Divine King of Honour

Chapter 330 The Hypocritical Xie Tiancheng

Xu Nian packed away the God King Tripod and then led the people of the Artifact Refining Sect deeper into the tomb.

He did not regret killing the three from the Tianjian Sect in the slightest.

All three deserved to die, especially the Young Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect, who was simply too arrogant.

It must be said that the power of the God King Tripod was incredibly domineering.

Below the level of a Saint, few could withstand its attack.

This undoubtedly added another ace to Xu Nian's hand.

Xu Nian continued to press forward.

Chen Wudi, however, returned to the inside of the Star Tower.

He was of no help outside.

Better to enter into cultivation.

Xu Nian agreed, given the multitude of dangers within the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

If they encountered any danger,

Xu Nian might not be able to ensure his safety on time.

So, only Xu Nian and his party of five continued onward.

Soon, Xu Nian and his group once again came upon a grand hall.

The layout inside this hall was exactly the same as the previous one they had constructed.

The only difference was that there was a huge stele in the center of this hall.

The stele was covered with dense, varying sword marks crisscrossing all over it.

In front of the stele, there were quite a few people standing.

Probably a dozen or so.

These were all Loose Cultivators who had gathered.

Most of them were at Battle General Level.

However, there were also three who were Marquis Level powerhouses.

The leader was a young man.

Twenty-eight or twenty-nine, handsome and imposing.

His strength was also rather extraordinary.

He had already reached the Four-star Battle King level.

A Loose Cultivator reaching Four-star Battle King before the age of thirty,

demonstrated that his talent was truly exceptional.

The other two Battle Kings were also a One-star Battle King and a Two-star Body King.

These people stood in front of the stele.

Each one frowning, as if they were contemplating something.

Seeing Xu Nian and his group approach, they stepped aside.

The young man also turned his head to look at Xu Nian and the others.

When his gaze fell on Yann Hong, his eyes suddenly brightened.

The Artifact Refining Sect Elders were also surprised but said nothing.

Yann Hong's face showed no emotion, as she didn't have much fondness for Xie Tiancheng either.

Xie Tiancheng's face turned cold—he had not expected Xu Nian to reject him.

Yet, he suppressed the rage in his heart and once again adopted a humble demeanor, "Perhaps the Sect Master does not know, I am twenty-eight this year, a Four-star Battle King, and have achieved some success in understanding the Sword Dao, having reached the Second Level of Sword Force."

Though Xie Tiancheng appeared humble, his heart was filled with arrogance.

He waited for Xu Nian to show a surprised look.

However, after his words had dropped, the anticipated surprised expression from Xu Nian did not appear.

"Eh?"

Xie Tiancheng was stunned.

Why wasn't Xu Nian surprised?

The Second Level of Sword Force was a realm that many of the older generation of strong practitioners had not reached.

Everyone around showed surprised expressions, yet the Artifact Refining Sect Master remained expressionless.

Was he deliberately pretending to be profound?

Xie Tiancheng thought so and immediately concluded that Xu Nian was feigning depth in front of him.

His heart instantly filled with disdain for Xu Nian.

However, Xu Nian's next words made him completely unable to contain his anger.

"Is the Second Level of Sword Force so great?" Xu Nian said with a light laugh.

Everyone around was stunned at this.

Anger flashed across Xie Tiancheng's eyes as he coldly snorted, "If the Sect Master looks down on me, he could have just refused directly; why the need to humiliate me like this? I, Xie Tiancheng, may not belong to any great faction, but it's not anyone's place to bully me."

The people around nodded in agreement.

They felt that Xu Nian was being a bit too extreme.

Xu Nian smirked, finding Xie Tiancheng quite hypocritical.

Despite his hypocritical facade, he portrayed himself as being very wronged.

Even the three Great Elders felt that Xu Nian might have overdone it.

"Do you think I can't see your intent? Did you wish to join my Artifact Refining Sect genuinely wanting to be a disciple, or did you have an ulterior motive? Did you really think my Artifact Refining Sect was a place for you to flirt and pursue women?" Xu Nian's voice was forceful and angry.

Xie Tiancheng was stunned, not expecting Xu Nian to see through his intentions.

At that moment, everyone began to cast suspicious looks at him.

Was Xie Tiancheng joining the Artifact Refining Sect for a woman?

Considering Xie Tiancheng's past actions, it was quite possible.

Seeing the doubts among the crowd, Xie Tiancheng angrily pointed at Xu Nian and said, "You slander me! I originally admired the Artifact Refining Sect and wanted to join, but I never expected the Sect Master of the Artifact Refining Sect to be such a shortsighted person, envious of my talents. It seems better not to join after all!"

Xu Nian heard this and showed a smile.

"Shortsighted? You really think of yourself as a prized piece, don't you?"

Xu Nian mocked coldly, took a step forward, and a powerful Sword Force emerged from him.

And this Sword Force, astonishingly, was at the Third Level of Sword Force.
