Chapter 180 Assistance
"Just what is going on here in my city?" a furious sound disrupted all the fighting.
Everyone glared at the person who had just shouted. The pressure that the single shout gave off told everyone that it was someone powerful.
The city lord of Kaishi city had finally arrived. He looked coldly at the Hong family.
"I tolerated the entrance of the Hong family in the city for a while, but I think that you are no longer welcome here. The aftermath of your fight will not help the city in anyway. Leave now." the city lord said.
"Who the hell do you think you are, trying to boss around the Hong family. So what if you are a city lord? City lords are just people who are strong and have gained the recognition of the imperial palace. Do you really think that you can go against one of the strongest powers in the kingdom?" Hong Jimin sneered.
"I think that I can. The Hong family? What is that? Just three old men in the Xiantian realm, and one coward hiding behind the shadows think that they can take me? How far has the family's intelligence fallen?" the city lord laughed.
Liu Feng looked at the city lord once and knew that this was no ordinary cultivator. He might not have exceeded the Xiantian realm, but he sure as hell was stronger than everyone present here.
"The Hong family is here to stay. You have occupied the Spirit Jade pool for too long. I think that it is time that we take a try at what lies inside." another mysterious voice about.
"You want to occupy the pool? I should have known why four old men just steps away from their grave would enter the mortal world. It is so that they can try and extend it. You want to touch that existence? Then you will have to fight me." the city lord said, and he put his left arm behind his back, looking like a very respectable person.
"Do you really think that we came here without a plan?" an old man came out of seemingly nowhere.
This man was old beyond measure. He was literally one step into his grave. He had one purple stone in his hand though, and the moment that the city lord laid his eyes on the stone, his breathing turned haggard.
"How did you come across that? Impossible. You wouldn't dare!" he said.
"I will dare." the old man crushed the purple stone, and clouds appeared in the sky. Just looking at the sky, Liu Feng had a similar feeling. It was like the time when he said something tabboo and the heavens decided to strike down.
But this time, the heavens was clearly striking down on something else entirely.
Ping!
[Story Quest Activated.
Save the Green Gale tiger.
Reward - 2 levels of cultivation]
"The green gale tiger? Wait a minute. You already promised me two cultivation levels last time. I did not get them. This ain't fair. You forgot about it. I won't do this story quest. You are not fair, so I don't need to be." Liu Feng suddenly remembered.
Ping!
Ping!
[Cultivation increased to Nascent Soul stage fifth layer!]
[Host has activated divine sense]
Liu Feng felt so much stronger all of a sudden. He also got this awareness of the things around him. He could feel the energy of his spirit sea reaching out.
But all of that was no longer his concern. His concern was the fact that the story quest was so important that the system gave him all of this.
"Who the hell is the green gale tiger? How do I save it?" he thought to himself.
As if answering his answers, a loud roar reverberated through the city.
Roar!
The blood of every cultivator within shook wildly, and they all looked at where it came from. The city lord mansion has a green pillar that appeared out of nowhere, made entirely of energy.
Liu Feng could feel a gust of wind coming from it, and knew that whatever was causing that pillar of wind, was the green gale tiger.
"What is happening here? I can sense a green gale tiger here." another voice entered Liu Feng's head. This time, it was someone he knew and knew so well.
"Liu Man? You are awake? Thank god! You know of the green gale tiger?" Liu Feng asked the white tiger, who was within his sleeve the entire time!
"Of course I know of the green gale tiger. I know of every single tiger that exists. As the existence that is above all tigers, I know of my kin. We may not be pack animals, but we respect each other's existence." Liu Man said.
"Did you digest the flood dragon's core completely though?" Liu Feng asked.
"I did. The roar was unexpectedly helpful. It invigorated my blood and made me enter peak of the fourth tier." Liu Man said.
"You are at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm?" Liu Feng asked.
Liu Man nodded his tiny head, and looked solemnly at the wind pillar.
"That tiger is in trouble. Whoever started these tribulation clouds, they want to kill him. The green gale tiger is at the end of his life span, and was hiding from the heavens till now. I remember it. This was the same thing that was beneath the pool when we first spoke to each other." Liu Man said.
"The one that kicked me out! The one that the system wanted me to meet. It has to be connected to the main story somehow. Whoever he is, he must be important." Liu Feng surmised.
"Hahaha, now, I will see how he will survive this. This is the true end of the Kaishi city as you know it. The Hong family shall gain another strong hold, and this one shall be on the paradise that all of you have been hoarding." the old man started laughing hysterically.
"Oh. Did you really think that Kaishi city had so few protectors?" Liu Feng heard another voice enter the fray.
"Father?"
