854. The Disappearing Sea Monsters

The Cold Moon Eye Demon God crumbled, and it and its throne slowly disappeared from Tang Miao's sight.

They were Sea Monster after all. They wanted to leave, and even if Tang Miao were at his peak, he wouldn't be able to stop them, let alone when he was already exhausted.

The waves crashed and crashed, and the figures of the Emperor completely disappeared from Tang Miao's sight.

The shattered Hawaii was completely submerged in the sea.

Apart from some corpses floating on the sea, there was almost no trace of demonic energy. As the Demon Power dissipated, Tang Miao slowly landed on a shattered island.

Although the demon's power no longer diminishes him, it comes at the cost of the power of his Contract Beast.

At this moment, they were all lying in the Contract Space, in a dormant state.

Although he was exhausted, he still managed to tear open space...

There's no way around it; judging from what the Cold Moon Eye Demon God said after leaving, it will launch a full-scale attack soon.

Just as the other party said, no matter how strong he is, how can one person withstand Sea Monster Legion?

He might be able to protect one city, but not other places...

Ultimately, this calamity requires the resistance of all Chinese people.

The territory that had just been reclaimed now seemed to warrant a reminder to Hua Zhanhong to abandon it...

Temperatures have been dropping increasingly lately, and it seems the Antarctic Emperor has been provoked.

The situation is getting increasingly worse...

"Buzzing~~~~"

The Gate of Space opened, and Tang Miao stepped inside.

In a short while, he arrived in Qinhuangdao again.

When the space opened and Tang Miao appeared, Hua Zhanhong, Pang Lai, and Jiang Yu were already there.

Hua Zhanhong had been feigning injury, while Pang Lai, though seriously injured, recovered considerably after using the healing scroll.

As for Jiang Yu?

Despite being a weakling, he was protected by so many Court Mages, so it didn't affect him much.

"It's so good to see you back safe and sound!" Hua Zhanhong had been a little suspicious when Pang Lai and Jiang Yu told him that he was still alive.

Seeing that Tang Miao was actually alive, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am protected by the Vermilion Bird clan's totem, which allows me to be reborn wherever there is fire. The Spirit Seed Fire can quickly help me regenerate, and the Soul Seed Fire can restore me to my peak strength," Tang Miao explained.

"I see..."

Hua Zhanhong was delighted to hear this, and then asked, "How did you know that there were cardinals from the Black Vatican among the Court Mage?"

"I don't know how to tell you this, but I just know." Tang Miao thought for a moment, but still didn't say it directly.

The main problem is that even if he said some things, Hua Zhanhong might not believe them...

"Let's not worry about the Black Vatican for now. If I'm not mistaken, the Cold Moon Eye Demon God may be launching a full-scale attack soon," Tang Miao continued.

"I know."

Hua Zhanhong showed no surprise, and continued, "Although we have obtained the means of fusion and improved considerably, the gap between humans and demons is still vast. Moreover, the number of Sea Monster is definitely several times the number of our Huaxia mages. From the very beginning, I never thought we could win this war."

As he spoke, Hua Zhanhong looked at Tang Miao, then at Jiang Yu.

"You are all exceptionally talented. We will lose this war, so..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Miao immediately interrupted, "So, we should just retreat to the west and wait until all you old geezers are dead before leading the remaining people in resistance?"

Hua Zhanhong nodded and continued, "That's right. I believe that in a few years, you will definitely do better than us. And you will definitely be more outstanding than me..."

"But have you ever considered this: I've never been interested in leaders?"

"Furthermore, if we leave you to die while we depart, will the next generation, years from now, still be able to fight like we are now, instead of continuing to run away?"

Hua Zhanhong paused...

For a moment, he was unable to answer Tang Miao's question.

"Nothing is decisive. The Sea Monster is acting so recklessly precisely because she thinks we won't fight with all our might."

"Also, there's one more thing I can tell you."

"In the wars to come, we will face more than just Sea Monster."

"And there are sea undead!"

"They've already formed an alliance; if this land is lost, it's uncertain whether it can be defended in the future."

"From the very beginning, our only goal has been to fight to the very end!"

Seeing that Hua Zhanhong didn't know how to respond, Tang Miao told him everything she knew and understood.

Hua Chenmo is back online...

