Sheng Jun's expression instantly darkened the moment that he received a report from one of the Dao Kings inside the throne room, that a fight had erupted between their Shengtian dynasty and the 'Alchemists' Guild'!

The peak rank 9 Dao King stood rooted on the spot, torn whether he should return back to the 'Dragon Lord's villa' and destroy Zhao Lan's group, or whether he should continue chasing after Shun Long.

In the end, Sheng Jun simply stared at the 'Dragon Lord's villa's' direction as he mumbled to himself

''Zhao Lan! I will make you regret this!''

Without wasting any more time, the old king of the Shengtian dynasty continued flying towards the north of the 'Night star continent'.

After all, in Sheng Jun's mind, just that black sword or that translucent armor, were worth far more than all the rank 3 gold-grade weapons in the 'Dragon Lord's villa' together!

...

While Sheng Jun kept flying towards the northern part of the 'Night star continent' with an ugly expression on his face, Shun Long and Liu Mei had left the small forest that was a few hundred miles away from the 'City of Sin', as they flew towards the east of the 'Night star continent'.

Although Shun Long knew that it would take a longer amount of time if he and Liu Mei flew towards the eastern part of the continent by themselves instead of riding on Little Silver's back, this time he had to be extremely cautious.

After all, the crowd at the entrance of the 'Dragon Lord's villa had already seen 2 black-robed people enter the villa's gates on the 'Silver-winged panther king's' back, while 2 other people similarly dressed in black, left the villa just a day later, riding on a black dragon.

Shun Long wouldn't underestimate the intelligence of every single person in the crowd, and think that they would be unable to put 2 and 2 together to figure out that the black panther had something to do with the people on the black dragon's back.

This was also the reason why he didn't dare to summon Little Silver, and instead, he continued to fly with Liu Mei by themselves.

A week soon passed, and yet, Shun Long and Liu Mei had only crossed two-thirds of the distance required to reach the eastern part of the continent.

During this time, Shun Long and Liu Mei had spotted more than just one group of golden-robed cultivators patrolling the northern part of the continent.

From the robes that these people were wearing, Shun Long could instantly guess, that they were members of the Shengtian dynasty.

However, since Shun Long and Liu Mei were wearing their normal clothes instead of the black robes, the groups of Nascent Soul experts from the Shengtian dynasty ignored everyone who wasn't related to the black dragon!

At the same time, and especially now that there were just 2 more months left before the test of the Holy sect started, it was completely normal for peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivators to travel through the continent in search of fortuitous encounters, just like the young man that Shun Long had met in the 'Ten thousand beasts' mountain range', Chen Yan.

After all, in the Holy sect's test, peak rank 9 Spirit realm cultivators would be at the bottom of the barrel, while even Nascent Soul stage experts may not necessarily pass it successfully.

3 more days soon passed, and Shun Long and Liu Mei finally arrived outside a middle-sized city in the eastern part of the 'Night star continent'.

Although this city was smaller than the Silver sword city, there were hundreds of cultivators entering and leaving through the gates at all times.

The moment that Shun Long's eyes fell upon the city, an invisible wave of energy appeared from his body, covering the city completely, before Little Black's voice sounded in his head

''Master, this city only has a dozen Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and even the strongest of them is only at the peak of rank 3!''

Nodding his head, Shun Long exhaled a sigh of relief, before he held Liu Mei's hand and queued up at the entrance of the city. ...

After paying 100 low-grade spirit stones, Shun Long and Liu Mei were allowed to enter the city, before Shun Long looked around for an inn to spend the night.

As for the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators inside the city, although Shun Long believed that he wouldn't come into conflict with them since he was planning to just stay inside the inn in the first place, he wasn't afraid of them either.

Now that he had already advanced to the peak of rank 9 in the Spirit realm as well as the peak of the fourth stage in his 'Monarch's Eternal body', Shun Long believed that he could fight against most normal early-stage Nascent Soul experts without any problems.

As for Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were newly advanced, he was certain that he could destroy them with a single move.

After spending 600 low-grade spirit stones to rent a large courtyard for 1 month, Shun Long and Liu Mei entered inside the room and closed the door, before they sat cross-legged on the meditative cushions on the floor.

Seeing the dazzling, gentle smile on Liu Mei's face after she finally removed her white veil, a warm feeling appeared in Shun Long's heart.

After all, Shun Long knew, that Liu Mei had felt extreme pressure during the time when they were facing the 2 peak rank 9 Dao Kings in the depths of the villa.

After all, one of those people was the hall master of the 'Demon Emperor Palace', a power that wasn't located in the 'Night star continent', but instead, the place where they would be going towards soon, the central region, while the other one was most likely the old king of one of the strongest powers in the 'Night star continent'.

There was practically no Spirit realm cultivator who wouldn't feel pressure when facing those 2 old monsters.

After sitting cross-legged on the floor, Shun Long waved his hand, and a black sword with strange patterns on it, as well as a translucent armor appeared in front of him and Liu Mei.

Feeling the pressure that was coming from the black sword and the translucent armor from such a close distance, waves of shock appeared in Shun Long's heart.

At the same time, Liu Mei also asked in a shocked voice

''Long-ge, are these really gold-grade weapons?''

Liu Mei had seen a fair share of gold-grade weapons along with Shun Long during the past 3 years, and her 'Four seasons azure sword' was also a peak rank 1 gold grade sword, but she could clearly feel that the aura coming from the sword and the armor in front of her was completely different from the gold grade weapons that she had encountered in the past.

After a moment of serious thinking, Shun Long shook his head before he said confidently

''They have definitely exceeded the gold-grade!

Even the rank 3 gold grade weapons in the 'Dragon Lord's villa' didn't have this kind of aura.''

The moment that he finished his words, Little Black's voice sounded in Shun Long's mind as he said

''Master, these are peak 1-star weapons!''

''1-star weapons?''
