Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 882 - 880: 12 Hours
A race without an Emperor declaring war on a race with an Emperor, this has never happened before in the entire history of Demon Monster Land.
Leaving Diamond City? Any Spirit Monster with a bit of understanding about the Blue Gold Tree Clan would think this a joke. However, some cautious characters started hesitating whether to leave or not. After all, this involved a dispute between two great races. No matter how weak the Blue Gold Tree Clan was, it was still the Lord of a City. If the two races truly collided, would there be collateral damage like fish caught in a net? The Diamond Elf King did not refute this immediately, which suggests that it is very possible that the Diamond Elf King was not in the city. Out of caution, it would be natural to first go out and avoid the storm, to wait and see what happens.
Jin Chengwu, while using the divine tool inside the City Lord Manor to contact the Diamond Elf King, was also watching Tang San's eyes ablaze with fire.
Setting aside whether the Blue Gold Tree Clan could pose a threat, the declarations Tang San had just announced had already had a huge impact on the Diamond Elf Clan, especially in terms of reputation. Being declared war on, never to rest until death, what did this mean? More importantly, if this matter reached the Ancestral Court, the Diamond Elf Clan would not appear justified either!
Twelve hours, this time was not only for the Diamond Elf Clan to react but also enough time for the news to reach the Ancestral Court. The Diamond Elf King had time to hurry back, and naturally, other Emperors from the Ancestral Court would also have time to come over.
How cunning! Jin Chengwu now realized some of Tang San's intentions. It's very likely that this new patriarch of the Blue Gold Tree Clan never really intended to fight, but merely wanted to use this opportunity to force the Ancestral Court to punish Diamond City. There had to be an explanation given to the Blue Gold Tree Clan. By then, if they just retreated back to Jianmu City, and kept hunkered down as before, what could Diamond City do? Jin Chengwu knew about the Diamond Elf King's previous setback in Jianmu City.
In this incident, the Diamond Elf Clan's reputation would inevitably suffer a huge blow, and this was probably the other party's plan to compel other main cities to send back the members of the Blue Gold Tree Clan. How truly cunning! This new patriarch of the Blue Gold Tree Clan, not simple at all, really not simple!
Jin Chengwu felt that he had understood Tang San's purpose, but at this moment, there was nothing he could do but to quickly pass on everything that had happened here to the Diamond Elf King, and wait for his decision.
Earlier, Tang San, in collaboration with the Blue Gold Tree Clan Elders, had summoned the projection of the Tree Ancestor, which was somewhat frightening. In that state, even an existence at the Level of Great Spirit King like him felt a sense of powerlessness. Therefore, he really didn't dare to risk attacking Tang San and his group right now.
Soon, another six king-class Spirit Monsters from the Diamond Elf Clan arrived, one of whom was at the Level of Great Spirit King. Together, they numbered close to twenty, which was all of the Diamond Elf Clan's king-class powerhouses. Compared to the Diamond Elf Clan, the Blue Gold Tree Clan clearly had an easier time with their Cultivation state advancements, benefiting from the Radiance of the Tree Ancestor. But in terms of combat power, if it were before Tang San's arrival, even if the Blue Gold Tree Clan had twice the number, they would definitely not be a match for the Diamond Elf Clan; not to mention, they couldn't even break through the latter's defenses.
Jin Miaosen was sitting right next to Tang San, his eyes revealing a sense of urgency. He had not thought that much, even without the conjectures of Jin Chengwu. He just felt very proud now, at least his brother had done something that no Blue Gold Tree Clan had ever achieved before. He truly brought hope and radiance to the Blue Gold Tree Clan.
But soon, he began to grow anxious. Twelve hours, was that too long? Although they now carried the Tree Ancestor Brand and could borrow some power from the Tree Ancestor, was this really enough to confront an Emperor? That was an Emperor! Twelve hours, even if it's from the Ancestral Court, would be more than enough for an Emperor to make it back. Once the Diamond Elf King returned, wouldn't it be a problem if not only their plans for revenge backfire but they also get trapped?
