Divine King of Honour

Tianhen Star Domain, Tianbao Pavilion Headquarters.

Mei Ji's residence, Shi Guangxu was sitting together with Mei Ji.

"Xu Nian's been gone for almost three months. The day after tomorrow is the last deadline. I wonder if he got that Tao Trace Fruit or not," Shi Guangxu mumbled, shaking his head.

Mei Ji also furrowed her delicate brows, her eyes showing a solemn look.

In the Black Abyss, once people go in, few come out alive, and even if they survive, no one has managed to get out.

She had never wanted Xu Nian to go in, but Xu Nian simply wouldn't listen.

Seemingly noticing Mei Ji's thoughts, Shi Guangxu smiled slightly and said, "Miss Mei Ji, don't tell me you've taken a liking to Xu Nian. But it's natural to like that guy. Not only does he look handsome, his strength is also formidable, more than worthy of Miss Mei Ji."

Upon hearing this, Mei Ji's face turned red, and she glared at this unrestrained guy.

Shi Guangxu seemed indifferent.

"By the way, did your cultivation make a breakthrough?" Mei Ji changed the subject.

"Hmm, with the pills you gave me, I've recently broken through to the Late Stage Tribulation Crossing level. Heh, if Xu returns, he'll be in for quite a shock," Shi Guangxu bragged.

In these three months, he had obtained numerous pill treasures from Tianbao Pavilion.

His strength leaped two realms all at once.

He believed that even if Xu Nian cultivated fast, at best, his strength would be equal to a Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing.

Whereas he could completely show off in front of that guy.

Thinking of Xu Nian's face turning pale at being provoked by him, he felt particularly proud inside.

Mei Ji didn't speak, but in her heart, she murmured, "Can that guy really come back?"

The Black Abyss!

No one has ever come out of there alive.

At least she had never heard of it.

However, she hoped a little when she thought about Xu Nian always achieving the impossible.

"It's bad, Miss Mei Ji, Master Wu Hen is preparing to leave Tianbao Pavilion and head to the Mu Residence." At this moment, a guard rushed in urgently.

Mei Ji had sent him to keep an eye on Master Wu Hen's movements.

Now hearing that Master Wu Hen was leaving Tianbao Pavilion, he naturally rushed to report.

"Master Wu Hen is leaving? Why?" Mei Ji immediately furrowed her brows.

Then she seemed to think of something and, without waiting for the guard to respond, rushed out of the hall towards Master Wu Hen's residence.

Shi Guangxu thought for a moment, and then followed.

Soon, Mei Ji stopped Master Wu Hen outside his residence.

Indeed, Master Wu Hen was about to leave with his hands clasped behind him, heading for the Transmission Array.

"Master Wu Hen, please wait," Mei Ji approached and said.

"Miss Mei Ji, I know what you want to say, but my mind is made up. I must leave," Wu Hen stopped and said to Mei Ji.

Mei Ji frowned and quickly said, "Master Wu Hen, didn't you promise Xu Nian to wait for three months? Now the gambling date hasn't arrived, how can you leave just like that? What if he comes back and can't find you?"

"Come back? Do you really think he could come back from the Black Abyss?" Wu Hen snorted, questioning.

Mei Ji frowned and remained silent.

Seeing Mei Ji not speaking, Wu Hen lost patience and said, "Alright, Fairy Mei Ji, stop talking. If it weren't for your face, I wouldn't have agreed to such an unreasonable bet. No one has ever come out alive from the Black Abyss, and you know it. Let alone getting the Tao Trace Fruit. I've been delayed for three months. This time the Mu Residence offered me ingredients to make the Heavenly Crossing Pill. I need to go to make pills for the next Heavenly Tribulation. Although the Heavenly Crossing Pill isn't as good as the Tribulation Crossing Pill, it's still better than nothing."

After speaking, Wu Hen prepared to continue heading towards the Transmission Array.

Mei Ji still wanted to stop him, but didn't know how to persuade him to stay.

Yes, with only two days left, the hope of Xu Nian's return is very slim.

"Oh, Master Wu Hen, are you afraid of losing and planning to run away early?" However, just then, Shi Guangxu spoke up.

"Hmph, I'm going to lose? Apparently, that guy lost himself. How could I lose? Kid, stop wasting my time. Your provocation doesn't work on me," Wu Hen snorted coldly.

"Oh really? I think you lost. I just received a message from Xu Nian; he's already out of the Black Abyss and is on his way back now. The gambling date hasn't passed, yet you want to escape, isn't that because you're afraid of losing?" Shi Guangxu sneered with disdain.

Upon hearing this, both Wu Hen and Mei Ji were stunned.

"Xu Nian really came out of the Black Abyss?" It was not Wu Hen who spoke, but Mei Ji.

Her pretty face was filled with surprise.

"Yes, he just sent me a message that he's out of the Black Abyss, on his way back, and he's already got the Tao Trace Fruit," Shi Guangxu said.

Upon hearing this, Mei Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She then looked at Master Wu Hen, "Master, now you can stay, right? Haven't you always wanted the Tao Trace Fruit to make the Tribulation Crossing Pill? Now that Xu Nian is back with the Tao Trace Fruit, it's a big event for you."

Hearing that, Master Wu Hen fell into silence.

Did that guy really come out of the Black Abyss?

And bring back the Tao Trace Fruit?

"Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Wu Hen looked at Shi Guangxu and asked. The most up‑to‑date version is on M4VLEMP4YR.

"If you think I'm lying, go ahead and leave. Just hope you don't regret it later," Shi Guangxu sneered.

Hearing this, Wu Hen pondered for a while longer.

Then he spoke up, "Alright, I'll wait another two days. If I don't see the Tao Trace Fruit by then, I'll be the first to kill you. You must know, if I decide to kill you, no one can stop me."

"And if you lose, you better keep your promise," Shi Guangxu replied defiantly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hen flicked his sleeve and left.

Although he didn't believe anyone could come out of the Dark Abyss, Shi Guangxu's words were so assured, it just might be true.

Seeing Master Wu Hen leave, Shi Guangxu let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he seemed to remember something and quickly turned to leave.

"Where are you going? To pick up Xu Nian?" Mei Ji quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Pick up Xu Nian? I'm fleeing for my life! Didn't you hear that old man say he was going to kill me?" Shi Guangxu said with an exasperated face.

Mei Ji was left utterly confused.

What's going on?

Kill you?

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and quickly widened her eyes, "Are you saying all of that was...?"

"Of course it was fake. If I hadn't said that, would he have stayed? As for Xu Nian, who knows where he is? Damn, I really helped him out big this time. I wonder if that kid will ever pay me back?" Shi Guangxu cursed.

"..."

Beside them, Mei Ji was left in total dismay.
