Divine King of Honour

Chapter 38 From Now On, Integrity is Just a Bystander

Xu Nian sped all the way and finally stopped at an entrance to a cave.

Qin Shan was initially worried since they were already deep within the Demon Beast Forest, where a careless step could lead them to encounter a formidable Demon Beast.

But when he saw the cave entrance before him, his eyes immediately lit up.

The entrance was ancient—it clearly had some age to it and looked very much like a Cultivation Mansion left by a mighty being.

However, Qin Shan did not let his guard down but instead said to Xu Nian fiercely, "You go in front, I'll follow behind you. If I find out you're playing tricks, I'll kill you with a sword."

Xu Nian smiled, offered no resistance, and directly swept towards the cave.

Seeing this, Qin Shan quickly followed, his heart pounding with excitement.

However, what Qin Shan didn't expect was that just as Xu Nian was about to reach the entrance, he suddenly turned around and sprinkled a bottle of powder over him.

"What are you doing?" Qin Shan shouted, and then he swung his sword towards Xu Nian.

However, Xu Nian stomped on the ground and quickly created a distance between them, sneering, "Good luck!"

Qin Shan was puzzled. Just as he was about to chase Xu Nian, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and his neck stiffly turned around, only to get a fright upon what he saw.

A massive head emerged from the pitch-black cave, its eyes intently fixed on Qin Shan.

"Dark Demon Ape?" Qin Shan subconsciously swallowed, overwhelming fear filling his heart.

At the same time, raging hatred toward Xu Nian surged within him.

Damn, this was nowhere near a mighty being's Cultivation Mansion; it was clearly the lair of the Dark Demon Ape.

What was a Dark Demon Ape? It was a Demon Beast possessing the bloodline of the Dark Demon Dragon from the Dragon Clan and had a Cultivation akin to the Peak of Silver Moon when mature.

Although this Dark Demon Ape was not yet mature, it wouldn't be long until it was, and its strength was at least of the Eight-star Silver Moon Battle Sect.

At this moment, Qin Shan felt like tearing Xu Nian into pieces, yet the Dark Demon Ape kept its greedy gaze fixed on him.

"Damn, it must be something Xu Nian sprinkled on me that excited the Dark Demon Ape so much." Swearing inwardly, Qin Shan turned and fled.

The Dark Demon Ape let out a roar and chased after Qin Shan furiously.

As he ran, the trees as thick as two people's embrace around him were snapped by his force.

Xu Nian stood at a distance, sneering at the unfolding scene.

What he had sprinkled on Qin Shan was not something random, but the Dragon Rock Powder that Lin Feng had given him, and on the way here, Xu Nian had intentionally collected dew. Thus, when he sprinkled the powder, it was instantly moistened by Xu Nian and began to emit ambergris.

Having the Black Demon Dragon bloodline, the Dark Demon Ape naturally had a strong desire for the ambergris.

As for how he knew there was a cave here housing a Dark Demon Ape, that credit went to Emperor Ye Tian.

"Kid, you better run now; your Dragon Rock Powder won't last long. Once Qin Shan comes back, you're dead," the voice of Emperor Ye Tian rang in Xu Nian's mind.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian hesitated no more and darted into the dense forest, disappearing from sight.

He hadn't expected the Dark Demon Ape to kill Qin Shan since the Dragon Rock Powder wasn't real ambergris; a breeze might scatter it anytime. Once the scent disappeared, the Dark Demon Ape wouldn't chase Qin Shan anymore, and Qin Shan would surely come back looking for him.

Several miles from the spot where Xu Nian had disappeared, a young man leaned against the trunk of a large tree, gasping heavily.

Damn!

Half his life was already gone.

Who else could it be, if not Qin Shan, who was chased by the Dark Demon Ape?

"Xu Nian, I, Qin Shan, will not rest until I have killed you!" Qin Shan bellowed, his voice echoing through the mountains and forests.

At this moment, his hatred for Xu Nian had reached an extreme—He had almost perished at the mouth of the Dark Demon Ape.

...

After leaving, Xu Nian continued deeper into the Demon Beast Forest.

Now, the interior of the Demon Beast Forest was the safest place for him. Qin Shan and the others must be guarding the periphery of the Demon Beast Forest, waiting for him to leave. But inside, as long as the Ye Tian Divine Emperor was there, there would be no problem at all.

"Young man, not far ahead there is a waterfall. Go there," the Ye Tian Divine Emperor suddenly spoke.

"A waterfall?" Xu Nian paused slightly, though he did not understand why the Ye Tian Divine Emperor wanted him to go to the waterfall, he still followed the command and headed towards it.

As Xu Nian progressed, he indeed heard the thunderous sound of the water pouring down.

Soon, Xu Nian arrived at the edge of the waterfall. It was a towering waterfall, about three hundred feet tall, with a huge pool below where the water constantly poured down from above, hitting the pool and producing a deafening roar.

But the next moment, Xu Nian's eyes widened, and a rush of blood surged within him.

Because in that pond, there was a young and beautiful woman bathing.

Through the misty haze, Xu Nian could see that the woman was extremely beautiful, with skin that was incredibly pale and a body that was slim and graceful.

Three thousand strands of black hair hung down to her waist, and she wore only a thin, translucent silk garment that outlined her body's perfect curves.

Xu Nian felt his blood boil and lust surge.

"Do you like what you see?" the voice of the Ye Tian Divine Emperor resounded in Xu Nian's mind.

"Yes!" Xu Nian replied instinctively.

"And are they big?" the voice of the Ye Tian Divine Emperor came again.

"Big!" Xu Nian said without a second thought.

But after he spoke, he realized something was amiss and, chuckling sheepishly, asked, "Predecessor, did you bring me here just... just to watch someone bathe?"

However, his eyes could not move away from the woman at all.

"Hmm, you wish. I would not be so idle as to just let you come and watch a woman bathe," the Ye Tian Divine Emperor responded with a cold snort.

"Then what does the predecessor mean?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

"Do you see the clothes that woman placed on the rock?" the Ye Tian Divine Emperor asked again.

Xu Nian looked in the direction indicated by the Ye Tian Divine Emperor and saw a large rock by the edge of the pool, on which the woman's dress was placed.

"The predecessor means..." Xu Nian boldly guessed.

"Yes, I want you to go steal that woman's clothes. But let me remind you, you must not be discovered by that woman. Although she looks not much older than you, her cultivation is of the Three-star Silver Moon Battle Sect. If you get caught, no one can save you," said the Ye Tian Divine Emperor.

The corners of Xu Nian's mouth twitched, and he was speechless.

The Ye Tian Divine Emperor actually wanted him to steal a woman's clothes, and not just any woman's, but those of a Silver Moon Battle Sect-level woman. How could this task sound so lacking in integrity?