He truly hadn't expected that... those who wanted to attack Huaxia weren't just members of the Sea Monster Demon Clan, but also underwater undead...

There wasn't much hope to begin with, so wouldn't this make it even more hopeless?

"I don't think you're that kind of person, given your level of understanding," Tang Miao asked again.

Hua Zhanhong shook his head, feeling a sense of despair for the first time. "If it were just Sea Monster, perhaps we could still fight them off. But this time... with the Sea Monster undead also present, can we really stop them?"

Upon seeing this, Tang Miao's mouth twitched slightly... He wanted a reminder, not a blow.

He continued, "Giving up before even fighting? You're not the Hua Zhanhong I know. This isn't the attitude a leader of the nation should have."

"If you maintain this mindset, then you might as well just wait for the major base cities to be destroyed."

Awaiting destruction?

This is not a strategy a leader of a nation should adopt!

Pang Lai and Jiang Yu remained on the sidelines, showing absolutely no intention of getting involved.

After all, this is now a matter of national importance.

Although Tang Miao said he didn't want to become anything to the country, in reality, after the battle of the Holy City, he was already able to determine the direction of a nation.

After all, Gabriel, the current commander-in-chief of the Holy City's angels, was someone he had helped to rise to power.

The power wielded by angels is absolutely immense, far exceeding that of several nations!

Tang Miao is also one of the "judges" appointed by several recognized high-ranking officials.

Perhaps when he doesn't care, it's nothing, but when he does care, he has the right to kill anyone, no matter who they are.

However, he simply didn't notice any of this...

"To be cowardly before even engaging in battle is certainly not the attitude I should have."

"I'll go back now to arrange the defense of the coastline. It seems that the lost territory we've recovered now needs to be abandoned."

Tang Miao nodded, then said, "I should return to Moon Snow City as well. In the battle in Hawaii, I killed the poisonous, Colorful Demon King, but it took a lot of effort. It will take at least five or six days to recover, so if the Sea Monster arrive in the next few days, you'll have to rely on yourselves. Of course, I'll have the totems help you if necessary."

Although he possessed the infusion of the Vermilion Bird's divine soul, allowing him to be reborn, he was ultimately a human being, not a totem. After several rebirths, the flame within his heart underwent some changes.

Therefore, it's best to preserve such opportunities if possible.

"What!?"

The three who had just been feeling lost and confused about the future of the battle were all surprised after hearing what Tang Miao said!

How could I not be surprised!

Seven Emperor joined forces to attack, but failed to subdue Tang Miao; instead, he killed one of the Emperor.

The Colorful Demon King might not be considered a powerful Emperor by Tang Miao's standards.

But in their understanding, Emperor like the Colorful Demon King were the most difficult to deal with...

Its terrifying poison gas could destroy a city with ease... Even the Colorful Demon King is one of the most difficult beings to kill.

"That's great... We've never been able to withstand the poison gas of this Colorful Demon King," Hua Zhanhong said.

"You little rascal, you're getting more and more freakish..." Pang Lai said, looking at him like he was a freak.

"Holy crap, Tang Miao is awesome!!"

As for Jiang Yu?

Besides shouting "666," he really didn't know what else to say.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Hua Zhanhong used Tang Miao's portal to leave and head towards the base city.

Pang Lai and Jiang Yu, on the other hand, needed to wait for the people from the Court Magic Association to recuperate before returning to the capital.

Tang Miao, on the other hand, headed back towards Moon Snow City. The situation was becoming increasingly complicated, so complicated that he had no idea what would happen...

He didn't know whether continuing this war was right or wrong.

However, he knew one thing...

They cannot back down; if they do, retaking these cities will become even more difficult.

When returning to Moon Snow City, Fei Lian naturally took their place.

Moreover, Hua Zhanhong had used up all his remaining strength, and now he desperately needed to rest and recuperate.

On his way back, something suddenly occurred to him!

That was the power within Su Lu's body; it must have been completely drained, right?

He was previously placed inside Shadow Fiend's body, and there hasn't been a chance to use him up yet. However, his Shadow Element has now reached the forbidden level.

The dark power emanating from him seemed to have no effect on him.

Therefore, Tang Miao let Ying Sha refine it on its own.

Shadowfiend was naturally overjoyed!

After returning to Moon Snow City, Tang Miao lived his life as usual.

