Monarch Of Time

Chapter 305 - 305 A miserable situation

A stifling feeling appeared in Liu Meiʼs heart when she saw the medium-sized city in the distance.

This was the place where she was born, and yet it was also the place where she had to run away from as well.

As the city in front of her was slowly being enlarged in her eyes as the black panther approached closer and closer to it, the feeling inside Shun Longʼs heart was becoming even more tangible.

It was like someone had hit his heart with a hammer, making him feel pain from the powerful impact.

Less than 2 minutes later, the black panther flapped its silver wings as it hovered in the sky above the ʼFloating cloud cityʼ.

Although Shun Long was anxious to return back, he still stopped for a moment, and looking at Liu Mei he asked

ʼʼMeiʼer, do you want to go and see your mother first?ʼʼ

Shun Long didnʼt have a single doubt, that with Liu Meiʼs current cultivation at the middle of rank 4 of the Spirit realm, her undead army could completely flatten the whole ʼFloating Cloud cityʼ.

No, even without her undead army, the only one who would be able to fight against her head-on, would be the ʼFloating Cloud sectʼsʼ sect master, Liu Meiʼs father, Liu Jian.

After thinking seriously for a moment, Liu Mei shook her head in the end.

Although seeing her mother as early as possible was important, she knew that the chances of her motherʼs life being in danger while she was still inside the ʼFloating Cloud cityʼ were practically zero.

However, the situation of Shun Longʼs parents was a completely different story.

Nodding his head, a warm feeling filled Shun Longʼs heart, and without another word, the ʼSIlver-winged panther kingʼ continued to fly forward, without waiting for Liu Jian and the other Elders of the ʼFloating Cloud sectʼ to come and welcome them.

The barrier that separated the ʼCultivation worldʼ from the ʼMortal worldʼ soon appeared in Shun Longʼs eyes, before the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ effortlessly slashed it open with its silver wings and passed through it.

The thin qi from the ʼMortal worldʼ gave Shun Long a nostalgic feeling... that of a person who had returned home after a long time.

After lowering his gaze to stare at the sea below him, Shun Long locked his eyes on a certain island, before he had the black panther fly towards it at full speed.

The panther descended from the sky like a silver-colored meteor, as it tore through the clouds and appeared on that island in less than a minute.

One after another, Shun Long saw the mortal kingdoms around him flash through his eyes, while the feeling of anxiousness in his heart deepened with every passing second.

A few moments later, Shun Long had already arrived at the outskirts of the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼ, when a shocking scene appeared in his eyes.

In the cities surrounding the imperial city of the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼ, the roads, the houses of people, everything, was bathed with blood.

Soldiers wearing bronze armor seemed to have taken over the cities around the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼ, pillaging everything in sight.

Shun Long could see kids crying, while the headless corpses of men and women were lying on the streets.

ʼʼHow could this happen?ʼʼ

Shun Longʼs feeling were getting agitated with every passing moment, and without stopping, the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ flew like a blur, and soon it arrived in the ʼBlue Forest cityʼ.

The sight that greeted Shun Longʼs and Liu Meiʼs however, was that of utter devastation!

The 10m(33ft) tall walls were more than halfway destroyed, while the corpses of countless soldiers that were wearing the insignia of the ʼBlue Forest cityʼsʼ army, as well as the city lordʼs personal army were lying on the fields outside the city.

However, almost no cries could be heard from the city, as if everything had fallen dead silent.

Shun Longʼs gaze quickly fell on a single head without a body, that was now hanging outside the ʼBlue Forest cityʼsʼ gates.

Shun Long felt shock filling his heart, when he recognized the man that was hanged outside the city.

This was the ʼBlue Forest cityʼsʼ city lord, Zhen Wang!

Although Shun Longʼs family didnʼt have an extremely good relationship with this man, Shun Long had already heard from Shun An how the city lord had tried to curry favor with his father, once Shun Fang became a Duke of the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼ!

Even if Shun Fang didnʼt like this man, there was no way that he would allow him to get hanged outside the city, unless something really terrible had happened.

On top of the ʼBlue Forest cityʼsʼ city walls, Shun Long saw the bronze-armored guards that he had seen before in cities that he had passed through earlier, and an inexplicable chill filled his heart.

ʼʼHas the city really fallen?ʼʼ

Liu Mei seemed to have also understood what had happened to the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼ, and quickly fell silent.

Indeed, after seeing the blood that had dyed the soil red, the countless corpses with the insignia of a ʼBlue Forestʼ in their armor as well as the bronze-armored people who had occupied the city walls, a single word appeared in her mind

ʼʼWar!ʼʼ

Of course, if Liu Mei could understand this, how could Shun Long not see what was going on.

Deep in his heart however, he refused to accept this.

After all, Shun Fang was already a Heaven grade expert, and in the kingdoms that were in direct proximity to the ʼSky Fortune Kingdomʼ, there werenʼt any Heaven grade experts aside from him.

Even if a new one had appeared, there is no way for them to destroy the ʼBlue Forest cityʼ like this.

Besides, Shun Long had been gone for less than a year, so how could a war really erupt in such a small amount of time?

What was the trigger behind it?

As these questions flashed through Shun Longʼs mind, he got off the ʼSilver-winged panther kingʼ and shot towards the ʼBlue Forest cityʼ, with Liu Mei and the black panther following behind him.
