Divine King of Honour

After slaying the Black Widow, there was no longer any obstruction within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

After collecting the Black Widow's body, Xu Nian led Murong Xue and Feng Cheng towards the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

The reason for keeping the Black Widow's body was that her eight spider legs had been tempered to form an Immortal Body.

They could completely be used as artifact refining materials, integrating into weapons.

The eight spider legs could be used to forge dozens of top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.

Xu Nian didn't need them himself, but they would greatly enhance the battle strength of the Heavenly Court Gang.

As they progressed, they finally reached the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

In this depth of the mountain, there was an Immortal Pool shrouded in a layer of mist.

A rich Immortal Qi emanated from it.

However, surrounding the Immortal Qi was a transparent barrier.

Through this barrier, Xu Nian saw the four women sitting cross-legged by the Immortal Pool, focused on cultivation.

Clearly, they were trapped and couldn't get out of the barrier.

Suspended above the Immortal Pool was a red mark.

This mark seemed like both a character and a strange rune.

The existence of this rune was maintaining the barrier.

If his guess was correct, this rune should be the Token of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

"That is the Ten Thousand Beasts Seal, possessing it grants the qualification to enter the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain," Feng Cheng explained.

He eyed the mark with intense desire.

Xu Nian, however, had no interest in that mark; he only wanted to break through the barrier and rescue the four women.

"Step aside, let me see if I can cut through this barrier," Xu Nian said.

Murong Xue and Feng Cheng immediately stepped aside.

Xu Nian directly summoned the King Jing Sword and struck the transparent barrier with one blow.

The sword light was fierce, cutting through the sky.

However, when his Sword Radiance struck the transparent barrier, it only rippled and failed to break it.

"How strong is this barrier?" Xu Nian's expression changed.

He didn't expect that a strike containing the Second Level Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation could not penetrate the transparent barrier.

Unwilling to give up, Xu Nian attacked again, this time not using swordsmanship but directly punching the transparent barrier.

The entire transparent barrier shook violently like a water wave, yet it did not shatter.

Xu Nian was amazed that even his Gravity Fist infused with Third Level Space Profound Argumentation couldn't shatter the barrier.

Murong Xue and Feng Cheng were equally surprised.

They had witnessed Xu Nian's attacks before, yet now he couldn't break the barrier.

This showed just how strong the barrier was.

"What should we do?" Xu Nian became anxious.

If he couldn't break the barrier, he couldn't rescue the four women.

All his previous efforts would have been in vain then.

"Let me try!"

Just as Xu Nian was at a loss, Murong Xue suddenly spoke up.

"Huh?" Xu Nian looked at Murong Xue with a puzzled expression.

Murong Xue's strength might not surpass his own; what method could she have to break the barrier?

"Before I left, the Sect Master left me a Sword Qi, originally intended for use at Fuyao Lake. But now, since you need it, it should be put to use," Murong Xue said.

"That's probably your life-saving tool, isn't it? If you use it up…" Xu Nian frowned.

"It's okay; rescuing people is more important," Murong Xue replied.

She then approached the transparent barrier without looking at Xu Nian again.

The next moment, an overwhelming Sword Intent emanated from her body.

"Buzz!"

A piercing sword sound rang out, followed by Murong Xue pointing with her two fingers.

The Sword Radiance passed through her Sword Point and struck the transparent barrier.

The transparent barrier instantly surged and shattered into pieces the next moment.

"Huh?"

The four women, originally cultivating, abruptly opened their eyes.

When they saw who had arrived, their faces immediately showed joyful expressions.

"Xu Nian!"

Leng Yanran and Zhao Yanyun both exclaimed in surprise, joy evident on their faces.

Han Xiaoxiao also had a startled expression; she never expected Xu Nian to appear here.

Only Xu Xin had a content smile on her lips.

"Are you all okay?" Xu Nian asked, relieved to see the four women safe and sound.

"We're fine, but how did you get in? What about the Black Widow? Didn't she target you?" Zhao Yanyun urgently asked.

"Yeah, little brother, that Black Widow was formidable; if she discovered you, you guys would…" Xu Xin also said anxiously.

"It's okay; the Black Widow has already been killed by us." Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"Eliminated?" Xu Xin and the others showed expressions of astonishment.

That was a Middle Stage Earth Immortal level Demon Beast, yet Xu Nian had killed it.

Doesn't that mean Xu Nian's strength was comparable to the Middle Stage Earth Immortal level?

Han Xiaoxiao, who had just reached the Middle Stage Tribulation Crossing, was the strongest among them, but now the gap compared to Xu Nian was substantial.

"Oh, Murong Xue, why are you here?" Leng Yanran suddenly looked at Murong Xue in surprise.

Murong Xue was originally a student of Qinglin Academy, and as the Dean of Qinglin Academy, Leng Yanran naturally knew Murong Xue.

"Do you know me?" Murong Xue asked as she looked towards Leng Yanran.

"She… this is…" Leng Yanran turned to Xu Nian, surprised.

She was aware of the feelings between Xu Nian and Murong Xue, and initially thought Xu Nian had found Murong Xue.

But it seemed that Murong Xue couldn't remember anything.

"Her memories have been completely sealed by the people from the Tiancang Sect, so she forgot everything about the Tianhen Continent," Xu Nian explained, a trace of bitterness on his face.

Leng Yanran was taken aback, then looked at Murong Xue with sympathy.

Although the relationship between Xu Nian and Murong Xue made her feel a bit of jealousy, Murong Xue was Xu Nian's first love.

This was indelible; if there was an intruder, it was her who became the third party.

So concerning Murong Xue, she could only choose acceptance.

But she didn't expect Murong Xue to forget everything.

"Have you met me before?" Murong Xue once again asked Leng Yanran.

She was now very curious about her past, wanting to recover her previous memories because only then did she feel like a complete person.

"Not only have I met you, but I can also be considered your former instructor. Back then, you all studied at my Academy, but during a mission, you were taken away by people from the Tiancang Sect, and there was no news of you after that," Leng Yanran explained.

Murong Xue's eyes were complex; could what Xu Nian said be true, had she really known him in the past?

"If you can, return to the Tianhen Continent and take a look; your father is still in Tianhai City, and he misses you dearly," Leng Yanran suggested.

"Father?" Murong Xue's gaze became even more complicated.

Xu Nian said nothing but resolved in his heart.

Once this realm journey was over, he'd take Murong Xue back to the Tianhen Continent.

This might help her break through the memory seal.
