Divine King of Honour-Chapter 952: The Greedy Black Dragon

"You’re going to fight? It takes courage to kill on the battlefield. The battlefield is ruthless, and you could lose your life at any moment," said Wei Feng coldly.

Wei Feng deeply despised Wui Lun.

Although Wui Lun’s strength wasn’t weak, having already reached the Middle Stage of the Tribulation Gang Realm,

in Wei Feng’s eyes, such a hothouse flower simply couldn’t withstand the ravages of the battlefield.

"General Wei, you’re underestimating me. Even if I’m useless, I’m better than some who only know Artifact Refining," Wui Lun said, glancing at Xu Nian intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Nian chose to ignore it.

He had seen many spoiled children like Wui Lun, whose main feature was being all talk and no action, and insolent.

"Mind your manners. Since you’ve decided to join the army and resist the enemy, you’ll have to obey military orders. Xu Nian is the Deputy General of our Black Wind City, and from now on, you must salute him when you see him," Wei Feng snorted coldly.

"Salute? General Wei, you’ve made great contributions to battles, and I respect you, but what qualifications does this Xu Nian have to be a deputy general? Just for refining some weapons? Our Black Wind City wouldn’t treat him unfairly; some benefits are enough for him. As for matters on the battlefield, I think he should forget it," Wui Lun said without any reservation.

"This is the City Lord’s decision. If you have an opinion, you can take it up with the City Lord. But before that, you must follow the military orders of Black Wind City’s army," Wei Feng said sternly.

For someone who frequently fought on the battlefield, military orders were of utmost importance.

Clearly, Wui Lun’s arrogance had caused him great displeasure.

"General Wei, it’s true he’s appointed by the City Lord, but don’t forget, the three elders also have the authority to appoint and dismiss. So, I came here under my father’s orders to assume the position of Deputy General of the City Guard. As for the original Deputy General Xu Nian, if he wishes to continue in the army, he can take on the role of a Centurion," Wui Lun said, taking out a token.

The token had the character ’Wui’ engraved upon it.

It was one of the tokens of the three elders.

The power of the three elders was substantial, and even the City Lord could carry out dismissals.

Thus, the three elders weren’t just the top experts within the city, but they also held significant status.

Wui Lun’s father, Wui Tong, was one of the three elders, who had a child in his old age.

He doted on this son excessively, making him exceedingly arrogant and despotic in Black Wind City.

Wei Feng never expected Wui Tong to use his power to remove Xu Nian’s position and appoint his own son instead.

How would Xu Nian view this?

After all, Xu Nian had rendered outstanding service to Black Wind City.

Were they not afraid of losing Xu Nian’s loyalty?

Thinking of this, Wei Feng couldn’t help but look towards Xu Nian.

At this moment, Xu Nian truly felt a bit angry.

It wasn’t the position he cared about, but his dissatisfaction with Wui Tong’s decision.

Initially, he thought Wui Lun was arrogant, and his father Wui Tong would be a sensible person.

But it turned out like father, like son.

"General Wei, there’s no need to make things difficult. Since some people want this deputy general position, let them have it. I’d prefer the leisure, and as for the Centurion role, I think I’ll pass," Xu Nian said with a smile.

With that said, he handed over his military order and turned to leave.

Seeing Xu Nian leave, a smug smile immediately appeared on Wui Lun’s face.

In his eyes flickered a hint of killing intent.

"Just an ant, daring to be arrogant in front of me. Taking your position is just the first step. I’ll make sure you understand the consequences of offending me," Wui Lun muttered to himself, his eyes showing a trace of treachery and cunning.

Beside him, Wei Feng frowned deeply, feeling dissatisfaction in his heart.

However, he had no choice.

As Xu Nian descended the city tower, he felt somewhat amused.

He came to the Black Corner Domain originally to obtain the Tao Trace Fruit and then leave as soon as possible.

But in the past ten-plus years, not only did he not pursue the whereabouts of the Tao Trace Fruit, he also worked hard to help Black Wind City refine artifacts.

Of course, he knew he was repaying Elder Wang for discovering his talents earlier.

"Never mind, I’ll check the forbidden land first," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

After saying that, he started moving towards the innermost forbidden land of Black Wind City.

...

Just as Xu Nian left the city tower and headed towards the forbidden land,

thousands of miles outside Black Wind City, there was an army of thousands moving towards Black Wind City.

Leading them was a man riding a black leopard.

Although the black leopard wasn’t huge, its black fur was as smooth as satin.

Its pair of brown eyes were extremely sharp, scanning the surroundings with a chilling effect.

The middle-aged man atop it was imposing, clad in black iron armor.

He had long black hair, disheveled and draping down his back.

He resembled an enraged lion.

Exuding a natural aura of authority.

Yes, this man was the Black Dragon City Lord, Black Dragon.

Beside him, there were two elders.

These two elders appeared immortal and awe-inspiring, making others feel intimidated.

They were the other two Earth Immortal experts of Black Dragon City, with strengths in the Late Stage and Middle Stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, respectively.

"City Lord, that Elder Wang entered the forbidden land five years ago and hasn’t come out since. I believe he most likely won’t return. This is a prime opportunity to annex Black Wind City!" one of the elders said with a smile.

Black Dragon’s lips curled into a smile. He hadn’t launched an attack sooner because of Elder Wang, the Undying One.

Now that the Undying One had entered the forbidden land, it was a heaven-sent opportunity for him.

"Besides Huo Xian, Black Wind City has two Earth Immortals, so I’ll need the two of you to hold them off," Black Dragon said to the two elders beside him with a grin.

"No problem. Wui Tong and Wu Guang are about as strong as us. As soon as they make a move, we’ll hold them off. Rest assured, City Lord, just make your move. However, Huo Xian seems a bit tricky to deal with. It’s said she has broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm," another Earth Immortal expert said.

Black Dragon chuckled softly upon hearing this: "I’ll deal with that Huo Xian. With the Destroying Immortal Needle in hand, killing her should be easy. Though it’s a pity; she is indeed a rare beauty."

"Haha!"

Black Dragon’s words immediately caused the two Earth Immortal experts to laugh heartily.

"By the way, City Lord, I’ve heard from a spy that a Top-grade Artifact Refiner has emerged in Black Wind City. In recent years, he has refined several top-grade spiritual artifacts, greatly increasing the City Guard Army’s strength. You’d better be careful with your army," one of the Earth Immortals said.

But Black Dragon just laughed: "Isn’t it just a Top-grade Artifact Refiner? How many weapons can be refined in five years? At most a hundred, nothing to fear. However, if that Artifact Refiner could pledge allegiance to our Black Dragon City, it would indeed be a boon."

Both Earth Immortals nodded, expressing their agreement.

They were determined to win this war.

"Hmph, once I take Black Wind City, the Abyss Forbidden Land will be mine. I, Black Dragon, must obtain the Tao Trace Fruit and achieve immortality," Black Dragon’s fist clenched, his eyes filled with a strong greed.
