Chapter 745 - 745 Senior Feng Making A Move
Senior Feng's angry shout had naturally surprised the experts around Shun Long, who all seemed to have realized what was going on.
Although Shun Long's spatial ring did indeed contain some valuable treasures that could attract the attention of most Dao Emperor realm experts, including a peak 1-star weapon as well as 200.000 high-grade spirit stones, none of those were enough to pique the interest of a Sovereign realm expert like senior Feng.
''It really isn't there?'' The Grand Elder stared at the black spatial ring in senior Feng's hands with a look of surprise on his face.
Nodding his head, senior Feng tossed the spatial ring to the Grand Elder with a cold look, while his eyes stared murderously at Shun Long who was standing in front of him.
The Grand Elder sent his soul sense inside it, only to see that the golden skeleton indeed wasn't there.
''Kid, where is the golden skeleton?'' Seeing that Shun Long didn't respond the first time, senior Feng asked him once again.
It didn't matter if he denied it or not, senior Feng was certain that the golden skeleton was in Shun Long's hands.
After all, Shun Long was the only one present inside the King's Palace during his Heavenly Tribulation, otherwise, the heavens would have definitely struck anyone who dared to step foot inside the core region of the palace during that time.
Nobody, not even those experts who had surpassed the Sovereign realm would dare to casually go against the will of the Heavens and forcefully step foot inside the King's Palace during someone's Heavenly Tribulation!
Shaking his head, Shun Long looked at the red-haired Sovereign realm expert in front of him and answered seriously
''I told you that I don't have the golden skeleton and yet you didn't believe me. Senior, I already gave you my spatial ring, what else do you want?''
''Cut the crap! Who else could have obtained the skeleton during your Heavenly Tribulation other than you?''
The Northern Sovereign and the surrounding experts all stayed silent when they heard this.
Indeed, according to logic, Shun Long should be the one to have obtained the golden skeleton, but since there was no sign of it in his spatial ring, things didn't make any sense.
The Northern Sovereign's soul sense had covered the entirety of the King's Palace by now, searching every nook and cranny within the King's palace.
Even if Shun Long wanted to hide the skeleton inside another spatial ring and hid it somewhere else within the core region of the palace, it still wouldn't be able to escape from the Northern Sovereign's soul sense.
''Could it be?'' A terrifying thought flashed inside the Northern Sovereign's mind, as she suddenly remembered the 9 bolts of purple lightning that had appeared in the sky during Shun Long's Heavenly Tribulation.
At the same time, senior Feng looked at Shun Long and said in a cold voice
''Fine then! Since you refuse to answer honestly, I will obtain the answer from you myself!''
Senior Feng's body instantly disappeared from the spot he was standing on, bypassing the Grand Elder and arriving right in front of Shun Long with his right hand stretched forward.
The Grand Elder seemed to have realized what was going on, but he was simply too slow to react in time, causing his face to turn completely pale when he saw the scene in front of him.
It was obvious that senior Feng was going to use his own soul sense and scan Shun Long's soul and read his memories.
However, searching another cultivator's soul was extremely dangerous, and it would often leave behind negative side effects that could harm a cultivator. In some cases, cultivators even ended up crippled after the process was finished.
''Senior, please stop!''
The Grand Elder shouted in a desperate voice, but senior Feng didn't seem to care about his shout in the slightest, as his hand kept inching closer and closer towards Shun Long's head.
It didn't matter where the golden skeleton was, or even if it was in Shun Long's possession in the first place, senior Feng was confident that he would get his answer after soul-searching Shun Long.
Inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time', Little Black's bright blue eyes flashed with a look of unrestrained killing intent as he stared at the red-haired Sovereign realm expert in front of Shun Long.
Although Little Black knew that he wasn't strong enough to fight against a peak rank 3 Sovereign realm expert right now, and that revealing himself would most likely end with him dead, there was no way that he would simply stay and watch as Shun Long's soul was forcefully being searched by the red-haired middle-aged man.
At that moment, Shun Long felt a dangerous feeling permeating his heart, as his spiritual sea started to surge wildly.
He hadn't thought that he would be forced to use this move right after breaking through to the Dao King realm, but it seemed that senior Feng was hell-bent on searching his soul to obtain the answers he wanted.
At that moment however, just as the red-robed middle-aged man's hand was about to touch Shun Long's head, a jade-like hand seemed to have appeared out of thin air as it forcefully grabbed senior Feng's wrist, locking his hand into place.
It didn't matter how much strength senior Feng put in his attack, his hand wouldn't move an inch.
Senior Feng's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the owner of this jade-like hand, before he asked in a cold voice
''Northern Sovereign, what is the meaning of this?''
The owner of this hand was no one else but the silver-robed Northern Sovereign, the only person present who could take care of senior Feng's attack so easily.
The Northern Sovereign shook her head as she looked at senior Feng, before she answered calmly
''Feng Qin, you should stay your hand.''
