Divine King of Honour-Chapter 650: Cunning and Sly Old Fox

This was Xu Yu's life.

Therefore, when taking out the Jade Bottle, Xu Nian was extremely careful.

"Buzz!"

When Xu Nian opened the Jade Bottle, a strong fragrance immediately assaulted his nostrils.

Upon smelling the Elixir Fragrance, along with the radiant smile on his face.

Yes, this fragrance was much stronger than that of ordinary pills.

Simply by smelling it, he felt extremely comfortable all over.

"Senior Wentian, this Pill should be able to save Xu Yu, right?" Xu Nian hurriedly transmitted his voice to ask Wentian Demon Sovereign.

"Kid, you've been tricked," the voice of Wentian Demon Sovereign echoed in Xu Nian's mind.

"Tricked? What happened?" Xu Nian was clearly shocked.

How could he have been tricked?

Could the Pill in his hand be a fake?

"Kid, although the Pill in your hand is indeed a Spirit Pill, its quality has not reached the level of Low Grade Spirit Pills, it can at most be considered a half-finished product," the voice of Wentian Demon Sovereign sounded in Xu Nian's mind.

"A half-finished product?" Xu Nian's brow furrowed.

Immediately, a surge of anger welled up in his eyes.

The Sea Demon King truly was cunning, to give him a half-finished product as a ploy.

Was this openly taking him for a pushover?

"Does that mean the Sea Demon King still has a Low Grade Spirit Pill?" Xu Nian asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should have one. The Sea Demon King is extremely sly. He clearly does not want to give you the real Spirit Pill. The reason he's keeping you here is also to prevent you from taking the Pill back, lest the Penglai Sect Leader discovers it," Wentian Demon Sovereign analyzed.

Hearing this, even stronger anger surged in Xu Nian's eyes.

The Sea Demon King indeed had a shrewd plan.

"So what would happen if Xu Yu swallowed this half-finished Spirit Pill?" Xu Nian asked.

"Since the Pill is only a half-finished product, if your Demon Beast brother were to consume it, his injuries would be alleviated, and his life spared, but the injuries would not be fully healed. Consequently, his cultivation would be hindered for life. You would then assume the Low Grade Spirit Pill was insufficient for your brother's recovery, without suspecting the Sea Demon King's deception. On the contrary, you would owe him a favor," Wentian Demon Sovereign explained.

"What a cunning Sea Demon King," Xu Nian sneered inwardly.

If it weren't for the extensive knowledge of the Wentian Demon Sovereign, he would have been truly deceived by the Sea Demon King.

Believing that he actually wanted to please him with a Low Grade Spirit Pill.

It seems the Sea Demon King was trying to trade a half-finished product for his favor.

Truly cunning and sly.

"The real Spirit Pill is still in the Sea Demon King's hands. Sea Demon King, you deceived me first. I was considering whether to spare your life, but since you've played me like this, don't blame me for being ruthless," a strong surge of killing intent rose in Xu Nian's heart.

Since this Pill could not fully heal Xu Yu's injuries,

Xu Nian thought it best to wait.

If it really wasn't possible to obtain that Low Grade Spirit Pill, he would have to let Xu Yu take this Pill first.

Then he would find another way.

...

Just as Xu Nian saw through the Sea Demon King's trickery,

within the great hall where the Sea Demon King was, the Eight-clawed King was discussing Xu Nian with the Sea Demon King.

"Palace Master, do you really need to please this Xu Nian so much? I don't believe that even if he accepts your Spirit Pill, he will truly speak well of you in front of Dark God Island," said Eight-clawed King, dissatisfaction written all over his face.

He had been silently standing by during the conversation between Xu Nian and the Sea Demon King.

The fact that his Palace Master was so ingratiating towards Xu Nian made him extremely discontent.

"Hmph, you think I don't know? He's just a mere human; I never expected him to plead for me on Dark God Island," snorted the Sea Demon King, his eyes flashing with deep disdain.

"Then why did you still give him the Spirit Pill?" Eight-clawed King asked in astonishment.

The Sea Demon King simply chuckled and then said, "What I gave him was not the true Saint Pill, but a half-finished Spirit Luo Pill. Although both Pills have the same effects, the Spirit Luo Pill is only half-complete and nowhere near the quality of a Low Grade Spirit Pill. So the real Spirit Pill is still in my hands, while he believes he has obtained the true Spirit Pill."

"I see, Palace Master is indeed brilliant! How do you plan to deal with this fellow?" Eight-clawed King asked, his face brightening with a smile upon hearing of Xu Nian's deception.

It seemed the Palace Master was not wholeheartedly ingratiating himself with Xu Nian, which made him feel much more at ease.

"Deal with him? Naturally, I can't let him leave here alive. I've already sent someone to invite the Demon Snake Elder," the Sea Demon King said with a smile.

"The Demon Snake Elder? Palace Master, do you mean to...?" The Eight-clawed King was startled upon hearing the Sea Demon King's words,

especially at the mention of the Demon Snake Elder, his pupils visibly constricted involuntarily.

The Demon Snake Elder was a superpower in the Eastern Sea.

Even without any power and being just a lone individual, no one dared to provoke him.

The Sea Demon King had tried several times to recruit him to his side, but to no avail.

And the elder's greatest skill was his ability to take others' memories.

"Hmph, that's right. Xu Nian has many secrets. Rather than hoping he will help me clarify things on Dark God Island, it's better to take control of his secrets. Who knows, we might discover something that could aid my return to the forbidden sea," the Sea Demon King said with a cold laugh.

Upon hearing this, Eight-clawed King's face also revealed a radiant smile.

"Palace Master is truly a mastermind. Once the Demon Snake Elder makes his move, all the secrets of Xu Nian will definitely be unearthed. If Xu Nian can reach such strength before the age of twenty, he must have a significant fortune. Then, this fortune will belong to you, Palace Master," Eight-clawed King said with a laugh.

"Haha, I apologize for the inconvenience earlier. But once the Demon Snake Elder arrives, we still need to act, to let Xu Nian lower his guard. Then, it will be much easier for the Demon God Elder to make his move," the Sea Demon King stated.

"Yes!"

Eight-clawed King immediately responded with a smile.

Then a cold gleam flashed in his eyes, and he sneered inwardly: "Xu Nian, your end is near."
