Divine King of Honour-Chapter 763 - 762 Rashamon City Lord

"How's it going?" Bu Keng and the others asked.

"These villians intend to use children as bait to poison the Iron Blood Demon Spider," Xu Nian replied coldly.

"How cruel, they're capable of such heinous acts bereft of all conscience, no, I must stop them," Hong Xiang immediately couldn't sit still, her pretty face filled with anger as she spoke.

No sooner had she finished speaking than she wanted to dash out and storm into the Feng Family's camp.

Xu Nian quickly held her back, signaling her not to act rashly.

"Amitabha Buddha, these people truly deserve death, but even if we intervene, we're no match for them. The only one who can win is this senior," Bu Keng said with a smile to Xuan Hong.

It was obvious that he had already recognized Xuan Hong's extraordinary strength.

Though he didn't know exactly what realm Xuan Hong belonged to, he knew for certain that Xuan Hong's power was exceptional.

However, Xuan Hong remained utterly indifferent.

Clearly, his only purpose was to protect Xu Nian and he wouldn't easily take action.

As for slaying demons and upholding righteousness, he wasn't very interested in that.

Xu Nian naturally understood Xuan Hong's mindset.

After all, he was from the Demon Clan; if he were to be outraged by the internecine conflict of mankind, that would indeed be strange.

"What should we do then? We can't just watch as they kill those innocent children," Hong Xiang said anxiously.

"Don't worry, the Young Family Head of the Feng Family will definitely go out to capture children later. As long as we follow them, I have my ways to handle him," Xu Nian said with a smile.

His smile carried a hint of chill.

"Amitabha Buddha, but this Young Sect Master's cultivation is not low either, having reached the Zifu Peak Level. Plus, he'll certainly have guards with him. It won't be an easy feat to deal with him," Bu Keng hastily added.

Hong Xiang and Xu Nian exchanged glances, both revealing a smile.

Neither of them said anything.

Previously, he had faced two opponents at once and wasn't afraid even of those in the Cave Void Realm.

Why would he fear a cultivator of the Zifu Peak Level?

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Sure enough, just then, the sound of five figures tearing through the sky could be heard from afar.

With a wave of Xu Nian's sleeve, a spatial fluctuation was transmitted.

He immediately concealed the four of them in the shadows.

It wasn't until those five individuals had passed that they re-emerged.

"Senior Xuan Hong, could you stay here and keep watch over them? We'll be back shortly," Xu Nian said to Xuan Hong.

"Okay!" Xuan Hong agreed decisively.

Through their time together, he had realized.

Xu Nian was unlikely to encounter any danger; even if he died, Xu Nian might not.

Thus, he was not worried at all that anything would happen to Xu Nian.

However, Bu Keng on the side didn't think so.

He felt it strange that Xu Nian would leave a powerful expert here unused, sending the three of them who had just entered the Zifu Realm to deal with the Young Master of the Feng Family.

Was Xu Nian out of his mind?

Xu Nian, however, paid no attention to what Bu Keng thought.

He immediately led Hong Xiang and pursued the three figures.

After some thought, Bu Keng still decided to follow.

The three of them moved swiftly, closely following the five shadows.

Indeed, the one leading them was none other than the Young Master of the Feng Family, Feng Yan.

Following him were four Zifu Level powerhouses from the Feng Family.

However, their strength was not as formidable as Feng Yan's.

One was at the Zifu Early-stage, two at the Zifu Middle-stage, and one at the Late-stage Zifu.

All three were dressed in black, clearly belonging to a secretly nurtured force of the Feng Family.

"Young Family Head, are we heading to a nearby village?" a guard inquired of Feng Yan.

"Hmph, what village? We need a large number of children this time; going to those villages would yield but a few. Just head straight to Rashamon City ahead," Feng Yan coldly snorted in response.

"Rashamon City? Young Family Head, isn't that a bit unwise? The Family Head specifically instructed us before leaving that we must go to the villages, and we should not come to Rashamon City at all because the City Lord of Rashamon is quite formidable," the guard urgently said.

"Hmph, what is there to fear? We're not going to the City Lord Mansion this time. Even if the City Lord of Rashamon is powerful, it's impossible for him to notice us. Besides, he is merely an Early Stage cultivator of the Cave Void Realm. Even if he were to discover us, I refuse to believe he would dare lay a finger on me," Feng Yan immediately retorted with a cold snort.

"But the City Lord of Rashamon City has always been known for his impartiality..."

"Enough, my mind is made up. You need only follow orders," commanded Feng Yan.

Seeing Feng Yan's anger, all four guards dared not say another word.

They could only hope that their journey would not lead to an encounter with the infamous City Lord of Rashamon.

"Interesting, it seems we won't need to make a move this time," Xu Nian heard their conversation crystal clear.

Thus, when he heard mention of the City Lord of Rashamon,

an ingenious plan formed in his heart.

Originally contemplating making his own move, Xu Nian instantly dismissed the thought.

Let the City Lord of Rashamon take action.

Before long, Feng Yan and the others had entered Rashamon City.

It was nearing nightfall at this moment.

The stars were gradually appearing in the night sky.

Upon entering the city, they began to utilize their Spiritual Sense to search for traces of children.

"Bu Keng, Sister Hong, follow them for now, but don't take action just yet. Wait for my arrival; you may act only when I give the signal," Xu Nian spoke to Hong Xiang and Bu Keng.

"What are you going to do?" Hong Xiang asked, puzzled.

"Summon reinforcements!" Xu Nian replied with a slight smile, leaving behind a phrase before transforming into a fleeting shadow, darting out of the city.

"Summon reinforcements?" Hong Xiang and Bu Keng both wore confused expressions.

Xu Nian hadn't let Xuan Hong make a move before, and now he was seeking more people for reinforcement?

Was his brain damaged?

And wasn't he new to the Cultivation World?

Who could he be going to summon for reinforcements?

Moreover, who would dare meddle with Young Master Feng of the Feng Family?

Wouldn't that be openly opposing the Feng Family?

Despite her doubts, Hong Xiang understood that Xu Nian was not one to act without reason.

So she stopped pondering over it, choosing instead to quietly wait for the answer.

She then controlled her movements to float like a feather towards the heart of the city.

"What an odd fellow, but for the sake of those Spiritual Medicines and treasures, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now," Bu Keng muttered to himself, his lips quirking.

"Hey, Sister Hong, wait up!" Bu Keng called out, following right after he spoke.

However, what he received in return was Hong Xiang's cold gaze filled with killing intent.

Bu Keng immediately brought his palms together, his gaze lowering to his nose, his focus turning inward, with the mantra on his lips: "Amitabha Buddha!"

After separating from Hong Xiang and the others, Xu Nian headed in the direction of the City Lord Mansion.

Indeed, his mission was to seek out the City Lord of Rashamon.

As for why, of course, Xu Nian had his own goals.

"Huh, why is it a woman? And she is even..." when Xu Nian arrived at the Rashamon City Lord Mansion,

using his Spiritual Sense to investigate, he discovered the City Lord of Rashamon was, unexpectedly, a woman.

What surprised him even more was that at this moment the Rashamon City Lord was preparing to bathe.

She had just begun undressing, revealing snow-white shoulders.

Xu Nian was taken aback.

"Who's there!"

Sure enough, what followed was a sharp and cold reprimand.
