Angels Were Not Simple (Extra-Large Chapter)

"Haha, of course I knew! I knew you couldn't do that..."

Tang Miao, who was initially quite annoyed, felt somewhat relieved after hearing Hua Zhanhong's explanation.

And without saying a word, he immediately showered her with flattery...

"Alright, kid, stop fooling around with me. Have you thought this through before you go to the Holy City? Qin Yu'er might just be bait, bait to lure the Undead Emperor, also known as the Ancient King, there." Hua Zhanhong didn't mince words and asked directly.

He could understand Tang Miao's displeasure. His own family actually had people who could be bribed, and possibly even people from other forces. Any family head would be extremely unhappy about this.

However, going to the Holy City is indeed a bit dangerous.

The angels had long wanted Tang Miao.

As for the Undead Emperor, Hua Zhanhong wasn't sure if, after so much time, the soul had truly still Zhan Kong.

If it weren't for Zhan Kong, would it be possible for Qin Yu'er alone to get the other party to go?

"I know that, but although Zhan Kong can be quite unreasonable at times, he doesn't hesitate to sacrifice himself. Based on that alone, how can I ignore the only person he can't let go of?"

He was genuinely quite unhappy about Zhan Kong's lack of resistance in the Holy City and his death in a foreign land, as depicted in the original story.

But after experiencing this world firsthand, he slowly realized that Zhan Kong didn't resist simply because he didn't want the world to descend into chaos because of someone who had already become an undead.

The seven angels are messengers under God; they are the true rulers of the human world.

Even the Holy Court of Judgment, the Heterodox Court, and the Magic Association originated from angels?

However, the Magic Association has gradually undergone some changes as representatives from each continent have been elected worldwide. But those who truly control this world are still the angels.

He only gradually learned about it after returning from a battle with the Magic Association.

The Magic Association established the Magic Covenant, but its founding was not due to the Magic Association's immense power.

It's because there are angels who can counter forbidden spells!

No forbidden spell could possibly be a match for an angel.

Their angelic radiance exists specifically to counter forbidden spells.

Of course, things are not always absolute.

For example, Su Lu back then, although he relied on the power of the Dark King, his own strength had already reached its peak.

Unlike the angels who ascended to the pinnacle in one step, these people's strength was cultivated step by step.

Angels transcend forbidden spells, and so does Tang Miao.

Whether it's lightning, fire, or even Shadow Element, there's no such thing as Divine Seed, but when the power of the Shadow Fiend clan is combined with his, it still surpasses forbidden spells.

To be honest, my promotion this year has been like a rocket launch.

After several life-or-death battles, he gained a great deal!

Silence fell on the other end of the phone...

Zhan Kong was Hua Zhanhong's disciple, and he knew about Zhan Kong and Qin Yu'er's affair. However, due to the tyranny of the Heterodox Court, even he was powerless to resist or protect anything...

In their eyes, magic that transcends normal existence is heresy!

And these people, who are heretics themselves, are the ones who punish.

Why they did this is obvious to everyone.

Isn't it because you're afraid that one day someone like Tang Miao will appear?

Pity...

He still showed up!

"I understand... But, Tang boy, I have to tell you. We can protect you in Huaxia, but once you leave the country, whatever you do abroad, we old guys are powerless to help you with your life or death." Hua Zhanhong paused for a moment before continuing.

"Don't worry, I value my life and know how to do what I can. If things go wrong, I'll turn around and leave immediately," Tang Miao said truthfully.

With so many stunningly beautiful "girlfriends" around him, how could he risk his life for someone else's grievances?

He dared to go to the Holy City for two reasons: first, he planned to bring the Black Dragon along; second, Shaja was in the Holy City.

Most importantly, immortality, rebirth from the ashes... Three forbidden spells, how powerful will it be after the demons?

He was really curious!

After hanging up the phone, Tang Miao continued his journey towards the Holy City.

After hanging up the phone, Hua Zhanhong issued a call to action!

He decided to take action against this Sea Emperor.

Instead of worrying about these trivial matters, it's better to take the initiative.

He might not have had the confidence to kill Emperor before, but now it's different.

