NOVPUBJin Chengwu said, "After the patriarch, you should go to the Ancestral Court for duty reporting. During that time, you should be able to meet His Majesty."
"Good." Tang San nodded and said, "In that case, we will impose on Diamond City for one day andntinue our journey tomorrow. I would ask City Lord Jin to lead the way."
Jin Chengwu looked at Tang San, his eyes flashing a trace of surprise. Was his hint not clear enough? Was this not a tactful showing to the door? Or was the other party playing dumb?
But no matter what, Tang San was the Jianmu City Lord and the Clan Leader of Blue Golden Tree Clan. Even before the Tree Ancestor had awakened, his formal visit meant that Diamond Cityuld not reject him at the door; this was against the rules.
So, although reluctantly, Jin Chengwu still had to step aside, making a gesture of invitation to Tang San, "If the patriarch doesn’t mind, please enter the city to rest."
Tang San gave a slight smile and said, "Diamond City is rich beyondmpare, howuld I disdain it? After you, City Lord Jin." 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
While speaking, he had alreadyme up beside Jin Chengwu and together with this Great Spirit King of the Diamond Tribe, they flew towards Diamond City. The Elders of the Blue Golden Tree Clan and the three Diamond Spirit Kings followed behind.
Jin Chengwu led them to land outside Diamond City; this was also a rule, as the airspace above any main city was not to be trespassed at will, ofurse, except for the Emperors.
Tang San did not mind this and followed Jin Chengwu, entering through the city gate into Diamond City.
Entering Diamond City, it felt like another world to the Elders of the Blue Golden Tree Clan. The Life Aura within the city was noticeably weaker than the outside world, significantly diminished, but in Diamond City, the elemental essence was extremely rich. Elements of various attributes were present, and upon closer inspection, these elemental waves were almost all emanating from the buildings in the city. These buildings each radiated elemental essences of varying intensities, odd and yet fluctuating.
Tang San extended his divinensciousness outward, feeling the different ores that made up the city’s buildings. This place was really interesting, like a blacksmith’s forge, clearlynstructed from fire attribute ores, and a place resembling a restaurant, made from water attribute ores. Moreover, the levels of the ores varied, affecting the scale of the buildingsnstructed. Those larger buildings were obviously made from higher-grade ores.
Tang Sanuldn’t help but silently marvel in his heart, Demon Monster Land truly was a magical place! It was unimaginable without seeing it with one’s own eyes that such a cityuld exist.
"Is this the patriarch’s first time visiting our Diamond City?" Jin Chengwu asked indifferently.
Tang San nodded and said, "Indeed, this is my first visit."
Jin Miaosenuldn’t help but remark, "Would our clan dare tome here on a regular day? What’s the difference between that and walking into a tiger’s den?"
Jin Chengwu’s face showed surprise and said, "What do you mean by this, Blue Gold Spirit King?"
Jin Miaosen was about to say more but was stopped by a hand from Tang San, "My sister spoke out of turn, please do not take offense, City Lord Jin."
Jin Chengwu’s expression shifted slightly and he smiled, "So this is the patriarch’s own sister, surely a direct descendant of the Tree Ancestor, my mistake, my mistake."
Tang San smiled and said, "There’s no need for formality, City Lord Jin. Not long ago, the Ancestral Court issued a formal decree at the request of our clan, stating that if any city or clan has enslaved or is holding any of our clansmen or those who have shed their skin, they should be returned to our clan. I wonder if City Lord Jin is aware of this?"
He asked casually, but a flash of caution appeared in Jin Chengwu’s eyes. However, he maintained a smile on his face and said, "I have also heard about this decree."
Tang San asked, "Then do you know if such situations have occurred in Diamond City?"
Jin Chengwu replied without hesitation and with a stern face, "Ofurse not. Our Diamond City is adjacent to the noble Jianmu City. We are friendly neighbors; howuld we engage in actions that harm the nobles?"
