Divine King of Honour Chapter 481: Fang Tianying's Provocation

"Brother, why did you drink it?"

Xu Yu and Black Wind's voices suddenly rose in Xu Nian's mind.

They had never expected that, despite their warnings, their elder brother would still drink the poisoned wine.

"Don't worry, your brother isn't foolish," Xu Nian's voice echoed in the minds of Black Wind and Xu Yu.

Upon hearing this, Black Wind and Xu Yu felt relieved and said no more.

However, they still harbored so worries.

This Tianyao Powder was unlike other poisons; neither Spiritual Energy nor Gang Qi could encapsulate it.

They deeply feared that Xu Nian, being careless, might actually get poisoned.

"Ha ha, Brother Xu really can hold his liquor. This Jade Spirit Wine is extrely potent. Those who can't hold their liquor get drunk from just one cup, but Brother Xu drank a whole cup and seems fine. It seems he really has a good capacity," the Crown Prince Xiahou Chun laughed heartily.

At this mont, his heart was particularly exhilarated.

Xu Nian had drunk the poisoned wine, which, to him, ant that Xu Nian was already in the palm of his hand.

Next, he just needed to wait for another key figure to arrive tonight, then he could set his plan into motion.

"Leng Family has arrived!"

Just then, a voice from a eunuch rang out from outside the hall.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Crown Prince Xiahou Chun's face grew even thicker.

Xu Nian, however, frowned.

Could she also be coming?

Indeed, as Xu Nian turned his head towards the direction of the hall, his expression suddenly froze.

He saw two young n and an exceptionally beautiful woman in a plain dress entering.

Xu Nian's gaze firmly fixed on the woman in the plain dress, his eyes becoming complex.

The woman seed to have noticed Xu Nian as well; her expression changed, her eyes flickering with panic, but she quickly regained her composure.

Accompanied by the two young n, she walked to the Leng Family's position.

From the mont the woman appeared at the doorway until she sat down, Xu Nian did not take his eyes off her.

Indeed, this stunningly beautiful woman was none other than Leng Yanran.

"This Crown Prince actually invited Leng Yanran. It seems he wants to kill in front of Leng Yanran. He really is going to great lengths," Xu Nian thought with a cold sneer.

He knew that Leng Yanran's appearance was no coincidence, surely the Crown Prince had intentionally invited her.

Otherwise, with her character, she would absolutely not attend this kind of ceremonial banquet.

At this mont, Xiahou Chun's face was actually not much better.

From the mont Leng Yanran entered the hall to her taking her seat, she hadn't given him, the Crown Prince, a single glance.

Moreover, the panicked look Leng Yanran gave Xu Nian did not escape the Crown Prince's eyes.

This filled him with an even stronger killing intent.

"Hmph, you pair of dogs, tonight I'll let you know the consequences of betraying , Xiahou Chun. Bitch, you like Xu Nian, right? I'll let you watch with your own eyes as Xu Nian is killed, and you, Xu Nian, I'll make you watch your beloved woman being toyed with by before you die," a fierce light flashed across Xiahou Chun's eyes.

But this fierce light was quickly suppressed, replaced once again by the warm smile from before.

At this mont, Leng Yanran's eyebrows were tightly knit.

She initially thought this was just a regular banquet.

Pressured to attend by the clan elders.

But the mont she saw Xu Nian, she realized sothing was wrong.

It was clearly a trap set by the Crown Prince specifically for Xu Nian.

Yet, wasn't she supposed to have already completely rejected Xu Nian?

Why would Xu Nian still accept the Crown Prince's invitation to attend the banquet?

The thought of Xu Nian potentially facing danger made Leng Yanran's heart chaotic.

"Brother Xu, I've heard that your strength is extraordinary, and that your understanding and realm have reached a very high level. Would you grace everyone with a demonstration?" Xiahou Chun spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian knew that Xiahou Chun was starting to make his move.

First, he would have him drink the poisoned wine, then find an opportunity to have soone challenge him to a duel.

During the duel, Xu Nian's spiritual energy would surge uncontrollably, and his cultivation would beco uncontrollable.

Then, taking advantage of this, his opponent would either kill him or severely injure him.

It was a foolproof plan.

"Your Highness flatters . My modest strength need not embarrass itself, better not to dampen everyone's spirits," Xu Nian deliberately tried to decline.

"Brother Xu, what are you saying? We are all cultivators, and the Tianhen Empire especially values cultivation. It is perfectly normal for us to learn from each other through challenges. I wonder which brother below would like to exchange a few moves with Lord Xu?" Xiahou Chun said with a smile.

Nonsense, making Xu Nian fight was part of his plan all along.

How could he possibly let Xu Nian easily decline?

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice ca from below.

"I'll co forward, Fang Tianying of the Fang Family, a Four-star Body Saint, would like to experience Lord Xu's strength. I wonder if Lord Xu dares?"

From within the Fang Family, a muscular young man stepped forward, shouting loudly.

His eyes, filled with killing intent, were fixed on Xu Nian.

With Fang Tianying's words, everyone's eyes turned toward Xu Nian.

Feeling their gaze, Xu Nian also revealed a smile.

This was Xiahou Chun's purpose.

Forcing him to fight and not withdraw.

If he declined any further, others would say he was too cowardly to accept the challenge.

But if he fought, the poison in his body would full activate as his spiritual energy circulated.

Then, he would indeed be at Xiahou Chun's rcy.

"Brother Xu, why not show us a move or two? Fang Tianying is the second genius of the Fang Family, and he possesses great physical strength. I've heard you practice Spirit Body Dual Cultivation and your Body Cultivation is also quite formidable. Fang Tianying would be a suitable opponent for you. Everyone's watching, don't let them down," Xiahou Chun continued with a smile.

"Exactly, co out and have a fight, let everyone see what's special about the newly promoted Divine River Palace Master," soone imdiately echoed from below.

Among the crowd, Leng Yanran's brows were tightly knit, her eyes full of concern.

Beside her, two young n looked on with amusent in their eyes.

"So this is the Xu Nian you praised to the skies? He doesn't seem that special. He even dares not accept Fang Tianying's challenge; perhaps you overexaggerated," Leng Wuqing looked at Xu Nian and said lightly to Leng Cangfeng beside him.

Leng Cangfeng smirked slightly.

"Whether he's special or not, you will find out soon enough. And haven't you noticed that none of the Xu Family are here? I heard that Xu Nian caused quite a stir at the Xu Family recently," Leng Cangfeng said with a smile.

Leng Wuqing glanced around and indeed noticed that three of the Four Great Families' geniuses were present, except the Xu family.

Given that Xu Bai was on good terms with the Crown Prince,

his absence at such a banquet was clearly abnormal.

"So you an that Xu Bai has already..." Leng Wuqing started to ask.

Leng Cangfeng rely smiled and said, "Just watch, I have a feeling we won't be here for nothing tonight."

Leng Wuqing nodded at this.

However, he turned to look at his sister, who seed distracted.

He felt there was sothing odd about her today.
