Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 819: Chapter 818: The Mysterious Xuanyuan Clan

”This kid, at least he manages to stay composed...” The Eastern Ancestor shook his head slightly. Just now, he had also been tense for Su Han, truly afraid that Su Han might act impulsively and actually kill those from the Sect of the Battle God.

Honestly, if these people died, the Sect of the Battle God might feel some pain, but for such a tremendous Super Sect, a loss of a thousand people is really insignificant.

Even if it were ten thousand, the Sect of the Battle God could easily endure it.

However, if he truly killed them, the consequences would be something the Phoenix Sect absolutely couldn’t bear.

Fortunately, Su Han did not make that move.

...

On the side of the One Slash Palace, Nangong Chenfeng’s expression remained composed, but from his slightly heaving chest, the locked gaze fixed on Su Han, and the tightly clenched fists, it was clear that he was also nervous for Su Han.

When Su Han finally held back, Nangong Chenfeng let out a breath of relief. In that brief moment, he even prepared for how he might deal with war against the Sect of the Battle God and other Super Sects.

But he also understood Su Han well. After all, given the grudge between the Sect of the Battle God and the Phoenix Sect, if the two sides clashed, it would be a fight to the death. If the positions were swapped at this moment, Nangong Chenfeng had no doubt that even if the Phoenix Sect had already admitted defeat, the Sect of the Battle God would still risk breaking the rules of the Sect Dominion Competition to kill every Phoenix Sect member.

As for the punishment?

The punishments were decided by the Top Ten Super Sects!

”I always thought he acted recklessly and never considered the consequences. But now, it seems I was mistaken.”

Nangong Chenfeng muttered to himself, ”From the very beginning, he has never acted impulsively. Otherwise, with all the factions the Phoenix Sect has offended, they wouldn’t have made it this far. Even in such circumstances, he can restrain himself. It can be said that he knows when to yield and when to press forward, demonstrating immense tolerance. If I were in his position, I might not have been able to achieve this.”

...

On the Xuanyuan Clan’s side, Xuanyuan Qiong stood at the forefront of the crowd, his face calm, continuously watching Su Han’s actions as if it mattered little to him whether Su Han killed or refrained from killing.

Behind him stood two elderly figures, one at the peak of the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, and the other in the Dragon Emperor Realm!

The cultivation base of these two was far superior to Xuanyuan Qiong’s, yet their faces were filled with reverence, not daring to show the slightest impudence.

”Grand Ancestor, do you think... he might truly be the one?” the Dragon Emperor Realm elder spoke at this moment, his gaze tinged with suspicion.

Xuanyuan Qiong shook his head, ”Whether he is or isn’t, it no longer matters. The omens left by the old forefather will never be wrong. The fact that this man appeared within the prophecy is itself proof.”

”But...” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

The Dragon Emperor Realm elder hesitated slightly and added, ”His strength is simply too low, and the Phoenix Sect is carrying countless troubles on its back. Perhaps we even need to clean up some of their messes ourselves.”

”What of it?”

Xuanyuan Qiong turned to look at the elder, ”You said his strength is low? He was able to obliterate Wang Mo at the peak of the Pseudo-Emperor Realm while only at the Dragon God Realm Early Stage. Can you manage that? Just now, with his sixth strike, he shattered the arena’s light barrier, unmatched beneath the Dragon Emperor Realm, and could even withstand a Dragon Emperor Realm attack once. When you were in the Dragon God Realm Early Stage, could you accomplish this?”

”I... I could not.” The Dragon Emperor Realm elder was rendered speechless.

”Never underestimate anyone. Ancient texts left by the old forefather recount that our Battle Clan originated as a fragile life form, but grew into one of the Top Ten Races in the starry sky.” Xuanyuan Qiong spoke softly, ”From the moment we are born, we shoulder the mission of the Xuanyuan Clan, and that mission is to unseal the Bloodline of the Battle Clan. This man, though currently only at the Dragon God Realm Early Stage, possesses strength far beyond his realm. No one else in the Dragon God Realm could reach this level.”

”I firmly believe he will not stop here. His future will be even brighter, and perhaps... he has experiences that you and I could never conceive of, nor dare to imagine.”

”I understand, Grand Ancestor.” The Dragon Emperor Realm elder took a deep breath and remained silent afterward.

”Cleaning up their messes, is it?”

Xuanyuan Qiong’s murky eyes narrowed as he looked at Su Han again, then smiled and said, ”So what if it’s cleaning up their messes? The Xuanyuan Clan has hidden from the world for too long, far too long. Perhaps many have already forgotten our existence. For the sake of unsealing the Battle Clan bloodline, it wouldn’t matter if we have to clean up every mess they make or sacrifice the lives of our entire clan!”

”Yes!”

The members of the Xuanyuan Clan all wore resolute expressions.

Unlocking the bloodline was their faith and their ultimate wish.

Over millions of years, no one has succeeded in this endeavor, but now, there was finally hope.

To others, life may be the most important thing—more important than anything else—but for the Xuanyuan Clan, if they could fulfill the wish of unsealing the bloodline, they would plunge into death without hesitation!

...

”He refrained from striking after all...”

On the warship, Yuan Ling from the Jade Void Palace wore a grim expression, clenching his teeth slightly.

Compared to figures like the Eastern Ancestor and Nangong Chenfeng, Yuan Ling naturally hoped Su Han would attack, killing all the members of the Sect of the Battle God.

First of all, it wasn’t his Jade Void Palace being targeted.

Secondly, as long as Su Han truly dared to kill, Yuan Ling could use the rules of the Sect Dominion Competition as a pretext to join the Sect of the Battle God, the Sword Immortal Tomb, and others in oppressing Su Han and the Phoenix Sect!

This oppression would be something the Phoenix Sect couldn’t withstand. At the very least, Su Han, as the Phoenix Sect’s Sect Master, would have to pay a price—and that price... would be his life!

If this came to pass, Yuan Ling wouldn’t even need to exert much effort, as he could justifiably remove the thorn in his side—Su Han.

”To hold back even at this juncture, it’s clear he understands the consequences of taking such action. This Su Baliu, whether it’s in terms of potential, aptitude, shrewdness, or strength, is incredibly exceptional. If he doesn’t die, he will undoubtedly become a significant threat to us!”

Thinking of this, murderous intent filled Yuan Ling’s heart.

Apart from Yuan Ling, other Super Sects like Giant Isle and Sword Immortal Tomb clearly shared similar ideas.

Yet Su Han ultimately disappointed them.

...

Amid the many discussions and schemes, Su Han stepped back, stood firm on the arena, and stared coldly at the remaining members of the Sect of the Battle God, sneering, ”Leave!”

The Sect of the Battle God’s members had long been terrified out of their wits. Having brushed past the Gates of Hell, they now valued their lives more dearly.

When they heard Su Han’s words, they showed no anger. Instead, without uttering a word, they tucked their tails between their legs and fled the arena.

Even Wu Hui, their leader, dared not linger a moment longer in the arena. He had heard of Su Han’s temperament and was genuinely afraid Su Han might change his mind and kill him.

Although doing so would bring great misfortune to the Phoenix Sect, Wu Hui himself would suffer the greatest loss—his own life!
