Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1051: The Change in Status (4 Updates!)

When Su Han and Elder Lin Ying arrived outside the Holy Spirit Palace, quite a number of people were already standing there waiting.

Looking around, a large crowd stood outside the grand entrance of the Holy Spirit Palace, most of whom were disciples of the Holy Spirit Palace. About ten percent were elders of the same rank as Lin Ying, and leading them were three individuals of the Dragon Emperor Realm.

Among these three Dragon Emperor Realm individuals, Su Han recognized one. It was none other than Yuwen Zhongcheng, the Heart Demon Hall Master, one of the Seven Great Temple Masters of the Holy Spirit Palace, whom Nangong Duanchen had introduced when Su Han and Nangong Yu first arrived at the Central Domain.

As for the other two Dragon Emperor Realm figures, Su Han could only sense their aura but did not know their identities. In any case, they wouldn’t hold low positions within the Holy Spirit Palace.

Beside the three stood a man and a woman. Upon seeing Su Han, the woman’s face lit up with a smile, as if she was quite familiar with him.

It was Bai Ling!

And the man, appearing middle-aged, was naturally the leader of the sect representatives at the tournament when Yun Qianqian was severely injured, the very person Su Han had asked to help.

His cultivation base was at the peak of the Dragon God Realm.

Su Han first glanced at Bai Ling, then at the middle-aged man, nodded slightly to both, and finally greeted Yuwen Zhongcheng, ”Palace Master Yuwen, how have you been?”

”Haha, I have briefly met Su Zun once before. I didn’t expect, after a few years of not seeing each other, Su Zun would become renowned across the Dragon Martial Continent. I am impressed, truly impressed!” Yuwen Zhongcheng clasped his fists and laughed, slightly flattering with his words.

In reality, he indeed sighed inwardly.

When he first met Su Han, Su Han was somewhat famous, but only in Yuanshan County, at most not beyond the Eastern Heaven Realm. In his eyes, Su Han was just a junior, even a nameless lad, not worth paying attention to.

But now, after a few years, Su Han’s name is known throughout the world, standing on equal footing with him. Moreover, even the Five Great Super Sects could not kill him, and there was news that he had crushed Ning Yihai, a Dragon Emperor Realm expert of One Slash Palace!

Though Ning Yihai’s cultivation was only at the early stage of the Dragon Emperor Realm and hadn’t opened the Imperial Domain, he was still a Dragon Emperor!

For Su Han to crush him showed that his true power exceeded the early stage of the Dragon Emperor Realm, yet his cultivation base... was merely at the mid-stage of the Dragon God Realm!

Others might think Su Han was hiding his cultivation. Still, Yuwen Zhongcheng could tell at a glance that Su Han wasn’t concealing anything; his true cultivation base was indeed at the mid-stage of the Dragon God Realm.

With just a mid-stage Dragon God Realm cultivation, he could break through limitations and crush early-stage Dragon Emperor Realm experts. How powerful would he become when he reached the Dragon Emperor Realm?

Therefore, Yuwen Zhongcheng was very polite.

Thus, the Holy Spirit Palace valued him greatly.

That’s why so many people came out to welcome him!

Everyone understood, no matter how powerful Su Han was, his greatest strength was not his cultivation but his indescribable talent and terrifying cultivation speed.

”We greet you, Su Zun.”

After Yuwen Zhongcheng spoke, besides the two Dragon Emperor Realm figures, everyone else bowed slightly and saluted Su Han with clasped fists.

”You are too kind,” Su Han returned the greeting.

Although he was indeed qualified to receive such respect, Su Han was self-aware, knowing he had yet to reach the level of dominating the Dragon Martial Continent, and he was someone who reciprocated politeness shown to him.

”Su Zun,”

Bai Ling also looked at Su Han, her eyes sparkling, jokingly saying, ”I wonder when Xuanyuan Wuqing will have such status and prestige as Su Zun.”

In the entire venue, apart from the three Dragon Emperor Realm figures, Bai Ling was probably the only one who dared to joke with Su Han like this.

”He will,”

Su Han smiled slightly, then said seriously, ”Believe me, in the future, Xuanyuan Wuqing will surely reach a point where the entire Dragon Martial Continent looks up to him.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling was taken aback, and so were the others.

They naturally knew Xuanyuan Wuqing. Typically, grand powers gathered information on strong individuals and talented newcomers within various territories.

They were surprised because, although Xuanyuan Wuqing was talented, he wasn’t considered a freak and couldn’t compare to Su Han. Why was Su Han so certain that Xuanyuan Wuqing would definitely achieve such accomplishments in the future?

However, from Su Han’s demeanor, he was serious, not joking at all.

”I hope so,” Bai Ling sighed, smiling even more.

Su Han nodded, saying no more, and then turned his gaze to the middle-aged man.

”Junior Cheng Yu greets Su Zun.”

Seeing Su Han look over, the middle-aged man hurriedly clasped his fists in salute.

”There’s no need for such formality between us,”

Su Han smiled, ”When Yun Qianqian was seriously injured, though it was the Holy Spirit Palace that healed her, you played a crucial role. I previously said I owed the Holy Spirit Palace a favor, but since the Yun family has already paid the Holy Spirit Palace a billion spirit stones, let’s say instead that I owe you this favor.”

”Junior doesn’t dare,” Cheng Yu was flattered and felt a bit excited inside.

Although he was the leader of the first round in the sect tournament, his status wasn’t high within the Holy Spirit Palace and he often faced some bullying.

Some people, although only at the Dragon Pill Realm, relied on having a Dragon Emperor Realm figure as a background, completely disregarding him. Sometimes they would seize resources meant for him and even insult him, and he had no background to rely on, so he had to endure.

But now, with Su Han saying he owed him a favor in front of so many people, it was definitely more than just a favor!

Given Su Han’s status in the Dragon Martial Continent, to say such words was akin to becoming his backer. Owing a favor was nothing; Su Han’s words carried real influence!

”Alright, it’s settled,”

Su Han smiled slightly, ”No matter what trouble you encounter, you can come to me, of course, unless it’s a Dragon Venerate wanting to kill you.”

”Thank you, Su Zun.” Cheng Yu quickly agreed, for refusing at this point would be seen as insincere and might displease Su Han.

Meanwhile, Yuwen Zhongcheng and the other two Dragon Emperor Realm figures exchanged glances, with a hint of shock deep in their eyes.

What did Su Han mean by this?

Any trouble could be brought to him? Except if it involved a Dragon Venerate?

Was he implying... he could now walk freely among the Dragon Emperor Realm?

They were shocked and puzzled but dared not ask more, and amidst banter, they led Su Han into the Holy Spirit Palace.

The Holy Spirit Palace was vast, and upon entering, the numerous trees seen earlier disappeared from view, replaced by a multitude of towering halls.

Of course, the most prominent among them were the seven largest palaces!
