Chapter 670 After the War
"Well……"
Inside the ark, accompanied by a sobbing sound, Cangnian opened his heavy eyelids, dispelling the darkness before him.
"He's awake! The big tiger is awake!"
Before he could even observe his surroundings, he heard Bai Jue chattering away.
"Little one/King/Tiger Brother is awake?"
Then came a burst of excited cheers.
"Uh... Ye Dingjiang didn't kill me?"
After a while, Cang Nian finally remembered what he was doing before he lost consciousness. Looking at the group of powerful Northeast Allied Army soldiers from the Dragon Kingdom who had surrounded him, he murmured with his mouth open.
"Heh! That guy does keep his word, but he knocked you out, Big Tiger!"
Otherwise, we'd be in big trouble this time!
Looking at the bewildered Cang Nian, Bai Jue curled his lip and said that he had no respect whatsoever for Ye Dingjiang, the chief of the Dragon Kingdom.
"How long have I been in a coma?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian felt quite fortunate and then asked.
"Not long, just one night's sleep!"
But we thought he had used some terrible trick on you, and that you would never wake up again!
Bai Jue explained.
"How is Qu Yinmei?"
Cang Nian looked around and found that all the powerful figures of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom were present. He felt much more at ease and asked the question again.
"Without his beast taming ability, that guy is incredibly fragile. You hit him once and he's a bloody mess."
Unfortunately, according to Menglan and Yang Feng, she was saved thanks to the all-out efforts of the capital city in providing medical treatment.
At this point, Bai Jue gritted her teeth and said with considerable regret.
"Hey……"
Upon hearing this result, Cang Nian felt even more regretful than Bai Jue, and let out a deep sigh.
If we failed to kill Qu Yinmei, then killing her next will be too difficult.
I originally thought that the strongest person in the capital was someone like Song Zhiyuan.
As it turned out, Chief Ye Dingjiang had been concealing the fact that he was an evolved being all along.
However, Ye Dingjiang is an evolved being and a fifth-tier expert, but he himself should not be very powerful.
Only the Imperial Seal of the State, although it has not yet exceeded the fifth rank, is far too powerful.
Even if I use the second-level overlimit burst, I will still be suppressed by that thing.
Moreover, when Tiger Dad and his allies came to help him, even when twenty or thirty fifth-tier powerhouses attacked together, they were all suppressed.
This power is far greater than that of ordinary magical treasures like the Blood Pearl.
Therefore, no matter how regrettable or unwilling he was, Cang Nian could only say that he had done his best.
Aside from not using the third-level overlimit burst that would have been fatal, he had used every means at his disposal.
At most, there was still a breath of lung-golden sword energy left to use, but while this move was quite fast, its attack speed was much slower than when he used his claws to strike, making it easier to dodge.
"I'm sorry I couldn't avenge Er Mihu this time."
But if I have the chance again, I will definitely not let her live.
However, since things have come to this, there's no use in wallowing in self-pity. Cang Nian looked at Er Mai Tai in the beast horde and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty...you have done your best. It is my fault for being useless in helping Er Mihu avenge himself..."
But Your Majesty, was Er Mihu really eaten by that lion?
Seeing that Cang Nian had gone to such lengths and was still apologizing to him, Er Maitai choked up as he spoke.
Its special ability is to integrate a part of the body of an evolved creature into itself, and then use those parts.
This ability is at its peak when one obtains a higher-level evolved biological body, allowing Ermaita, who is only at the fourth rank, to possess combat power comparable to a fifth-rank powerhouse.
However, in the current situation, most of the evolved creatures at the forefront of the evolutionary wave have just entered the fifth rank, and before any stronger beings than the fifth rank have emerged, its ability has weakened considerably.
It does contain parts of many fifth-order evolved creatures, but no matter how many parts of fifth-order evolved creatures are combined, it is still only fifth-order.
At best, by leveraging its strengths and compensating for its weaknesses, it is quite powerful among fifth-order evolved creatures, but its strength is limited, and it can never reach the threshold of a top-tier powerhouse.
If it were alone, it would definitely never be able to avenge Er Muhu's grudge.
Although Cang Nian failed to kill Qu Yinmei, he had done the best he could. Er Mai Tai was now filled with fear and unease, let alone blaming Cang Nian.
"That's certainly true. Cang Hui's painting of the tiger can be traced back to its source, and Er Mi Hu's disappearance has only lasted three days at most."
Its last scent dissipated on the lion named Zeus.
There is no other possibility but to be eaten.
If you don't believe me, you can take the painting of the tiger to the previously cleared area and take a look.
However, if Ermihu hadn't left any bloodstains outside, it might not have even left a trace of its scent.
Cang Nian knew that he had let the tiger in the painting sniff out Er Mi Hu's scent and even found its whereabouts. This seemed to be a deliberate attempt to lead the clues to Qu Yin Mei and find an excuse to kill her.
Even Ermaitai, who is himself a tiger, would have doubts.
Unfortunately, that's the truth.
Er Mihu is already dead, and he died right in the mouth of Qu Yinmei's tamed beast, the lion Zeus.
"Damn it! That Qu Yinmei thinks she has that old man Song Zhiyuan backing her up."
So you think that as long as you're not caught red-handed, you can rest easy?
They deliberately didn't enslave Ermihu, but instead let their tamed beasts eat Ermihu, just to get revenge on us!
"It's a pity that if it weren't for the Imperial Seal of the State, we would have already avenged that idiot!"
Bai Jue said fiercely from the side.
"It's a good thing that Ye Dingjiang was forced to use the Imperial Seal this time."
Given the current pace of development in the capital, if the population were to surge again, it would need to annex at least one massive survivor base of the same level.
Therefore, the power of the Imperial Seal will not increase significantly in the short term.
Furthermore, since the capital city is not yet able to stably cultivate fifth-tier evolved creatures, the capital city can only increase the number of fifth-tier evolved beings at most.
For a fifth-tier expert who wants to become even stronger, the only option is through persistent, gradual progress.
Seeing that everyone was unwilling to give up, Cang Nian comforted them.
In fact, there is a shortcut to defeating Ye Dingjiang, who holds the Imperial Seal of the State.
Since the source of the Imperial Seal's power lies in the nearly thirty million people of the capital...
If the population of the capital city is drastically reduced, or if everyone loses their sense of identity and belonging to the Dragon Kingdom, then the Imperial Seal will naturally become a rootless plant.
However, Cang Nian has not yet gone to such extremes.
The Dragon Kingdom is the Dragon Kingdom, and the Imperial Capital is the Imperial Capital; Cang Nian clearly distinguishes between the two.
Moreover, the main reason I survived this time was that, apart from having a clear goal of taking revenge on Qu Yinmei, I did not harm any innocent people.
Otherwise, Ye Dingjiang would most likely not care how high his talent or how amazing his potential was, and would definitely nip him in the bud!
Moreover, if he were to actually kill ordinary people of the Dragon Kingdom and carry out a brutal massacre, Ye Dingjiang would surely activate the Imperial Seal to suppress him as soon as he made a move.
Therefore, whether out of his own conscience or after weighing the pros and cons, Cang Nian would never take such a shortcut.
