Chapter 754 - 754 (1/2)

Old Lin nodded his head as he stared at the middle-aged man in silver armor in front of him and answered seriously

''Naturally, I wouldn't call you here for no reason. Commander Quan, there are some guests that the city lord has personally invited here, and as per the city lord's instructions, you will be the one to protect them while they stay in our city.''

''Protect?'' The silver-armored middle-aged man, Quan Lin mumbled, as he stared at 'old Lin' with a look of surprise on his face.

Although there had been cases in the past where certain powerful people were invited in the Sovereign's estate by the Northern Sovereign herself, there had never been a case where an exalted peak Dao Emperor like Quan Lin would be assigned to personally protect those people.

Besides, most people who were invited to the Sovereign's estate as guests, would usually be extremely powerful individuals who had no need for protection in the first place.

At most, a group of peak Dao Kings would be instructed to follow them around, in case someone was blind enough to offend them.

''Since the city lord has personally said this, I will naturally follow her orders. General Lin, can you tell me if there is something special about those guests?''

Shaking his head, the golden-armored old man, 'old Lin' looked at the entrance of the Southern Dragon's courtyard in front of him and said calmly

''I don't know much about this matter either. The city lord just returned from the King's Palace today and told me to take care of this issue. If you want to know more about this, you can only ask the city lord herself.''

Nodding his head, the silver-armored Quan Lin didn't say anything else and simply stared at the entrance of the Southern Dragon's courtyard as well, curious to see what kind of guests could warrant so much attention from the Northern Sovereign that she would send a peak Dao Emperor like him to protect them.

In reality, even if Quan Lin was compared to someone like the Grand Elder of the Holy sect, he would still be slightly stronger in terms of strength and he was half a strp away from breaking through to the Sovereign realm. It was no wonder that he was surprised after he was asked to personally guard a group of guests.

At the same time, inside the Southern Dragon's courtyard, Shun Long stared at the black token in his hands for a few more moments with a smile on his face, before he turned his attention back towards Jiang Chen and the rest and said calmly

''I'm going to have a look around the city for a bit and see if there is anything to buy. After that, I'm planning to leave for a few months.''

''Leave the city?'' Bai Longtian and the rest were all surprised when they heard this.

''Brother, where are you going?'' Jiang Chen looked at Shun Long and asked curiously a moment later.

As far as Jiang Chen and the others werr aware, ever since Shun Long had entered the Holy sect, aside from cultivating or when they were completing missions, Shun Long had spent his entire time within the sect.

Shun Long's lips curved up into a big smile as he looked at Jiang Chen and the others before he answered calmly
