Chapter 825

Liu Mei and the others were all taken aback when they heard this, as they stared at the Northern Sovereign with serious looks on their faces.

It was clear that the Northern Sovereign wasn’t going to give any leeway to Jiang Tianfang if he refused to give her the information about the ‘Heavenly purity pill’.

And yet, even when he was faced against an expert like the Northern Sovereign, Jiang Tianfang had a determined look as he chose to remain silent.

After waiting for nearly a minute, a burst of suffocating killing intent erupted from the Northern Sovereign’s body, while her aura at the peak of rank 9 in the Sovereign realm exploded outwards as well, immediately covering the entire ‘Southern dragon’s courtyard’.

Staring at Jiang Tianfang who was calmly standing in front of her, the Northern Sovereign narrowed her eyes while her luxurious silver robes fluttered with the wind as she continued 

”Jiang Tianfang, don’t force my hand. This is your last chance!”

Seeing that Jiang Tianfang refused to speak, the Northern Sovereign truly got angry as she snorted and was about to make her move.

At that moment however, just as the Northern Sovereign raised her right hand and seemed like she was about to attack, Shun Long took a step forward and stared at her with a deep look in his eyes before he spoke in a calm manner

”The name of the pill is the ‘Heavenly purity pill’. As for the medicinal herbs needed, the main medicinal herb is the rank 7 ‘Golden light flower’ while the supplementary herbs include more than a dozen rank 5 and rank 6 herbs. I wonder if senior is satisfied with this information.”

The Northern Sovereign’s hand suddenly froze mid-air as she turned around and looked at Shun Long with a look of unconcealed surprise on her face, before she asked curiously

”Shun Long, you mean to tell me that the recipe of that pill belongs to you and not Jiang Tianfang?”

Shun Long nodded his head and said calmly

”Indeed, the ‘Heavenly purity pill’ is mine. Does senior still want the recipe for it?”

Shun Long could clearly feel the Northern Sovereign’s terrifying aura and the killing intent that was coming from her body that had yet to fully recede, and yet he still faced the Northern Sovereign realm expert in front of him as he asked this question.

After a few moments of silence, the Northern Sovereign waved her hand and said in a dismissive manner

”So be it then. Since the pill recipe belongs to you, I won’t force you to hand it over.”

Jiang Tianfang heaved out a sigh of relief inwardly when he heard this. After all, he would have truly felt guilty if Shun Long ended up losing the pill recipe of such a valuable pill because of him.

However, Jiang Chen and the others didn’t seem to feel any gratitude towards the Northern Sovereign, as they all looked at her with cold looks on their faces.

This was the first time that the Northern Sovereign showed such a cruel and heartless side of hers in front of them, and Jiang Chen and the others were all certain that at that moment, the Northern Sovereign was really about to attack Jiang Tianfang.

And yet, the Northern Sovereign merely threw a glance at Jiang Chen and the others, her gaze lingering on Liu Mei for a few seconds longer, before she turned her gaze towards Shun Long and asked calmly

”Shun Long, are you planning to enter seclusion again or are you going to go to the ‘City of Immortals’? Remember that this is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you so it’s better for you to not waste it!”

Nodding his head, Shun Long cupped his hands at the Northern Sovereign and said calmly

”Thank you for your concern senior. There is nothing left for us to do here, so we are going to leave the city today. Thank you for your hospitality during the past year!”

The Northern Sovereign seemed to have detected some hints of unhappiness from Shun Long’s voice but she still shook her head and answered calmly

”There is no need for thanks. Since you are planning to leave the city today, you can travel alongside Quan Lin who is also heading towards the ‘City of Immortals’!”

Shun Long stared at the Northern Sovereign in silence but he didn’t refuse her offer to go with Quan Lin, causing a smile to form itself on the Northern Sovereign’s lips.

A few moments soon passed before the figure of the silver-armored Quan Lin appeared outside the ‘Southern dragon’s courtyard’, as Quan Lin called out in a respectful voice

”City lord, did you call for me?”

A moment later, the gates of the ‘Southern dragon’s courtyard’ opened by themselves, allowing Quan Lin to get a good look at the Northern Sovereign’s figure who was standing a few meters away from Shun Long and the others.

The Northern Sovereign glanced at Quan Lin calmly before she said

”Quan Lin, lead the way for Shun Long and his group. You will leave for the ‘City of Immortals’ today.” The Northern Sovereign then turned her gaze towards Shun Long and continued with a smile

”Shun Long, I have to admit that you are not only talented but quite mysterious as well, since even I can’t see through all of your secrets. You have definitely attracted my attention. However, I am sure that after you visit the ‘City of Immortals’, you will change your mind about joining the Tianxuan dynasty or the other top powers in the central region. Just remember… that there will always be a spot for you in my ‘Northern Sovereign’s city’!”

The Northern Sovereign stared at Shun Long silently for a few more moments after she said this, before her figure disappeared from the courtyard.
