Divine King of Honour-Chapter 766 - 765: The Fox Exploiting the Tiger’s Might

Hong Xiang and Bu Keng were also taken aback.

They immediately turned their heads to look behind them.

There, they saw an exceedingly beautiful woman dressed in a black gown holding an ancient zither, approaching from afar.

She was as beautiful as a fairy from a painting, but the chilling aura she exuded was like that of a Rashamon emerging from hell.

Nevertheless, Hong Xiang and Bu Keng still recognized Xu Nian, who was following behind the woman.

They did not know the identity of the woman.

But they knew that this lady in the black gown was the reinforcement Xu Nian had mentioned before.

"It's the Rashamon City Lord? It's you!" Feng Yan recognized the lady in the black gown at a glance.

However, he did not expect that he would actually draw the Rashamon City Lord here.

Considering that the Rashamon City Lord was an expert at the Early Stage Level of the Cave Void Realm,

he, being at the Zifu Peak Level, naturally was no match for her.

If the Rashamon City Lord decided to intervene, there was a good chance his operation today would end in failure.

But he was confident that the Rashamon City Lord would not dare to kill him.

After all, he was the Young Family Head of the Feng Family.

"Rashamon City Lord, what do you intend to do? Do you really wish to become enemies with the Feng Family?" Feng Yan asked coldly.

But he was somewhat surprised in his heart.

He had long heard of the Rashamon City Lord's fame.

Yet it was his first time meeting her,

and he had not expected that the Rashamon City Lord would be so beautiful.

Even compared to the lady in red, she was a few notches more attractive.

Hong Xiang and Bu Keng finally understood the identity of the woman in the black gown.

So Xu Nian had gone to seek out the City Lord of this city.

"Hmph, release the children and take your people out of Rashamon City. This city is no place for your wild behavior," the Rashamon City Lord said coldly and decisively.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yan's brows immediately furrowed.

While he was lustful,

he hadn't lost his sense of proportion to his desires.

So, when he heard the Rashamon City Lord's words, anger surged in his heart.

"Rashamon City Lord, are you sure you do not want to reconsider, truly wishing to become enemies with the Feng Family? You should know what happens to those who oppose my Feng Family," Feng Yan immediately threatened.

"I'll say it once more, release the children, and I will spare you from death. Otherwise, none of you will leave this city alive today," the Rashamon City Lord declared with an overpowering presence,

completely unfazed by Feng Yan's threat.

"Very well, Rashamon City Lord, just you wait!" Feng Yan dropped these words.

Then he attempted to turn around and flee.

The Rashamon City Lord's gaze instantly sharpened.

The ancient zither floated directly in front of her.

"Clang!"

The Rashamon City Lord fiercely plucked the strings of her zither.

The resonant sound was like a phoenix singing to the heavens, peerlessly clear and melodious.

In an instant, it was as if fierce winds had arisen in the sky.

Feng Yan, who had already leapt into the air, was as if slammed in the chest by a giant hammer.

He was heavily smashed onto the ground,

creating a large, deep crater on the street.

Xu Nian, who had witnessed the lethal power of the Rashamon City Lord's Zither Sound before, was not surprised.

But Hong Xiang and Bu Keng were both shocked to their core.

To use zither strings as a weapon,

to kill with the sound of music!

Such a method was truly a first for them.

"Well played, Jade Hand Yama, wielding the Ancient Temple Immortal Sound. The reputation of Rashamon City Lord is indeed extraordinary," Feng Yan said as he climbed out of the hole, covering his mouth.

His eyes toward the Rashamon City Lord also turned extremely venomous.

"Release the children, or the next moment will be when your head falls to the ground," the Rashamon City Lord said coldly.

The voice was as cold as frost, freezing the surroundings within miles.

Feng Yan narrowed his eyes, his gaze brimming with anger and unwillingness to concede.

But at this moment, he simply was no match for the City Lord of Rashamon City. If he continued to fight, it would only lead to a dead end.

"Fine, my Feng Family admits defeat this time, but we will definitely seek retribution for today's enmity," Feng Yan said immediately.

After speaking, he threw the iron cage to the City Lord of Rashamon City.

He wasn't afraid that the City Lord of Rashamon City would go back on her word.

After all, everyone knew that the City Lord of Rashamon City always kept her promises.

The City Lord of Rashamon City took the cage and, after checking that the children inside were all safe and sound,

she let out a slight breath of relief.

Although her action was a subtle shrug of her shoulders,

it was still noticed by Xu Nian, who stood behind her.

This made Xu Nian feel a sudden increase in esteem for the City Lord of Rashamon City,

indicating that the City Lord of Rashamon City had been worried about the safety of these children all along.

Feng Yan was also planning to turn around and leave.

The City Lord of Rashamon City had no intention of stopping him.

On the side, Hong Xiang and Bu Keng both frowned, wondering if that was really the end of it.

"Does the Young Family Head really plan on leaving just like this?"

However, just at that moment, a hearty voice rang out.

Next, everyone saw Xu Nian, who had been standing behind the City Lord of Rashamon City, slowly step forward.

A faint smile graced his face.

When Xu Nian stepped out, everyone was taken aback.

Especially Feng Yan.

He had originally thought that this young man was merely a servant of the City Lord of Rashamon City.

But now that he had spoken, it was clear it wasn't so simple.

A look of surprise also flickered through the deep eyes of the City Lord of Rashamon City.

Yet, she said nothing.

She had been curious about this young man's identity from the moment he appeared.

But she had come up with nothing.

Zifu Early-stage, yet able to withstand her Zither Sound strikes—she had never encountered such a person before.

"Who are you? What right have you to speak here?" Feng Yan, already furious, became even angrier when he saw that the one speaking was yet another young man at the Zifu Early-stage level, and he could not help but feel displeased.

Xu Nian was not at all offended. He looked at Feng Yan and said with a light laugh, "Young Master Feng, going back so defeated, aren't you afraid of being scolded? Your father sent you out to accomplish a task; not only did you fail, but you also lost four guards. I'm afraid you won't escape punishment upon your return, will you?"

"Humph, it's none of your damned business whether I get scolded or not," Feng Yan retorted angrily, his ire growing with every word.

"Is that so? But I do recall your father warning you not to enter Rashamon City and instead to capture children from the nearby villages, didn't he?" Xu Nian said with a cold smile.

Feng Yan was shocked at his words, and instantly fixed a piercing gaze on Xu Nian: "You... how do you know that?"

The City Lord of Rashamon City, too, cast a curious look at Xu Nian.

Hong Xiang and Bu Keng were also puzzled.

They did not understand what Xu Nian was up to.

But Xu Nian just smiled faintly and said, "Not only do I know that, but I also know that the Medicine King asked you to capture these children to use them as bait to feed the Iron Blood Demon Spider."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yan was even more alarmed.

Then, as if realizing something, he sneered, "You eavesdropped on our conversation? You are the one who reported to the City Lord of Rashamon City!"

"Not bad, you managed to think of that," Xu Nian said with a light laugh.

"You're courting death!"

Feng Yan was furious and immediately moved to attack Xu Nian.

But Xu Nian took a step back, standing right next to the City Lord of Rashamon City.

Feng Yan immediately halted his steps, not daring to make another move.

He was uncertain about the young man's exact relationship with the City Lord of Rashamon City.

The City Lord of Rashamon City was also looking at Xu Nian.

She had not expected to be made use of in such a manner by someone else.
