Divine King of Honour-Chapter 442: The Hidden Lethal Threat

Xu Nian did not know that after deliberation, the Xu family had decided to eliminate him within the ancestral land.

At this moment, he stood on a desolate peak.

Surrounding him were the vast lands and the continuous mountain ranges.

These mountain ranges were full of lush vegetation.

The trees were ancient; each one reached a hundred meters tall.

Judging by their rings, each one was over a thousand years old.

The air all around was permeated with an ancient aura.

"Is this the Xu Family Ancestral Land?" Xu Nian looked around.

He discovered that the energy inside this small world of the Xu Family Ancestral Land was different from that of the outside world.

The area was not filled with Spiritual Energy but an energy Xu Nian had never seen before.

This energy was extremely volatile.

Ordinary cultivators, if they absorbed this energy, were very likely to suffer from qi deviation.

That is to say, for ordinary cultivators entering this place, once their internal Spiritual Energy was depleted, it would be difficult to replenish.

However, this situation did not apply to Xu Nian.

His Dan Sea Species Green Lotus could absorb any energy, even the wildly raging Demon Beast Crystal Core.

How could he fear this wild energy?

"Still, I should first look for my mother’s whereabouts. Grandfather mentioned there are nine safety zones in the ancestral land; I wonder which one my mother is in," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

Before coming here, Xu Nian had learned about the ancestral land’s situation from Xu Tianxu.

There were a total of nine safety zones in this ancestral land, and each person who entered would be transported to a different safety zone.

Xu Nian had been transported to one of these nine zones.

Clearly, the safety zone he was in was not the same one his mother had been sent to.

Apart from these nine safety zones, all other areas were the territories where the savage beasts roamed.

These beasts were very powerful; the weakest among them were of Battle General Level strength.

The strongest could even be compared to the peak of Saint Level.

Therefore, even for a Xu Family Saint, it would be very dangerous to venture here.

However, hunting these savage beasts would yield a unique power.

Integrating this power into one’s body could enhance the Ancestor Vein Power.

The more powerful the beast slain, the greater the energy obtained.

Xu Nian sped off in one direction.

The safety zone only spanned an area of one square kilometer.

Beyond this range, there was no protective formation.

"Buzz!"

Indeed, as soon as Xu Nian stepped out of the safety zone, he felt as if he had passed through a layer of ripples.

Once outside the safety zone, Xu Nian found the energy around him became even more violent.

Terrifying roars of beasts echoed all around.

The roars boomed incessantly like thunder.

From these sounds, one could tell that these savage beasts were incredibly strong.

Xu Nian did not head towards the direction of the beast roars; what he needed to do now was to quickly find the next safety zone.

To see if his mother’s figure was there.

Xu Nian’s form turned into a streak of light, rushing towards the distance at high speed.

The fierce wind brushed against his body, rustling his robes.

Yet, it did not slow him down in the slightest; on the contrary, it seemed to make Xu Nian’s form even faster under its influence.

"Buzz!"

But as Xu Nian approached a mountain peak,

He suddenly stopped, his brow furrowed as he looked ahead.

For some reason, he felt a strong sense of impending danger.

It was as if one more step would lead him into an abyss.

Yet his Spiritual Sense detected nothing amiss.

Nor were there any powerful wild beasts.

But this intense feeling of danger did not diminish in the slightest.

"Lady Emperor, can you take a look at what’s ahead for me? I feel a very unsettling sensation," Xu Nian communicated with Emperor Ye Tian telepathically.

"Kid, you’re disrupting my sweet dreams again. Haven’t I told you... Eh, kid, have you offended someone?" Emperor Ye Tian answered impatiently.

However, her tone changed to one of surprise and suspicion halfway through her response.

"An enemy on the way? Lady Emperor, are you suggesting there’s an ambush ahead?" Xu Nian asked, bewildered.

"Correct. There’s a formidable Great Formation in front of you, a powerful Immortal Array, the Slaying Immortal and Destroying God Array. Although it’s only a remnant of the full formation, its power is enough to kill any Cultivator below the Battle Emperor level. If you had taken a few more steps just now, you would have been dead," Emperor Ye Tian declared.

The Slaying Immortal and Destroying God Array?

Xu Nian’s brow immediately furrowed.

If this formation had existed here all along, that would be one thing.

But if this powerful Formation was aimed at him, then things were quite serious.

"Stop guessing; this Great Formation is indeed targeting you. This formation is maintained by a person. Someone is definitely hiding within, and he is the core of this Formation. This person’s strength must reach at least Holy Level," said Emperor Ye Tian.

Upon hearing these words, Xu Nian’s eyes narrowed instantly.

The Great Formation was targeting him.

Then the one who could set up such a Formation in the Xu Family Ancestral Land and wait for him to emerge was likely only one person.

"What a move by the Xu Family, what a move by Xu Tianhong. They’ve been ’repairing the walkway while secretly forging through another path’ to keep me trapped in this ancestral land forever. Indeed, what a fine tactic," Xu Nian’s eyes were brimming with Killing Intent.

Xu Tianhong had been so courteous to him that day.

Yet now, he had set up such a formidable formation to ambush him directly.

Despite his considerations of giving the Xu Family a hand, out of respect for Xu Tianxu’s face,

He hadn’t expected the Xu Family would actually try to erase him, this threat, from the world.

He truly hadn’t thought the Xu Family could be so cold and heartless.

As for how the Xu Family knew he was in this safe zone, they might not have known.

But they must have set traps at the exits of all nine safe zones, just waiting for him to fall into one.

That terrifying roar of the Demon Beast was probably to keep Xu Nian from heading in the direction they didn’t want him to take, purposely orchestrated.

Realizing all this, Xu Nian’s heart filled with even more rage.

The Xu Family had plotted so meticulously just to kill him.

How ludicrous.

"Damn it, if the Xu Family wants to kill me, then what about my mother?" Xu Nian suddenly thought of something, and his complexion changed terribly.

If the Xu Family intended to kill him, they would definitely not leave his mother in the safe zone.

Even if they didn’t lay a hand on his mother, they would guard her safe zone tightly, waiting for him to fall into their net.

"The Xu Family, I, Xu Nian, swear that if you dare harm a single hair on my mother, I will flatten your Longyu Mountain," Xu Nian’s eyes surged with killing intent, and a fierce aura burst forth from his heart.

Once again looking towards the forest ahead, Xu Nian’s eyes narrowed.

"Lady Emperor, is there any way to find out the person hiding in the Formation?" Xu Nian asked.

"Kid, such a trivial matter can’t trouble this Emperor. But even if we find him, he’s hidden within the formation, and you won’t be able to attack him!" said Emperor Ye Tian.

"Lady Emperor, just help me find him; I will handle the rest," Xu Nian said.

"Fine, give me a moment," the Lady Emperor replied.

Xu Nian said no more, but his gaze was colder than ever.

"The Xu Family, since you’ve shown no mercy, then don’t blame me for my indifference. You want to kill me? Then I’ll show you that Xu Nian is not a soft persimmon that anyone can crush," Xu Nian clenched his fist, his heart filled with rampant killing intent.