Thinking this, Jin Miaosen started to become anxious and in a low voice said to Tang San beside him, "Brother, why don't we launch an attack now! With the power of the Tree Ancestor, maybe we really can take our revenge, but if the Diamond Elf King comes back, it could get troublesome, right?"
Tang San opened his eyes and looked at it, saying, "Wait for it, we must wait for its return. Otherwise, we would only be considered as launching a sneak attack. Since we want the Tree Ancestor's Radiance to shine upon the earth once again, everything must be done with honor and integrity."
Jin Miaosen was about to say something else but was pulled back by the Second Elder behind him who whispered, "Xiao Sen, do not disturb the patriarch. The patriarch naturally has his own intentions."
Jin Chengwu, as well as the more senior Elders, had thought of some aspects. After the initial shock, they understood that escalating the situation could actually work in favor of the Blue Gold Tree Clan. After all, they were standing on the side of justice. What could the Diamond Elf King do upon his return? Surely, he couldn't kill them all? Moreover, with such a commotion occurring here, wouldn't the Ancestral Court respond? Upon receiving the news, the Diamond Elf King would certainly report to the Ancestral Court, and at the very least, Emperors throughout the Rihchen Empire would be notified.
What followed was to see how the Ancestral Court would deal with this incident and how they would give an explanation to the Blue Gold Tree Clan.
Therefore, making a big scene was actually the best choice.
The more the Elders of the Blue Gold Tree Clan thought about the possible situations that could unfold, the more they admired Tang San. With this uproar, other main cities would send some of their clansmen back as well, and naturally, the status of the Blue Gold Tree Clan within the Rihchen Empire would rise significantly, thereby securing Jianmu City's stability. As for creating animosity with the Diamond Elf King? The relationship between the two parties wasn't good to begin with. After all, the Emperor had already bullied them all the way to their doorstep and was repelled by the Tree Ancestor. Without today's incident, the Diamond Elf Clan wouldn't have been friendly to the Blue Gold Tree Clan anyway.

Being able to seek revenge and simultaneously elevate the status of the Blue Gold Tree Clan was definitely the most rational choice. They thought about it, but if it were up to them to preside over the situation, they would have definitely not dared to do what Tang San had done, and neither would the Great Elder.
At last, the Blue Gold Tree Clan had found its backbone! The Elders were increasingly convinced and content with Tang San's leadership.
The Blue Gold Tree Clan was united as one, but the Diamond Elf Clan was in utter chaos.
Having understood the situation, the first thing Jin Chengwu had to do was to pacify the public! The commotion caused by Tang San's announcement had already plunged Diamond City into chaos, and to make matters worse, various rumors had started to spread.
Diamond City was not inhabited solely by the Diamond Elf Clan. On the contrary, the overall population of the Diamond Elf Clan was actually not large, for to cultivate from diamond into a spirit was an extremely difficult feat. Nevertheless, the Diamond Elf Clan was indeed the leader among the mineral Spirit Monsters. As such, Diamond City was home to various mineral Spirit Monster races, with a tremendous variety. There were as many races as there were types of minerals. Weaker clans like the Stone Clan couldn't make it here, but as long as it was a race that cultivated from rare minerals or metals, they would have a substantial foundation. Within this vast main city lived more than a hundred different races.
Tang San's declaration of a fight to the death had scared some of the races. Within a mere hour, Jin Chengwu received reports indicating that the outflow at the various city gates of Diamond City had increased tenfold. Even the main city gate started to see queues form for those looking to exit the city.
This would undoubtedly have a tremendous impact on the order in Diamond City, and it was a massive hit to the city's reputation.
Those strong races close to the Diamond Elf Clan were still fine as they naturally believed that the Blue Gold Tree Clan wouldn't be able to shake the foundation of the Diamond Elf Clan.
