Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 993: Chapter 992: Be Careful What You Say

Phoenix Sect, within the grand hall.

The so-called Chen Family’s external representative is essentially their liaison for matters with outside forces. Many of the dealings with entities outside the Chen Family are handled by this representative.

There are quite a few external representatives from the Chen Family. The one present today is named Chen Qing, a middle-aged man.

Not only him, but the Chen Family also brought a total of a hundred people, including two elders, whose auras have reached the Peak Pseudo-Emperor Realm, extremely powerful.

Besides these two elders, there are over a dozen in the Dragon Emperor Realm, as well as some disciples of the Chen Family.

The faces of these Chen Family disciples are all arrogant, as if they are here to inspect the Phoenix Sect and completely disregard its people.

Before they arrived here, the Chen Family had already informed them that following the external representative’s visit to the Phoenix Sect was to showcase the Chen Family’s might.

As the saying goes, when two countries go to war, envoys are not harmed. This saying is applicable on the Dragon Martial Continent too.

The arrogance of these Chen Family disciples stems from their belief that the Phoenix Sect wouldn’t dare do anything to them. Even if the talks completely break down, they would leave unharmed.

”Pah, what arrogance!”

”They really think highly of themselves? We afford them the respect of calling them Chen Family disciples, without it, they aren’t even worth a fart!”

”Look at them, do they really think they’ve reached the Dragon Venerate Realm? Do they actually think our Phoenix Sect people are supposed to serve them?”

”Ah, the Chen Family doesn’t understand our Sect Master’s temperament... These guys are probably not far from death.”

Looking at each Chen Family disciple with their chins almost pointing to the sky, the Phoenix Sect members all sneered coldly in their hearts.

However, guests are guests. They didn’t slack off. Even if there’s really a need to act, it will only be under the Sect Master’s orders.

...

As time passed by, several hours went by.

Chen Qing frowned, seeming a bit impatient, and said, ”Elder Lian, it’s been several hours already. Even if Sect Master Su were dressing up meticulously, it wouldn’t take this long, would it?”

”The Sect Master hasn’t come because the Sect Master has matters to attend to. You should just wait patiently,” Lian Yuze replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing’s frowned deeper but, considering his purpose for coming, he said nothing more.

With this waiting, several more hours passed.

”What is this?”

Finally, a Chen Family disciple grew impatient and said, ”We traveled thousands of miles from the Central Domain with utmost sincerity, and the Phoenix Sect has had us standing here all this time? Is even a chair too much to ask for? Although Sect Master Su’s return is grand and known throughout the Dragon Martial Continent, so much time has passed without any appearance—is he too ashamed to face us...”

”Shut up!”

Chen Qing immediately glared at the speaker, who, although unwilling, muttered in silence.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Phoenix Sect disciples frowned, their expressions cold.

Lian Yuze directly looked at the speaking Chen Family disciple and said, ”What did you just say?”

”Don’t blame him, Elder Lian. Our Chen Family juniors have little experience and speak rashly. I hope Elder Lian does not take it to heart,” Chen Qing said, clenching his fists, though his face showed no sign of apology.

In truth, his heart was already irritated.

Wherever he went as the Chen Family’s external representative, wasn’t he always greeted by others?

But now, Su Han clearly had him waiting here endlessly, evidently trying to make things difficult for him.

”You can speak nonsense but not eat nonsense,” Lian Yuze glanced at the Chen Family disciple, saying no more.

”Hahaha...”

His words directly induced laughter among the Phoenix Sect disciples, the derisive laughter unmasked.

Honestly, Phoenix Sect people truly couldn’t understand why the Chen Family sent an external representative to the Phoenix Sect at this time.

Peace talks? That seems unlikely.

Threats? Isn’t that courting death?

In any case, due to the incidents with Chen Lie, the entire Phoenix Sect is extremely hostile towards the Chen Family, even facing these Chen Family disciples brings distaste.

Hearing the laughter around, coupled with Lian Yuze’s previous remarks, the faces of the Chen Family people flushed, anger surfacing.

Especially the Chen Family disciple who spoke earlier—his Dragon Spirit Realm aura surged as he sharply addressed Lian Yuze, ”Who do you think you are, daring to insult me? Believe it or not, I’ll have my father cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs!”

”Insolent!”

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of auras locked onto him, and all the Phoenix Sect members displayed an intention to kill, their energy bursting forth.

Lian Yuze slowly stood up, staring at the person, and said composedly, ”I am now sticking out my tongue; come and cut it. If you don’t dare, I will cut yours.”

After speaking, Lian Yuze actually stuck out his tongue, placing it right in front of the person.

Seeing this, the Chen Family disciple was thoroughly panicked.

He might have thought the Phoenix Sect wouldn’t dare do anything, but that was under the condition of not provoking them. Now, with things escalating to this point, if he truly dared to act, there wouldn’t be any good consequences for him.

”Elder Lian, the junior’s words are inappropriate...”

Chen Qing attempted to mediate, but Lian Yuze waved his hand, directly cutting off Chen Qing’s words.

”I am the First Elder of the Phoenix Sect. My words and actions represent the Phoenix Sect. If the Chen Family’s disciple wants to cut my tongue, then I’ll obediently stick it out for him. Does this approach satisfy Chen Qing, the external representative?”

”This...”

Sweat beaded on Chen Qing’s face as he cursed this Chen Family disciple internally.

As an external representative, he was extremely shrewd. If things broke down upon visiting the Phoenix Sect, he wasn’t afraid because as an envoy, the Phoenix Sect wouldn’t kill them.

But in the current situation, who could confidently say the Phoenix Sect could truly endure this?

”Cough, cough...”

At that moment, a light cough sounded from outside.

Everyone turned to look, seeing a few figures approaching from outside the hall, the one in the center being a young man in white, flanked by two women.

”Su Baliu!”

At the sight of this young man, the name echoed in the minds of all the Chen Family members.

Many hadn’t seen Su Han in person, yet his legendary deeds had spread throughout the Dragon Martial Continent.

Everything Su Han did was considered legendary, with methods that were especially ruthless, particularly the incident in Dragon Martial City’s square where he executed Wang Family’s Mo Ancestor, catapulting his fame to its peak.

Before seeing Su Han, they were unafraid, but the moment he appeared, the hearts of the Chen Family members were seized with apprehension.
