Although Shun Long's voice wasn't loud, it was filled with so much anger and killing intent, that Shun Fang didn't doubt that if the people responsible were in front of him right now, they wouldn't even die with their corpses intact.
With a serious look in his eyes, Shun Fang nodded his head, and after adjusting his seating posture with some difficulty, he looked at Shun Long's eyes before he said seriously
''It all started a week ago.
Dong Weifeng came to our house and explained to me that he was facing a serious problem.
His third son, Dong Lingyuan that disgusting brat, seduced the daughter of a rank 2 Heaven grade expert from one of the nearby kingdoms.
Even I don't know how he managed to come in contact with her and how he ended up seducing her, but it was said that that woman fell head over heels for him.
Dong Lingyuan explained to her how hard his life was in the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', with his elder brother, Dong Lingxin as the crown prince suppressing him and 'destroying his life'.
As soon as that woman heard this, she replied to Dong Lingyuan that she would personally ask her father to come to the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' and kill his elder brother Dong Lingxin, before forcing the king to make Dong Lingyuan the new crown prince.''
Shun Long's eyes chilled as he seemed to have understood the gist of the matter, while Dong Lingyuan's face soon appeared in his mind.
Just because he wanted to become the crown prince, he had somehow caused the whole of 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' to fall into chaos.
However, this didn't explain Shun Fang's and Shun An's condition.
After all, although Shun Fang was a man who upheld justice, Shun Long knew that he wouldn't choose to fight someone like Wei Tai for no reason, especially since this had nothing to do with him.
Looking like he had understood what Shun Long was thinking, Shun Fang had a mocking smile on his face as he continued
''Although Dong Weifeng had announced that he would let his children fight for the throne by themselves and allow the most resourceful one to become the next king, in the end, he wasn't willing to see his eldest son fall into despair and die when he got the news of Dong Lingyuan getting a Heaven grade expert as his backer.
After all, the backer that Dong Lingyuan had found, had also exceeded the sphere of influence and control that Dong Weifeng had.
No matter what, it was impossible for him to control a Heaven grade cultivator who had no relations with the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom'!
A day after the news spread, both Dong Weifeng and the crown prince, Dong Lingxin came to our house and begged me to intervene and fight off Wei Tai.
After all, although Wei Tai was an early rank 2 Heaven grade expert, in the past few months, your father had already advanced to the peak of rank 1 in Heaven grade!
However, I refused without so much as even thinking about it.
What did it have to do with our family whether Dong Lingxin lives or dies, or whether Dong Lingyuan becomes the crown prince and the next king?
Should I risk my life, just because they personally beg me to fight? This isn't giving them face, this would be me becoming Dong Weifeng's personal lapdog every time someone that he couldn't handle appeared.
No matter what, I always do what I like, and no one can force me to do what I don't want to!
This is how I, Shun Fang live my life!
As for my relationship with Dong Weifeng, although it couldn't be considered a bad one, it wasn't to the level of me risking my life for him!''
Shun Long nodded his head, as Shun Fang seemed to have confirmed his guess.
Indeed, his father wouldn't risk his own and his mother's lives, just to fight for Dong Lingxin.
However, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, Shun Fang's eyes seemed to have been filled with anger and undisguised mockery as he continued
''Hehe, however, who would expect that Dong Weifeng would be such a poisonous snake?!
He helped his son, Dong Lingxin spread the rumors, that I am a powerful formation master who is extremely rich!
Of course, the reason that he spread this word, was to make Wei Tai take note of this issue and force him to come to the 'Blue Forest city' and fight with me.
Who would expect that Wei Tai would cause a whole war instead, just to help Dong Lingyuan.
He sent a huge army of soldiers from his own kingdoms to attack and conquer the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', while he himself personally came to the 'Blue Forest city'.
The entire city turned into a battlefield, and soon, even the city lord's, Zhen Wang's army was destroyed and he himself was killed.
As for Wei Tai... hahaha!
That old shit came to our house and 'ordered' me to give up all my wealth if I wanted to live!
Of course, despite not wanting to fight him, I would never allow anyone to come to my house and trample over mine and your mother's head.
It doesn't matter whether that person is stronger than me or not, this is my own pride as a man and father, as well as a cultivator and a formation master.
