Chapter 509: Chapter 508: Asura's Blood Oath

The Peacock Demon King looked at him and said, "Rest assured about this matter. You're right, my life is soon to end, my bloodline is drying up, and death is not far away. But how could I let Little Beauty inherit this doomed position of patriarch if I haven't settled external affairs? It's not only for her but also for the reproduction and flourishing of our Peacock Demon Clan. Your task is to assist her in stabilizing the internal issues and gaining recognition from the Ancestral Court. As for everything external, I will naturally resolve it. I have quite a comprehensive arrangement for the overall situation, and now that you are by her side, I'm even more relieved."At this moment, the Peacock Demon King no longer hid his admiration for Tang San. This young man spoke frankly before him, unaffected by the pressure exerted by the demon. Just this quality alone, at his age, was something no one in the Peacock Demon Clan could achieve, even Pretty Girl fell a bit short. What was lacking even more was social experience.

This human youth seemed to possess a kind of magic that, during their conversation, made even the Peacock Demon King unconsciously regard him as an equal.

Tang San felt a touch of surprise in his heart. It seemed that the Peacock Demon King still had a trump card up his sleeve. The situation between it and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was clearly a fight to the death. What kind of trump card could it possibly have that made it believe it could resolve such an issue?

The trouble brought by an Emperor was not something that could be shouldered by just any trump card.

"You need not overthink anything. When the time comes, in light of your blood oath, I will let you know everything. But do not let Little Beauty know. You will understand when the time comes. It's always necessary to have someone who is in the know. You, who will stay by her side and are aware of the true situation, will be able to guide her better, and also make better use of everything I leave behind." There was suddenly a proud yet complex glint in the Peacock Demon King's eyes.

"Okay," Tang San nodded. Since the Peacock Demon King said he would be told, then it was likely a matter of time.

"I appreciate your calmness. Do your best and protect her," said the Peacock Demon King as he took a sip of tea, but his complexion suddenly turned pale, followed by a slight cough.

Tang San frowned slightly. With his insight, he could naturally see the problem with the Peacock Demon King. In the last battle with the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, it had burned its life force too fiercely, causing its life source to fracture, and once it completely shattered, that would be its end. This was an injury that was nearly irreversible, thus the saying it didn't have long to live. If Tang San were still the First-Generation God King, he naturally had methods to treat it, but not as he was now. The Peacock Demon King's remaining Life Force couldn't possibly wait for the day he achieved Godking status.

At that moment, the Peacock Demon King said, "I will send you back. Don't go back to the arena, just return to where you are staying."

"Sure. I'm staying at the White Tiger Grand Hotel," Tang San replied with a slight nod.

Upon hearing the name "White Tiger Grand Hotel," the Peacock Demon King was slightly startled, a playful smile creeping across his face, then he extended his right hand to Tang San and said, "Welcome to the Peacock Demon Clan."

Tang San reached out and shook its hand, "For Pretty Girl."

With a flash of silver light, in the next instant, Tang San and the Peacock Demon King appeared outside the White Tiger Grand Hotel.

The White Tiger Grand Hotel seemed very quiet at this time, with not even a single door guard at the entrance. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Peacock Demon King patted Tang San's shoulder and said, "Go on. In terms of the competition, you can act freely; I will announce externally that you have been made a guest elder of our Peacock Demon Clan. Don't worry about your human identity. Try to help Little Beauty achieve better results as much as possible, this will be of great help in reducing future obstacles for both of you."

"Thank you," Tang San said, grateful for the Peacock Demon King's affirmation and support, which would certainly be very helpful at least for the time being. Tang San wouldn't have thought to submit to any Emperor anyway, and seizing the opportunity to make a blood oath today was also to reassure Pretty Girl to let him guard her.

With a flash of silver light, the Peacock Demon King disappeared. Watching where it had left, Tang San thought to himself, does this count as getting the father-in-law's approval? Participating in the Ancestral Court Elite Competition seemed to be the right choice after all. Displaying strength in battle was more convincing than anything else. The Monster Clan and Spirit Clan are still a world that venerates power!

Activating his communicator, Tang San tried to contact Pretty Girl.

"Where did you go?" The moment the communication connected, Pretty Girl's voice came through.

"Your father took me away just now," Tang San hurriedly replied. During his time with the Peacock Demon King, the demon had shielded the entire space, rendering any communicator useless.

"Ah?" Pretty Girl exclaimed in surprise, "You were taken away by my father? What did he want with you?"

Tang San said, "He wanted me to pledge allegiance to the Peacock Demon Clan."

Pretty Girl fell silent for a moment, "Did you agree?"

"I did not," Tang San replied.

"Where are you? I'll come to you right now," Pretty Girl's voice suddenly became more urgent.

"Has your competition started?" Tang San asked in surprise.

"Not yet, it's not our group's turn. If you didn't agree, my father might... never mind that for now, just tell me where you are, I'll be right there," Pretty Girl said anxiously.

"No need, he already sent me back to the hotel. Although I did not agree to be loyal to the Peacock Demon Clan, I did agree to be loyal to you. So he didn't do anything to me. Don't worry, focus on your competition. I won't come over now, your father said many forces might try to recruit me. He will announce that from now on I am a guest elder of your Peacock Demon Clan."

"Loyal to me?" Pretty Girl on the other end clearly paused in surprise.

"Yes! What's wrong with a brother being loyal to his younger sister? Anyway, I will always protect you," Tang San said naturally.

"I understand," Pretty Girl's voice was slightly strange on the other side, "Sorry, brother..."

"Forget about that, stabilize your mind, you're about to compete soon. By the way, has Big Cat fought his match yet?" Tang San asked.

Pretty Girl's tone immediately showed a change, "It's finished. He was really too cunning. Pretending to be seriously injured, his opponent attacked him ferociously from the start, and he kept retreating. Then, he found an opportunity to burst forth and counter-killed his opponent. It only took about fifteen seconds, taking advantage of the moment his opponent paused to catch his breath after the fierce attack, he delivered a direct kill."

Tang San murmured, "I knew it would be like this. Alright, let's not talk about this now; tune yourself up for the upcoming match. Good luck!"

"Yeah, I will. I'll message you after the competition ends."

Pretty Girl ended the communication, and Tang San did not go to Mount Tianyang or Earth Yin Holy Mountain that day but went straight back to the hotel. He had sustained some injuries today and had just absorbed the Bloodline Brand of the Behemoth giant beast; he needed to adjust himself to see when the best time for absorption would be. His Cultivation base had also just broken through to the level 9 stage, and he needed to consolidate his state.

Ancestral Court Square.

Pretty Girl, who had just hung up, seemed somewhat distracted. Loyal to me? He said he would be loyal to me?

Pledging loyalty was not something taken lightly—it was, in fact, a kind of oath. Moreover, made in front of her own father, it was not that easy to just gloss over!

All this time, she didn't know why Asura had been so determined to protect her at all costs; last time he even taught her a magical skill. That magical skill was truly very powerful, and moved by it, she decided to recognize him as her older brother. But now, her brother had even spoken of loyalty, which made her feel not only touched but also a bit perplexed. What she couldn't figure out was, why would he do that? The first time they met, they were complete strangers, yet he kept protecting her, supporting her, without showing any real ulterior motive.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly reached her ears, "Asura has made a blood oath to be loyal to you. Focus on the competition; this person is trustworthy and has a promising future."