"Really? There haven’t been any?" Tang San asked gravely.
Jin Chengwu stopped walking, a flicker of wariness in his eyes. After all, he was facing over a dozen Spirit King-level powerhouses, including three of the Great Spirit King level. Even if the Blue Gold Tree Clan had been weakened for a long time, their rank was still ultimately there.
He looked at Tang San sternly and said, "To my knowledge, there hasn’t been."
Tang San’s face revealed a faint smile of understanding, "That’s good. Since there are none, then naturally it will not affect the friendship between our two clans."
Jin Miaosen nudged Tang San from behind, but Tang San acted as if he did not notice. The other Elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan silently watched Tang San, not saying a word.
Everyone knew that Jin Chengwu was blindingly telling lies. The ones whoveted the Blue Gold Tree Clan the most were none other than the Diamond Elf lineage.
The Diamond Elves belonged to the rare non-plant type Spirit Monsters. Their birth had nothing to do with the Tree Ancestor. They inherently possessed abundant energy, but their life force paled inmparison to that of plant-type Spirit Monsters. Therefore, their yearning for life force was even stronger.
The most critical moment for the Diamond Elves is when they awaken from rocks. At this moment, they need to absorb a significant amount of life force. Nothingntained purer and more abundant life force than the Blue Gold Tree Clan. Hence, the mostvetous toward the Blue Gold Tree Clan would be races like the Diamond Elves.
Even the Diamond Elf King had attempted a stealth attack on Jianmu City, which showed how little they regarded the Blue Gold Tree Clan. Could anyone believe there were no clansmen of the Blue Gold Tree Clan within Diamond City?
Yet faced with Jin Chengwu’s fervent assurances, Tang San acted as if he didn’t see through the other’s prevarication, andntinued to follow him into the city withmposure.
Diamond City was very prosperous. As Tang San had said, among the various races, the Diamond Tribe was exceptionally wealthy. Byntrolling the mines and governing the various mineral Spirit Monsters, they had seized a treasure trove of resources. The Diamond Elf King’s rise to the throne was inseparably linked to the massive resourcesntrolled by Diamond City. With a sufficient supplement of life force,upled with the devouring of various energy-rich rare minerals, they had found the optimal path for their Cultivation.
The closer they got to the city center, the more Tang San felt the energyntained in the buildings was pure and immense. Various gemstones thatuld even be referred to as treasures in the Tianyu Empire were here, only ordinary building materials.
Tang San saw Wind Spirit Stones, which were once used as tribute during his youth, but here they were simplymmon building materials. These were all items thatuld be used to make lower-grade currency!
For this reason, although the life force in Diamond City was nowhere near as abundant as in Jianmu City, if one talked about elemental energy, this place undoubtedly had the richestncentration Tang San had seen in this world, especially the Earth Element. The massive Earth Element Energy gave the entire city an incredibly thick and heavy sensation. There must be a huge magic array at the city’sre that absorbs Earth Element. With this tremendous Earth Element Energy, nurturing various mineral Spirit Monsters, this place was undoubtedly their paradise.
Jin Chengwu led Tang San and the Elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan to a building and stopped. The structure was very tall, with three floors each over ten meters in height. From the outside, it looked grand and majestic. The entire building was a dark redlor, where oneuld clearly sense an intense fire elemental fluctuation. These dark red minerals were obviously very rare,ntaining incredibly vast energy.
"Clan Leader, this is our Diamond City’s Inn. I’ll have to trouble all of you to rest here today," Jin Chengwu said with a smile.
Upon these words, the Elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clanuldn’t help but show anger on their faces.
No matter what, Tang San was now the Clan Leader of the Blue Gold Tree Clan and also the Jianmu City Lord. How many main cities were there on the entire Demon Monster Continent? Moreover, the Ancestral Court had already rgnized him as the City Lord, and he was just waiting to report for duty.