Besides, our house was filled with more than just a few rank 3 bronze grade formations, so even with my cultivation being a minor realm lower than Wei Tai's, I was confident in fighting him off if we were inside our house.
Hehe, that old bastard indeed attacked us in the end, but not only was he unable to beat me, but he was the one to suffer instead.
Hehe, your old man was really strong kid!''
Shun Long didn't speak and just silently listened to Shun Fang's narration, who seemed to have wanted to say everything without holding back his emotions.
They were like a river that was bottled up the past few days, and upon seeing his son, they suddenly exploded like a broken dam.
Shun Long felt a stifling feeling in his heart when he saw the tears in his father's eyes, but he still let him finish his explanation
''Despite beating that old bastard, I was unable to kill him or even cause him any serious injuries. I just forced him to retreat!
2 days later however, that old fart returned and attacked our house again, but this time, he wasn't alone, but he brought with him 2 peak rank 1 Heaven grade cultivators as well!
After 6 hours, in the end, they managed to break through the formations around the estate, and captured both me and your mother.''
When he mentioned Shun An's situation, Shun Fang's emotions seemed to have reached their peak of anger and helplessness.
With a mocking look in his eyes, he then continued
''Originally, Wei Tai wanted to kill both me and your mother, but after hearing that our son is a cultivator in the 'Floating Cloud sect', he chose to cripple our cultivation instead before he ordered Dong Lingyuan to imprison us in the dungeon of the palace!
No matter what he said, it was obvious that he was actually afraid of a huge sect, as a cultivator without any backing.
As soon as they threw us in the dungeon, they tortured us along with the rest of the prisoners inside.
The people you saw imprisoned along with us, were all the supporters of the previous crown pr crown prince.
As for Dong Lingxin and his mother, the previous queen, hehe, they had a fate even worse than us!
When the guards tried to break everyone's spirit in the dungeons, they revealed everything.
They were hanged naked in front of the palace gates, for everyone who entered to see.''
As soon as he finished his words, Shun Fang turned his gaze towards Shun An, whose injuries were slowly healing while she was still unconscious.
And yet, an expression of pain appeared on his face when he looked at the wound in her abdomen, as well as his own.
Shun Long didn't say a word, but Little Black could clearly feel his anger and thirst for revenge.
The usually emotionless black dragon was also angry, but he didn't choose to speak either.
Under Shun Fang's stunned eyes, Shun Long first placed his hand on Shun An's back, injecting a gentle stream of qi inside her body that helped her wake up, before he raised his right hand in the air and slashed the void in front of him, opening a space tear more than 2m(6.6ft) long.
Without another word, Shun Long held both Shun Fang and Shun An, as he entered inside, once again appearing in the main hall of the palace!
.
313
.
Shun An who had just woken up and saw Shun Long supporting her and Shun Fang felt that she was dreaming again.
As she lowered her head to look at herself she noticed, that most of the injuries and whip marks seemed to have disappeared from her body, but her clothes were still tattered and the wound on her abdomen still hadn't closed.
The pain that she was feeling still hadn't disappeared, but Shun An's expression instantly turned into one of joy, as she looked at Shun Long and said in a voice filled with joy
''Long'er!''
However, as soon as she finished her words, Shun An felt her surroundings turning blurry, while the look in her eyes quickly turned into one of disbelief.
The moment that Shun Long who was carrying her and Shun Fang stepped inside the space tear in front of him, Shun Fang and Shun An found themselves in the main hall of the palace, where an even more shocking scene than what they had just experienced appeared in their eyes.
6 people were surrounded by a group of jade-white skeletons, while 3 of them were on the ground bleeding and crying out in pain, as the skeletons' bony white-swords had pierced their thighs.
Both Shun Fang and Shun An didn't know how to react when they saw the moving skeletons that moved like they were actually alive, before their eyes turned to look at the people inside the hall.
Seeing the terrified expression on Wei Tai's as well as the 2 middle-aged men's, Zhu Zan's and Zhu Heng's faces, who were all bleeding on the ground while surrounded by the jade-white skeletons, Shun Fang could feel his body trembling.
It was these 3 people who had crippled his and his wife's cultivation.
Unknowingly, Shun Fang's eyes looked past these 3 people, and saw Dong Weifeng, his son, the third prince of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', Dong Lingyuan, as well as a young woman in a red dress who was hugging Dong Lingyuan's left arm, all trembling in fear as they stared at the terrifying white skeletons in front of them.
