Chapter 295: Abandoned Thunder God City
Chapter 295: Abandoned Thunder God City
The deep and mighty voice disappeared from his ears and the purple light in front of Feng Xiao also disappeared. When he opened his eyes, he knitted his brows as he looked at the surrounding land and buildings.
This……was Thunder God City?
The luxury of Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, the simplicity of Fire God City, the coldness of the City of Ice……This place was clearly abandoned! The yellow land in front of him had a trace of purple to it and there were also traces of green from time to time. The surroundings didn’t have buildings that were large and splendid, they were mostly destroyed and looked like they were about to collapse. Even most of the buildings around him had clear holes that weren’t patched up.
When he looked further, there was a large city gate in the distance. On the other side of the city gate was the main city that ruled the west, Thunder God City.
Feng Xiao gave a sigh as he felt a bit of sympathy for Thunder God City’s fate. With a thought, there was a token with a faint purple glow that appeared in his hand. This token was the size of his palm and was rectangular, but there was a large tiger head engraved in the center. The tiger’s mouth was open and it gave off an unparalleled overwhelming presence.
White Tiger Token: A token representing the arrival of the White Tiger.
Feng Xiao was first surprised before smiling so hard that his lips almost fell off. All living beings took the White Tiger as their belief and one and only true god in the west. With this White Tiger Token, he would have even more influence than the emperor! He could go wherever he wanted to go!
Putting the White Tiger Token in his inventory, a large stone fell in Feng Xiao’s heart. With a thought and a flash of white light, he used the “Thousand Mile Tracking Talisman” to appear by Bao Bao’s side. Before she could react, he picked up her slender elf body and waved his hand to Xi Ruo before returning.
“Big brother Asura, you scared me just now.” Bao Bao patted her little chest. She had a cute little panicked look, but there was also a smile on her lips.
“Alright……I won’t dare next time.” Feng Xiao said with a smile beside her cute ear before turning to look forward, “This is Thunder God City……Xiao Bai, let’s go. We’re going in.”
“Why is this place like this? It’s even uglier than uncle Fire Emperor’s place.” Bao Bao curiously looked around with a confused look in her large clear eyes. Perhaps she had never seen such a ruined place in her life. Compared to the coloured glazed tiles of Heavenly Dragon Imperial City and the aura there, this place had a very strong effect on her.
“This place was ruined a long time ago by a very powerful bad person, so it became like this.” Feng Xiao explained casually as his eyes looked at the city gates that were approaching.
From time to time, they would pass by some listless bystanders. Even when this white shadow went overhead, they wouldn’t react at all as if they cared about nothing.
Indeed, this was Thunder God City that was filled with disasters and void of everything, so the only thing that they cared about was living for tomorrow. As NPCs, they would starve to death if they didn’t eat for a long time.
“Bad person? Was that bad person chased out?” Bao Bao asked with sparkling wide eyes. She had already decided on the meaning of bad person, it was anyone that big brother Asura and big sister Yao’er didn’t like.
“Un! He was already chased out, but he might come back one day.” Feng Xiao said with a faint smile. Indeed, his previous experience told him that the Demon Monarch would awaken one day and would become even stronger. As for when he woke up, it might be ten years, a year, a month……or even immediately.
“Ah……Then we have to help these people chase him away again, alright?” Bao Bao raised her little fist with an excited look on her face.
“Un, alright.” Feng Xiao shook his head with a smile. The Azure Dragon and White Tiger had all expressed that he would have to face that Demon Monarch one day.
The Five Sacred Beasts couldn’t even defeat the Demon Monarch together, how could he face him?
As the city gates came closer, Feng Xiao called back Xiao Bai and walked over holding Bao Bao’s little hand.
Seeing someone approach, the city guard leader opened his eyes halfway before suddenly standing up and vigilantly looking at him.
Feng Xiao used his Heavenly Eyes to look at the city guards before secretly shaking his head. Compared to the level 100 guards of Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, the guards here were too weak. Their levels weren’t much higher than his.
“Who are you people?” The guard leader asked with a vigilant look. He had been guarding this gate for many years, so he recognized most of the people outside of the city, but he didn’t have any impressions of the two in front of him. The most conspicuous thing was that their clothes were completely different.
Bao Bao naturally looked at her big brother Asura. Feng Xiao was too lazy to reply, so with a wave of his hand, the purple glowing rectangular token appeared in front of the guards.
