Chapter 58: Chapter 57: Heart of Wind Wolf

"If you continue to press me, I will detonate the Heart of Wind Wolf, and everyone you've brought with you, except yourself, will die. Flash Leopard tribe and Wind Wolf Line will be at war until death." Wind Wolf Town's High Priest shouted fiercely.A flash of dread passed through Flash Spirit's eyes. The high priest was right; if the Heart of Wind Wolf exploded, it meant that almost all Wind Wolves and Flash Leopards here would die. The explosion's power would be immense. And once the Heart of Wind Wolf exploded, it would certainly alarm the highest echelons of the Wind Wolf Line.

More importantly, the heart of a bloodline was crucial for the inheritance of each tribe. Once the bloodline heart was destroyed, it was akin to diminishing the bloodline's inheritance, a grievance second only to genocide. Should such a situation occur, even the Ancestral Court could not prevent retaliation. By then, a showdown between Wind Wolf and Flash Leopard was inevitable—a fight to the death.

Flash Spirit had not expected the existence of the Heart of Wind Wolf in this small town of Wind Wolf Town. It indeed had harbored an intent to kill just now. By seizing the chance with captured young clan members, it could slaughter all the Wind Wolf warriors here and would even have the moral ground.

However, it had not anticipated the Wind Wolf Town's High Priest's decisive action, actually bringing out the Heart of Wind Wolf. Once roused, even without detonation, containing it again would exact a significant toll. For the high priest, he must sacrifice his own bloodline power to stabilize the Heart of Wind Wolf.

Fierce light flickered in Flash Spirit's eyes as it bellowed, "Stop!"

The Flash Leopards who were launching their attacks finally halted.

Meanwhile, Tang San, at a distance, had just disengaged from a Fourth-stage Flash Leopard and once more concealed himself in the shadows.

What was that thing? Tang San was filled with curiosity about the Heart of Wind Wolf held by Wind Wolf Town's High Priest.

The instant the Heart of Wind Wolf was drawn out, the first thing he felt was a strong palpitation. This clearly threatened his own life. Immediately after, he felt his Wind Wolf Imprint heating up rapidly, becoming scorching in an instant. Through the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, he sensed that the Wind Wolf Imprint was filled with a longing for the Heart of Wind Wolf, as if it wanted to merge with it.

The Heart of Wind Wolf was undoubtedly not a part of the knowledge taught to him by Wang Yanfeng. However, its ability to deter a Seventh Stage powerhouse showed its profound significance for the Wind Wolf Line.

The battle in the town gradually ceased, and Tang San felt it was no longer appropriate to fish in troubled waters. Only during the clash did he have opportunities. But even in that brief duration, he had already devoured the bloodline power of seven or eight Wind Wolves and Flash Leopards.

One hundred and sixty breaths had passed. It was time for him to prepare to leave.

At the same time, Tang San also secretly marveled in his heart. His surprise was directed at the Redemption Organization.

The Tiger-faced Man had told him to leave after three hundred breaths. Yet the strength of the Flash Leopard tribe's warriors that had come was clearly enough to raze Wind Wolf Town to the ground, if not for the high priest revealing the Heart of Wind Wolf, which likely would have spelled the end for the town.

According to the previous instructions from the Tiger-faced Man, it seemed that they had already determined that the Flash Leopard's attack could not annihilate Wind Wolf Town. Because undoubtedly, if Wind Wolf Town were destroyed, as a Wind Wolf Vassal, Wang Yanfeng and others would surely be killed as well.

It seemed that the Redemption Organization had a very clear understanding of both parties' details when formulating their plan. They probably even guessed that the Wind Wolf Town's High Priest had the power to bring out that sphere.

At this moment, Flash Spirit said coldly, "You reveal the Heart of Wind Wolf and expect us to abandon our clansmen? Should we just forget the vengeance for hunting our young? You should know the consequence of your actions. Even if it escalates to the Ancestral Court, your Wind Wolf Line will certainly be severely punished."

The Wind Wolf Town's High Priest took a deep breath, of course aware that this matter would not be easily resolved. The blame fell on the greed of the Wind Wolf Town Lord.

