Divine King of Honour-Chapter 768 - 767: Establishing Power

Within Rashamon City Lord Mansion.

Xu Nian, Hong Xiang, Bu Keng, and the Rashamon City Lord were sitting in the hall.

The hall was enveloped in silence.

From time to time, the cry of a crow could be heard outside.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was exceptionally awkward.

"Who exactly are you?" the Rashamon City Lord asked, looking toward Xu Nian.

The trio's combination was quite peculiar.

A woman, who was also an Array Master.

This was not out of the ordinary.

But, paired with a monk, that was a bit odd.

As far as she knew, there seemed to be no Buddhist sects on their planet.

The most renowned TianChan Sect was in the distant Heavenly Dragon Star System.

Of course, what puzzled her the most was this youth named Xu Nian.

Although he was only Zifu, he gave her an incredibly mysterious feeling.

It had been a long time since she had encountered such a sensation.

"Actually, you don't need to inquire about our origins. We three have come from the Tianhen Continent, so even if you ask, you wouldn't know," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"Tianhen Continent? The Lost Land? Isn't that a continent that's been abandoned? How could someone of your talent come from there?" The Rashamon City Lord was somewhat surprised.

She hadn't expected the three individuals before her to be from that forsaken land.

On the Tianlan Continent, the Tianhen Continent was always considered the Lost Land.

It was nearly impossible for any talent to emerge from there.

There were no resources, and Spiritual Energy was extremely scarce.

Thus, for many years, few from the Tianlan Continent had traveled to the Tianhen Continent.

"Why did you choose to cooperate with the Feng Family just now? And why did you poison Feng Yan? Aren't you afraid the Feng Family will come knocking on your door?" The Rashamon City Lord seemed to take a slight interest in Xu Nian and asked.

Ever since this young man had appeared, it seemed everything was within his plans.

First, he used her to suppress Feng Yan.

Then she intervened to intimidate Feng Yan and forced the Feng Family to cooperate with him through poisoning.

Was his real goal only for that half of the Spiritual Field?

Hong Xiang and Bu Keng also looked toward Xu Nian, filled with doubts about his actions.

"I actually don't want that Spiritual Field nor the Iron Blood Demon Spider. Perhaps not even the Feng Family itself knows what kind of treasure is hidden beneath that field. Isn't that right, Bu Keng?" Xu Nian suddenly turned his head to Bu Keng and spoke.

Hong Xiang and the Rashamon City Lord immediately looked at Bu Keng.

Bu Keng hastily maintained his composure, chuckling, "How would I know anything about that?"

Xu Nian smiled slightly and said, "The last time you secretly entered the Spiritual Field, you already discovered something buried underneath it, but you alone could not obtain such a thing from the Feng Family and Medicine King Valley. That's why you lured us here."

"I did lure you here, but I only wanted the Spiritual Medicine, Amitabha Buddha. Monks don't speak falsehoods," Bu Keng insisted.

Xu Nian smiled faintly, without contention.

"What exactly is beneath this Spiritual Field?" Hong Xiang quickly asked.

The Rashamon City Lord also showed a look of curiosity.

Xu Nian smiled faintly and replied, "Beneath this Spiritual Field lies a Spirit Stone Vein."

"Spirit Stone Vein?" The Rashamon City Lord's eyes suddenly widened, and she stood up from her chair.

Surprise also crossed Hong Xiang's pretty face.

Although Bu Keng feigned a look of surprise, a tinge of regret lurked deep in his eyes.

Naturally, this disappointment did not escape Xu Nian's notice.

"How did you know that there is a vein under this Spiritual Field?" The Rashamon City Lord asked.

"I was curious before," said Xu Nian with a smile, "even if the Ancient Spiritual Field didn't have a Spirit Gathering Array, it's unlikely it could have produced Spiritual Medicine of that level. So out of curiosity, I investigated using my Secret Technique, and sure enough, I discovered a great amount of Spiritual Energy beneath the field. Further investigation revealed a small Spirit Stone Vein below."

Hong Xiang had an epiphany.

She was also a cultivator of Formations.

Naturally, she knew the effects of a Spirit Gathering Array were average.

Originally, she hadn't thought much of it, but now, hearing Xu Nian's words,

she felt there was indeed something fishy about this spiritual field.

"Why would you tell me this?" asked the Rashamon City Lord. "Such important news, you should be very careful with it."

She was no fool.

Xu Nian revealing such crucial information to her,

meant this young man had ulterior motives.

"That's right, I want you to join my power, to become one of us!" Xu Nian said.

"Your power? What power?" the Rashamon City Lord asked.

"Uh? I haven't come up with a name yet, but I think you have great potential, so I don't want to miss out on talent," Xu Nian explained awkwardly.

The Rashamon City Lord's lip twitched.

He hadn't even decided on a name, and he wanted to recruit her?

That seemed rather hasty. freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Sorry, I'm not interested. I don't want the Spirit Stone Vein either. You all should leave this place," the Rashamon City Lord directly issued an order to leave.

Hong Xiang shook her head helplessly, preparing to stand up and leave.

Xu Nian, however, just smiled slightly, not at all surprised by the turn of events.

"No worries, you don't have to rush your answer, but let me tell you something—if you join my power, I can help you get revenge," Xu Nian said with a smile.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But the Rashamon City Lord's pupils shrank and she quickly said, "Wait a moment!"

Xu Nian stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around,

a faint smile hanging on his lips.

Hong Xiang and Bu Keng, who had been ready to leave, were stunned, not understanding why the Rashamon City Lord suddenly changed her mind.

"How did you know I carry a vendetta?" the Rashamon City Lord asked.

"It's simple, Zither Sound! Your zither music contains strong killing intent and indignation, and along with your identity, it is not difficult to deduce you carry a vendetta," said Xu Nian with a smile.

The Rashamon City Lord's brows furrowed tightly.

For the first time, she looked at Xu Nian with particularly serious eyes.

This youth's insight was frighteningly acute!

Based on their brief encounter before, he had deduced that she carried a vendetta?

You should know she had never spoken about this matter to anyone.

"If I'm not mistaken, the vendetta you bear must be regarding your father!" Xu Nian said once again.

Then he turned to look at the Rashamon City Lord.

The Rashamon City Lord took two steps back.

Her look at Xu Nian was filled with shock.

Everyone else thought her father had left the Tianlan Star System.

But only she knew that her father had been murdered.

This secret had been buried deep in her heart, and she thought of revenge at all times.

However, her enemy was too powerful, and she was completely unable to seek revenge.

"You might not believe what I'm saying, but it's true. I may not be able to help you avenge him just yet, but one day, I believe that I will definitely be able to help you claim vengeance with your own hands," said Xu Nian in a calm tone, yet it conveyed an undeniable conviction.

The Rashamon City Lord looked straight at Xu Nian for a few seconds before saying, "Fine, if you can help me get revenge, I'm willing to join your power."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's lips also revealed a slight smile.
