Chapter 624: Release the Tiger

Has the Crimson Flame Tiger broken free from its restraints?

Song Song Shihua's face changed drastically!

The beast blood of the Crimson Flame Tiger is the key to the Zhu Yanguo's growth; once the Crimson Flame Tiger encounters trouble, it will inevitably affect the Zhu Yanguo's growth.

If the Zhu Yanguo encounters trouble, Ancestor Song Song Yushao's advancement to the second level of Heavenly Origin will also be affected.

The most serious consequence is that the entire Yunqishanzhuang will suffer destruction; by then, the Yunqishanzhuang cultivated by the Song family over two hundred years across several generations will turn to ruins, which is absolutely a matter that shakes the very foundation of the entire Song family.

"For no reason at all, how could the Crimson Flame Tiger break free from its restraints?"

Song Song Shihua's heart was filled with doubt, but he dared not be negligent; he roared, "Quickly send the signal and summon Ancestor Song Yushao!"

If the Crimson Flame Tiger breaks loose, even if everyone in Yunqishanzhuang dies, it will be of no use; only Song Song Yushao's arrival can help.

Fortunately, the Song family had long anticipated such events; between Qingyang City and Yunqishanzhuang, hidden messengers were set up every two or three li, capable of transmitting the matter to Qingyang City in an instant.

"Boom!"

A huge firework exploded in the sky above Yunqishanzhuang, its sound carrying several li away.

The next moment, another signal firework exploded in the distance.

"Everyone, follow me to the beast enclosure; we must absolutely prevent the Crimson Flame Tiger from escaping."

Song Song Shihua disregarded the matter of watering the Zhu Yanguo, dropped the large bucket, his entire body erupted with martial energy, and he flew toward the location of the crimson beast.

Just as he departed, a figure like a ghost flew in from the distance.

Xu Yang scooped up the Zhu Yanguo from the small tree, without hesitation stuffed it into the prepared jade box, and without stopping, he rushed toward the location of the other two spiritual herbs.

"Roar!"

The Crimson Flame Tiger's roar was like thunder, deafening.

When Song Song Shihua rushed to the cave imprisoning the Crimson Flame Tiger, he saw that the spiritual iron chains locking the Crimson Flame Tiger's neck had already broken, and the chains locking its four limbs had only three remaining.

The Crimson Flame Tiger, covered in flame patterns, was going mad, using its toothless mouth to bite the remaining chains, acting like a madman who only wanted to break free, even though its four limbs were already covered in blood.

Dozens of Song family disciples here were pressed by the Crimson Flame Tiger's overwhelming ferocious aura until their faces turned pale, and none dared to approach.

Song Song Shihua's pupils contracted; looking closely, he discovered that the broken chains were not snapped by immense force, but were cut by a blade, the cut surface smooth as a mirror.

This was done by a human!

"Be careful, someone has infiltrated the Shanzhuang; quickly go protect the spiritual herbs!"

He reacted, roaring sternly, his eyes full of killing intent scanning the crowd, wanting to find the suspicious person.

Qingyang City, Song Family!

"Boom!"

A huge roar sounded outside the city; at first, not many people paid attention, until they saw the exploded firework form a huge "Song" character in the sky!

This is the Song family's unique distress firework; according to different colors, it corresponds to different events.

"Ding-dong..."

Soon, nine urgent bell chimes rang out within the Song family.

Song Song Shirong, who was handling affairs in the study, saw his expression change drastically; nine bell chimes meant Yunqishanzhuang had emerged, requiring Ancestor Song Song Yushao to personally handle the situation.

Matters requiring Ancestor Song Song Yushao's personal handling were necessarily major events threatening the Song family's foundation.

"Ancestor, Yunqishanzhuang has encountered trouble!"

Song Song Shirong rushed out of the study and found the entire Song family in chaos; everyone was completely at a loss on how to respond.

