Monarch of Time

''Not only is your daughter dead, but all of you will follow her as well. The moment that your assassination attempt failed, your Lin family was doomed to disappear.''

Lin Shang's eyes suddenly widened and a horrifying thought flashed through his mind as he asked in a voice filled with disbelief

''Y-You! You are Shun Long?''

Shun Long smirked as he heard this and looking at the horrified Lin family patriarch he said

''You finally realized it.

But then again, how many people would be 'worthy' for you, the patriarch of the Lin family, to personally go to the Xiao marquess' estate and plan an assassination attempt?''

Lin Shang's face suddenly turned ashen as he heard this, but he still gritted his teeth and said

''Shun Long! You have no proof for what you are saying. This is slander against my Lin family! The 'floating cloud sect' won't let you go if you dare to do anything to us!''

Shun Long stared at him mockingly as he asked 

''The 'floating cloud sect'? Do you think that the sect cares about your Lin family? Let alone the fact that countless outer disciples have already heard Xiao Juyan admitting that you colluded with his father, the Xiao marquess, and planned to assassinate me... even if that wasn't true, do you think that the sect would pit itself against its own disciples, for a random family that the disciple had enmity with?''

Lin Shang's face had turned completely white by now, as his heart was gripped by despair watching Shun Long riding on the black dragon in the sky.

The dragon's aura was so powerful, that even Lin Shang who was already a peak rank 6 earth grade expert, couldn't muster the slightest bit of courage in front of him.

Lin Shang then started laughing maniacally as he said

''Hahaha! Even if you kill my entire Lin family, my Wu'er will definitely take revenge for me. Young master Shitou will also not let things go like that!

No matter what, there is no way for you to harm my daughter inside the 'floating cloud sect', especially when she is under the protection of young master Shitou. Unless you turn to leave right now, your family will also face the same fate in the future.''

Lin Shang seemed to have found absolute confidence in his words as he fearlessly looked at Shun Long.

Shun Long's eyes chilled as he heard this, and shaking his head he said

''Don't worry, I won't completely destroy your family, but you would probably wish that I had. As for taking revenge? You can personally ask Xiao Shitou and your daughter later.''

As Shun Long finished his words, he jumped down from little Black's back, as he landed in the midst of the Lin family experts. 

The earth grade experts of the Lin family, couldn't believe their luck as Lin Shang shouted 

''Quickly, capture this brat! Then we will definitely control the dragon as well!''

The Elders of the Lin family then, all moved to attack Shun Long at the same time.

Seeing that he was 'surrounded' by all fronts, Shun Long smirked as he activated the 'Monarch's Domain'. 

The 'Monarch's Domain' was suited perfectly for group battles like this after all.

The 8 Elders of the Lin family, including their peak rank 6 patriarch were completely frozen in time the moment the indistinct figure of an hourglass swept over their bodies. 

Turning his head to look at little Black in the sky, Shun Long then said

''If there are any other earth grade experts hiding inside the mansion, kill them all.''

Little Black nodded his head as his soul sense covered the Lin mansion, making sure that there was no one else hiding inside.

Shun Long's eyes didn't show the slightest iota of pity looking at the Lin family Elders around him, as his hands reaped their lives one by one. 

Less than 10 breaths of time had passed since 'the fight' begun, and aside from their patriarch that still seemed to be frozen, the Lin family members saw their Elders' heads exploding one by one.

Both the Lin family members, as well as the servants were all terrified, as they hurriedly abandoned the mansion and ran towards the Lin city.

Very quickly, aside from Shun Long, little Black, and the still frozen Lin Shang, the Lin mansion was now completely devoid of life.

Without any suspense, Shun Long's punch completely crushed Lin Shang's skull, as blood and brain matter splattered on the ground. 

The Lin family patriarch had died like that.

Without taking a look at Lin Shang's corpse, Shun Long climbed on little Black's back, and pointing at the Lin mansion he said

''Little Black, burn it down''

Little Black then opened his mouth, as he spat a ball of black flames towards the mansion.

The citizens inside the city, all saw the black dragon in the sky who spat out a black fireball towards the Lin mansion, completely engulfing it in black flames.

Seeing the luxurious Lin mansion getting destroyed, instead of being afraid, the people of the Lin city all rejoiced.

''Hahaha! I am certain that those tyrants had finally offended someone that they couldn't afford to!''

''This is divine retribution! God must have finally sent someone to eradicate them!''

It seemed like the Lin family wasn't very well-liked inside their own city. 

Now, having lost all of their earth grade Elders, as well as their own patriarch, the lives of the rest of the Lin family members will definitely be much harder from today.

Looking at the destroyed Lin family mansion in front of him, Shun Long patted little Black's back as he said

''Let's go to the imperial city.''

The black dragon then flapped his wings as he instantly disappeared from the Lin city.

Less than 10 minutes had passed since Shun Long and little Black had left the Lin city, when the guards of the imperial city sounded the alarm, as they saw a black dragon flying at breakneck speed towards the southwest part of the city.
