Chapter 254 White Tiger Shrine
"Where do we go now? I came to your stupid shrine. You saw it. It's over. Let us get going. I am not in the mood to look at your statue." Liu Feng said.
"Wait a moment. I have to retrieve something." Liu Man jumped out of Liu Feng's body and lept at the idol. Everyone could see the white streak that left Liu Feng's body and headed toward the shrine.
"Some maniac is attacking the shrine! Secure it!" someone shouted.
Liu Feng felt many divine sense lock onto him. He looked at Liu Man with panic, but Liu Man was already on top of the idol, sitting on the head of the statue.
"What did you release, you bastard?" Liu Feng heard the voice of someone behind him. It was a woman, and she sounded young.
He did not need to turn to know that she was in the peak rank of the Soul Evolution stage, someone that he could not offend.
"Just look there yourself. It's not like I can contain a tiger." Liu Feng sighed and pointed.
Everyone who was strong enough could see who was perching up on the idol. A white tiger was a symbol of good luck after all. And seeing this white tiger on the true white tiger's idol seemed like something out of a fairy tale.
The idol suddenly started vibrating. Liu Feng could feel the ground shake. Pieces of the idol were falling down, and the entire tiger was collpasing.
All those around it started retreating chaotically, while a sharp object pinned Liu Feng's neck.
"What did you do? Why is the idol collapsing? If you do not stop this, then you will not leave here with your neck." the woman behind him coldly said.
"It's not like I am the one doing this. That tiger is. Why does everyone blame me for what he does? Liu Man, what the hell are you trying to pull here?" Liu Feng shouted at him.
Liu Man jumped off of the crumbling tiger and strolled towards Liu Feng calmly. He glanced behind Liu Feng and nodded.
"The idol is pointless now. It is a testament to the strength of the previous white tiger. Now that I have reincarnated again, new tales must be told." Liu Man chuckled.
"What impudence! To think that a tiger would let his mouth run like that. I will put you in your place." the woman behind Liu Feng shouted and Liu Feng saw a streak of light dash towards Liu Man.
But before he could even respond, the streak of light was met by a white barrier that formed right in front of Liu Man.
Liu Feng looked shocked. So did everyone else in the shrine. However, the most shocked was the woman who attacked. She looked up at what had just defended her attack.
This white barrier was coming from none other than the idol that was collpasing. The stream of Qi was visible to every cultivator.
Why would the idol of the great white tiger, the idol which had its own will, help defend the tiger that brought down the idol itself?
"It looks like my time here is done. The reincarnation is finally here. I hope that all goes according to plan." a deep voice came from within the center of the idol, which had not collapsed yet.
And then, all the stone that made up the idol suddenly vanished, becoming dust.
"What just happened? Was that the White Tiger?" someone on the sidelines asked, his voice trembling. No one dared to assume anything.
They just came here to look at the idol of the White tiger, and yet the idol disappeared? And it even gave its last words?
"The prophecy has finally come to its fruition! The White Tiger has returned!" the woman who was in front of Liu Feng now spoke. Although Liu Feng could not see her, he could sense the trembling voice. She was crying?
"I swear to god, the cult that he made here, it is too insane. When I grow stronger, I should do something like this as well. To think that he has people literally worshipping him for thousands of years." Liu Feng shook his head as he thought about this inside.
He didn't dare voice these thoughts to this crazed world.
Liu Man did not even glance at the woman who was on the ground, looking at him with a face of worship. He looked at Liu Feng and nodded.
Then, he jumped up, turning into human form, and then walked to Liu Feng.
"Our work here is done. Let us go get the boundary stone, and we can leave this place." Liu Man said.
"That's it? We are just leaving? I would think that you would hold a lot of sentiment to a place that you call the White Tiger Cave. And because of me, you were forced to stay in the Forest of Dreams for a year and half." Liu Feng asked.
"That was my previous life. If I keep dwelling on what happened in my past life, then I could spend all of my time here, reliving that life. But I am here for a reason. And to do that, I must look forward. I have been with you a long time. And never have you looked back in your previous life and delved in it too much. Why should I?" Liu Man shook his head, walking past Liu Feng.
"My Lord! Is is true? You have returned to the world?" the woman who was on the ground regained her senses.
Liu Man glanced at her once more.
"You are the shrine protector of this generation? Too bad, it looks like you failed your job. Do not worry about it. Maybe in a few decades, I will return, and the shrine can be rebuilt." Liu Man chuckled, and started walking.
Liu Feng took one step, and he appeared next to Liu Man, walking next to him.
"Where do we get the boundary stone? I mean, you kept at least one somewhere right? Or are all of them with the White Tiger Cave?" Liu Feng asked.
"Why would I keep some of them with me? All of them are with them." Liu Man chuckled.
They both left, leaving a dumbfolded shrine protector, and all the other pilgrims.
