Every Emperor had a dedicated Messenger looking for outstanding talents during thepetition. When they spotted a contestant with enough potential, even if that contestant lost the match, they might still earn the Emperor''s favor and enticement, thereby increasing the Emperor''s power.


    Because Tang San was human, he hadn''t attracted much attention in the previous matches, not until he defeated the Behemoth giant beast in thest round and disyed his dual bloodline, whichpletely changed the situation. Before he left the stage, the Peacock Demon King had already dispersed all the Messengers who hade tomunicate, iming Tang San was one of his own from Jiali City. This was why Tang San hadn''t received anymunication from the Messengers of the Emperors.


    The situation today was naturally the same. Although bound by a blood oath, the Peacock Demon King also didn''t want Tang San to get any other ideas due to the attention from the Emperors, nipping any such possibilities in the bud.


    Even if Tang San guessed this, he didn''t care, as he hadn''t nned on being enticed by any Emperor.


    By the time Tang San and Pretty Girl had left the Ancestral Court Square, all the members of the Shrek squad and Zhang Haoxuan had already been waiting. Even the carriages were ready.


    Seeing Pretty Girl supporting Tang San as they came out, everyone hurriedly approached.


    Zhang Haoxuan looked at Tang San with concern and asked, "How are you doing? Why push yourself so hard?"


    Tang San replied with a wry smile, "I''m not as strong as my opponent; I wouldn''t have won if I hadn''t pushed myself. I''m fine, don''t worry, I just broke a few ribs at the back. They''ll heal soon."


    Zhang Haoxuan nced at him, then at Pretty Girl beside him, and said, "Get in the carriage first. We''ll talk more when we get back."


    "Okay, good," Tang San replied, and with Pretty Girl''s help, he got into a carriage. Instead of leaving when hispanions arrived, Pretty Girl also boarded the carriage with him.


    Just as Du Bai was about to follow them into the carriage, Cheng Zicheng pulled him back down.


    "Why are you pulling me?" Du Bai asked, confused.


    Cheng Zicheng replied irritably, "Are your eyes just for decoration? Why cause trouble? Squeeze into the carriage behind."


    Du Bai blinked, surprised, "You mean..."


    But Cheng Zicheng ignored him and turned to walk toward the carriage behind. Gu Li said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Some people ah! Even with three eyes, they''repletely clueless."


    "Who are you calling stupid!"


    "Whoever is stupid is who I''m talking about."


    As they bickered, everyone boarded the carriage behind.


    "Are those yourpanions?" Pretty Girl asked as she ced a soft cushion behind Tang San. At this point, the numbness in his back had turned into acute pain. He didn''t dare lean back but held onto the handle beside the seat of the carriage, leaning his body slightly forward.


    "Yes, they are all mypanions," Tang San replied softly.


    Seeing him sweat on his forehead with a paleplexion, Pretty Girl said, "Don''t talk anymore."


    "Okay," Tang San responded, then closed his eyes and continuously circted the Mysterious Heaven Method, using the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Method to stabilize his previously fractured ribs and adjust the damaged bloodlines around them, nourishing them and aiding the healing to progress in a positive direction.


    In fact, his injuries were not just the ribs but also included internal organs. His injuries from yesterday hadn''tpletely healed and today''s damage was even more serious. That strike earlier was an all-out effort on his part. Only by doing so had he been able to ovee and win.


    The damage to his opponent was serious, and he, too, had suffered severe reverse shock injuries. If not for the strong protective properties of the Lion Tiger Golden Gang and its powerful repelling force, he might have ended up unconscious like his opponent.


    Even so, his organs had been misced at this time, as if they were burning from a fierce fire. He could only rely on the Mysterious Heaven Method to slowly adjust his organs one by one, allowing them to return to their correct positions, before he could slowly regte his breathing.


