Divine King of Honour-Chapter 647 - Pure Heart

For Xu Nian, this wasn't much of a loss.

Therefore, he didn't refuse the invitation from the Penglai Sect Leader.

The Eight-clawed King, witnessing this scene, felt a surge of anger in his eyes.

His gaze towards Xu Nian became extremely unfriendly.

The Sea Demon King had ordered him to bring Xu Nian back.

But if Penglai intervened, that would complicate things.

If it really came to blows, he might not be a match for the Penglai Sect Leader.

"Huh?"

Just then, the Eight-clawed King was taken aback.

His look towards Xu Nian also took on a note of surprise.

Xu Nian was somewhat puzzled by the change in the Eight-clawed King's expression.

However, the Eight-clawed King did not speak but instead turned to Xu Nian and said, "Xu Nian, our Palace Master invites you to visit the Sea King Palace."

When the Eight-clawed King said this, his tone was noticeably softer than before.

Yet as he spoke, a clear reluctance was evident on his face.

Xu Nian could also roughly guess what was happening.

Certainly, the Eight-clawed King had just received a message from the Sea Demon King.

He was to invite Xu Nian to the Sea King Palace instead of abducting him outright.

In fact, the reality was not far from what Xu Nian had surmised.

The Eight-clawed King had indeed received a message from the Sea Demon King.

The Sea Demon King was asking him to extend an invitation to Xu Nian. He must not resort to violence, nor should he provoke Xu Nian.

Otherwise, he needn't return to the Sea King Palace.

This was the first time the Eight-clawed King had received such a categorical order from the Sea Demon King.

"Why should I go back with you?" Xu Nian looked at the Eight-clawed King and asked with a sardonic smile.

Upon hearing Xu Nian's words, the Eight-clawed King's brow furrowed instantly.

He knew that his earlier attitude had already angered Xu Nian.

To make Xu Nian accept the invitation was going to be difficult.

"Sir, I was wrong before, and I apologize. If you are willing to go back with me, you may do as you please," said the Eight-clawed King, with great reluctance.

"Pfft!"

Xu Nian nearly choked on his own saliva.

Do as I please?

How could such words not sound odd?

Luo Bing said that it was because she was a woman.

But you, a male Demon Beast, actually uttering these words, how could it not give one the creeps?

"It's simple. Just kneel before me, and I'll go with you," Xu Nian said outright.

The arrogance of this eight-armed demon beast annoyed him.

Now that the opponent had softened, it was naturally time to take this opportunity for some retribution.

"You... you're going too far," the Eight-clawed King immediately snapped in anger.

"If you're unwilling, then you might as well go back!" Xu Nian said with a mocking laugh as he waved his hand.

Hearing this, the Eight-clawed King was instantly furious.

His expression turned to one of struggle.

After some struggling, he seemed to have finally made up his mind.

He knelt down in front of Xu Nian.

Xu Nian was rather surprised.

He hadn't expected that the Eight-clawed King would actually kneel before him.

It seemed the Sea Demon King applied no small amount of pressure on him, otherwise, why would he be willing to kneel to Xu Nian?

This left Xu Nian somewhat astounded.

The Sea Demon King's behavior seemed to fluctuate quite a bit.

There must be some reasons that he was unaware of.

In fact, he had to pay a visit to the Sea King Palace.

Even for the sake of Xu Yu, he needed to make this trip to the Sea King Palace.

"Now can we go?" the eight-armed demon beast said coldly.

"Yes, lead the way," Xu Nian replied with a light smile.

"Eh, are you really going, Brother Xu Nian? This really shouldn't be done," Ji Tianlong, seeing Xu Nian was truly intent on heading to the Sea King Palace, suddenly asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Xu Nian nodded and replied with a smile.

After speaking, he followed the Eight-clawed King to the seaside.

Finally, under the lead of the Eight-clawed King and a crowd of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, he dived into the sea.

"Sect Leader Brother, why didn't you stop him? If Brother Xu Nian goes to the Sea King Palace, can he even survive? That place is the Sea Demon King's lair!" Ji Tianlong saw his Sect Leader Brother smiling silently and asked with a puzzled face.

The Sect Leader Brother just smiled and shook his head, saying, "Xu Nian is a decisive person, and he doesn't act without preparation. Since he's decided to go, he must be confident. Besides, he has the Evil Extermination Sword Array with him, so the Sea Demon King might not be able to harm him. Moreover, to obtain a Low Grade Spirit Pill to save someone, he can only do this."

"But... isn't this too risky?" Ji Tianlong said anxiously.

"He who does not enter the tiger's den will not catch its cubs. Xu Nian has managed to reach such Cultivation at his age, it can't be just because he has a heaven-defying talent. This time, Xu Nian's appearance makes me realize a truth, too. Our Penglai disciples are all fairly talented, but they have not gone through any major tribulations. Compared to a genius like Xu Nian, they are far too lacking in temperament," the Penglai Sect Leader said.

"Yes, our disciples are complacent, and if it weren't for their advantage in Spiritual Energy, they might not be able to match up to the mainland's geniuses," Ji Tianlong agreed with a nod.

There were many talents among the Penglai disciples.

But very few could become true giants of influence.

It was precisely because they lacked the mentality of the truly strong.

"It seems it is time to send our disciples to the mainland for trials. We'll wait for Xu Nian to come back from the Sea King Palace," the Penglai Sect Leader said.

Ji Tianlong nodded.

He looked toward the direction of the sea.

Could Xu Nian really come back safely?

Hopefully so.

Standing not far away, Luo Bing saw Xu Nian actually heading to the Sea King Palace with the Eight-clawed King.

Surprise showed on her pretty face.

She hadn't expected Xu Nian to dare venture alone to the Sea King Palace.

Just this courage was not something any Penglai disciple had.

At this moment, she suddenly understood the meaning behind Xu Nian's words.

She could seek revenge for her parents, but she had to live well.

Otherwise, even if she did exact revenge, her parents' spirits in heaven wouldn't be happy.

"Xu Nian, thank you. I hope you can come back safe and sound. I, Luo Bing, will also become stronger, and one day I will stand before you in my own right," Luo Bing said with a determined look in her eyes.

After finishing, she turned directly and flew towards her own residence.

At this moment, her heart was no longer filled solely with hatred.

More so, it was a pure pursuit of strength.