At the same time, Shun Fang and Shun An both also saw a gorgeous young woman with long black hair and white robes, whose face seemed to have come directly out of a portrait walking towards them.
Liu Mei walked next to Shun Long, and without saying a word, she simply stared at Zhu Zan, Zhu Heng and Wei Tai who were wreathing in pain with a cold look in her eyes.
As soon as Shun Long and Zeng Cui had left the palace hall to go to the dungeons, these 3 had ignored Liu Mei, and did their best to escape from the hall at the same time.
After all, they knew, that if they waited for Shun Long to return, their chances of leaving alive were practically zero.
Seeing the 3 'Heaven grade experts' who were flying towards her, Liu Mei hadn't even moved, and she simply ordered 3 of her skeletons to capture each of them.
Who could expect the skeletons in front of that woman to be so strong that they had effortlessly subdued 3 Heaven grade experts in the blink of an eye?!
Seeing Shun Long appear inside the hall out of nowhere, with Shun Fang and Shun An by his side, and that terrifying white-robed young woman now standing next to him, Wei Tai's, Zhu Zan's and Zhu Heng's expressions had instantly turned pale.
They could feel the terrifying aura coming from Shun Long's body. that was like an angry magic beast that was no longer holding back.
Shun Long's cold eyes surveyed everyone inside the hall, before his gaze soon landed on Wei Tai, as he then walked towards him without any hesitation.
The early rank 2 Heaven grade expert felt fear gripping his heart, and ignoring the pain from the bony white sword that was stabbed in his thigh, he hurriedly stepped backwards.
Looking at Shun Long who was still walking towards him, Wei Tai then shouted in a voice filled with fear
''Wait.''
''Wait!''
''WAIT!!''
Looking around the hall for someone to help him, Wei Tai's gaze was quickly focused on the blonde young man behind him while his eyes finally lit up.
Looking at Dong Lingyuan whose expression had instantly turned ashen as soon as he met his eyes, Wei Tai pointed at the blonde-haired man and said
''Everything happened because of him! He is the one who seduced my daughter and told me about your parents' wealth!
Even if you want to take revenge, he is the true mastermind!''
''Daddy...'' The red-dressed young woman next to Dong Lingyuan had a complicated expression on her face, when suddenly, she felt her body losing her balance and flying forward, almost as if she had been pushed by someone.
Turning her head around in disbelief, Wei Yi saw Dong Lingyuan's resolute face, as the third prince of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' pointed towards Wei Tai and shouted in an angry voice
''LIAR! It's because your daughter seduced me that I was unable to understand what was going on until now! She is a witch! A succubus! You killed my elder brother and even the queen of our kingdom was humiliated and died by your hands!
Shameless old man, you deserve death!''
Turning his gaze to look at Shun Long, Dong Lingyuan instantly knelt on the floor and spoke with tears in his eyes
''Elder brother Shun, please punish these people for the harm that they have caused to our kingdom and your family! I must have been blind to not notice this until now!''
Everyone inside the hall, including Dong Weifeng, Wei Tai, the red-dressed young woman called Wei Yi, the 2 rank 1 Heaven grade experts, Zhu Zan and Zhu Heng, Shun Fang and Shun An, and even Liu Mei, were all speechless when they heard Dong Lingyuan.
How shameless did this person have to be to suddenly try and change sides at this moment?
Tears had appeared in Wei Yi's eyes as she shouted
''Big brother Lingyuan!''
Even Shun Long was stunned for a moment, but his footsteps didn't slow down as he arrived in front of the stunned Wei Tai.
Looking at Dong Lingyuan, Wei Tai had the urge to vomit blood from anger, and pointing at him with his finger, the early rank 2 Heaven grade expert shouted angrily
''YOU LIA-''
Before he could properly finish his words however, Wei Tai's voice was cut short, as he felt his throat being grabbed by an iron-like grip that raised his entire body in the air.
Shun Long's eyes didn't hold the slightest bit of mercy inside them as he looked at the old man who had crippled his parents.
Without wasting any words, under Wei Tai's terrified eyes, Shun Long clenched his right hand with all of his strength, instantly snapping the early rank 2 Heaven grade expert's neck.
