Monarch Of Time

Chapter 491 - 491 Bai Longtianʼs reason

ʼʼLook! Is Jiang Chen really going to fight with Bai Longtian?ʼʼ

ʼʼI donʼt think they will. After all, the sectʼs rules forbid fighting outside of the arena! However, what is Bai Longtian doing here? I know that his own courtyard isnʼt close to this place. Could it be that he has really come here to challenge Jiang Chen?ʼʼ

The surrounding disciples who saw Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian ready to fight had started to gather a small distance away from Shun Longʼs courtyard, as they stared at the scene in front of them while discussing the possible scenarios.

Of course, most of those disciples were either disciples who had entered the sect at the same time as Shun Long, Bai Longtian and the rest, or they were those disciples who had been their opponents during the fourth test.

The rest of the outer disciples who didnʼt recognize Jiang Chen or Bai Longtian barely threw a glance at this scene before they continued with what they were doing.

At the same time, Shun Long was also curious as to how those 2 had ended up in a conflict... especially in front of his courtyard.

Without any hesitation, Shun Long then held Liu Meiʼs hand as he walked towards the entrance of his courtyard.

ʼʼHey, isnʼt that Shun Long? Donʼt tell me that he is going to join the fight as well!ʼʼ

ʼʼI wonder whose side he is going to take!ʼʼ

ʼʼWho is that beauty next to him? Donʼt tell me... itʼs the goddess of death, Liu Mei?!ʼʼ

The disciples who saw Shun Long and Liu Mei walking towards the entrance of the courtyard, immediately recognized him due to how much attention he had attracted in the fourth test, and subsequently they also recognized Liu Mei, even though she wasnʼt wearing her white veil.

However, Shun Long ignored the fervent crowd as he turned his attention towards Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian in front of him, before he said seriously

ʼʼCome inside!ʼʼ

Taking out his sect identifying token, he then deactivated the protective formations around his courtyard, before he and Liu Mei stepped past the courtyardʼs entrance.

Jiang Chen looked at Shun Long seriously before snorting once, and after throwing one more look at Bai Longtian, he too entered the courtyard.

Bai Longtian instead had an excited look in his eyes when he looked at Shun Long, as he followed after Jiang Chen without a second thought.

ʼʼWhat? This is Shun Longʼs courtyard? Then why were those 2 waiting right outside of its entrance?ʼʼ

ʼʼWait! I heard that Jiang Chen refused senior brother Qian Taoʼs invitation to join his faction and declared that he would join Shun Longʼs instead!ʼʼ

ʼʼRight! I heard about this earlier today as well! Maybe Bai Longtian has entered senior brother Qian Taoʼs faction already, and he came to fight with Jiang Chen to teach him a lesson?ʼʼ

ʼʼBut Jiang Chen is extremely strong... I donʼt think thatʼs possible!ʼʼ

Completely oblivious to the discussions among the disciples outside Shun Longʼs courtyard or the attention that they had both attracted, Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian both stared at Shun Long before they turned to look at each other.

Feeling the tension between them that still hadnʼt disappeared, Shun Long had a calm look on his face as he turned his eyes towards Jiang Chen and asked curiously

ʼʼWhat happened between the two of you?ʼʼ

Of course, what also surprised Shun Long, was that within a single week both Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian had advanced in their cultivation.

Jiang Chen had already reached the middle of rank 4 in the Nascent Soul, while Bai Longtian had reached the early rank 4 of the Nascent Soul as well.

Of course, the reason why they could advance so quickly was because they had both reached the pinnacle of the early rank 4 and peak of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul respectively and were just a step away from breaking through, while the insights that they had obtained from their fights during the fourth test were actually enough for them to keep cultivating even more.

At the same time, Jiang Chen ignored Bai Longtian, as he turned his attention towards Shun Long before he replied

ʼʼI told you that I would come and visit you in a few days, but when I came to your place I saw this buddhist idiot standing outside the courtyard. I naturally asked him what he wanted to do, but as soon as I got close to him and saw his face, I could feel a huge irritation and barely held myself back.ʼʼ

Bai Longtian nodded his head when he heard this, as he looked at Jiang Chen and said seriously

ʼʼSenior brother Jiang, it is because your heart isnʼt pure. Cultivating in an evil Dao will only give rise to chaos and madness in your heart. This goes against the Dao of the Buddha!ʼʼ

Instantly, a look of realization appeared on Shun Longʼs face as he stared at Bai Longtian and Jiang Chen and understood what the problem was.

Jiang Chenʼs ʼDemonic Daoʼ and Bai Longtianʼs ʼDao of the Buddhaʼ were 2 oppossing Daos so it was only natural that the two of them would end up fighting with each other.

This was a reaction that came from their Daos themselves.

Even if Bai Longtian didnʼt show it to the same extent, it was obvious that he too disliked being around Jiang Chen.

At that moment however, Bai Longtian ignored Jiang Chen and he turned his attention towards Shun Long, before he said with a smile on his face

ʼʼBrother Shun Long, even though we both came from the Night star continent, this is the first time that we actually meet each other. I came to visit you a few days ago as well, but I could only give up since you were in seclusion.ʼʼ

As he said this, Bai Longtian cupped his hands at Liu Mei, as a gesture of thanks for informing him about this the last time and said that he could try again in 1 or 2 weeks if he wanted to meet Shun Long, before he turned his attention towards Shun Long once again.

Shun Long nodded his head with a curious look on his face as he stared at Bai Longtian.

Unlike Jiang Chen, the young man in front of him had no obvious connection with him and neither did he have an immortal grade bloodline, which made Shun Long curious as to why Bai Longtian had approached him out of his own volition twice.

Feeling Shun Longʼs profound and penetrative gaze landing on his body that looked like it could peer through all of his secrets, made Bai Longtian shiver for a moment, but the young white lord still took a deep breath and stared at Shun Long before he said seriously

ʼʼI believe that brother Shun Long is also curious as to why I came to visit you twice now.ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head while even Liu Mei and Jiang Chen were also staring at the black-haired, blue-eyed young man as they waited for his answer.

Bai Longtianʼs eyes however were focused on Shun Long completely ignoring Liu Mei and Jiang Chen, while his tone slowly turned solemn as he continued

ʼʼItʼs because my fate is connected with brother Shun Longʼs!ʼʼ
