Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian looked at Chu Hen, who wore a smile on his face, and felt nothing but disdain in his heart.

Chu Hen really knew how to act, clearly wanting to deal with him.

Yet he put on a very arrogant front, which could be said to be extremely hypocritical.

Towards such a hypocrite, Xu Nian simply couldn't be bothered.

Chu Hen immediately furrowed his brows. He had come forward to greet, but Xu Nian had ignored him.

After all, Chu Hen was the Young Master of the continent's number one merchant association, and Xu Nian dared to disregard him like that.

Now, Chu Hen was even more convinced of Chu Lin's words—that Xu Nian was unbearably arrogant.

His dissatisfaction with Xu Nian grew even stronger.

"What are you so arrogant about? Do you even know who stands before you? He is the Young Master of the number one merchant association in the world, controlling the entire empire's economic lifeline. You, a mere Artifact Refining Sect Master, what is there for you to be proud of?" said the woman disdainfully.

Her eyes were full of mockery.

Xu Nian glanced at the woman.

She was fairly attractive, above average—probably on the same level as Zhao Qingqing.

She appeared young, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, yet her cultivation had already reached the One-star Battle King Realm.

However, her cultivation seemed a bit inflated, as if it had been forcefully elevated by some external means.

Xu Nian immediately noticed that this woman was trying to curry favor with Chu Hen.

Thus, to gain more cultivation resources from Chu Hen.

Such female cultivators, who climbed up step by step by trading their bodies for cultivation resources, were numerous in Xu Nian's experience, and he didn't bother to judge their actions.

However, this female cultivator, in trying to ingratiate herself with Chu Hen, was using cold derision and hot sarcasm against him, which annoyed Xu Nian.

Chu Hen, hearing the woman's flattery by his side, felt very pleased.

Yet he glared at her and angrily said, "When men are talking, since when is it your turn to interject?"

After speaking, he turned back to Xu Nian with a smile and said, "I've heard, Brother Xu Nian, that you've killed quite a few Holy Realm experts and your talent is exceedingly extraordinary, so you must have stepped into the Holy Realm by now?"

"Just speak plainly," Xu Nian coldly scoffed in response.

Holy Realm?

Chu Hen was really underestimating him.

"It's like this—we recently spotted a Red Zhu Yan Divine Beast, and we want to subdue it. However, the cultivation of this Zhu Yan isn't low. But with Brother Xu Nian's help, I believe we can definitely capture it," Chu Hen said with a smile.

"Red Fire Zhu Yan?" Xu Nian was startled.

He hadn't planned on listening to Chu Hen's nonsense.

But when he heard the words Red Fire Zhu Yan, he became interested.

Wasn't the Demon Saint that had abducted Yann Xi a Red Fire Zhu Yan?

"As long as Brother Xu is willing to help, once the task is accomplished, our number one merchant association is willing to pay you ten Saint Essence Pills. What do you think about that, Brother Xu?" Chu Hen spoke up.

Ten Saint Essence Pills?

The woman and Chu Lin by his side were both taken aback.

Such a pill was incredibly precious, and even to Holy Level powerhouses, it was an extremely valuable pill.

Was his brother trying to deal with Xu Nian, or was he actually helping him?

Besides, capturing this Zhu Yan didn't require Xu Nian at all!

Hearing this, Xu Nian slightly furrowed his brows.

He felt something was odd about the situation.

Red Fire Zhu Yan was at the peak of the Demon Saint level, it was simply impossible for Chu Hen and his group of four to capture it.

It seemed that the Zhu Yan they mentioned and the one who captured Yann Xi were not the same Zhu Yan.

"What is the cultivation level of that Red Fire Zhu Yan you mentioned?" Xu Nian asked.

"Not high, just at Three-star Demon King Level. It must have just been born not long ago. It's still a little demon beast. We encountered it on the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest and thought of subduing it. However, unexpectedly, it was very cunning and actually ran away. In fact, with our strength, capturing it wouldn't have been an issue. But since this is the inner part of the Demon Beast Forest, if we encountered a Holy Realm Demon Beast, I simply couldn't handle it. That's why I thought of asking Brother Xu to make a move and capture that little Zhu Yan with us," Chu Hen explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian immediately understood the situation.

It was just a little Zhu Yan.

No wonder these guys wanted to pursue it.

After all, if they could subdue such a little Zhu Yan, once it grew up, it would undoubtedly be a peerless combat force.

However, realizing this, Xu Nian inwardly scoffed.

These few really didn't know whether to live or die.

Since this little Zhu Yan was a Divine Beast Zhu Yan, how could it not be valued highly?

If he guessed right, this little Zhu Yan must have some connection with that Zhu Yan Demon Saint.

After all, Divine Beast Zhu Yan was very rare; the appearance of one was already extremely uncommon.

To say that these two demon beasts had no relation, Xu Nian would never believe it.

With Chu Hen and their mere cultivation, to capture this little Zhu Yan, how could the Zhu Yan Demon Saint not intervene?

However, Chu Hen's words did give Xu Nian a new idea.

If he just rushed into the deepest part of the Demon Beast Forest, he might not be able to find Yann Xi.

But if he captured this little Zhu Yan, perhaps he could learn something from the mouth of that Zhu Yan Demon Saint.

"I wonder what Brother Xu thinks?" Chu Hen continued to ask.

He felt that Xu Nian would definitely agree.

After all, ten Saint Essence Pills were not a small fortune.

"Fine, I agree," Xu Nian nodded in agreement.

In fact, he didn't care about the Saint Essence Pills at all.

Not to mention anything else, although Artifact Refining Sect might not be able to produce ten Saint Essence Pills,

Divine River Palace certainly could.

As the Divine River Palace Master, why would Xu Nian care about these ten Saint Essence Pills?

Seeing Xu Nian agree, Chu Hen immediately showed a smile on his face.

However, mixed in that smile was a hint of craftiness.

"Hen, why would you give ten Saint Essence Pills to this guy? Ten Saint Essence Pills, that's a huge fortune," Shi Lan complained to Xu Nian after he walked away.

"Yeah, big brother, those ten Saint Essence Pills are not a small sum, that's more than half of our company's wealth," Chu Lin also asked with a puzzled face.

"What do you know, how would I really give it to him, Xu Nian has likely reached Holy Realm, and dealing with him is not easy. Besides, as the Artifact Refining Sect Master, why wouldn't the storage ring have treasures? Didn't you say the Dragon Vein was also on him? Killing him, we would definitely reap huge benefits," Chu Hen said with a cold smirk.

"What do you mean by this, big brother?" Upon hearing Chu Hen's words, Chu Lin and Shi Lan's eyes also lit up.

"I'm now going to bring Xu Nian with us to capture Zhu Yan. When he helps us capture Zhu Yan, he will definitely be severely depleted. Did you forget, I have a Heavenly Thunder Talisman in my hands? Wouldn't it be easy to kill him then?" Chu Hen spoke.

Chu Lin and Shi Lan, hearing this, also showed a cold smile on their faces.

The Heavenly Thunder Talisman was immensely powerful, and a regular Battle Saint Level could not withstand it.

Chu Hen's strategy was truly killing two birds with one stone, earning their great admiration.

Xu Nian, standing at a distance, heard their words clearly.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

Thinking of outwitting him, Chu Hen probably didn't know that Xu Nian was known as the Little Fox.
