Divine King of Honour-Chapter 746 - 745: The Wrath of the Whale Emperor
Xu Nian's actions dazzled everyone present.
The final Token naturally also belonged to Xu Nian.
Not only that, but Xu Nian also acquired numerous treasures from those around him.
These were all the result of the bets he had just won.
As for Fu Yuming and Fang Shishi, they had no face left to stay any longer.
After bidding farewell to the Dark God Island Master, they left in haste.
Before leaving, both Fu Yuming and Fang Shishi gave Xu Nian a fierce glare.
They also left behind a phrase, "Xu Nian, you'd better stay in this lost world for the rest of your life, because once you enter the Cultivation World, we will make sure you have nowhere to be buried."
After saying these words, they turned into streaks of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Xu Nian merely chuckled at their threats, unconcerned.
Having lost face, they needed to utter some harsh words.
Of course, if they really encountered him in the Cultivation World, they certainly would not let Xu Nian off.
After all, they were experts at the Cave Void Stage.
If Xu Nian were to enter the Cultivation World, he truly wouldn't stand a chance against them.
"Xu Nian, you need to be careful of them from now on. You've angered them this time, and the Qingcheng Sect will not let you off easily," the Dark God Island Master spoke up.
"Thank you for the reminder, elder. I will remember," Xu Nian nodded and said.
The Dark God Island Master nodded in response.
He knew that Xu Nian was a very cautious person.
He didn't need to remind him too much.
"Xu Nian, these are the Formations I have comprehended throughout my life, which even include some insights into Formation; I will pass them all on to you," said the Dark God Island Master.
As he spoke, more than a dozen Jade Scrolls appeared in his hand.
Xu Nian knew that these Jade Scrolls contained indispensable Formation knowledge.
The prospect of what knowledge these dozen Jade Scrolls held was terrifying.
"Thank you, elder. I will certainly not disappoint your painstaking efforts," Xu Nian said while nodding.
"Very good, to have a genius like you inherit my mantle makes me feel at ease to proceed with Tribulation Crossing," the Dark God Island Master laughed heartily.
"Tribulation Crossing?" Xu Nian was momentarily surprised.
He hadn't expected the Dark God Island Master to be preparing for Tribulation.
However, the thought sank in that the Dark God Island Master was indeed about to go through the Tribulation.
"Master!" Hong Xiang seemed concerned and began to speak with apprehension.
However, before she could finish, the Dark God Island Master interrupted her.
"Hong Xiang, you are the last disciple I have taken in, and also the one with the highest talent among all my disciples. However, I need to retreat for a long time to prepare for the Tribulation, and I won't have the time to teach you. Therefore, I have also prepared a set of Jade Scrolls for you, and I have decided to have you leave with Xu Nian for the Cultivation World," the Dark God Island Master said.
"Leaving Dark God Island for the Cultivation World?" Hong Xiang was stunned.
She clearly hadn't expected her Master to say such a thing to her.
Xu Nian was also slightly taken aback.
The Dark God Island Master actually wanted Hong Xiang to go with him?
"Xu Nian, next, I entrust Hong Xiang to you. After all, she is half a Senior Sister to you. I hope you can take good care of her on my behalf," the Dark God Island Master said.
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Nian with a meaningful smile.
Xu Nian's mouth twitched.
He silently cursed the old man for having a belly full of cunning schemes.
Still, he nodded and agreed, "Alright, elder, rest assured I will take good care of Senior Sister Hong Xiang."
Seeing Xu Nian agree, the Dark God Island Master also showed a smile.
Xu Nian felt helpless, after all, the Dark God Island Master had shown him kindness.
"Master, I don't want to leave Dark God Island," Hong Xiang spoke up.
"You must leave. You have grown up on the Tianhen Continent, but this place is too confined for you. You should experience more in the Cultivation World. Following Xu Nian is your best choice. With him to take care of you, I can rest a bit easier," the Dark God Island Master insisted.
Having finished speaking, he placed the dozen or so jade scrolls into Hong Xiang's hands.
Hong Xiang had more to say, but in the end, she hesitated once again.
The Master was going into retreat, and her staying on the island would be of no help.
Thus, the best course of action was to leave.
"Junior Brother Xu Nian, I'll be counting on you in the future." Hong Xiang turned her head and spoke to Xu Nian.
"Senior Sister, it's all about mutual care and support." Xu Nian looked at Hong Xiang with a smile.
Hong Xiang didn't smile, yet the red mole under her eye made her delicate face appear exceptionally vivid.
It added an indescribable charm to her.
Xu Nian thought, if she could smile.
She would probably look even more beautiful.
Of course, Xu Nian didn't have any other thoughts.
It was just a pure appreciation for beautiful things.
"Alright, Xu Nian, here is the token to enter the Endless Abyss. I have applied a formation on it, but this formation can only withstand the terrible forces of the abyss for 15 minutes. Whether you can pick the Spirit Fruit depends on you. Remember, this token can only take five people at once, you decide on your own." The Dark God Island Master tossed a token to Xu Nian,
Then turned and left.
Xu Nian caught the token and examined it carefully.
He noticed that indeed, complex array patterns were on the token.
No wonder these Sea Demons were so desperate to obtain this token.
It turns out it was the power of the array patterns on the token that could resist the terrifying forces within the abyss.
One trip with five people?
So, who should he bring?
Xuan Hong counted as one, himself as another.
That left three more spots available.
Besides, he could also bring Emperor Xuanwu and Lie Tian.
So who should get the last spot?
"Senior Sister Hong Xiang, would you like to join us in entering the Endless Abyss?" Xu Nian turned his head to ask Hong Xiang.
"No, I'm guessing you'll be ready to leave after the trip to the Abyss. I want to spend more time with the Master during this period," Hong Xiang replied.
Xu Nian nodded.
Since Hong Xiang didn't wish to go, then who should he give it to?
"Junior Brother Xu Nian, are you still struggling with who to give the spot for the trip to the abyss? Why not give it to me?" The Whale Emperor approached with a smile.
"Oh? Does the Whale Emperor also need the token? I would think that with your strength, you wouldn't need a token to enter." Xu Nian replied, his words tinged with sarcasm.
Before, the Whale Emperor had been targeting him, but now seeing that he had the token,
He was saying nice things, trying to mend fences opportunistically.
Was he that foolish?
"You…" Hearing Xu Nian's mockery, the Whale Emperor immediately became enraged.
"Tell me, what conditions do you require to give one spot to me?" the Whale Emperor asked.
Xu Nian smiled slightly and said, "No conditions will do."
"Xu Nian, don't be too much," the Whale Emperor stared at him with anger.
"So what if I am?" Xu Nian asked back with a light laugh.
The Whale Emperor's eyes brimmed with killing intent.
His eyes narrowed.
"Hmph, Xu Nian, just you wait and see, you will regret your decision today," the Whale Emperor snorted coldly, then left with the young talents of the Whale Clan and the Whale Clan Princess.
As the Whale Clan Princess departed, she gave Xu Nian a glance.
Her eyes revealed a complex emotion.
Xu Nian, however, could only helplessly shake his head.