Crackk!
The sounds of bones breaking resounded in the palace hall, and under everyone's terrified eyes, the early rank 2 Heaven grade expert slumped on the ground as he lost his life.
''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!''
.
314
.
The red-dressed woman, Wei Yi shouted when she saw her father falling on the ground, while her eyes were filled with tears when she realized what had happened.
She first turned to look at Dong Lingyuan with a look of hate in her eyes, before she turned her attention to Shun Long.
Taking out a small bronze dagger from her waist, she rushed towards him and shouted
''DIEE!''
Shun Long had a cold look in his eyes as he looked at Wei Yi who had the aura of an early-stage earth grade cultivator and was running towards him.
The fact that she was a woman or that she was in love with Dong Lingyuan and most likely was being used, didn't change the fact that she was also the prime reason that had caused everything in the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' to be ruined.
An entire kingdom was destroyed, villages and cities were pillaged, and even the 'Blue Forest city' had turned into a city of death, where only Wei Tai's soldiers were present, all because of this woman in front of him.
Only the imperial city still had some survivors hiding inside their houses, but the number of dead people inside the kingdom had already exceeded half the kingdom's original population.
Seeing Wei Yi running at Shun Long so angrily, anger had also appeared in Liu Mei's face, while an azure sword had also appeared in her hands.
Shun Long however simply shook his head in response.
This was something that he was going to take care of by himself.
This was justice for his parents that only he could personally enact in front of them, to soothe the aggrieved feeling in their hearts.
Taking a step forward, Shun Long clenched his right fist tightly, before he sent a full-powered punch towards the incoming Wei Yi.
Air crackled and even the space around Shun Long's fist was distorted, as his fist met with Wei Yi's dagger head-on.
Under Wei Yi's, Zhu Zan's and Zhu Heng's horrified eyes, the peak rank 3 bronze grade dagger shattered into pieces after meeting that terrifying punch, before Shun Long's full-powered fist continued to fly towards Wei Yi's head.
A shower of blood covered the 4 people who were standing behind Wei Yi, as her head exploded in an instant, dying Dong Lingyuan's and the rest's robes red.
Without the slightest hint of mercy or pity in his eyes, Shun Long had killed Wei Yi, before he turned his eyes towards Dong Lingyuan.
The fear in Dong Lingyuan's eyes couldn't be concealed when he saw Shun Long walking towards him, and stepping back hurriedly he said in an anxious tone
''Brother Shun, what are you trying to do?''
Taking a look around him, Dong Lingyuan's eyes soon landed on Zhu Zan and Zhu Heng who were slowly backing away before he said hurriedly
''Right! Brother Shun, those people also helped Wei Tai when he crippled your fathe-''
Before he could finish his words, Dong Lingyuan's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets while a feeling of despair suddenly overcame him.
Shun Long's hand had instantly pierced through his chest, tightly holding Dong Lingyuan's beating heart with his right hand.
Ignoring the terrified expression that had appeared on the third prince's face, Shun Long clenched his hand tightly, and a loud popping sound resounded throughout the entire palace hall, bringing endless terror to everyone who heard it.
Retracting his arm, Shun Long wiped the dripping blood on Dong Lingyuan's robes, before he allowed him to fall on the ground.
An expression of horror had appeared on the third prince's face, as his body slowly fell backwards.
Shun Long was a monster! A heartless monster without any emotions!
Turning his eyes towards Dong Weifeng, Shun Long was surprised to see that the so-called dignified king of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' didn't care about his son's death in the slightest.
Instead, he seemed to be somewhat relieved after seeing Dong Lingyuan dying. However, the moment he felt Shun Long's gaze landing on him, fear that his turn was about to come instantly overcame him.
And yet, Shun Long seemed to have ignored DDong Weifeng, as he slowly walked towards Zhu Zan and Zhu Heng.
Despair filled the 2 Heaven grade experts' hearts when they saw this monster in blue robes walking towards them with a serious expression on his face.
It seemed as if the deaths of Wei Yi, Dong Lingyuan and Wei Tai hadn't pacified him in the least.
Zhu Zan was the first one to go down on his knees, hoping that he could still change this situation as he said seriously
''Let me live! I will give you everything you want!
I have 3 kingdoms!
You can become king!
