Monarch of Time

Shun Long nodded his head and accepted the silver token from Liao Huo, before he placed it inside his spatial ring along with the memory jade with the information about the Dao Emperors of the Murong family.

Even if Liao Huo hadn't mentioned it, Shun Long was still planning to take a look at the auction and see if there were any treasures that could help him, as well as Liu Mei and the rest, all increase their strength before the opening of the City of Immortals.

As for the earth flame, although Shun Long wanted to get his hands on it, he knew that his chances of winning the auction were practically nonexistent.

Just like Liao Huo had said, there were bound to be even some Sovereign realm experts who would be fighting over the earth flame.

Although Shun Long knew that he would be considered wealthy even if he was compared to most peak rank 9 Dao Emperors like the Grand Elder, he also understood that if he wanted to fight Sovereign realm experts for the earth flame, even a million high-grade spirit stones wouldn't be enough to let him secure it.

Sometime later, under Liao Huo's attentive gaze, Shun Long left the 'Intelligence room' and walked towards the staircase that led him back to the third floor.

Since he had already obtained everything he needed from this place, Shun Long was planning to enter seclusion for the next month, until the auction of the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' began.

Meanwhile, inside the 'Intelligence room', a moment after Shun Long had left, the amiable smile quickly vanished from Liao Huo's face, as the silver-robed Dao Emperor stared at the door of the 'Intelligence room' and mumbled to himself in a calm manner

''More and more experts have been gathering in the city lately. If the Murong family wants to obtain the earth flame, it seems that they will have to bleed quite a bit.''

Liao Huo's serious expression disappeared soon after, as the silver-robed Dao Emperor continued to enjoy his tea with a calm smile on his face. No matter what happened, Liao Huo was certain that the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' would be the one who would end up profiting the most from this.

At the same time, sitting on Little Silver's back, Shun Long left the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' and walked around Murong city as he looked for a place to stay.

Around an hour later, he arrived at a large inn near the heart of the city and spent 4000 middle-grade spirit stones to rent a courtyard for the next one month.

After he entered the room Shun Long sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes, before he imagined himself entering the foggy space inside the 'Stone of Time'.

A moment later, sitting on his usual spot, Shun Long held the memory jade that he had purchased from Liao Huo in his hands and used his qi to activate it, before he sent his soul sense inside it soon after.

The moment that his soul sense entered the memory jade, Shun Long could feel a stream of information entering his mind, as different faces and information about those faces quickly filled his mind.

''Murong Chang: Early rank 1 Dao Emperor. Broke through to the Dao Emperor realm 30 years ago while cultivating a Saint middle-grade cultivation technique of the Murong family. He doesn't belong to the main branch of the Murong family and thus, he wasn't given access to the core cultivation technique of the Murong family, the 'Soul encompassing lotus' until he broke through to the Dao Emperor realm.

He wields a saber and has mastered a powerful Saint middle-grade martial skill for it, making him stronger than most other early rank 1 Dao Emperors.''

''Murong Hu: Middle rank 2 Dao Emperor. He belongs to the main branch of the Murong family. He broke through to the Dao Emperor realm 600 years ago, while cultivating the core cultivation technique of the Murong family, the 'Soul encompassing lotus'. 

He wields a greatsword and although he has powerful physical strength that surpasses average early rank 3 Dao Emperors, his speed is his greatest weakness.''

As he kept taking in the information from the memory jade, Shun Long was surprised to see how detailed the information of the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' about the Dao Emperors of the Murong family really was.

Not only was there information about the cultivation techniques and the martial skills of most of those Dao Emperors, but it even included the weapons that they used, as well as their strengths and weaknesses.

Of course, although Shun Long wasn't interested in most of these Dao Emperors, he didn't mind learning more about them either. 

After all, some of them may end up blocking his path once he tried to kill Murong Tian.

Shun Long also noticed that the Murong family had several more Dao Emperors than the Holy sect.

At least as far as he knew, the Holy sect only had around 20 Dao Emperors, including the Grand Elder and all the inner court Elders, but the Murong family seemed to have well more than 30 of them.

Finally, after reading information for more than 30 Dao Emperors of the Murong family, a familiar name finally appeared in Shun Long's mind.

''Murong Tian: The current patriarch of the Murong family. He is the strongest Dao Emperor of the Murong family and one of the strongest experts in the entire city, breaking through to become a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor 3000 years ago! The old ancestor of the Murong family personally appointed him to become the patriarch after Murong Tian broke through to the peak of the Dao Emperor realm.''

Shun Long was momentarily stunned when he took in the information in his mind about Murong Tian.

The person that Huo Wuyi wanted him to deal with was actually the current patriarch of the Murong family?