The number of Sea Monster was simply too great; unless their ruler, the Emperor, was killed, the war would continue indefinitely.

The regions occupied by Demon Beast are rich in resources, far exceeding those of humans.

If the war drags on, humanity may not be able to compete with the Sea Monster... Most importantly, it's not just the Sea Monster that are troubling humanity!

The Land Demon are also stirring with activity.

As Tang Miao was about to cross the domestic border, he suddenly sensed a sinister aura.

Fei Lian noticed it as well.

Stop.

Knowing that something was chasing after them, Tang Miao told Fei Lian to stop.

Now that they've tracked him all the way here, he's quite curious to know who it could be.

This aura is clearly not something a "person" could possess.

But for a moment, he really couldn't figure it out.

"Buzz~~~"

Just as he was pondering this, the space rippled, and then the Ancient King (Zhan Kong) appeared before him.

Tang Miao was puzzled by the fact that this guy, who should be in the underworld, had suddenly appeared here.

"Tell me, are you Zhan Kong or the Ancient King?"

Tang Miao had always been puzzled by the soul of the guy in front of him.

Logically, Zhan Kong's soul should have been completely consumed when he put on this Armor Robe.

But regarding the matters of the Ancient Capital and the Northern Border, he clearly handled them in the manner that a person should.

Furthermore, it restrained the spirits from causing trouble in the Ancient Capital, and the Ancient Capital, where wars had raged for thousands of years, came to a complete halt after that event.

But despite being described as someone who wields the power to Zhan Kong, he possesses the bearing of an Emperor.

That somewhat slovenly-looking head instructor doesn't seem to possess the necessary qualifications, does he?

The Ancient King didn't respond, only staring at Tang Miao with his empty eyes, and sighed, "I never imagined that in just a few years you would have grown to this level. Even I, back then, was no more than this..."

"So, you are Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng?" Tang Miao continued to ask.

"It always has been."

"But why do you sometimes Zhan Kong so easily?" Tang Miao asked, puzzled.

"Because the soul I awakened was merely a wisp, while his mind was more resolute. This Armor Robe contains both me and him. Or rather, I am him, and he is me. Sometimes his thoughts fill my mind."

"The affairs of the living should no longer be my concern, but this woman, in particular, seems to be more important than his own life."

Tang Miao seemed to understand what he was saying?

But it also seems like they don't understand...

"Go back. This is my business, it has nothing to do with you. The issues between the Holy City Angel and me are none of your concern." The Ancient King waved his hand and said, offering no further explanation.

"Ha... Are you kidding me?"

Tang Miao showed no intention of leaving, but instead thought of his death... and continued, "I must go to the Holy City. If you don't want to live that day and want to continue sleeping, then I will send you on your way. The angels of the Holy City are not worthy!"

The Ancient King clearly hadn't expected Tang Miao to say that.

In truth, he didn't take this Holy City seriously either.

The angels transcended and restrained forbidden spells, but ultimately they could only suppress human forbidden spells.

But in the presence of Emperor, their so-called restraint and strength are truly nothing.

The realm of Emperor is an extremely difficult threshold to cross.

In this world, apart from True Dragon who can easily cross this threshold without any hindrance, it is extremely difficult for other creatures to cross this step.

Even though dragons are powerful, they are only slightly more powerful than Emperor.

After the rise of Emperor, dragons were no longer the supreme beings above Demon Beast.

They are not dragon-like demons. Although those who advance to the Emperor can be said to have transformed into dragons, they are not dragons, but they are no less than dragons.

However, True Dragon are few in number, and Demon Beast capable of surpassing the Emperor realm are also extremely rare...

Emperor were practically gods!

Therefore, the Ancient King, as a human who transformed into a god, and a spirit of the dead, far surpassed even angels who could ascend to godhood in one fell swoop.

Of course, he also knew that not all angels were weak; some were powerful enough to surpass even Emperor...

Taking charge of the world is more than just a slogan.

"Have you ever thought about your Moon Snow City, and those who follow you?" the Ancient King asked again.

"Stop rambling on and just tell me what you're thinking." Tang Miao was getting impatient, but he also knew that what Ancient King said was indeed his only remaining attachment.

