Three Forbidden Curse Spells, Traitors Within the City (Extra-Long Chapter)
Although Apas was arguing with Ling Ling, she was still a little dissatisfied when she came out. Looking at Tang Miao, she asked, "What did you feed Little Flame Ji? How did it suddenly become so much stronger?"
"Didn't I tell you? All the Totem Source Power underground was used as baby formula for Flame Ji," Tang Miao explained.
Looking at Apas's jealous little face, it's as if she's saying: Even though I'm not a daughter, I've still called him "Dad"!
"It's a darling of the elements. It broke through that limitation and had enough opportunities, so it's normal for it to improve quickly. Look at Little Black, it doesn't compete or fight for anything." Tang Miao shrugged and continued to reassure it.
Speaking of which, Little Black is having a lot of fun now; in its own world, it's practically a demon lord.
Of course, who could have known that this creature, which reigned supreme in the Summoning Plane, couldn't even serve as a mount in this world...?
Apas was clearly dissatisfied with this explanation, and she was also puzzled as to why, despite absorbing so much of Tang Miao's pure energy, her strength hadn't increased as quickly as Flame Ji's or Ying Sha's.
As for Ali, she simply ignored her.
There's nothing I can do; the other person is simply stronger than me...
But she was originally in charge, and now she suddenly feels like she's been demoted, which is very unpleasant for her!
If it weren't for so many people here, Apas would have had to drain Tang Miao dry to dispel his dissatisfaction.
The Sharkmen Chieftain was clearly no match for Shadow Fiend. Seeing that he was no match for him and that all his men had been wiped out, he immediately lost his will to fight.
Although Shadowfiend was clearly superior to it, killing it was obviously not an easy task.
Just as the other party was about to escape, Tang Miao, who had been comforting Apas, suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in the direction that the Sharkmen Chieftain was trying to flee.
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of humans, the Sharkmen Chieftain flew into a rage!
It had accepted being utterly defeated by a Dark Creature, but how dare this tiny human dare to block its path?
The Sharkmen Chieftain was ready to crush Tang Miao with a single blow and then flee from here.
Of course, this was just a tactical retreat. The Sharkmen Chieftain, who possessed a certain level of intelligence, certainly understood the principle of calling for backup when you can't win a fight.
Tang Miao showed utter disdain for the charging Sharkmen Chieftain.
He's just Sharkmen Chieftain's barely reached the Invincible Monarch level, yet he dares to dream of tearing me apart?
"God's Thunder Claw!"
However, since the other party actually wanted to tear him apart, Tang Miao naturally followed suit.
Lightning suddenly appeared around the Sharkmen Chieftain, and then, the power of the lightning tore bloody gashes across his Sharkmen Chieftain...
As the bloodstains piled up, the Sharkmen Chieftain's blood began to spill continuously...
It was only when blood began to flow from all over his body that the Sharkmen Chieftain realized... he was already within the enemy's attack range!!
"Rumble..."
At the same time, a bolt of divine lightning struck from the sky, and the Sharkmen Chieftain began to plummet from the heavens...
It just crashed to the ground with a loud "thud"...
A single strike was enough to instantly kill him.
Whether it's Supreme Monarch or an invincible monarch, it's no match for Tang Miao.
This scene left Ling Ling and the others speechless...
Now they understood why Tang Miao had simply torn through space and brought them here so casually.
So they completely disregard this Sharkmen Chieftain...
After killing the Sharkmen Chieftain, Tang Miao waited for about half an hour until Shadow Fiend's dark army had completely absorbed the souls of all the Sharkmen here. Only then did Tang Miao tear through space again and bring the group back to Moon Snow City.
Visiting a city claimed by Demon Beast was like going to a seafood market...
They easily wiped out a large group of sharkmen.
Upon returning to Moon Snow City, Tang Miao called Shao Zheng to explain the situation in Lanyang City.
When Shao Zheng learned of this, he was no longer surprised as before, but he still offered plenty of verbal praise.
As for the matter of the Earth Core, he didn't hide it and told Shao Zheng directly. However, he didn't intend to hand it over.
He knew the nation needed to ban curses.
However, one of his forbidden spells is equivalent to more than ten. Therefore, it's best to absorb this energy yourself.
Forbidden spells are like cancer; how can we let others contract such a disease?
He is a man who is selfless and dedicated.
Shao Zheng had no objection to this.
The Earth Core was something Tang Miao found, but it was also something someone else took from him. And frankly speaking, do you think you can just easily take what Tang Miao isn't willing to give up?
Secondly, even if the military leaders found out, they wouldn't say anything.