Suddenly, a vast spiritual pressure erupted from the depths of the Song family, and terrifying blood qi instantly enveloped the entire Song family.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a roof exploded; Song Song Yushao, whose body radiated brilliant light, emitted overwhelming pressure and, like a deity, burst through the house and flew out.

"You all follow later!"

Song Song Yushao's voice, carrying his pressure, rang out; the moment his words ended, his figure had already vanished above the Song family, departing like a streak of flowing light.

Heavenly Origin martial artists already possess the ability to briefly fly through the air.

Seeing this, Song Song Shirong breathed a sigh of relief.

With Ancestor Song Yushao taking action, the matter should be resolved quickly.

"You, follow me; the rest guard the family well; if anyone dares to attack, kill them without mercy."

After selecting several Bone-Refining martial artists and making simple arrangements, Song Song Shirong led these people away from the Song family to head for Yunqishanzhuang.

The Song family has encountered trouble!

Nine bell chimes, plus the commotion of Song Song Yushao breaking through the sky and departing, meant the major powers in Qingyang City soon knew the Song family had encountered trouble.

No one knew what had happened, only that the fact that a Heavenly Origin expert had mobilized meant it was certainly not a small matter.

"Send someone, find the Second Elder for me, and have him send people to the Song family to probe the situation; what exactly has happened to the Song family?" the Ding family head spoke.

At the same time, other top families in Qingyang City made similar moves, wanting to figure out exactly what had happened to the Song family.

Yunqishanzhuang!

The Crimson Flame Tiger was still struggling; even though the taut chains had left its paws covered in flesh and blood, it did not stop.

Imprisoned for over ten years, it finally had a chance to break free; it would not fear excruciating pain.

"Elder, what should we do?" someone looked at Song Song Shihua.

A ferocious beast comparable to a Heavenly Origin martial artist; even though imprisoned by the Song family for over ten years and bled daily, its ferocious aura had not diminished in the slightest; even Song Song Shihua, whose cultivation base had reached the peak of Bone-Refining, could not withstand the Crimson Flame Tiger's ferocious aura to approach.

Moreover, at this moment, the Crimson Flame Tiger's neck and one leg were free from restraint; even if Song Song Shihua could withstand the pressure and approach, he would merely be a meal for the Crimson Flame Tiger.

"We can only wait; Ancestor Song Yushao should arrive very soon!" Song Song Shihua said heavily.

The Crimson Flame Tiger's ferocious aura was overwhelming, and its physique was strong; he was completely helpless.

"Elder, it's bad news! The Zhu Yanguo and two other spiritual herbs have been picked by someone."

Just then, the person sent to guard the spiritual herbs returned and reported the theft to Song Song Shihua.

"Bastard!" Upon hearing this, Song Song Shihua's eyes nearly split from fury.

The other members of the Song family, upon hearing the news, were likewise filled with uncontrollable rage.

The other two spiritual herbs were less critical, as their ages were not great, but the Zhu Yanguo was the key for the ancestral founder Song Song Yushao to break through to the second level of Heavenly Origin; at this precarious moment, this was tantamount to digging up the Song family by the roots.

"Dig three feet into the earth if you must, but find that person; he is still within the Shanzhuang," Song Song Shihua shouted sternly.

"Elder, what about the Crimson Flame Tiger?" someone asked.

"Never mind it; the Crimson Flame Tiger cannot break free for a Yishiban Society, and the Zhu Yanguo is what matters."

They could only stand here watching helplessly; without finding the Zhu Yanguo, what use was it even if the Crimson Flame Tiger remained unharmed?

"Bang!"

No sooner had Song Song Shihua's voice fallen than the sound of snapping iron chains rang out.

He turned his head in horror to look, only to see that among the remaining three chains, one had been snapped by the Crimson Flame Tiger.

At the point of rupture, there was a fine cut, clearly indicating prior tampering.

"This is bad!" Song Song Shihua's expression changed drastically.
