Divine King of Honour

Tianhuang City.

General Zhen Yuan Mansion.

But now, it welcomed three uninvited guests.

"General Zhen Yuan greets the Eighth Prince and the two distinguished guests," Yann Zhenyuan knelt on one knee, respectfully greeting the three figures before him.

He did not know why the Eighth Prince would suddenly come to this remote Tianhuang City.

It was said that the Eighth Prince had already broken through to the Battle Emperor Realm, and Yann Zhenyuan dared not show the slightest negligence.

Moreover, the two people behind him were probably Emperor-level strong men.

Seeing three Emperor-level strong men all at once could not help but make Yann Zhenyuan feel apprehensive.

However, after hearing Yann Zhenyuan's words, the Eighth Prince did not even glance at Yann Zhenyuan.

Yann Zhenyuan knelt on the ground, not receiving any response for a long time, and began to feel increasingly anxious.

He looked up at the Eighth Prince, only to see him looking up at the sky, his expression haughty.

Yann Zhenyuan immediately felt a mix of shame and anger but dared not voice it.

"Hmph, Yann Zhenyuan, do you admit your guilt?"

The Iron Tower man coldly huffed, staring at Yann Zhenyuan as he spoke.

"I am unaware, General," Yann Zhenyuan quickly asked.

"Unaware? You harbor an Imperial fugitive, and you claim you don't know your crimes; are you tired of living?" the Iron Tower man said angrily.

"I am harboring an Imperial fugitive? That's impossible, I don't even know any fugitive," Yann Zhenyuan hurriedly defended.

"Hmph, then do you know Xu Nian?" the Iron Tower man questioned again.

"Xu Nian? How is he an Imperial fugitive? Isn't he just the Hall Master of the Divine River Palace?" asked Yann Zhenyuan, visibly surprised.

Lately, all of Southern Wilderness County had been spreading news about Xu Nian.

Now, Xu Nian's identity was gradually being revealed, so the fact that Xu Nian was the Divine River Palace Master was praised by everyone.

"This Xu Nian killed two Imperial Princes and the Imperial Crown Prince. If he's not a fugitive, what is he? This time the Emperor sent the Eighth Prince to slay this Xu Nian. Speak quickly, where is Xu Nian now?" the Iron Tower man demanded, his eyes filled with wrath.

Upon hearing this, Yann Zhenyuan immediately understood the purpose of these people.

They were after Xu Nian.

Xu Nian had saved Yann Xi and had shown kindness to their Yann Family.

Wouldn't betraying Xu Nian be ungrateful?

"Sir, I honestly do not know where Xu Nian is. He came here once before and then left; I truly do not know where he went," Yann Zhenyuan hastily replied.

"You are lying. Don't think I am unaware that Xu Nian has a deep relationship with your niece. A few days ago, he made a big scene at Commandery City for her, and then he returned to Tianhuang City. Do you take me for a fool?" the Iron Tower man bellowed, his voice mixed with terrifying Imperial might.

"Puh!"

Yann Zhenyuan was directly struck by this Imperial might and spit blood, his expression one of pain.

"If you do not tell the truth, I will kill you myself," the Iron Tower man coldly huffed.

A mere Battle King, lying in front of him, was truly tired of living.

"Sir, I really do not know," Yann Zhenyuan still said, his eyes resolute.

"It seems you really do not want to live," the Iron Tower man grew increasingly angry.

After finishing speaking, he swung his arm.

Immediately, a burst of Gang Qi swept out from the Iron Tower man's hand.

"Puh!"

Yann Zhenyuan was instantly struck by the Gang Qi, his body flying backward.

He slammed directly into a stone pillar, breaking it.

Blood spurted uncontrollably from his mouth.

The strike was terrifying, almost shattering his internal organs.

This was still the Emperor-level strong man sparing his life; otherwise, he would have had no chance of survival at all.

"A mere ant, I'll give you one last chance," the Iron Tower man looked at Yann Zhenyuan and said.

Yann Zhenyuan, clutching his chest, staggered to his feet.

His gaze was as firm as iron, and with blood in his mouth he spoke each word clearly, "I, Yann Zhenyuan, have lived a life without regret, and I die content."

Each word from Yann Zhenyuan resounded with a clang, as if thrown down to the ground.

"Seeking death!"

The Iron Tower man immediately shouted in anger.

Then he launched another blast of Gang Qi.

As the Gang Qi swept out, if Yann Zhenyuan were to be hit, he would undoubtedly die.

"Boom!"

Just then, a figure suddenly dashed from beside Yann Zhenyuan, directly taking him away from the attacking path of the Gang Qi.

At this moment, the Eighth Prince finally turned his attention this way.

Seeing the young man who had suddenly appeared, he hooked up the corners of his mouth in a cold smile.

The young man's eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at the three people including the Eighth Prince.

At the same time, three other figures emerged from behind him.

"You finally decided to show yourselves, I thought you'd keep hiding," Xia Longyuan, the Eighth Prince, said with a slight smirk while looking at the four figures.

Among these four, he recognized three of them.

They were the three Demon Beasts that followed Xu Nian.

As long as he found them, finding Xu Nian wouldn't be far off.

"Hmph, you damn prince, General Yann has defended this frontier for your Imperial Family for decades without much credit or complaints. Now you speak of killing so easily, truly heartless and ungrateful," Xu Yu coldly retorted.

They had been living in the General Mansion during this period.

Yann Zhenyuan had been very welcoming and attentive to them.

Moreover, his willingness to die without revealing the whereabouts of his older brother had deeply moved them.

It must be said, Yann Zhenyuan indeed was an upright person.

"Heartless and ungrateful? They are merely dogs that serve our empire, there's nothing to discuss about credit or hardship. The Imperial Family decides who lives and dies; that is the dignity of our empire, something you Demon Beasts wouldn't understand," Xia Longyuan responded disdainfully.

Xu Yu and the others immediately frowned.

Even Yann Zhenyuan was incredibly angry.

He hadn't expected that after so many years of service, he would be seen only as a mere dog in the eyes of the Imperial Family.

"Damn it, what twisted logic. Eat my iron fork!" the Bull Demon King, too, was enraged by the Eighth Prince's words, swinging his iron fork at him.

"Hum!"

The iron fork charged with immense Demon Energy headed straight for the Eighth Prince.

"Clang!"

However, just as the iron fork was about to hit Xia Longyuan.

The Iron Tower man suddenly reached out his hand, catching the iron fork easily.

"An Eight-star War Saint daring to disrespect His Highness, seeking death!"

The Iron Tower man roared.

He then swung the iron fork back at the Bull Demon King.

The speed and power of the return throw were more than ten times more terrifying than before.

The Bull Demon King was shocked and hurriedly dodged to the side.

But the iron fork was too fast.

Before the Bull Demon King could react, he was impaled through the shoulder by the fork, throwing him backwards.

"Boom!"

The building behind him exploded instantly, the ground shattered.

The Bull Demon King's body was firmly nailed to the ground, his shoulder completely pierced through.

He couldn't move at all.

"Bull Demon King," Xu Nian and Black Wind screamed out in alarm.

"I... I'm not dead yet!" the Bull Demon King struggled to say, painfully pulling out the iron fork.

"Tell me, where is Xu Nian? Otherwise, I will kill you all," the Iron Tower man stepped forward and said disdainfully.
