In the basement, the white wolf stood over the man's remains, a look of glee on its face. Only a skeleton covered in skin was left of the man. The sight was momentarily pleasing until it reminded the wolf of its mother's and sister's deaths. Anger took over, and the wolf attacked the skeletal remains with all its might, pulverizing them into dust that filled the basement.
The wolf was shocked by its power. It hadn't expected to become so strong so soon. As it realized its new strength, a wave of sadness welled up in its heart. The wolf quickly suppressed the feeling and prepared to leave. It picked up the man's clothes and hid them at the bottom of a dirty box in the corner.
The only thing left was a pool of blood on the floor. The wolf had used its mouth to carry the clothes but didn't want to clean the floor with its tongue. For a few seconds, it looked at the blood with conflict in its eyes before surrendering to the circumstances. It licked the blood off the floor, and in a single minute, the floor was cleaner than it had ever been.
As the wolf walked toward the door, it suddenly fell to the ground from a sharp pain in its head. It clutched its head with its feet, and its howls were filled with agony. It felt as though fiery drums were being beaten inside its skull. Blood flowed from its ears and nostrils, and its eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out. For two hours, the wolf lay in the basement howling in a pain that would send a grown man to an early grave. It was on the brink of passing out but had a feeling that if it lost consciousness, it would never wake up again. This forced the wolf to maintain its awareness using a strong will forged by thoughts of vengeance. For the entire two hours in the basement, it stayed conscious and endured the pain.
When the pain finally ended, the wolf lay on the ground, breathing heavily. It rested for about thirty minutes before getting up and leaving the basement. Darkness had already replaced the light, and the mansion seemed empty. The wolf made some preparations before running out of the mansion and into the city streets. The city had been transformed into a hollow tomb, its streets stripped of life and echoing with an unnatural, suffocating silence, suggesting the populace had been paralyzed by a grim premonition delivered by those in power, warning them that the night was destined to be a maelstrom of violence rather than a time of rest.
Through the desolate, tomb-like arteries of the city, the wolf moved like a white phantom. The beast streaked toward the imperial citadel, its form a blurred shadow of predatory intent. The palace sat like a stone titan at the city's heart, watching over the impending chaos. With every strike of its paws, its velocity surged exponentially; whenever it brushed against the ceiling of its own mortality, the wolf shattered that barrier, accelerating into a realm of pure kinetic energy. Ultimately, the beast dissolved into a jagged streak of silver lightning, pulverizing the cobblestones and leaving a wake of shattered masonry in its path. world, pulverizing every inch of ground it conquered was left reeling from the pressure of its sudden, violent passage as the sonic shock waves and gale-force winds birthed by its impossible speed lashed out at the world,pulverizing the storefront windows into a glittering rain of lethal crystal shards. They even destroyed some buildings made with weak materials, blowing them away and filling the air with dust and shattered timber.
In a few seconds, the wolf reached the palace walls. The white walls were tall and looked thick enough to stop most cultivators, unless they could fly. In all its years in human society, it had never seen a cultivator who could fly; it had only heard about them in stories. The wolf looked at the wall and knew it couldn't get through by brute force. It ran five hundred feet away from the wall in the direction it had come from. Then, it sprinted back toward the wall at an extremely high speed. As it reached the wall, the wolf had turned into a single white line that moved up the wall in less than a second and disappeared beyond it.
