Chapter 54: Seventh-Order Flash Leopard
No wonder they dared to defy the Ancestral Court's rules and attack Wind Wolf Town. Could someone have actually hunted the younglings of the Flash Leopard Clan?
Regarding this, the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town was indeed somewhat suspicious. The first suspect was right beneath her eyes.
The High Priest knew very well that the Town Lord was striving to break through from the fifth to the sixth order. However, due to insufficient bloodline strength, it repeatedly failed. This failure caused extreme anger. Only by reaching the sixth order could there be a chance to be conscripted into Kali City. The Lord of Wind Wolf Town had long been disgusted with this remote town.
And indeed, hunting and consuming the younglings of the leopard demon clans was a feasible shortcut. It was possible that someone like him would have taken such a risk.
Even with the Ancestral Court's prohibition, the poaching of leopard demon younglings hadn't wholly ceased.
The Lord of Wind Wolf Town, somewhat agitated and uneasy, let out a low growl. "High Priest, I did not do it."
The High Priest asked Shan Ling, "Do you have any evidence?"
Shan Ling growled lowly. "I have already sensed the presence of my clan's bloodline. Do you need more evidence? My bloodline has reached ancestral strength, and its perception of our kin is something you should understand, right?"
The heart of the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town sank, knowing that the other party's words were likely valid. Had Shan Ling not sensed the presence of a Flash Leopard youngling in Wind Wolf Town, he would not have acted rashly. This was a matter that could affect both clans significantly.
Just then, the Lord of Wind Wolf Town suddenly roared again and a powerful burst of Wind Wolf bloodline aura erupted, visibly invigorating the Wind Wolves in the town fighting Shan Ling’s Flash Leopards and enhancing their bloodline aura.
The Lord of Wind Wolf Town opened its mouth and a Wind Blade shot toward Shan Ling. This Wind Blade swelled rapidly in the wind as the wind element in the air swiftly converged upon it. It expanded almost instantly to a width of about a meter, accompanied by a piercing howl.
When the Lord of Wind Wolf Town unleashed this Wind Blade, Shan Ling and the High Priest of Wind Wolf Town understood the truth at the same time. Although the Lord of Wind Wolf Town did not admit to capturing the Flash Leopard youngling, he was definitely the perpetrator!
In fact, at this moment, the Lord of Wind Wolf Town was filled with trepidation, fully aware of the trouble of capturing a youngling from the leopard demon clan. Yet, the desire for power and the improvement of his bloodline made it impossible to pass up the opportunity when it presented itself.
Just two days ago, while out in the forest, he encountered a family of Flash Leopards playing. There were some young Flash Leopards, clearly newborns. The Flash Leopard couple was not strong, only at the third order. Overcome by greed, after a moment of hesitation, he killed the Flash Leopard couple and kidnapped the cubs.
He had thought that he had done this without anyone knowing, not even his closest kin, his wife. But unexpectedly, in just two days, the Flash Leopard clan's army had come bearing down, searching for their cubs.
However, the power displayed by Shan Ling was truly formidable. Shan Ling knew the opponents would have an advantage fighting on their home ground, but being a true seventh-order, he was confident in facing them and winning.
For a time, from a distance, one could only see Shan Ling transformed into a golden shadow continuously launching assaults on the central green light, repeatedly compressing it. However, breaking through the defense of the two from Wind Wolf Town in a short time was difficult.
In the meantime, in a small two-story wooden house in the distance, the occupants had just noticed that a battle had begun.
The three Wang brothers and Ling Muxue had already been gathered together by Qiu Jing, who wouldn't let them go outside.
Wang Yanfeng and Tang San were on the second floor.
Opening the window, they could see the battle in the distance. The direction of Shan Ling's charge and the place of the battle were exactly as the tiger mask man had told them.
According to the agreement, Tang San would leave after three hundred breaths.
"Tang San." Wang Yanfeng looked at him.
Tang San respectfully bowed to Wang Yanfeng, his heart filled with respect for the teacher who first gave him a sense of family warmth after he arrived in this world.
"Teacher, I have to go now. Please take good care of yourself and your wife. When I can, I will come back to see you," Tang San said softly.
"Are you leaving now? Wasn’t the plan to wait for three hundred breaths?" Wang Yanfeng said in surprise.
Tang San said, "Don't worry, it should be fine. The Flash Leopards have come in large numbers. Haven't you noticed many Wind Wolves have already gone to the front lines? There aren't many Wind Wolves in the rear now, and no one will notice me. Soon, as the person from Redemption Society said, the Flash Leopards should be able to break into the town. By that time, it would be much more of a problem for me to leave. I'd better go now and act according to the situation. Aren't you confident in my abilities?"
Wang Yanfeng hesitated for a moment but then nodded. "Be very careful. Once you're in Kali City, find Guigui when you can. She will send news to me."
"Alright. Teacher, I'm leaving now." Tang San stepped forward, hugged Wang Yanfeng, then turned and went out the window. Skillfully, he flipped in the air. Supported by the wind element, he smoothly floated down to the courtyard outside.
He turned back to wave at Wang Yanfeng at the window, then quickly disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