No, I can help you become the king of this island! Women, gold, fame, power, everything will be yours!''
Shaking his head, Shun Long then spoke in a voice that wouldn't compromise no matter what Zhu Zan was willing to offer
''You should have helped yourself by not getting involved in this. If it wasn't for you two helping Wei Tai, how could my father and mother be crippled today?
As for women, gold, fame and power? Do I need someone like you to help me get them?''
Zhu Zan felt anger and despair rising in his heart.
He wanted to argue that since they were stronger than Shun Fang, then it was only natural for him to suffer under their hands, but he knew that this argument was useless.
Zhu Heng looked at Zhu Zan, and nodding his head, they both lunged towards Shun Long at the same time.
If they were going to die, they were at least going to make sure that Shun Long would suffer as well.
With a cold look in his eyes, Shun Long first turned his head around to look at his parents and make sure that they were watching, before he punched forward with each arm.
The 2 peak rank 1 Heaven grade experts, Zhu Zan and Zhu Heng were both sent flying at the same time, until they crashed at the wall of the palace hall and fell on the ground.
Shun Long's terrifying punch had completely crushed the 2 Heaven grade experts' chests, who lifelessly slid down on the ground, arriving in front of Dong Weifeng.
The 2 Heaven grade experts who were similar to Wei Tai in strength and influence, the kings who ruled 3 kingdoms each in the mortal world, existences that Dong Weifeng could only look up to, ended up landed in front of his feet as they died.
Involuntarily raising his head, Dong Weifeng shivered when his gaze met with Shun Long's cold eyes that were staring back at him.
.
.
315
.
Dong Weifeng's pupils contracted while his body shivered as soon as his eyes met Shun Long's cold gaze.
Shun Long's black eyes were still emitting killing intent, even when Dong Weifeng was the only 'enemy' left inside the main hall.
Understanding that he was about to die, the king of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' abandoned any notion of pride left, and hurriedly fell on his knees.
However, he wasn't dumb enough to beg Shun Long, and instead, his gaze fell on Shun Fang, as he spoke with tears in his eyes
''Brother Shun, please forgive me! I know what I have done wrong.
I shouldn't have let my son, no, that unfilial bastard to spread the word about you!
I know that I don't deserve any forgiveness, but I have already lost 2 sons and 2 wives, please don't kill me!''
Shun Long frowned when he heard Dong Weifeng's words, while his eyes narrowed.
No matter what excuse Dong Weifeng used, the truth was, that not only did he allow Dong Lingxin to spread Shun Fang's name, but he did everything he could to force him to fight against Wei Tai even when it meant risking his life.
And now he was asking for forgiveness?
Shun Fang also shook his head, and without the slightest hint of pity in his eyes, he looked at the kneeling Dong Weifeng and spoke coldly
''Hehe, if it was just me that you had hurt, I could allow you to leave today after crippling your cultivation!
After all, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
However, not only did you choose to torture us after sending us in your dungeon, but you were also the cause that my wife's cultivation was crippled as well!
Don't bother to ask for forgiveness, since you are the one who deserves to die the most out of everyone else!''
Horror filled Dong Weifeng's heart when he heard Shun Fang's words.
After all, this was no different than sentencing him to death!
Shun Long seemed to have hated him to begin with, and now Shun Fang's words seemed to have extinguished his final hope.
Dong Weifeng's expression quickly changed into one of madness, but before he could utter another word, Shun Long had already disappeared from his original spot after using the 'Gale Steps' and instantly appeared in front of Dong Weifeng.
An illusionary purple-colored blade had appeared on his right hand, and looking at the anxious king of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' in front of him, Shun Long slashed his blade horizontally towards Dong Weifeng's neck!
If the dancer girls hadn't already passed out from fear in a corner of the room, they would have witnessed a once in a lifetime scene.
The 'Sky Fortune Kingdom's' king's head was separated from his body as it flew through the air, leaving behind a fountain of blood that dyed the main hall of the palace red!
As soon as Shun Fang saw the scene in front of his eyes, a sense of gratification and a feeling of relief overcame his heart, as well as a feeling of weakness!
He felt relief that his son had saved him and Shun An, and he also felt gratified that Shun Long was strong enough to take revenge for his parents by himself, but he also felt weak after having his cultivation crippled!
