Monarch Of Time

602 Chapter 602 The Tang dynasty“s Dao Emperor

The entire Tang city started to tremble after the furious voice resounded in the air, causing every single person in the city, regardless of whether they were qi condensation cultivators or powerful Dao Kings, to feel a terrifying pressure looming above their heads, making them struggle to even breathe.

A moment later, Shun Longʼs eyes widened as he saw the figure of an old man dressed in golden-robed appear in the sky above him.

The old man had a frosty look in his eyes as he stared at Shun Long and the others, who felt like a mountain was about to crush them at any moment.

ʼʼSo you are the little bastards who dared to kill my great-grandson inside my own palace? Before I kill you, I will give you the chance to explain your actions. If your answer doesnʼt satisfy me, it wonʼt be just you, but your families as well who will pay the price for your actions today!ʼʼ

The old man didnʼt mince his words, directly threatening Shun Longʼs and the restʼs families if their answer didnʼt satisfy him. It was obvious that he wanted to hear the reason why someone would dare to infiltrate his palace and kill his great-grandson.

Naturally, the old man wasnʼt dumb!

How could he, a powerful Dao Emperor and the person behind the Tang dynasty not understand that someone else had instructed Shun Longʼs group to do this?

Let alone that Shun Long and the rest couldnʼt possibly have a feud with his great-grandson, even if they did, no one should have the guts to infiltrate the royal palace and pull off an assassination attempt like this!

The fact that they had succeeded was even more terrifying.

After all, Shun Long, Liu Mei, Xie Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and the injured Bai Longtian werenʼt even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone Dao Kings!

Although he didnʼt know how they had managed to kill Tang Long when he was protected by Commander Peng and he even had a protective pendant around his neck, the old man knew for a fact that Tang Long was truly dead since his life tablet had suddenly broken.

As the true ruler of the Tang dynasty in the dark, the old man had a life tablet of all the previous kings of the Tang dynasty and everyone else who was related to him by blood.

The life tablet was directly connected to a personʼs soul, and since Tang Longʼs tablet was broken, it could only mean one thing;

That his soul was utterly destroyed!

ʼʼLittle Black, if I let you fight him, do you think you can win?ʼʼ

Shun Long sent a mental message to Little Black while his eyes were focused on the golden-robed Dao Emperor who was calmly floating in the sky above him.

He knew that Little Black had definitely broken through to the rank 7 after absorbing the dragonstone, but Shun Long didnʼt know how strong the current Little Black really was.

ʼʼMaster, donʼt worry! Although this old fart is a peak rank 4 Dao Emperor, in front of me he is not even worth a fart! To dare threaten to kill master in front of me, even destroying this entire Tang city isnʼt enough to make him repent!ʼʼ

Little Blackʼs words were filled with endless majesty and fury, while his cold azure eyes were locked on the old man in the sky above his head.

Although Little Black knew that Shun Long didnʼt want to expose his existence just yet since that would bring endless problems, there was no way that Little Black would simply stay still and allow anyone to kill Shun Long.

Shun Long nodded his head calmly, but he didnʼt let Little Black out from the foggy space in the ʼStone of Timeʼ just yet.

Instead, his eyes kept staring at the golden-robed old man in the sky, before he took a deep breath and said in a serious tone

ʼʼWe are members of the Holy sect from the central region.ʼʼ

As he finished speaking, Shun Long removed the black robes that he was wearing, revealing the yellow robes of an outer disciple of the Holy sect that were hidden below them.

With a cold look on his face, Shun Long then continued

ʼʼSenior should understand that your great-grandson had done more than enough to be wanted by the Holy sect. Abducting innocent women and defiling them whether they agreed or not is not something that the Holy sect would ignore.

Although I donʼt want to threaten you, you should understand what would happen to your Tang dynasty if you really dared to kill a disciple of the Holy sect.ʼʼ

Shun Longʼs tone was cold as his eyes kept staring at the old man in the sky.

As a Dao Emperor, Shun Long believed that the old man should understand what it would mean to kill 5 outer disciples of the Holy sect in a fit of fury.

This was why Shun Long hadnʼt revealed Little Blackʼs existence just yet, waiting to see if the old man would back off after learning of their background.

And yet, the old man started laughing mockingly, his laughter shaking the entire Tang city while his eyes looked at Shun Long and the rest coldly before he said

ʼʼThe Holy sect? Just because you are disciples of the Holy sect you think you can just waltz into my palace and kill my own great-grandson?

Brat, you are too naive if you think you can threaten me with the Holy sectʼs name! Even if I kill all of you, unless an inner court Elder of your Holy sect personally comes here, nobody would be able to even think of taking revenge for you! Even your outer court Elders would have to politely greet me if they saw me!ʼʼ

The old manʼs lips curved up into a dangerous smirk while his eyes stared at Shun Longʼs group as if he was looking at 5 corpses.

Taking out a long, golden sword from his spatial ring, the old man raised it above his head before he shouted in a cold tone

ʼʼNow die!ʼʼ

Slashing the sword downwards, the old man sent a powerful slash towards Shun Long and the rest, a slash that could make even a newly advanced Dao Emperor despair.

At that moment, just as Little Black was about to jump out from the foggy space in the ʼStone of Timeʼ and destroy the old manʼs slash, Little Black suddenly halted his movements as his bright blue eyes instantly narrowed.

Before the golden-robed old manʼs sword slash could even approach within 5 meters from Shun Longʼs group, another powerful slash came from behind Shun Long, meeting the old manʼs sword slash head-on!

Under Shun Longʼs disbelieving eyes, the old manʼs slash was instantly obliterated by the silver slash, but the silver slash that came from behind Shun Long didnʼt stop, as it continued in the distance ahead, landing on the Tang dynastyʼs palace the next moment.

BOOOOOM!!

The protective formations around the palace instantly lit up, and yet they couldnʼt even last for a moment before they were instantly destroyed by the silver slash that continued forwards, as a large part of the royal palace was annihilated in the blink of an eye.

ʼʼWHO IS IT?ʼʼ

The golden-robed old man asked in shock, as he turned his head to look at the city gates of Tang city, only to see a middle-aged man who was floating in the sky, his eyes staring at Shun Longʼs group with a gentle smile on his face.
