Monarch Of Time

Chapter 297 - 297 Imprisoned

A special type of energy that was similar to soul sense exploded from Zhong Qiuʼs eyes, as it entered inside Shun Longʼs body.

The moment that white light tried to approach Shun Longʼs spiritual space, the ʼStone of Timeʼ emitted a bright blue light in response, that went after Zhong Qiuʼs ʼsoul senseʼ like an angry magic beast whose den was under attack.

Zhong Qiu hadnʼt even managed to enter inside Shun Longʼs spiritual space when a sudden sense of lethal danger filled his heart.

As an extremely high-level expert, the thing that he trusted the most was his own instincts!

Without any hesitation, he hurriedly retracted his ʼsoul senseʼ back to his own body.

However, he was still half a step too late, as the bright blue light managed to touch a small part of his ʼsoul senseʼ, before he had enough time to retract it in his body.

Under the 2 silver-armored guardsʼ horrified eyes, Zhong Qiu clutched his c.h.e.s.t and fell on his knees, before he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The guards had never seen Zhong Qiu getting injured before, but this time he got hurt when he tried to soul search an unconscious person?

Was this even possible?

Of course, the 2 of them only raised their heads for a moment before they hurriedly lowered them back on the ground.

Zhong Qiu however didnʼt even pay attention to the 2 guards, as he looked at his own blood on the ground with eyes filled with disbelief.

ʼʼHow is this possible?ʼʼ

The silver-robed middle-aged man muttered under his breath, while his gaze darted from his blood that had stained the ground to the unconscious Shun Long.

He instinctively wanted to try and soul search the young man in front of him one more time, but the injury he had received wasnʼt a light one.

Although it wasnʼt lethal, Zhong Qiu knew that his soul was currently injured.

Additionally, not only had he failed to invade the young manʼs spiritual space, but he had also felt a sense of lethal danger in the process, and in the end, his soul had also been wounded by a terrifying power in the process.

If he hadnʼt retracted his ʼsoul senseʼ in time, Zhong Qiu didnʼt know what extents his injuries would have reached.

A trace of confusion as well as fear flashed through his eyes as he stared at Shun Long.

Raising his hand instinctively, Zhong Qiu wanted to end Shun Longʼs life in a single punch, but he suddenly remembered that he had yet to find out how he had arrived here.

The silver-armored guards in front of him had no idea about what had happened either.

After a moment of serious thinking, the silver-robed Zhong Qiu grabbed Shun Longʼs body, and in front of the 2 kneeling guards, he disappeared in a flash.

A few minutes later, Zhong Qiu had reappeared at the depths of the majestic red palace, where the pillar of light was coming from.

The golden-robed old manʼs half-closed slightly widened as he looked at Zhong Qiu who had just arrived, and with a voice that barely concealed his astonishment, the old man then asked

ʼʼYour soul is injured?ʼʼ

Nodding his head, Zhong Qiu answered respectfully

ʼʼReplying to Grand Elder, itʼs nothing serious. As long as I consume a ʼGolden Soul healing pelletʼ, I should be able to heal in less than a year.

No... I hadnʼt even started the soul search before a scary power exploded from that personʼs spiritual sea!

Iʼm afraid that if I hadnʼt retreated in time, I would have really suffered.ʼʼ

As soon as the golden-robed old man heard this, his eyes turned extremely profound, while a bright light flashed inside them.

As for the other middle-aged man, the handsome young man and the young woman behind him, they were all shocked speechless.

ʼʼWho could hurt ʼElder Zhongʼ while they were still unconscious?ʼʼ

Everyone turned their attention to the golden-robed old man, who still had his hands on the purple sphere of light in front of him.

From the emotionless look in his deep black eyes, they couldnʼt even guess anything about his thoughts.

Looking at Zhong Qiu, the old man then asked in a curious tone

ʼʼWhat did you do with this person?ʼʼ

ʼʼI personally placed him in the 7th layer of the ʼEternal Confinement Immortal Prisonʼ.ʼʼ

Nodding his head, the old manʼs eyes once again turned at the purple sphere in front of him, before he said in an emotionless expression

ʼʼGood! Just leave him there for the time being then.ʼʼ

Zhong Qiu bowed at the old man in front of him without saying another word.

...

It was unknown how much time had passed, until Shun Long finally opened his eyes.

Raising his head, Shun Long found himself inside a dark, unfamiliar place. In the sky, there were no stars, no sun and no moon, and yet, a light still allowed Shun Long to see his surroundings.

He was inside a small cell, while his body was bound by some sort of black chains that were hanging from the wall behind him.

Countless lifelike runes were engraved on the chains, while some sort of unfamiliar power seemed to be lying inside them.

After taking a look at his surroundings, Shun Long frowned, before he tried to remember what had just happened to him.

ʼʼRight. It was the ʼStone of Timeʼ that had started to rotate, before I arrived again in front of the red palace. Then someone seemed to have attacked my soul, and combined with the pain from the ʼStone of Timeʼ, I finally passed out.ʼʼ

As soon as he remembered what had happened to him, another question appeared in Shun Longʼs mind

ʼʼThen, where am I now?ʼʼ

Looking at the black chains that had bound his arms and legs, Shun Long frowned.

He could feel a special type of energy coming from them, that was restricting even his ʼMonarchʼs Eternal bodyʼ.

Even after pulling these chains with his full strength, it was useless. The chains wouldnʼt even budge.

ʼʼHehehe!ʼʼ

Suddenly, an old and ear-grating voice sounded in Shun Longʼs ears, as an old man seemed to have spoken from the cell right opposite to Shun Longʼs

ʼʼBrat, there is no point in trying to escape! You should just preserve your strength and try to live for a few more years. After all, it is simply impossible to escape from the ʼEternal Confinement Immortal Prisonʼ!ʼʼ
