Old Man Bao Returns
Looking at Zhan Kong before her, or rather, at the "Ancient King" who was now another soul, Qin Yu'er understood: Zhan Kong was truly gone...
Her heart ached terribly... The only person in the world who was truly sincere to her was gone...
For a moment, Qin Yu'er truly wished she could remain frozen indefinitely; perhaps that would be better for her...
Unfortunately, these are just thoughts we can only dream about...
In this world, how many things can truly go exactly as planned?
The Ancient King, now occupying the body, naturally didn't care whether Qin Yu'er was sad or not. Of course, he also chose to protect her, because the person currently inside the body had a truly strong will.
"Boy, are you saying I should go to other countries?"
Tang Miao didn't respond, but instead asked, "You are the one who unified the land of Huaxia. After doing something that everyone admires and that is the greatest, do you really want to destroy it?"
"Hehe..."
The Ancient King found it somewhat amusing, then said with a hint of sarcasm, "It seems you are not so much a savior after all. I am truly curious, since the Qilin and the Azure Luan Fire Phoenix are both Sacred Totem, why did they choose to lend you a hand?"
Tang Miao remained unfazed by his sarcasm. "I've never thought about saving the world. The affairs of other countries have absolutely nothing to do with me. If you have the ability, go ahead and try. You can't become the King of the Underworld; at worst, you'll just be destroyed."
The Ancient King scoffed, "Hmph, throughout the entire world, whether human or demon, there is no one who can destroy me."
As long as Sha Yuan exists, he is immortal. So too are the Eight Directions Army of the Dead under his command.
Although he didn't explain, Tang Miao didn't question it at all.
"Unfortunately, even if I wanted to take action, my current strength is insufficient to leave the Huaxia..."
"Moreover, once I lead the undead army away, the demons of Qinling will likely no longer be obedient."
"There are far too many things in this world that cannot be controlled at all times. This was true even when I was alive, let alone now."
Seemingly because he discovered the Qilin within Tang Miao's body, as well as the flames of the Azure Luan Fire Phoenix he inherited, the Ancient King surprisingly spoke a few words.
He did not deny this, saying that most things in the world are not as one wishes.
After saying a few words, Zhan Kong regained control of the body.
From beginning to end, Tang Miao only knew the tip of the iceberg. As for the future, he could only wait and see.
In the end, Zhan Kong still left Qin Yu'er here.
Moreover, he told Tang Miao that as long as he had a shred of consciousness, he would not allow the dead to invade the human world.
Upon returning to Hangzhou, Tang Miao was filled with doubt...
If the Ancient King truly needed the lives of millions to sacrifice for his resurrection, then what he did today was likely a wrong choice.
Upon arriving in Hangzhou, after returning the Dark Serpent to West Lake, Tang Miao went to see Tang Yue and told her about everything that had happened in the past few days.
Upon learning this, Tang Yue simply reached out and gave Tang Miao a hug. "I've met Instructor Zhan Kong before, and right now, we have no choice but to trust him."
Tang Miao nodded, recalling the oppressive look in that gaze, and thought to himself, "Strength, it all comes down to strength!"
There aren't that many right and wrong answers in the world; might makes right.
After spending half a day with Tang Yue, Tang Miao returned to Magic Capital.
Upon returning, Tang Miao went straight to the Qingtian Hunter Agency...
However, Old Man Bao still hadn't returned; only Leng Qing and Ling Ling were inside the Hunter Station.
The two sisters were genuinely curious about Tang Miao's search for Old Man Bao. They couldn't understand what kind of shady deal the two had struck!
Unfortunately, Tang Miao didn't seem inclined to say anything.
Although the two sisters were very dissatisfied, they were helpless against him.
Later, Tang Miao heard that Salang seemed to have escaped from Chongming Island. Although he vaguely remembered this, he had fainted at the time.
Even if I knew after waking up, it would be completely useless.
He had no interest in getting involved in the Judgment Society's search for the Black Vatican there; after all, what Salang's men were researching was truly terrifying.
It's not that the opponent is particularly strong, it's just that you can't defend against their attacks.
Making money is a good thing, but losing your life because you can't make money is just too much of a loss. Although he has Demon Element connection, some poisons can't harm him.
However, he knew he couldn't do anything by going alone. After all, the Black Vatican was a master of concealment, so he simply ignored this windfall.
After staying for a while, Tang Miao left. As for how to handle the Black Vatican matter, that was left to the Judgment Society and some Hunter Mage to deal with.
Time flies. The Huaxia National Team seems to have already completed the challenge of the second National Pavilion and arrived at a new trial ground, where personnel adjustments will be necessary.
However, he didn't have much to worry about.
His position as a formal team member is absolutely unshakeable. Mu Ningxue's strength is also among the best in the team, so there won't be any problems with her either. As for Jiang Shaoxu, a Mind Element mage with an extremely powerful background, there's even less to worry about.
As for Zhao Manyan, even if he doesn't make it into the official team, he'll still be a good substitute.
With nothing else to do, he would sit in the National Pavilion and oversee things. With him on board, almost no country ever obtained their National Pavilion Chapter.
Of course, there are also some powerful countries that won three out of five battles.
In situations like this, he had no choice... After all, he couldn't always rely on fighting three or four opponents at once, could he?
While guarding the National Pavilion, she also enjoyed Mu Nujiao, and their life was quite happy. Moreover, after spending these days together, she hadn't been so cold anymore; after all, they had come together and gone together...
Of course, there's still little chance of them sleeping together.
Moreover, when the two women were together, he was still very sensible and didn't get too ambiguous with the other one.
Mu Nujiao was used to occasionally playing around with the Big Rabbit Rabbit.
Before I knew it, my first dream from when I was sharing an apartment had already come true. As for giving each of us one, that still requires some work.
Another half month passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, the long-lost Old Man Bao returned!
After receiving the call from Old Man Bao, Tang Miao hurriedly headed towards Qingtian Hunter Agency.
Upon arriving at the Qingtian Hunter Agency, Old Man Bao, holding the bead, looked at Tang Miao and immediately began to complain, "You rascal, you've really given this old man a lot of trouble! I purified the Evil Qi, made some modifications, and even had to ask a friend of mine in the military..."
