Divine King of Honour

The Heavenly Court Gang was steadily expanding.

Xu Nian's true self was once again immersed in cultivation.

However, this time, he did not choose to seclude himself in a room.

Instead, he opted to venture into the Cosmic Void.

Xu Nian sat cross-legged on a meteorite amidst the void.

Constantly absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the heavens and cosmos, while also comprehending the power of Profound Argumentation within this universe.

The universe similarly harbors the wind; the meteorite beneath his feet is akin to the earth, also possessing gravity waves.

It's just that all of these, compared to on a planet, are much more subtle.

This, however, greatly aids Xu Nian's insight cultivation.

Now he must quickly enhance his strength.

Only then can he pursue the things he wishes to accomplish.

While Xu Nian's true self was immersed in cultivation.

His Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar and Shi Guangxu were already out from the Chaos Divine Palace.

"Where are you planning to go next?" Shi Guangxu asked Xu Nian.

"I am heading to the headquarters of Tianbao Pavilion; I just received a message from Mei Ji—she has found all the herbs I asked her to gather," answered the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar.

His heart was somewhat excited.

After such a long time, the Spirit King Pill's herbs were finally collected.

Just need to find a Top Grade Alchemist, then Emperor Ye Tian can be awakened.

Xu Nian still remembered vividly when Emperor Ye Tian saved him, which led to his comatose state.

So one of his greatest wishes is to awaken Emperor Ye Tian.

"Going to Tianbao Pavilion, the Guihai family likely won't let us go easily; if I'm guessing correctly, they've already issued a pursuit order through the Mu Residence. As long as we dare show our faces, we'll be hunted down," Shi Guangxu said hurriedly.

"Mu Residence?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"It seems you aren't familiar with Mu Residence; despite rarely managing affairs in Taiheng Star Domain, they have the domain's strongest intelligence and assassin organizations. As long as the price is right, Mu Residence will make a move, never failing any task they accept," Shi Guangxu explained.

"So that's how it is." Xu Nian nodded.

Thus, it appeared his adversaries weren't solely limited to the Guihai family.

Yet, he wasn't afraid, with the Chaos Divine Palace behind him.

Even if the Mu Residence Lord came personally, he wouldn't be able to kill him.

Of course, being hunted by Mu Residence is still a troublesome matter.

"I hope the Guihai family won't do this, otherwise I'll make them regret it," Xu Nian said.

A murderous intent surged in his crimson eyes.

Shi Guangxu remained silent but internally had no doubt about the youth's words.

During his time with Xu Nian, he increasingly found the youth enigmatic.

Xu Nian felt like a mystery to him.

Puzzling.

Thus, Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu flew toward the nearby planet.

They planned to use the Transmission Array to go to Tianbao Star.

Tianbao Star was where the Tianbao Pavilion headquarters was located.

And to make things easier, the two employed Transformation Techniques.

...

Just then, as Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu had recently arrived on the planet, two figures suddenly appeared in the void where they had been.

Both figures wore black robes; one had a silver mask, and the other a gold mask.

Even Spiritual Sense Power couldn't penetrate the masks to discern their faces.

"Looks like we arrived a step too late; they've already left," the silver-masked figure spoke.

"Hmph, they can't escape; as long as they're still in this world, the Tracking Mirror will guide us to them," said the gold-masked figure.

"Indeed, the Tracking Mirror's pursuit never fails," the previously silver-masked figure replied.

Saying this, a mirror appeared in his hand.

Then on the mirror, the silver-masked figure pointed, causing wave-like patterns to ripple on its surface.

As the water waves dispersed, two figures emerged on the mirror.

Their appearance was unmistakably Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu.

And it was their transformed appearances.

"It seems they've altered their looks and gone to that planet, intending to use the Transmission Array to leave here," the silver-masked figure said.

"Hmph, we can't let them escape; intercept and kill them before they reach the Transmission Array. Your target is Xu Nian, mine is Shi Guangxu; each of us must strike decisively," the gold-masked figure sternly ordered.

"Understood!" replied the silver-masked figure.

After speaking, he transformed into a stream of light and, along with the gold-masked figure, flew toward the planet Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu were on.

At this moment, Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu were flying toward a nearby city.

Generally, Transmission Arrays are set at the center of cities.

Thus, to teleport, entering the city was necessary.

However, as they arrived at the city gate, two figures blocked their way.

Indeed, these two were the pursuing silver-masked figure and gold-masked figure.

Shi Guangxu's face changed instantly upon seeing them.

"Just as expected!"

Shi Guangxu spoke two words, his eyes filled with gravity.

Xu Nian also immediately understood their identities.

Mu Residence Assassins?

It seems the Guihai family really spent heavily to hire Mu Residence to act.

The crowd at the gate also, upon seeing the two figures, reacted like mice seeing cats, retreating far away in fear.

Evidently, they were aware of Mu Residence Assassin's existence.

"I didn't expect the Guihai family would spend so heavily to hire Four-star Silver Wings and One-star Golden Wing assassins," Shi Guangxu said, looking at the two figures ahead.

The surrounding crowd, upon hearing this, felt a chill run through their hearts.

Mu Residence's Four-star Silver Wing assassin and Golden Wing assassin?

Why would such figures appear here; are they here to kill these two?

Who are they to attract such top-level assassins from Mu Residence?

Xu Nian was also surprised.

Previously, on the way here, he had heard Shi Guangxu's explanation.

Mu Residence's assassins are divided into five levels: Iron Wing, Copper Wing, Silver Wing, Golden Wing, Purple Wing.

Each level further subdivides into Four-star ratings.

Corresponding to Cave Void, Harmonization, Heavenly Phenomenon, Tribulation Crossing, Earth Immortal, five levels.

For instance, to become a One-star Iron Wing assassin, one must slay an Early-stage Cave Void level expert.

And to be a Four-star Copper Wing, slaying a Harmonization Peak expert is required.

Thus, these two figures were capable of killing Peak of Heavenly Phenomenon and Early-stage Tribulation Crossing experts.

Such assassins generally command very high prices.

Mu Residence has a rule that each assassin kills only one person, targeting solely their objective.

This explains why two assassins were sent simultaneously.

He just hadn't expected Mu Residence would dispatch a Four-star Silver Wing for him.

That was an assassin capable of killing Peak of Heavenly Phenomenon experts!

It seems Mu Residence has quite a grasp on his capabilities.

"Attack!"

The Golden Wing assassin gave a decisive command.

Immediately, he lunged at Shi Guangxu.

The Silver Wing assassin then shot fiercely toward Xu Nian.

Xu Nian and Shi Guangxu were momentarily stunned but swiftly prepared to face their attackers.
