Divine King of Honour

Chapter 324 The Gate Opens

A storm had just been quelled.

However, everyone was still immersed in the events that had just occurred.

The impact on them was simply too great.

First, the young man had a conflict with the Ye Family, followed by the Xu family forcing the Ye Family to leave.

Then, right in front of the Xu family, he killed a disciple of the Xu family.

In the end, he managed to force the Xu family to swallow their anger by brandishing his identity as the Artifact Refining Sect Master.

Such tactics were truly unimaginable.

Especially his last statement, which sent chills down everyone's spine.

"Though my Artifact Refining Sect may not be as powerful as your Xu family, even if we all fall in battle, we will still make your Xu family lose an arm and a leg."

A sect led by such a sect master would undoubtedly be fierce and formidable.

But how old is he?

The Xu family members fell silent.

So did the Ye Family members.

Even the two people from the Fang Family standing alone were now silent as well.

Let alone they had no idea who the murderer of their family member was, even if they did, it would be of no help now.

Three of the Four Great Families had been crippled!

And by the same person, no less.

If the public were to learn the truth of the matter,

who knows what they would think.

In fact, not only the three great families, but Tianjian Sect had also been badly damaged by Xu Nian.

Of the young generation from Tianjian Sect, eight had come.

Now only two remained.

The losses could be described as tragic.

...

In a corner of the square, a young man was standing at this moment.

Behind the young man was an old man following close behind.

The young man had seen everything that had just happened.

He was handsome with eyes like stars.

A faint, unconstrained smile always lingered on his lips.

He gave off an aura of untamed defiance.

As for the old man, he was somewhat hunched, with clouded eyes.

He looked as though he was almost stepping into a coffin.

"Wait," Yann Hong answered.

"Wait?" Xu Nian was still utterly astonished.

"Yes, every time the full moon lights up the night, and when it appears directly above the valley, moonlight shines upon the gate, it will open automatically. This process lasts only as long as it takes an incense stick to burn," Yann Hong responded.

"Huh? There's such a thing?" A realization dawned in Xu Nian's mind.

He had never expected the key to the Demon Emperor's Tomb's gate to be the moonlight.

Emperor Bai must've possessed incredible ingenuity and wonder when he was building this tomb.

"Once inside, is it possible to come back out?" Xu Nian then asked another question.

Yann Hong shook her head and said, "Unless someone obtains the Dragon Vein and breaks the seal, everyone will be trapped inside until the next full moon night. However, the tomb is fraught with great danger, and nearly no one can survive until the next full moon night."

"Huh?" Xu Nian was stunned for a moment.

So the Demon Emperor's Tomb was that perilous.

In other words, once inside, one either obtained the Dragon Vein or died there.

This was not a treasure trove at all, it was a place of certain death!

Yet for the sake of the Dragon Vein, so many powers were still willing to risk everything.

Xu Nian shook his head in resignation.

Men die for wealth, as birds die for food; it's an unchanging truth throughout the ages.

"When is the next full moon night?" Xu Nian asked.

"It is tonight!" Yann Hong replied.

Xu Nian was taken aback; he hadn't expected the full moon night to be this very evening.

Didn't that mean they would have to enter the Demon Emperor's Tomb tonight?

Furthermore, it made sense—the major powers had come prepared, and naturally, they had calculated the timing with extreme precision.

"It seems entering the tomb will lead to a true battle to the death!" Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Yet his gaze was exceptionally firm.

Having come this far, he naturally also wanted to compete for the Dragon Vein.

Now that he had offended so many powers, if he didn't possess great strength in the future,

how would he protect the ones he cared about?

Time ticked by, and night swiftly fell.

A giant Silver Moon slowly climbed to the center of the valley.

Moonlight spilled from above, and sounds like music from ancient times began to fill the air.

All stood up and looked toward the towering Stone Gate.

Creak!

The massive Stone Gate gradually started to move.

And everyone's hearts suddenly hung in suspense.