After all, they've already sponsored an Earth Core, haven't they!
The more powerful Tang Miao becomes, the better it is for Huaxia.
Although he may not seem to have much responsibility, he didn't back down when faced with a real crisis.
After Ling Ling and the others returned, they went to continue their research on the totem.
Speaking of Ling Ling, she's really busy these days. Not only does she have to search for totem clues every day, but she also has to meditate to improve her strength.
It was incredibly hard work, but the little girl seemed to be enjoying it all.
Zhao Manyan's trip wasn't in vain; he got what he wanted, like the edible baby shark. As for whether it actually was, he wasn't sure...
Jiang Shaoxu, of course, spent his time helping Ling Ling little girl Lingling study the totems.
Mu Bai also had his own mission: to be in charge of the defense of Fei Niao City.
Tang Miao originally intended to use the third forbidden spell to break through the Ice Element.
Since the Lightning Element directly bypassed the forbidden spell after enhancing it, then the innate ice soul should naturally be able to do the same.
Unfortunately, the fire element is too dominant, and the Ice Element may not be able to break through smoothly.
Given his frequent involvement in national wars and the immense power of his own Dark Legion, he felt that the Shadow Element seemed to be the most suitable element to transcend forbidden spells at present.
However, before he could break through, the fact that he had obtained the Earth Core became known to others.
Unfortunately, Tang Miao had a notorious reputation, and Zhao Jing, upon learning of this, ultimately decided against evacuating.
The fact that the Magic Association besieged Tang Miao was not unknown; these top aristocratic families were still able to find out some information about it.
Fire can't be hidden forever!
Whether people know it or not, Tang Miao's breakthroughs show no sign of stopping because of anyone.
He is unwavering in his determination to become stronger.
Moreover, since none of the top leaders in these countries have refused, what can others do? Furthermore, Tang Miao now enjoys immense prestige not only among the general public but also within the military...
Following the annihilation of a group of Shark People Race in Lanyang City, recently...
The Sea Monster, which had been stirring up trouble everywhere, also ceased their attacks and chose a temporary truce.
It could be because there are no Shark People Race left in Lanyang City, or it could be because the recent attacks have all resulted in heavy casualties.
Humans have become stronger. Once upon a time, several humans couldn't defeat a Sea Monster of the same level, but now they can handle one on their own...
Some powerful humans can even wipe out a large group with a single strike...
Fusion Magic is indeed an important factor in human progress.
Although Feng Zhoulong was not world-famous, at this time, everyone in Huaxia knew of his masterpiece.
Even the Asian Magic Association, as well as the Magic Association of the other four continents, wanted to obtain the configuration for this Fusion Magic...
Unfortunately, Feng Zhoulong didn't buy it at all.
He had now come to terms with it. Although humanity was united in the fight against Demon Beast, nations and factions were still engaged in open and covert struggles. Most importantly, the Magic Association of the four continents had recently besieged Tang Miao, so he would not agree to such a thing under any circumstances.
The numerous victories against the Sea Monster, and the ancient land of Huaxia, gave some people from Europe, America, Africa, and other continents a new understanding of this Asian Huaxia.
This country, with its millennia-old heritage, may seem unremarkable at first glance. In fact, many countries perceive it as weak.
But in this year of natural disasters and calamities, they suddenly realized that the land of Huaxia was truly immortal. Even the Sea Monster from the Pacific Ocean, who had been at war for a year, had not gained much advantage.
Even their previously shrunken territory is now expanding outwards again!
Indeed, after Tang Miao wiped out the Sea Monster Legion in the Magic Capital City base and the Shark People Race in Lanyang City, the generals stationed in the other base cities also launched counterattacks.
Although it was very risky, a fierce counterattack showed the people that the Sea Monster was not invincible!
The reason for launching the counterattack was, of course, because almost everyone in the coastal army was equipped with magical artifacts that Fusion Magic.
What were once separate fire mage guilds, lightning mage guilds, and Ice Mage guilds have now transformed into Fusion Magic mage guild with Dual Element!
An Intermediate Mage's Fusion Magic has power approaching that of a high-level spell, and if combined with Spirit Seed or something similar, it can even surpass High-level Magic.
A small team of ten people unleashed a Fusion Magic bombardment, which was almost in no way inferior to the Super Level Magic Super Level Mage!
The fusion of a hundred people into a group is equivalent to the power unleashed by a Super Level Mage equipped with a top-grade Soul Seed.
With such formidable power, how could humanity not retaliate?
The counterattack from the first base city immediately triggered a chain reaction.
