Divine King of Honour-Chapter 526: His Holiness the Pope

"Lord Governor has arrived!"

Just as Hua Gesang was still feeling angry about Lianna's words,

a shout came from the distant crowd.

Subsequently, Xu Nian and his companions saw two rows of soldiers charging into the crowd, dispersing people to create a path.

In the center of the crowd walked a fat man.

Though corpulent, his cultivation was extraordinarily high.

He had already reached the Three-star Battle Saint Peak.

His stride was as commanding as a dragon's, radiating a formidable oppressive aura.

A young girl walked beside him.

She was adorned in a red long gown, which was both magnificent and regal.

Gems like jewelry hung from her wrists and neck.

As she walked, her pale neck slightly lifted, her gaze lofty.

Like a proud phoenix.

She greatly relished the admiring glances from the people around her.

Xu Nian glanced at her and immediately discerned her cultivation.

She, too, had reached the One-star Battle General Level.

If Xu Nian was not mistaken, this girl must be the Governor's daughter who had hired the Iron Blood Mercenary Group to kill Hua Gesang.

Hua Gesang had certainly noticed this woman, her eyes flashing with intense fury.

Upon learning that the Governor's daughter had dispatched a powerful warrior to kill her, she was consumed by anger.

However, the opponent's power was too strong, and she was powerless to seek revenge.

At this moment, she could only suppress her fury deep within her heart.

Sensing Hua Gesang's angry gaze, the young girl looked toward Hua Gesang.

When she saw that Hua Gesang was still alive, she clearly paused, surprised.

But quickly, a hint of disdain flickered in her eyes.

She turned and whispered something to her fat father.

The father also looked toward Hua Gesang, his eyes nearly hidden by his chubby cheeks squinting even more.

Xu Nian saw this and slightly furrowed his brows.

"Uncle Adam, what is the name of Beimo's Governor, and what is he like?" Xu Nian turned and asked the Adam beside him.

"The Governor? His name is rarely known, but I was fortunate to hear it once; his name is Entas. He's cunning and ruthless, resembling a smiling Buddha. Whoever offends him meets a dismal fate, so we generally don't want to provoke him. I just didn't expect his daughter to also participate in the Holy Daughter election. I'm afraid he might harm the other contestants for his daughter's sake, and that puts Ge Sang in great danger," Adam said with concern.

Xu Nian nodded upon hearing this.

What Adam didn't know was that the Governor had already made a move against his daughter.

It was only resolved by Xu Nian.

"It seems Ge Sang's path to becoming the Holy Daughter is not going to be an easy one," Xu Nian mused to himself.

He still hoped Hua Gesang could be elected as the Holy Daughter.

After all, through their time together, Xu Nian realized she was actually not a bad girl.

Aside from being a bit temperamental and proud, she could make the right choices when it mattered.

And she truly was a kind-hearted woman at heart.

Therefore, Xu Nian still hoped she would realize her wish to be elected as the Holy Daughter.

Thinking this, while Hua Gesang was not paying attention, Xu Nian gently slapped her on the back.

A faint cyan light transferred into Hua Gesang's body.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

This was a trace of Xu Nian's spiritual energy, which could save Hua Gesang's life at a critical moment.

Hua Gesang did not notice it at all.

Time slowly ticked by.

Then, the great doors of the Luotian Holy Scripture opened.

Out stepped two rows of knights clad in silver battle armor.

Shockingly, all these knights were uniform in their cultivation at the Battle General Level.

Knights dispersed on both sides, and eighteen warriors clothed in golden battle armor walked out from the center.

These warriors were all of Battle King Level.

Behind these Battle Kings, six men and women dressed in large red robes emerged.

Without exception, these six were all powerful beings of Saint Level.

"One hundred and eight Silver-armored Warriors, eighteen Golden Armor Soldiers, even the six Holy Temple Law Kings have appeared," someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Clearly, these Silver-armored Warriors, Golden Armor Soldiers, and Holy Temple Law Kings were the titles used within the Luotian Sect.

"Six Saints? And there are even two at the Saint Peak Level, it seems the strength of this Luotian Sect is truly formidable," Xu Nian inwardly praised.

The Luotian Sect actually had six Saints, their strength undoubtedly far surpassing the past Three Great Sects.

Even Xu Nian's Artifact Refining Sect was far inferior.

Of course, if Xu Nian were included, that would be a different story.

"His Holiness the Pope has arrived!"

At this moment, a loud voice resounded.

"Dang!"

A loud bell also tolled within the Luotian Sect.

"Shua!"

Suddenly, everyone around knelt down and chanted in unison, "Greetings to His Holiness the Pope!"

Even Hua Gesang and Adam knelt down.

Xu Nian stood there alone, suddenly appearing very conspicuous.

Hua Gesang quickly tugged at Xu Nian, signaling him to kneel.

Xu Nian, however, stood stiff as wood, with a blank face staring forward.

The only ones not kneeling were, naturally, the Prefectural Governors.

Entas also noticed Xu Nian.

When he saw that Xu Nian was just a youth, a look of surprise clearly emerged on his face.

However, he didn't have much time to think more deeply, as footsteps echoed from the depths of the great hall.

Xu Nian also turned to look in the direction of the great hall.

He saw a tall woman in a white silk robe emerge from within.

She wore a crown embedded with nine pigeon egg-sized gems on her head.

In her hand, she held a metal scepter, embedded with a dazzling stone that shone bright as the daytime sun at its top.

"The Great Brightness Stone," Xu Nian's eyes suddenly lit up.

However, that glint of excitement was quickly hidden by him.

When he looked at the Pope's face, however, he was stunned for a moment.

"Such a beautiful, noble woman," Xu Nian mused to himself.

The Pope, although appearing to be in her thirties, showed no difference from a woman in her twenties.

She even carried a mature charm about her.

But these were not what Xu Nian truly cared about, what he cared about was that the Pope was a One-star Battle Emperor.

That made Xu Nian quite troubled.

Taking the Great Brightness Stone from the hands of a One-star Battle Emperor would be very difficult.

And since the Pope was a leader and held the Great Brightness Stone, her strength could not be weak.

The Pope's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed sharply on Xu Nian.

Somebody did not kneel?

Feeling the Pope's gaze, Xu Nian quickly concealed his entire aura.

Pretending to be completely foolish, he scratched his head.

Since the activation of the Black Jade, Xu Nian could use the Kun Cave within the Black Jade to absorb his entire aura.

Thus, even if a Battle Emperor Level fighter were present, it would be difficult to detect his cultivation, and they would assume he was just an ordinary person.

Therefore, after the Pope glanced at Xu Nian, she simply ignored him.

She assumed Xu Nian was just a clueless fool.
