Divine King of Honour-Chapter 330 The Hypocritical Xie Tiancheng

Xu Nian packed away the God King Tripod and then led the people of the Artifact Refining Sect deeper into the tomb.

He did not regret killing the three from the Tianjian Sect in the slightest.

All three deserved to die, especially the Young Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect, who was simply too arrogant.

It must be said that the power of the God King Tripod was incredibly domineering.

Below the level of a Saint, few could withstand its attack.

This undoubtedly added another ace to Xu Nian's hand.

Xu Nian continued to press forward.

Chen Wudi, however, returned to the inside of the Star Tower.

He was of no help outside.

Better to enter into cultivation.

Xu Nian agreed, given the multitude of dangers within the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

If they encountered any danger,

Xu Nian might not be able to ensure his safety on time.

So, only Xu Nian and his party of five continued onward.

Soon, Xu Nian and his group once again came upon a grand hall.

The layout inside this hall was exactly the same as the previous one they had constructed.

The only difference was that there was a huge stele in the center of this hall.

The stele was covered with dense, varying sword marks crisscrossing all over it.

In front of the stele, there were quite a few people standing.

Probably a dozen or so.

These were all Loose Cultivators who had gathered.

Most of them were at Battle General Level.

However, there were also three who were Marquis Level powerhouses.

The leader was a young man.

Twenty-eight or twenty-nine, handsome and imposing.

His strength was also rather extraordinary.

He had already reached the Four-star Battle King level.

demonstrated that his talent was truly exceptional.

The other two Battle Kings were also a One-star Battle King and a Two-star Body King.

These people stood in front of the stele.

Each one frowning, as if they were contemplating something.

Seeing Xu Nian and his group approach, they stepped aside.

The young man also turned his head to look at Xu Nian and the others.

When his gaze fell on Yann Hong, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Ever since outside the tomb, he had been captivated by Yann Hong's beauty and temperament.

Now, unexpectedly seeing Yann Hong again made his heart leap with joy.

Thus, Xie Tiancheng shifted his gaze, stepped forward, and said, "I am Xie Tiancheng, and I have seen the Artifact Refining Sect Master and the Elders."

Xu Nian had indeed made a scene at the entrance of the tomb, which he had seen.

Thus, he was aware of Xu Nian's identity.

The reason he showed such respect to Xu Nian and his group

was not truly out of reverence for Xu Nian, but rather to get closer to Yann Hong.

"What do you want?" Xu Nian asked coldly.

How could he not see through Xie Tiancheng's intentions?

Xie Tiancheng obviously had ulterior motives.

For such people, Xu Nian was not inclined to bother.

"It's like this, I have always admired the strength of the Artifact Refining Sect and have wished to join, but have never been able to. May I ask if the Sect Master could give me an opportunity?" Xie Tiancheng said with a light smile on his lips.

In his view, being such a talented individual proposing to join the Artifact Refining Sect,

the Sect Master would undoubtedly be very supportive.

This way, he could naturally stay by Yann Hong's side and then gradually capture Yann Hong's heart.

He was not one of those men who lacked tact.

He understood that women needed to be coaxed bit by bit.

As long as he desired a woman, he had never failed to obtain her.

Those women he had toyed with, even after being discarded by him, still held their heavy hearts and eagerly waited for his return.

There were dozens of these women, if not hundreds, and each belonged to various factions.

This was the second thing Xie Tiancheng was proud of, besides his swordsmanship.

Yann Hong was his next target to conquer.

"Eh, Xie Tiancheng actually wants to join the Artifact Refining Sect?"

"Yes, it's really unexpected. Previously, the Tianjian Sect had actively invited him to join as an Elder, but he didn't accept. Now, he is actually asking to join the Artifact Refining Sect—this will make the sect even richer with talented individuals!"

"Indeed, Xie Tiancheng, known as the 'Little Sword Saint,' is a real boon for the Artifact Refining Sect."

...

Those Loose Cultivators around were buzzing with discussions.

Even the three Elders of the Artifact Refining Sect showed admiration in their expressions.

Xie Tiancheng, hearing everyone's discussions, felt even more proud in his heart.

"Artifact Refining Sect does not just accept anyone; you may leave!"

However, at that moment, Xu Nian's cold voice suddenly rang out.

Xie Tiancheng's smile immediately froze.

The surrounding Loose Cultivators were also stunned.

What happened?

The Sect Master of the Artifact Refining Sect actually rejected him.

Doesn't he know that Xie Tiancheng is a Sword Dao talent?

The Artifact Refining Sect Elders were also surprised but said nothing.

Yann Hong's face showed no emotion, as she didn't have much fondness for Xie Tiancheng either.

Xie Tiancheng's face turned cold—he had not expected Xu Nian to reject him.

Yet, he suppressed the rage in his heart and once again adopted a humble demeanor, "Perhaps the Sect Master does not know, I am twenty-eight this year, a Four-star Battle King, and have achieved some success in understanding the Sword Dao, having reached the Second Level of Sword Force."

Though Xie Tiancheng appeared humble, his heart was filled with arrogance.

He waited for Xu Nian to show a surprised look.

However, after his words had dropped, the anticipated surprised expression from Xu Nian did not appear.

"Eh?"

Xie Tiancheng was stunned.

Why wasn't Xu Nian surprised?

The Second Level of Sword Force was a realm that many of the older generation of strong practitioners had not reached.

Everyone around showed surprised expressions, yet the Artifact Refining Sect Master remained expressionless.

Was he deliberately pretending to be profound?

Xie Tiancheng thought so and immediately concluded that Xu Nian was feigning depth in front of him.

His heart instantly filled with disdain for Xu Nian.

However, Xu Nian's next words made him completely unable to contain his anger.

"Is the Second Level of Sword Force so great?" Xu Nian said with a light laugh.

Everyone around was stunned at this.

Anger flashed across Xie Tiancheng's eyes as he coldly snorted, "If the Sect Master looks down on me, he could have just refused directly; why the need to humiliate me like this? I, Xie Tiancheng, may not belong to any great faction, but it's not anyone's place to bully me."

The people around nodded in agreement.

They felt that Xu Nian was being a bit too extreme.

Xu Nian smirked, finding Xie Tiancheng quite hypocritical.

Despite his hypocritical facade, he portrayed himself as being very wronged.

Even the three Great Elders felt that Xu Nian might have overdone it.

"Do you think I can't see your intent? Did you wish to join my Artifact Refining Sect genuinely wanting to be a disciple, or did you have an ulterior motive? Did you really think my Artifact Refining Sect was a place for you to flirt and pursue women?" Xu Nian's voice was forceful and angry.

Xie Tiancheng was stunned, not expecting Xu Nian to see through his intentions.

At that moment, everyone began to cast suspicious looks at him.

Was Xie Tiancheng joining the Artifact Refining Sect for a woman?

Considering Xie Tiancheng's past actions, it was quite possible.

Seeing the doubts among the crowd, Xie Tiancheng angrily pointed at Xu Nian and said, "You slander me! I originally admired the Artifact Refining Sect and wanted to join, but I never expected the Sect Master of the Artifact Refining Sect to be such a shortsighted person, envious of my talents. It seems better not to join after all!"

Xu Nian heard this and showed a smile.

"Shortsighted? You really think of yourself as a prized piece, don't you?"

Xu Nian mocked coldly, took a step forward, and a powerful Sword Force emerged from him.

And this Sword Force, astonishingly, was at the Third Level of Sword Force.
