Divine King of Honour-Chapter 622: Strange Old Man
If it weren't for the fact that this Mo Tian was from Penglai,
Xu Nian would have slapped him flying long ago.
A mere Five-star Battle Saint daring to be so arrogant in front of him,
he's really asking for it.
As for Mo Tian's mockery, Xu Nian had no intention of paying attention.
However, Xu Nian didn't want to cause any trouble, yet trouble kept clinging to him relentlessly.
Seeing that Xu Nian completely ignored him, Mo Tian's face turned red with anger immediately.
But before he could speak, two young men walked over.
"Hey, the great man is talking to you, are you deaf?" one of the youths shouted at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian glanced at the two young men.
He recognized that these were the two that had been shooed away by Mo Tian earlier, named Zhang Peng and Li Tao.
The one who had spoken was Zhang Peng.
A cold smile appeared on Xu Nian's lips.
Turned out that while he had been comprehending the Wind Vibration Profound Argumentation earlier, these two had been sucking up to this Five-star Battle Saint.
And indeed, they had ingratiated themselves with him.
After offering up treasure enticing to Mo Tian, they had become his lackeys.
Now seeing Xu Nian ignore Mo Tian, they immediately stood out to target Xu Nian.
Firstly, because they felt unfavorably balanced; they had sucked up to Mo Tian.
This young man, like them, had come to Penglai to seek a mentor, yet he acted so haughtily.
This made them appear inferior by comparison.
They naturally couldn't swallow their pride.
Secondly, they also wanted to curry favor with Mo Tian.
Xu Nian could easily see through the minds of these two young men.
Regarding these two young men's thoughts, Xu Nian felt even more disdainful.
If they were simply of low cultivation, Xu Nian would not look down on them.
But for their own ends, they were unscrupulous, and this irked Xu Nian.
"Oh? What do you think I should say?" Xu Nian asked Zhang Peng with a cold smile.
In his view, no matter how much these two brownnosed Mo Tian,
Mo Tian in the end wouldn't take them seriously, nor would he offer them any help.
These Zhang Peng and Li Tao were just too foolish and naive.
Thinking this, Xu Nian actually felt a bit of pity for Zhang Peng and Li Tao.
"Hmph, Lord Mo Tian is from Penglai, and he is destined to become an existence like an Upper Immortal. It's an honor for you that he speaks to you, and yet you dare to ignore him. I think you're really bored with living," Li Tao continued recklessly.
Hearing this, the cold smile on Xu Nian's face grew even thicker.
What a notion that speaking to him should be considered an honor,
and even keeping silent could offend someone.
And look at that Mo Tian, he was smirking at Xu Nian right now, a faint sneer on his lips.
Beside him, Shadow became anxious.
"Sir, why don't you just endure it a bit, bow your head lower? These Penglai people really can't be provoked," Shadow whispered in Xu Nian's ear.
Hearing this, Xu Nian scoffed.
Along the way, everyone had been saying that people from Penglai shouldn't be provoked.
So much so that he had almost started to believe it.
He, a Battle Emperor, had now been reduced to not even daring to touch a Battle Saint who rode roughshod over him?
Thinking of his previous hesitations, Xu Nian found it even more amusing.
Yes, he had come to Penglai seeking healing pills.
If he offended the Penglai people, he might not get the Spirit Pills he wanted.
But lowering his voice,
would that make the Penglai people give him the pills?
Of course not.
That's why Xu Nian thought how foolish his previous mindset had been.
"What are you laughing at?" Mo Tian asked, seeing Xu Nian scoff and smile faintly.
Zhang Peng and Li Tao also looked at Xu Nian displeasedly.
Shadow showed her confusion with a slight frown.
"I laugh because the people of Penglai are nothing special after all. You claim to be Upper Immortals, yet even ordinary people surpass you in the cultivation of the heart," Xu Nian said with a cold laugh.
Since it didn't matter whether he provoked them or not, Penglai was not going to willingly give him the pill.
Then why should he restrain his emotions?
Sure enough, as soon as he uttered those words, a wave of anger surged in Mo Tian's eyes.
Zhang Peng, Li Tao, and Shadow around him were stunned.
They hadn't expected Xu Nian to say something like that.
To actually claim that the people of Penglai were no better than ordinary people.
In fact, Xu Nian was stating the truth.
This Fifth-star Battle Saint before him indeed had a temperament far inferior even to that of ordinary Battle Saints.
Perhaps it was due to living in isolation for so long on the island, which resulted in his temperament not being so steady.
Which was quite inconsistent with his cultivation.
"What did you say? You dare to insult us, the people of Penglai?" Mo Tian spoke furiously.
Being a Penglai person was a source of great pride in his heart.
Now Xu Nian had said that they were inferior to the Tianhen Continent.
How could this not make him angry?
"If you feel insulted, then that's fine too," replied Xu Nian with a light laugh.
Xu Nian's words further ignited the fury in Mo Tian's eyes.
"Where did this wild brat come from, boasting so arrogantly? Do you even understand Penglai's status?" Zhang Peng also reacted, immediately barking sharply.
Shadow also wore a look of surprise, not having expected Lin Yu to be so bold as to speak of Penglai in such a manner.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, didn't care. All the people on this ship combined were no match for him.
"You two, get him and cripple him," Mo Tian ordered directly.
"Yes!" Two members from the Nine-star War Sect moved to respond.
Their gazes turned fierce as they looked at Xu Nian, and in the next instant, they were ready to strike at him.
Xu Nian helplessly shook his head.
The Battle Sect dared to make a move against him, something that had not happened in a long time.

He could crush these two Battle Sect members with a single finger.
"Boom!"
However, just as their fight was about to erupt.
A loud booming sound came from the cabin.
The entire ship suddenly shook violently.
Xu Nian and the others immediately looked towards the interior of the cabin.
"Roar!"
At that moment.
An old man, covered in pitch-black, thick chains, burst out from inside the cabin.
Floating above the Black Dragon Ship, he let out a heaven-shaking roar.
"Eh, a Five-star Battle Emperor?"
Xu Nian was startled. He had never seen this elder before.
He had not noticed the old man boarding the ship earlier.
How could this old man have come out of the cabin?
And with wild hair, fierce eyes, and a frantic demeanor...
Along with the chains on his body, it was quite apparent that he had been bound by someone before.
Could it be that the East Sea Commerce had kept this old man trapped inside the Black Dragon Ship?
But soon, Xu Nian found his answer.
He saw four figures fly out from the cabin, encircling the old man in the sky.
"Damn it!"
Mo Tian couldn't help but curse under his breath.
He also shot into the sky, forming a special battle formation with the other four.
"Hum!"
The five of them formed seals simultaneously, and a powerful wave of energy immediately emitted from their bodies.
Then they pointed at the frenzied elder.
Ropes made entirely of energy shot out from their fingertips, ensnaring the crazed old man.
