Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 762 - 761: Don’t Look Back
```
The light flickered, and when Tang San and Pretty Girl reappeared, they were already in the transfer teleportation array inside the cave outside of Black Dragon City.
Tang San did not directly continue to teleport with Pretty Girl back to Golden Valley because, at that moment, his emotions were indescribable.
Throughout the entire Tribulation and Pretty Girl’s tenure report, he could say he left no stone unturned, everything was under control, and he didn’t even use all his trump cards. He completed the Tribulation without danger and also achieved his ultimate goal.
But even he could never have imagined that after his own Tribulation, he would meditate so deeply for such a long time, allowing the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox the opportunity to strike at the human settlements.
No one knows how many lives were lost in their surprise attack; this is the Monster Clan’s attitude towards humans, to destroy what they cannot control.
Now, he even felt some fear because he dared not face it. He didn’t know how many friends he would find dead in this disaster upon his return.
Teachers, Wu Bingji, Du Bai, Gu Li, Cheng Zicheng, including the teachers and students of Redemption Academy, and those who gathered in the human settlements. He wondered how many of them died under the crushing power of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox.
Standing beside Tang San, Pretty Girl’s eyes were equally dull at this moment.
Her tenure had been successful, and she had become the official Jiali City Lord, and Tang San had completed his Tribulation, becoming even more powerful. He could contend with an emperor to a degree. But the human settlements were gone. What was all this for? It was because she was too eager to establish these settlements, and her successful tenure led the Monster Clan’s emperors to think they should transition to the Monster Clan and draw a clear line with humans. Even her own grandfather, the White Tiger Great Demon King, supported the actions of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox.
All of this could be said to have started because of her. If she hadn’t inherited the position of Peacock Demon Clan Chief, Jiali City Lord, so many humans wouldn’t have come to support her. How full of hope they were when they came! But the ultimate outcome...
If they hadn’t come, they might at least still be alive, but now they are already...
The two stood in silence, the joy of their reunion already gone at this moment, and even the air seemed to have become oppressive.
"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault..." Pretty Girl finally lost control of her emotions, tears flooding out.
Tang San quickly pulled her into his arms, "It’s not your fault, it’s me, it was my short-sightedness, my misjudgment of those emperors. I should not have assumed that such powerful beings would consider themselves too good to strike at ordinary people; I underestimated their cruelty and how much they guarded against us humans."
Pretty Girl collapsed into Tang San’s embrace, sobbing loudly, her emotions on the verge of breaking down.
While Tang San comforted Pretty Girl, seeds of hatred began to sprout violently within him. Ancestral Court, what an Ancestral Court. And the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, or rather, every one of the Monster Clan’s emperors, saw humans as ants to be crushed at will.
The slaughter they inflicted today, one day, must be repaid to them tenfold, a hundredfold.
In the end, he had shown mercy. He should have shattered all the Lucky Lotus Seeds of the Heavenly Fox demon clan that day. His mercy was repaid with the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox’s increased ruthlessness.
After a good while, Pretty Girl’s crying gradually subsided.
"Tang San, what should we, what should I do?" Pretty Girl asked softly. She truly did not know what to do or how to face it all.
Tang San gripped her shoulders; at this time, he had gradually calmed down from his prior rage.

"Little Beauty, listen to me. Now is not the time for self-reproach because no matter how much we blame ourselves or regret, it’s all meaningless. There’s no Regret Medicine in this world. Since it has already happened, we just have to face it. Whether it’s pain or evasion, it’s all meaningless. Don’t look back. What we need to do is to protect the living clansmen and help them grow stronger in the future, to truly gain the ability to contend with the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan. And also, to avenge our deceased compatriots!"
When he reached the last two words, a cold light burst from Tang San’s eyes, revealing an unmasked intense killing intent.
Upon hearing his words, Pretty Girl slightly recovered, nodding gently, but tears continued to fall silently.
Tang San took a deep breath and said, "We still have to part ways for now. I should have stayed by your side at all times, but now, I must go back first, no matter what the situation is there, I need to see it for myself, to face what has happened. At least with me there, no further harm will continue to occur."
"What about me?" asked Pretty Girl, somewhat at a loss.
Tang San sighed and said, "I’ll send you back in a moment, back to the White Tiger Great Demon King. From his perspective, he hasn’t done anything wrong; he was protecting you. Now, my abilities have been exposed in front of him. You need to steady him, not allow him to stand against us, because what we lack the most right now is time. Only by truly growing can we stand a chance against the Ancestral Court. Moreover, you’ve just completed your inaugural duty and secured the position of City Lord. Whether we want revenge or to help our humans in the future, we need your status. Being a good City Lord is the bravest thing you can do for our deceased compatriots. Do you understand?"
With misty eyes, Pretty Girl looked at him, "I, I also want to go back with you. I..." Read new chapters at novelbuddy
Tang San gently kissed her forehead, holding her tightly in his embrace, "I know, I know all. I understand your heart. But at this moment, you must stay in the Ancestral Court and complete the hundred days. Afterward, I will take you back. If we leave now and the situation with White Tiger Great Demon King becomes unstable, the disaster facing us and our clansmen will only be greater. What we are most afraid of is a full-scale onslaught from the Demon Monster Land against our humans. Thus, we cannot be the catalyst for that."
"Mm, mm," Pretty Girl nodded, her eyes filled with tears.
Tang San drew a deep breath and said, "What you can do for our compatriots is to diligently cultivate and improve yourself. Make yourself much stronger. Only when we both become Emperors can we truly protect them. Understand?"
"Mm." Pretty Girl nodded again.

Tang San gently stroked her long hair, feeling slightly better only when holding her in his arms.
"I will take you back. Adjust your mentality. First, you need to stabilize the situation with the White Tiger Great Demon King," he instructed.
Around them, silver light swirled, wrapping their bodies and initiating the teleportation.
With the Time-Space Tower, Tang San could now perform such a long-distance teleportation with ease. When the light brightened again, they had already returned to the White Tiger Grand Hotel.
Indeed, they did not go directly to the White Tiger Palace. That place was White Tiger Holy Mountain, where teleporting directly would create too much commotion. Also, it required the Teleportation Array from the White Tiger Grand Hotel to facilitate such a distant transfer.
They appeared in a familiar room. Tang San took Pretty Girl to the bathroom, asking her to wash her face.
With the splash of clean water, Pretty Girl gradually calmed down. Although still pale, her heart had settled quite a bit.
"How are you feeling? Were you hurt just now?" Pretty Girl said softly to Tang San.
Tang San shook his head and replied, "My self-healing ability is very strong now. My injuries were not severe and have already healed quickly."
Thanks to the Leakproof Golden Body, he did not even need to resort to the Undying Fire Phoenix’s Nirvana and rebirth. The injuries that Tang San had sustained from the White Tiger Great Demon King had already healed quickly. This was the source of Tang San’s courage to dare to fight against Emperors.
