Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 514: Chapter 511: Fool

The cold shout began faintly, but as it transmitted, it transformed into thousands of thunderclaps above everyone’s heads, rolling the winds and clouds above the entirety of Ruyi City, echoing strikingly through the heavens!

In that instant, everyone was stunned.

Those standing before the city gates, wanting to join the Ruyi Sect as loose cultivators, were stunned.

The many disciples of the Ruyi Sect who had been inspecting these loose cultivators were equally stunned.

But the most stunned of all were the nearly hundred thousand loose cultivators who had followed behind the Phoenix Sect!

”What... what is going on?”

”Who is Gu Yunlei? The one who just spoke was the Phoenix Sect Leader, the top-grade freak Su Baliu! Could it be that this Gu Yunlei is some loose cultivator who offended Su Baliu over something and is now hiding in Ruyi City, hoping the Ruyi Sect will protect him?”

”Protect my ass, that Gu Yunlei is the son of the Sect Master of Ruyi Sect, his only son, and also the Young Sect Master of Ruyi Sect!!!”

”Young Sect Master of Ruyi Sect? This...”

”Phoenix Sect, weren’t they here to discuss a collaboration with Ruyi Sect?”

”Damn... Don’t fucking tell me Phoenix Sect came to cause trouble for Ruyi Sect—I came here expecting protection from both Phoenix Sect and Ruyi Sect. If they are here to stir up trouble... I might as well run away fast!”

”It can’t be possible, the disciples of Ruyi Sect number five hundred thousand, and because they have been recruiting disciples lately, they have at least reached seven or eight hundred thousand by now. Although the quality isn’t there, they overwhelmingly outnumber others; the Phoenix Sect only has a little more than ten thousand people after all. Even if Su Baliu himself were here, could he really pose a threat to Ruyi Sect?”

”The Sect Master of Ruyi Sect is ranked among the super strong ones in the Dongling Kingdom, said to be invincible below the Pseudo-Emperor level. It’s unclear who between him and the freak Su Baliu is stronger.”

The continuous chatter stopped briefly, as these loose cultivators, confused about the recent outburst from Su Han, tried to comprehend the situation.

They had previously thought that Phoenix Sect came to cooperate with Ruyi Sect, bringing along the Five Divine Guard Corps and thousands of disciples to let Ruyi Sect recognize Phoenix Sect’s strength and potential, thereby continuing the cooperation.

And they, having followed from afar, felt that Phoenix Sect was already hugely powerful and legendary, having annihilated one sect after another; collaborating with Ruyi Sect, the strongest sect in Dongling Kingdom, would undoubtedly boost their strength. Even if they couldn’t gain protection from Phoenix Sect, they could still join Ruyi Sect, which was currently unconditionally accepting disciples.

But...

The change right before them seemed to exceed their expectations, causing those who initially wanted to join Ruyi Sect to hesitate slightly.

”Gu Yunlei!”

”Get out here for your Sect....”

”Get out here...”

”Out here...”

”Here...”

As they were discussing, Su Han spoke out again.

The massive voice, like a million thunders resounding in the void, caused the winds and clouds to swirl, the void to tremble, and even the hearts of the loose cultivators to shudder fiercely.

Many of the loose cultivators behind the Phoenix Sect, being closest to the source, now had tens of thousands of pale faces, and blood seemed almost ready to spray forth.

The massive voice continued to echo as if it would never cease, seemingly about to shatter the entire city at that very moment.

As Su Han’s second statement concluded, almost everyone understood.

The Phoenix Sect wasn’t here to collaborate; they were clearly here to cause trouble!

Watching disaster approach and still causing trouble? And even targeting the strongest sect in the entire Dongling Kingdom, the Ruyi Sect?

Those without interest found Phoenix Sect’s arrogance excessive and considered these actions a certain death wish.

However, those with interest pondered deeply, separated from the group intending to join the Ruyi Sect and stood far away, quietly watching.

Due to Su Han’s statement and the appearance of the Phoenix Sect, the loose cultivators at the four gates of Ruyi City, who wanted to join the Ruyi Sect, all paused. Most of them retreated, clearly waiting for the two sects to resolve this issue before deciding what to do next.

”How dare you!”

At the southern gate of Ruyi City, a young man in a purple robe, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes firmly closed, opened his eyes and stood up at this moment.

The purple robe was the distinctive attire of a Pinnacle Disciple of the Ruyi Sect.

At each of the four gates—east, west, south, and north—there was a Pinnacle Disciple stationed.

This young man’s cultivation base was at the Dragon Pill Realm Early Stage. With a cold snort, he spoke, ”Flying above Ruyi City is forbidden. Who are you to not only ignore the laws of Ruyi City but also brazenly speak against the Young Sect Master of my Ruyi Sect, seeking death, it seems?!”

At these words, all the loose cultivators were stunned.

Is this guy an idiot or a fool? With such intelligence, he could become a disciple of the Ruyi Sect, let alone a Pinnacle Disciple? Doesn’t he even research what the disciples of the major sects wear?

Even the least knowledgeable knew the people standing on that leaf belonged to the Phoenix Sect. And even if someone genuinely couldn’t recognize them, they should have been able to tell from the speech of those loose cultivators.

This person, if not a fool, then surely arrogant, not putting Phoenix Sect in his eyes at all!

”Whoosh!”

Just as the young man finished speaking and while the loose cultivators were still in shock, Shangguan Mingxin from the leaf above reached out with her slender hand and made a slight gesture downwards.

”Boom!”

With her gesture, the void thundered, the clouds rolled back, and a tremendous pressure suddenly burst forth.

The young man’s pupils contracted, obviously not expecting that Shangguan Mingxin would dare to strike him in front of Ruyi City.

His sense of crisis surged, and with a wave of his hand, layers of light barriers appeared around him while the Dragon Power of his Dragon Pill Realm Early Stage cultivation also burst forth at that moment.

”Boom!”

The palm struck him directly.

In that instant, all the young man’s defensive barriers were shattered as easily as rotting wood, leaving not a single barrier unbroken even for a breath’s time.

”Snap!”

After all his barriers were shattered, the hand suddenly reduced to the size of a normal human’s and slapped the young man across the face.

With the slap, an intense pain traveled across his face, and the young man screamed in agony.

His left cheek caved in, making it appear from the side as if he only had half a face!

Moreover, as he screamed, a tremendous force acted on his body, directly invading his insides, completely demolishing his internal organs. His hard-formed Dragon Pill also shattered explosively at that moment.

Under that palm strike, he spat a mouthful of blood and, shrieking, was flung hundreds of meters away from the southern gate until he finally crashed to the ground with a thud, stirring up a cloud of dust.
