Monarch Of Time

Chapter 747 - 747 The Northern Sovereign's Conclusion

''Senior, isn't this dangerous? I heard that 'old freak Gao' is actually a peak expert who is just a step away from ascending and becoming a true immortal. Won't you be in danger if he really comes after you?'' The Grand Elder voiced out his concern as he stared at the beautiful silver-robed woman in front of him worriedly, while Shun Long was still processing the information he had just received from the Northern Sovereign.

No matter what, it was still unnatural that the Northern Sovereign would give up her search for the golden skeleton so easily.

Even though she knew that Shun Long didn't have the skeleton in his possession, she should have known that if she let Feng Qin search his soul, it was very likely that they would be able to obtain some clues at the very least.

After all, the golden skeleton couldn't have possibly vanished into thin air!

Shaking her head, the Northern Sovereign sneered as she looked at the Grand Elder, before she answered in a confident manner

''Kang Wen, do you think that 'old freak Gao' is as inexperienced as you are? Even if I really had the golden skeleton in my possession, he still wouldn't dare to make trouble for me unless he is actually willing to fight with the Tianhuan dynasty.

After all, every single one of the 4 peak Sovereigns of the provincial cities are subordinates of the lord of the Tianhuan dynasty.

That old freak clearly knows the strength of the Tianhuan dynasty's old ancestor, so unless it's absolutely necessary, he wouldn't dare to go all-out and attack my Northern Sovereign's city or try to create any trouble for me.

After all, 'old freak Gao' knows that if I really had the golden skeleton, even I wouldn't dare to keep it for myself and that I would have to hand it over to the dynasty, or I would be chased down by all of those old monsters in the first place.''

The Northern Sovereign had a calm look on her face, looking like she wasn't the slightest bit worried even when she was dealing with a peak expert who was just half a step away from becoming a true immortal like 'old freak Gao'.

''As for soul searching Shun Long... Feng Qin will soon understand that it was a mistake to even mention this in the first place.''

The Grand Elder was surprised when he heard this, but the Northern Sovereign simply smiled before she continued a moment later

''That's because Feng Qin didn't use his brain at all.

Even an expert like 'old freak Gao' would value Shun Long greatly after such a Heavenly Tribulation. After all, the talent that Shun Long has displayed just now is enough to alert even an old monster like him.

In reality, I am sure that even if I don't say anything about it, even the lord of the Tianxuan dynasty will find out everything regarding today's matters very soon. With Feng Qin trying to forcefully search Shun Long's soul, it was no different than completely burning the bridge between Shun Long himself and 'old freak Gao's' side, which will undoubtedly make 'old freak Gao' very angry.

After all, why would an expert like 'old freak Gao' would want to offend someone with Shun Long's talent? I suspect that it's more likely that he would try to rope him in instead, and perhaps even take him on as a personal disciple!''

The Grand Elder was startled momentarily before a cold shiver coursed through his body.

Naturally, the Grand Elder knew that the Holy sect would obtain many benefits if one of their disciples really entered the tutelage of an expert like 'old freak Gao'.

However, would any of the benefits they obtained be enough to make up for the losses?

Naturally, the Grand Elder knew the answer, which was why he was so unwilling to let Shun Long be taken away by another power.

Most of the talented disciples in the Holy sect belonged to the powerful families and clans within the Holy sect's territory in the first place.

Naturally, those disciples had the interest of their clans first and not the Holy sect's.

However, Shun Long didn't belong to any of those families or clans.

This was part of why the Grand Elder valued him so much.

A talented disciple who could rival or even surpass Yang Hui in terms of talent had appeared, and he wasn't a member of those powerful families! How could the Grand Elder not value him greatly?

However, if Shun Long was taken away by someone like 'old freak Gao' and stayed with him for a few thousand years, would the 2 years that Shun Long has spent inside the Holy sect even amount to anything in the future?

Would Shun Long even care about the Holy sect by then?

Perhaps he would care slightly about it but he wouldn't necessarily extend a hand to help if something serious happened.

''Senior... then what about the golden skeleton?'' After a moment of silence the Grand Elder asked in a curious tone.

The look inside the Northern Sovereign's eyes instantly turned serious, as she looked at the Grand Elder and answered solemnly

''The golden skeleton has most likely been snatched by someone else already. I also suspect that this person is an expert who is at least on par with 'old freak Gao' and the old ancestor of the Tianhuan dynasty, and is probably on the cusp of becoming a true immortal!

I suspect that he sneaked inside the core region of the King's Palace just as the Heavenly Tribulation was about to end and snatched the golden skeleton away before he disappeared. He was probably what caused those 9 bolts of purple lightning to appear in the sky as well!

After all, purple lightning is the strongest lightning that can appear during the Heavenly Tribulation, and no matter how freakish Shun Long's talent is, it's impossible for him to summon 9 bolts of purple lightning during his breakthrough to the Dao King realm. However, if an extremely high-level expert sneaked inside the King's Palace during that time, then it's extremely likely that he would summon the wrath of the Heavens!

I believe that after Feng Qin mentions today's matter to 'old freak Gao', that old monster will come to the same conclusion as well.

... A person who can sneak into the core region of the King's Palace during that Heavenly Tribulation and can even snatch the golden skeleton under everyone's noses.... such a person is definitely a peak expert!''
