Should we truly wait for her return? By then, it is likely that Inshi would have been captured and placed under the watch of the Clan Tiger and its allies.
After contemplating for a moment, the flame tiger conceded that the infernal tiger was indeed correct and resolved to place its trust in the other this time, preparing to take the plunge.
This was the most opportune moment to rescue.
Should she be taken back to the clan, the situation would become infinitely more challenging.
Subsequently, the flame tiger turned to the tiger guard standing nearby.
You remain here to notify her.
We shall proceed ahead.
Chapter 390.
Where do these humans come from? After the explanation, Leinhu immediately summoned his domain power and vanished before the Tiger Guard, leaving no opportunity for response.
In the sky above the city, three formidable presences ascended, swiftly arriving at the scene, they hovered in the air, surveying the entire city.
Having detected Leanho<unk>s departure, the tiger guard, peering through the window, felt a shiver of dread.
It was over.
The three elders led by Zonghu stood at the center, their brows furrowed and faces filled with fury.
I knew it was that old rascal Yianhu.
With that, the three elders unleashed their domain powers, intent on forcibly detaining Liinhu and Yu.
Just as their domains were about to intersect with Leanhu s, a streak of black light sliced through, severing their connection.
Who? Zonghu immediately scanned the surroundings, and as the blade of light dissipated, Bayu's figure emerged.
Her long white hair danced in the wind as she wielded a massive scythe.
Her expression icy as she fixed her gaze upon the three elders.
A human.
Zonghu was taken aback, perplexed by the presence of a human powerhouse in this place.
So, it turns out that Leian Hu, the traitor, has colluded with humans.
With Bayou appearing outside Liinhu's city, Zonghu naturally assumed she was in league with him.
He felt no concern.
She was but a single individual incapable of halting their advance.
Even if Leinhu were to intervene, what difference would it make? There were still two other elders present who would not necessarily be outmatched.
By US intention to obstruct them was straightforward.
Since she had encountered them, she might as well resolve the situation.
Timing is often more fortuitous than mere haste, and sooner or later, they would have to be dealt with, perfectly, allowing her to assess whether Yu could be trusted.
Let Es go together, Zonghu commanded, and the three tiger men immediately united their domain powers, pressing forward towards Bayou with lethal intent, sparing no effort.
Do you think killing me will spare you the wrath of the mage association? Bayou scoffed disdainfully, revealing her two-star mage badge.
Instantly, the domain power barreling towards her faltered, then swiftly withdrew.
The three elders were momentarily stunned.
The badge of the mage association could not be forged.
It dawned on them that a human powerhouse could hardly lack a legitimate identity.
Zonu promptly approached with a fawning smile.
My apologies, esteemed one.
We were blind to your rancher.
Please do not hold it against us.
Might I inquire if your visit pertains to our silver tide? Seeing Zong Hu's sickopantic demeanor filled by you with a sense of revulsion.
She merely intended to conduct a test.
Since these elders were so apprehensive about the Beastman Empire, revealing her identity as a human, a race even more formidable than the Beastmen, would surely elicit their respect.
As anticipated, her expectations were met.
Yet she now wore a stoic expression.
her previous disdainful smile concealed.
What syophance these were, mere parasites of the Icebound White Tiger Clan, the cold, ethereal voice of Bayou reverberated across the snowladen expanse of the far northern territory, finally elucidating why the Silver Tide.
A scion of the White Tiger Queen's bloodline had become a target.
The three tribal elders were momentarily takenback.
Yet, they maintained their forced smiles.
Even when Bayu bered them, they remained unperturbed, attributing her eye to their recent transgressions.
Eliminate them.
With Bayou's command, three swirling black vortices materialized before her, coalescing into the silhouettes of three deathly guardians, one of whom exuded an intense aura of death, distinctly unlike the others.
Yet, without exception, they were all of Imperial rank.
You are not a member of the magic association.
They do not wield such enigmatic sorcery.
Zong who exclaimed in astonishment, having interacted with the human race numerous times, yet never encountering such magic.
Nevertheless, Bayou paid them no heed, vanishing from her location.
With her departure, the three deathly guardians surged towards the three tribal elders led by Zonghu.
Bayou<unk>s indifference incited great fury within Zong Hu, who regarded the peculiar shadows with palpable disdain.
Do these minions presume to obstruct us? Dispatch them and support the knife tiger.
Zong who recognized that Bayou's prowess was undoubtedly of Imperial caliber.
Should she join forces with them, their scheme to capture silver tide might very well falter.
This was not a scenario Zong who wished to witness.
Indeed, perhaps soon he would no longer be able to see it all.
A fierce battle erupted among six Imperial beings above the city.
Meanwhile, on a small island along the northwest coastline of the far northern territory, Silver Tide and her kin of tiger folk remained concealed.
At that moment, she was diligently recuperating, wholly oblivious to the impending peril.
They had excavated subterranean ice dwellings, which served as their hidden refuge.
As a multitude of tiger folk required sustenance, the harsh environment compelled them to venture into the sea for fish.
A decision Silver Tide had intentionally made by selecting a secluded coastline.
This location was not only in close proximity to the far northern territory, but also presented an extremely frigid climate conducive to their growth and strength.
Furthermore, it offered convenience in procuring food.
Most importantly, Silver Tide had reached a bottleneck in her cultivation and required enlightenment to transcend to imperial rank.
Hence, this environment was deemed most suitable for her.
After comprehensive consideration, this was why she had not departed the far northern territory outright.
Moreover, the exit lay to the northwest, where endless seas and countless islands prevailed.
escaping the far northern territory would necessitate traversing the entire region southward, significantly heightening the risk of detection.
Silver Tide harbored a premonition that upon complete recovery from her injuries, she could achieve a breakthrough to imperial rank.
Thus, she had been fervently focused on healing.
As for the matter of hunting, being fully grown tigers, they could hardly burden Silver Tide with such trivialities.
This ultimately led to their unexpected encounter with the aquatic race.
A serendipitous event, perhaps a mere coincidence or a twist of fate.
The ice dwellings level with the icy surface were designed to appear relatively flat from a distance, rendering them difficult to detect.
However, should a king or Imperial rank individual pass by, they could effortlessly discern the concealed tiger folk within.
At this moment, the two clan elders, Dao Who and another, were meticulously searching the islands along the coastline.
Although they had pinpointed their target to the northwest shoreline, the vastness of the area rendered it challenging to provide precise coordinates, even for the sea tribe.
Thus, they resorted to the most rudimentary method, lowering their altitude to enhance their perceptive abilities, scouring each location one by one without additional personnel to avoid alarming the adversary.
Their solitary search was somewhat sluggish.
Fortunately, the imperial level range of perception was sufficiently expansive, allowing them to complete their search swiftly.
Meanwhile, Inshi, possessing only royal level abilities, had no chance of escape in such an open expanse, even with spatial magic.
Just then, Dahu, hovering midair, paused momentarily as if he had observed a movement on the distant ice surface.
Curious, he resolved to investigate further.
Confident in his vision, he called to his fellow clan elder, decisively adjusted his course, and soared towards that direction with all his might.
Chapter 391.
Long time no see beneath the icy surface.
The Arctic white tiger was poised to venture out in search of sustenance.
It cautiously raised a section of the ice, peering through a narrow opening to observe the outside world.
To its alarm, it spotted two white specks soaring through the air.
In the far north, there were no birds.
Undoubtedly, these were the Arctic white tigers dispatched by its clan to seek its whereabouts.
