Monarch Of Time

Chapter 83 - 83 Challenge

Shun Long was shocked to find out that he had only won the 4th place.

Based on his estimations, unless the 3 geniuses from the other 3 sects didnʼt head in the inner region at all and only hunted for sect points in the outer region, they shouldnʼt have been able to gather more points than him.

Lan Hong however, looked at Hui Zhong with a mix of both anger and disdain as he said

ʼʼYou really have the face to speak? Old man, I definitely didnʼt expect you to be so shameless. You actually had the disciples of your sect hand their survival points to your grandson and you still think that your family has any face left ?ʼʼ

Hui Zhong wasnʼt angered at all by Grand Elder Lan Hongʼs insults. Instead he looked at him gloatingly as he said

ʼʼThis is called strategy old Lan. What do you know? If you were smart enough, you would have done the same as well as the rest of us.ʼʼ

Shun Long finally understood what had happened.

ʼʼMaster, these people are too shameless!ʼʼ Little Black felt indignation for Shun Long.

ʼʼAlthough you could call them unfair or shameless, the fault still lies with the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ. After all, for the other 3 sects to do the same thing under the ʼfloating cloud sectʼsʼ nose is truly shameful for them. However, I do feel that itʼs a pity that I canʼt get my hands on that rank 3 ʼBlood Vermilion fruitʼ.ʼʼ

The ʼBlood Vermilion Fruitʼ would have really helped Shun Long advance in his cultivation by quite a bit.

Grand Elder Lan Hong looked at the group of the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ and said

ʼʼWe will wait here for 2 more days. If no disciple shows up after these 2 days, we will assume that they have died inside and will return back to the ʼfloating cloud cityʼ.ʼʼ

After hearing Lan Hongʼs command, the disciples set up camp outside the Demonic Mountain region.

However, it seemed as if Shun Long was really among the last people that had left the region. In the next 2 days, very few disciples actually showed up, and Grand Elder Lan Hong summoned everyone to return back to the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ.

ʼʼI expected less than 10.000 disciples to come back alive from this ʼouter sect examinationʼ. I guess they are lucky that we had to cancel it ahead of time, or there would definitely have been more than just 20.000 that died this time.ʼʼ Elder Zhu was chatting with Elder Lu as they were heading back to the ʼfloating cloud sectʼ.

Their return journey was just as peaceful as the first one and 7 days later, they had arrived outside the ʼfloating cloud cityʼ.

The people inside the city were startled to see the huge group of new disciples returning back to the sect.

Not even a month had passed since the Grand Elderʼs group had set out. And yet they had already returned back to the sect. Something must have definitely happened.

The disciples inside the Demonic Mountain region that participated in the sect exam, had also asked the Grand Elder why they were called out prem.a.t.u.r.ely, but the Elder simply didnʼt answer.

After entering the city, Elder Lu Cheng called for the disciples to disperse while he had Shun Long, Guan Hong, and a female disciple called Fen Liqing that was also at the peak of rank 3 in earth grade, to come to the administration building with him to obtain their rewards.

Following the Grand Elder and the other 2 Elders, Shun Long soon arrived in front of the huge ʼAdministration Buildingʼ. Inside, the disciples hurriedly bowed to the Grand Elder who directly asked to meet Administrator Feng.

A middle-aged man could be seen running from the distance, as he soon arrived in front of the Grand Elder and politely greeted

ʼʼGreetings to the Grand Elder.ʼʼ

The Grand Elder, Lan Hong nodded his head at Administrator Feng who looked at him puzzledly, obviously wondering why they had returned back to the sect so soon when he said

ʼʼXiao Feng, give them the prizes for the top 3. First place is Shun Long, second place is Guan Hong and third place is Fen Liqing.ʼʼ Lan Hong said as he introduced the disciples to Administrator Feng one by one.

It seemed that neither Lu Cheng, nor Administrator Feng whom Shun Long had met in the past realized who he was.

ʼʼHaa, 100 spirit stones is really not a small sum.ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head at Administrator Feng without really paying much attention to his words when Grand Elder Lan Hong suddenly ordered them to leave as he had some matters to discuss with Administrator Feng.

Not just Shun Long and the rest, the entire 3rd floor of the ʼAdministration Buildingʼ was quickly cleared from all the disciples. Only the Grand Elder, the Administrator and the 2 Elders were left inside.

As they left the building, Guan Hong turned his head at Shun Long and said

ʼʼI donʼt know where you came from or how you gathered so many sect points, but I have my eye on you now. You better not become a laughingstock and forfeit when I challenge you in the arena in the upcoming days.ʼʼ

Shun Long looked at Guan Hong inquiringly, but Guan Hong simply snorted and left. Fen Liqing also cupped her fists at Shun Long before she went on her own way.

Shun Long then, decided to rent a room in the most expensive pavilion inside the ʼouter cityʼ, the

ʼMystifying Fragrance pavilionʼ.
