Liu Mei, Xingyi, Bai Longtian, and Jiang Chen, were all stunned when they heard this, but they all nodded their heads barely a moment later.
Shun Long had a confident smile on his face as he looked at them and said
''Don't worry, it won't take too long.''
Turning around, Shun Long first circulated his 'Monarch's Hourglass' and spread out his soul sense, before he covered himself with his second 'Monarch's Domain' and sprinted towards the center of the arena at full speed.
By now, Shun Long's soul sense was more than enough to cover the entire arena that only spanned for 800 meters.
In the blink of an eye, he immediately located 6 figures that were hurled together and seemed to be talking to each other at the other end of the arena.
''Master really seems excited to participate in these faction wars.'' Little Black mused to himself as he saw Shun Long running towards the direction of Lim Yu's group at full speed with a smile on his face.
A few moments later, once the disciples among the crowd noticed that Shun Long was the only one heading towards Lim Yu's faction while Liu Mei and the rest were all standing back, a flurry of discussions instantly erupted
''What the hell?! The faction leader is heading towards the enemy faction all by himself? Doesn't that Shun Long know the rules of the faction wars?''
''Is this guy crazy? He is just a middle rank 4 Nascent Soul stage cultivator! What is he doing?''
''But look at his speed... Isn't he even faster than Lim Yu?''
The moment that Shun Long circulated his 'Monarch's Hourglass' and finally revealed his cultivation, the disciples sitting in the audience seats were instantly shocked when they sensed that Shun Long was just a middle rank 4 Nascent Soul cultivator.
After all, even the weakest member from Lim Yu's faction was at the early rank 5 of the Nascent Soul, while Lim Yu himself was an early rank 6 Nascent Soul cultivator. The difference between him and Shun Long was almost 2 full minor ranks.
However, Shun Long's speed right now had shocked those disciples as well, since it had already far exceeded the speed of an early rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivator like Lim Yu! It was probably even comparable to the speed of some late-stage rank 6 Nascent Soul cultivators.
At the same time that Shun Long was heading towards the center of the arena, he also noticed through his soul sense that the 6 figures from Lim Yu's faction were doing the same, all of them heading towards the center of the arena as well.
''Oh? You are approaching me?''
Shun Long smirked as he instantly realized what Lim Yu was trying to do, causing a big smile to appear on his face.
Normally, the leader of a faction would stay far behind during the faction wars and be protected by a few of his faction members, while those who were suited to attack would try to take out the enemy leader.
However, since Lim Yu had the highest cultivation among everyone else in this faction war, he wasn't planning on waiting until Jiang Chen and the others ambushed him, and was planning to personally attack by himself!
The disciples sitting in the audience seats could also see this scene from above, causing them to be stunned.
For one faction leader to do this was already extremely rare, but for 2 of them to have the same crazy thought at the same time was something that none of these disciples had expected.
The white-robed Elder in the sky, Elder Teng looked at Shun Long with a curious look in his eyes.
Although the disciples in the audience seats had failed to sense this, but how could an experienced Elder like him not notice that Shun Long's soul sense had already encompassed the entire arena.
Sensing Lim Yu's movements and still running straight towards him made Elder Teng curious to see what Shun Long was planning to rely on to fight against him.
..
In just a few moments, Shun Long had actually crossed the first 300 meters, arriving right at the center of the arena.
Unlike the forest behind him, the center of the arena was completely clear from any trees, giving the participants clear vision for the next 100 meters in front of them.
As soon as he arrived in this place, Shun Long suddenly stopped running and turned his attention towards the forest ahead.
A few moments later, his lips finally curved up into a smile as he waved his hand, causing a pitch-black sword to appear in front of him.
At the same time, from the forest ahead of him, Shun Long saw the silhouette of a young man dressed in yellow robes, being followed by 2 other outer court disciples, all of them heading towards him at full speed.
Indeed, since the distance that the forest covered was less than 300 meters, it only took a few moments for Lim Yu to cross it and arrive at the center of the arena as well.
At that moment, Lim Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks, and stared at Shun Long who was standing leisurely at the center of the arena with unconcealed shock and suspicion in his eyes.
''Boss, what the hell is going on?''
The young man and the young woman who were following behind Lim Yu were also stunned when they saw this scene, causing the young man to exclaim loudly in disbelief.
It was one thing for Lim Yu to personally head to the enemy faction's territory since he was the strongest cultivator in this faction war, but for Shun Long to do the same was crazy!
Did this guy think he was stronger than Lim Yu?
Although Lim Yu was surprised by how Shun Long was a middle rank 4 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he didn't care about it that much as his eyes started to survey his surroundings, wary that Jiang Chen or Liu Mei and the rest would suddenly attack him.
In his eyes, whether Shun Long was at the early stages of the Nascent Soul or at the middle of rank 4 instead made little difference to him.
After all, Lim Yu himself was an early rank 6 Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
The only one who was strong enough to match him head-on in his eyes, was only that monster Jiang Chen who was at the peak of rank 5 in the Nascent Soul.
Bai Longtian simply had no way to threaten him, despite the extraordinarily powerful defense that he had through his Dao of the Buddha.
As for Liu Mei, even if she summoned her entire army of undeads, she was still just an early rank 5 Nascent Soul cultivator right now. Although she could prove to be a bit problematic since she could summon thousands of undead skeletons at the Nascent Soul stage, Lim Yu was still confident that there was no chance for him to lose.
At the same time, although Xingyi was said to have a rare unique physique and was suited extremely well for assassinations, as long as he was on his guard Lim Yu believed that he would still be fine.
But Shun Long? If Lim Yu didn't count his immortal-grade bloodline, he believed that Shun Long was truly the weakest among everyone else in his faction.
Shun Long simply smiled when he noticed the look of disdain in Lim Yu's eyes, as Lim Yu kept staring at his surroundings vigilantly.
In just a few moments, the other 3 member from Lim Yu's faction also emerge from the forest as they appeared behind him, all of them staring at the young man who was standing by himself at the center of the arena with curious looks in their eyes.
''Will you come by yourself or do I have to come to you instead?'' Shun Long looked at the 6 people in front of him and spoke a moment later.
Shun Long's voice was calm as he stared at the 6 people in front of him with his deep golden eyes, but the hint of mockery in his tone it made Lim Yu's face turn red from anger.
Indeed, what did he have to fear? Even if Jiang Chen and the rest were laying an ambush, Lim Yu knew that his entire faction was already here.
He didn't think that he would lose against a newly-created faction.
''Attack! Take down this kid!''
Lim Yu took out a small black dagger from his robes and held it tightly in his hand, as he was the first one to charge towards Shun Long.
The 5 outer disciples behind him immediately followed after him, as they took out their weapons and chased after him.
''Come! I'm curious to see how strong an early rank 6 Nascent Soul outer disciple of the sect is as well.''
Taking a step forward, Shun Long suddenly disappeared from the spot he was standing on, as he blinked right in front of the young man who was standing behind Lim Yu.
Lim Yu and the rest were all startled when they saw Shun Long suddenly appear in their midst. Although Lim Yu already knew about Shun Long's Dao of Space, he hadn't expected that Shun Long would really dare to appear in the midst of his entire faction.
Shun Long simply smiled as he looked at the young man in front of him, as he raised his left hand that wasn't holding the black sword, and pointing at the chest of the young man he mumbled in a low voice
''Thunderbolt finger''
