Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

By this time, she had achieved God Rank, taking that most crucial step. As long as she continued to grow, the Peacock Demon Clan might very well produce another Emperor!

So, when Wang Han had just spoken those words, the many Demon Kings and Great Demon Kings of the Peacock Demon Clan had already unified their intentions to collaborate. Their duty was to preserve the bloodline of the Peacock Demon Clan's legacy and to protect this young patriarch who had the opportunity to become an Emperor.

Only if Pretty Girl became an Emperor in the future could the Peacock Demon Clan be revitalized. They were prepared to defend the Peacock Demon Clan with their lives, safeguarding this last glimmer of hope, even at the cost of their own lives.

Even the princess, who had been so opposed before, made the same choice at such a time. The arrival of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had unexpectedly united the previously internally competitive Peacock Demon Clan.

Had the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor just arrived? Of course, not. With the previous five-day delay as a buffer, he had actually been nearby all along, observing the situation here with his divine consciousness.

What he most wanted to see was the internal strife of the Peacock Demon Clan, a real fight breaking out, with the Peacock Demon King defeated and disgraced, which would have thrilled him the most. However, he had not expected Pretty Girl to have already achieved God Rank and to display such immense strength, not only defeating the strong members of the clan, but also overcoming Hu Mengyu, whom he had arranged long ago.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor could not wait any longer. Pretty Girl's growth rate was simply too fast, fast enough to even cause him a degree of panic. If he allowed her to continue cultivating like this, it might not take many years before the Peacock Demon Clan would indeed produce another Emperor. By then, he would never have the opportunity to defeat the Peacock Demon Clan and take control of Jiali City.

Therefore, he came here with the Phoenix Clan's strong ones. He could no longer care about much else now. Today, the rest of the Peacock Demon Clan didn't matter much, but the Peacock Demon King and Pretty Girl were the ones that he must kill. As long as he dealt with them, the remaining Peacock Demon Clan wouldn't be a threat to him.

However, what the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor did not anticipate was that the Peacock Demon Clan, which had previously been fighting each other, would unite so solidly against him. With so many Great Demon Kings and Demon King Level powerhouses, even if he burst out with all his strength, it would take some time to completely defeat them. Especially since the Peacock Demon Clan was particularly adept at teleportation, and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor did not possess the capability to track them like the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, making it difficult to find them once they escaped.

For a moment, the face of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor also darkened, as he coldly said, "Wang Qing, now that it has come to this, do you still want to run? Do you choose to be a coward?"

"A coward? You're the coward!" Just then, an angry voice sounded, followed by a figure soaring into the sky with a roar.

When she appeared, the expression of the princess hovering beside the Peacock Demon King visibly turned frigid. Because the one who had arrived was none other than her life's greatest romantic rival, Pretty Girl's mother.

Su Qin's eyes were red with fury, and behind her, a pair of white wings flapped, lifting her body into the air. She gazed at the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor from afar, radiating an aura of deadly seriousness. At this moment, it was evident that the Cultivation base she emitted was at the Demon King Level.

In the instant he saw her, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor visibly paused. If there was anyone in this world that could make him feel nervous, it was the person before him.

Su Qin's gaze was icy as she stared at him. "You want to kill my daughter?"

The muscles in the face of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor twitched, "Qin, you should know how deep the enmity between our race and the Peacock Demon Clan is. I can't sit back and watch an Emperor grow within the Peacock Demon Clan. That would be a tremendous threat to us."

Su Qin replied coldly, "So it comes down to interests again, to the benefit of the race, or perhaps, to your own benefit. For your own sake, you have always been prepared to abandon anything, just as you abandoned me without a second thought all those years ago. You professed your love for me, claimed you were willing to give your life for me, but when the chance to become an Emperor was within grasp, you discarded me without hesitation. Your love has always been that cheap. Now, for the sake of so-called racial benefits, you want to kill my daughter. Come then, why don't you kill me as well, and be done with it all at once."

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's complexion paled significantly, for he could bring himself to strike down any being except for the one before him, to whom he felt the deepest guilt and whom he could never forget not even by a fraction.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor said with a bitter smile, "Qin, you should know how crucial it is for us of the Demon Race to become an Emperor, no matter who it is. If I couldn't become an Emperor, how could I stand here today, overwhelming everything? I do love you. I swear to you, up until this very moment, you are the only one I have ever loved. You can ask any of my clansmen, for even with my status as an Emperor, I have yet to take a wife or even a single concubine. Every word I said to you back then came from the heart, and in this lifetime, I will only love you. I do not care that you've had a child with it, as long as you are willing to come back to me, my love for you will remain devoted. In the future, we can have our own children."

Su Qin sneered coldly, "Do you think I would believe you? Moreover, I can tell you that when I was giving birth to Little Beauty, I suffered a difficult labor and nearly died, and I no longer have the ability to bear children. Would you still want me like this?"

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's expression changed abruptly, and he glared furiously at the Peacock Demon King, "You bastard, is this how you treated her?"

However, the Peacock Demon King just smiled, "Me, a bastard? Do you even have the right to say that? Where were you at that time?"

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor paused, then suddenly turned his head to look at Su Qin, "I want you, no matter if you can bear children or not. What I want is you, the person, not a breeding machine. As long as you are willing, I will love you forever."

Su Qin replied coldly, "And then go and have children with other women, is that right? When the time comes, you'll tell me that it is for the sake of the Race's survival, your responsibility as an Emperor, correct?"

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was taken aback and fell silent, "This…"

Su Qin spoke icily, "Lin Ximo, I've seen through you long ago. You are so selfish, always centering your own interests. So no, I am unwilling, and I will never be willing. Come on, kill me then. Continue on your path, stepping over the bodies of me and my daughter." As she spoke, she moved to fly forward.

But just then, with a flash of silver light, another figure appeared by her side, the Peacock Demon King gripping her shoulder with one hand.

Su Qin turned her head to look at him. The Peacock Demon King shook his head gently at her, "Don't be impulsive. Even if not for yourself, think about the child! If you truly die, this guy will go mad. You're right, he is selfish and self-interested, but I must also admit, he truly does love you. So, you can't die. Don't forget what you promised me."

With tears in her eyes, Su Qin turned her head away but no longer insisted on flying forward.

Great Monster Emperor Lin Ximo glared at the Peacock Demon King and said coldly, "If you still consider yourself a male, then stand up. Today, I must kill you."

The Peacock Demon King showed a trace of a smile on his face, "I never intended to live, for I have done all I needed to do. Allow me to speak a few words to my wife, and I will accompany you in this last battle to let you know who is the ultimate victor."

After these words, a flash of silver light radiated from his body, and he took Su Qin back to the side of the Peacock Demon Clan before turning to face the princess.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The princess looked at him coldly, and then at Su Qin by his side, "The wife you speak of, is it me or her?"
