Monarch Of Time

Chapter 746 - 746 The Northern Sovereignʼs Answer

Seeing the stunned expression on senior Fengʼs face, the Northern Sovereign took a deep breath before she continued

ʼʼI am sure that you have already searched Shun Longʼs body with your soul sense, as well as the rest of the Kingʼs Palace by now. There is no spatial ring hidden on anywhere that could hold the golden skeleton... You should just give up.ʼʼ

Feng Qin sneered mockingly when he heard the Northern Sovereignʼs words, before he answered in a confident manner

ʼʼGive up? Why would I do that? Even if that kid really doesnʼt have the golden skeleton, he is still the only clue we have. Searching his soul is the only thing thatʼs left to do. Lu Qigang, if you donʼt want to do this you can simply move aside! I donʼt need your help to do this!ʼʼ

The Northern Sovereignʼs eyes narrowed when she heard Feng Qinʼs way of addressing her.

The only people who were qualified to call the Northern Sovereign by her own name were only experts at the same level as her, or those whose status were even higher than her own.

As for Feng Qin, whether it was in terms of personal power or status, he was far inferior to the Northern Sovereign.

At that moment, the Northern Sovereignʼs silky black hair started to flow wildly in the air as her aura suddenly burst out from her body, completely stunning Feng Qin, young lady Niu, as well as the surrounding experts who were watching this scene.

The Northern Sovereign stared at Feng Qin with her cold brown eyes as her hand was still holding his wrist tightly, making Feng Qinʼs face grimmace from the pain, before she spoke in a commanding tone

ʼʼSince you donʼt seem to understand my words, then let me explain this in another way. Since Shun Long isnʼt the one who has the golden skeleton, he is now under my protection and you are not allowed to touch him.ʼʼ

The Northern Sovereign then turned her gaze towards young lady Niu before she continued coldly

ʼʼI suggest you go back and report everything that happened today to your master.ʼʼ

The Northern Sovereignʼs overbearing tone had startled both young lady Niu and Feng Qin who stared at the Northern Sovereign with eyes filled with disbelief.

None of them understood why she would really choose to protect Shun Long instead of soul-searching him to obtain more information about the golden skeleton, but everyone present today understood, that if the Northern Sovereign was really hell-bent on protecting someone, nobody present could possibly harm that person.

Feng Qin stared at the Northern Sovereign silently for a few moments, before he nodded his head and turned to look at young lady Niu next to him and said

ʼʼLetʼs go.ʼʼ

Since young lady Niu had already finished her breakthrough and Feng Qin couldnʼt search Shun Longʼs soul, there was nothing else left for him to do within the Kingʼs Palace.

It was better for him and young lady Niu to go back and report everything to her master!

Young lady Niu stared at Shun Long silently for a few moments before she nodded her head in response, as hers and Feng Qinʼs bodies turned into 2 blurs that disappeared from the core region of the Kingʼs Palace.

With the golden skeleton already gone, the black thunderclouds around the Kingʼs Palace had also started to disappear, as they slowly faded into nothingness, allowing Feng Qin to effortlessly fly out of the core region of the palace.

Shun Long was actually surprised that the Northern Sovereign would go against young lady Niu and the red-robed Sovereign realm expert just to save him.

He had already prepared himself for the worst case scenario, but it seemed that the Northern Sovereign had something else in mind.

Indeed, after Feng Qin and young lady Niu left, the Northern Sovereign turned her gaze towards Shun Long and said with a smile on her face

ʼʼCome with me!ʼʼ

Shun Long didnʼt have any chance to resist as the Northern Sovereign waved her hand, causing a gust of wind to envelop Shun Longʼs body and carry him towards her.

Without any hesitation, the Northern Sovereign shot out of the core region of the palace with Shun Long and the Grand Elder following right behind her, leaving behind a stunned look of experts.

A few moments later, the Northern Sovereign slowed down after crossing a distance of more than 1000 miles, before she finally stopped, allowing Shun Long and the Grand Elder to regain their freedom to move.

The Grand Elder then looked at the Northern Sovereign before he asked curiously

ʼʼSenior, what is going on?ʼʼ

The Northern Sovereign shook her head as she looked at the Grand Elder, before she turned her attention towards Shun Long and asked a question of her own

ʼʼKid, do you know why I saved you?ʼʼ

Shun Long was surprised by the Northern Sovereignʼs sudden question. Indeed, he had no idea why she had chosen to help him.

Shaking her head, the Northern Sovereign then answered

ʼʼActually, after checking your spatial ring, Feng Qin already knew that you didnʼt have the golden skeleton. After all, how could a newly advanced Dao King hide anything from a Sovereign realm expert like him? Even if you had stored the golden skeleton inside a spatial ring and had chosen to hide it somewhere else inside the Kingʼs Palace, mine and Feng Qinʼs soul sense would have discovered it long ago.

The reason why he was still insistent on searching your soul was actually just an excuse. Since you donʼt have the golden skeleton in your possession, in Feng Qinʼs eyes, there is only one other person who can have it, and that person is naturally me. After all, I was the first person to reach the core region of the Kingʼs Palace after your Heavenly Tribulation ended.

After searching your soul and verifying that you didnʼt have anything to do with the golden skeleton, Feng Qin would then try to blame me.. Hehe, by then, itʼs very likely that ʼold freak Gaoʼ would learn about this and would try to hunt me down.ʼʼ
