Divine King of Honour

"Roar!"

Yuan Tianming continued to roar and launched relentless attacks on Yuan Ba.

Because Yuan Tianming was in an insane state, his Immortal Essence was rampaging fiercely.

Even Yuan Ba, whose cultivation was one rank higher than Yuan Tianming, could not subdue him without harming him.

"Tianming! I'm your father, wake up!" Yuan Ba shouted angrily.

However, Yuan Tianming remained unrecognizable towards anyone.

Xu Nian saw this scene and shook his head with a light laugh.

He had heard from Gu Xiangxiang earlier that once the Demon Transformation Powder was consumed, there was no cure.

Even if it could be stopped, only an Earth Immortal Peak strong person whose soul was completely transformed could save him.

But none of those present were such a strong person, so Yuan Tianming was beyond saving.

"Yuan Sect Leader, will you act yourself, or shall we? This Spiritual Ship can't withstand his commotion any longer," Guihai Badao said from a distance.

With these words, the others stepped forward one after another, their intent clear.

If you don't take action, we will.

Yuan Ba was filled with a strong sense of unwillingness, but there was nothing he could do.

With a fierce look in his eyes, his Immortal Essence surged as he slapped Yuan Tianming's head with his palm.

Yuan Tianming's body trembled immediately, his eyes blank, and in the next moment, he fell down.

Yet at the moment he fell, his consciousness actually became clear.

However, it was too late; his soul had already shattered.

He never thought that he would end up like this.

"Ming'er!" Yuan Ba roared in anger, the pain of personally killing his own son immeasurable.

"No matter who it is, I will tear them to pieces," Yuan Ba shouted angrily and then turned his gaze to Xu Nian.

"It's not my doing. I had just come out, and your son attacked me insanely. As someone at the Tribulation Crossing stage, I couldn't harm him even if I tried," Xu Nian quickly said.

With those words, suspicion immediately appeared on Yuan Ba's face.

He felt that Xu Nian's words were not without reason.

As someone at the Peak of Tribulation Crossing, even if he knew formations, a formation couldn't make someone lose their mind, and there were no traces of a formation around.

"He has been poisoned by the Demon Transformation Powder."

At this moment, Gu Xiangxiang stepped out from the crowd and spoke.

"Demon Transformation Powder?"

The faces of everyone around changed.

No wonder Yuan Tianming went crazy; it turns out he was poisoned by the Demon Transformation Powder.

"Xiangxiang, how do you know it's the Demon Transformation Powder?" Yuan Ba immediately asked vigilantly.

Since his son was poisoned by the Demon Transformation Powder, it meant someone had harmed him.

With this thought, he looked at Xu Nian again.

Among the crowd, Lin Wu frowned, having a bad feeling about this.

"I once saw Lin Wu and Tianming together, and he took out this Demon Transformation Powder," Gu Xiangxiang said, pointing at Lin Wu.

With this, everyone immediately looked at Lin Wu.

Lin Wu's face also changed; he hadn't expected Gu Xiangxiang to accuse him suddenly.

"Lin Wu!" Yuan Ba, too, instantly became furious, glaring at Lin Wu.

"You're spitting blood. The Demon Transformation Powder was originally in your hands, and just now you and Xu Ping went into the room together. Many people saw it. Who can guarantee that it's not you and Xu Ping conspiring to harm Yuan Tianming?" Lin Wu wasn't easy to deal with and immediately retorted.

Hearing this, Yuan Ba looked at Xu Nian again.

Obviously, Lin Wu's words also had some merit.

Moreover, he knew his son was close to Lin Wu.

Xu Nian hadn't expected Lin Wu to say that; Lin Wu was indeed clever. This way, his suspicion increased instead.

"Master, don't listen to his nonsense; he threatened us before to deal with Xu Ping, but the elder brother refused, and he held a grudge, also saying he wanted to take me for himself," Gu Xiangxiang said, pointing at Lin Wu again.

Yuan Ba hesitated, his brow furrowed tightly.

He didn't know whom to believe at this moment.

Lin Wu's eyes narrowed, staring fiercely at Xu Nian.

He had thought Xu Nian would be easy to deal with, but now he realized this guy was a tricky character.

Although his strength was lacking, his scheming was definitely not inferior to his own.

Just Gu Xiangxiang's counter-accusation showed that clearly.

As for Yuan Tianming's death, in his view, it must have been Gu Xiangxiang who did it.

"It seems I really underestimated you. To have Gu Xiangxiang under your thumb, I truly admire that," Lin Wu sent a voice transmission to Xu Nian.

"Thank you for the compliment, but this time your scheme failed. Next time I hope you'll come up with something smarter," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

Lin Wu let out a cold snort, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Alright, Yuan Sect Leader, we also regret your son's death. We will continue to investigate this matter and ensure justice for your son, but please do not act on your own, or don't blame us for being impolite," Guihai Badao said.

Yuan Ba squinted his eyes, looking angrily at Guihai Badao.

This Guihai Badao, far inferior in strength, was so arrogant, relying on the Guihai Tiangong and Elder Yu Mo behind him.

Give his son justice?

He doubted these people cared about his son's life or death.

However, he knew it wasn't the time to make a fuss when the culprit was still unknown.

If he found out who it was, he would surely tear them to pieces.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, Yuan Ba left with Gu Xiangxiang.

He intended to continue investigating the matter, with Gu Xiangxiang as one of the involved parties and his currently trustworthy clue.

Xu Nian, seeing Yuan Ba leave, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Though he didn't fear Yuan Ba, if they really fought, his disclosed strength would make him a primary target of the Guihai Family and the Mu Residence.

That was a scenario he wasn't willing to see.

"Are you alright?" Liu Bai Ru, seeing blood at the corner of Xu Nian's mouth, asked worriedly.

"I'm fine!" Xu Nian smiled.

Although he said that, his face was somewhat pale.

Of course, it was all an act; Yuan Tianming couldn't possibly hurt him.

The blood was forced out by himself.

Liu Bai Ru, seeing Xu Nian's complexion, was still a bit worried.

Those observing Xu Nian from afar also ceased doubting and turned back to their rooms.

Only Shi Guangxu smiled, thinking Xu Nian's performance was too convincing.

If not for knowing Xu Nian well, he might have been fooled.

"This kid is indeed interesting, pretending to be gravely injured without actually being hurt," the Tianbao Pavilion Master said with a smile from a corner of the Spiritual Ship where he had been watching the drama.

"Father, why do you say he isn't hurt?" Li Anshan asked in surprise.

In his view, Xu Ping should be seriously hurt.

Mei Ji also looked in surprise at the Tianbao Pavilion Master.

The Tianbao Pavilion Master smiled and said, "This guy is extremely clever, aware others are watching him, so he feigned severe injury when his physical body is as strong as a top-grade Spiritual Artifact. Yuan Tianming couldn't hurt him at all."

"As strong as a top-grade Spiritual Artifact?" Li Anshan's expression changed.

Mei Ji's heart raced too, surprised by the strength of this guy's body.
