Divine King of Honour

Situ Chen was forty-six years old this year, and he was the youngest Inner Sect Elder of Tianxing Sect.

Moreover, he was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius by Tianxing Sect.

At the tender age of forty-six, he had already reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, with a limitless future ahead of him.

Don't think that forty-six is old, for a cultivator.

Forty-six is indeed very young.

Once one reaches the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, one can have at least five thousand years of lifespan.

So, don't say that someone looks young at forty.

Even at a hundred or two hundred years old, they would still be considered extremely young.

Situ Chen, being merely forty-six years old, naturally had the appearance of a youth.

The reason he was here was because he had received a notification from the Medicine King.

The Medicine King feared he couldn't handle it alone and was also wary that the Feng Family would demand an exorbitant share if they learned of the vein and Spiritual Spring.

So, he covertly notified Situ Chen, hoping to make use of Situ Chen's power

to eradicate the Feng Family afterwards.

However, what the Medicine King did not anticipate

was that upon learning of the vein and Spiritual Spring, Situ Chen had made a decision.

Once the Medicine King obtained the Spirit Stone Vein and Spiritual Spring,

he would eliminate both him and the Feng Family.

Monopolizing the Spiritual Spring and vein for himself.

It was Xu Nian's appearance that disrupted this situation.

However, for Situ Chen, it didn't matter who was the cicada, as long as he was the final oriole.

"Young man, do you really intend to become an enemy of Tianxing Sect?" Situ Chen looked at Xu Nian and sneered.

Xu Nian also let out a light laugh upon hearing this, and with a similarly proud expression, he looked at Situ Chen and said, "It's true that you are an Elder of Tianxing Sect, but I doubt you can represent the entire Sect. If the Sect learns that you discovered a vein and didn't report it while acting behind the back of your Sect, they probably won't let you off easily."

"Hmph, even if the Sect knows, at most they would give me a little punishment, and by doing so, you can forget about getting even a bit of this Spirit Stone Vein and Spiritual Spring," Situ Chen coldly huffed, with anger in his eyes.

He hadn't expected this youth to see through his intention of operating alone behind the Sect's back.

Since that was the case, he would now be even less likely to let them leave here alive.

"What? Planning to kill to silence us? But it seems to me that you, being only in the middle stage of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, can't really do much to us!" Xu Nian sneered.

The young man's face changed upon hearing this, and his gaze then firmly fell on the middle-aged man beside Xu Nian.

He had already noticed that this middle-aged man was extraordinarily strong.

Now, hearing Xu Nian say this, he became even more vigilant.

"Xuan Hong, kill him!" Xu Nian immediately ordered.

Upon hearing the command, Xuan Hong's eyes turned sharp, and then he stepped forward.

His figure transformed into an afterimage, disappearing on the spot.

"Not good!"

Situ Chen's pupils constricted, and his face showed a look of surprise.

The speed of this middle-aged man, he actually could not catch it.

This meant that the middle-aged man's strength was above his own.

"Buzz!"

Just at that moment, Situ Chen suddenly felt a terrible burst of wind directly hit his face.

He didn't even think before lashing out with a palm strike in front of him.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion of True Essence burst forth.

Situ Chen's fist collided with an Iron Fist.

The True Essence erupted.

Situ Chen was directly sent flying by this terrifying force.

Xuan Hong let out a disdainful snort.

Then, he took another step forward, his figure quickly rushing towards Situ Chen.

After all, he was two levels above Situ Chen, how could Situ Chen possibly be his match.

The following punch was bound to severely injure the youth.

However, just as Xuan Hong caught up to Situ Chen and was about to deliver a devastating blow,

a cold smile curled on the corners of Situ Chen's mouth.

Then, without any attempt to defend himself,

Xuan Hong's fist directly slammed into his abdomen.

"Bang!"

Situ Chen's body suddenly exploded, turning into a mist.

"Not good, it's the Water Mist Condensing Shadow Technique!" Xuan Hong exclaimed in surprise, turning back to shout.

At this moment, Xu Nian also furrowed his brows tightly.

A bad premonition surged in his heart.

"Die!"

Indeed, at that moment, Xu Nian felt a terrifyingly sharp aura approaching from behind.

Xu Nian didn't hesitate. He immediately summoned his Immortal Sword and turned to defend.

"Clang!"

A sharp and formidable sword pierced through the void, striking against the surface of Xu Nian's sword.

That sharp sword tip instantly forced Xu Nian's sword into an extreme arc.

The Sword Radiance filled with fierce sharpness made one's scalp tingle.

"Yi!"

Situ Chen let out a light exclamation, clearly not expecting Xu Nian to withstand his sudden attack.

Although he hadn't used his full strength,

to kill someone in the early stages of Zifu, even those in the early stages of Cave Void, was more than enough.

So it naturally surprised him that this young man could block his sword.

Could this young man have hidden his true power?

However, at this moment, Xu Nian was anything but relaxed.

It seemed he had only used his sword to block the sudden attack,

but the moment the Sword Radiance appeared,

he had used the Space Power.

First, he used Space Solidification to stop the speed of the sword stab.

Then, he immediately channeled the Wind Vibration through his whole Immortal Sword, using the thunderous power of the Wind Vibration to shatter the fierce Sword Qi on the attacking sword.

Completing all of this had almost exhausted all of Xu Nian's True Essence.

If there were to be a second sword strike, he would definitely not be able to block it.

"Humph!"

Situ Chen seemed to see that it was merely a coincidence that the young man before him had blocked his strike.

His True Essence surged forth in an instant, and the sharp sword in his hand began to spin rapidly.

A powerful Sword Qi suddenly transferred from his sharp sword to Xu Nian's sword.

Xu Nian couldn't withstand such terrifying Sword Qi.

"Pff!"

Blood spurted from his mouth.

His body flew backward like a kite with its string cut.

That one sword strike had nearly damaged Xu Nian's internal organs.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Situ Chen's mouth.

Then he continued to wield his sword, chasing after Xu Nian with the intent to completely eradicate him.

He had clearly recognized that this young man was the backbone of the four-person group.

Once he killed this young man, everything else would be easy.

Fortunately, Xuan Hong had come back into the fight.

He appeared directly in front of Xu Nian, throwing a punch.

In an instant, he shattered Situ Chen's Sword Qi.

The powerful True Essence also forced Situ Chen to retreat.

It had to be said, this Situ Chen was indeed formidable.

Being in the middle-stage of Heavenly Phenomenon, he was still able to cope so easily against someone of the Peak of Heavenly Phenomenon Level.

Although he couldn't defeat Xuan Hong,

he could still stand on an undefeated ground.

And he could even find an opening to turn around and attempt to assassinate Xu Nian.

"Let's go!"

However, it was at this moment that Xu Nian commanded.

"Go?"

Hong Xiang's face showed surprise.

Bu Keng was also astonished.

He had just harvested these Spiritual Medicines. Were they really about to give up the Spirit Stones and the Spiritual Spring just like that?

But Xu Nian's gaze was resolute.

With no other choice, Hong Xiang and Bu Keng had to follow Xu Nian and leave.

Situ Chen watched Xu Nian leave with a light smile on his lips.

He didn't care about the stolen Spiritual Medicine.

As long as the Spiritual Spring and the Spirit Stones remained, it was not a problem.

However, when he spread out his Spiritual Sense to investigate the Spirit Stone Vein and the Spiritual Spring, his face turned ashen.

To his shock, the Spirit Stone Vein below had turned into hollow shells.

The ancient well of the Spiritual Spring had also completely dried up?

Seeing this scene, Situ Chen was utterly dumbfounded.
