Dong Weifeng's pupils contracted while his body shivered as soon as his eyes met Shun Long's cold gaze.
Shun Long's black eyes were still emitting killing intent, even when Dong Weifeng was the only 'enemy' left inside the main hall.
Understanding that he was about to die, the king of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' abandoned any notion of pride left, and hurriedly fell on his knees.
However, he wasn't dumb enough to beg Shun Long, and instead, his gaze fell on Shun Fang, as he spoke with tears in his eyes
''Brother Shun, please forgive me! I know what I have done wrong.
I shouldn't have let my son, no, that unfilial bastard to spread the word about you!
I know that I don't deserve any forgiveness, but I have already lost 2 sons and 2 wives, please don't kill me!''
Shun Long frowned when he heard Dong Weifeng's words, while his eyes narrowed.
No matter what excuse Dong Weifeng used, the truth was, that not only did he allow Dong Lingxin to spread Shun Fang's name, but he did everything he could to force him to fight against Wei Tai even when it meant risking his life.
And now he was asking for forgiveness?
Shun Fang also shook his head, and without the slightest hint of pity in his eyes, he looked at the kneeling Dong Weifeng and spoke coldly
''Hehe, if it was just me that you had hurt, I could allow you to leave today after crippling your cultivation!
After all, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
However, not only did you choose to torture us after sending us in your dungeon, but you were also the cause that my wife's cultivation was crippled as well!
Don't bother to ask for forgiveness, since you are the one who deserves to die the most out of everyone else!''
Horror filled Dong Weifeng's heart when he heard Shun Fang's words.
After all, this was no different than sentencing him to death!
Shun Long seemed to have hated him to begin with, and now Shun Fang's words seemed to have extinguished his final hope.
Dong Weifeng's expression quickly changed into one of madness, but before he could utter another word, Shun Long had already disappeared from his original spot after using the 'Gale Steps' and instantly appeared in front of Dong Weifeng.
An illusionary purple-colored blade had appeared on his right hand, and looking at the anxious king of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' in front of him, Shun Long slashed his blade horizontally towards Dong Weifeng's neck!
If the dancer girls hadn't already passed out from fear in a corner of the room, they would have witnessed a once in a lifetime scene.
The 'Sky Fortune Kingdom's' king's head was separated from his body as it flew through the air, leaving behind a fountain of blood that dyed the main hall of the palace red!
As soon as Shun Fang saw the scene in front of his eyes, a sense of gratification and a feeling of relief overcame his heart, as well as a feeling of weakness!
He felt relief that his son had saved him and Shun An, and he also felt gratified that Shun Long was strong enough to take revenge for his parents by himself, but he also felt weak after having his cultivation crippled!
He had trained since he was 13 years old like every other kid in the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', and he had slowly risen above everyone else and stood at the top of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' as a peak rank 3 bronze grade formation master and a peak rank 9 earth grade expert.
And yet, he seemed to have lost all of his power overnight due to Dong Weifeng's schemes and the inner fights of the royal family.
However, seeing his son being strong enough to take revenge for him was enough to put a smile on Shun Fang's face.
Shun An seemed to have felt Shun Fang's turbulent emotions, and holding Shun Fang's hand she said
''It's not too bad! At least we are still alive! If Long'er didn't come in time, perhaps we would have already turned into a pile of corpses by now!''
Shun Fang nodded his head, and held his wife's hand without saying a word, before their eyes both fell on Shun Long and Liu Mei.
Shun Long's expression was still serious, as he summoned Little Silver from the 'Stone of Time', and allowed Shun Fang and Shun An to sit on its back.
Without paying any more attention to the royal palace, he and Liu Mei sat on Little Silver's back as well, as he left the imperial city.
Shun Long had already heard that Dong Weifeng also had a daughter, but he wouldn't personally go and look for her in order to kill her.
With Wei Tai inside the palace, he didn't even know whether Dong Weifeng would have kept his daughter there or sent her somewhere far away.
As for the wealth of the royal palace and the situation of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', these were also things that Shun Long didn't care about either.
As a mortal kingdom, it was impossible for the royal family to have anything else other than low-quality gold and silver in their treasury.
After all, low-grade spirit stones were a rare commodity that only Heaven grade experts used in the 'Floating Cloud sect'.
As for the situation of the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom', this had already taken an unrecoverable turn for the worse even before Shun Long had killed Dong Weifeng and Dong Lingyuan.
On the way to the 'Blue Forest city', Shun Long had already seen Wei Tai's army pillaging villages and cities of the kingdom, practically destroying everything in their paths.
The 'Sky Fortune Kingdom's' army was already destroyed, and the kingdom's sovereignty lied in Wei Tai's hands.
Aside from the imperial city where the citizens were all holed up inside their homes, every other city in the kingdom was completely destroyed.
Shun Long was certain that it wouldn't take long for the rest of the citizens of the imperial city to start moving towards one of the nearby kingdoms, since the 'Sky Fortune Kingdom' would soon become the territory for another war to start, as the kingdoms around it would start fighting over its land.
Leaving the imperial city, Shun Long also expected the dancer girls and everyone else inside the palace to start spreading the news of Wei Tai's and the Zhu brothers' deaths very soon.
This would make the kingdoms that were previously under Wei Tai's, Zhu Zan's and Zhu Heng's control, to be fought over by the other Heaven grade cultivators around them.
After all, Shun Long knew, that Wei Tai, Zhu Zan and Zhu Heng weren't the only Heaven grade experts in this island of the 'Mortal world'. Now that they were dead, their territories will certainly be split up, and even their own families and their confidantes would have to escape.
...
It only took a few moments for the black panther to cross the distance from the imperial capital and arrive in the sky of the 'Blue Forest city'.
In the time that Shun Long took to go to the imperial palace and kill Wei Tai and the rest, Zhu Zan's and Zhu Heng's army had already escaped from the city when the rumors of the 'Heaven grade expert', Shun Long had started to spread.
However, almost all of the original inhabitants of the city had already been massacred, making the 'Blue Forest city' a city of death.
Arriving in the sky above the already destroyed Shun estate, Shun Long saw the disheartened Shun Fang and Shun An holding his hand, as they looked at the rubble of what was left of their original home.
With a serious expression in his eyes, Shun Long looked at his parents who were still staring at the wreckage below them before he said
''Father, mother, do you want to come with me and Mei'er to the 'Cultivation world'?''
