Divine King of Honour-Chapter 581: Tianhuang City

Just as the Eighth Prince had his breakthrough,

the entire Imperial Capital was shaken.

However, Xu Nian headed towards the border of Southern Wilderness County.

"Big Brother, weren’t we going to the Imperial Capital? Why are we going in the opposite direction? Besides, we are almost out of Southern Wilderness County now, and if we go further, it will be the Beast Forest," Black Wind asked, looking puzzled.

Logically, Xu Nian should have returned to the Imperial Capital, so why come to the Beast Forest?

"Ha-ha, my second brother, you wouldn’t understand. You haven’t been with Big Brother as long as I have, so naturally, you don’t know what he is up to. Big Brother is going to meet his little wife," Xu Yu couldn’t help but laugh and tease.

"Little wife? Brother Xu Nian, you are quite the lucky one with a lady like Leng Yanran and Princess Xia Bingling. I didn’t expect you to also have a dear friend here in the Beast Forest. Could it be some beautiful Nine-tailed Fox Demon?" Bull Demon King also couldn’t help but join in the teasing.

Xu Nian just gave them a look.

The imagination of Bull Demon King was boundless.

"Xu Yu, don’t talk nonsense. Yan Xi is my sister, and I am somewhat concerned about her constitution, so I came to check on her," Xu Nian said as he knocked on Xu Yu’s head.

Xu Yu just stuck out his tongue.

Black Wind and Bull Demon King exchanged smiles at this.

Even Mo Hen was amused.

However, compared to Black Wind and Bull Demon King,

He looked at Xu Nian with awe-filled eyes.

Thus, he dared not joke with Xu Nian like that.

"Big Brother, no offense, but although Yan Xi is a bit young, her beauty is truly exceptional. It’s been over two years now; she must have grown very beautiful by now. You might change your mind once you see her," Xu Yu still wouldn’t give up.

Xu Nian simply shook his head helplessly.

He turned a deaf ear to Xu Yu’s words.

However, his eyes showed a trace of melancholy.

Indeed!

In just a blink, more than two years had passed.

He reckoned that Yan Xi was nearly of age now.

The little girl from back then must have turned quite beautiful by now.

Thinking this, Xu Nian couldn’t help but think of Murong Xue.

The woman who first made her way into his heart.

If he couldn’t see her again in this lifetime, even death wouldn’t allow him peace.

But right now, he was still very weak.

To cross the Forbidden Sea and reach the other shore was still impossible.

He had to become stronger and stronger, only then would he be worthy to stand before her again.

And with Murong Xue’s beauty, there would certainly be many around her.

When the time came to take Murong Xue away, he would likely face significant obstacles.

"No matter how difficult, I will take you away, Xue’er. Wait for me," Xu Nian firmly told himself in his heart.

Seeing Murong Xue now was the motivation for his relentless cultivation.

As Xu Nian and the others flew, a city gradually came into their sight.

"Tianhuang City, Big Brother, is your little wife here?" Black Wind asked, looking at the city gate plaque.

"Yes, this is a small ordinary city; we should try to keep a low profile and try not to reveal your identities as Demon Beasts to avoid causing panic," Xu Nian nodded and said.

Initially, Yan Xi’s uncle was the commanding officer guarding Tianhuang City.

The reason Tianhuang City needs protection is that it is located on the edge of the Beast Forest.

In this part of Southern Wilderness County, should a Beast Tide occur, this place would be the first to be hit.

Thus, the Prefectural Governor of Southern Wilderness County dispatches troops to Tianhuang City all year round as a precaution against Demon Beast invasions.

Although Beast Tides rarely occur, it is still necessary to be prepared.

Of course, with the military strength stationed in Tianhuang City, they could only fend off small-scale Beast Tides.

In the event of a large-scale Beast Tide, Tianhuang City’s defenses would be crushed to ruins in an instant.

"Swoosh!"

Xu Nian and his three companions alighted in front of the city gates.

They proceeded to walk into the city.

Because they frequently dealt with Demon Beasts, the people of Tianhuang City harbored a strong hostility towards them.

This was why Xu Nian did not allow Xu Yu and the others to reveal their identities.

After Xu Nian and his companions passed through the guards’ inspection, they were allowed to enter the city gates.

His aura was contained, making him indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

With their level of expertise, these gatekeeping warriors couldn’t discern Xu Nian’s cultivation.

They couldn’t even imagine that they just brushed shoulders with a Battle Emperor Expert.

Tianhuang City was quite bustling since it was the primary source of materials from Demon Beasts, attracting a large number of merchants.

Over time, the merchants started calling it Beast City.

Not only that, but it was also home to the largest Beast Fighting Arena in the entire empire.

Beast fighting was a well-known entertainment in the empire.

Some powerful cultivators would venture into the wild beast forest to capture live, formidable Demon Beasts for combat to entertain spectators.

Thus, although Tianhuang City was a border town, its popularity was no less than that of Southern Wilderness County.

This could be observed from the bustling streets and the beast material products displayed in shops along the roadside.

There were necklaces strung with beast teeth and knives made from hard beast bones.

There were also lower-grade Demon Cores for sale, offering a dazzling array of options.

However, seeing this scene made the four companions, Xu Yu included, rather unhappy.

After all, they were Demon Beasts, and seeing their kind displayed and sold like this left them with a bitter taste.

"Actually, you shouldn’t be angry. Demon Beasts and humans are naturally competitors. Demon Beasts eat humans, and humans hunt Demon Beasts. These grudges are too complicated to clarify. Both sides have accumulated a bloody debt, and it’s hard to tell right from wrong anymore. However, I still hope that one day Demon Beasts and humans can coexist peacefully," Xu Nian, sensing their mood, spoke up.

The four nodded in agreement upon hearing Xu Nian’s words.

Their anger also dissipated significantly.

Humans had indeed hunted many Demon Beasts, but hadn’t Demon Beasts also killed numerous humans?

A large-scale beast tide had resulted in millions of human deaths.

"Let’s go; we’ll head straight to the General Mansion," Xu Nian told Xu Yu and the others.

They followed him, believing in Xu Nian’s words.

Peaceful coexistence between humans and Demon Beasts was an age-old difficult problem.

If anyone could solve it, it would be him.

After all, he possessed the Supreme Divine Dragon Body, a level above the Divine Dragons.

Soon, they arrived at the General Mansion.

Seeing the grand mansion, Xu Nian was somewhat excited.

After all, he would soon meet Yann Xi.

He had occasionally thought of this young girl over the years.

He wondered how she was doing now.

"Stop, this is General Zhen Yuan Mansion. This is not a place for you; get out!"

However, just as Xu Nian and his companions were about to enter the General Mansion, two guards at the entrance stopped them.

The two guards looked fierce and menacing.

Xu Nian frowned, clearly displeased.

Xu Yu and the Bull Demon King were even angrier and were about to take action.

These two insignificant warriors dared to disrespect their big brother; they were courting death.

But Xu Nian stopped them.
