Divine King of Honour-Chapter 485: Lay the Cards on the Table

Xu Nian's roar shook the entire Crown Prince Mansion.

Xiahou Chun, that was the Crown Prince's given name.

Xu Nian openly called the Crown Prince by his given name and demanded Xiahou Chun come out.

Even if Xu Nian was the Divine River Palace Master, such an act was a bit too bold.

"Xu Nian, I kindly set up a banquet to invite you, and is this how you treat me?" Xiahou Chun took a step forward, looking at Xu Nian on the lake surface and coldly called out.

Although he now wished he could tear Xu Nian into pieces.

But in the presence of so many people, he still had to put on a show.

"Kindly set up a banquet? A Hongmen Banquet?" Xu Nian, put away your hypocritical face, do you think I'm unaware that you put Tianyao Powder in my wine, and from the moment I entered, you've been urging me to drink the poisoned wine, and what's more, you've been calculating to use the hatred from the Fang and Ye Families towards me to force me into a fight. Am I wrong in saying this?" Xu Nian coldly countered with a sneer.

His voice was not loud but allowed everyone present to hear.

Surprise showed on the faces of the people around them.

Tianyao Powder?

That was a poison that even Battle Emperor Level powerhouses were unable to contend with.

The Crown Prince had actually brought out Tianyao Powder to deal with this Xu Nian.

They had never thought the Crown Prince had set up a banquet just to deal with Xu Nian.

The young members of the Fang and Ye Families also had incredibly somber expressions.

They had not expected to be used by the Crown Prince.

They just wanted to teach Xu Nian a lesson, not really intending to kill him.

After all, Xu Nian's current status was a bit sensitive, and killing Xu Nian might bring trouble to their family.

But it was different if Xu Nian took Tianyao Powder.

If they were not careful, they might accidentally kill him, and then the only ones to be unfortunate would be the Fang and Ye Families.

Feeling the hostility of the young people around him, Xiahou Chun's face grew even darker.

His own scheme had been seen through by Xu Nian.

He had suddenly been put on the opposite side of these young geniuses, which was not good news for him.

"Xu Nian, you're spouting nonsense. You say I gave you Tianyao Powder, what evidence do you have? I think you're just slandering, besides, I have no grudge against you, it's our first meeting, why would I want to kill you?" Xiahou Chun pointed at Xu Nian and questioned him.

In Xiahou Chun's view, as long as he didn't admit it,

Xu Nian wouldn't be able to do anything since Xu Nian simply couldn't produce any evidence.

The surrounding crowd also looked towards Xu Nian, their eyes showing a bit of skepticism.

Obviously, having heard the Crown Prince's questions, they also began to doubt Xu Nian's words.

"Evidence, fine, I'll give you evidence," Xu Nian sneered contemptuously.

Following that, he opened his mouth.

A stream of liquid flew out from Xu Nian's mouth.

The crowd was taken aback; it was indeed the Spiritual Jade Wine that Xu Nian had just drunk.

He could actually spit it back out?

"What does this prove?" Xiahou Chun narrowed his eyes.

He hadn't expected Xu Nian to be able to spit the wine back out intact.

It shouldn't be possible, as Spiritual Energy was fundamentally unable to envelop Tianyao Powder.

Yet Xu Nian just smiled faintly, a vibration coming from his hand.

Then a blue liquid, like a cluster of stars, separated from the fluid.

"Tianyao Powder, it really is Tianyao Powder, that's undoubtedly the melted Tianyao Powder," someone in the crowd exclaimed.

In a flash!

Everyone's gaze turned towards the direction of the Crown Prince.

Leng Yanran's eyebrows furrowed coldly, her eyes filled with Killing Intent.

The Crown Prince actually went to such great lengths to kill Xu Nian, even using Tianyao Powder.

Although she had never intended to marry the Crown Prince, the way he dealt with Xu Nian,

This made it utterly intolerable for her.

Crown Prince felt the gazes of the crowd around him, and his expression grew even more awkward.

He knew that at this moment, no matter how much he tried to defend himself, it would be useless.

His look toward Xu Nian became filled with even more killing intent.

"That's right, I wanted to kill you, Xu Nian," Xiahou Chun looked at Xu Nian and sneered mockingly, "I really didn't expect you to be able to dodge the Tianyao Powder."

Now that he had been exposed by Xu Nian, there was no need to hide any longer.

Xu Nian, upon hearing Xiahou Chun's words, revealed a slight, amused smile.

Indeed, Tianyao Powder could penetrate Spiritual Energy and Gang Qi.

But it was powerless against Space Power.

Therefore, at the very moment Xu Nian drank the poisoned wine, the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar had already enclosed the poison with Space Power.

From beginning to end, the poison hadn't even touched a bit of Xu Nian's skin.

Of course, Xu Nian naturally wouldn't explain these techniques to Xiahou Chun.

"Xiahou Chun," Xu Nian said coldly, "I don't wish to be your enemy. I'll offer you one condition, cancel your engagement with Leng Yanran, and we will stay out of each other's business."

He had come here today to confront Xiahou Chun.

If Xiahou Chun agreed to cancel the engagement, all would be well.

But if not, Xu Nian was determined to take Leng Yanran away, regardless of having to resort to force.

He wouldn't allow her to marry the Crown Prince.

However, Xu Nian's words immediately caused an uproar.

What was going on?

Was Xu Nian here to steal a bride?

Suddenly, everyone's attention turned to Leng Yanran.

Leng Wuqing and Leng Cangfeng were also surprised and turned to look at Leng Yanran.

Only now did they understand.

Why Leng Yanran had been acting so unusually from the beginning.

It was all because of Xu Nian.

Leng Yanran herself seemed to be in a daze.

She hadn't expected Xu Nian to openly ask the Crown Prince to cancel the marriage in front of so many people.

Wasn't this declaring that her relationship with Xu Nian was out of the ordinary?

Although Xu Nian's actions left her somewhat at a loss, a sweet feeling welled up deep inside her.

"You want me to cancel the engagement? On what grounds? What right do you have, Xu Nian, to make me cancel the engagement?" Xiahou Chun said arrogantly. "Even if you are the Divine River Palace Master, I'm afraid you have no right to interfere with the Imperial Family's affairs!"

The crowd around nodded in agreement.

Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's previous actions,

The Crown Prince's words were, after all, true.

What right did Xu Nian have to make the Crown Prince cancel the engagement?

The engagement between the Crown Prince and Leng Yanran had been settled years ago and was personally decreed by the emperor.

How could it be something Xu Nian could just cancel on a whim?

Initially, if Zhang Tiansheng stood behind Xu Nian, supporting him and pressuring the Imperial Family, perhaps there could have been a possibility.

But was that likely?

The Divine River Palace had always been neutral, not meddling in worldly affairs.

Why would they oppose the Imperial Family over a woman now?

Xu Nian wasn't surprised by the Crown Prince's words.

The Crown Prince had had his sights set on Leng Yanran for years; how could he give her up so easily?

And if the Crown Prince were to cancel the engagement just because of Xu Nian's words, where would that leave his face?

How would he, the Crown Prince, maintain his authority over the realm in the future?

Of course, Xu Nian did not care about these things.

He had to take Leng Yanran away.

And if anyone stood in his way, they would be shown no mercy.
