Divine King of Honour-Chapter 410 - This Isn’t Good, Right?

"This is the Divine River Palace."

Xia Bingling, accompanied by Xu Nian and the Bull Demon King, arrived at a majestic palace in the eastern part of the Imperial Capital.

After nailing Wu Dong and his two companions to the wall, Xu Nian left.

He spared their lives because killing them would immediately attract the forces behind them.

Xu Nian wasn't ready to directly confront them yet.

If he lured those Saints, a fierce battle would inevitably ensue.

To fight and then escape was to send those Saints a warning.

This was not only satisfying, but also allowed him to secretly accumulate strength.

Let those enemies worry about the rest!

But now, after his disruption, the entire Imperial Capital knew he had come.

And his name had likely reached the ears of various powers.

After all, the legendary act of nailing three people to the city wall was bound to circulate throughout the city.

His exploits were probably already known throughout the entire Imperial Capital.

"Be careful. The Wu Dong you injured is Wu Changfeng's grandson, an Elder of Divine River Palace. He'll certainly come looking for you, but don't worry. I'll have Master protect you. With Master around, even Wu Changfeng won't dare do anything to you," Xia Bingling said.

Yet, her face was tinged with shyness, and she dared not look directly into Xu Nian's eyes.

Xu Nian smiled and nodded.

Ever since Xia Bingling had spoken those words in front of so many people.

She would always seem a bit shy when looking at him.

To this, Xu Nian could only pretend as if nothing had happened.

Soon, Xu Nian and the others were led into a grand hall.

At the upper part of the hall sat an old man with white hair.

The old man had the bearing of an immortal, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Xu Nian tried to probe the old man's cultivation level but found it was impossible.

This meant the old man's cultivation level reached at least that of a Three-star Saint.

The elder's cultivation level exceeded Xu Nian's ability to perceive with his Spiritual Sense Power.

Thus, sensing the old man's might, a wave of caution surged in Xu Nian's heart.

Facing such a powerhouse, he feared it would be hard to escape without using his full strength.

"You know how to come back. Do you realize how worried I was about you?"

However, the old man did not focus on Xu Nian or the Bull Demon King; instead, he glared at Xia Bingling who was walking at the front.

Xia Bingling immediately lowered her head.

Clearly, this elder was Xia Bingling's Master.

In front of her Master, Xia Bingling seemed more lively, unlike the cold demeanor she exhibited when they first met.

"Master, here I am back now, so please don't be angry," Xia Bingling said with a hint of coquetry.

The elder seated above sighed helplessly.

"Tell me, where have you been this past month?" the elder's tone softened.

"Where could I go? As soon as I left the Imperial Capital, the Tianji Pavilion pursued me. I intended to escape to East Field County, and if I hadn't run into them, I might already be dead," Xia Bingling said, growing more aggrieved as she spoke.

Xu Nian exchanged glances with the Bull Demon King nearby.

Clearly, the Xia Bingling in front of her Master was nothing like the Xia Bingling they usually saw.

At that moment, Xia Bingling had a mix of sharp wiliness and the air of a spoiled princess.

Xu Nian guessed correctly that upon seeing her Master, Xia Bingling completely relaxed and revealed her true self.

"Hmph, the Tianji Pavilion, becoming ever more arrogant. To think they'd dare lay a hand on my disciple. When there's an opportunity, I must meet with the Emperor and question his son," the elder slapped the chair beside him.

A terrifying aura instantly emanated from him.

Xu Nian and the Bull Demon King showed expressions of astonishment.

Saint Peak!

The elder in front of him was actually a Peak Powerhouse.

No wonder he couldn't probe the elder's cultivation.

Had the elder not gotten angry and revealed his aura,

Xu Nian would never have known that this elder was a high-level master at the Saint Peak.

Facing such a powerhouse, even if Xu Nian used his Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar, he likely wouldn't be his match.

"It seems the Imperial Capital is truly dangerous; bumping into any random person could be a Peak Saint. I need to be more careful," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

His actions today had been somewhat high-profile.

It was his good luck that no Saint Powerhouse had encountered him.

Otherwise, it was hard to say what his situation would be like now.

"Right, Master, let me introduce you to two friends I just made. They are the ones who saved me," Xia Bingling told the elder.

The elder glanced at Bull Demon King and slightly frowned his brow.

He had evidently recognized that the Bull Demon King was a Demon Saint.

It was rare indeed for a Demon Clan's Saint to come to the Imperial Capital.

"Eh!"

When he turned to Xu Nian, his face suddenly showed a light expression of surprise.

With a flash, he appeared in front of Xu Nian.

He began to circle around Xu Nian.

Xu Nian knew the elder had discovered his cultivation level and was amazed.

Yet, being sized up by a Peak Powerhouse like this was quite uncomfortable.

"Junior has seen the senior," Xu Nian respectfully said.

"One-star Battle Saint cultivation, and such a robust aura too. Your Body Cultivation has reached the Peak of Nine-star Body King, and your bone age is eighteen years old. If I'm not mistaken, young man, you must be Xu Nian, whose reputation has been growing across the continent recently!" the elder said, stroking his beard.

"That is indeed me!" Xu Nian respectfully replied.

He became even more vigilant in his heart.

If the elder had any thought of making a move, he would undoubtedly act without hesitation,

otherwise, he might not even have the chance to respond.

"Master, how do you know Xu Nian?" Xia Bingling exclaimed in surprise.

She didn't expect her master to know Xu Nian's name off the bat.

Could Xu Nian's reputation be that significant?

"My dear disciple, you probably don't know, but the young man before you killed three saints in Death Valley over two months ago, including powerful warriors of the Seven-star Level and had a Half-Emperor Pet. Moreover, he is the current Sect Master of the Artifact Refining Sect while his cultivation was only at the Four Star Battle King Level at that time," the elder answered with a smile.

"What?"

Xia Bingling was shocked and speechless upon hearing the elder.

Xu Nian's performance on their journey had already seemed miraculous.

But she never imagined Xu Nian had accomplished such heaven-defying feats.

Killing saints, having a Half-Emperor battle pet, becoming the Sect Master of the Artifact Refining Sect?

And crucially, just two months ago, he was merely a Four-star Battle King?

Yet now, he had already become a One-star Saint.

What an unbelievably terrifying speed of cultivation.

"Wow, little brother, you've accomplished such amazing feats. I said you couldn't possibly be so talented without some recognition, but the deeds you've done are truly heaven-defying!" Bull Demon King couldn't help but to exclaim.

He was only now learning of Xu Nian's achievements.

Listening to these feats was genuinely horrifying.

Xu Nian just helplessly shook his head and said to the elder, "Those were just some luck; elder shouldn't take it to heart."

"Ha ha, unassuming and calm, truly a peerless genius. Xu Nian, dare you have a fight with this old man? I won't bully you; I'll suppress my cultivation to the One-star Saint Realm. Do you dare or not?" the elder laughed heartily, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"This... might not be appropriate?" Xu Nian hesitated for a moment, then replied with a bitter smile.
