Monarch of Time

Sheng Huang's expression finally changed as he seemed to have realized that Shun Long's words were probably correct.

Indeed, as long as those Elders who were interested in a dragon heard that there is a living, breathing dragon somewhere in the Night star continent, they wouldn't even bother with a small early-stage Nascent Soul outer disciple of the sect and would depend on their own resources to find his location.

Besides, the chances that Shun Long really knew the actual location of the dragon were most likely going to be nonexistent in the Elders' eyes.

Taking a step forward, Shun Long appeared next to Sheng Huang who could barely hold himself back from attacking him with his warhammer and killing him in an instant, but Shun Long simply muttered a single word, as he and Liu Mei walked past the golden robed prince of the Shentian dynasty and the young lord of the 'Mercenaries' Association' that were blocking his way, and towards the inner court gates in the distance

''Idiots.''

Sheng Huang's face instantly turned bright red with anger, while even Zhong Fang's chubby face had a murderous expression inside it, but in the end, they both allowed Shun Long and Liu Mei to keep walking forward while they stared at his back with a murderous look in their eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Fang looked at Sheng Huang before he said seriously

''Brother Huang, there is no reason for us to be rash and fight against that brat. Right now although he is definitely unable to use his bloodline, his cultivation has most likely advanced to the early... no, to the middle of rank 2 in the Nascent Soul already. Although I don't want to admit it, but even with your cultivation at the early rank 4 of the Nascent Soul, you may not necessarily be able to defeat him. Besides, that kid may not accept a deathmatch challenge in the arena in the first place!''

''What are you trying to say?''

It was obvious that Sheng Huang was still irritated, as his tone held no trace of politeness when he responded to Zhong Fang, while his eyes were still glued on Shun Long's and Liu Mei's disappearing backs.

Zhong Fang's eyes narrowed when he saw Sheng Huang snapping at him, but a smile was still formed on his lips barely a moment later as he shook his head and continued

''Brother Huang seems to have misunderstood me. Although you may not be able to defeat that brat now, it doesn't mean that you won't be able to defeat him in the future either. As long as you manage to breakthrough to the middle of the fifth stage in body refinement, with your Dao of Destruction you will definitely be able to kill him without any issue. Even though Shun Long seems to also be a body refiner, he is still only at the peak of the fourth stage, making his body refinement cultivation essentially useless. Even if he breaks through to the early fifth stage in the future, he will still not be a match for brother Huang who will have definitely broken through again by then.''

Sheng Huang's eyes lit up with a bright light, while the murderous intentions inside his eyes only became even stronger! Indeed, as long as he broke through to the middle of the fifth stage in body refinement, Shun Long was as good as dead. Of course, he wouldn't tell Shun Long about his breakthrough beforehand, and would simply kill him in one strike.

With both his body refinement cultivation and his Dao of Destruction, even Shun Long with his Dao of Space and his star-rank sword won't be able to withstand a few strikes against him.

After all, Sheng Huang's strongest attribute was his offensive ability!

As long as the 2 of them were trapped inside the arena in a deathmatch, Shun Long's death would practically be assured.

At the same time, Shun Long simply smirked as he felt the dense killing intent coming from Sheng Huang's gaze behind him, as he and Liu Mei continued walking towards the inner court gates.

No matter what, he wouldn't shy away from fighting against Sheng Huang to begin with. Since this prince of the Shengtian dynasty had not only shown killing intent against him twice already but had even eyed his black sword and tried to threaten him, there was no way that Shun Long would allow him to stroll freely in the sect.

However, although Shun Long was certain that he was already stronger than Sheng Huang, in a situation where he wouldn't easily expose his Dao of Time, he wouldn't take this prince of the Shengtian dynasty -who had already comprehended the Dao of Destruction- lightly.

A few moments later, Shun Long and Liu Mei had already arrived in front of the inner court gates, when the 2 disciples of the 'Enforcement Hall' that were guarding the gates took a step forward before one of them shouted

''Halt! What are you doing here?''

At the same time, the 2 disciples that were guarding the huge black gates both burst out with their auras that were at the middle of rank 9 and the peak of rank 9 of the Nascent Soul stage respectively, ready to attack as long as Shun Long and Liu Mei tried to trespass within the inner court.

Waving her hand, Liu Mei took out a golden-colored token from her spatial ring and showed it to the 2 'Enforcement Hall' disciples in front of her, before she said in her usual apathetic voice

''I am the personal disciple of Elder Xuan. I am here to complete the 'master and disciple' ceremony with my master!''

The 2 disciples of the 'Enforcement Hall' both trembled barely a moment later as they stared at the golden token in Liu Mei's hands that had the word 'Xuan' on it, before they turned their eyes towards Liu Mei herself, while looks of disbelief had covered their faces.
