Chapter 200: Gathering in the Heaven's Dome city

Pain and anger had colored Su Shanyuan's face, as he stared at the beautiful woman who was engulfed in his hailstorm.

Although he was reluctant, he still stopped the hailstorm in the end.

Since Yi Mingzhu had already given up, it was against the rules to continue attacking her, otherwise, he would be punished by the rules of the House of Rankings.

As the blizzard around Yi Mingzhu receded, the beautiful red-haired princess of the Dark elf race was now covered in a layer of frost.

And yet, it only took a wave of her hand, for the ice around her body to disperse.

Her purple eyes didn't seem to care about anything else, as she stared in disappointment at the young man in front of her.

Su Shanyuan was furious when he saw the disappointed look on Yi Mingzhu's face, as he then roared in his heart

''Bitch! Are you really disappointed that you didn't manage to kill me?''

And yet, Yi Mingzhu clearly understood, that since she had failed to kill Su Shanyuan with her second dagger, or at least seriously injure him, she wouldn't stand a chance against him with her early rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

After all, she was more than familiar with Su Shanyuan's fighting style and knew his own strength and weaknesses, just as she did know her own.

Without a word, the red-haired princess of the dark elves turned around, as she left the Ranking Gate.

A moment later, she appeared in the hall of the House of Rankings, and soon the respectful gazes of the crowd, she slowly walked towards the entrance.

No one dared to mock her for giving up against Su Shanyuan.

After all, although she was the one who had issued the challenge, with her lower cultivation, she had still managed to injure the genius who was ranked in the top 150 of the House's rankings.

When Su Shanyuan appeared from the Ranking Gate, there was a gloomy look in his eyes, as he looked at the back of the woman who had refused to spare him a second glance.

Seeing that Yi Mingzhu was leaving, Su Shanyuan didn't choose to stay in this place either, allowing the people around him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone then started discussing the ranking battle that had just taken place, when Shun Long decided to leave the House of Rankings as well.

Since he couldn't participate in the battles just yet, it was pointless for him to stay here any longer.

He and Liu Mei then both got on the black panther, as they left the House of Rankings.

After touring through the western part of the city, Shun Long and Liu Mei had arrived in front of a large inn, called the 'Golden Pig inn'.

It seemed that this inn also belonged to the 'Golden Exchange firm' as well.

Since they had been looking for an inn anyway, Shun Long paid 9000 low-grade spirit stones to rent a medium-sized courtyard for 3 months.

At the same time that Shun Long and Liu Mei had entered the room in their courtyard however, inside a palace situated at the northern part of the Heaven's Dome city, in a secluded room that no one dared to approach, an important discussion that involved the future of the entire Night Star continent was now taking place.

This was the palace of one of the peak powers in the Heaven's Dome city, the royal family of the Shengtian dynasty.

10 people were gathered around a large, circular table made of wood, as they solemnly stared at each other.

At the head of the table, an old man who had nearly no hair left on his head was sitting there with his eyes closed. However, although this old man looked like he was at the end of his life, the terrifying pressure that was coming from his body could scare senseless any ordinary Dao King.

This man was the previous king of the Shengtian dynasty, Sheng Jun.

On his right, a woman who seemed to be in her late 50s was seated, as she looked at everyone around her with a solemn look in her eyes. This woman was the previous queen of the Shengtian dynasty, Sheng Jun's wife, Qiao Lifen.

Aside from the 2 previous rulers of the Shengtian dynasty, 2 high-ranking members from each of the other 4 peak powers of the Heaven's Dome city, were also seated in front of this table.

2 old men dressed in the golden robes of the 'Alchemists' Guild', were also seated on the table, next to the old king of the Shengtian dynasty. Shun Long hadn't met these 2 old men in the 'Alchemists' guild' earlier, but he had already heard about them from Jin Wenling and the other Elders. These 2 were the only rank 3 gold grade alchemists in the 'Alchemists' Association'.

Next to these old men, were a pair of stunning women, in their early 40s.

The 2 women had dark skin and pointy ears, as well as blackish red hair. Their exquisite faces would draw attention everywhere they went, while their alluring, perfectly shaped bodies could invoke a man's deepest and darkest desires.

A middle-aged man and an old woman from the 'Mercenaries' Association' were also present, along with 2 men from the 'Golden Exchange firm'.

Everyone had a serious look in their eyes, as they all stared at the previous king of the Shengtian dynasty.

Sheng Jun opened his eyes, and a whole new world seemed to have opened along with them.

Looking at the people around him, the old man took a deep breath as he said with a serious look in his eyes

''We have less than 3 years left. I have already spoken to the other peak experts in our Night star continent, and I can tell you, that no one of them is confident.

Everything will depend on the younger generation of our Night star continent from now on.

The white lord will send his son to the Heaven's Dome city within the next 3 months, and the same goes for many other peak experts, who have decided to send their descendants here.

I have also heard, that the Martial star continent is doing something similar as well.

This is the only way for our Night star continent to survive against the Demon Emperor Palace!''
