Chapter 874: The Guest House
Jin Chengwu said, "Since you are heading to the Ancestral Court to report, you should be able to meet His Majesty then."
"That’s true, that’s true." Tang San nodded and said, "In that case, we’ll trouble you by staying in Adamant City for a day. We’ll continue our journey tomorrow. Please, Deputy City Lord, lead the way."
Jin Chengwu looked at Tang San, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. Did he not make himself clear? Was his subtle suggestion for them to leave too vague, or was the other party just pretending not to understand?
But no matter how he felt, Tang San was the Lord of Skytree City and the leader of the Blue Gold Tree clan. Even before the Ancestral Tree’s awakening, such a visit couldn’t be turned away. Just like visiting unannounced was a breach of the Ancestral Court’s rules, whoever rejected a sanctioned visit would be held in contempt by the Ancestral Court.
Thus, despite its reluctance, Jin Chengwu had no choice but to step aside and gesture for Tang San to enter. "If Your Highness doesn’t mind our meager conditions, please come into the city to rest."
Tang San smiled faintly and said, "Adamant City is famed for its wealth—I believe that your conditions would only be too good for us. Please, lead the way, Deputy City Lord."
As he spoke, he moved to Jin Chengwu’s side and they flew toward Adamant City. The elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan and the three Adamant Nymph Kings followed closely behind.
Jin Chengwu landed outside Adamant City, following the rule that no one apart from Emperors may fly over a major city without permission. Naturally, Tang San didn’t mind and followed Jin Chengwu through the city gates into Adamant City.
Entering Adamant City felt like stepping into another world for the elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan. The life energy inside the city was noticeably weaker compared to the outside, but the elemental energy was incredibly rich. There was energy of all attributes, and upon closer inspection, it became clear that it came from the buildings themselves. Each structure emitted varying levels of elemental energy, with a strange yet dynamic mix.
