Divine King of Honour-Chapter 662 -

She was one of the few who supported Xu Nian.

And just recently, she had communicated with Xu Nian.

She indeed received a reply from Xu Nian saying that he would arrive soon.

"I have sensed it too. The Master has already reached the bounds of West Shu. It won't be long before he arrives here," Black Hou suddenly said at this moment.

He wasn't particularly concerned about this so-called Artifact Refining Sect.

If not for Xu Nian asking him to guard the Artifact Refining Sect, he would be off enjoying himself.

Just a short while ago, he had broken through from the Half-Emperor Realm to become a One-star Demon Emperor.

But seven days ago, in a clash with a Three-star Battle Emperor from the Fang Family,

he was not his opponent and was severely injured.

Furthermore, he nearly destroyed his own foundation.

Even after seven days of recovery, his Cultivation could only attain the strength of a Nine-star Battle Saint.

Against that colossal warship outside, he had no chance of resistance whatsoever.

And there was no second person in the Artifact Refining Sect who possessed Battle Emperor level strength.

So if that warship outside did attack,

it's likely that just one person could lead to the total annihilation of their Sect.

"Hmph, he hasn't inquired about the affairs of the Sect these two years. What qualifies him to be our Sect Master? Now his absence has plunged the Sect into dire straits, and his whereabouts are unknown. Besides, even if he rushes back, what can he do? Can he withstand the experts on that warship outside? There are more than a dozen Holy Realm experts, five at the Battle Emperor level. His return would be nothing but a suicide mission," scoffed the Third Elder with disdain.

The Elder didn't see anything impressive about their Sect Master.

Although rumors claimed he was now a Battle Emperor level expert,

he doubted the rumors were true.

How could someone possibly reach the Battle Emperor level before the age of twenty?

"Third Elder, the Sect Master has shown great kindness to our Sect; you can't speak of him that way. Even if the entire Artifact Refining Sect perishes in battle, we absolutely must not surrender," the Second Elder said.

"Yes, if it weren't for the Sect Master's rescue, our Artifact Refining Sect would have ceased to exist long ago, and we wouldn't have the glory that we have today," Yann Hong also added.

Yann Xi stood behind her, nodding along.

The sisters were both supporters of Xu Nian.

They both believed that Xu Nian would arrive in the final moment.

To save the Sect from this crisis.

"I know we owe him gratitude, but things must be put into perspective. It's unreasonable to let thousands of lives within the Sect be buried with him. He saved the Sect once, and sacrificing himself this time is also acceptable. As Sect Master, he should indeed make sacrifices for the Sect," said the Third Elder with great agitation.

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder's brow only furrowed deeper.

He glanced up at the Third Elder.

"Third Elder, mind your words and actions. The Sect Master's devotion to the Sect is his great righteousness. How come when you speak of it, it becomes a matter of course?" the Great Elder immediately scolded with a cold voice.

"It is supposed to be like that. Isn't he, as the Sect Master, supposed to take on the Sect's responsibilities? I could overlook his usual behavior, but now that the Sect is in trouble and he still hasn't appeared, what kind of shitty Sect Master is he? I bet he's too scared to show up." The Third Elder retorted, unreconciled.

"Presumptuous, it's not your place to judge the Sect Master," the Great Elder immediately rebuked.

His voice was mixed with a strong roar.

By now, his cultivation had risen to the Seven-star Battle Saint Realm.

Apart from Black Hou, his cultivation was undoubtedly the highest.

"Great Elder, we're out of time. I admit it was wrong of me to disrespect the Sect Master, but the lives of over three thousand Sect members can't just wait here to die. The Artifact Refining Sect has been around for a thousand years; is it to be completely destroyed today?" The Third Elder implored, kneeling before the Great Elder.

"Great Elder, let's surrender!"

Behind the Third Elder, a large group of Elders and core disciples knelt down.

In the entire hall except for the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and the Yann sisters.

Almost everyone knelt down.

Their eyes, looking up at the Great Elder, were filled with desire.

"Alas! Enough is enough!"

The Great Elder looked into the eyes of the Third Elder and others, sighing helplessly.

"All of you get up. Although I am extremely reluctant to do this, our Artifact Refining Sect should not be afraid of death, but since all of you are unwilling, I have no reason to drag you down with me. If you wish to live, you may go and surrender yourselves," said the Great Elder, waving his hand.

In that instant, he seemed to have aged even more.

"Then Great Elder, you…" the Third Elder asked tentatively.

"Alive, we are people of the Artifact Refining Sect; deceased, we are its ghosts. Since he is our Sect Master, we believe in him. So, if you want to surrender, I won't stop you. But you have no right to stop us," the Great Elder said with righteous words.

"Right, we vow never to surrender," the Yann sisters followed.

"Then, Great Elder, take care of yourself!" The Third Elder saluted the Great Elder and others, then walked straight out of the hall.

The Third Elder conveyed his thoughts to the disciples who were already waiting outside the hall.

Most of them expressed willingness to submit.

Only about one-third of the disciples chose to stay.

"Time's up, all disciples of the Artifact Refining Sect are to be shown no mercy," came a majestic and loud voice from the giant ship above.

Then, the giant ship moved directly above, hovering over the Sect's square.

"My Lord, we are willing to submit, please don't kill us!" the Third Elder hurriedly shouted with the group of disciples.

"The time I gave has passed. It's too late to surrender now! So, all of you must die!"

Xing Tu stood on the ship with his hands behind his back and looked down with an icy and indifferent gaze.

Hearing this, the Third Elder and those disciples all showed looks of despair.

They never expected to be just a step too late.

The Great Elder and Black Hou, among others, had also walked out of the hall by now.

Looking at the Third Elder and the others, their eyes filled with extreme disappointment.

They then looked up at the giant ship in the sky, their eyes resigned to death.

"Would any Artifact Refining Sect disciples dare to die?" the Great Elder shouted loudly.

His voice was loud and passionate.

"Why should we fear death!"

The disciples of the Artifact Refining Sect who had not chosen to leave shouted in unison, each with eyes fierce like tigers, their voices bold.

Although there were only a few hundred of them, their voices were as loud as a bell.

Those disciples who had chosen to surrender heard this resonant sound.

Their faces turned ashen.

Now they found themselves in a true dilemma!
