Divine King of Honour-Chapter 324 The Gate Opens

A storm had just been quelled.

However, everyone was still immersed in the events that had just occurred.

The impact on them was simply too great.

First, the young man had a conflict with the Ye Family, followed by the Xu family forcing the Ye Family to leave.

Then, right in front of the Xu family, he killed a disciple of the Xu family.

In the end, he managed to force the Xu family to swallow their anger by brandishing his identity as the Artifact Refining Sect Master.

Such tactics were truly unimaginable.

Especially his last statement, which sent chills down everyone's spine.

"Though my Artifact Refining Sect may not be as powerful as your Xu family, even if we all fall in battle, we will still make your Xu family lose an arm and a leg."

A sect led by such a sect master would undoubtedly be fierce and formidable.

But how old is he?

The Xu family members fell silent.

So did the Ye Family members.

Even the two people from the Fang Family standing alone were now silent as well.

Let alone they had no idea who the murderer of their family member was, even if they did, it would be of no help now.

Three of the Four Great Families had been crippled!

And by the same person, no less.

If the public were to learn the truth of the matter,

who knows what they would think.

In fact, not only the three great families, but Tianjian Sect had also been badly damaged by Xu Nian.

Of the young generation from Tianjian Sect, eight had come.

Now only two remained.

The losses could be described as tragic.

...

In a corner of the square, a young man was standing at this moment.

Behind the young man was an old man following close behind.

The young man had seen everything that had just happened.

He was handsome with eyes like stars.

A faint, unconstrained smile always lingered on his lips.

He gave off an aura of untamed defiance.

As for the old man, he was somewhat hunched, with clouded eyes.

He looked as though he was almost stepping into a coffin.

"Seventh Prince, should this old servant send someone to investigate the background of this young man?" the old man asked.

"No need, a prey whose background is unknown is more interesting to chase," the young man replied with a light laugh, his eyes brimming with intense interest.

"But..." the old man seemed to have concerns.

However, the young man waved his hand and said, "Don't overthink it. It's just an Artifact Refining Sect. Are you really afraid I can't handle it? Now that Old Eight has gone to the Arctic Ice Field, it's a good opportunity for me to accumulate power. I have a premonition that if I can subdue this young man, even if Old Eight returns from the Arctic Ice Field, I can still challenge him, not to mention this dragon vein."

The old man nodded his head.

With the young master's identity and power, subduing an Artifact Refining Sect naturally would not be difficult. Discover more content at novelbuddy

"Have you found that Xu Nian yet?" the young man asked again.

"Not yet," the old man replied. "That Xu Nian seems to have vanished into thin air all of a sudden. As soon as he left Dong'an City, he just disappeared."

The young man snorted coldly, angrily saying, "Huh, what useless trash, can't even find one young man. If you do not inform me of Xu Nian's whereabouts before I leave this Demon Emperor's Tomb, I think you know the consequences."

The old man's body trembled and he immediately answered, "This old servant will definitely do everything possible to send people to search."

After speaking, he took out a Communication Spirit Talisman and began to issue orders.

The young man's eyes narrowed slightly, filled with killing intent.

The Ninth Prince, Xia Zhengfeng, was his biological younger brother, born of the same mother.

Now that Xia Zhengfeng had been killed, he could hardly be willing to let bygones be bygones.

"Xu Nian, don't let me see you, or I will flay you a thousand times over!" Xia Zhenglei clenched his fists tight, his eyes bristling with intent to kill.

However, what he did not know was that the Xu Nian he was looking for was standing not far in front of him.

Xu Nian was currently conversing with Yann Hong.

As for Xu Xin, she had returned to the Xu family's ranks.

With such events transpiring, if Xu Nian were to get close to Xu Xin now, it would only make her situation very awkward.

"Sister Hong, are the Great Elder and others currently guarding outside the Misty Forest?" Xu Nian asked.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, this time, both the Great Elder and the previous Sect Master have gathered outside the Misty Forest. They have been separated by a seal and are unable to enter," Yann Hong replied.

Xu Nian nodded.

Sure enough, it was exactly as Xu Xin had said.

Even the Saints were being blocked by the seals outside the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

"What's the deal with this Demon Emperor's Tomb?" Xu Nian pointed to the huge Stone Gate and asked.

Now that they were at the entrance to the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Why hasn't anyone opened the gate and gone in?

This was the question that Xu Nian had been curious about ever since he arrived here.

"Sect Master, it's like this: The door to the Demon Emperor's Tomb cannot be opened with External Force. Covered with a powerful seal, if attacked forcefully, it will only trigger the seal, and the offender will be killed by the seal," Yann Hong explained.

"What do we do then?" Xu Nian asked, amazed.

If the door to the Demon Emperor's Tomb couldn't be opened, then how could they enter the tomb to search for treasures?

Chen Wudi was also taken aback, clearly just as puzzled.

"Wait," Yann Hong answered.

"Wait?" Xu Nian was still utterly astonished.

"Yes, every time the full moon lights up the night, and when it appears directly above the valley, moonlight shines upon the gate, it will open automatically. This process lasts only as long as it takes an incense stick to burn," Yann Hong responded.

"Huh? There's such a thing?" A realization dawned in Xu Nian's mind.

He had never expected the key to the Demon Emperor's Tomb's gate to be the moonlight.

Emperor Bai must've possessed incredible ingenuity and wonder when he was building this tomb.

"Once inside, is it possible to come back out?" Xu Nian then asked another question.

Yann Hong shook her head and said, "Unless someone obtains the Dragon Vein and breaks the seal, everyone will be trapped inside until the next full moon night. However, the tomb is fraught with great danger, and nearly no one can survive until the next full moon night."

"Huh?" Xu Nian was stunned for a moment.

So the Demon Emperor's Tomb was that perilous.

In other words, once inside, one either obtained the Dragon Vein or died there.

This was not a treasure trove at all, it was a place of certain death!

Yet for the sake of the Dragon Vein, so many powers were still willing to risk everything.

Xu Nian shook his head in resignation.

Men die for wealth, as birds die for food; it's an unchanging truth throughout the ages.

"When is the next full moon night?" Xu Nian asked.

"It is tonight!" Yann Hong replied.

Xu Nian was taken aback; he hadn't expected the full moon night to be this very evening.

Didn't that mean they would have to enter the Demon Emperor's Tomb tonight?

Furthermore, it made sense—the major powers had come prepared, and naturally, they had calculated the timing with extreme precision.

"It seems entering the tomb will lead to a true battle to the death!" Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Yet his gaze was exceptionally firm.

Having come this far, he naturally also wanted to compete for the Dragon Vein.

Now that he had offended so many powers, if he didn't possess great strength in the future,

how would he protect the ones he cared about?

Time ticked by, and night swiftly fell.

A giant Silver Moon slowly climbed to the center of the valley.

Moonlight spilled from above, and sounds like music from ancient times began to fill the air.

All stood up and looked toward the towering Stone Gate.

Creak!

The massive Stone Gate gradually started to move.

And everyone's hearts suddenly hung in suspense.
