Finding the Reason to Seek Power

Tang Miao had already disappeared into the vast white fog.

Although the area is shrouded in mist, finding Fei Lian is not difficult.

Its massive body lay sprawled at the edge of the crater, seemingly trying to fill it in?

Judging from its aura, it was clear that the opponent was on the verge of death.

However, he saw absolutely no sign of submission in its enormous eyes.

But he had no time to teach it, and directly summoned the Qilin.

If Fei Lian were alive and well, perhaps the Qilin wouldn't be able to control it. After all, even though the Qilin has received a lot of power, it is still just a soul.

But now, with Fei Lian on the verge of death, wouldn't that be an easy task for Qilin to handle?

A beam of light emanated from the jade and enveloped Fei Lian's body. As the light shone upon him, he visibly shrank rapidly.

Once it shrank completely, the light formed a Totem Vessel. Tang Miao then placed it directly inside.

Regardless of whether Fei Lian was willing or not, it couldn't refuse at this point.

Moreover, if you've already beaten it to the ground and it still doesn't know what's good for it, then you'll just have to give it the chance to become nourishment, just like the cunning one!

At night, in an ice cave, a group of people sat around a fire.

"You didn't come here to seek help from the Totem Beast... You're practically conquering by force," Jiang Shaoxu said, sitting to Tang Miao's left.

They claimed to be looking for a totem to protect Huaxia, but unexpectedly, Tang Miao ended up fighting with them as soon as he arrived? And he was beaten to a pulp...

As a girl who likes ancient creatures like totems, she was naturally somewhat dissatisfied.

"Most totems without guardians have become wild. Rather than letting them one day turn against humanity, it's better for me to subdue them now and assign them a suitable guardian."

"Although the method is a bit simple and crude, isn't it practical?"

"Besides, I didn't kill it. Even if it recovers more slowly inside this Totem Vessel, it's still better than leaving it in this icy place to die."

Tang Miao could understand Jiang Shaoxu's feelings.

But in this world, are there really so many principles?

If we're being reasonable, he shouldn't have come to Tianshan at all, and even if he did, he shouldn't have gone looking for it.

"Tang Miao is not wrong."

Nan Jue interjected, then looked at Tang Miao and asked, "But, if you treat it like this, aren't you afraid that it might turn against your own people when you use it again?"

Without the constraints of a contract or any other restrictions, who knows whether Fei Lian will help or turn against them after he recovers?

"What you're saying, how could I not understand? But don't worry, since I didn't kill it, I'm confident I can tame it."

Tang Miao wasn't really confident; he was just hoping that during this time, the Qilin would exert more pressure on it.

In any case, Fei Lian can't resist now.

Moreover, with his fists so strong, Tang Miao didn't believe that this fool would choose to go against him.

"Tang Miao, I want to know, what do you want to do with so many Totem Beasts?" Just then, Ai Jiangtu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

His expression was serious, as if he were deep in thought about something.

"Finding a totem is naturally to enhance one's own power and strength," Tang Miao replied bluntly.

"If one day you had enough power, what would you do?" Ai Jiangtu asked again.

"Saying it's for the prosperity of the country is clearly not relevant to me. After all, it's always been Ning Xue who's been managing Moon Snow New City."

Seeing his serious expression, and considering the matter he asked, Tang Miao already understood what Ai Jiangtu was thinking about.

However, he made no attempt to hide anything, and continued, "As for power and such, they are not important to me. I live my life simply to be free. But to be truly free, one must possess absolute power. And what I pursue is that absolute power."

"You don't want to be bound, but if everyone thought like you, wouldn't the world be in chaos?" Ai Jiangtu said.

"Hey, Captain Ai, you don't need to tell me all this. I understand everything you're saying. But if I do nothing, have no background, and rely solely on my current destructive magic, do you think the Holy Court of Judgment, that brain-dead organization, will let me survive?"

"I was already being targeted by them when the National Prefecture Competition ended. Unfortunately, at that time, they were afraid of the demonic power within me, and given the Leng Jue incident, they chose to put it aside."

"But the power of demons is not necessarily permanent, nor can it be used at any time. I don't like living like a rat, so I can only keep getting stronger, and I also need to have a supporting force. I want those politicians to think twice before inviting me for tea!"

"As for the international laws of this world, frankly speaking, they are just shackles placed on people without background or power. No matter what country or place, if a powerful clan wants to kill someone, these shackles are useless. Moreover, how many organizations in the world are currently supposedly working for the people, but all they care about are their own rights and interests..."

"I don't want to stop them from doing anything; I just want my peace. And if we really want to use world laws to bind people, then the one in power must first make their stance clear."

It was rare to see Tang Miao speak so many facts so seriously, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

Ai Jiangtu hadn't really thought that far ahead; he hadn't considered the international situation at all, only the domestic one.

But after hearing Tang Miao's words, Ai Jiangtu suddenly realized that he had been narrow-minded...

"But don't worry, I'm not some heinous criminal. I still strictly abide by the laws of this country. Besides, soldiers shouldn't get involved in politics, so I advise you not to think about useless things. Defending the territory is what you need to do."

Ai Jiangtu paused for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps I'm overthinking it, but as a brother who's been through thick and thin with me, I still hope you'll never do anything that would cause turmoil in the country..."

You're overthinking it.

If Tang Miao wanted power, he certainly wouldn't be living such a carefree and leisurely life now.

Besides, he's not cut out for it!

He can't even manage Moon Snow New City, how can he boss around a whole country?

Besides, isn't it better to be a hands-off manager? Worrying about the country and its people all day long is exhausting.

As for the idea that if everyone possessed the power to transcend limitations, society would descend into chaos, that's utter nonsense. If everyone had Tang Miao's strength, would humanity still be confined to the Safe Zone?