The coastline that had been occupied by the Sea Monster had begun to be reclaimed by Huaxia.
Other countries bordering the Pacific also suffered from the invasion of the Sea Monster Dynasty. Although not as severe as Huaxia, it was by no means easy for them either.
Upon learning of Huaxia's numerous victories in the war, various countries naturally began to seek Huaxia's assistance.
Especially regarding the components for Fusion Magic, every country wants to receive sponsorship...
What they called a request for sponsorship was more like a threat. Several major powers and a few small countries jointly demanded the method for obtaining this configuration from Huaxia.
They even organized an eight-nation alliance.
Upon learning of this, Hua Zhanhong personally went to the meeting hall where they had invited the leaders of the Huaxia Army.
Hua Zhanhong went there and did only one thing, and afterwards, the alliance immediately fell apart...
As for what he did, Tang Miao didn't inquire, nor did he know, because he was still in seclusion at the moment...
Another month passed, and Tang Miao had completely mastered the darkness.
Three forbidden spells!
During this month, not only were international affairs chaotic and complicated, but a major event also occurred within Moon Snow City.
That is, Qin Yu'er has been taken away!
Since Qin Yu'er arrived in Moon Snow City, she has lived here peacefully and steadily.
Not long ago, news came from somewhere that Zhan Kong, also known as the Ancient King, had been captured and taken to the Holy City.
So, she went...
Because she was busy with affairs in Moon Snow City, Mu Ningxue was unaware of the situation. By the time she found out, Qin Yu'er had already left.
The person who delivered this message was a patrolling mage from Moon Snow City!
"This person refuses to reveal who's behind it all, but I think Qin Yu'er's departure might very well..." Although Mu Ningxue didn't receive any help from Qin Yu'er in this life, they didn't have much interaction either.
However, Mu Ningxue was aware of her background.
Knowing her situation, she naturally wanted her to stay here and live out her remaining years in peace.
But unexpectedly, a careless oversight led to her being tricked away...
"The person is there. Take them to the square in front of the city, and I'll go ask them." Actually, Tang Miao already had a guess in his mind, but he really didn't expect that there would be someone else's "dog" mixed in with the crowd in his territory.
But upon closer reflection, it's not a big deal. As their power grows, the number of half-hearted and half-hearted individuals will gradually increase. It's clearly unrealistic to expect everyone to be completely loyal.
But now that he has discovered the malignant tumor, he feels it is necessary to remind everyone in Moon Snow City.
"Okay." Mu Ningxue nodded without further ado and left.
In no time at all, the crowd had gathered in a huge square in Moon Snow City.
Even many patrolling mages came here.
Moreover, the patrolling mage's family was also brought here.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, except for a few "patrol" mages, Tang Miao stood before tens of thousands of people and said, "I never interfere in anything concerning Moon Snow City, but that doesn't mean I don't care about anything."
"Some of you came to join me because of some good deed I did, some because you saw the potential for development here, and quite a few because Moon Snow City rose to prominence in this base city. I treat you all equally."
"But what surprised me was that there were people who had been bribed on my own turf."
As he spoke, Tang Miao looked at the patrolling mage who had been escorted over.
"Master, I didn't, I really wasn't bribed. I just heard about it, and unfortunately Miss Qin found out... I really... uh..."
The patrolling mage was still trying to defend himself, but suddenly, Tang Miao's eyes turned completely dark, and he was instantly speechless.
Looking at his pale face, anyone could guess that he had suffered severe torture...
However, no one can see through it.
A moment later.
The patrolling mage, like a dying man, lay prostrate on the ground, weakly pleading, "Clan... Clan Master, it was... it was me... I was greedy... A mage from the Holy City gave me... Star Sea Vein... allowing me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the patrolling mage fainted.
Upon seeing this, his family members nearby immediately begged for mercy.
Tang Miao ignored this and instead looked at the captain of the patrolling mages, coldly asking, "These are your subordinates. What do you have to say about this?"
That patrol captain was also one of the first to arrive in Moon Snow City.
He was once a Hunter Mage in the Ancient Capital; the reason he came here is self-evident.
"Master, it is my incompetence that I am willing to be punished..." There was not a trace of fear in his eyes, only deep remorse.
"From today onwards, you will be demoted to a patrol mage and fined one month's worth of resources," Tang Miao said calmly.
The captain, who thought he was going to die, was stunned after hearing what Tang Miao said...
Tang Miao ignored his emotions and looked at everyone, saying directly, "Throw him into the Sea Monster Territory. Whether he lives or dies is up to fate. His family is expelled from Moon Snow City, and all their assets are confiscated."