    Under normal circumstances, such injuries would take over a week to heal, even with Tang San''s experience and the dense spirituality of heaven and earth in the Ancestral Court. But since the Peacock Demon King had given him that box and told him that with what was inside, there wouldn''t be any impact on the subsequentpetition, he should be able to recover quickly.


    Now wasn''t a good time to use it for treatment while on the carriage; better to go back first. Before that, he needed to get his body in order and prepared.


    If Pretty Girl wasn''t worried that space teleportation would aggravate his injuries, she would have directly teleported him back. But the distance from the White Tiger Grand Hotel to the Ancestral Court Square wasn''t too far, so riding in the carriage was the safer choice.


    The carriage steadily arrived at the White Tiger Grand Hotel, and everyone alighted, with Pretty Girl carefully assisting Tang San. His clothes were soaked through with sweat. Adjusting his organs and ribs along the way had brought severe pain. His face was pale, and even the mask on his face was covered with ayer of mist.


    "You should go back. I''ll be fine with everyone looking after me," Tang San said to Pretty Girl at the entrance of the hotel.


    Of course, he hoped Pretty Girl would take care of him, but he wasn''t sure what state he would be in when he healed his injuriester. If he identally dropped his mask, that would be socially disastrous. At least for now, he couldn''t let Pretty Girl know he was Tang San.


    Pretty Girl looked at him, then at the others, and nodded gently, "Then take care of yourself, and contact us anytime if you need anything."


    "Hmm, okay. You get some rest too."


    Tang San watched until Pretty Girl left before he entered the hotel with the help of Du Bai.


    In a low voice, Du Bai said, "Such a beautiful girl! Is that the one from the Peacock Demon n?" He had heard about Pretty Girl from Tang San.


    "Yes. That''s her," Tang San nodded.


    Zhang Haoxuan said, "She''s one of us too."


    All eyes turned to him as Zhang Haoxuan said, "She''s a Blue Level redemption from our Redemption Organization. The daughter of the Peacock Demon King, the heiress to the next patriarch. She''s also one of the most important existences in our organization right now." As he spoke these words, he had already enveloped their surroundings with his divine consciousness.


    The reason Tang San didn''t call him teacher when he saw Pretty Girl was precisely to avoid revealing his identity, which was another important reason he asked Pretty Girl to go back first.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Blue Level redemption? Hearing this term made everyone''s faces show signs of change, all the more so when they heard "the Peacock Demon n''s heiress". That was truly terrifying.


    "She''s human, isn''t she? How could...", Wu Bingji, who was alwaysposed, couldn''t help but look shocked.


    "That''s a long story. Anyway, just remember that all members of the Redemption Organization in Jiali City are to serve her in the future, helping her to control the Peacock Demon n and even Jiali City. This is the most important and biggest operation in our organization''s history. When the timees, the organization''s strongest members will alsoe here. We''re telling you now because this time might not be very long."


    While speaking, they had already gone upstairs and brought Tang San into his room.


    "I thought Xiao Tang had fallen for a great beauty, but it turns out to be a mission for our Redemption," Du Bai said as he closed the door, having a sudden realization.


    Tang San didn''t exin, letting Du Bai help him to the training room.


    Frowning, Zhang Haoxuan said, "If the injury is serious, don''t participate in theterpetitions."


    "Let''s see how it goes, I''ll try to heal first. Let''s see if I can recover quickly." Tang San could give up the individualpetition, but he definitely had to go through the pairpetition with Pretty Girl. In order to heal as quickly as possible, he would have to use his divine consciousness, no matter what.


    "Okay, then you heal up on your own, and call us if you need anything," Zhang Haoxuan said as he left with the rest. He still had to exin to the others about Pretty Girl''s ascent to the throne. He had chosen this moment to reveal it because the Peacock Demon King''s life may not be long for this world, and more importantly, these young people were growing quickly. Their current powers had just begun to qualify to get involved in this matter. They all needed to support Pretty Girl in the future, so it was essential to inform them about the general situation now.