Wind Wolf Town's High Priest said gravely, "This matter, the fault indeed lies with us. I admit that. But you have already killed many of our clansmen. I can hand over the still-living young of your tribe to you. Just as long as you're willing to retreat."

Flash Spirit was furious, "Is that it? Just letting the culprit off the hook? Do you have any idea what you're doing? If you insist on this course of action, even if it means all our clansmen die fighting here today, I am still determined to destroy everything here and then appeal for justice at the Ancestral Court. Do you really think we fear your relentless pursuit? You've slaughtered our young, and that is also a feud that cannot be quenched until death."

A determined look flashed in the eyes of the Wind Wolf Town's High Priest as she floated up, moving from the side of the Wind Wolf Town Lord to stabilize herself in the air, supported by the wind element.

"Fine, then I'll give you an explanation. Feng Xiong, you may leave. As the High Priest, I hereby declare that from this moment, you are stripped of your title as lord. From now on, you are no longer the leader of our Wind Wolf Town. Whatever you do next has nothing to do with the Wind Wolf Line either."

The Wind Wolf Town Lord was shocked; Feng Xiong was his name!

"High Priest, you..." The Wind Wolf Town Lord's eyes surged with a crimson light.

The Wind Wolf Town's High Priest roared, "Do you really want to see everything in Wind Wolf Town destroyed because of your stupidity? Get out, now!"

Feng Xiong seemed to realize something; gritting his teeth, he suddenly dashed away, speeding off into the distance.

Flash Spirit was about to move the very next moment, a Leopard Flash, aiming to block Feng Xiong's path.

But just then, a wall of wind abruptly rose in front of it, blocking its way.

Flash Spirit looked coldly at the Wind Wolf Town's High Priest and said icily, "What do you mean by this?"

The Wind Wolf Town's High Priest spoke calmly, "I can sense that some of your tribe's young ones are still alive. Shouldn't you go to their aid first?"

Flash Spirit's eyes narrowed slightly, and at this moment, drawing upon the effect of the bloodline enhancement previously provided by the High Priest, Wind Wolf Town Lord Feng Xiong had already run hundreds of meters.

"You, well done!" Flash Spirit's eyes flickered fiercely, but it was truly wary of the Heart of Wind Wolf in the hands of the Wind Wolf Town's High Priest. That thing could not be allowed to explode, for if it did, even as a Seventh Stage, it would be gravely injured. More importantly, it could not afford the responsibility of provoking a duel between the two tribes.

"Out of respect for the Heart of Wind Wolf, I'll give him a hundred breaths of time. I will not pursue him for a hundred breaths. After a hundred breaths, if you interfere again, it will be a fight to the death. Withdraw from Wind Wolf Town." As it spoke, it suddenly swung its right forepaw, and the clansmen of the Flash Leopard tribe retreated from the town like water.

The Wind Wolf Town's High Priest's gaze remained unchanged, quietly holding the Heart of Wind Wolf in her hand, silently watching everything unfold.

Without a doubt, with all the Flash Leopards having left the town, the threat of the Heart of Wind Wolf to Flash Spirit was much reduced. If it were to self-destruct, it would be all of Wind Wolf Town's Wind Wolf tribe that would perish. However, the condition given by Flash Spirit was also acceptable to the Wind Wolf Town's High Priest. A hundred breaths were enough for Feng Xiong to run a considerable distance. Although the Flash Leopards were known for their speed, Feng Xiong was definitely more familiar with the surrounding environment. If he couldn't escape even then, it would just mean bad luck for him. As for Feng Xiong's future prospects, that was not something the High Priest could determine. It would depend on the tribe's decision. As long as he wasn't found by the Flash Leopards, hiding for a while was a good option; after the storm passed, they'd see, and if needed, he could just relocate.

Flash Spirit, looking at the Wind Wolf Town's High Priest, narrowed its eyes slightly, "Though your cultivation base might not be very strong, to be able to wield the Heart of Wind Wolf, your bloodline must be extremely pure. You are no ordinary Wind Wolf. Why are you here?"

The Wind Wolf Town's High Priest replied indifferently, "If I still had the cultivation base I had back then, do you think you could be barking orders in front of me?"

Flash Spirit paused, looking at the aged face before it as if realizing something, but it did not speak further. Instead, it began to silently count the hundred breaths in its heart.