"Yes."
Xu Zhaoting, who was in charge of enforcing the precepts, immediately agreed.
After dealing with one person and sending his family away, Tang Miao turned to the crowd and said, "Those who work diligently here will never be treated unfairly by Moon Snow City. Even if your families suffer the slightest harm, it is my incompetence, and you are free to criticize me. But I protected your loved ones, and you still accepted bribes; that will be your fate."
The monk in this family was punished, but the rest of the family, young and old, were truly ordinary people.
Where could they go after being expelled from Moon Snow City?
It could be said that they had already reached a dead end...
But no one said a bad word. Everyone knew that although this didn't count as betraying the family, it was close enough.
Moreover, Tang Miao's calm and collected way of dealing with people is truly terrifying...
Just as he said, saving people was just something he did on a whim. He never thought about saving anyone he didn't know, nor did he ever intend to protect anyone he had no connection with.
Those who truly dedicate themselves here are the ones he should protect.
Although many people don't believe Tang Miao could be such a cold-blooded person...
Little did they know that Tang Miao's act of saving people was merely for the sake of a battle; he simply couldn't stand the rampant and domineering behavior of Demon Beast.
After giving everyone a warning, Tang Miao left, leaving the matter entirely to Mu Ningxue.
He, however, was going to the Holy City!
To be honest, he never expected that he would be having a heart-to-heart talk with these high and mighty angels so soon.
Mu Ningxue actually wanted to go along, but Tang Miao disagreed, so she had to give up in the end.
Fei Lian, still well-preserved, seemed to know that Tang Miao was about to make a move, and flew out.
Fei Lian's enormous body already covered a quarter of the city. Seeing this gigantic Totem Beast, everyone realized that regardless of who Tang Miao was, he could indeed receive the best protection here, provided he didn't harbor any ulterior motives...
He was quite surprised that Fei Lian offered to be his mount. He hadn't originally planned to take it with him.
But since Fei Lian had chosen to come along, he couldn't very well refuse it.
Most importantly, without its own command, no one can control this thing. Rather than leaving it here to enjoy itself, it's better to ride it to the Holy City.
Only after the man and the bird left did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Even some of the captains and other mid-level members of Moon Snow City were shocked...
Their patriarch is up to no good again!
They wiped out Su Lu, the president of the Asian Magic Association, and less than half a year later, they're already heading to the Holy City again??
Honestly, a group of people are already considering leaving...
Although they knew Tang Miao was very strong, this time he was going to provoke the Holy City Angel!
Mu Ningxue knew the meaning behind Tang Miao's departure at this time. Instead of explaining, she said directly, "The patriarch is going to the Holy City this time. Moreover, he may offend the Holy City's angels. Whether Moon Snow City can continue to exist is uncertain. Everyone in the city is gathered here today. Those who wish to leave can leave now. Those who stay, you must think carefully... If the patriarch doesn't return, then Moon Snow City will be erased forever."
There are all sorts of birds in a big forest. Moon Snow City didn't restrict the number of people it accepted before, but now it seems that it's not a clear choice.
Since Tang Miao is going to the Holy City to cause trouble, those who are still willing to stay must truly consider this place their home.
Of course, the reason Mu Ningxue wasn't worried was because Tang Miao told her that she had an extremely powerful helper who could suppress angels, which was why she was so calm.
She knew Tang Miao very well; he would never do something so suicidal.
Moreover, it was Qin Yu'er who was tricked into going there. The Undead Emperor has probably heard the news, and he probably won't just stand by and watch something happen to Qin Yu'er.
Under these circumstances, Mu Ningxue naturally had nothing to worry about.
Tang Miao and Mu Ningxue had told them all this before they came here.
Tang Miao had just left the territory of Moon Snow City when he immediately received a call from Hua Zhanhong.
Honestly, at this moment, he really didn't want to receive a call from this kind of person. Because he found out too quickly—what did that mean?
Doesn't that prove that even the other side has people planted on his territory?
Although he knew this was inevitable, he was still somewhat annoyed.
Despite his annoyance, Tang Miao still answered the phone.
"Young Tang, are you sure you want to go to the Holy City?" Hua Zhanhong asked bluntly.
"Damn it, couldn't you at least try to hide it a little? I just got rid of one of the bribe-takers, and you're already calling?" Tang Miao said, displeased.
"Hahaha... Don't be so cocky, kid. I wasn't spying on you. It's Jiang Tianyuan's precious daughter who wanted her father's help, but he has his own things to do, so he had to come to me instead," Hua Zhanhong explained.
