Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 931: Chapter 929: Those Who Block My Path Shall Die

“What are you doing?” Tang San raised his hand and took the two fruits on the desk.

“Brother, you’ve finished your seclusion. I’m at an auction! Can you believe this? Our Blue Gold Fruits are going for just five Purple Crystal Coins each, and one can extend life by ten years! I heard that at auction houses they go for at least ten Purple Crystal Coins each. They’re even effective for Emperors.”

“Why don’t you sell them at the auction house then?” Tang San asked with puzzlement.

Jin Miaosen responded helplessly, “The auction house won’t accept them! I went there, and they said our Blue Gold Fruits weren’t worthy of being auctioned. They told us to find our own place to sell them.”

“Then you should have looked for a merchant caravan!” Tang San said.

“Those shops won’t take them either. I had no other choice, so I rented this space here, and it’s incredibly expensive. Then I started selling here. But the most they’re willing to offer is five Purple Crystal Coins.”

“Hey, please don’t make trouble, we’ve already made an offer. If there’s no higher bid, the two Blue Gold Fruits just now should belong to us,” a deep and resonant voice sounded.

Tang San turned around to look and saw a Bear Demon towering at five meters tall, covered in brown hair, looming over him. It carried an incredibly fierce aura, clearly a being of Demon King Level.

“The price is unreasonable, we’re not selling,” Tang San said to Jin Miaosen, “Let’s go.”

“You can’t leave. Once a bid has been placed, the Blue Gold Fruits should be ours. That’s the rule,” the Bear Demon said fiercely, blocking their path.

Tang San responded indifferently, “Where does this rule come from? This place is neither a true shop nor an auction house. What rule is there before a deal is made?”

“This is our rule. What? Does the insignificant Blue Golden Tree Clan intend to defy the rules at the Ancestral Court?” At this moment, another voice sounded. Cloaked in a black cloak, an ominous presence appeared, and the muscular Bear Demon King quickly stepped aside, showing a respectful demeanor.

“What do your rules have to do with us?” Tang San said as he continued walking towards the exit.

The Bear Demon King stepped forward again, blocking their path.

Tang San looked up at it and said calmly, “If you block my way again, I’ll take it as an attack against me.”

The Bear Demon King bared its teeth in a smile and said, “You probably don’t know the rules of the Ancestral Court. Here, in non-duel situations, one cannot initiate combat. Otherwise, you will be subject to severe punishment by the Ancestral Court.”

Tang San suddenly smiled, “So, you think that by blocking my way I’m out of options?”

The Bear Demon King laughed heartily, “What can you do? Hand over the Blue Gold Fruits quickly, complete the transaction, and then you can leave.”

Tang San turned to Jin Miaosen and said, “Be more careful around the Ancestral Court in the future. There are always some malicious entities around. Auction houses and shops don’t reject our Blue Gold Fruits. A treasure that can extend the lifespan of Emperors is undervalued at even ten Purple Crystal Coins, let alone five. These fellows are clearly conspiring to suppress the price to buy our Blue Gold Fruits cheaply and then find an opportunity to sell them at a higher price. Do you understand?”

While speaking, a deep blue aura radiated outward from Tang San’s body.

The range of the deep blue aura was not large, extending only about a meter from his body, and it did not affect Jin Miaosen at all.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please bear witness. The light surrounding my body is a special domain of our clan. Once someone enters my domain, they will die. The Ancestral Court has not prohibited the use of domains, so now, please keep your distance from me. If you die from coming into contact with my domain, it has nothing to do with us.” As he spoke, he walked towards the Bear Demon King again.

The Bear Demon King was stunned for a moment and involuntarily took a step back, as did the surrounding crowd who quickly dispersed.

A domain—something not just anyone could have, undoubtedly indicative of Rank 10 power or above. And who would willingly risk touching the force of that domain?

The Bear Demon King was furious and barked, “Are you trying to play tricks?”

However, Tang San paid no attention to its bluster and kept walking away.

The Bear Demon King let out a low growl and then turned its head towards the man shrouded in darkness.

The man in the black cloak nodded at it.

With a sinister laugh, the Bear Demon King took two steps forward, blocking Tang San’s path, “I want to see what kind of domain you, the Blue Golden Tree Clan, have that can kill me—ah…”

While it was speaking, Tang San had already reached its proximity. The deep blue light emanating from around one meter away from Tang San’s body came into contact with the Bear Demon King’s body.

The Bear Demon King felt a strange pulling force emanating from Tang San, no pain accompanied it, but it felt as if something was being drained from its body, as if something was being released from within. Its formidable momentum also drained away. It had been very cautious and had gathered its bloodline power. However, at this moment, it was shocked to see that its brown fur had turned grey and white upon contact with the deep blue light around Tang San. A feeling of weakness appeared almost instantly.

The Bear Demon King let out a strange cry and reflexively retreated.

Tang San did not use the Life-Stripping Realm to hold on to it, allowing it to stumble backward, even knocking over several onlookers that were monsters and spirits. Raising his head, Tang San said indifferently to it, “I said, touching my domain will result in death!” Having said this, he continued to walk away with Jin Miaosen.

This time, including the one wearing the black cloak, no one dared to block his way again, letting him exit the crowd with Jin Miaosen and quickly disappear.

The Bear Demon King, towering at five meters tall, was left with a conspicuously large patch of grey and white fur, and its aura was significantly weakened. It kept letting out low roars, but its eyes were filled with terror.

As Tang San walked away from the crowd with Jin Miaosen, Jin Miaosen grumpily said, “Those monsters and spirits of the Ancestral Court really are nasty, always bullying us outsiders.”

Tang San responded coolly, “Everywhere is a law of the jungle. We are new here; if you want to make money, it’s normal to be targeted. Tell me, why did you suddenly decide to sell the Blue Gold Fruit? Is this something to be sold so casually?” Although he didn’t know the rarity of the Blue Gold Fruit or the production quantity of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, even five Purple Crystal Coins would be an extravagant sum. That was a treasure capable of extending one’s life!

Jin Miaosen said somewhat aggrieved, “Brother, isn’t it almost time for the martial contest for a marriage alliance? The Elders said that you should participate as well. But we’re not good at fighting. I heard that there is an unprecedented grand auction before the contest, which will have many valuable items, including divine tools for combat. I wanted to gather some money for you to see if I could buy a divine tool for you at the auction, so even if you can’t win, at least you would have the ability to protect yourself.”

Hearing her words, Tang San was slightly taken aback, feeling warmth surge in his heart. Although he wasn’t Jin Miaosen’s true brother, ever since arriving at the Blue Golden Tree Clan, she had always been looking out for him, considering him in every situation, treating him very well indeed!

“No need to trouble yourself, don’t worry, I will be fine,” Tang San said softly. Then, he took out two Blue Gold Fruits and handed them to her, “Keep these safe.”

“Brother, have you registered yet?” Jin Miaosen asked curiously.

Tang San nodded and said, “The Heavenly Spirit Emperor came to find me earlier, hoping I could participate in this competition. It is called a contest for a marriage alliance, but in reality, it is a battle for the throne, concerning the future Emperor. So I had to join in.”
