Chapter 262 Coming Back
Wind was blowing on his face.
When Liu Feng opened his eyes, all he could see was grey. And clouds.
Clouds?
"Where the hell am I? And why am I falling mid-air?!" Liu Feng freaked out. He looked around and try to command his Qi to lift him up, to try and fly.
But the altitude was too high. He could not fly yet. He had to descend first. He flipped around to look at where he was.
The mountain to his front was something that he could not forget. The mountain range was so tall that he could not see what was past it. He started accelerating downwards even more, a desperate attempt to gain back control.
He transformed himself into a Kun Peng, a full fledged one, and flapped his wings.
Instanty, he appeared on the mountain side, and clung on to the rocks, dragging them as he fell down with his momentum.
But eventually, he stopped, and could finally take a moment to breathe.
Looking down, there were a few more kilometers to go through. But Liu Man was nowhere to be seen.
"He warned me of this, so he should be prepared. I should just try and get to the bottom now." Liu Feng thought to himself and he let go of the mountain side.
He started freefalling down, but before he accelerated out of control, he clung to the mountain once more. With drops like these, he managed to slowly enter the region where he could breathe freely.
Looking at the dots on the bottom, he was reminded of the mortals who came to the mountain to worship the white tiger.
He jumped away from the mountain and unfurled his wings. The wind tried to pierce through his wings, but he persisted.
Descending down like a flacon\'s dive, within mere minutes, he could see a clearer view of the ground. Nothing had changed since the last time he was here, a whole two years ago.
He flapped his wings, and could finally control his descent properly.
Landing slowly on the ground, he transformed back into a human, and popped a few Qi restoration pills that he prepared himself.
One and half years was a long time, and as an alchemist in an alchemist\'s dream space, he took as much advantage as he could.
"You are finally here. I was wondering how long you would take to get here." Liu Feng heard a familiar voice beside him.
"Yeah, your warning could have been more specific. Now then, you have to tell me now. Why the hell were you dying to get out of that world?" Liu Feng asked.
"You must have noticed that over the last year, my personality has changed a little." Liu Man sighed.
"No Sh!t! Yeah, I saw that. You were acting like you were the king of the world." Liu Feng said.
"That was because of the aura of the previous white tiger that was influencing me. The preparations that the previous white tiger put in place was what it thought was necessary. But some times, it is better if I remain separate from him. We should not become one and the same. The last white tiger was feared for its killing sprees. I think that I am different. I needed to leave as fast as possible, or I would lose myself to my previous self." Liu Man explained.
"And you couldn\'t have told me this before because?"
"The people in that world, they are the underlings of the previous white tiger. Why would they help someone who wanted to be as further from him as possible? But I am still going to need to ask you to hurry. Remember that you need to use an ancient portal to get to the Tiandu Kingdom of yours. And for that, you need to rush to the Mysterious Kingdom." Liu Man said.
"I am going to get there. Are you going to come along side me, or change form and sleep comfortably?" Liu Feng asked.
"Better stretch my muscles. It is going to be an easier and faster journey this time though. So let us rush through." Liu Man said, and his form morphed.
From his human form, he became a large tiger, with wings on his back! The wings of feathers that seemed to be impervious to any dust shone with a brilliance that Liu Feng had never seen before.
"Let us get going." Liu Man said, and he moved.
The moment that Liu Man flapped his wings, a gust of wind blew and Liu Man disappeared.
Liu Feng also moved. He transformed back, and started chasing after Liu Man at a terrifying speed.
They were moving so fast that they couldn\'t make anything out of their surroundings even.
Plains passed by, and so did the mountains.
In an hour, the mountains were no longer visible, and the plains were all that lay in front of them.

"Is there any news on them yet? Have you heard of two people in the eastern end?" a woman sat at the end of a hall, with her hands pursed on her exhausted face.
"No, master. It is like they completely disappeared from the world. And there is no chance that they crossed the seventh sea. The distance is too much, and we will know if a vessel was inbound." a young girl said, kneeling in front of the woman.
"How could someone be so reckless? They came here for protection, but instead, they ran away? Li Tian is freaking out on the other side. How the hell do I answer him?" the woman was clearly irritated.
"Should we look at the mortal sites, master? They might have gone to the edge of the great plains." the girl asked.
"If they did, then it will take a whole month for a messenger to go forth and come back. We cannot afford someone beyond the Xiantian level at this time. The world is too tense right now." she shook her head.
"Master! Something shocking has happened! There is someone at the gate that you should see!" another young woman rushed into the hall.
