Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

He stood silently on the terrace, gazing in the direction of Ancestral Court Council Mountain. Whether it be the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox or any other emperors, you'd best not let any harm come to my beloved, otherwise, I will use the entire Demon Monster Land as a sacrifice.

A trace of faint killing intent flashed and then disappeared from the depths of Tang San's eyes.

A huge deep-purple hood enveloped all of Tang San, his head slightly lowered, making it impossible to discern his face from the outside.

Outside the White Tiger Grand Hotel, a carriage stood in silence.

A formidable figure jumped down from the carriage, also draped in a hood, but standing over two and a half meters tall, anyone even slightly near could feel an invisible pressure emanating from him.

Drawn by the aura, Tang San slightly lifted his head to look at the muscular figure. The other also sensed his presence, eyes lighting up, and waved at him.

Tang San quickly walked over, said nothing, and directly boarded the carriage.

The muscular figure also got on the carriage and ordered the driver to set off.

Removing the hood, Big Cat looked at Tang San with some excitement, "Brother, everything you ordered has been prepared. Rest assured, it was the Golden Lion Clan that made the arrangements, employing some beings from their vassal races. In a short while, I will directly bring you into the team, and then all you need to do is follow them. What business do you have getting into that place?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tang San did not answer directly but transmitted his voice, "Big Cat, after you get me into the team, leave immediately and erase all traces, so that there's no sign you ever saw me. It's better not to bring trouble upon yourself. Deal with any related member of the Golden Lion Clan afterwards, and show no mercy. This is for your own good."

Hearing his seriousness, Big Cat's expression turned solemn as well, "Do you need me to come with you? I'll go and erase the traces first, then find you. You're a great benefactor to our Lion Tiger Tribe, and I consider you a brother. Whatever the trouble or issue, let's shoulder it together."

Tang San shook his head, "My business this time can't be helped by anyone else. I can only rely on myself. Just do as I've said. You'll know soon what I'm here for. If I'm successful, then everything in the future may change."

Big Cat's brows furrowed slightly, feeling an inexplicable tension in his heart, but he asked no further. If Tang San said so, he must be facing a significant event.

"Anyway, just give me a shout if you need me; I wouldn't hesitate to go through fire and water. My life is already yours," Big Cat said gravely.

"Hmm. You take good care of yourself; that will be the best help for me," Tang San fell silent again.

Big Cat silently felt for the aura on him and was surprised to find that Tang San now seemed almost like a being of nothingness, to the point where it was somewhat unable to sense any fluctuations of aura from him.

The carriage traveled for over an hour before it finally came to a slow stop.

Big Cat was the first to get out and then escorted Tang San out. Next to their carriage was another, even larger one. Big Cat indicated the larger carriage, Tang San understood, waved to Big Cat, and then directly boarded it.

Big Cat did not linger, returned to the previous carriage, and it immediately accelerated away from the spot.

The carriage Tang San boarded already had four Monster tribe members on it. They came from different races, which was evident from their physiques. They too wore large hoods, identical to Tang San's, completely concealing themselves within, unable to make out their true features from the outside.

The carriage drove smoothly. Inside, no one showed any intention of speaking, all maintaining silence, which made the atmosphere within the city feel a bit oppressive.

After about half an hour, the carriage stopped. A voice called out from outside, "Everyone off."

Tang San followed the other four Monsters out of the carriage and proceeded with them.

Soon, each was issued with a number plate and queued up at the designated spot. Dozens of Monsters, all donning hooded cloaks, were already lining up. With just a slight use of his senses, Tang San assured himself that he was the only human there. Apart from him, they were all Monsters.

The color of the hooded cloaks indicated the groups. The hoods of the four Monsters who had gotten off the carriage with Tang San were the same color.

"You all know the rules. Once you enter later, your fate is in your own hands," shouted a sturdy Wolf Monster. It could be seen that there was a strand of golden hair on its head, clearly a noble amongst its kin.

For Tang San, this place was familiar; it was where he first came upon arriving at the Ancestral Court. It was also here that he had once felt many special presences and found his opportunity. Now, he had finally returned. Yes, this was the place, the Grand Animal Fighting Arena of the Ancestral Court, where group beast fights took place. It was a dangerous area called Hell's Garden, where at most only half the participants could come out alive.

Hell and heaven are both found in this world, a phrase Tang San would never forget.

However, the Tang San who stood here now was vastly different from when he had first arrived.

The requirement to enter Hell's Garden was to be Below deity level. Those daring to wager their lives here for money and resources were all formidable beings of the Ninth Stage.

The Grand Animal Fighting Arena of the Ancestral Court differed from those in other cities, where slaves were more often the participants; here, participants joined voluntarily, and the majority were nobles. That's why many concealed their appearances. Some wore masks, others hooded cloaks, all to hide their identities.

Anyone who made it out alive from here could obtain vast rewards. Those who dared to come here were either extremely confident in themselves or so desperate for money that they were willing to risk their lives—or it was a combination of the two.

Stay updated with empire

To come here, Tang San didn't even use the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast One Branch's commerce guild; instead, Big Cat managed to get him a spot through the Lion Clan's connections.

The situation back in Jiali City was still relatively complex, and Tang San absolutely could not let those who should not know of his arrival be aware that he had entered Hell's Garden again.

Yes, this was where he had ultimately chosen to undergo Tribulation.

"Enter."

Just then, a low roar sounded, the pathway ahead opened up, and all the teams participating in this group beast fight were about to enter Hell's Garden.

"Once inside, it would be best if you listened to me. This is already my second time entering Hell's Garden," said a brawny figure who was at the forefront of Tang San's team as he suddenly turned his head and spoke in a low voice.

Not only was he wearing a hooded cloak, but his face was also masked. However, judging from the appearance that peeked out, this was a Bear Demon, standing at about three meters tall. Among Bear Demons, this was a normal height and not particularly formidable, but his aura was quite condensed.

Entering for the second time?

The team Tang San had joined was known as a ragtag group, a temporary assembly of individuals without a fixed team. Such ragtag groups were common in the Ancestral Court Grand Fighting Beast Arena. After all, it wasn't easy to find a five-person team all willing to risk their lives, as everyone knew that entering this place for a beast fight meant there was a significant chance of not surviving.

The Bear Demon's words went unchallenged by the other team members. Tang San, standing at the very end, saw the three team members in front of him nodding one after another, and thus, he too nodded in agreement.
