Monarch of Time

Shun Long was certain that this city in front of him was none other than Murong city.

After taking another look at the enormous city in the distance, Shun Long turned his attention towards the massive mountain that was just a few miles away from it.

From the map that he had gotten from Quan Lin, Shun Long knew that the mountain outside Murong city was named Elderwood mountain, and that it had actually existed for an even longer time than Murong city itself.

''Master, that mountain must be the place where Huo Wuyi has hidden his treasures.'' Little Black said a moment later, as his bright azure eyes stared intently at the massive mountain in the distance.

Nodding his head, Shun Long patted Little Black's head and sent him back inside the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time' before he summoned Little Silver.

Since he was so close to Murong city, Shun Long knew that having Little Black out in the open was simply too dangerous. With 2 Sovereign realm experts hiding inside the city, the moment that Little Black got close to the city, the experts of the Murong family would immediately go crazy.

As for Little Silver, although mutated magic beasts were rare in the cultivation world, a peak rank 6 magic beast didn't have much worth in the eyes of Sovereign realm experts.

Spreading its bright silver wings, Little Silver carried Shun Long on its back as it flew towards the massive mountain at full speed.

Since Huo Wuyi had mentioned that he had buried his treasures on the mountain right outside Murong city, Shun Long was certain that he must have meant this 'Elderwood mountain' in front of him.

After flying for a little more than 2 hours, Shun Long finally arrived at the outskirts of the 'Elderwood mountain'.

The moment that he arrived in this place, Shun Long noticed that there were tens of groups of cultivators gathered in the empty area close to the mountain's entrance.

With just a glance, Shun Long could immediately tell, that even the weakest among those people had reached the peak of rank 9 in the Spirit realm, while most of them were actually middle or late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and there were plenty even of Dao Kings as well!

The moment that Shun Long appeared silence immediately filled his surroundings, as the cultivators around him all stared at the silver-winged black panther with surprised and solemn looks, before they turned their gazes towards the black-robed person on its back.

A person who owned a peak rank 6 magic beast had to be, at the very least, someone with an extremely powerful background in the central region or a renowned Dao Emperor who had the strength to forcibly subdue such a magic beast!

Of course, the possibility of Shun Long person being a high-level beast tamer also existed, but the surrounding cultivators all knew that to subdue a peak rank 6 magic beast, would mean that this black-robed person in front of them would have to be at least a peak rank 3 gold-grade beast tamer!

Whether it was peak rank 3 gold-grade alchemists, formation masters, or beast tamers, they were all valued quite highly by every single power within the central region. Thus, the surrounding cultivators all understood that the black-robed person in front of them wasn't someone to be taken lightly.

''Damn! Another expert came! At this rate, they are going to sweep the mountain clean without leaving anything for the rest of us!'' One of the nearby cultivators mumbled in an anxious voice as he stared at Shun Long on the black panther's back, before he turned his gaze towards the entrance of the 'Elderwood mountain' in the distance.

Some of the surrounding cultivators nodded their heads while others remained silent, but all of them were now staring at the entrance of the mountain with heated looks in their eyes!

Little Silver only threw a single at the groups of cultivators around it as it kept flying towards the foot of the 'Elderwood mountain' in front of it without any signs of stopping, but just as it arrived within 100 meters from the mountain's entrance, a powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky forcing Little Silver to stop in its tracks!

''Halt!'' A loud voice that shook the earth came from the distance a moment later, before 2 white-haired old men dressed in crimson robes both flew out from the depths of the 'Elderwood mountain', as they stared calmly at the black panther in front of them.

Shun Long's eyes behind his black robes instantly narrowed as he looked at the 2 old men who had appeared in front of him seemingly out of thin air. 

He could clearly sense that both of these old men were emitting auras that had already surpassed that of Little Silver's, making it clear that they were both Dao Emperors.

At the same time, the tall white-haired old man on the right stared at the black panther in front of him for a few seconds before he turned his attention towards Shun Long.

As for the bald old man who was standing next to him, his eyes curiously examined Little Silver as he mumbled to himself

''Isn't this a 'Silver-winged panther king'? Even the strongest among them should only reach the early rank 6! How can this one reach the peak of rank 6?''

The bald old man was about to stretch out his hand and touch Little Silver, while completely ignoring the threatening growls that Little Silver was letting out, when suddenly, Shun Long who was still sitting on the black panther's back snorted and said in a cold voice

''Baldy, don't you know that you shouldn't touch another person's magic beast without permission?''

At that moment, before the bald old man could respond, the tall, white-haired old man next to him placed his hand on the bald old man's shoulder and pulled him back, before he turned his attention towards Shun Long and said smilingly

''Fellow daoist, my name is Murong Feng and this is my brother, Murong Qiang. It seems that we have caused you some inconvenience, so I hope you can forgive my brother's actions. Naturally, we aren't here to fight you so let me get straight to the point.

I am sure that fellow daoist has also come to search for the treasures in this place. However, if you want to enter the mountain you will have to pay 100 high-grade spirit stones first.''
