Monarch Of Time

Chapter 811 - 811 Conflict

Liu Mei shook her head without any hesitation as she stared at the Grand Elder, before she said seriously

ʼʼGrand Elder, Long-ge is still in seclusion and has yet to come out. I wonʼt let anyone disturb him until he comes out by himself.ʼʼ

Liu Meiʼs eyes flashed with a serious glint as she said the last part, even though the person she was facing was the Grand Elder of the Holy sect himself, an existence that stood at the peak of the Dao Emperor realm.

The Grand Elderʼs eyes widened momentarily when he heard Liu Meiʼs response before a troubled expression covered his face soon after.

Naturally, he didnʼt take offense by the last part of Liu Meiʼs sentence since he actually agreed with her in his heart.

Since Shun Long was still in seclusion, disturbing him right now may truly end up harming him if he was in a critical part of his cultivation.

Besides, the Grand Elder knew that, right now, they werenʼt in the Holy sect but in the Northern Sovereignʼs estate instead.

Even if the Grand Elder wanted to forcefully bring Shun Long out of his seclusion, he wouldnʼt dare to do it while they were guests in the Northern Sovereignʼs estate either.

After all, it was clear that the Northern Sovereign valued Shun Long quite highly and she had already expressed her desire to rope him in, so doing something like that would not only offend Shun Long but also the Northern Sovereign herself!

At that moment however, Xingyiʼs master, Elder Mao Jing shook her head and took a step forward as she faced Liu Mei and the others, before she asked in a questioning tone

ʼʼShun Long is still in seclusion? How is this possible? Donʼt tell me that he didnʼt notice this earthquake just now! Does he think that he can have all of us wait here for him until he ends his seclusion?ʼʼ

Mao Jing said angrily as her fierce gaze brushed past Jiang Chen, Bai Longtian, and Liu Mei, lingering on Xingyiʼs body for a bit longer, before she finally calmed herself down and continued

ʼʼDo you even know what the earthquake just now signified?

I donʼt mind telling you that it was actually the sign that the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ has now opened! Coincidentally, we just arrived in the Northern Sovereignʼs city a few days ago and we were planning on taking a look at the shops around the city, but since the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ has opened, we will leave right away! As a disciple of the Holy sect, Shun Long is also obligated to follow us now that he is also a Dao King!ʼʼ

At that moment, furious looks appeared on Liu Meiʼs, Jiang Chenʼs, and Bai Longtianʼs faces as they stared at Mao Jing, while even Xingyi didnʼt hide her displeasure as she looked at her master.

Sensing the tension in the air that was growing worse and worse with every passing moment, the white-robed old man next to Mao Jing, the head of the inner court Elders, Sun Wen shook his head and interjected calmly

ʼʼAlthough Mao Jingʼs words are harsh, there is also merit in them as well. The 5 of you are now Dao Kings and you should enter the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ along with the rest of the disciples from the sect. Shun Long being in seclusion at such a critical point is indeed problematic.ʼʼ

Sun Wen then turned his gaze towards the Grand Elder and continued

ʼʼGrand Elder, I know that you look at Shun Long quite favorably and I also have to admit that I didnʼt expect for his Heavenly Tribulation during his breakthrough to the Dao King realm to be so terrifying that it even managed to alert the Northern Sovereign, but we canʼt possibly wait until he exits from his seclusion before we leave for the City of Immortals.

After all, what will we do if his seclusion ends up lasting for a couple of years or even longer? The City of Immortals itself has only stayed open for 10 years in the past, and we donʼt know if it will be any different this time around!

I suggest that you choose someone else to lead the outer court disciples inside the City of Immortals instead of him. Since Yang Hui has decided to follow the young princess of the Bai clan, we can either choose Qiao Min, Liu Mei, or we can even have one of the inner court disciples be the leader instead.ʼʼ

The Grand Elder stayed silent as he was clearly put in a difficult position.

Even before the Martial Roll of Honor tournament back in the Holy sect had ended, the Grand Elder had already decided to have Shun Long enter the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ along with the rest of the outer court disciples, and have him lead everyone during their time inside.

Although that decision of his was bound to raise some complaints from some of the stronger outer court disciples of the sect, the Grand Elder didnʼt care about those disciples in the slightest.

However, the current situation was indeed problematic.

After all, it was one thing if Shun Long remained in seclusion for a few more days or even a few months, but if he didnʼt come out even after 10 years and ended up missing the opportunity to enter the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ, it would indeed be a disaster.

At the same time, the Grand Elder knew that Sun Wen and Mao Jing were also correct.

Even if he was selfish, the Grand Elder couldnʼt possibly keep all the outer court disciples of the Holy sect waiting until Shun Long exited his seclusion.

At that moment however, before the Grand Elder could make his decision, Liu Mei took a step forward and stared at Sun Wen and Mao Jing in front of her, before she said in a calm but determined voice

ʼʼLead the outer court disciples? I am not interested in that.. Until Long-ge comes out of his seclusion I wonʼt enter the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ either.ʼʼ
