Chapter 60: Mei Gongzi, I Am Coming For You
The High Priest of Wind Wolf Town breathed heavily. Despite being old, she forcibly stabilized her emotions and suddenly swallowed the Wind Wolf Heart she held.
Instantly, her entire body began to tremble violently. Her aura, which had been around the seventh order, rapidly fell to the sixth order, then further down to the fifth order before gradually settling. She also appeared increasingly aged.
The High Priest of Wind Wolf Town continuously emitted low roars and cries of grief, but Feng Xiong's already shriveled corpse showed no sign of life whatsoever.
Shan Ling stood nearby, his eyes flickering with light, feeling that he should leave this place as soon as possible. The High Priest of this town and the deceased lord seemed to be much more significant characters than he had thought!
The High Priest of Wind Wolf Town slowly stood up, her gaze burning into Shan Ling. Then, she took a deep breath, and the gaze in her eyes, which had dimmed, deepened for some reason. It seemed as if she wanted to etch the appearance of this seventh-order Flash Leopard into its memory.
A whirlwind emanated from the High Priest’s hands, lifting the body of Feng Xiong, the deceased Lord of Wind Wolf Town. With the corpse in tow, she slowly flew toward Wind Wolf Town.
Shan Ling took a couple of steps but ultimately stopped. After a moment of thought, he turned the opposite way and swiftly left.
His purpose for coming here had been achieved: he had rescued the surviving Flash Leopard younglings, the main culprit was dead, and quite a few Wind Wolves had been killed.
The only unclear aspect for Shan Ling was regarding the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town and the deceased Wind Wolf Lord, who definitely had something special about them. He wasn’t worried, however. No matter how special these two were, the Flash Leopards had the high moral ground and the legal justification. With that in mind, he decided to return and report to his clan first.
The High Priest of Wind Wolf Town, holding the body of the Wind Wolf Lord, slowly flew back to the town, all the way to the altar, where she gently placed Feng Xiong's body in the center.
She started muttering something, and as she chanted, the redness in her eyes grew deeper and more intense.
The altar began to tremble slowly, with green light patterns gradually emerging on its surface. Atop the altar, Feng Xiong's body also emitted an emerald-green light intermixed with patches of faint gold.
"Great Wind Wolf King, your offspring has been slain. With the blood of your descendant as a sacrifice, I beseech you, give justice to us, mother and child!"
The High Priest of Wind Wolf Town let out a piercing roar to the sky, and a bright green light with a blood-red tinge shot up into the sky, instantly turning into a huge green and red light column.
The entire Wind Wolf Town trembled violently when this green and red light column appeared.
Inside the wooden house, Wang Yanfeng, who had been on high alert after the Flash Leopard invasion, was shocked to see the light column shooting into the sky. Gazing in the direction of the altar, he was momentarily dazed.
Whether it was him, Qiu Jing, the three Wang brothers, or Ling Muxue, at this moment, they all felt their bloodlines simmering, and even their emotions were affected.
What exactly is this?
***
Five kilometers west of Wind Wolf Town.
Tang San landed gracefully on the ground. As he looked around, a figure emerged from behind a large tree—the tiger man from the Redemption Society.
The tiger man gestured to Tang San, who quickly followed.
"Let's go!"
Without saying much, the tiger man led Tang San away toward the distance.
At that moment, the tiger man sensed something, and he abruptly stopped and turned around.
Tang San felt the Wind Wolf imprint within him throbbing.
When he turned back, he saw a huge green light column rising into the sky from the direction of Wind Wolf Town, intermingled with strands of blood-red as if it was contaminated.
"Such intense resentment... What is this..." The tiger man’s eyes widened. "Let's go, we should leave quickly. It seems that something unexpected happened in Wind Wolf Town."
Saying this, he grabbed Tang San's arm and quickly darted away.
***
Kali City. The Wind Wolf Ancestral House.
In a room adorned with various rare furs, an elderly Wind Wolf lay reclining in a lounge chair.
Suddenly, his body trembled violently, and he sat up straight.
This elderly Wind Wolf stood about two meters tall, with a robust and imposing figure in spite of his advanced age. Strikingly, he actually looked almost entirely human, except for his pale green skin and emerald-green hair. Each strand of hair emitted a faint green glow, and his deep green eyes were as profound as bottomless pools.
A deep roar echoed from his mouth. "Who dares to touch my offspring?!"
In the next instant, the entire Wind Wolf Ancestral House trembled.
***
On the side of Kali City Center Square. The Mei Gongzi Milk Tea Shop.
Mei Gongzi, her mother, and a female employee were all busy. They had a clear division of labor: Mei Gongzi's mother made the milk tea, Mei Gongzi handled the cash, and the female employee served the milk tea to the customers.
Every evening was their busiest time. Kali Square also became more lively around this time. Of course, only members of the powerful clans of Kali City would be active in this area.
"Ah—" The female employee suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Mei Gongzi didn't react much, but her mother, Su Qin, instinctively turned her head to look and was also startled.
A sturdy Wind Wolf who had just bought milk tea suddenly shone with a bright green light.
This green light also attracted Mei Gongzi's attention.
Before they could ask what was going on, the Wind Wolf suddenly turned around and sprinted away, not even bothering to take the milk tea it had already paid for.
At Kali Square, the few Wind Wolves present suddenly illuminated the night like green-lit lamps; all of them, without exception, accelerated and quickly headed in the direction of the Wind Wolf Ancestral Home.
***
Two days later, two figures, one large and one small appeared not far from the gates of Kali City.
Both walked toward the city gate with their heads lowered.
The smaller human quietly lifted his head to look at the tall city tower ahead, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Kali City, here I come. Mei Gongzi, I'm coming!
