Divine King of Honour-Chapter 582: Yann Xi Goes Missing
"Brothers, my name is Xu Nian, and I am Miss Yann Xi’s friend. Could you please announce my arrival?"
Xu Nian stopped Xu Yu and the others, speaking politely to the two men.
Since this was Uncle Yann Xi’s territory after all, Xu Nian did not want any unpleasantness.
"A friend of Miss Yann Xi? Hmph, who are you trying to fool? Miss Yann Xi never entertains guests and has no friends to speak of. Besides, Miss Yann Xi passed away over a month ago. Claiming to be her friend, what exactly are your intentions?" One of the guards retorted coldly.
"Dead?" Xu Nian’s head buzzed.
His complexion turned extremely dark.
"How did Yann Xi die?" Xu Nian quickly demanded.
Although Yann Xi was cursed, Xu Nian had used the Jade Seal to suppress her curse.
He had even taught her Cultivation; there should have been no issues for at least ten years.
How could she have just died?
Xu Nian instinctively felt something was amiss.
"Hmph, you don’t need to know how she died. Get lost, this isn’t a place for you," another guard said coldly, ready to drive him away.
"Damn it, have you grown tired of living, not knowing who you’re speaking to?" Bull Demon King, seeing Xu Nian’s face darken,
immediately grew angry and lifted the two guards off their feet, one in each hand.
The guards struggled desperately, but they couldn’t escape Bull Demon King’s grip.
Their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Bull Demon King.
"How exactly did Yann Xi die? Speak, or you won’t leave here alive today," Xu Nian said, repressing the anger in his heart.
"We don’t know how she died either; it was General Zhen Yuan who announced it personally. We’re just gatekeepers; how would we know these things?" the guard hurriedly explained.
Hearing this, Xu Nian’s brow furrowed slightly.
Bull Demon King, even more furious,
"Damn it, are you going to speak or not? Otherwise, I’ll crush your heads," Bull Demon King shouted.
The guards’ expressions filled with fear, but they were helpless.
"Brother Niu, let them go; they truly don’t know," Xu Nian said, observing the guards’ expressions.
Relieved by these words, the guards felt as if they had been granted amnesty.
Bull Demon King humphed dismissively and flung the guards away carelessly.
With that fling, the guards were sent flying, vanishing into the horizon.
As for whether the guards lived or died, they would have to leave it up to fate.
Xu Nian then continued to lead Xu Yu and the other four towards the General Mansion.
This time, they were no longer polite.
Any guard who tried to stop them along the way was blasted away before they could even approach Xu Nian.
Xu Nian also used his Spiritual Sense Power to locate Yann Xi’s uncle.
Inside the Central Hall of General Zhen Yuan’s residence,
a middle-aged man was seated.
Right now, he looked somewhat defeated and aged.
Hearing a commotion from outside, Yann Zhenyuan rubbed his swollen head and asked irritably, "What is causing such a racket outside?"
"Boom!"
Before his words finished, a thunderous noise was heard.
One of his personal guards was sent flying into the room from outside.
Following that, an unnamed man walked in from the hall entrance.
"Who are you? Why have you come to cause trouble at the General Mansion?" Yann Zhen Yuan roared sharply, his eyes sizing up the five men before him.
"Where is Yann Xi?" Xu Nian didn’t beat around the bush, directly asking with a cold tone.
He had entrusted Yann Xi to Yann Zhen Yuan, which was a display of trust.
Yet to his surprise, today, two years later, he heard the news that Yann Xi had died.
Therefore, Xu Nian couldn’t help but hold some resentment in his heart towards Yann Zhen Yuan.
Of course, he also knew that Yann Zhen Yuan couldn’t be blamed for this matter.
After all, back then, he himself was only at the Battle Sect Level.
"Are you... from the Governor Mansion?" Yann Zhen Yuan murmured to himself.
Xu Nian’s brows furrowed, not understanding why Yann Zhen Yuan would mistake him for someone from the Governor Mansion.
Could Yann Xi’s sister’s death be related to the Governor Mansion?
"No, Uncle Yann, I don’t know if you remember, but back at Ice Dust Lake, did you not take Yann Xi from my hands?" Xu Nian spoke up.
"It’s you?" Upon hearing this, Yann Zhen Yuan finally remembered the youth he had met at Ice Dust Lake.
More than two years had passed, and his memory had become vague.
However, now that Xu Nian had mentioned it, he remembered that it was thanks to this young man that he was able to see Yann Xi.
"Yes, Uncle Yann, can you tell me how exactly Yann Xi died?" Xu Nian asked.
He had no time for reminiscing with Yann Zhen Yuan; his most pressing concern was finding out how Yann Xi had died.
"Alas!" Hearing Xu Nian’s question, Yann Zhen Yuan sighed deeply.
Xu Nian’s brows creased again, noticing that Yann Zhen Yuan had aged far more than he should have in just two years.
A cultivator, with only two years passing, and yet his temples had gone white.
This was definitely an abnormal situation.
Moreover, Yann Zhen Yuan’s cultivation had already broken through to the Three-star Battle King Level.

Logically, he should appear even younger.
"Actually, it’s possible that Yann Xi isn’t dead," Yann Zhen Yuan finally said.
"Eh?" Xu Nian was momentarily stunned, his spirit invigorated.
"What exactly is going on? Why did the guard at the gate say it’s been a month since Yann Xi died and that it was you who announced it personally?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.
Behind him, Xu Yu and others like Black Wind were equally baffled.
"This matter is rather complicated, but Xi herself might not be dead. Her Soul Jade Pendant is still intact, but she herself has disappeared," Yann Zhen Yuan explained.
"Disappeared? Who did it? How could she just vanish without cause?" Xu Nian asked, still confused.
It seemed there was more to this matter than met the eye.
"It started when Xi came back. For some reason, after her return, she, who previously couldn’t cultivate, suddenly showed an unbelievable talent. Moreover, she cultivated with extreme rigor. In just two years’ time, she had gone from being a warrior to breaking through to the Battle King Level," Yann Zhen Yuan spoke.
Xu Yu and the others showed surprised expressions upon hearing this.
However, Xu Nian was not surprised; seeing how Yann Xi had broken through four realms in a single night of cultivation, taught by him, it was clear her talent was exceptionally extraordinary.
"And then what happened?" Xu Nian pressed.
"Later on, somehow Xi’s talent became widely known. Moreover, as Xi grew up, she became more and more beautiful. Somehow, the Lord Governor’s son heard of this and traveled to Tianhuang City to ask for her hand in marriage. He tried to coerce and bribe me, wanting to marry Xi off to him," Yann Zhen Yuan said.
As he spoke, a clear sense of anger surged in his eyes.
"Did you agree?" Xu Nian asked, frowning.
"No, because Xi disagreed, so I refused the Governor’s son. But to my surprise, he was insistent and one day came to my mansion with a Holy Realm Level powerhouse, and they took Xi away by force," Yann Zhen Yuan spoke out.
Upon hearing these words, a strong fury surged in Xu Nian’s eyes.
"Then do you mean to say Yann Xi is currently at the Governor Mansion?" Xu Nian asked severely.
However, Yann Zhen Yuan shook his head.
