Divine King of Honour

After Xu Fenn left.

The entire inn once again returned to tranquility.

Xu Nian compensated the innkeeper a number of gold coins.

The innkeeper was endlessly grateful.

And during the following five days. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Xu Nian had once again entered into a state of cultivation.

Without a doubt.

His Divine Demon Refining Body, after several days of intensive cultivation, finally broke through to the Eight-star Body General Realm.

However, good things don't last long.

Soon after, an incident that shook the entirety of Dong'an City occurred.

The exact location of the Demon Emperor's Tomb was found.

It turned out that the powerful forces had recently sent out their strong members to search for the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

They had no time to take Xu Nian into account.

Hence, no powerful forces came looking for trouble with Xu Nian.

As news of the Demon Emperor's Tomb spread.

Everyone headed towards the location of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Even less attention was paid to Xu Nian.

And from the information gathered by Bai Feng, Xu Nian learned much about the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

"You're saying that within this Demon Emperor's Tomb lies the dragon vein of the Tianhen Empire?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"That's right, Sect Master, this Demon Emperor's Tomb belongs to Emperor Bai, who lived five thousand years ago. Back then, his strength was boundless, and it is said he had reached the Peak of Battle Emperor. To break through the shackles of the Battle Emperor realm, he stole the entire empire's dragon vein. However, after his failure, he suppressed the dragon vein within his tomb to guard his corpse," said Bai Feng.

A wave of surprise overcame Xu Nian.

Chen Wudi and the others appeared contemplative.

The Peak of Battle Emperor, suppressing the empire's dragon vein, guarding his own corpse?

What kind of existence was this?

Chen Tiansheng nodded his head.

Clearly, he had heard of Emperor Bai's name as well.

On the side, however, a hint of killing intent flashed through Zhao Yanyun's eyes.

This killing intent was fleeting.

No one present noticed it.

"So all the major forces are here for this dragon vein, but what's so significant about this dragon vein?" Xu Nian couldn't help but follow up.

"The empire's dragon vein is the foundation of the empire's fortune; it not only contains immense energy but also possesses an immensely great fortune. Once one controls the power of the dragon vein, they can overturn the entire empire and become the ruler of this continent," answered Chen Tiansheng.

Overthrow the empire, become the ruler of this continent?

A look of astonishment appeared on Xu Nian's face.

Now he finally understood why all the major forces were desperately vying for the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

It was all for the dragon vein.

A blessing of fortune, the collapse of the empire.

Even if the Tianhen Empire was strong.

Without the dragon vein, it would gradually decline.

As for the notion of fortune, it was a profound mystery.

It was much like a person's luck.

The empire likewise possessed its own national fortune.

Within the dragon vein was contained the entire fortune of the Tianhen Empire.

Previously, Xu Nian had obtained a jade seal.

Contained within it was a portion of the fallen dynasty's fortune.

But the fallen dynasty had already been destroyed.

That portion of fortune could not hope to compare with the thriving Tianhen Empire's dragon vein.

Whoever obtains the dragon vein, obtains the world!

This was an unchanging law throughout the continent.

"Then where is this tomb of Emperor Bai located?" Xu Nian once again inquired.

"In Death Valley!" Bai Feng replied.

"Death Valley?" Chen Tiansheng's face changed instantly.

Xu Nian, however, was somewhat puzzled.

Was there something special about Death Valley?

"Sect Master may not know that Death Valley is a notorious forbidden area on Tianhen Continent. At the outskirts of the valley lies a dense mist forest; this kind of mist can block Spiritual Sense, making it very easy for even Saints to lose their way within. Moreover, Death Valley is deep within this mist forest, and it is filled with deadly threats—basically, those who go in never come out," Bai Feng said.

"Yes, I have sent people to investigate Death Valley before, but the result was a complete annihilation. Most of them died in the mist forest without even making it to Death Valley. It's extremely dangerous," Chen Tiansheng said.

As the Prefectural Governor of East Field County,

He naturally knew the local situation well.

Xu Nian fell into deep thought.

It seemed that the major forces wished to find the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Entering the Demon Emperor's Tomb was not such an easy task.

"Sect Master, the Great Elder and the others have already set off towards the mist forest, and all the major forces have entered the mist forest as well. Should we also depart?" Bai Feng asked.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Nian asked, "Any news on that Mandala Viper?"@@novelbin@@

Bai Feng shook his head and replied, "Not yet, but someone saw it in Dong'an City a while ago; it left afterward. It's likely that upon hearing news of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, it too would head to the mist forest."

Xu Nian nodded.

If it really involved the Dragon veins,

The Demon Clan would definitely not give up easily.

However, the only trouble was that killing the Emperor Scorpion was not an easy task.

Of course, he possessed the Nine Gang Heavenly Thunder Array.

Should he actually encounter the Mandala Viper, it was not impossible to have a fight.

Everyone looked towards Xu Nian; it was clear that Xu Nian had become their mainstay.

"Good, let's head to the mist forest," Xu Nian decided.

The rest nodded in agreement.

Then Xu Nian, along with Bai Feng and Chen Wudi, left the Star Tower, ready to head to the mist forest.

However, as they descended the tower, they were stopped by someone.

Upon seeing the figure, Xu Nian's eyes immediately turned sharp.

"Are you planning to go to the mist forest?" the newcomer asked with a light smile, eyes filled with amusement.

"Is there a problem with that?" Xu Nian asked the newcomer, still with a trace of wariness in his eyes.

"Nothing wrong. I just came to remind you that the Fang Family has set traps outside the city, waiting for you to walk right into them. If you leave the city like this, you're probably going to your death," Lin Ruolan said with a light chuckle.

Xu Nian's expression darkened, his brows furrowing tightly.

If it was as Lin Ruolan said, then rushing out would indeed be extremely dangerous.

Even if he had the Nine Gang Heavenly Thunder Array to survive,

But the Array was depleted with each use, and it would be difficult to face the Mandala Viper later.

However, he was more curious about why Lin Ruolan came to tip him off at this time.

In his view, Lin Ruolan was not the kindhearted type.

Chen Wudi and Bai Feng also changed in expression, not expecting they were nearly caught in disaster.

"Ha-ha, brother Xu Nian, don't have such a bad opinion of your sister. Sister truly doesn't want anything bad to happen to you. After all, she dreams of having a good time with you. Sister would hate for someone to kill you," Lin Ruolan laughed heartily.

Xu Nian felt a chill run down his spine.

Lin Ruolan was clearly interested in the Blood Qi of his Nine Dragons Supreme Body.

She was keeping him in check bit by bit.

Once he grew to a level that satisfied her,

She would probably make her move.

Just thinking about living underneath the same skin as an old demoness,

Xu Nian felt a shiver through his body.

Being constantly watched by such a monster

Was not at all an honor.

"Speak, what's your true purpose for coming here?"

Xu Nian wanted to keep it short and got straight to the point.

"Really no fun, all for naught with my deep concern. What purpose could sister have, but to help you eliminate those who plot against you," Lin Ruolan said with a smile.

Yet her smile concealed a bone-chilling coldness.
