Monarch of Time

The calm look inside Murong Tian's eyes seemed to have instantly disappeared the moment his eyes landed on the ball of black flames in the black dragon's mouth.

Although he had never seen flames like these before, Murong Tian was a person who always trusted his own feeling, and he could instantly sense that this ball of black flames in front of him was extremely dangerous.

It was something that even a peak Dao Emperor like him had never felt before, a type of flame that could eradicate his very existence.

Without any hesitation, Murong Tian immediately turned around and flew towards the Murong estate like a bolt of lightning, not caring about his own appearance in the least.

The only thing that mattered right now, was getting away from this 'Burning noble restaurant' and returning to the Murong estate to ask for help from the 2 Sovereign realm experts of the Murong family!

At that moment however, the look inside Little Black's eyes seemed to have turned even colder than before, as the black dragon opened his mouth and spat the ball of black flames towards Murong Tian without the slightest hint of mercy in his eyes.

Murong Tian could clearly sense the danger approaching him from behind and he immediately realized that it was impossible for him to escape.

Gritting his teeth, he then turned around and punched out with his right hand, as his cultivation at the peak of rank 9 in the Dao Emperor realm exploded out at full force.

Paired with his body refinement cultivation that was at the middle of the seventh stage, Murong Tian's all-out attack could seriously injure even a rank 9 Dao Emperor who took it head-on!

And yet, the moment that his hand touched the black flames, a look of puzzlement that was followed by terror appeared on his face, as he hurriedly turned to look at his own fist.

Indeed, Murong Tian then noticed that his entire right hand had been completely engulfed by the black flames, while the peak 2-star armor on his body had been unable to protect him.

Murong Tian didn't even have enough time to scream before the black flames started to expand, completely covering his entire body in just a few moments.

''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'' A single, miserable scream filled with pain and terror resounded through the air, bringing chills to everyone who heard it, before it fell silent a few moments later.

Along with Murong Tian's scream, the entire 'Burning noble restaurant' had also descended into silence, as the cultivators present all stared at the patriarch of the Murong family who seemed to have disappeared in front of their eyes.

The patriarch family that ruled Murong city and a Dao Emperor who was ranked in the 10 strongest Dao Emperors in the northern part of the central region seemed to have instantly died right in front of them, without the slightest ability to resist!

Instead, only a piece of bronze armor and a half-charred spatial ring were left in the place where he was standing just now.

Without any hesitation, Little Black retrieved the Murong Tian's piece of armor and his spatial ring and handed them to Shun Long, before he then said

''Master, we should leave now or all of this work of ours will end up being for nothing.''

Nodding his head, Shun Long placed Murong Tian's armor and his spatial ring inside the 'Stone of Time', before he sat on Little Black's back and said to him mentally

''Let's go.''

Little Black spread his massive black wings and flapped them once, soaring in the sky, as his figure quickly disappeared from Murong city.

...

At the same time, in the depths of the Murong estate, inside a secluded private room that was filled with extremely dense qi, an emaciated old man who was sitting cross-legged on the ground seemed to have snapped his eyes open at that moment, as he turned his attention towards the 2 jade tablets in front of him.

''Tian'er... died?'' 

The old man mumbled to himself as he stared at the broken jade tablet with a look of disbelief, before his cultivation base suddenly burst outwards like a torrential wave.

A terrifying aura instantly covered the entire Murong city in the next moment, startling every single expert present within it.

All of the experts within the Murong estate were similarly startled when they sensed this aura, before all of them turned their attention towards the same place in the depths of the Murong estate

''Is this the old ancestor? What's going on?''

''What happened? I thought that the old ancestor was in seclusion as he tried to breakthrough to the late stages of the Sovereign realm! Why is he suddenly furious?''

The experts of the Murong family couldn't understand what was going on.

How could their old ancestor have suddenly become so angry?

Indeed, the emaciated old man who was now filled with endless killing intent, was no one else but the old ancestor of the Murong family.

As for the 2 jade tablets in front of him, one of them naturally belonged to Murong Tian, while the other belonged to the other Sovereign realm expert of their Murong family!

The old ancestor of the Murong family instantly spread his soul sense to the absolute limit, before he disappeared from his private room in the next moment, appearing in the sky above the 'Burning noble restaurant' a few moments later.

The moment that the old man arrived in the 'Burning noble restaurant', the manager who had already witnessed Murong Tian's death a few moments ago started to tremble, as he spoke in a terrified voice

''A-A-Ancestor!''

''Tell me! Who killed Tian'er?''

The old ancestor of the Murong family said furiously as he looked at the manager of the 'Burning noble restaurant'.

''Ancestor... the patriarch...''

The old ancestor of the Murong family merely snorted when he noticed the terrified look on the manager's face and immediately understood that the manager was so scared in his presence that he couldn't even speak.

Waving his hand, the old ancestor then pulled the manager in front of him, before he started to search through his memories under the surrounding cultivators' terrified eyes.

A few moments later, the old ancestor's expression was momentarily filled with shock before the killing intent in his eyes deepened even further, as he turned his gaze towards the direction that Little Black had flew off just now.

''You think you can escape?'' The old man said in a cold voice before his figure disappeared from Murong city, heading towards the same direction as Little Black!
