Staring at the distant 'Night star continent' that was now less than a day away, Shun Long sent Little Black back into the foggy space in the 'Stone of Ti', before continuing the rest of the journey without him.
Although there were no Dao Emperors or Sovereign realm experts in the 'Night star continent', nor was there anyone who could possibly threaten the black dragon's existence, Shun Long wasn't willing to expose Little Black just yet.
After all, there were certain powers in the continent like the 'Alchemists Guild' or the 'rcenaries Association' who had so connections with a few powers from the central continent.
Although those powers were most likely second or even third-tier ones, Shun Long didn't want to attract any of their attention towards the 'Night star continent'.
...
After traveling for more than half a day, Shun Long and his group finally stopped above a small city by the shore of the continent.
This city wasn't overly impressive, and was in fact, much smaller than the likes of the Heaven's Do city at the heart of the 'Night star continent', but there was one thing that eventually attracted Shun Long's attention.
It was the shape of the city itself that resembled a giant shield, as well as the soft golden glow around its edges. It was obvious that this golden glow ca from the countless protective formations around the city's walls, making the entire place resemble a gigantic golden shield.
''Golden Shield city.''
In the next mont, Shun Long's lips curved into a faint smile as he sent his soul sense into the 'Stone of Ti' and retrieved an ordinary-looking token that he had almost forgotten he still had.
The small wooden token had the word 'Cui' carved on both its front and back, and although it looked ordinary at first glance, Shun Long could tell that it had been crafted by at least a gold-grade formation master.
Of course, this was the sa token Shun Long had obtained from Cui Guoliang after rescuing him from the depths of the 'Dragon Lord's villa'!
The Dao King who had created the 'Vermilion realm' in the Desolate East had told Shun Long to visit him and his wife in the Cui clan of the 'Golden Shield city' if he ever found himself there, as Cui Guoliang was definitely going to host a banquet for him.
Unfortunately, Shun Long wasn't planning on wasting any more ti in the 'Night star continent' right now and was going to head straight for the Desolate East.
As soon as they arrived in the skies above the 'Golden Shield city' however, Bai Longtian was the first one to step forward and turn his gaze towards the south of the continent, before he looked at Shun Long and said
''Brother Shun, 'White city' is just a few thousand kiloters from here. I'm going to visit my father first and spend so ti with him until we return to the central continent. You can find in the white palace when it's ti to go back.''
Bai Longtian then said his farewells to Liu i and Xingyi as well, before his figure turned into a blur as he shot towards the south of the 'Night star continent'.
In just a few monts, it was only Shun Long, Liu i, and Xingyi left in the skies above the 'Golden Shield city'.
By now, it was clear that a few Dao Kings within the city had also noticed the powerful auras looming in the skies above them, but unsurprisingly, nobody was willing to go and confront the newcors.
After all, the cultivation of a peak-stage Dao King was already the apex in the 'Night star continent', and even then, there were only so many such experts throughout the continent. Who would be brave enough to confront two of them at the sa ti for no apparent reason?
Whether it was the Cui clan of the 'Golden Shield city' or the other powerful clans that resided there, none of them were willing to dip their toes in the mud and go greet Liu i and the others. They were just praying that those people were simply passing by and were going to leave soon after.
And indeed, a few monts later, Xingyi started to fidget and lower her head, as if she was heavily contemplating sothing, before she eventually looked at Shun Long and said
''Brother Long! I... I'm going back to the 'Silver mountain'!''
As he looked at the stunning beauty in front of him, Shun Long imdiately noticed the hesitation hidden in Xingyi's eyes, as well as the slight trembling in her voice as she ntioned returning to the 'Silver mountain'. However, her gaze quickly turned resolute monts afterwards, as if she knew this was sothing she had to face sooner or later.
Stepping forward, Shun Long gently embraced the young woman in front of him before he whispered in her ear
''Do you want to co with you? I can take a detour before returning to the Desolate East.''
However, Xingyi resolutely shook her head and answered, her beautiful erald eyes staring back at him
''No, I'll be fine. This is sothing I have to deal with myself. I just hope that brother Long can co to when you are done visiting your parents.''
Shun Long could sense the strong emotions hidden in Xingyi's eyes as she looked at him. He could feel the longing in her caring gaze, but he could also sense the determination she carried. Then, without waiting for a response, Xingyi threw one last glance at Liu i and smiled at her, before her figure dissolved into the shadows, vanishing from the skies above the 'Golden Shield city'.
Staring at the bundle of shadows that moved towards the north of the continent with incredible speed, Shun Long fell silent for a mont before eventually shaking his head.
At the end of the day, Xingyi was a peak rank 9 Dao King and an extrely powerful one, so Shun Long knew he had no reason to worry. After all, other than Bai Longtian, there was most likely no one else in the 'Night star continent' who could be her match anymore.
