Monarch Of Time

Chapter 554 - 554 Leaving Yanzhu city

The freed slaves around him, all looked at Shun Long incredulously when they heard his last sentence, but Shun Long didnʼt seem to be willing to explain anything else, as he turned his attention towards the small shop in front of him.

Now that every single slave had been freed, there was no reason for Dai Limʼs and Dai Haoʼs shop to remain standing.

Holding his black, star-rank sword in his hand, Shun Long raised it above his head and infused his qi inside it, before he slashed it forward, unleashing a powerful black-colored slash.

Although the protective formations around the shop automatically activated themselves as soon as the ʼThundergodʼs slashʼ landed on the shopʼs outer walls, they only managed to last for a single second before they were destroyed.

The entire shop was instantly razed to the ground, causing all of the passersby to stare at Shun Long with gazes full of shock and fear. This was even more so once they noticed that he was just an early rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Even some of the middle stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the crowd couldnʼt help but shiver after feeling the power of that sword slash which destroyed Dai Limʼs and Dai Haoʼs shop, and were uncertain if they would be able to block it if they were the ones to face it instead.

ʼʼWho is this guy? Isnʼt that Dai Limʼs shop that he attacked? Someone really dared to destroy his shop?ʼʼ

ʼʼThe slave trader Dai Lim? How is this possible? I heard that he has already obtained the protection of the Yan family, which was why he hadnʼt been arrested even when he and his brother abducted a woman in broad daylight a couple of weeks ago!ʼʼ

ʼʼIs this guy crazy? Not only does he dare to mess with those 2 inhuman slave traders, but he actually attacked a shop protected by the Yan family?ʼʼ

ʼʼNo! Look at his robes! Arenʼt those the robes of an outer disciple of the Holy sect?ʼʼ

A few people from the crowd seemed to have recognized Shun Longʼs robes, making the discussions around them instantly turn even more fervent.

Shun Long however simply ignored the people around him and the curious gazes that they were shooting towards him, as he raised his hand and slashed the air in front of him, opening a 2m(6.6ft) long space tear.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd, he then stepped inside the space tear before he disappeared.

As he appeared close to the city gates a moment later, Shun Long walked towards them with an unhurried pace. Since he had already killed Dai Hao and Dai Lim and completely destroyed their shop, there was no reason for him to stay in Yanzhu city any longer. He was planning to return back to the Holy city and train himself in the Dao Tower until he met Liu Mei and the rest back in the Holy sect.

As for killing Yan Wen during this mission, Shun Long was completely unfazed by it even after hearing that he was actually the son of an Elder of the Yan family.

There was no way that Shun Long would simply turn around and leave from the city just because Yan Wen had ordered him to ʼscramʼ out of the shop. Although he didnʼt know what kind of influence the Yan family had inside the Holy sect, he honestly didnʼt care about it either.

Shun Long hadnʼt joined the Holy sect simply so he could lay low and slowly grow bidding his time.

He knew that his own faction alone, was going to offend many people inside the sect, especially when they joined the faction wars and started to climb in the faction rankings. Thus, from the beginning, he wasnʼt planning to stay low-key inside the sect.

After all, every single one of his faction members aside from himself, had actually been accepted as personal disciples by inner court Elders!

In front of that, what the hell was the son of a single Elder from the Yan family?

Although Shun Long didnʼt know how strong this family really was, he knew that it was definitely nothing compared to the top families who lived inside the Holy city.

...

At the same time that Shun Long was walking past the city gates, inside a luxurious mansion at the heart of the city, a white-haired old man dressed in green robes was sitting in front of a marble table, with a purple-robed middle-aged man sitting opposite to him.

The marble table only had 2 cups of wine and a single wine flask on top of it.

The white-haired old man had a bright smile on his face as he grabbed the flask of wine from the table and filled both the cups to the brim, before he looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite to him and said

ʼʼBrother Yan, havenʼt you always wanted to drink my ʼpurple nectar wineʼ? Hehe, then let this elder brother share it with you today since I happen to be in a good mood.ʼʼ

The middle-aged man whom the white-haired old man called as ʼbrother Yanʼ snorted in response when he heard the old manʼs words, and looking at him with an envious look on his face he then said

ʼʼSenior Zhu, didnʼt you just call me here today to brag? Would you have shared your ʼpurple nectar wineʼ with me today if it wasnʼt for your grandson entering the top 600 places in the Martial Roll of Honor inside the Holy sect?ʼʼ

ʼʼHahaha! Indeed, this old man is truly blessed to have such a grandson! However, there is no need to worry. Once your son enters the Holy sect, I will personally tell Guanyu to take care of him.ʼʼ
