Divine King of Honour
Chapter 779 - 778: The Immortal Sword Trembles

Lingxi Sect, located in the belly of the Tianlan Continent, at the Beiling Mountain Range.

It governed the entire North Hill region of the Tianlan Continent.

The North Hill region itself boasted hundreds of cities.

The area of just one North Hill was entirely comparable to the whole Tianhen Continent.

Under the control of the Lingxi Sect, North Hill was said to be very stable.

Therefore, in North Hill, the Lingxi Sect was extremely beloved and respected by the people.

Because of the Sect ceremony taking place, a large number of people were rushing from all directions towards North Hill.

And the whole North Hill region suddenly became lively.

Xu Nian and his group had headed north, traveling for a full seven days.

At last, they set foot within the territory of North Hill.

They were less than three days' journey from the Beiling Mountain Range where the Lingxi Sect was located.

"King Jing City?"

Xu Nian muttered as he looked at the three big characters on the city gate.

The reason he paid attention to these three characters was that Xu Nian felt a strong presence of Sword Qi emanating from them.

"This is King Jing City?" Hong Xiang also looked at the three characters on the city gate and said.

"You know about this?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

Bu Keng also turned his head to look at Hong Xiang.

Hong Xiang nodded and said, "This King Jing City is quite famous in the North Hill region and even throughout the entire Tianlan Continent because ever since I was little, I was raised on Dark God Island. Therefore, the servants often told me about things concerning the Tianlan Continent, including some notable anecdotes about King Jing City!"

"Oh? There's an anecdote? Do tell!" Bu Keng said with a look of curiosity.

Hong Xiang gave Bu Keng a disgruntled glance.

Through their time spent together,

they also found that aside from loving money, Bu Keng also had a gossipmonger's heart.

So whenever there was any news, he'd get curious and come over.

Of course, his propensity for gossip was actually connected to his love of wealth.

Greedy for treasures, he'd inquire everywhere for information, hoping to find business opportunities within these details.

Bu Keng scratched his head in embarrassment and hastily explained, "Come on, tell us. Xu Nian wants to hear too!"

With a sense of resignation, Hong Xiang still began, "Originally, King Jing City was not named as such. It was called Tiefeng City. One day, a powerful Demon Cultivator arrived. This Demon Cultivator was not only very strong but also extremely cruel. He refined Blood Pills using human blood to enhance his own power. To create the Blood Pills, he was preparing to slaughter the entire city. The City Lord of Tiefeng City at that time was Wang Jing. He was a Cultivator, wholly dedicated to his practice and also very powerful. To protect the city's residents, he fought a heroic battle against the Demon Cultivator that lasted ten days and nights, eventually slaying the Demon Cultivator. However, he was also severely wounded in the process."

"Oh? So is King Jing City named by the city's inhabitants to thank him for his deed?" Bu Keng quickly asked.

Yet, Hong Xiang shook her head and said, "No, it was not the residents who changed it, but Wang Jing himself renamed it. The three characters of King Jing City were also carved by his own hand. Although it has been a very long time, the characters still emit a strong Sword Qi."

"Interesting. He slew a Demon Cultivator for the people and then renamed the city after himself. It's clear he wanted future generations to remember his great achievements. Didn't he find such actions beneath his dignity?" Bu Keng said with a laugh.

A hint of curiosity also emerged in Xu Nian's heart.

Indeed, he shared Bu Keng's sentiment.

Originally, a peerless powerful figure, in times of peril for the world, took on a massive challenge.

He fought a Demon for ten days and nights, ultimately killing it, a deed worthy of being exalted.

But his additional act instead made the world feel antipathetic.

"At first, the residents of the city felt the same way. However, since he saved everyone's lives, everyone decided to consider it a recompense for his life-risking rescue. Later generations did not praise Wang Jing much, until five hundred years later when a famous Swordsman arrived here and spoke a few words. That day, all the residents of the city knelt down for two hours to express their guilt and gratitude towards the elder Wang Jing," Hong Xiang continued.

As she spoke, her expression grew solemn, and her eyes shone with a sense of respect.

Surprise and confusion appeared on the faces of Xu Nian and Bu Keng.

Even Xuan Hong next to them looked astonished.

The entire populace of the city had knelt for six hours—what a staggering scene it was.

Even if they could not witness it with their own eyes, they could still imagine the scene of tens of thousands kneeling in unison.

"What exactly did he say, stop beating around the bush!" Bu Keng urgently exclaimed.

"That swordsman said those three words were indeed the Sword Qi Residual Soul condensed by the City Lord of King Jing City with his very last soul. It was to deter the demons from all directions and to protect the citizens of King Jing City for a thousand years. Wang Jing himself, who could have been reincarnated, was forever deprived of rebirth because his soul was turned into a Sword Qi soul by his own hands," Hong Xiang said, her eyes filled with an even deeper respect.

Xu Nian and Bu Keng also showed looks of surprise.

They had not expected Wang Jing to have made a sacrifice so great that he would be forever unable to attain reincarnation for the sake of the citizens.

Such a sacrifice was too great!

Putting himself in that position, Xu Nian knew he could not do it.

As a result, the way they looked at the three words "King Jing City" became filled with exceptional veneration.

As for why he renamed Tiefeng City to King Jing City, it seemed as if he was prideful of his achievements.

In reality, he did it as a way to let the world forget all that he had done, offering his silent devotion.

Even at the expense of bearing a bad name.

Xu Nian felt a deep reverence in his heart, just for what Wang Jing had done.

This city's name truly deserved the words "King Jing"!

"Let's go, let's enter the city!"

After a long while, Xu Nian sighed and spoke.

Hong Xiang and the others also composed their emotions, ready to enter the city.

"Hum!"

However, just at that moment, Xu Nian suddenly stopped the step he has just taken.

A thought crossed his mind.

An Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.

But what surprised him the most was.

The Immortal Sword in his hand was trembling incessantly.

Xu Nian's expression showed astonishment.

Why did the Immortal Sword in his hand suddenly start trembling without reason?

And it was not just this one sword.

All the sharp swords within his storage ring were trembling.

"What in the world is happening?" Xu Nian wondered in his heart.

Suddenly, he raised his head sharply, looking up at the three characters of "King Jing City" on the city gate tower.

This glance immediately filled Xu Nian's heart with alarm.

The three characters, which had initially been brimming with Sword Qi, now seemed utterly ordinary.

There was no trace of Sword Qi at all.

When he had looked at the three characters before,

there was a fierce Sword Qi present.

But now, it had suddenly vanished.

Could the disappearance of the Sword Qi be related to the trembling of the sword in his hand?

"What's wrong, Xu Nian?" Hong Xiang oddly looked at Xu Nian and asked.

Xu Nian's sudden halt had puzzled them.

Xu Nian gave Hong Xiang a glance, noticing that she seemed to have not experienced anything similar to what had happened to him.

In other words, the tremors of the sharp swords.

Happened only to Xu Nian himself.
