Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1284: Chapter 1283: The Shattered Dragon Martial City

When Su Han and the others arrived at the palace of One Slash Palace, Nangong Duanchen and the others were already waiting there.

With just one glance, Su Han could tell that the attitude of One Slash Palace now was completely different from when he first arrived.

It’s not that Su Han insisted on people being overly polite, but when he first came, only an avatar of Nangong Duanchen appeared, with only Nangong Chenfeng, Nangong Qihai, and Nangong Hualin present.

But now, Nangong Duanchen’s true self appeared, Nangong Chenfeng and the others were all here, as well as Baili Fenghan, who had previously helped the Phoenix Sect, and... dozens of Dragon Emperor Realm experts!

Mancheng, Ding Lin, and others were sitting there with smiles, and when they saw Su Han arrive, they immediately stood up to cup their fists in greeting.

Yes, they greeted him.

Before, it was Su Han who saluted them, but now, it was they who greeted Su Han.

No matter whether Su Han wanted them to do so or not, they had to do it anyway, because their statuses were truly different now.

Debt of gratitude is one thing, but etiquette is still etiquette.

The Phoenix Sect has tens of millions of disciples, and they killed a Dragon Venerate, forcing the other two Dragon Venerates to hide in the Barren Land, not daring to show themselves.

What does this signify?

It shows that the Phoenix Sect, not just in disciple numbers, but in the number and quality of their experts, has become terrifyingly powerful compared to before!

Even Nangong Duanchen wouldn’t dare say that One Slash Palace could still match the Phoenix Sect, so how could they not perform a greeting?

Etiquette is just etiquette after all.

After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, everyone took their seats.

Nangong Yu released Su Han’s hands and rushed towards Nangong Duanchen, her large eyes reddened.

After speaking with Nangong Duanchen for a while, Nangong Yu loosened her grip on Nangong Duanchen’s neck and looked towards Baili Fenghan beside him.

”You must take good care of my father in the future,” Nangong Yu said.

Baili Fenghan was stunned, and everyone in the grand hall of One Slash Palace was also taken aback.

Nangong Yu... could she actually say this?

Everyone knew that there were feelings between Baili Fenghan and Nangong Duanchen, but with Nangong Yu in between, their relationship had never been made clear.

Nangong Yu’s mother disappeared shortly after her birth, and even Nangong Duanchen didn’t know where she went.

It was because of this that Nangong Yu had never allowed Baili Fenghan and Nangong Duanchen to be together, firmly believing her mother was still alive.

All these years, Nangong Yu had been obstructing them and had no kind words for Baili Fenghan, giving her the cold shoulder whenever they met. Unexpectedly, after years of being away, her attitude changed.

”Is it because I helped Sect Master Su back then?” Baili Fenghan asked.

”You could say that,” Nangong Yu replied.

Baili Fenghan could not help but take a deep breath and cupped his fists towards Su Han, ”Sect Master Su, thank you.”

”It has nothing to do with me...”

Su Han said helplessly, ”If we’re talking about gratitude, it should be me thanking you. The favor from that time, I have always remembered.”

”Haha, it doesn’t matter who thanks whom, we’re all like family now, aren’t we, Sect Master Su?” Nangong Qihai said with a laugh.

After another round of banter, they finally got down to business.

”Why the Five Great Super Sects are holding the Dragon Martial Conference, I have already found out.”

Nangong Duanchen looked at Su Han and pondered, ”Years ago, many people descended from the starry sky. You should know about this, right?”

”Yes.” Su Han nodded.

Those five Light Pillars descending from the sky were visible to everyone.

Besides, Phantom Spirit and others were in the Barren Land, so how could Su Han not know?

”It was these people who prompted the Five Great Super Sects to hold the Dragon Martial Conference,” Nangong Duanchen said.

”Them? Those so-called geniuses?”

Su Han couldn’t help but smile, ”What are they hosting the Dragon Martial Conference for?”

”Who knows.” Nangong Duanchen chuckled, apparently not caring much either.

”In a few days, we’ll naturally find out,” Baili Fenghan said.

...

In the following days, Su Han and the others stayed in One Slash Palace.

It wasn’t until the day before the Dragon Martial Conference that they finally headed for Dragon Martial City.

Outside One Slash Palace, it was still teeming with numerous Extraterritorial Demons, densely packed and endless.

They roared and howled, wanting to attack One Slash Palace.

But surrounding One Slash Palace was a shocking Sword Light, seemingly able to exist eternally. Su Han could tell at a glance that it belonged to the Divine Blade of Water and Moon.

Evidently, since Su Han had given Nangong Duanchen the method to release the first-layer seal, One Slash Palace had found a way to unseal the Divine Blade of Water and Moon.

The Sword Light surrounded the area, encircling the two great mountains of One Slash Palace, and any Extraterritorial Demon attempting to rush in would be immediately slain into a Blood Mist by it.

Just like the Barren Land before, these Extraterritorial Demons were not without Spiritual Wisdom. After long attempts, they no longer attacked, only surrounding the place.

This time, One Slash Palace dispatched many people.

Nangong Duanchen’s avatar, Baili Fenghan’s true self, Nangong Chenfeng, Nangong Qihai, Nangong Hualin...

All were experts above the Dragon Emperor Realm, and almost all were pinnacle figures of One Slash Palace, regardless of their status.

In comparison, Su Han was the only one to show up, bringing only Ling Xiao and Shen Li, which seemed rather humble.

The group departed through the Teleportation Formation, without confronting those Extraterritorial Demons, directly transmitting to Dragon Martial City, using the formation Su Han had set up before.

...

The current Dragon Martial City is no longer as prosperous as in the past, with the bustling, crowded scenes all gone.

The Extraterritorial Demons had already destroyed this place, and the people either dead or fled, leaving only an empty city.

Even now, when Su Han and the others emerged from the Teleportation Formation, they could still see the numerous patches of blood-red around.

Around Dragon Martial City, several Light Barriers sealed it off, with the Extraterritorial Demons continuously attacking but unable to enter.

Su Han recognized at once that these were Formations.

Formed by more than ten million disciples of the Five Great Super Sects.

They sat cross-legged, eyes closed, maintaining the operation of the Formations. ℯℯ𝘭.

Su Han immediately understood that these Formations were surely provided by those starry sky talents to the Five Great Super Sects, otherwise, the Five Great Super Sects might not even know what Formations were.

Overall, this place was relatively safe.

Many of Dragon Martial City’s palaces had been repaired, though certainly not as before.

The place was filled with the disciples of the Five Great Super Sects, and when they suddenly saw Su Han and the others appear, they were taken aback.

They then quickly went to inform the senior members of the Five Great Super Sects.
