Divine King of Honour
Chapter 780 - 779: Encounter with an Acquaintance Again

"No big deal, let's keep going!"

Xu Nian didn't mention to Hong Xiang and the others that the Immortal Sword in his hand had trembled.

First, he didn't know how to explain it.

Second, the trembling of the Immortal Sword lasted only a moment before it stopped.

Whether he spoke of it or not, it didn't seem to matter much.

So, Xu Nian and his companions continued on their way towards the city.

In King Jing City, thanks to the influence of the Sword King, Wang Jing, inside the city was exceptionally tranquil, and the people lived and worked in peace and happiness.

Even if cultivators came here, they wouldn't cause trouble lightly.

Of course, that was in the past.

Now, because of the grand ceremony of the Lingxi Sect, numerous cultivators from outside had flooded into North Hill territory.

Thus, King Jing City had gradually begun to descend into disorder.

The current City Lord of King Jing City was someone who coveted comfort and was timid and fearful, not daring to manage the cultivators within the city, deeply afraid of provoking a formidable adversary.

As such, the original peace of King Jing was no longer as it had been.

At this moment, Xu Nian and his group were walking on the streets of King Jing City.

Xu Nian noticed that most of them were cultivators.

On the Tianhen Continent, the esteemed Battle Kings, Battle Saints, and Battle Emperor Level powerhouses were abundant here, easy to find.

Not only that, but one could even occasionally see one or two Zifu Level powerhouses.

It had to be said that Tianlan Continent was indeed much stronger than Tianhen Continent, by more than just a little bit.

Before long, Xu Nian heard a noisy commotion ahead.

Clearly, some conflict had occurred.

The area was surrounded by a considerable number of people.

Originally, Xu Nian didn't want to interfere, but just as he was about to take a detour,

he caught a glimpse of something that piqued his interest.

"Eh!"

Xu Nian let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

"What's the matter?" asked Hong Xiang, puzzled.

With a smile, Xu Nian replied, "I saw an acquaintance! Come on, let's go have a look!"

So, Xu Nian and his companions strode towards the crowd of onlookers ahead.

Hong Xiang was somewhat astonished.

Isn't Xu Nian new to the Cultivation World?

How could he have acquaintances?

Bu Keng, on the other hand, didn't care at all and looked excited.

He was someone who loved to join in on the excitement.

As for Xuan Hong, he was even more indifferent.

Wherever Xu Nian went, he would follow, rarely speaking.

At this moment, the street was surrounded by quite a number of people, with many discussing among themselves.

Xu Nian and his group made their way through the crowd and finally saw what was going on inside.

At the center of the onlookers stood two parties.

One side had only one person.

It was a young-looking man.

He was fairly handsome, though somewhat on the thin side.

His cultivation was not high, merely at the Early Stage Level of Zifu.

At this moment, his expression was extremely solemn.

Amidst his solemnity was also a strong sense of anger and unwillingness.

The other party consisted of four people.

Three men and one woman, all young in appearance.

The three men were all dressed in the same attire, luxurious and yet dashing.

Clearly, they came from the same power.

The expressions on their faces were haughty, and their eyes were filled with mockery and disdain when they looked at the young man opposite them.

As for the woman, she was dressed in a white dress.

Beautiful in appearance, with a graceful figure.

However, her facial expression was one of complexity and impatience.

The strengths of these four individuals were also not particularly high.

Apart from the tall young man who was at the late-stage Zifu level, the beautiful woman and the other two were at the early-stage Zifu level.

Among them, Xu Nian recognized one of the two male cultivators at the early-stage Zifu level.

Yes, it was none other than Duan Tianya, whom Xu Nian had encountered in the secret realm.

After Xu Nian had severely wounded Duan Tianya and Elder Lin with the help of Xuan Hong, Duan Tianya and Elder Lin had returned to the Cultivation World.

Xu Nian had thought it unlikely that he would meet them again.

But unexpectedly, he had crossed paths with them in this small King Jing City.

The clothes that Duan Tianya wore now indicated that

he had joined the Tianxing Sect

and had broken through from the Battle Emperor Realm to the Zifu Realm.

Back then, Xu Nian had found it somewhat difficult to face Duan Tianya.

But now, let alone one Duan Tianya, even ten of him might not be a match for Xu Nian.

So Xu Nian wanted to see whether Duan Tianya was still as arrogant as before.

"You should leave, I have nothing more to do with you. We are ultimately people from two different worlds," the beautiful young woman spoke with an elegant and mellifluous voice, but the tone was cold and merciless.

"Lin Ya, how can you say that? We grew up together, childhood sweethearts. Our hearts were already joined. Have you forgotten all that? Moreover, we are still engaged, and you are my fiancée," the young man opposite her said excitedly, his face pale and pained as he spoke.

"All that was when we were children and didn't know any better; it doesn't count. I am already with Brother Du Peak now. I'll have my father cancel our engagement when I return. If you feel aggrieved, I can ask my father and the sect to compensate you," Lin Ya turned her head away, her eyes seeming to grow more resolute.

The man by her side at late-stage Zifu level, meanwhile, let out a smug chuckle, full of scorn as he looked at the young man.

It was clear that he was the Du Peak the woman mentioned.

Upon hearing this, the young man's eyes immediately filled with a strong sense of humiliation and resentment.

His gaze toward Du Peak was filled with anger.

The feeling of someone snatching away one's woman, how could it not enrage him.

"Kid, Zhang Lin, stop dreaming of reaching beyond your grasp. Sister Lin Ya is not someone you can covet. Let me tell you the truth, Sister Lin Ya has long belonged to Brother Du Peak," Duan Tianya said with a cold laugh, looking over at the young man.

This Zhang Lin, he naturally knew.

His Duan Family, the Lin Family, the Feng Family, and the Zhang Family were the Four Great Families of this continent.

So he naturally knew this second young master of the Zhang Family.

And because Zhang Lin was weak in character, he had always looked down on him.

Now that he had joined the Tianxing Sect, he naturally wanted to mock Zhang Lin thoroughly.

Zhang Lin's fists clenched tightly, knuckles turning white, his fingernails almost piercing into his flesh.

The rage in his eyes was like that of a tiger choosing its prey.

"Lin Ya, is what he said true?" Zhang Lin asked furiously.

Lin Ya's brows knitted slightly, but soon she replied with a firm look and in a cold voice, "Yes, I truly belong to Brother Du Peak now. So please, stop harassing me from now on."

Her voice was clear, cold, and heartless.

Zhang Lin's gaze turned blank, and in extreme anger, he began to laugh mockingly, his eyes filled with self-ridicule.

"Haha, I've been so foolish!" Zhang Lin laughed heartily, his laughter echoing around.

The surrounding onlookers all shook their heads and sighed.

Even if the Zhang Family was powerful, how could they compare to the Tianxing Sect?

People always want to reach a higher position, and water flows to lower ground.

This Du Peak was a well-known disciple of the Tianxing Sect, and his future achievements were bound to surpass those of Zhang Lin.

Lin Ya's choice to be with him was naturally because of Du Peak's status and potential.

Hong Xiang frowned slightly, clearly feeling sorry for Zhang Lin.

Xu Nian, on the other hand, was expressionless. This world was just like that.

Without strength, one would only be looked down upon.

Meanwhile, Bu Keng's eyes sparkled with interest, muttering non-stop, "A real-life engagement annulment? I didn't expect to encounter such a melodramatic scene. Amitabha Buddha! It's truly more thrilling than a novel!"
