Monarch Of Time

Chapter 574 - 574 Warm attitude?

The cultivators around them were startled when they felt the auras from the group of disciples from the Holy sect that were filled with killing intent, before they hurriedly opened up the distance between them, unwilling to be caught in the middle of a fight.

Shun Long narrowed his eyes as he looked at the 3 young men in front of him who were obviously emitting hostile auras filled with killing intent, and yet, he wasnʼt in a hurry to make a move, as he simply observed the rest of their group for a few moments.

The spiky-haired young man as well as the chubby-faced silver-haired young man who was standing next to him at the very front of the group, along with the blue-haired young man who was standing a step behind those 2 and was actually the only one who wasnʼt wearing the yellow robes of an outer disciple of the sect were all completely ignored by Shun Long, as he focused his gaze towards the rest of their group.

Even a month ago when he was just at the peak of rank 1 of the Nascent Soul, Shun Long had never been wary of the prince of the Shengtian dynasty, Sheng Huang, or Zhong Fang, the ʼyoung lordʼ of the ʼMercenariesʼ Associationʼ.

Even when Sheng Huang had threatened him to hand over his black, star-rank sword, right in front of the inner courtʼs entrance, Shun Long had never viewed him as anything else but an idiot. Of course, anyone who l.u.s.ted over his treasures was bound to not have a good ending.

As for the blue-haired young lord of the ʼGolden Exchange firmʼ of the Night star continent, Hu Liu who was standing behind those 2, although Shun Long was surprised to see him here since he still remembered that Hu Liu was actually the first one to fail the Holy sectʼs fourth test, after a moment of hesitation, a look of realization appeared in his eyes as he realized that Hu Liu had probably chosen to become a ʼfollowerʼ of either Sheng Huang or Zhong Fang, and follow them inside the Holy sect.

For a genius who was previously ranked 4th in the ʼNight star continentʼsʼ rankings, to lower his head and become someone elseʼs follower, it was obvious how much allure the Holy sect held towards him.

ʼʼEh? A fellow disciple?ʼʼ

A young manʼs surprised voice broke the silence in front of the ʼGiant Crane forestʼsʼ entrance, as he looked at the 2 young men by his side who were emitting an intense aura filled with hostility towards the newcomer, before he spotted the yellow robes that Shun Long was wearing.

The young man wasnʼt surprised that another outer disciple from the Holy sect would appear in this place, since the ʼGiant Crane forestʼ was a place that many disciples traveled to, either to hunt magic beasts or look for rare treasures or other medicinal herbs.

Instead, he was surprised by Sheng Huangʼs and Zhong Fangʼs sudden change in their attitudes. As for Hu Liu, the yellow-robed young man didnʼt seem to care about him, as he looked at Sheng Huang and asked curiously

ʼʼJunior brother Sheng, do you know him?ʼʼ

At the same time that the young man spoke, Shun Long turned his attention towards him as well, and looked at him seriously for a few moments.

Unlike Sheng Huang and Zhong Fang who had only recently advanced to the middle of rank 4 in the Nascent Soul, or Hu Liu who was still at the early rank 4, Shun Long could sense that the yellow-robed young man who had spoken just now was on an entirely different level, as he had clearly reached the middle of rank 6 in the Nascent Soul, forcing even Shun Long to look at him seriously.

After all, an outer disciple of the Holy sect who had reached the middle of rank 6 in the Nascent Soul, was definitely a genius who could easily fight against normal cultivators at the peak of rank 6 in the Nascent Soul as well.

Aside from this young man, Shun Long also noticed a young woman standing next to him, who was actually at the early rank 6, as well as a robust young man who seemed to be almost as big as Zhong Fang himself, and his cultivation was at the peak of rank 5 in the Nascent Soul.

From the 6 people in their group, Sheng Huang and Zhong Fang, as well as Hu Liu, were definitely the 3 weakest.

Turning his eyes towards the young man who had just spoken Sheng Huang nodded his head, but he didnʼt retract the hostile look from his eyes as he answered

ʼʼYes senior brother. His name is Shun Long! He is the person who has stolen something thatʼs mine and refused to give it back!ʼʼ

The young manʼs eyes lit up when he heard the name Shun Long, as he inspected the yellow-robed young man in front of him seriously for a few moments. As for Sheng Huangʼs claim that Shun Long had stolen something from him, the young man didnʼt seem to have even heard it.

At the same time, the young woman that was standing next to the young man looked at Shun Long with a renewed look of interest in her eyes before she said

ʼʼShun Long? Are you the person who rejected Qian Taoʼs invitation only to form your own faction in the sect? Hehe, how cute.

Eh? Why canʼt I sense your cultivation?ʼʼ

The young woman was even more surprised when she realized that she couldnʼt sense any qi at all coming from Shun Longʼs body. Naturally, since he had completely retracted his aura, forget about an early rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivator like her, even peak Dao Kings wouldnʼt be able to sense the slightest bit of qi fluctuations coming from Shun Longʼs body right now.

At the same time, Sheng Huang and Zhong Fang looked at Shun Long with gazes that didnʼt conceal their killing intent, but they knew that they couldnʼt do anything to him right now.

Since they had come to the ʼGiant Crane forestʼ for a mission, their senior brother had already activated the ʼMemory recording formationʼ on his sect identifying token, and they knew that they couldnʼt simply attack a fellow disciple of the Holy sect in broad daylight.

Besides, even if they managed to persuade the yellow-robed young man, there were too many cultivators around them who would see that scene.

However, the yellow-robed young man didnʼt seem to have even noticed Sheng Huangʼs and Zhong Fangʼs hostile gazes towards Shun Long as he kept inspecting him with a serious look in his eyes. A moment later, the young man suddenly smiled as he took a step forward forward and spoke in a warm tone, his next words stunning both Sheng Huang and Zhong Fang who turned to look at the yellow-robed young man with gazes filled with disbelief

ʼʼJunior brother Shun Long huh? I heard that you and a kid named Jiang Chen both have immortal-grade bloodlines. How enviable. I suggest that you be careful inside the ʼGiant Crane forestʼ, since there are many rank 5 and even rank 6 magic beasts lurking in this place.ʼʼ
