Monarch Of Time

Chapter 847: Blood castle

ʼʼMei, what is this black skeleton of yours? Why is it so different from your white skeletons? Itʼs actually strong enough to fight against that Li Tian all by itself?!ʼʼ Xingyi asked with a curious look in her eyes as she stared at the black skeleton that was silently standing just a few meters away from Li Tianʼs corpse.

Meanwhile, Liu Mei first retrieved Li Tianʼs spatial ring and handed it to Shun Long with a bright smile on her face, before she turned to look at Xingyi and said calmly

ʼʼItʼs a skeleton king.ʼʼ

ʼʼSkeleton king?ʼʼ

It wasnʼt just Xingyi who was surprised by Liu Meiʼs answer, but Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian as well, while a curious look had also appeared in Shun Longʼs eyes as he stared at the black skeleton.

Shun Long could sense that even though the black skeletonʼs aura was clearly at the same level as Liu Meiʼs, its actual strength exceeded that of an average early rank 7 Dao King. This was why, even with his pair of 1-star daggers, Li Tian couldnʼt get any advantage in his fight against it.

Nodding her head, Liu Mei explained seriously

ʼʼSkeleton kings are the strongest type of skeletons I can currently create a connection with, and each of them is strong enough to overpower even my Death Eater in a fight. Of course, the Death Eaterʼs defense and survivability are much stronger than the skeleton kingsʼ, but in terms of raw attack power and speed, the skeleton kings are much stronger. However, right now I can only summon 3 skeleton kings at most with my current strength.ʼʼ

Liu Meiʼs last sentence stunned Bai Longtian and the others as they had already thought that Liu Mei had gone all-out during the fight just now.

Just a single one of these black skeletons was strong enough to fight an early rank 7 Dao King like Li Tian to a standstill, and yet Liu Mei could summon 2 more of those monsters at the same time?

If Li Tian was still alive, he would have definitely ended up vomiting blood due to anger and frustration. If he had known about this beforehand, he would have never chosen to attack Shun Longʼs group so hastily.

Unfortunately for him, there was no information about Shun Long and the rest in the memory jades of the ʼWhite tiger chamber of commerceʼ, so Li Tian had no idea what type of people he was fighting against.

Staring at Li Tianʼs unrecognizable corpse that was now nothing more than a pile of raw flesh and blood, Xingyi then looked at Liu Mei and asked her curiously

ʼʼMei, are you going to turn this guy into an undead? No matter what, he is still a late-stage Dao King so he could be quite useful.ʼʼ

Indeed, although ʼjunior brother Xianʼ and the young woman from the ʼWhite tiger chamber of commerceʼ were nothing more than rank 5 Dao Kings, whose strength was even inferior to the undead knights, Li Tianʼs strength was an entirely different matter.

However, Liu Mei merely stared at Li Tianʼs corpse for a few moments in silence, before she shook her head and said

ʼʼItʼs too dangerous.ʼʼ

Xingyi was confused momentarily, but a look of realization suddenly appeared in her bright emerald eyes as she stared at Li Tianʼs corpse.

Indeed, at the end of the day, Li Tian was still a member of the ʼWhite tiger chamber of commerceʼ.

Even if his own position within the ʼWhite tiger chamber of commerceʼ wasnʼt high and he was just a normal disciple, and even if he had been the one to attack Shun Long and his group first, there was no doubt that if another member of the ʼWhite tiger chamber of commerceʼ happened to see his corpse being commanded by Liu Mei during a fight, it would definitely attract endless trouble.

After all, this was still the ʼCity of Immortalsʼ, and there was no doubt that there would be plenty more disciples of the ʼWhite tiger chamber of commerceʼ other than the 3 that they had just killed. Even Shun Long couldnʼt estimate the number of peak rank 9 Dao Kings that the ʼWhite tiger chamber of commerceʼ had sent in this place, let alone the number of late-stage Dao Kings.

Nodding his head, Shun Long first gathered ʼjunior brother Xianʼsʼ and the young womanʼs spatial rings, as well as Li Tianʼs 1-star daggers and placed them all inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ, before he said calmly

ʼʼLetʼs go take a look at the castle here before we leave the city.ʼʼ

After walking around the empty streets for a while, Shun Long soon arrived at the heart of the city, standing in front of the entrance of an enormous castle.

Despite its appearance that made it seem like it could collapse at any moment, Shun Long merely took a look at the castle from the outside, before he stepped through its wide-open gates and entered inside.

Surprisingly, the first thing that Shun Long noticed when he stepped inside, were the countless bodies that were spread everywhere around him, as well as the scent of blood that was present in the air.

The dried blood that had painted the walls and the floor of the castle a deep red color made it obvious that a large-scale fight had taken place here.

However, Jiang Chen and the rest could all tell with just a few glances that this fight had only happened less than a year ago, or the scent of blood in the air wouldnʼt be so intense and the bodies around them would have definitely turned into skeletons by now if that wasnʼt the case.

After staring at his surroundings for a while, Shun Long first closed his eyes and spread his soul sense as far as he could, before he continued to walk towards the depths of the castle.

Of course, even though there were countless bodies around them, Xingyi and the others all noticed that none of these bodies had any spatial rings on them, as they had clearly been looted long ago. Naturally, the people who had killed them wouldnʼt leave their enemiesʼ wealth behind before they left.

As they walked past the thousands of corpses and headed even deeper inside the castle, Jiang Chen suddenly said as he stared at his surroundings

ʼʼI could sense it ever since we arrived here, but the qi in this city is even purer than the qi in that ʼDemon-fanged cityʼ.ʼʼ

Shun Long nodded his head in agreement as he had also sensed the same thing the moment they stepped foot into this city.

Both the qi in the air and the quantity of immortal qi that was mixed with it were many times better than the qi in the ʼDemon-fanged cityʼ where Qiao Min and the rest of the disciples of the Holy sect were staying in.

After walking around the enormous castle for more than an hour, Shun Long and his group finally arrived at the entrance of a large throne room.

However, even before he stepped past the roomʼs entrance and entered inside, Shun Long could smell the scent of blood that was coming from this room which was many times more intense than any other place inside this castle.

It was obvious that a large massacre had taken place here some time ago, and it was clearly much more intense than the fight at the castleʼs entrance.

Staring at the decapitated corpses everywhere around him, some of which were missing their limbs, others missing their heads, while others were in an even worse state than Li Tianʼs corpse, Shun Long shook his head as he understood that there was truly nothing left in this place.

Whoever had come before him had definitely robbed this place clean.

At the same time, he also understood that for such a large fight to have taken place here, the treasures in this place were definitely nothing ordinary. However, Shun Long wasnʼt too disappointed either since he had already expected this outcome from the moment he stepped foot into the castle, since it was extremely unlikely for any treasures to have been left behind.

ʼʼBrother Shun, it seems that we were not fated to get the treasures in this place.ʼʼ Bai Longtian said after a moment of silence.

Nodding his head, Shun Long smiled and turned his gaze towards Bai Longtian and the rest and said calmly

ʼʼItʼs only natural. If there was anything to gain from this place, this city wouldnʼt have been deserted like this to begin with. Letʼs go to the location of the first trial.ʼʼ

Once he finished speaking, Shun Long closed his eyes, before the figure of a huge black panther with bright silver wings appeared in front of him.

After he took one last look at the throne room, Shun Long sat on Little Silverʼs back along with Liu Mei and the rest, before Little Silverʼs figure shot out of the castle like a bolt of silver lightning, flying towards the east of the city.
