Chapter 594: Long-Distance Teleportation

What the Ancestral Court did not expect was that this seemingly delicate girl would blast through walls and ride high waves to attain the championship in both the individual and the doubles competitions.

This was the first time the Ancestral Court Elite Competition had doubles matches! Naturally, Mei Gongzi was the first double champion, and it didn’t take much brainpower to understand that this was much more challenging than winning either of the titles alone. Throughout the tournament, she had no time to rest, facing strong opponents every day and constantly needing to win. Even one mishap or injury affecting performance could lead to elimination.

Yet, under such circumstances, Mei Gongzi had ultimately claimed the double championship crown, becoming the number one young talent among the demon and nymph races.

Such a talent inheriting the Celestial Plume meant what for the future? It meant that the next leader of the Peacock Demon clan might well become an Emperor once more.

The ones most unwilling to see this were the phoenix race. The peacocks and phoenixes had competed for the title of King of the Birds for many years, and the phoenixes had ultimately won. The phoenix race had two Demon Emperors right now, an incredible achievement. How could they willingly watch the Peacock Demon clan rise again?

Therefore, the entire Ancestral Court was instantly in turmoil when Mei Gongzi won her first championship. The Ancestral Court Council decided to sit and wait, though there were undercurrents and changes. Most remained observant, but some had their own ideas.

It was fully expected that once the awards ceremony was over, a fight would ignite once more. But at that moment, the Peacock Great Demon King, his daughter, and her partner all disappeared together. That was, of course, completely within expectations—only for those expectations to be overturned as those chasing them realized they had not, in fact, left the city!

Just as night began to fall, all the strong figures in the Ancestral Court felt a sudden burst of space energy, the likes of which they had never experienced, leaving everyone astonished. Such intense spatial fluctuations—it was clearly a long-distance teleportation, but what kind of distance was this? How could the Peacock Great Demon King possess such an ability? How did he manage to control that massive amount of energy and the resulting spatial fluctuations without being an Emperor?

Therefore, many top-tier experts came to the White Tiger Hotel, wanting to see if there were any clues left behind.

However, the White Tiger Demon Emperor, filled with fierce killing intent, would not allow anyone to approach. The White Tiger Hotel was his property, and with him guarding it, no one could get close unless they wanted to confront him directly.

The unwelcome guests dispersed, and the White Tiger Demon Emperor's eyes flickered. The next moment, he was in the room where Tang San had stayed.

Even though the people had left, the room still retained extremely intense spatial fluctuations; space itself seemed twisted and illusory, though the aftereffects were slowly dissipating.

The floor bore burnt marks, as well as a number of items that clearly showed what had been done here—gems, metals, and crisscrossing lines on the floor, now severely damaged and beyond repair.

The Peacock Great Demon King had used the power of an array to teleport away quickly. But when and how did he acquire such an array? The remaining traces showed it was incredibly complex. Even the Ancestral Court had not mastered such techniques.

Silently feeling the changes in the space elemental energy, memorizing the peculiarities of these spatial fluctuations, the White Tiger Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes, showing a contemplative expression.

While the Ancestral Court was shocked by the long-distance teleportation, somewhere extremely far away, intense silver light surged. In the next moment, three figures appeared out of nowhere and landed quietly in the middle of the wilderness.

The Peacock Great Demon King released spatial power, enveloping Tang San and Mei Gongzi as they floated down. His eyes could not hide his excitement.

Because he had the most powerful space manipulation abilities of his time, his feelings were the most profound.

During the recent teleportation, he distinctly felt spatial changes he had never experienced before. It was a wonderful process of integrating with space and gently folding it before crossing through the folds rather than using brute force to tear open a channel to the destination.

The feeling of merging with space was something he had never experienced before, and it was truly wonderful. He even had some enlightenment from it. After being severely injured, this was the first time he had the thought of wanting to live longer. If he could frequently observe such spatial changes, he might touch that threshold in the near future! Achieving the rank of Demon Emperor by mastering space would be extraordinary. By then, how could the Crystal Phoenix possibly threaten him?

However, no matter how he thought about it, it could only be a fleeting thought. He knew very well that he couldn't survive. The injuries sustained after burning his essence had shattered his spirit core and damaged the essence of his bloodline, causing his life essence to continuously drain away.

As he turned to look at his daughter, there was even a hint of envy in his eyes. If he had a protector and mentor like Asura back in the day, how could he have fallen to this state? He might have accumulated power and made a name for himself in one fell swoop.

"City Lord, we need to hurry and continue teleporting. We should return to Kali City as soon as possible."

Tang San's voice snapped the Peacock Great Demon King out of his thoughts. He nodded.

"Alright, I'll recover a bit, and then we'll start again."

There was no way to set up another teleportation array; it would take too long, giving the opposing forces from the Ancestral Court time to catch up. But he could still teleport with his own power. Although the distance would be shorter, it would still be much faster than flying.

Mei Gongzi looked at Tang San and saw the seriousness in his eyes. Remembering what the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor had said before, her heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Big Brother, are you alright? Should I use the Celestial Plume to sense the changes in the future?" Mei Gongzi asked.

"No," Tang San immediately and decisively refused. He would never let Mei Gongzi use the Celestial Plume like that. The backlash was unpredictable, even for someone like him, and if a major issue arose, it would be disastrous. After going through so much to find his beloved, he couldn't let her take such a risk.

The Peacock Great Demon King calmed his mind and focused on recovering from the earlier consumption, silently sensing their location at the same time. By observing the stars, he could roughly determine their current position and decide the direction for the next teleportation.

A quarter of an hour later, the Peacock Great Demon King gathered his strength and said in a deep voice, "Prepare, we are setting off again."

The previous long-distance teleportation had taken a significant toll on him, even accelerating the loss of his life essence. But at this moment, there was no time to worry about that. They needed to return to Kali City first. Mei Gongzi's double championship would garner more support in the city, and he had to take them back and firmly establish Mei Gongzi as the new clan leader if he wanted to continue his plans.

Huge silver-white wings unfolded from the back of the Peacock Great Demon King; peacock plumes appeared one by one, transforming into swirling silver light. Dense spatial fluctuations surrounded the three of them, forcibly opening a spatial passage that extended into the distance.

Silver light flickered in the Peacock Great Demon King's eyes as he prepared to initiate the teleportation.