This faint purple glow made them submit in their hearts. When they saw the mighty tiger head on the token, most of them fell on their butts in excitement and the ones standing were all trembling.
“White, white, white……White Tiger Token!” The leader stuttered out as his legs turned soft and he kneeled.
Feng Xiao already expected this reaction from them, so he took back the token with curled lips, “Let’s go, we’re going in.”
Bao Bao nodded in a bit of a daze as she walked in with Feng Xiao. The guards at the gate were all stunned there and not a single one of them made a sound. They were still deeply immersed in the shock of the White Tiger Token.
“Quickly……What are you in a daze for! Quickly inform our majesty right away, tell him that the White Tiger Token has appeared and have him prepare to greet him……” The leader was the first to react as he started shouting out. At the same time, he wiped the sweat of excitement that came from his head. He never would have dreamed that he would be able to see the White Tiger Token that only existed in legends that had been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of Thunder God City.
The great White Tiger God had finally sent the emissary to save us? His hands trembled in excitement.
The biggest city in the west made Feng Xiao shake his head from how poor it was. What surprised him was that the weapons and potions here were sold very cheap, not even half of what it was in other places. The owner of the weapon and potion store had distressed looks, like they didn’t want to continue this business. But the food here was strangely expensive and the quality wasn’t good. Other than NPCs, players wouldn’t even take a look at this.
“If you resold potions and equipment, you would be able to earn quite a bit.” Feng Xioa couldn’t help thinking. It was a pity that he was the only one that could pass through the Forbidden Thunder God Area.
After continuing for an hour, the luxurious and big palace gates appeared in front of him.
“This should be Thunder God City’s royal palace, but it’s also this ruined. What kind of lives are people living here?” Feng Xiao couldn’t help giving a sigh as he revealed a look of sympathy.
“It’s a very normal thing for the people living here. It’s very hard to grow food here and there are very few sources of food, so quite a few people starve to death every day. Filling their stomachs and keeping warm is a problem, so who would spend resources and manpower maintaining the buildings?” Xuanyuan Wan’er explained as her voice was also filled with sympathy.
“Wu, compared to Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, they aren’t even living human lives.” Feng Xiao rolled his eyes. The disparity! This was the disparity between the imperial city and this main city.
The two of them attracted everyone’s attention as they passed by because the clothes they were wearing were very “attractive”. But they only took a few looks before they didn’t care about things unrelated to their survival.
The two at the palace gates saw them coming and their minds focused as they looked at each other. One of them ran into the palace as quickly as possible, while the other took a deep breath and lowered his head to welcome them.
“He……Hello, honourable White Tiger Emissary. Please follow me, his majesty has been waiting a long time.” The white clothed guard’s head couldn’t be any lower, but it seemed like he wanted to put it even lower.
After a long time of suffering, they finally saw a bit of hope. Naturally their excitement was not something that others could understand.
“White Tiger Emissary?” Bao Bao looked at the person who was so excited that he didn’t know where to put his hands with a curious look before looking at her big brother Asura, “Big brother Asura, is he talking about you?”
“Un!” Feng Xiao gave a laugh before waving his hand, “Lead the way.”
He had already expected this scene. Only the “White Tiger Emissary” title surprised him a bit.
The white clothed guard excitedly agreed and led the way with his head lowered. He did his best to stop himself from peeking at the “White Tiger Emissary” and the little girl with the mask behind him.
The palace gates opened and over a hundred people lined up in rows respectfully stood there. These were the high ranking officials of Thunder God City. They were immediately gathered with the highest order and they didn’t seem to be in chaos, or rather they didn’t dare to act chaotic.
The one in front of them had a much more majestic set of clothes. He had a purple golden crown, purple jade robes, and sandalwood red shoes. His face was rough and filled with prestige. He also stood there with a look of anticipation and respect, looking at the palace gates.
When Feng Xiao appeared with Bao Bao, he was met with hundreds of excited, passionate, and doubtful looks. The small hand in his hand shrank back a bit, but he tightly held it and looked at Bao Bao with a faint smile. Only then did Bao Bao not feel nervous.
While being stared at by all these people, not to mention Bao Bao, even Feng Xiao’s heart was beating fast. He walked over with a calm look on his face while also revealing the White Tiger Token in his hand that released a faint purple glow.