He had trained since he was 13 years old like every other kid in the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', and he had slowly risen above everyone else and stood at the top of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' as a peak rank 3 bronze grade formation master and a peak rank 9 earth grade expert.
And yet, he seemed to have lost all of his power overnight due to Dong Weifeng's schemes and the inner fights of the royal family.
However, seeing his son being strong enough to take revenge for him was enough to put a smile on Shun Fang's face.
Shun An seemed to have felt Shun Fang's turbulent emotions, and holding Shun Fang's hand she said
''It's not too bad! At least we are still alive! If Long'er didn't come in time, perhaps we would have already turned into a pile of corpses by now!''
Shun Fang nodded his head, and held his wife's hand without saying a word, before their eyes both fell on Shun Long and Liu Mei.
Shun Long's expression was still serious, as he summoned Little Silver from the 'Stone of Time', and allowed Shun Fang and Shun An to sit on its back.
Without paying any more attention to the royal palace, he and Liu Mei sat on Little Silver's back as well, as he left the imperial city.
Shun Long had already heard that Dong Weifeng also had a daughter, but he wouldn't personally go and look for her in order to kill her.
With Wei Tai inside the palace, he didn't even know whether Dong Weifeng would have kept his daughter there or sent her somewhere far away.
As for the wealth of the royal palace and the situation of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', these were also things that Shun Long didn't care about either.
As a mortal kingdom, it was impossible for the royal family to have anything else other than low-quality gold and silver in their treasury.
After all, low-grade spirit stones were a rare commodity that only Heaven grade experts used in the 'Floating Cloud sect'.
As for the situation of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', this had already taken an unrecoverable turn for the worse even before Shun Long had killed Dong Weifeng and Dong Lingyuan.
On the way to the 'Blue Forest city', Shun Long had already seen Wei Tai's army pillaging villages and cities of the kingdom, practically destroying everything in their paths.
The 'Sky Fortune Kingdom's' army was already destroyed, and the kingdom's sovereignty lied in Wei Tai's hands.
Aside from the imperial city where the citizens were all holed up inside their homes, every other city in the kingdom was completely destroyed.
Shun Long was certain that it wouldn't take long for the rest of the citizens of the imperial city to start moving towards one of the nearby kingdoms, since the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' would soon become the territory for another war to start, as the kingdoms around it would start fighting over its land.
Leaving the imperial city, Shun Long also expected the dancer girls and everyone else inside the palace to start spreading the news of Wei Tai's and the Zhu brothers' deaths very soon.
This would make the kingdoms that were previously under Wei Tai's, Zhu Zan's and Zhu Heng's control, to be fought over by the other Heaven grade cultivators around them.
After all, Shun Long knew, that Wei Tai, Zhu Zan and Zhu Heng weren't the only Heaven grade experts in this island of the 'Mortal world'. Now that they were dead, their territories will certainly be split up, and even their own families and their confidantes would have to escape.
...
It only took a few moments for the black panther to cross the distance from the imperial capital and arrive in the sky of the 'Blue Forest city'.
In the time that Shun Long ttook to go to the imperial palace and kill Wei Tai and the rest, Zhu Zan's and Zhu Heng's army had already escaped from the city when the rumors of the 'Heaven grade expert', Shun Long had started to spread.
However, almost all of the original inhabitants of the city had already been massacred, making the 'Blue Forest city' a city of death.
Arriving in the sky above the already destroyed Shun estate, Shun Long saw the disheartened Shun Fang and Shun An holding his hand, as they looked at the rubble of what was left of their original home.
With a serious expression in his eyes, Shun Long looked at his parents who were still staring at the wreckage below them before he said
''Father, mother, do you want to come with me and Mei'er to the 'Cultivation world'?''
.
316
.
''Father, mother, do you want to come with me to the 'Cultivation world'? You don't have any more reason to stay here. Our house is destroyed and the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' itself will be abandoned before another war starts over its territory.''
Turning his head to look at Liu Mei, Shun Long finally smiled lightly for the first time since he arrived in the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', and holding her hand he looked at his parents and said
''This is my wife, Mei'er. She and I have been together for almost a year. If you come with us, we can travel the world together!''
There was a gleam in Shun Long's eyes as he looked at Shun Fang and Shun An.
Originally, he wouldn't have minded letting his parents live in the 'Mortal world'.
