Divine King of Honour-Chapter 313 Nine Heavens Dragon Locking Pass
"Sister Xin, where did you go? Do you know we have been looking for you?"
The young man who spoke was none other than the Four Star Battle King, leading the group of three youths.
As for Xu Nian and Chen Wudi, they were completely ignored.
"I'm fine, I was just taking care of some personal matters," Xu Xin replied indifferently.
"Nonsense, did you go to find that Xu Nian? How many times have I told you, if we see him, we will surely bring him back. Why do you still act on your own? If you encounter any danger, how could I explain it to the Family Head?" The elder scolded.
He was one of the Xu Family's Elders, responsible for overseeing their travels.
And Xu Xin was one of the family's most prized and valued members.
If anything happened to Xu Xin, it would be an immense loss for the Xu Family.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Tian!" Xu Xin responded.
However, there wasn't a trace of remorse in her eyes.
Xu Tian saw this scene and could only shake his head helplessly.
"Sister Xin, Grandpa Tian is also worried about your safety. Haven't we agreed? I will help you find Xu Nian, so you can rest assured," said the Four Star Battle King with a smile.
He reached out to touch Xu Xin's arm as he spoke.
Xu Xin instinctively stepped back, avoiding the young man's hand.
The young man gave an embarrassed smile and withdrew his arm.
He didn't get angry, apparently accustomed to such reactions.
"Sister Xin, did you find Xu Nian this time?" asked the Three-star Body King.
A faint smile hung on his face, but there was a sly glint deep in his eyes.
Clearly, his question was anything but well-intentioned.
However, Xu Xin did not notice.
She just shook her head slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
Hearing her answer, the young man exchanged a meaningful glance with Xu Fenn
next to him.
Others didn't notice their nonverbal communication, but Xu Nian saw everything clearly.
Xu Nian sneered inwardly.
Xu Xin probably had no idea that Xu Fenn had already come looking for him, did she?
And Xu Fenn's visit surely involved this Three-star Body King.
As for whether the Four-star Battle King and the elder were part of it, Xu Nian couldn't tell yet.
"Sister Xin, who are these two?" asked the Three-star Body King, looking at Xu Nian and Chen Wudi with a touch of confusion and caution in his eyes.
The other three from the Xu Family also turned to look at Xu Nian and Chen Wudi, their gazes filled with curiosity.
"He is my savior, one is called Lin Long, the other, Zhang Di," Xu Xin introduced them to the Xu Family members.
"Zhang Di? An ordinary cultivator dares to have 'Di' in his name!" sneered the Three-star Body King disdainfully.
Xu Fenn chuckled coldly along with him, openly showing his contempt for Chen Wudi.
Chen Wudi felt a wave of anger.
But he was stopped by a look from Xu Nian.
Clearly, now was not the time to clash with them.
As for the Four-star Battle King, he paid little attention to the two of them and turned to ask Xu Xin, "Sister Xin, what's this about saving your life just now? Did you encounter danger earlier?"
"Yes, I was ambushed by Ye Nantian and his people before. Luckily, they saved me, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable," Xu Xin replied.
"Ye Nantian? Is that guy looking for death?" Anger surged in the eyes of the Four-star Battle King.
The other three were also furious, not expecting Xu Xin to have had such an experience.

"Hmph, if I see Ye Nantian again, I guarantee he won't have a place to be buried," declared the Four Star Battle King fiercely.
"Right, daring to assassinate someone from our Xu Family is tantamount to suicide," the Three-star Body King added angrily.
"You won't get the chance. That Ye Nantian has already been killed by him," Chen Wudi couldn't help but interject.
He had been annoyed by their disregard for him and Xu Nian and saw this as an opportunity to strike back at them.
"What?"
As expected, once these words were spoken, everyone from the Xu Family glanced at Xu Nian, then turned their heads toward Xu Xin.

When they saw Xu Xin nod her head, surprise flashed across their faces.
How old was this youth?
He seemed even younger than Xu Xin, right?
Could he really have killed Ye Nantian?
Of course, killing Ye Nantian didn't necessarily mean that he was stronger than Ye Nantian.
Perhaps Xu Xin had already been severely injured in a fight with Ye Nantian, and this guy just happened to take advantage of the situation.
So, they were somewhat surprised but not overly shocked.
"Regardless, I still have to thank you for saving Sister Xin. My name is Xu Long, and if anyone dares to bully you, just mention my name," the Four-star Battle King said to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian gave a slight smile.
He could tell that Xu Long was an upfront person.
Although somewhat arrogant, his character was fundamentally decent.
Of course, he could also tell that Xu Long had some admiration for his sister, Xu Xin.
However, it seemed like his sister, Xu Xin, didn't have any interest in this guy.
Xu Nian had no intention of getting involved in Xu Xin's personal affairs.
Of course, if anyone dared to harm his sister or harbor malicious intentions,
he wouldn't mind showing them just how terrifying the wrath of Xu Nian could be.
"Alright, now that you are here, let's continue on our way. Ahead lies the Nine Heavens Dragon Locking Pass, a life-and-death juncture, and we must be careful," the Elder Tian said.
All eyes turned towards the interior of the valley.
Indeed, there were nine different paths ahead.
Each led deep inside, with no visible end.
It was as if nine giant dragons lay sprawling upon the ground.
"Nine Heavens Dragon Locking Pass? A nine-in-ten chance of death?" Xu Nian revealed a look of surprise.
He hadn't expected Death Valley to be this perilous.
Presumably, of the nine paths, only one led to the true destination.
The rest might lead to death or hell.
Powerful restrictions had been laid all around, making it impossible even for Saints to fly.
Therefore, these nine paths were the necessary routes leading deeper into Death Valley.
They had to choose one of these paths.
If they chose wrongly, it would be a catastrophe.
"Shall we take this one?" The Three-star Body King pointed at the far left of the nine paths.
The elder glanced at the path and then nodded.
Out of the nine paths.
Only the far-left one was the least conspicuous and overgrown with green grass.
This suggested that there was life in the path, making it seemingly the safest choice.
The other members of the Xu Family had no objections.
They clearly agreed with the perspective of the Three-star Body King.
Xu Nian, however, slightly furrowed his brows.
He always felt that there was something off about that path.
Precisely because it looked too safe, it instead made Xu Nian feel uneasy.
"Lin Long, what's wrong?"
Just as everyone was heading towards that path, Lin Xin noticed something off about Xu Nian.
The rest of the Xu Family immediately stopped in their tracks, looking puzzled at Xu Nian.
"We can't take that path, to enter it is to face certain death,"
Yet at that moment, Xu Nian firmly declared.
