Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1034: Chapter 1033: Was it my fault?

Ning Yihai was taken aback by Su Han’s words, and the other disciples of One Slash Palace were also momentarily stunned.

Ning Yihai was able to intervene so promptly because he had already been present, just not revealing himself. Naturally, he heard everything Nan Hong said before.

However, Ning Yihai did not understand what Su Han meant, nor did he know which exact words of ”Nan Hong’s previous words” Su Han referred to.

So, the first reason for their surprise was this, and the second was Su Han’s attitude.

This was also the reason all the disciples of One Slash Palace were stunned.

Though Ning Yihai was also a disciple of One Slash Palace, his cultivation base was truly that of a strong Dragon Emperor Realm, far surpassing Nan Hong. He couldn’t be viewed in the same light as an ordinary disciple of One Slash Palace. Such a Dragon Emperor would stand up to make Su Han stop; both the disciples of One Slash Palace and Ning Yihai himself thought Su Han should give him face.

But judging from Su Han’s expression, words, and actions, it appeared... he did not intend to give any face.

They believed Su Han could sweep the Dragon God Realm. After all, Su Han had gained fame long ago and was reputed as invincible in the Dragon God Realm before being surrounded and attacked. Whether it was Ji Family’s Ji Fengyun or Wang Family Mo Ancestor, both were renowned masters under the Dragon Emperor, but one was defeated and one died at Su Han’s hands; these were examples.

But to say Su Han could also be invincible among the Dragon Emperor Realm, they absolutely did not believe!

They didn’t just disbelieve; they doubted Su Han had reached the point of ignoring Dragon Emperor Realm!

No matter how strong Su Han’s talent and aptitude were, or how great his gains were in the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal, the time was too short for him to go from initially being unable to escape from Dragon Emperor masters to a degree of ignoring them in just two years!

Even if Ning Yihai was at the Dragon Emperor Realm Early Stage, it was impossible!

Therefore, when Nan Hong was breaking through, there were many disciples who worried about Su Han, since once Nan Hong broke through, he would be at the Dragon Emperor Realm, and whether Su Han could compete with him was uncertain.

But now, Su Han’s demeanor really let them see another representation of Su Han... arrogance!

Unbelievable arrogance, unimaginable insolence!

Within One Slash Palace, Ning Yihai was also One Slash Palace’s senior disciple, a Dragon Emperor master...

These identities alone could crush Su Han, and even if Su Han had the Young Palace Order of One Slash Palace, in front of a Dragon Emperor master, this Young Palace Order was simply ineffective!

Others might need to care about the Young Palace Order, but Dragon Emperor masters simply do not!

This is the true difference between being a Young Palace and merely holding a Young Palace Order.

Su Han holds the Young Palace Order, seemingly standing equal with Nangong Yu, but in reality, the gap is still immense.

...

Although it might seem like a long story, in fact, the thoughts of these disciples and Ning Yihai all took place in an instant.

Some disciples were angry, their faces showed displeasure, and some even let out cold snorts.

”Facing a Dragon Emperor master, not worshiping but acting so arrogant, others really haven’t misjudged you!”

”Do you really think everyone has to yield to you? Even if you have the Young Palace Order, you still need to be respectful before Dragon Emperor!”

”Ignoring even Senior Brother, do you think you yourself are a Dragon Emperor Realm?”

For many disciples of One Slash Palace, Ning Yihai’s status was akin to Su Han’s status in the Phoenix Sect.

Though Ning Yihai wasn’t the Palace Master of One Slash Palace, One Slash Palace had so many disciples, three million in total, and Nangong Duanchen rarely appeared in public, whereas Ning Yihai frequently appeared before the disciples.

As a Dragon Emperor, Ning Yihai didn’t have any arrogance, sometimes stopping to explain things about the Martial Path when disciples inquired. Many disciples had received explanations from Ning Yihai, and some even had breakthroughs after understanding, so over time, these disciples all had feelings of gratitude towards Ning Yihai.

Indeed, they didn’t have deeper feelings for Nangong Duanchen compared to Ning Yihai.

So upon seeing Su Han’s demeanor, those disciples immediately grew angry, their gaze towards Su Han was full of dissatisfaction, many directly scolding him.

In contrast, Ning Yihai himself didn’t get angry but asked, ”Did it matter what he said?”

”It seems you didn’t hear, or perhaps you didn’t take it in.”

Su Han said indifferently, ”Then let me repeat it for you. He just said that once he breaks through, he would cripple my cultivation base. Just based on this sentence, do you think I would let him go?”

Ning Yihai’s eyebrows furrowed immediately, saying, ”I remember, it was you who first wanted to cripple him. If he reacted this way, it doesn’t seem wrong, does it?”

”Indeed, Sect Master Su is imposing; it only allows you to cripple others, but not allowing others to cripple you?”

”Ridiculous, preferring I betray the world, rather than letting the world betray me. Such reasoning is utterly laughable!”

”Senior Brother has intervened; Sect Master Su, you’d better leave Disciple Mountain quickly. Once Senior Brother Nan Hong breaks through, it might become difficult to deal with.”

Many disciples followed along; they held a fanatical reverence for Ning Yihai, seemingly following whatever Ning Yihai says.

But there were still some clear-headed individuals; these people furrowed their brows, watching those stirring up trouble among the disciples, unsure what they were thinking.

Even if they believed the fault was with Nan Hong, they dared not speak up at the moment since they themselves were disciples of One Slash Palace, and in no way could they praise or criticize Nan Hong in front of Ning Yihai, a master of the Dragon Emperor Realm.

”You mean I was wrong?”

Su Han narrowed his eyes, completely ignoring the words of the other disciples, and said, ”Then let me sort it out for you from the beginning.”

”It was your junior brother, Nan Qing, in the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal, who arrogantly spoke against me and relied on the strength of possessing someone in the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal to plot my death. Perhaps you all don’t know, but I can tell you that once someone dies in the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal, they truly die, never able to return.”

”So, was I wrong to seek trouble with Nan Qing?”

Ning Yihai remained silent, and those disciples no longer spoke up because everyone understood the reason for Su Han’s visit today.

”I arrived, and Nan Qing could not match me. His brother Nan Hong didn’t attempt any persuasion; he directly incited many disciples of One Slash Palace to deter me. Not until everyone was defeated, including Nan Hong himself, did it stop. I warned him: as long as he didn’t continue, as long as he said two words of admitting defeat, I wouldn’t cripple his cultivation base.”

”But he, instead of being thankful, even wanted to cripple me after breaking through!”

”So I acted against him; after all, I feared he would reach the Dragon Emperor Realm, feared he would cripple me—is that wrong of me?”