It's one thing to talk about others, but it's about my own woman...

We can't let them all get caught up in this situation just because of us, can we?

"Now that the person I've been longing for has been captured, how can I just stand by and watch?" The Ancient King's meaning was clear: he had to go on this trip.

However, he didn't want to implicate Tang Miao.

Ultimately, Qin Yu'er still needs to be protected.

Moon Snow City is clearly the most suitable place.

"Then I'll show you how it goes. If you can handle it, I won't interfere," Tang Miao continued.

Whenever the Ancient King's strength is overwhelming, he will definitely sit on the sidelines and watch the show.

"However, you really don't need any help? If you do, I can recommend someone. I happen to know a dragon who can subdue angels."

"The restraining angel?"

"What is that?" Zhan Kong asked.

I never imagined there were things even the Ancient King didn't know.

For some reason, Tang Miao felt a little happy...

"The dragon of the West, the black dragon."

After hearing this, the Ancient King chuckled and said, "You're overthinking it. While Western dragons are indeed powerful, they don't possess any ability to counter angels."

"???"

Tang Miao felt somewhat humiliated...

He clearly remembered Su Lu saying that the black dragon's scales could make it immune to the special magic of angels, and incidentally made their abilities just like forbidden spells.

Forbidden spells alone are no match for the black dragon...

How could an angel with such profound cultivation fear such things?

There are also differences in strength among angels. Some angels continue to cultivate even after returning to their positions. The strongest angel form is not just Twelve Wings.

It's just that he doesn't know much about these things.

Seeing that Tang Miao didn't believe him, the Ancient King didn't offer any further explanation. After all, he had only heard rumors from others.

"Have you really thought this through? Are you sure you want to go?"

He knew that what Tang Miao was about to do was beyond his control.

"Go ahead, but I won't lift a finger if you can hold your own. I actually prefer watching the show."

If the Ancient King hadn't appeared, he would have done everything he could to save her, but now that he has, and Qin Yu'er is a complete stranger to him, why should he go to such lengths?

He doesn't share Mr. Cao's hobbies.

Seeing this, the Ancient King said nothing more, turned around, and disappeared before his eyes.

Possessing both spatial and chaotic magic, he could get there much faster than Tang Miao.

"Actually, I also think that you shouldn't provoke the Holy City Angels." After the Ancient King left, Apas suddenly appeared and said to Tang Miao.

"???"

He was quite happy to see Apas run out of him, feeling that she had come to keep him company.

Who knew that this snake-like woman would pour a bucket of cold water on everything as soon as she appeared?

That's outrageous!

"You also think that with my current strength, I'm not capable of provoking these bastards?"

"Hmm." Apas nodded without giving any face.

Tang Miao was silent for a moment, then said, "According to you, I should definitely invite the Black Dragon Emperor as well."

"..."

Apas just stared straight at him, her alluring eyes and the towering breasts in front of her petite body seemingly guiding him into the darkness within.

Before Apas could say anything, a cloud of black mist suddenly enveloped her small body.

Fei Lian was puzzled by the appearance of Dark Energy on its body, but before it could turn around to see what was going on, a piece of Shatter Stone suddenly flew out from the Black Mist.

A bewildered Fei Lian could only continue flying rapidly forward.

Nowadays, it truly is a "plane" for special purposes.

That evening, they arrived at the Tyrant Mountain Range. Perhaps because he enjoyed the scenery along the way, Tang Miao did not tear through space this time, but instead slowly rode the Fei Lian to get there.

The tender-looking Apas leaned lazily against Tang Miao's chest, her rosy cheeks incredibly alluring.

Unfortunately, the scenery along the way was so beautiful that even with her captivating charm, she still couldn't attract Tang Miao's attention.

Upon reaching the Tyrant Mountain Range, Fei Lian stopped.

It could sense a powerful Demon Beast aura emanating from this place; Demon Beast value their territory immensely.

Wandering around will always cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing Fei Lian stop, Tang Miao used Totem Vessel to put it away. Then, looking at Apas, whose legs were weak, he said, "If you don't want to leave, go back to the Contract Space and rest."

Listen to this... is this something a person could say?

