The Ancestral Court Imperial Guard are all selected from the Emperor's Race, being exceptionally outstanding individuals. Tang San still remembered what Pretty Girl had told him; when she first climbed, she was greeted by the Phoenix Guards of the Tianyu Empire, who were from the lineage of the Undying Great Demon Emperor. However, the reception Tang San received this time was incomparably higher; he was personally escorted by the Tianyang Spirit King, which was indeed the highest honor.
Guarded by the Ancestral Court Imperial Guard on both sides of the stone steps leading up the mountain, as soon as they saw Tang San and the Tianyang Spirit King approaching, they immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully saluted. This salute was clearly for the Tianyang Spirit King. Tang San could even feel their astonishment. These guards must have been informed of his visit today, but they surely did not expect the Tianyang Spirit King himself to personally escort him.
