Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 186: Chapter 184 The Decline of the Su Family

Time passed.

Soon, a month had gone by.

It took a full month for the God-Slaying Pavilion to finally settle all its affairs. Although there were not many casualties in the battle with the Sect of True Martial Arts, the aftermath still needed to be dealt with.

The corpses of the tens of thousands of soldiers burned for half a month before they completely vanished from this world.

During this period, Su Han personally took action, visiting the tombstones of the twenty thousand who had been killed by the Sect of True Martial Arts and bowed in tribute to these Undead.

It was as if the God-Slaying Pavilion had avenged them.

After acquiring such vast resources, the Five Divine Guard Corps of the God-Slaying Pavilion immediately began their closed-door cultivation.

Only a few ordinary disciples were left in charge of those resource-rich lands to prevent other sects from taking advantage.

In this one month, a continuous stream of resources arrived from the territories of various sects, whether Gold Coins or Spirit Stones.

However, there were predominantly Gold Coins.

Since establishing the God-Slaying Pavilion, Su Han finally tasted the flavor of developing and producing his own resources for the first time.

From the moment of his rebirth, Su Han had been constantly troubled by the lack of resources. Now, having eliminated the Sect of True Martial Arts and those eleven Ninth-Rate Sects, the resources he obtained from them could at least temporarily quench his thirst.

Similarly, in the span of one month, the quota of twenty thousand disciples for the God-Slaying Pavilion had been filled, and they had ceased to accept more.

In fact, Su Han did not want this. He would have preferred to have more disciples in the God-Slaying Pavilion, as it would expedite his conquest over the Dragon Martial Continent.

But that was all the resources he had. If he took on more disciples, what could he use to cultivate them? Distribute them evenly?

Clearly, Su Han would not do such a thing. He always believed that it is better to have a few skilled soldiers than many, training ten at the Dragon Pill Realm would obviously be more useful than training a hundred at the Dragon Spirit Realm.

…

Huang’an County City.

This place was not considered the center of Huang’an County City, and it was even somewhat remote. The surrounding area was full of withered vegetation, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was much more diluted compared to other areas.

Here lay a residence, about a hundred meters in size. It appeared dilapidated and was covered in spiderwebs, seemingly uninhabited for many years.

“What a wretched place. Three million Gold Coins a year for such a thin spiritual energy!”

Su Yunpeng grumbled as he tore away the spiderweb in front of him.

Beside him, Su Yunchen and Su Yunlie remained silent, and numerous Su Family disciples followed behind them.

From their expressions, it was clear that they were not too satisfied with this place.

Considering that back in Yuanshan County, the Su Family Residence spanned several miles and was lavish and majestic, just the concentration of spiritual energy alone was countless times stronger than here.

Having grown accustomed to such luxurious residences and enjoying the envious glances of others, adapting to a place like this was something they found difficult to accept all at once.

“All of this is because of that damned bastard Su Han!”

The more Su Yunchen thought, the angrier he became. A month ago, upon hearing of the Sect of True Martial Arts’ defeat, they immediately made their way through mountains and rivers to reach Huang’an County City.

If they had continued to stay in Yuanshan County of Yunyang County City, with Su Han’s character, there would be no consideration for family ties. Chances were he would have actually laid hands on them.

“Exactly!”

Su Yunpeng also said through clenched teeth, “I can’t believe how useless the Sect of True Martial Arts turned out to be. Even Pian Pingtian nearly got killed by Su Han. I thought the God-Slaying Pavilion would be annihilated by them!”

“Up to now, you still won’t admit how strong Su Han is?”

Su Yunlie’s voice came from the side, sighing, “It’s not that the Sect of True Martial Arts is too weak, but that Su Han is too strong.”

“Strong my ass!”

Su Yunpeng spat, “Big brother, can’t you stop boosting others’ morale and undermining our own prestige? Are you satisfied now that we’ve fallen to this state?”

“Ignorant…”

As for the temperaments of Su Yunpeng and Su Yunchen, Su Yunlie could only shake his head helplessly.

“I’ve heard that after the Sect of True Martial Arts was destroyed, people from the God-Slaying Pavilion indeed searched Yuanshan County. If we hadn’t left quickly, we might already be dead at Su Han’s hands by now.”

Su Yunchen snorted coldly, “This hatred is irreconcilable. If I ever gain the strength, I will certainly not let Su Han off!”

“Enough!”

Su Yuansheng couldn’t stand it anymore and suddenly bellowed, “Do you really think the God-Slaying Pavilion can’t find us? With the vast power of the God-Slaying Pavilion, even the Sect of True Martial Arts has been eradicated. If they want to find someone, not just a minor Yuanshan County, even the entire Yunyang County City wouldn’t block their vision!”

Hearing Su Yuansheng’s furious shout, both Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng shut their mouths.

“The reason they haven’t found us is not because the God-Slaying Pavilion can’t, but because they don’t want to! This time, Su Han has spared the Su Family a lifeline, but if you keep going on like this, the future of the Su Family will surely be destroyed by your hands!”

Su Yuansheng snorted again, “To inform the Sect of True Martial Arts and threaten the God-Slaying Pavilion by capturing the Head of the Xiao Family, you could stoop to such despicable and shameless acts. If Su Han hadn’t considered past feelings, you would have already paid the price for your actions!”

As his words fell, Su Yuansheng swept his sleeve and turned to leave.

His words were right, yet also not right.

Su Han had indeed deliberately spared the Su Family this time, but not because of any past feelings, rather because of Su Yunming’s sake.

Su Han knew that Su Yunming didn’t really want to see the day when the Su Family was annihilated.

But this was the last time. If the Su Family dared to cause any more trouble, Su Han would certainly not hold back his hand again.

“First, let’s clean up this place. No matter what, it’s still a place suitable for shelter.” Su Yunlie spoke and instructed the Su Family disciples to begin cleaning.

“Humph, a couple of good-for-nothings!”

Su Yunpeng darkly watched the backs of Su Yuansheng and Su Yunlie and said to Su Yunchen, “Second brother, up until now, they still side with Su Han; I bet they’d be all too happy to grovel at Su Han’s feet!”

“Su Han is indeed very strong at this time.”

Su Yunchen said darkly, “But we also have a chance for a comeback. Starting now, spread the word far and wide to take in children as disciples of the Su Family. Set the age limit between four and eight. For those willing to join, reward each with ten thousand Gold Coins. I’m sure in this place with thin Spiritual Energy, there will be plenty who are willing to agree.”

“You mean…” Su Yunpeng’s eyes lit up.

“Cast a wide net to catch big fish!”

Su Yunchen snorted, “I refuse to believe that among so many children, there isn’t a single prodigy. In a place where the Spiritual Energy is so sparse, most people’s talents cannot be shown. If we can single out one peerless genius, then we can have them join those high-order sects. Then, we might just be able to contend with the God-Slaying Pavilion!”

“As expected of second brother, I admire, I admire!”

Su Yunpeng laughed excitedly.

This method, if used elsewhere, might really be useless, but here, it might just succeed.

“Su Han, mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself. When the Su Family produces a peerless genius, I’d like to see how you’ll regret it!” Su Yunchen thought coldly.