After all, Shun Fang was certainly strong enough to protect himself and Shun An against almost any threat in this place.
Who could expect that things would really take such a turn for the worst due to Dong Weifeng and his son?
However, this was also a chance in itself.
If Shun Long could have his parents travel with him, he could ensure their safety in the future.
Additionally, Shun Long knew that right now, it was impossible for him to help his parents with their cultivation now that their dantians had been destroyed, but it wasn't impossible in the future.
If he had his parents with him, he would be able to help them recover their cultivation as soon as he found the necessary medicinal ingredients that he needed.
As Shun Long waited for their answer, he saw Shun Fang and Shun An watching Liu Mei with bright eyes.
If one judged her simply based on her outer appearance, there was indeed nothing to criticize about her.
She was a gorgeous and yet reserved young woman, who didn't let many of her feelings show to her face. This was most likely part of her character and not Liu Mei intentionally suppressing herself in front of them... Shun Fang thought as he kept examining his daughter-in-law!
Liu Mei's face turned somewhat red as she wasn't used to this, and looking at Shun Fang and Shun An who were staring at her with zeal in their eyes, she bowed and greeted them politely
''Father-in-law, mother-in-law!''
''HAHAHA! Long'er! Your father is proud of you! You finally have a wife!''
Although Shun Fang's words were few, they expressed exactly what he wanted to say. He was very satisfied with his daughter's-in-law manners, appearance and strength.
After all, both he and Shun An had seen Liu Mei summon her white skeletons that had completely suppressed Wei Tai and the rest to the point that they were just one step away from death.
''And it's one who's much gentler and polite than that Lin girl.''
As she finished speaking, Shun An held Liu Mei's hands and looked at her daughter-in-law with a gentle smile on her face and a satisfied look in her eyes.
At the same time, Shun Long smiled before his eyes fell on Shun Fang as he waited for his answer.
Turning his head to look at his son, Shun Fang however shook his head before he declined Shun Long's prior offer without any hesitation
''Long'er, your mother and I will both stay in the 'Mortal world'!''
Shun Fang's answer was actually completely different to what Shun Long had expected.
Since their Shun estate was destroyed and his father's and mother's cultivation was crippled, wouldn't that mean that they were even weaker than normal people?
After all, even most children in the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' started to train their qi at the age of 13, and Shun Long knew that the other kingdoms weren't any different.
Looking like he had guessed Shun Long's thoughts, Shun Fang had a bright smile on his face as he patted Shun Long's shoulder and said
''Long'er, if I wanted to enter the 'Cultivation world', I would have long since joined the 'Floating Cloud sect'. Even if I didn't become an inner disciple, I would have at least become a normal Elder by now.
However, entering the 'Cultivation world' was neither mine nor your mother's goal.
Choosing to live a sisimple life, without any worries, away from the strifes of cultivators in the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', was what we were originally planning.
However, even without the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', there are other kingdoms where we can go and meet new people.
We can also have a fresh start and won't have people to rely on me being a Heaven grade expert to help them.
Going with you to the 'Cultivation world'? Aside from being a burden to our son, what else would we do there?''
Seeing that Shun Long wasn't entirely convinced, inside the 'Stone of Time', Little Black nodded his head as he said to Shun Long
''Master, Shun Fang is right. Although their cultivation was destroyed, they can still live their lives.
However, if they followed master in the 'Cultivation world', they would then feel hopeless and weak.
Although master's parents suffered, they can certainly start a new life, away from the war of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' now and travel to a new place.''
Shun Long shook his head when he heard Little Black's words.
How could he have not thought about these things by himself already?
However, leaving his parents without any protection was still an unpleasant feeling.
For a moment Shun Long even thought of taming a rank 4 magic beast to protect Shun Fang and Shun An, but that would still go against Shun Fang's wishes of living a simple life.
After all, no matter what, a rank 4 magic beast would certainly make every single Heaven grade expert in this mortal island afraid.
Even the sect master of the 'Floating Cloud sect', Liu Jian, wasn't certain if he could fight an early rank 4 magic beast head-on.
Without another word, Shun Fang walked through the Shun estate and gathered some of his personal belongings in a small chest, along with some gold and silver, before he once again sat on Little Silver's back.

It was the 'Roaring Waves Kingdom'.
