Divine King of Honour

The surrounding crowd were startled by the sudden burst of laughter; all of them looked up towards the sky.

The Black River Elder, too, looked up in astonishment at the sky, where a towering man like an iron tower stood.

This Iron Tower-like man stood in the void, looking down from above, emitting no aura from his body, yet imposing an immense feeling of oppression on everyone below, including the Black River Elder himself.

The Black River Elder was shocked; the arrival of this person had been completely undetected by him, and not a hint of aura could be felt from him. Only a Saint could achieve this!

A mighty one of the Saint Realm!

The Black River Elder's heart pounded wildly; how could a master of such caliber appear here?

"Master!"

Upon seeing this Iron Tower-like man, Xu Nian's face revealed an ecstatic joy.

"Haha, my good disciple, I haven't seen you for a few months, yet you have made such rapid progress!" The Iron Tower-like man laughed heartily, and in a flash, he was in front of Xu Nian, his eyes filled with doting affection while looking at him.

All the people around, hearing the words of this mighty one, showed expressions of extreme shock.

Wasn't Xu Nian the disciple of Leng Yanran?

How come there's another Master now?

The dying Leng Yanran was also filled with astonishment; during the trial, she had suspected that Xu Nian had a powerful figure behind him, but she never expected that it would truly be a master of the Saint Level.

Of course, the most shocked at the moment was still the Black River Elder; he never imagined that Xu Nian would have another Master, and moreover, at the Saint Level.

"Master, quick, help me save my beautiful Master, she has been poisoned by this old man's deadly toxin," Xu Nian urgently said to Bai Tianhan.

"Beautiful Master?" Bai Tianhan gave Leng Yanran a meaningful look, then teased, "She must be the one your heart pines for, right? Not bad, a Xuanyin Physique, One-star Marquis Level, barely worthy of my disciple!"

Everyone around rolled their eyes in unison.

Damn, a Marquis Level is only barely worthy of your disciple? Do you think your disciple is made of gold?

"Master, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and make a move; she's not going to last much longer!" Xu Nian said anxiously.

"Alright, alright, I'm acting now. A little poison is nothing to worry about; with me here, she won't be able to die even if she wanted to!" Bai Tianhan quickly agreed.

After speaking, he sent a palm strike towards Leng Yanran from afar, and a formidable energy surged into her body, followed by black qi dissipating from her.

As the black qi cleared, a hint of color slowly returned to Leng Yanran's complexion.

It wasn't long before Leng Yanran opened her eyes and stood up, thanking Bai Tianhan, "Thank you, senior, for saving me!"

Bai Tianhan waved his hand dismissively, "We're all family here, no need for formalities. Just be good to my disciple from now on!"

Leng Yanran was stunned, sensing some ambiguity in Bai Tianhan's words, but she couldn't refute it and merely nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Black River Elder was completely dumbfounded and speechless, realizing that someone who could so easily dispel his poison must be of the Saint Realm, if not higher.

Facing such a powerful figure, he had no desire to escape, because escape was impossible.

"Senior... senior, I was blind to not recognize Mount Tai and offended your disciple. I beg for your forgiveness!" Black River Elder hurriedly pleaded.

Hearing Black River Elder's words, Bai Tianhan finally turned his head to look at him, but his expression was not the same smiling face that he showed Xu Nian; it was instead cold and stern.

"Hmph, you wanted to kill my disciple; your apologies are useless!" Bai Tianhan snorted coldly and then extended a hand.

As Bai Tianhan stretched out his hand, a giant palm materialized above the Qin Family Mansion's airspace. This palm, nearly twenty meters in length, exuded a terrifying oppressive force the moment it appeared.

The Black River Elder, upon seeing the giant palm emerge, his face instantly darkened, and he hurriedly tried to flee into the air.

"Thinking of escaping? You're seeking death!"

Bai Tianhan coldly snorted and pressed his palm downward.

The giant phantom palm, hovering above the courtyard, plummeted in an instant, crushing the Black River Elder from the sky and slamming him viciously onto the ground.

The earth quaked and mountains shook, houses collapsed, and dust filled the sky.

The Qin family disciples, watching from afar, were all shocked, their eyes wide open, unable to utter a word.

Not just them—even Leng Yanran revealed a shocked expression.

Such a frightening palm, even if she faced it, she would not possess any power to resist.

As the dust settled, a gigantic five-finger imprint appeared in the middle of the Qin Family Mansion, nearly two meters deep, and the Black River Elder's body had become mush, dead beyond doubt.

To kill the Black River Elder with a single palm strike—what kind of strength was this?

The Qin Family Ancestor and Qin Yuanshan climbed up from the rubble, and seeing the scene before them, they swallowed hard, feeling as if their hearts would stop. As they looked again at the figure in the white robe, their eyes were filled with nothing but awe.

Yet, Bai Tianhan was not concerned in the slightest, having used less than ten percent of his strength.

If he had truly used his full power, not to mention the entire Qin Mansion, half of Tianhai City would probably be in ruins.

A true powerhouse, with every move, could overturn mountains and seas, destroy the heavens and the earth.

"Good disciple, the rest is up to you. You may do as you wish. If anyone dares to resist, I will kill everyone here!" Bai Tianhan turned and said to Xu Nian with a smile.

However, when he spoke, everyone around trembled in fear, knowing that the latter part of his statement was directed at them.

Especially Qin Yuanshan and Qin Ba—bitterness filled their eyes.

Never could they have imagined that the abandoned child of yesteryear now wielded such immense power.

After nodding to Bai Tianhan, Xu Nian turned to face Qin Yuanshan and demanded, "Tell me, how did my mother really die, and where is her body now? If you dare to lie to me, I will make everyone in the Qin family accompany her in death."

Qin Yuanshan was momentarily stunned. In the past, he certainly would have cursed Xu Nian for his impudence, but now he dared not do so.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Qin Nian... oh no, Xu Nian, your mother... she is not dead!" Qin Yuanshan said to Xu Nian.

"Yes, she really isn't dead," Qin Ba echoed.

"Not dead?" Xu Nian was immediately overjoyed and asked eagerly, "Where is she now?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuanshan glanced at Qin Ba, who gave him a nod, and then he began, "Your mother is not in the Qin Mansion. She was taken away by someone!"

"Taken away? Who would take away my mother? And where to?" Xu Nian asked in bewilderment, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yuanshan said, looking squarely at Xu Nian, "I originally didn't want to tell you, but since you truly wish to know, then I shall reveal everything to you."

Stay tuned for updates on empire

Hearing this, Xu Nian grew even more puzzled. With Qin Yuanshan's expression, could it be that there was some huge secret hidden with his mother?

"Have you ever heard of the Longyu Mountain Xu Family?" Qin Yuanshan began.

"Longyu Mountain Xu Family?" Xu Nian looked confused.

However, Leng Yanran, standing behind Xu Nian, suddenly turned pale.
