Absolute silence permeated the gigantic hall the moment that the peak Dao Kings saw the black dragon, as well as the 2 people who were riding on his back.

Looking at the tense situation in front of him, waves of shock appeared in Shun Long's heart, while Little Black's voice sounded in his head at the same time

''Master, the old man in golden robes and the middle-aged man with red hair are both peak rank 9 Dao Kings!

Although they aren't among the absolute strongest Dao Kings, they aren't weak either.

Especially the red-haired man. His aura is even slightly stronger than the golden-robed old man's, while his saber has already exceeded the gold grade!

However, the golden-robed old man isn't less dangerous than him either.

He can actually pose lethal danger to myself and master!

The golden talisman in his hands... most likely contains the full-powered blow of a Dao Emperor!''

The moment that he heard Little Black's assessment of the 2 Dao Kings, Shun Long could feel cold sweat rolling from his back.

Both groups that were standing in front of him, were actually strong enough to threaten his and Liu Mei's, as well as Little Black's lives.

And yet, Little Black seemed to have only thrown a glance at the 2 powerful groups in front of him, before he turned his attention towards the gigantic beam of light next to Duan Zhu and Sheng Jun with shining eyes.

Seeing the black dragon's fervent gaze, Duan Zhu turned his eyes to look at the black-robed Shun Long before he asked in a probing manner

''Who are you?''

Duan Zhu had been shocked when he realized that he couldn't feel any aura coming from Shun Long's body, instinctively making him apprehensive.

Although Duan Zhu knew that there were certain techniques that could completely conceal a person's cultivation level, this was the first time that he was unable to feel even the slightest hint of aura coming from a person.

His 'Demon Emperor Palace's' Saint grade 'Demon Blood Refinement art', could usually detect a person's aura regardless of how much they tried to cover it with their own cultivation technique.

There have never been a precedent where Duan Zhu couldn't sense anything at all!

''This can only mean 2 things! Either that person's cultivation is already above the Dao King realm, or his cultivation technique is actually a Saint high-grade cultivation technique as well, and one that is especially suited to concealing their own aura!

In both cases, the power behind these 2 people is most likely at the same level as my 'Demon Emperor Palace'.

Even if they are weaker, they can't be too far off! After all, I have never before heard of a power taming a living dragon!

Even in our central region, only the absolutely strongest powers can maybe have a chance to see a living dragon!''

...As these thoughts flashed through Duan Zhu's mind, the peak rank 9 Dao King took an even more defensive posture.

Although the power behind Shun Long could very likely be at the same level, or even stronger than his 'Demon Emperor Palace', this didn't mean that Duan Zhu would back away!

Unless Shun Long was actually a Dao Emperor, he could forget about getting the treasures from the 'Dragon Lord's villa'.

At the same time, half of Sheng Jun's army took defensive positions, as 5 late-stage Dao Kings faced the black dragon and the 2 people on its back, while the rest faced Duan Zhu, not allowing him to make any sudden movements!

Although Sheng Jun didn't speak, it was obvious that he was also waiting for Shun Long's answer.

At the same time, after hearing Little Black's voice in his mind once again, Shun Long tried to calm himself down, before he turned his attention to the 2 peak Dao Kings who were waiting for his answer.

Shun Long looked completely unfazed by the situation in front of him, and staring at the old king of the Shengtian dynasty, as well as the hall master of the 'Demon Emperor Palace', he didn't speak but instead, he simply pointed forward.

Under Duan Zhu's and Sheng Jun's astounded eyes, Little Black flew towards the gigantic beam of light like a streak of black lightning tearing through the mid-day sky.

And yet, after flinching for a moment, Duan Zhu and Sheng Jun merely snickered in response.

If it was that easy to break the gigantic beam of light, Duan Zhu would have done so long ago, and wouldn't have waited for Sheng Jun to come and ruin his plans.

Sweat had appeared on Shun Long's forehead that was covered by his black robes, but he could only grit his teeth and hope that this 'plan' would work!

Duan Zhu and Sheng Jun stared at the black dragon with mocking looks in their eyes, as they waited for Little Black to crash on the pillar of light and get injured before making their move.

However, contrary to their expectations, the moment that Little Black appeared in front of the gigantic light pillar, the entire 'Dragon Lord's villa' started to tremble!

Shock appeared in Duan Zhu's, Sheng Jun's and the other Dao Kings' eyes, but before they could realize what had happened, a large hole was suddenly opened in the barrier in front of Little Black.

Without any hesitation, the black dragon entered inside the large pillar of light, completely ignoring the shocked Dao Kings behind him.

''Quickly, after him!''

Sheng Jun was the first one to speak, barely a moment later, as the powerful old king of the Shengtian dynasty flew towards the huge hole before he had even finished his own words!

Duan Zhu had made his move at the same time, as he also followed behind Sheng Jun not even a split-second later!

The Dao Kings of the Shengtian dynasty all followed behind Sheng Jun and Duan Zhu, as they flocked towards the opening of the hole like a terrifying flock of hungry magic beasts!

Having entered inside the pillar of light before Duan Zhu and the rest, a stunning scene appeared in Shun Long's eyes!
