auction, and now mentioning the lack of Heavenly Fox Clan blood essence, Du Bai knew he shouldn't get his hopes up. Although his state had just been elevated not long ago, who would complain about their cultivation base improving too quickly?

Gu Li mocked, "That's being greedy. You're not working hard yourself and always hoping to rely on others."

Du Bai retorted sarcastically, "Let's see you not use the blood essence then."

"Alright, no more bickering. Let's all sit down and talk." Zhang Haoxuan emerged from inside and his smile turned even richer upon seeing his disciples. In his eyes, Tang San's early departure that day was very wise. The Fox Tail Relic was obviously a rare item, causing the various Fox Tribes to search for it afterward. However, the Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce used Tang San's guarantee of a cash purchase as the reason not to leak his information. It wasn't about the Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce being honorable; it was simply that the interests behind Tang San, the "Array Master," were too significant!

Everyone sat down in the living room, and Zhang Haoxuan's divine consciousness flourished, setting up an isolating barrier before nodding toward Tang San.

Tang San said, "This time, I went to the Ancestral Court auction with the teacher and indeed, there were many great items. The specifics, everyone will naturally find out after we return to Golden Valley. It will benefit each of us. Sister Chengzi and Senior Brother Gu Li's blood essence issues are resolved, which should be enough for you to use before reaching the Ninth Stage peak. When it's time for the future promotion to God Rank, we'll find a way. How is everyone's cultivation progress lately?"

Perhaps too excited by the good news, Cheng Zicheng was the first to eagerly speak, "It's been great! I've gained a lot with the Undying Great Demon Emperor. Being scorched by the flames on his Holy Mountain every day, I feel my body becoming stronger, and even the purity of my bloodline seems to be improving, which is nice. The catch is it's so exhausting; I'm beat every day when I get back. Thankfully, I have the supplements you gave me, and the progress during this time feels better than several months of cultivation at the academy."

Finally, Wu Bingji spoke up, "It's just a little expensive." While speaking, he glanced at Tang San. Although he didn't inquire like Du Bai, his look toward Tang San contained a mix of hope and slight reproach. Tang San hadn't mentioned finding suitable blood essence for him! And Wu Bingji knew his situation; the purity of his bloodline made it somewhat forced to cultivate to his current level, entering the Ninth Stage was possible, but reaching the Ninth Stage peak was difficult. Moreover, the rank of his Ice Spirit Change wasn't high, his future potential couldn't compare with the others. This was always a knot in Wu Bingji's heart.

Du Bai said, "My state hasn't changed since the last upgrade. But spending every day on the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, I've greatly improved my control over Luck and figured out many things I didn't understand before. I've made some progress in distinguishing and controlling good fortune and misfortune. I'll show you later."

"Good," Tang San nodded. If he had enough time, he would be willing to spend more time on the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain to deeply understand its mysteries. Although the Crystal Great Demon Emperor was considered the number one powerhouse, in his heart, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was always the most mysterious one.

Whether it was the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain itself, Hell's Garden, or even the entire Demon Monster Land and the concentration of Luck on Falan Planet, they were all inseparable from the enigmatic Ancestral Court Controller, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox.
