Legend Of The Perfect Emperor - Chapter 44

The news of Long Chen’s death spread throughout the Qing Shan Continent like wildfire, shocking people left and right.

For a supreme existence like him to die so suddenly by the hands of some unknown expert; it was just too shocking.

Countless cultivators around Qing Shan Continent suddenly became wary of Soaring Sun City of the mysterious senior. Even many hidden cultivators and families started paying attention to the place.

The news of Long Chen’s death was so shocking that even the Qing Dynasty was alerted!

The current Qing Shan Continent overlord who was also the Clan Head of the Qing Dynasty, Qing Shan, currently sat around a round table with three other individuals, each surrounded by a mysterious aura that came from their cultivation base with its profoundness exceeding Long Chen’s!

“This ‘mysterious senior,’ who do you think he is?” Asked one of the three figures.

“Rumour has it that he is a Monarch Realm expert just like us. I only know a handful of people who are at the Monarch Realm besides us. However, their character does not fit the criteria. None of them would have bothered to hide their identity even if they wished to kill Long Chen.”

“A Monarch who wishes to stay low-key Do you think this person will join us?”

“That is impossible to tell since we don’t even know this individual’s name or face.”

“Haaa” The female that sat in front of the three figures sighed, her expression showing dilemma.

“Whoever this Monarch is, he killed Long Chen, Long Mulan’s son,” she suddenly said. “And Long Mulan is a part of the Four Heavenly Monarchy, one of my Qing Dynasty’s most distinguished general.”

“Once he finds out the death of Long Chen, he will surely try to avenge him, and when that happens, our Qing Dynasty will have to back him up.”

The female was Qing Shan, the current Empress of the Spirit Realm in the Ninth Heaven and also the head of the Qing Dynasty.

“Aiya. Why did it have to be Long Chen? Long Mulan will not sit still even if we force him!”

“Speaking of Mulan, where is he right now? I haven’t heard from him for some time now.”

“He went to the center of the Silent Valley to collect a Sovereign-Grade Beast Core for Long Chen who was very close to breaking through to the next stage,” said Qing Shan, sighing again afterward.

“Every Monarch in the Spirit Realm is extremely important, especially to us, who wishes to ascend to the Realm of Gods!” Qing Shan said with a serious expression.

The Realm of Gods is a mythical place that every cultivator wished to traverse; it was a place filled with ancient and heavenly resources, divine places filled with profound truths it was a place where True Immortals and Gods roamed.

To cultivators outside of the Realm of Gods, that place is simply a cultivator’s paradise a place where dreams come true!

However, despite their knowledge of the Realm of Gods, nobody knew how to get there.

“There is no point in worrying about Long Mulan and that Monarch. If Mulan cannot find the Monarch, then that would be the best outcome. Although my Qing Dynasty does not fear this Monarch, I also do not want unnecessary drama.” Qing Shan said. “For now, we will wait to see if this mysterious senior will dare show himself again.”

“When Mulan comes back, give him the news of Long Chen’s death. Whatever he decides to do after that will be up to him.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The three figures disappeared like ghosts, leaving Qing Shan sighing at the table.

“A Martial Skill that summons a dragon with scales like the starry sky, huh. That sounds like the legendary Martial Skill, Profound Dragon Devours the Heaven” she mumbled to herself.

“Who is this Monarch and why did he really kill Tian Long and Long Chen? Although they have done questionable things before, why would it bother a supreme existence like a Monarch? This makes no sense”

Qing Shan silently pondered about the identity of the mysterious senior, thinking of ways to recruit this person into their team for the day they fight their way to the Realm of Gods!

=====

Back at the Soaring Sun City, three figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.

“T-The remaining three Sect Master of the Four Ancient Lands!”

“They arrived faster than I’d thought! Long Chen died only half an hour ago!”

Three figures floated in the air above the masses, their faces with serious expressions.

They were the Sect Masters of the Ancient Lands, and they all sacrificed a precious teleportation treasure to appear here as fast as possible upon hearing the news of Long Chen’s death.

The Supreme Elders and disciples nearly cried upon seeing their Sect Masters. The atmosphere here was just too suffocating even for them, and they needed their presence to finally breathe properly.

“S-Sect Master!”

The disciples from all three Sect ran towards their respective Sect Masters with teary eyes and stuffy noses as though they were children running to their grandparents after experiencing something terrifying.
