Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1701: Luo Shang’s Sorrow

"Why did you agree to their challenge, and still one against two?"

Luo Shang asked with some annoyance.

She really couldn’t understand why Xu Nian agreed to the provocation from the Shi brothers.

Xu Nian simply smiled.

"Do you think I would lose?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

This question steadied Luo Shang.

Would Xu Nian lose?

To her, the possibility of Xu Nian losing seemed too great.

After all, the Shi brothers are Immortal Emperor Level powerhouses, and the Shi brothers are from the Dragon Clan.

The physical strength of the Dragon Clan is unanimously recognized as the best.

It can be said that aside from having a slight advantage in Sword Dao intent, Xu Nian has no other advantages.

"You’re really too reckless, are you sure you have the confidence to defeat them?" Luo Shang asked.

"I don’t have absolute confidence." Xu Nian said.

He indeed didn’t have absolute confidence, as he could only use the Nine-Headed Snake Emperor Avatar right now.

If he used his true form, he could easily dominate them with sheer physical strength.

"Then why did you agree?" Luo Shang frowned.

"If I don’t agree, how can I help your Phoenix Clan regain its dignity?" Xu Nian said with a smile.

Luo Shang froze.

Unexpected that Xu Nian wanted to help her Phoenix Clan gain face?

"The more your Phoenix Clan fades, the less you can afford to show weakness, otherwise your Phoenix Clan’s situation will become even more difficult." Xu Nian said.

"But if you lose, wouldn’t you lose your life?" Luo Shang said urgently.

"Rest assured, I won’t die, they can’t kill me." Xu Nian said with a smile.

How could he be so easily killed?

Hearing Xu Nian say this, Luo Shang didn’t know what to say.

But she was still incredibly worried in her heart.

Xu Nian simply smiled.

The reason he did this was actually to win over the Phoenix Clan.

Once he wins the life-and-death battle, he will surely attract the attention of the Phoenix Clan.

At that time, the Phoenix Clan will definitely try to win him over.

This is his fastest way to establish his position in the Demon God Palace.

And his purpose of delaying the life-and-death battle for ten days was not to achieve any major improvement during these ten days, but to let them spread the news.

Only if the matter becomes big enough will his status in the eyes of the Phoenix Clan increase.

In order to save Xu Yu, relying solely on his own strength is absolutely impossible.

Moreover, Luo Shang and Luo Xia both want to save Little Yu, which aligns with his purpose.

"Since you’ve already made up your mind, I won’t persuade anymore. I hope you can defeat them ten days later." Luo Shang said.

"Steward Luo, if I kill the two brothers, will it be troublesome?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

"It will be. The Dragon Clan definitely won’t let you go, and by then, there might be more people causing trouble for you. Why? Are you afraid?" Luo Shang asked.

Xu Nian immediately laughed.

"Of course not! I just want to make a mental preparation." Xu Nian said.

Luo Shang nodded.

She always felt that Xu Nian’s actions seemed too reckless.

After bringing Xu Nian to a residence, she left directly.

At that moment, he had already arrived at a huge palace.

This palace was at the core area of the Demon God Palace.

On the main seat of the palace, there was a middle-aged man wearing a colorful and luxurious outfit.

The man had a phoenix crown on his head, exuding an endless aura of nobility and majesty.

This person was one of the Three Emperors of the Demon God Palace.

"Father!" Luo Shang looked at the man respectfully.

"Back? Did your sister agree?" the middle-aged man spoke, his tone filled with authority.

"No, my sister still opposes it to the point of threatening herself with death." Luo Shang said.

The middle-aged man’s brow immediately furrowed.

"Humph, she’s really been spoiled. How can she act willfully in such matters? Sikong Wushang and Ahoo Hai have pressured me multiple times; she has to marry even if she doesn’t want to, or otherwise, our Phoenix Clan is hard-pressed to survive." The middle-aged man said angrily.

Luo Shang stood in the hall, her eyes complex.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and said: "Father, I... am willing to marry in my sister’s place."

Upon saying this, it seemed like Luo Shang had used all her life’s courage.

"You?" The middle-aged man looked at Luo Shang with some surprise.

"Have you thought it through? Didn’t you look down on Sikong Bo before?" The middle-aged man’s voice lightened.

"I am willing to sacrifice my personal happiness for the Phoenix Clan." Luo Shang said determinedly.

But tears shimmered in her eyes.

"Sigh, if only your sister were half as sensible as you, the Phoenix Clan owes you." The middle-aged man said.

"Father, I am willing." Luo Shang said firmly.

"Alright, I understand your intention. I will discuss this matter with Sikong Wushang." the middle-aged man replied.

Upon hearing this, Luo Shang’s heart sank to the bottom.

"I heard you brought a Nine-Headed Snake into the Demon God Palace?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, this person’s talent is very high, and his bloodline purity exceeds mine, reaching ninety percent." Luo Shang said.

"Ninety percent? Then it’s not an ordinary Nine-Headed Snake; it must be a Nine-Headed Snake Emperor. I never expected there to be a Nine-Headed Snake Emperor in the Demon Realm." The middle-aged man said in surprise.

"The most frightening thing is his comprehension; he actually understood the world’s sword moves— a total of thirty-six moves— and combined them into one." Luo Shang said.

"What?" The Phoenix Clan experts were suddenly shocked.

"If what you say is true, this Nine-Headed Snake Emperor is definitely a genius of the highest caliber. Such a talented individual must be won over, kept from siding with the Dragon Clan." The Phoenix Emperor said.

"There’s no worry. He has already clashed with the Shi brothers, with a life-and-death duel scheduled to be held in ten days." Luo Shang said.

"It’s a bit reckless, but perfectly suited to gauge his true abilities. If he wins, our Phoenix Clan will ally with him, and his ties with the Dragon Clan will break completely." The Phoenix Emperor said.

"Yes, Father!" Luo Shang nodded.

"Alright, you may leave first. Ten days from now, I will pay attention to this matter. During this time, if he needs anything, do fulfill it, but don’t get too close to him to avoid arousing Sikong Bo’s jealousy." The Phoenix Emperor said.

"Yes, Father!" Luo Shang nodded.

Her eyes filled with solitude.

She never thought her once mighty Phoenix Clan had fallen to such depths.

Sigh!

She had hoped to lead the Phoenix Clan to greatness through her own efforts, at least standing equally against the Dragon Clan.

But now, those wishes were surely to be dashed.

Once she joined the Dragon Clan, she’d certainly be closely monitored, potentially having her cultivation intentionally suppressed to prevent any breakthroughs.

This was common practice in the Dragon Clan.

No female from the Phoenix Clan residing there had had a happy outcome.

After paying respect to the Phoenix Emperor, Luo Shang exited the Phoenix Emperor Hall.

Standing outside the hall, she gazed at the mountains and rivers outside the Demon God Palace, feelings of unease brewing within.

Suddenly, Luo Shang thought of Xu Nian.

Immediately, she headed towards Xu Nian’s residence.

At that moment, she had a lot of bitterness to share, and the only suitable person she could confide in was Xu Nian, an outsider.

Xu Nian was in the courtyard, comprehending the Gold Attribute Law.

Seeing Luo Shang’s sudden visit, his eyes held a trace of curiosity.

"Come with me to a place."

Luo Shang left behind a sentence and instantly teleported.

Xu Nian, helpless, immediately teleported and followed.
