Chapter 748 - 748 Leaving The King"s Palace

""Hahaha! This little girl is so interesting!"" A burst of loud laughter resounded within the foggy s.p.a.ce in the "Stone of Time", as Little Black stared at the solemn Northern Sovereign with an amused look inside his bright blue eyes.

Even though the Northern Sovereign"s conclusion was extremely logical, in the black dragon"s eyes it was nothing but a joke.

After all, the golden skeleton"s figure was still lying on the ground just a few meters away from Little Black, where Little Silver was staring at it with a look of curiosity and fear in his deep yellow eyes.

Unlike Little Black, the black panther felt an innate, deep sense of fear every time it turned to look at this golden skeleton. It was as if its instincts were screaming for it to get as far away as possible.

Of course, this was only natural.

The golden skeleton, even though it didn"t have any signs of life inside it, was still the corpse of a peak expert who had dominated the central region countless years ago. How could it be anything normal? Additionally, the golden skeleton had been struck by the bolts of purple lightning for countless years as it remained in the core region of the King"s Palace, making its aura even deadlier.

Naturally, a magic beast like Little Silver that had just reached the peak of rank 6 would feel an innate sense of fear towards it.

At the same time, a look of realization appeared on the Grand Elder"s face when he heard the Northern Sovereign"s words, while Shun Long chose to remain silent while a slightly puzzled look had also appeared on his face.

Although he hadn"t seen them by himself, Shun Long had already heard from Little Black about the 9 bolts of purple lightning that appeared in the sky during his Heavenly Tribulation.

But of course, he wasn"t going to let the Northern Sovereign know and had already decided to feign ignorance.

The Northern Sovereign didn"t find anything abnormal with Shun Long"s reaction, and after a brief moment of silence, she looked at him and asked smilingly

""Shun Long, since you have already finished your breakthrough, do you want to come to my Northern Sovereign"s city?""

The Northern Sovereign"s voice was warm and gentle like a spring breeze, instantly making anyone who heard it feel at ease.

Shun Long looked at the Northern Sovereign with a surprised look, as he hadn"t expected such a sudden invitation.

Since he had already finished his breakthrough and there was almost half a year left until the estimated time when the City of Immortals would open, Shun Long was actually planning to use this time to increase his cultivation, as well as practice the skills of a formation master.

However, from the Northern Sovereign"s warm tone, Shun Long understood that she was trying to strengthen her relationship with him.

Since she had just stood up for him and helped him with Feng Qin, there was no reason for him to refuse either.

After thinking for a moment, Shun Long nodded his head and answered

""Since senior is inviting this junior, I will naturally not decline. I simply hope that senior doesn"t mind if I bring my friends along as well.""

The Northern Sovereign"s face bloomed like a flower, as she nodded her head and said magnanimously

""Of course. Even if you want to bring the entire group of the Holy sect with you, I will still not mind.""

The Northern Sovereign then waved her hand, summoning a gust of wind that surrounded Shun Long"s and the Grand Elder"s bodies, before she flew back towards the King"s Palace.

With the Northern Sovereign"s help, Shun Long located Liu Mei and the others extremely easily and saw that they were all making their way towards the core region of the King"s Palace.

The moment the Northern Sovereign appeared in front of them, Liu Mei and the others were all stunned momentarily as they instantly recognized the beautiful silver-robed woman in front of them, before their eyes all fell on Shun Long soon after.

""Long-ge!""

""Brother Long!""

Both Liu Mei and Xingyi called out with looks of relief on their faces as they flew towards Shun Long, while Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian smiled before they moved towards him as well.

After witnessing Shun Long"s Heavenly Tribulation, their group of 4 had all been worried restlessly about the results.

After all, the destructive force behind that crimson bolt of Heavenly Tribulation had been enough to stun even some powerful peak rank 9 Dao Kings who had yet to breakthrough to the Dao Emperor realm!

Even though Shun Long was a monster himself and was unmatched by other Nascent Soul cultivators, it didn"t mean that he would be able to survive from that Heavenly Tribulation.

In face, even Liu Mei"s, Xingyi"s, Jiang Chen"s, and Bai Longtian"s Heavenly Tribulations all combined couldn"t match up to Shun Long"s in terms of how dangerous they were.

The Northern Sovereign smiled at the show of affection in front of her, as she saw Shun Long interacting with the group of 4 in front of him.

Liu Mei and Xingyi both walked up and hugged him tightly, while Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian had clear smiles of relief on their faces.

""Haha, brother Shun, I knew that you would make it. Even the Heavenly Tribulation wasn"t enough to harm you."" Bai Longtian"s voice was full of excitement as he joyfully patted Shun Long"s shoulder.

Jiang Chen didn"t say anything and simply nodded his head, but the sight of his lips curving upwards was enough to betray his good mood.

""Is this everyone? If you are ready, then let"s go!"" A moment later, the Northern Sovereign asked as she looked at Shun Long and the others. There was no reason for them to waste any more time in the King"s Palace.

Besides, the Northern Sovereign still had to make a report to the Tianxuan dynasty.

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Shun Long didn"t keep the Northern Sovereign waiting any longer.
