Monarch Of Time Chapter 740 - 740 The Northern Sovereign's Promise

Chapter 740 - 740 The Northern Sovereign's Promise

Senior Feng and the surrounding experts all stared at the Northern Sovereign with curious looks in their eyes, but they could also feel that something was wrong.

If the Northern Sovereign had been the one to get her hands on the golden skeleton, why would she be staring at the bronze throne with a dumbfounded look like that?

''Could it be that she is trying to feign ignorance? Hmph! Is she taking us for fools?''

Senior Feng snorted inwardly as he took a step forward and arrived in front of the Northern Sovereign almost instantly, before he said with a calm look on his face

''Northern Sovereign, congratulations on obtaining the golden skeleton.

Unfortunately, I have to say that even though you are the Sovereign responsible for the northern part of the central region, you should understand that the golden skeleton isn't something you can keep for yourself.''

The Northern Sovereign seemed to have returned back to her senses the moment she heard 'senior Feng's' voice, as she stared at him and immediately understood what was going on, before a cold smile was formed on her lips.

'Senior Feng' nodded his head once he saw that he had the Northern Sovereign's attention, before he continued with a slightly gentler tone

''Northern Sovereign, if you choose to hand over the golden skeleton to my lord, I can promise you that my lord will not mistreat you. I can tell you that the rewards you will receive will even exceed what the Tianhuan dynasty will be willing to give you by many times!''

The surrounding experts all stared at the red-haired 'Senior Feng' silently, while looks of envy had appeared in their eyes.

Those experts knew that even the Northern Sovereign wouldn't be able to keep the golden skeleton for herself, but a reward from 'old freak Gao' in exchange for the skeleton's figure wasn't going to be something small and was most likely worth it.

And yet, contrary to the expectations of Senior Feng the rest of the surrounding experts around her, the Northern Sovereign shook her head, and with her gaze focused on Shun Long who was sitting cross-legged on the ground she said calmly

''Unfortunately, I am not the one who managed to get the golden skeleton. Most likely it's in the hands of that kid over there.''

Senior Feng, young lady Niu, the Grand Elder, and the surrounding experts all stared at the Northern Sovereign with surprised looks, before they quickly turned their attention towards Shun Long as well.

Seeing how peacefully Shun Long was sitting cross-legged and had already begun his breakthrough, the surrounding experts all felt the urge to step forward and kill him to take the golden skeleton for themselves, but considering that the Northern Sovereign had yet to make her move, none of those experts dared to move either.

''Senior... please, wait until that brat finishes his breakthrough and allow me to talk to him. I will definitely make him hand over the golden skeleton to senior. Please give some face to my Holy sect and don't kill him!'' The Grand Elder took a step forward and appeared right next to the Northern Sovereign before he cupped his hands and said in a pleading voice.

Although the Northern Sovereign and the surrounding experts all wanted the golden skeleton, the Grand Elder's attention was fully focused on Shun Long who had actually survived his Heavenly Tribulation.

The Grand Elder had never expected that Shun Long would actually be alive right now!

In the Grand Elder's eyes, Shun Long was the biggest treasure he could hope for and he was going to do everything he could to keep him alive!

As for the golden skeleton, the Grand Elder knew that his Holy sect had no chance to keep it and was more than content in giving it up.

Even an expert like the Northern Sovereign wouldn't have a chance to keep it for herself, let alone his Holy sect.

The Grand Elder didn't know why Shun Long had done something so foolish as to try and steal the golden skeleton, but it didn't matter either.

As long as they handed it over to the Northern Sovereign, everything would be fine.

The Northern Sovereign's eyes lit up when she heard the Grand Elder's words, as she threw another look at Shun Long who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, before she nodded her head seriously.

No matter what, Shun Long had just created that terrifying Heavenly Tribulation and had even survived from it. This was tantamount to his talent. Unless there was no other way, the Northern Sovereign wasn't willing to kill him either.

Nodding her head, the Northern Sovereign answered seriously

''Indeed, as long as that kid isn't stubborn and is willing to hand over the golden skeleton, I can even take him under my wing and allow him to train in the Northern Sovereign city.

But of course, if he declines... you can't blame me for what's about to happen!''

The Grand Elder's eyes lit up as he nodded his head and cupped his hands in grat.i.tude before he said respectfully

''Many thanks to senior!''

To the Grand Elder, Shun Long was no different from a personal disciple. Training under the Northern Sovereign would not only be beneficial for him, but it could even elevate the status of the Holy sect as a whole.

After all, the Grand Elder clearly knew about the power behind the Northern Sovereign!

Even with just the status of an outer court disciple in the Holy sect, with the talent that he had displayed today through his Heavenly Tribulation, the Grand Elder knew that it was only a matter of time until the powerful forces of the central region sent people to approach Shun Long.

Some of them may even try to take him away from the Holy sect, but the power behind the Northern Sovereign was an entirely different matter.

Meanwhile, Senior Feng wasn't surprised by this sudden turn of events.

Although Shun Long seemed to have gotten his hands on the golden skeleton's figure, such an action was completely meaningless.

It didn't matter if the golden skeleton was in Shun Long's hands or in anyone else's for that matter, as there was no way that the Northern Sovereign would allow that person to leave the King's Palace with it.

As the strongest person inside the King's Palace right now, the golden skeleton could be considered to already be in the Northern Sovereign's hands.

The only thing 'Senior Feng' could do right now, was try to win the Northern Sovereign over.