Why didn't you just let me roll back into the Contract Space?!

Apas glared angrily when she heard what Tang Miao said!

But because of her incredibly alluring golden eyes, she exudes charm even when she's angry.

Seemingly realizing she was being angry for no reason, Apas hummed a few times in dissatisfaction, though her voice was somewhat hoarse.

She didn't argue, nor did she show any intention of going back. Instead, she said, "Carry me on your back!"

Her soft, alluring voice returned, her tone filled with an air of unyielding authority; the little Queen's temper was flaring up again.

Can he indulge that little temper of his?

He walked over, squatted down, and said, "Get on."

Of course we can indulge them, otherwise they'll just be asking for trouble next time!

After Apas climbed on top of him, Tang Miao stood up, supporting her small, bouncy buttocks. Although they were quite fleshy, it felt like there was nothing there when he carried her on his back.

One step can cover a distance of a hundred meters.

Even without using any movement skills, he can teleport almost instantly simply by freely using chaos, space, wind, and shadow.

In just a few steps, he arrived at the place where he had disrupted Su Lu's dragon-slaying ceremony years ago.

It's still just as desolate as when I left it years ago...

Hua Zhanhong is right. The Earth Core is the energy contained within the earth, which can nurture resources and make everything on earth vibrant. On the other hand, the forbidden curse is cancer, a disaster to nature.

So much time has passed, yet this place is still in such a state.

"Awooo~!!!"

Just as he was gazing at the scene in silence, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth resounded.

Immediately afterwards, a black dragon spread its terrifying fleshy wings. It was like part of the night, shrouding the desolate mountain range. Its wings blocked out the stars and the moon, and its body dominated the sky. When its huge head poked out and saw that it was Tang Miao, its amazing aura just now dissipated instantly.

Tang Miao, standing in front of the black dragon, no longer felt the trembling he had before.

Black Dragon's strength should be around the peak of the Emperor level, right?

It doesn't look particularly impressive.

Sure enough, as his strength increased, those he used to look up to could now be met with calm gaze.

"Roar~ Roar~~"

The black dragon let out a few low growls, as if it were trying to say something.

Tang Miao looked at Apas, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Apas gave him a charming eye roll, then translated, "The Black Dragon Emperor asked if you came here because you need his help?"

"Did I come here just to ask for help?" Tang Miao complained, then added, "Tell it I need its help to rescue someone in the Holy City, and ask it to come with me."

Whether what the Ancient King said is true or what Su Lu said is true, the peak realm of the Emperor is still a powerful aid.

Why not use a free tool?

Apas briefly recounted what Tang Miao had told her, and the Black Dragon Emperor responded with a few low growls.

Apas continued translating, "It said there was no problem; after this, it and we would be even."

Judging from what Apas said, the Black Dragon Emperor's help was quite valuable.

Should I take it with me to the Holy City?

In the past, he definitely wouldn't have let the Black Dragon Emperor settle things with him after just one time; it wasn't worth it.

But both the Ancient King and Apas said that the Holy City Angels were not simple, which made him have to think carefully.

"Roar~~"

While Tang Miao hesitated, the black dragon let out another low roar.

Apas was somewhat displeased, but still looked at Tang Miao and said, "It asked us to lead the way."

"Damn... we helped it so much last time, shouldn't it be grateful? Why is it acting like this now?" Tang Miao asked.

"Didn't the Black Dragon Emperor give you a strange scale last time, so you could make a Magic Tool?" Apas replied.

"Are you standing over there?"

Hearing Apas contradict him, he casually slapped her across the face.

Apas gave a soft "humph," but said nothing more.

Tang Miao glanced at the Black Dragon Emperor again, then said, "Ask it if it has the ability to shrink its body. If we keep rushing to the Holy City like this, we'll probably be ambushed halfway there."

Apas rolled her eyes at Tang Miao, then said, "You can have it sponsor the project inside the Contract Space first, and then bring it out to help when needed."

"It can enter my Contract Space???" Tang Miao asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's a black dragon, and its understanding of magic is far superior to yours. It's naturally not suitable for a long time, but it can certainly allow you to reside there for a short period of time," Apas continued.
