Chapter 937: Mei Gongzi Has Arrived
Walking amidst the crowd, Tang San suddenly sensed something. His gaze turned sharply in a particular direction. A carriage procession was heading toward the White Tiger Grand Hotel.
When he saw the emblem of the Peacock Demon clan on the carriage, his eyes immediately lit up. Without hesitation, he extended his divine consciousness in that direction.
"How dare you!" A stern voice rang out from the procession. A flash of silver light burst forth, startling the bystanders and sending them scattering to the sides of the street.
The noble demons and nymphs present were all powerhouses in their own right, and they were even more sensitive to the aura of the figure that emerged from the carriage. Moreover, the city lord insignia on the vehicle made it clear: This was the lord of a main city. Regardless of where they were from, that status alone demanded respect. It explained why the procession had been allowed to enter the Ancestral Court so smoothly.
When Tang San saw the figure rise into the air, a smile crept onto his face. He immediately withdrew his divine consciousness. He was back in the guise of Jin Miaolin, so he kept his appearance thoroughly concealed.
Suspended mid-air was Luo Qingzhu, her beautiful eyes gleaming with sharpness. As a peak eleventh-order powerhouse, she had immediately sensed the divine consciousness sweep just now. It had been strong—very strong—which triggered her caution. Even if the one behind it was an Emperor, such bold probing was a clear act of intrusion, an offense toward a city lord's procession. It went beyond normal rudeness and well into the territory of a diplomacy failure.
But now, to her surprise, the probing divine consciousness had vanished completely, without a trace. She couldn't even lock onto its source. The precision of that control made her even more vigilant. Whoever it was, they were at least as strong as her, and indeed, there was a distinct possibility of them being an Emperor.
Meanwhile, Tang San continued walking calmly through the crowd, smiling faintly. With so many eyes around, he didn't try to approach. He simply tightened his hood and slipped a communication device into his ear, attempting a connection.
—Was that you just now? a familiar voice snapped as soon as it connected.
