Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1689: Chapter 1688: Su Han’s Objective

”Whoosh whoosh...”

Two figures swiftly swept past the lava cave entrance. With the Fire Attribute Origin Light Screen that Su Han had established, the magma couldn’t harm the two of them.

Mu Shenling, however, was different.

The terrifying temperature of the magma, having turned black, nearly reached the Intermediate Law Strength!

What she possessed was not the Law of Water Attribute, but the Wood Element Law, which was just countered by the Fire Attribute.

At this moment, she didn’t dare to exert the law to resist. Helplessly, she had to lightly bite her lower lip, wave her jade hand, and several defensive artifacts appeared on her.

With her Seventh Grade Spirit Body Realm cultivation base, she could at most use Ghost Artifacts. However, it was not surprising that Mu Shenling, with her high status, possessed some other means.

A Low-Grade Mysterious Artifact Rank armor also appeared on her.

Of course, that’s all.

She had items of higher rank, but she couldn’t use them at all.

”Whoosh!”

When her figure flashed through the lava cave entrance, all the mysterious devices on her miraculously disappeared, leaving only that Ghost Artifact armor worn.

At this moment, she looked extremely disheveled, her Immortal Fairy’s demeanor vanished, and her previously jet-black hair seemed on the verge of being scorched. If Mu Shenling hadn’t been desperately resisting, it might have actually burned away.

”Squawk!!”

The sound of the Fire God Bird came, and six gigantic figures swiftly chased from behind.

They had been fooled by the White Tiger Phantom earlier, and now, having come to their senses, they were even angrier.

”Whoosh...”

A strong wind with intense heat roared by, and one of the Fire God Birds directly crossed over their heads, blocking in front of the three.

”It’s over...”

Seeing the outside world just ahead but being blocked by the Fire God Bird, Lin Fengjie’s face turned deathly pale.

If they had just a moment’s time, they could escape from here.

The Fire God Bird, comparable to the Divine Sea Realm, clearly didn’t plan to let them go.

Meanwhile, the five Fire God Birds opened their beaks simultaneously, and terrifying flames erupted from their mouths.

Su Han didn’t say a word, immediately unleashing the light from the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, enveloping Lin Fengjie.

”Whoosh!”

The two of them disappeared without a trace.

Mu Shenling was a bit astonished seeing the two disappear, determination reflecting on her pretty face as she took out a few runes and simultaneously tore them apart.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

Those runes all formed defensive shields, falling upon her.

”Boom!”

The flames erupted, instantly engulfing Mu Shenling.

...

Inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

”You think she’s dead?” Lin Fengjie murmured.

”Not yet.”

Su Han glanced at the unfolding events outside, lightly shook his head, and casually said, ”Dead or not, if she comes out, she’ll still cause us trouble.”

”Ahem, uh...”

Lin Fengjie glanced at Su Han, hesitantly suggested, ”Why not... let her in too?”

Su Han frowned, looking at Lin Fengjie: ”Why?”

”A delicate young lady about to be burned to death, isn’t right, right?” Lin Fengjie’s gaze was somewhat evasive.

Su Han’s frown deepened.

”Don’t you strongly dislike those supposed Immortal Fairies? You think she can’t even match your toes, why do you feel sorry?”

”Honestly, I don’t really care. Logically, Mu Shenling’s life or death doesn’t affect me much.”

Lin Fengjie hesitated a moment before continuing, ”You might not know, but Mu Shenling’s father, Mu Teng, is the Executor of the Eastern Star Domain in the Lower-Class Star Region, under the Starry Alliance.”

”Hmm?”

Su Han’s eyes brightened: ”Are you sure?”

”Of course, would I deceive you?”

Lin Fengjie sighed, ”I really dislike Mu Shenling, but we’ve got to think about the future! If she dies here and we make it out, those two old ones outside will definitely blame us for her death. Even if not, we’ll still get in trouble.”

”Mu Teng only has this one dear daughter. When he learns of Mu Shenling’s death, he’ll definitely be furious. Not just us, even the Qing Emperor Sect might be implicated.”

”The key is... my old man is good friends with Mu Teng!”

Indeed, this was the crux!

Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor had a close relationship with the Executor Mu Teng of the Eastern Star Domain!

Lin Fengjie wasn’t the type of spoilt child; his brother and the legitimate wife treated him badly, but it didn’t mean his father did too.

Many matters need his father’s consideration.

This incident, involving him, naturally involved his father, and further implicated the entire Qing Emperor Sect.

Should Mu Shenling truly perish here, it would bring considerable trouble later.

No matter how strong the Qing Emperor Sect is, it can’t outpower the Starry Alliance. Who knows what Mu Teng might do in his fury.

Of course, none of this concerns Su Han. He is only interested in Mu Teng’s status — Executor of the Eastern Star Domain!

Su Han has been pondering ways to see if he can bring the Phoenix Sect’s people into the Lower-Class Star Region on a large scale.

Previously, he hadn’t taken them because he hadn’t secured a firm footing in the Lower-Class Star Region. Assuming they haven’t the skills to survive, even if discovered by the Starry Alliance, they’d suffer.

But now, with the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion as a backdrop, though not strong, it’s sufficient for the survival of the Phoenix Sect.

However, bringing them all up becomes a massive challenge.

It’s like ascending the heavens!

Under the control of the Starry Alliance, even bringing up one person requires rigorous inspection, let alone thousands.

Yet now, Su Han seems to have an idea...

”Have you decided?”

Seeing the Fire God Bird ready to attack Mu Shenling again, Lin Fengjie urgently said, ”Damn, you’re setting me up. How about this, I’ll owe you Lin Fengjie a favor!”

”Alright.”

Su Han’s lips curled slightly into a smile; a favor from the son of an Ancestor Emperor is definitely worthwhile.

Without hesitation, Su Han once again cast the light from the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

Mu Shenling, now with blood trickling from her mouth and a pale complexion, clearly, despite the rune protection, could scarcely sustain and was somewhat injured.

In her eyes, Su Han saw no regret, only a resolute courage to go forward.

”Come in!”

The light enveloped Mu Shenling, and Su Han shouted.

Mu Shenling slightly paused, apparently surprised at Su Han’s decision to rescue her.

Yet she quickly responded and entered the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

”Boom!!!”

Just as she entered, those attacks from the Fire God Birds came once more.

This time, they were noticeably stronger than before; the terrifying heat from the flames could be felt by everyone, even through the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.
