Chapter 215: What Is She Trying To Do?
Of course, she was truly shocked when she confirmed that Tang San was the "ape demon" that had killed the scorpion. After all, it was an eighth-order demonic beast! How could it be possible? But the truth was the truth; he had indeed accomplished it. He had grown strong enough to slay an eighth-order powerhouse.
This prompted Mei Gongzi to entertain a certain thought. After careful consideration, she wanted to seek his assistance.
However, while testing him today, what ultimately made her give up was not Tang San\'s strength, nor his ninth-order spiritual power but a particular thought in her heart; she did not want him to take risks.
Indeed, such a thought appeared in her mind with no rhyme or reason, as if she couldn\'t bear knowing that he was putting himself at risk.
Therefore, she changed her mind at the last moment.
Tang San, what exactly are you? Mei Gongzi murmured in her heart.
***
After leaving the small inn, Tang San stood outside for a few moments, observing his surroundings.
Mei Gongzi must be up to something. She says she doesn\'t need my help, but does that mean I shouldn\'t get involved? Come on, let\'s be serious. If Sweeper Tang can\'t do it, it\'s time for Asura to appear.
Turning into an alley, in no time, he changed his clothes, donned a mask, and slightly altered his physique using the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
After a long break, Asura was back on stage.
As he stood in a shadowy corner with a view of the inn\'s entrance, Tang San\'s lips curled slightly. In truth, adopting the Asura identity was more convenient, as it allowed him to unleash his true power. There was no need for the Wind Tiger Transformation.
Whatever she intended to do, since she sought help, her task was indeed fraught with risk. From today onwards, I will guard her as best as I can.
Tang San\'s recent cultivation had already reached a bottleneck. To advance further, he needed to wait for his companions\' progression. He was in no hurry. And to him, nothing was more important than making sure Mei Gongzi was safe.
The wait wasn\'t long before Mei Gongzi exited the inn. She appeared normal, with no noteworthy changes, and proceeded along the street.
Tang San followed her from a distance. Undoubtedly, Mei Gongzi was powerful, but in spiritual perception, Tang San was far stronger, so he wasn\'t worried about being detected.
The two proceeded, one following the other.
About fifteen minutes later, Mei Gongzi turned a corner, and to Tang San\'s surprise, when he followed, she had vanished.
It was like she had disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace.
Tang San wasn\'t worried; Mei Gongzi\'s Peacock Transformation granted her control over space, making short-distance spatial teleportation simple for her. Her disappearance signified that she was about to take action.
Tang San concealed himself in the shadows, silently releasing his spiritual power and sensing the spatial fluctuations in the air.
After several significant enhancements to his spiritual power and nurturing from his core divine consciousness, Tang San had partially regained some of his abilities related to spiritual perception. His spiritual power was still not at the god level, but the way he used it was worlds beyond the average ninth-order demon.
Moreover, he could not be any more familiar with Mei Gongzi\'s aura.
Quickly, he sensed a faint spatial fluctuation appearing in one direction and then, almost immediately, in another.
Tang San immediately sprang into action, activating Leopard Flash. He followed silently and swiftly.
By this time, the sky had completely darkened. Following the barely perceptible spatial fluctuations, he leaped and flickered across rooftops until the trace of spatial fluctuation disappeared into a large mansion.
It was a vast estate occupying a large area. Inside the mansion, a strong aura of bloodline energy was faintly perceptible. Undoubtedly, it was a noble demon\'s residence, and judging by the size of the mansion, the owner\'s status was likely very high.
Tang San carefully crawled onto a higher rooftop. He noted that the spatial fluctuation had also paused about a hundred meters away.
Crouching on the rooftop, he silently observed.
Although it was night, the mansion was bustling with activity. It seemed the master was entertaining guests, as loud voices echoed from the main house.
Most of the serving staff were human vassals, but Tang San quickly discovered who the mansion belonged to through his spiritual perception.
The most prevalent race here was the bear clan, with members towering at over four meters tall, and they all seemed to belong to the same clan.
The bear race had relatively few branches, and only four of them were considered truly powerful. One of these branches, the Titan Bear clan, resided in Kali City and was an established noble clan renowned for their robust physiques and formidable strength and defense.
The Titan Bear lineage had a bloodline ability known as Titan Shield. In battle, they could stimulate their energy to form a shield covering their entire body, integrating offense and defense, and incredibly formidable. An adult Titan Bear was at the seventh order at the very least.
Titan Bears were a sub-golden bloodline, meaning that there was a trace of gold in their blood, which was what granted them such formidable abilities. Overall, their bloodline was categorized as peak third-tier.
What was Mei Gongzi doing here? Is she here to gather information? Or is she here for... bear hunting? Damn, whatever she plans to do, I would have cooperated. But isn\'t she afraid of exposing her identity? After all, the bloodline of the Peacock Demon clan isn\'t easy to conceal!
Tang San waited silently, also observing the situation below.
It seemed the Titan Bears didn\'t have any god-level powerhouses here; otherwise, his Discerning Eye of Heaven would have detected a substantial threat. With no god-level opponents, the task was much more manageable. He silently activated the Celestial Fox Vision, bestowing luck upon himself.
The Titan Bear demons entertained numerous guests in the main house, with over a dozen attendees indulging in hearty eating and drinking. Most of them belonged to other warrior clans, including the Flash Leopard clan, though there were no members of the Wind Wolf clan. It seemed that the Titan Bears had some sort of relationship with the Flash Leopard clan; otherwise, given the status of the Flash Leopards in the demon hierarchy, they would have no business being here. Of course, it looked like they were only minor attendees at today\'s banquet.
Members of various other clans were present, too, and Tang San could even sense the presence of fox demons.
Zhang Haoxuan arranged for the Crimson Fox girls he had acquired at the auction to stay temporarily in a separate location within Kali City, as their presence in the town near Kali Academy would have been too conspicuous. He was waiting for Tang San’s return to finalize their arrangements.
The fox demons seemed quite popular among the demon races. At the day’s banquet, two female fox demons attended, and though their faces were not visible, their seats on either side of the host indicated their high status and the attitude of other clans towards the fox clans.
The host, undoubtedly the mansion\'s owner, was at the main seat. With just a slight use of his spiritual power, Tang San could feel the host\'s incredibly dense and powerful energy, like a tangible wave of force, creating a mountain-like presence in his spiritually perceived world.
This individual, while not a god just yet, was at least a peak ninth-order powerhouse.
Tang San believed that Mei Gongzi\'s cultivation was at the seventh order. The task of killing such a powerful individual would be nearly impossible for the two of them, especially since Mei Gongzi’s identity as a member of the Peacock Demon clan would likely be exposed in combat. Therefore, Tang San guessed that her plan was likely to gather intelligence.
Tang San assessed things from a distance, while Mei Gongzi remained motionless in the shadows. She did not move or further investigate the mansion, instead staying hidden.