Occasionally I'd spend time with Mu Ningxue, occasionally with Jiang Shaoxu, and sometimes give Ling Ling some guidance... It's just a pity that Apas is currently in hibernation; otherwise, it might be more enjoyable to guide the two girls together.

With the company of Liu Ru, Liu Xian, and Yu Shishi, his strength was restored to its peak state almost without him realizing it.

However, what puzzled Tang Miao was that the entire Pacific Ocean was calm. It was as if the Sea Monster had no intention of attacking at all?

Even the Shark-people Shark People Race, Shark People Country Lord, retreated from West Lake.

And the Sea Monster from other seas of Huaxia have also retreated from the outskirts of this land?

It was as if they were afraid and had completely fled.

They even sent people to investigate in various places several times, but they couldn't find a trace of Sea Monster. In fact, the Sea Monster that originally inhabited these areas had completely disappeared...

Even so, humanity remained vigilant, having suffered greatly at the hands of the Sea Monster.

They are truly not to be underestimated...

After Tang Miao recovered, he used the Spirit Essence of the Colorful Demon King to strengthen the countless stars in the Lightning Element star system.

He didn't actually know how many Star Seeds there were...

Not only was he unaware, but many Forbidden Curse Mages were also unaware.

The difficulty in breaking through forbidden spells is not solely due to the scarcity of the required resources.

Furthermore, many mages who have reached the Forbidden Curse Level are unable to even complete forbidden spells.

The casting of forbidden spells is extremely complicated, and mental strength, innate abilities, and other factors are particularly important in this process.

However, with all the Spirit Essence and Remnant Soul he had obtained fused into the starry sky, Tang Miao could clearly feel that he possessed at least half of the Star Seeds and had been upgraded to the fourth level.

To upgrade this missing Star Seeds to the fourth level, it will likely require one or two more Star Seeds enhancements.

Strengthening the power of the forbidden spell Star Seeds, he is probably unprecedented and unlikely to be surpassed in the future...

Outside Yu Shishi's wooden house...

Ling Ling received a request for help from Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan. Although they hadn't confirmed whether it was a totem or not, they had indeed detected the existence of an extremely powerful Demon Beast.

However, the opponent's aura was far too strong, and it had issued a warning that approaching its territory might result in an attack.

The problem right now is that they're not sure if the other party is Totem Beast.

If it's not a totem, wouldn't going to provoke it be like inexplicably offending a Great Demon?

If that were the case, the other party clearly didn't want to contact them, especially given the other party's strong aura. They didn't know what to do, so they could only ask Tang Miao for help.

But after arriving here and seeing the situation before her, she felt somewhat dissatisfied!

Everyone's busy right now, but who would have thought Tang Miao would be indulging in such a debauched lifestyle?!

Immediately, Ling Ling became a little angry. "Young Master Tang, we received news from Mo Fan and the others that they've encountered some tricky trouble. I wonder if you, with your dazzling array of talents, have time to go and help them?"

Upon hearing Ling Ling's voice, the girls accompanying Tang Miao were all taken aback.

Then came another wave of shyness...

Song Feiyao, in particular, was even considering running away.

At this time, Tang Miao should be getting down to business; how could he stay here because of them?

It's all that damned Tang Miao's fault; he used both soft and hard tactics to force her to stay here.

Compared to the shyness of the other girls, Tang Miao seemed unfazed. Besides, this little girl was so serious and boisterous; she was getting a bit too cocky!

Tang Miao immediately stood up and walked towards Ling Ling.

Seeing Tang Miao stand up, Ling Ling realized it was his own reprimand that made him realize his mistake.

Unconsciously, Ling Ling felt a little proud.

But this sense of pride didn't last even a minute... before Tang Miao picked her up.

What are you doing?!

Ling Ling felt a little embarrassed. She had just been reprimanding him, such a serious persona, how could she have broken down like that...?

"Gan!"

Two hours later, Tang Miao left Moon Snow City and headed towards Japan.

And Ling Ling at this moment?

The arrogance of before was still there...

For a full two hours, she paid a heavy price for her petty arrogance.

Fortunately, the "older sisters" here are all experienced.

Fortunately, Little Lingling has been with Tang Miao for a long time, so her skin is thick enough...

Having regained some strength, he turned and jogged away from there.

His previous arrogance vanished instantly... (To be continued)
