Divine King of Honour

As Xu Nian raced towards the Imperial Capital,

Within the city, in the area controlled by the Divine River Palace,

A disaster was unfolding.

A huge transparent light shield enveloped the Divine River Palace.

The shield quivered as if on the verge of collapse.

Outside this shield, there hovered ten powerful figures.

Without exception, these were all Emperor-level strong men.

At that moment, four of the Emperor-level strong men were concurrently using an artifact that resembled a mirror.

With the continuous activation of the Spiritual Artifact, a powerful light incessantly assaulted the Formation.

This defense, usually strong enough to withstand the full onslaught of a Supreme Battle Emperor,

Now trembled under the attack of the four Battle Emperors.

"Brother Qi, won't there be a problem attacking the Divine River Palace?" asked a short-haired man standing next to the four Battle Emperor Experts.

"What's there to fear? The old Hall Master of the Divine River Palace has left this continent, and its Battle Emperors are in secluded cultivation, whereabouts unknown. What else is there to worry about? Besides, hasn't your Fang Family always wanted to kill Xu Nian? This is the perfect opportunity," Qi Lei said with a cold laugh.

The short-haired man was none other than Fang Tianlun, the first powerhouse of the Fang Family

And he was considered a close brother to Qi Lei.

When Qi Lei came looking for him and revealed his purpose,

Fang Tianlun was extremely surprised.

As for the four Battle Emperor Level strong men,

They were not from the Fang Family but assigned by Emperor Tianhen.

This clearly reflected the stance of the Emperor

Otherwise, Fang Tianlun, despite his deep relationship with Qi Lei, would not have dared to attack the Divine River Palace.

"But Xu Nian is not someone to be trifled with now. Once we enrage him, I'm afraid our Fang Family will suffer," Fang Tianlun still expressed his worry.

During the last battle at the Artifact Refining Sect,

Xu Nian turned the tide.

With his own strength, he killed several Battle Saints and Battle Kings of their Fang Family, including a Battle Emperor Expert.

Even a Nine-star War Emperor Level expert from the Imperial Family was slain.

Now, as a Seven Stars Battle Emperor himself, if he were to truly anger Xu Nian, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Look at you, acting so cowardly. You call yourself the top warrior of the Fang Family. Now that Emperor Tianhen has spoken, if Xu Nian dares to return, he will activate the Imperial Capital Array to eliminate him. Besides, with me here, do you think I would be afraid? The only trouble is that old turtle by his side," Qi Lei snorted coldly.

He had no regard for Xu Nian.

The only one he feared was Xu Nian's companion, Xuan Hong.

But Emperor Tianhen had already made it clear.

There would be someone to deal with Xuan Hong.

So, if Xu Nian dared to show up, then he was doomed.

If he didn't, then his family and loved ones would face a grim fate right here today.

He couldn't believe that Xu Nian could endure that.

"Xu Nian, just wait, your end is coming soon, and the Seven-colored Bodhi Tree in your hands will belong to me, Qi Lei," Qi Lei clenched his fist tight, his eyes shining with brilliance.

Fang Tianlun, hearing Qi Lei's words, felt somewhat relieved.

But he still felt uneasy.

He couldn't shake the feeling that things weren't going as smoothly as they had imagined.

…

Inside the Great Hall of the Divine Hall,

Several people were gathered.

Included among them were Xu Nian's mother and his elder sister.

And of course, Leng Yanran.

Now, Xu Xin's Cultivation had also broken through to the saintly level.

As for Leng Yanran, her cultivation had already reached the Four-star Battle Saint Realm.

Of course, this was largely thanks to the cultivation resources Xu Nian had left them, coupled with the heritage of Divine River Palace.

Otherwise, even with their remarkable talents, they couldn't possibly have cultivated so quickly.

But what of it?

At this moment, six Battle Emperors were attacking the Divine River Palace.

And yet, Divine River Palace didn't have a single Battle Emperor of its own.

The Defense Array, though strong, would ultimately be breached by the Spiritual Artifacts of the attackers.

Once the Great Formation was broken through, they were bound to die.

"Elder, how much longer can this Great Formation hold?" Leng Yanran asked.

"It won't hold much longer. Given their momentum, it can only support us for another four or five two-hour periods at most. Once that time has passed, we'll be at their mercy," the Elder replied, his voice tinged with helplessness and anger.

Divine River Palace had always kept to itself, never causing trouble for anyone.

Yet unexpectedly, today someone dared to attack the Palace's Great Formation.

"So you're saying we only have four or five two-hour periods left?" Xu Xin's eyebrows knitted lightly in concern.

They all knew that these attackers were targeting Xu Nian.

But none of them wished to involve Xu Nian.

Initially, they didn't want to send a message to Xu Nian.

But then they thought about how much more devastating it would be for Xu Nian if he learned they had been hurt.

So, they chose to send word to Xu Nian after all.

Now, Xu Nian was on his way here.

As for when he would arrive, that was unknown to them.

All they could do now was hope that Xu Nian could make it before the Great Formation was breached.

"I wonder if Nian'er can take on these people, it seems they have the backing of the Imperial Family," Xu Nian's mother said worriedly.

She wasn't concerned about her own safety, but she was worried about Xu Nian's.

"Mother, rest assured, brother's strength is incredible right now. These guys are no match for him. Moreover, he's extremely smart. Even when the Imperial Family sent people to assassinate him, he resolved the situation multiple times. So, I believe he will be able to do so this time as well," Xu Xin said confidently.

"That's right, Mother, Xu Nian will definitely be fine. I believe in him. He has already sent word asking us not to worry too much," Leng Yanran likewise affirmed.

Since Leng Yanran had agreed to be Xu Nian's woman, she naturally considered herself part of the Xu Family now.

Xu Nian's mother nodded in agreement.

She was very pleased with Leng Yanran.

As their conversation continued, the atmosphere in the great hall become somewhat more relaxed.

Right now, all they could do was wait for Xu Nian to arrive.

Otherwise, Divine River Palace would ultimately be unable to escape death.

...

And at that moment, Xu Nian was also racing desperately toward the Imperial Capital.

By his side, aside from Ice Blue.

Naturally, there was also Xuan Hong who had caught up later.

Originally, Xuan Hong had been sleeping in the Great Hall, and he came over quite reluctantly upon hearing the news of Xu Nian.

"Kid, why do you have so many enemies?" Xuan Hong couldn't help but complain.

"Senior Xuan Hong, when we get to the Imperial Capital, do you have a way to deal with the Imperial Capital Array?" Xu Nian, however, was not in the mood for idle chatter.

"Isn't it just a City Protection Array? How could it possibly hurt me? Kid, rest assured, since I promised to ensure your safety for half a year, it'll be hard for you to die even if you wanted to within this half-year," Xuan Hong said proudly.

Xu Nian felt relieved upon hearing this.

He knew that the Imperial Family must be behind this incident.

This meant that the Great Formation of the Imperial Capital was his greatest threat.

"Ice Blue, you lead the forces outside the city in defense. As soon as the White Flood Dragon King arrives, you lead them to strike at the Fang Family. Leave none alive," Xu Nian ordered with a heavy killing intent in his eyes.

"Yes!" Ice Blue nodded quickly in response.

She knew that this time Xu Nian was truly enraged.
