Divine King of Honour

Following that, Xu Nian and Autef continued their conversation.

However, it was mostly Autef talking while Xu Nian listened.

Even if Xu Nian occasionally interjected, it was to flatter Autef.

Of course, Autef also subtly inquired about Xu Nian's identity.

Xu Nian deliberately made up an identity as a disciple from a prominent family going out for training.

Upon hearing Xu Nian's identity, Autef felt more reassured, becoming increasingly boastful in front of Xu Nian.

Xu Nian smirked inwardly; he knew he was now seen as a plump sheep in Autef's eyes.

That's right, Xu Nian had already seen through Autef's charade.

Someone who had been to the Denor Star System couldn't possibly have such an honest smile.

One should know, that place is the most brutal area in the entire Cultivation World.

It's a place full of slaughter, deceit, and bloodshed.

If you have the strength, you can do whatever you want there.

It's a gathering place for a large number of evil individuals.

Even the kindest of people would be assimilated if they went there.

Those people are collectively known as marauders.

Autef was evidently one of those marauders.

How could Xu Nian believe the honest smile of a marauder?

Besides, he's not a fledgling to the Cultivation World.

So he immediately realized that Autef was deceiving him.

The purpose of the deception was obviously to covet Xu Nian's wealth.

"Brother Xu Nian, do you have enough Spirit Stones? An interstellar teleportation costs one million Mid-grade Spirit Stones. If you're short, I can lend you some."

As the queue ahead of Xu Nian and Autef dwindled, Autef turned to Xu Nian and asked.

"I have enough, thank you, Brother Ao," Xu Nian replied with a slight smile and produced a Storage Bag containing exactly a hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones.

One million Mid-grade Spirit Stones is equivalent to ten thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, or a hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones.

"Top-grade Spirit Stones?" Autef's eyes gleamed with greed.

While a hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones equal one million Mid-grade Spirit Stones in value, those who can produce Top-grade Spirit Stones are inherently of much higher status than those who offer Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Thus, Autef was now thoroughly convinced that this young man before him was indeed a fat sheep.

But just to be safe, he would wait until they entered the Denor Star Domain to make his move.

Yet, he had no idea that this so-called fat sheep was creating this impression on purpose.

The purpose was to make him mistakenly believe he was a fat sheep.

Xu Nian himself was deeply reflective.

He hadn't even entered the Denor Star System yet and someone was already targeting him.

It was evident that the Denor Star System was truly extraordinary.

Soon, it was Xu Nian and Autef's turn for the interstellar teleportation array.

"Where are you going?" the Transmission Array manager asked Xu Nian and Autef.

"The Denor Star System!" Xu Nian answered truthfully.

The manager glanced at Xu Nian, then at Autef next to him, furrowing his brow subconsciously.

"One million Mid-grade Spirit Stones, who will go first?" the manager asked Xu Nian.

"Brother Xu Nian, let's go together! That way we won't be separated during the teleportation, considering how vast the Denor Star System is, it would be hard to find each other if split up," Autef said with a smile to Xu Nian.

"Okay!" Xu Nian readily agreed.

The manager frowned again and asked Xu Nian, "Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

"It's none of your business, just handle the teleportation," Autef immediately glared at the manager.

The manager ignored Autef and kept his focus on Xu Nian.

"No need, let's teleport together!" Xu Nian responded to the manager with a smile.

Upon hearing Xu Nian's words, the manager sighed helplessly.

He then collected the Spirit Stones from both Xu Nian and Autef, and began powering up the Formation.

Autef, seeing this, smirked inwardly.

He realized the manager was attempting to warn Xu Nian.

For a moment, he really thought his plans might be thwarted.

Now it seemed, Xu Nian was even more naive than he had imagined.

Xu Nian was also smiling inwardly at this moment.

He was well aware that the manager was trying to help him.

Attempting to use two teleportations to transfer him and Autef to different places, thereby protecting him.

But actually, the manager had no idea that Autef considered him a fat sheep.

Nor did he realize that Xu Nian also saw Autef as a fat sheep.

His rejection must have disappointed the manager.

That sigh revealed as much.

"Alright, since you've decided to teleport together, step into the center of the Formation," the manager ceased further advising Xu Nian.

He felt he had done his best; since Xu Nian was so obtuse, he had no reason to advise further.

Xu Nian and Autef both stepped into the Formation with smiles on their faces.

Autef's smile was full of complacency.

Xu Nian's smile, however, contained a hint of helplessness.

Indeed, that helplessness was due to the manager's disappointment.

"Buzz!"

The Formation was activated, with three pillars of light surging up filled with energy that made Xu Nian's heart tremble.

Then the Array Patterns beneath their feet started to radiate brightly.

"Buzz!"

The energy finally concentrated into the Array Patterns, and Xu Nian felt a peculiar yet powerful energy envelop him.

"Boom!"

An energy beam shot into the sky abruptly.

Both Xu Nian and Autef found their vision instantly plunged into darkness, as they entered an endless void.

A force was enveloping them, progressing at an incredible speed.

"So this is interstellar teleportation? Are we traveling through the Dark Universe now?" Xu Nian pondered in amazement.

In the Dark Universe, all things move at the speed of light.

To exit the Dark Universe and return to the real universe,

one only needs to reduce energy, thereby decreasing speed, naturally shifting from the Dark Universe back to the ordinary universe.

The duration of the Star Level teleportation for Xu Nian and Autef wasn't particularly long.

After just a few days, they were teleported to the Denor Star System.

The speed decreased, and Xu Nian and Autef emerged from the Dark Universe.

And they landed on a deserted planet within the Denor Star Domain.

"Ugh!"

Upon landing, Autef immediately vomited.

Despite having traveled multiple times, he still couldn't fully adapt.

Xu Nian also felt a strong wave of dizziness and nausea.

Fortunately, he didn't end up vomiting.

Yet, he still exhibited a very pained expression.

After about two hours, Autef recovered from his discomfort.

Looking at Xu Nian, who was still in pain, he smiled sinisterly.

This time, he didn't bother to hide his smile, instead, he smiled unrestrainedly.

"Xu Nian, hand over your storage ring, and maybe I'll leave you with a complete corpse," Autef said menacingly to Xu Nian with a grin.

"Uh, Brother Ao, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say you were going to take me to meet the captain?" Xu Nian asked with feigned innocence.

"Hahaha, meet the captain? What makes you think you are worthy to meet our captain? With your little strength, coming to the Denor Star System was a mistake. If you're wise, hand over your storage ring, and I'll go easier on you, otherwise..." Autef sneered coldly.

"You... you despicable!" Xu Nian pointed at Autef with a shocked expression.

Autef, meanwhile, burst into laughter, thoroughly enjoying the moment.

Every time he saw the prey exhibit such expressions, he felt an immense satisfaction.
