676. Parting Ways

Zhao Manyan understood this, and the other members of the National Government naturally understood it as well.

But to be honest, Tang Miao acted somewhat impulsively...

And the reason they came up with for this is a bit weak, isn't it?

"Tang Miao, you killed him just because of one sentence he said?"

Ai Jiangtu and the others knew the truth, but Hunter King Yasen was unaware. Looking at him, Yasen said, "Young man, your strength is indeed formidable; even I am humbled. But do you know that he was hired by someone from the Zhao family in your country?"

"I think you should consider charging towards Tianshan. I killed him not just because he was a smart aleck, but also for personal reasons." After the Dark Energy devoured them, Tang Miao's murderous aura instantly dissipated.

The short-lived league had barely been formed when, who could have imagined that one team would be eliminated so quickly...?

Although everyone came to risk their lives in search of treasure, they weren't killed by Demon Beast, but rather by their own teammates. This inevitably led to some ulterior motives...

"Whatever your reason, we've just formed an alliance, and you've already attacked your own people... So I'm sorry, you can't stay here any longer," Hunter King Arsen said to Tang Miao.

"In that case, you guys go ahead, we'll get up there by our own means." With that, Tang Miao turned and walked towards Ai Jiangtu and the others.

Ai Jiangtu glanced at Nan Jue, Nan Jue nodded, and then they left together with Tang Miao.

As for Hunter King Arsen, he led the remaining men and began their assault on the mountain's glacial snowfields.

Tang Miao stopped after walking only a few steps.

Seeing Tang Miao stop, the group was somewhat puzzled. Shouldn't they have turned back at this point? Although the treasures up there were very tempting, without the main force, it would be difficult for them to make it up.

"Boss Tang, you really don't need to do this..." Zhao Manyan said at this moment.

"Killing him was just a side effect, and besides, I didn't really intend to drag you all back the way we came," Tang Miao said, leading the group back to their previous location.

"You don't mean we should rush up there now, do you?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"No, no, no, there's no rush," Tang Miao shook her head.

The others were puzzled, not understanding what Tang Miao meant.

"Bang!!"

Just as they were making good progress, the Monarch Level Extreme Cold Ancient Eagle appeared. Immediately afterwards, with a loud bang, a large hole appeared in the frozen lake in front of them. The lake water, still slightly warm, splashed into the air, but after only a few seconds of contact with the outside air, it froze into ice beads and then crisply fell onto the frozen lake surface.

From the hole, a white Maggot Demon emerged, its body still submerged beneath the frozen lake, while its head, with its gaping maw, protruded outwards.

Its body was maggot-like, but its skin was layered on top of each other. As Hunter King Arsen and the others approached the center of the Heavenly Pool, this white maggot demon suddenly opened its devouring esophagus!

"Just how many monsters has this Tianshan Mountain Pool fattened up? And what is this thing?" Zhao Manyan asked, utterly astonished.

"It's the Tianshan Ancient Insect King. It's said to feed on the Extreme Cold Ancient Eagle and the Tianshan Demon Tiger, but it's obvious that this guy is looking to change his tastes. Most Demon Beast are more interested in humans," Nan Jue said.

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble..."

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble..."

Just then, a loud tremor came from the multi-layered mountain ridge, forcing Ai Jiangtu and the others to look in that direction.

"Damn, these beasts actually possess such cunning intelligence?" Zhao Manyan said, slightly shocked.

"I'm suddenly somewhat relieved that we didn't rush up with them." Jiang Yu no longer wanted to go up; even they might not have been able to withstand that kind of impact.

"Yeah, I think so too. Maybe we should head back..."

"What retreat? If we don't make it to the glacier, can we even say we've come to Tianshan?" Tang Miao said with a hint of disdain.

"You're not still thinking of charging in, are you? With just the few of us?" Although Guan Yu wasn't the type to be cowardly, the scene before him was truly awe-inspiring.

To be honest, he no longer had the courage to continue...

The onslaught of the beast tide caused heavy losses to the mages of several mercenary groups...

Unfortunately, the beast tide, which was originally meant to be food, is now being completely ignored by the Extreme Cold Ancient Eagle, and is instead causing great trouble for the mercenary group.

Since Zhao Kang's group had been wiped out by Tang Miao, the mercenary group that rushed in actually didn't have many capable fighters left...

Watching the mercenaries die one by one, and the beast tide surge forward, with only the Extreme Cold Ancient Eagle still fighting them, Tang Miao hugged Ling Ling and said, "Come with me, I'll clear the way!"

"Tang Miao, you're not really thinking of just the few of us rushing in, are you?" Nan Jue also felt that this was a bit rash.

They could also help deal with the land-based creatures.

But among these powerful Feather Demon, very few are capable of fighting.

"You just need to make sure you don't get caught by those swarms of birds. Leave the clearing the way to me." With that, Tang Miao charged straight upwards.

The group didn't have much time to hesitate. Since someone had already taken charge of clearing the way, and besides, they hadn't even set foot on the Tianshan glaciers, how could they claim to have actually been to the Tianshan?

Within the alliance's mercenary group, everyone naturally noticed Tang Miao and his group's charge.

However, no one had any particular thoughts about it, since many Extreme Cold Ancient Eagle had flown towards them because of their appearance!

This greatly reduced the pressure on them!

"Everyone, let's charge forward with all our might!" Hunter King Arsen shouted as he saw the opportunity.

As for the National Team's outcome, what does that have to do with us?

"This is bad! We've attracted half of the Extreme Cold Ancient Eagle, making things much easier for them. If they charge in, we'll be the prey!" Nan Jue said, his voice trembling slightly as he looked at the approaching Extreme Cold Ancient Eagle.

If that happens, it won't do them any good at all...

"Sky Flame Funeral!"

Tang Miao, who was rushing at the front, suddenly leaped up, and the constellation was formed almost instantly.

Normally, Fire Element power would be suppressed in such a cold and damp place, but Tang Miao's flames remained incredibly hot!

Fire rained down from the sky. Although the Extreme Cold Ancient Eagle that flew in tried to avoid it, the fire rain suddenly exploded when it landed near them!

In an instant, hundreds of Extreme Cold Ancient Eagle were ignited by the rain of fire, their enormous bodies falling onto the mountainside.

Nan Jue, who was just worried, twitched his lips slightly after seeing this scene and said, "It seems he hasn't fused with Flame Ji, has he?"
