Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 990: Chapter 989: Arrival of the Two Ancestors

The next morning, as the sunlight spread across the earth, three pieces of news emerged from the Phoenix Sect.

The first piece of news—

The Phoenix Sect Leader, the legendary Su Baliu, has returned. On the foundation of the existing Five Divine Guard Corps, he will establish three new legions.

These three legions are named: Annihilation Army, Blood God Army, and Shadow Army!

The second piece of news—

All Phoenix Sect Disciples who have betrayed the sect must return within three days to confess, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!

The third piece of news—

Su Baliu commands that the Chen Family’s Second Young Master, Chen Lie, come to the Phoenix Sect to meet his death quickly!

...

The release of these three pieces of news once again sent shockwaves through the Dragon Martial Continent.

The first point of shock was that the legendary Su Baliu had truly returned!

The second point of shock was that the Phoenix Sect’s Five Divine Guard Corps were already formidable, and now another three legions were to be established.

Everyone understood that the current strength of the Phoenix Sect, apart from Su Han, was due to the Five Divine Guard Corps.

Many powers extended an olive branch to the Phoenix Sect, which in reality was an olive branch to the Five Divine Guard Corps. Unfortunately, very few of the Five Divine Guards had defected, countable on one hand.

There’s no doubt that once these three legions are established, they will only be as strong, if not stronger, than the Five Divine Guard Corps.

For certain powers, the Phoenix Sect is already formidable. Even without reaching the Dragon Emperor Realm, it has reached the level of a peak first-class sect. Although it has the backing of great powers like the One Slash Palace, it’s undeniable that the Phoenix Sect is indeed very strong.

Once the three legions are successfully established, the Phoenix Sect will completely dominate among first-class sects!

The third point of shock was the second announcement from the Phoenix Sect—

All Phoenix Sect Disciples who have betrayed the sect must return within three days to confess, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!

Why did these disciples betray the sect?

Even thinking with one’s toes could predict it; certainly, other powers were luring them.

This was known throughout the Dragon Martial Continent and required no guessing.

Yet, the Phoenix Sect announced that these disciples must come back to confess, or they would be killed!

What does this prove?

It proves that the Phoenix Sect has openly declared war on these forces!

Ridiculous, those who defected from the Phoenix Sect had long joined other forces, and these forces wanted the unique cultivation methods these disciples held.

These disciples clearly knew it was impossible to surrender everything, otherwise, without guarantees, why would these forces keep them around?

Having them return to confess is surely impossible, meaning the Phoenix Sect, to kill them, has to enter those forces, which will definitely protect these defectors; otherwise, who would dare join their sect?

In summary, for the Phoenix Sect to punish these defectors, they surely have to go to war with those forces!

Countless people are speculating if the Phoenix Sect has grown to this extent? Already in conflict with the Five Great Super Sects, now are they going to war with those medium and small forces? Can the Phoenix Sect handle it?

The Phoenix Sect, although strong, so far has a total number of less than a hundred thousand. If a war breaks out, by sheer numbers alone, if every disciple from those forces spat once, they could drown the Phoenix Sect.

And the fourth point of shock was naturally the third announcement from the Phoenix Sect.

The Second Young Master of the Chen Family, Chen Lie, was lecherous and harmed numerous women. After Su Baliu’s death, he even set his sights on Su Baliu’s wife.

Someone once asked Chen Lie, didn’t Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran both lose their chastity already, and provoking them meant offending the Phoenix Sect—was it worth it?

Chen Lie’s answer was just a few short words—such women have more flavor.

Many people despised Chen Lie, even if they had no direct connection to Su Han, but Chen Lie’s actions were clearly kicking someone when they’re down.

And his preference was utterly disgusting.

Chen Lie’s actions also drew public anger, as although Su Han was dead, the name ’Su Zun’ had spread throughout the Dragon Martial Continent, and many genuinely admired Su Han.

Unfortunately, the Chen Family was powerful, being one of the Thirteen Families with a deep foundation. Chen Lie, as the Chen Family’s Second Young Master, was doted on by the Chen Family Master, and no one dared to provoke him.

Su Han’s death already put the Phoenix Sect in danger. The Five Great Super Sects didn’t completely attack them only due to the restraint of powers like One Slash Palace. But these powers wouldn’t meddle in personal affairs, and if Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran truly wanted to follow Chen Lie, would the One Slash Palace interfere?

Plus, from an outsider’s view, at least Chen Lie didn’t forcibly take Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran, so the One Slash Palace and similar powers wouldn’t get involved.

This only fueled Chen Lie’s ambitions further, leading to repeated harassment.

Now, Su Baliu has returned and directly declared for Chen Lie to come to the Phoenix Sect and face his death!

There was no room for negotiation!

Would Chen Lie come to the Phoenix Sect to meet his death? Just like those defected disciples, would they return to the Phoenix Sect to confess?

Clearly impossible.

But Su Han has already released this news, and with his character, he would never let Chen Lie go. And if Chen Lie does not come to the Phoenix Sect...

Then perhaps, Su Han, even the Phoenix Sect, will descend upon the Chen Family.

After declaring war on those many forces, is the Phoenix Sect now going to war with the Chen Family as well?

This is the reason for everyone’s shock!

But regardless of their shock, the Phoenix Sect has already announced the matter. If the Chen Family does not give the Phoenix Sect a satisfying answer, then the Phoenix Sect and the Chen Family will be in perpetual conflict.

...

Half a month later.

On this day, someone arrived at the Phoenix Sect, two people, in fact.

Both were elders, and upon their descent, the void roared, the blood-red colors rolled, and even the ground trembled.

”Disciple, your Master has arrived. Why not come out to greet me?”

Laughter came from one of the elders.

In the room, Su Han, sitting cross-legged, immediately opened his eyes, his figure flashed, and he disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was on top of the city wall.

Seeing these two elders, the corners of Su Han’s mouth couldn’t help but lift. He cupped his hands and bowed, saying, ”Disciple Su Han greets the two Masters!”

”Hahahaha...”

Both of them laughed loudly, and their figures flickered as they came before Su Han.

These two were the peak loose cultivators, two of the Four Ancestors—Eastern Ancestor and Northern Ancestor!

”Truly still alive...”

The Eastern Ancestor extended a hand, gently patting Su Han’s shoulder, and sighed, ”It’s good to be alive, really good to be alive!”

”Something’s not right.”

The Northern Ancestor looked Su Han up and down, after a moment, turned to the Eastern Ancestor and said, ”Old guy, didn’t you specifically observe that day? The person using the Supreme Pass wasn’t him.”

”You should ask him yourself.” The Eastern Ancestor chuckled, looking at Su Han.
