Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian had never expected that upon his arrival in the Imperial Capital, he would encounter someone from the Ye Family.

Moreover, it was one of the living members of the Ye Family.

Aside from that Saint, the only person who had ever seen Xu Nian.

Given the vastness of the Imperial Capital, their chance meeting was truly the manipulation of fate.

From the expression on the face of this young man from the Ye Family, it was clear he had recognized Xu Nian's identity.

However, the cultivation of this Ye Family youth was not very high.

He was only at the Three-star Battle General Level.

In front of Xu Nian today.

A single finger could pinch him to death.

But the two young men beside him were quite extraordinary.

One was tall and formidable, looking to be around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

His cultivation had already reached the Peak of Body King.

As for the leading youth, he was even more remarkable.

Looking to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, he had already reached the Half-Saint Realm.

So young yet so advanced in cultivation.

In any power, such capabilities would mark him as a genius.

The one who just spoke was indeed the leading youth of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

At this moment, the youth had also noticed Xu Nian and the Bull Demon King.

After sizing them up briefly, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Then he simply ignored the two of them.

"I've seen Elder Brother Wu Dong," Xia Bingling said to the newcomer, politely speaking.

"Ice Spirit, you've worried the Master sick with your outing this time. If you want to travel, you should say something or let me accompany you, so we can look after each other. It's too dangerous to be alone," the youth named Wu Dong said with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Elder Brother Wu Dong. I've safely returned and am planning to visit the Master. Since you seem busy, we won't bother you," Xia Bingling spoke.

Having finished speaking, she prepared to leave with Xu Nian and the Bull Demon King.

Wu Dong's brow furrowed slightly.

Although Xia Bingling hadn't exactly been fond of him in the past.

She had never been so indifferent as she was today.

Why was she in such a hurry to leave today?

He had pursued Xia Bingling for so long.

Although she had never explicitly accepted, she had also never once rejected his advances.

If nothing went wrong, Xia Bingling would definitely be his woman in the end.

But Xia Bingling's behavior today made him feel a bit of surprise.

Was it because of them?

Wu Dong immediately turned his gaze to Xu Nian and the Bull Demon King.

But after looking them over thoroughly, he couldn't see what might attract Xia Bingling in these two.

"Elder Brother Wu Dong, that guy in white is Xu Nian,"

At that moment, Ye Yun whispered into Wu Dong's ear.

"Xu Nian? The one who seized the dragon veins and left the Four Great Families and the Imperial Family in defeat?" Wu Dong was taken aback.

His gaze involuntarily shifted back to Xu Nian.

"Right, that's Xu Nian. The Fang Family, our Ye Family, and the Imperial Family are all hunting him down, and here he dares to come to the Imperial Capital," Ye Yun said.

Hearing this, Wu Dong's eyes gleamed with greed.

Xu Nian was in the Imperial Capital, which meant the dragon veins were now with Xu Nian?

If he could seize the dragon veins, even handing them over to the Divine River Palace would be a great achievement.

Even if it were handed to Emperor Tianhen, it would definitely result in many rewards.

At that time, having Xia Bingling marry him would simply be a matter of his saying the word.

"We absolutely cannot let this fellow escape," Wu Dong thought to himself.

He immediately followed and blocked Xia Bingling's and Xu Nian's way, along with the third person.

Ye Yun, watching from the side, also revealed a cold smirk at the scene.

He thought Xu Nian coming to the Imperial Capital was practically seeking death.

He had revealed Xu Nian's identity to Wu Dong just to tempt him to try Xu Nian's power.

If Xu Nian were killed just like that, it would be for the best.

Then he would notify the Ye Family's Elders at the first opportunity.

If Xu Nian truly had some other methods to block Wu Dong's attack,

it wouldn't be too late for the Ye Family to make a move.

Although his own power was not great, Ye Yun's mind was incredibly sharp.

Despite being a collateral branch member, his status within the clan was no less than those of the main branch.

It was all thanks to his clever mind.

If he could capture Xu Nian this time, his status in the clan might well climb higher.

"Brother Wu Dong, what are you doing?" Xia Bingling said with displeasure as she saw Wu Dong actually blocking their path.

"Ice Spirit, I mean no harm, I just want to ask who these two are?" Wu Dong asked with a smile.

"They are both my friends, and we've come to the Imperial Capital for a visit. I was about to take them to see my Master. Is there anything else, Brother Wu Dong?" Xia Bingling said impatiently.

At these words, a flash of anger passed through Wu Dong's eyes.

Xia Bingling was actually speaking coldly to him because of these two people.

This had never happened before.

Being a grandson of an Elder of the Divine River Palace, there was no woman he couldn't have.

If it weren't for Xia Bingling's beauty and her being the Imperial Princess, he wouldn't bother to humble himself so to a woman.

"Hmph, Xia Bingling, once I capture Xu Nian and present him to the Emperor, then I'll see if you still dare to be arrogant in front of me," Wu Dong thought coldly.

However, his face still bore a smile as he looked at Xia Bingling and said, "Ice Spirit, you are naïve. I fear that you are being used by some ill-intentioned people. Perhaps you don't know, but your seventh and ninth brothers died at the hands of the person beside you."

"Eh?"

Xia Bingling was immediately startled, looking at Xu Nian with a face full of astonishment.

Although she had heard that her seventh and ninth prince brothers had been killed over the dragon vein in the Demon Emperor's Tomb, she had not known who had killed them.

To think they had died at the hands of Xu Nian.

However, recalling Xu Nian's abilities, it indeed seemed possible.

"Ice Spirit, it seems you are still in the dark. He has used you to enter the Imperial Capital for some unspeakable purpose, so please step aside, and let me properly interrogate this fellow," Wu Dong said with a cold snort.

After speaking, he turned to Xu Nian and coldly demanded, "Xu Nian, you must have some ulterior motive for approaching Princess Ice Spirit. I advise you to simply surrender; otherwise, you won't leave the Imperial Capital alive today."

Xu Nian, hearing this, just laughed.

From start to finish, he had seen through Wu Dong's act.

Everything Ye Yun had told Wu Dong, he had heard clearly.

Knowing these people were eyeing the dragon vein in him.

It was laughable that Wu Dong, used as a pawn, was obliviously ignorant, truly pitiable.

And Ye Yun, thinking himself clever, wanted to use Wu Dong to test Xu Nian's reality.

Such petty tricks were nothing but child's play in front of Xu Nian, who had long since trained to be as cunning as a fox.

"Brother Wu Dong, step aside. Xu Nian has saved my life; my life is owed to Xu Nian. Even if he harbors some scheme, I, Xia Bingling, accept it, but now, please step aside."

However, before Xu Nian could speak, Xia Bingling stepped forward, standing in front of Xu Nian, and coldly told Wu Dong.

At these words, the surrounding crowd was taken aback.

Wu Dong's face turned even more livid.

With those words, Xia Bingling had effectively made him look like a dog that meddles unnecessarily.
