Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2176: Chapter 2175: Su Han’s Furious Rage!

When the Extraterritorial Demons had been erupting for fifteen days—

Within the Phoenix Sect’s council hall.

Su Han’s face was gloomy, and all the surrounding upper echelons also wore ugly expressions.

”According to reports from below, in this half month, the Phoenix Sect’s roughly five billion disciples have already been abruptly reduced to around three billion.”

Lian Yuze stood at the front, pondered slightly, then said again, ”If this trend continues, at most another month, the people of the Phoenix Sect... will be completely wiped out.”

At these words, the entire hall fell into silence.

Outside, those continuous howling roars were still echoing.

”Immediately pull back the disciples, converge upon Phoenix Star in the shortest possible time. Only then can the Phoenix Sect effectively support the other Subordinate Sects.” Su Han said in a deep voice.

Lian Yuze hesitated for a moment, then grit his teeth and said, ”Sect Master, do you still not understand? It’s not that they won’t pull back, but... they simply can’t be pulled back at all!!!”

”They must be pulled back!”

Su Han’s eyes widened as he suddenly stood up; with force from his palm, he smashed the chair into powder.

From the very first instant the Extraterritorial Demons erupted, he had already given such an order.

But the speed at which the Extraterritorial Demons appeared was far, far too fast, leaving people utterly unable to react; where was there time to regroup?

The influence of the Phoenix Sect had spread, with Phoenix Star as the center, to a radius of over ten thousand stellar units.

For so many stellar units, even relying on Teleportation Formations, it would still take at least several days to transmit.

Yet the Extraterritorial Demons, in merely one day, had already spread throughout the entire Lower-Class Star Region.

Once they appeared, they immediately launched attacks against human cultivators.

As if there were some commander, or as if they had received some kind of directive; in short, they were far more intelligent than those Extraterritorial Demons on the Dragon Martial Continent.

In the very first instant of their appearance, so long as they were upon a planet, they would immediately destroy every Teleportation Formation they could see!

With things thus, if one wished to converge on Phoenix Star, it had to be done on foot.

There was no doubt that, on foot... the speed would be even slower!

Therefore, the disciples of the Phoenix Sect’s Subordinate Sects simply could not regroup; they could only exhaust themselves to the utmost, do everything possible... to survive, and await rescue from the Main Sect.

”Damn it, damn it!!!”

Su Han was furious beyond restraint, and said in a low voice, ”The moment they joined my Phoenix Sect, they became people of my Phoenix Sect! Whether they are Subordinate Sects, or followed us here from the Dragon Martial Continent, I only know that the robes they wear are all those of the Phoenix Sect, and what they harbor in their hearts is all the hope of rescue from our Main Sect!”

”If Teleportation Formations cannot transmit, then run over there on foot!”

”If they cannot regroup, then we of the Main Sect shall move out, and personally rescue them!”

”I am the Phoenix Sect Leader; I have the authority, the obligation, and also this responsibility, to save them!!!”

Looking at the enraged Su Han, the people in the hall didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Apart from those who had always followed Su Han, the others had rarely ever seen Su Han so furious.

And those upper echelons who came from the Subordinate Sects also, at this moment, seemed to somewhat understand why the Phoenix Sect Disciples supported Su Han so fervently.

In a situation such as this, the leadership of other sects would rapidly contract their battle power, bunch together, and do everything to ensure their own safety.

Yet here, Su Han was enraged to such a degree because he could not rescue the disciples of the Subordinate Sects.

From this point alone, one could see that Su Han was different from other sect masters.

”Calm yourself a little...” Xiao Yuhui said softly.

”How am I supposed to calm down?!”

Su Han suddenly turned his head and said, ”My disciples are all out there slaughtering with the Extraterritorial Demons, all dying one by one—how do you expect me to calm down?!”

Xiao Yuhui fell silent and spoke no more.

”Sect Master, this is not Madam’s fault...” Ling Xiao said in a low voice.

”I naturally know it is not her fault!”

Su Han gave a cold snort, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart.

”From now on, the Main Sect moves out. Aside from Ling Qinghai and Dongfang Han, the other Divine Kings will each lead a squad, and at the fastest speed launch an assault against the Extraterritorial Demons, to ensure the safety of the Subordinate Sect disciples!”

”Each squad will be assigned one hundred million people!”

”This Sect knows that under such circumstances there will certainly be casualties, and you yourselves are also very likely to die on the way to rescue them.”

”But you are people, and those disciples are also people!”

”This Sect does not wish for you to die, yet even more so cannot watch them die with open eyes!”

”I give you one month. Save as many as you can; after one month, immediately return to the Main Star!”

At these words, everyone’s bodies trembled, and they immediately stood up.

”We respectfully obey the Sect Master’s command!”

”Then go quickly!” Su Han waved his hand.

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”

One figure after another no longer dared to linger, and directly rushed out of the hall.

After they left, Su Han casually dragged over a chair and sat down, gently kneading at his brow, somewhat plagued by a headache.

”Father, do not be anxious...”

Su Qing’s voice came from behind him.

Su Han turned to look, only to see Su Qing standing there, worry showing in his expression.

Clearly, he was worried about Su Han.

”Come here.” Su Han beckoned.

After Su Qing walked over, Su Han pressed his lips together and said, ”Do you blame me?”

”Blame you?”

Su Qing was stunned for a moment. ”Blame you for what?”

”Blame me for not going to the Divine Dream Sect to propose marriage for you.” Su Han said.

Su Qing shook his head. ”Father, with this great tribulation of Heaven and Earth before us, there is no place for romantic entanglements. Qing’er understands the priorities.”

”Ah...”

Su Han let out a soft sigh, stood up, and lightly stroked Su Qing’s head.

”Qing’er, you’ve grown up.”

Su Qing remained silent, but in his lowered eyes, a trace of delight flashed.

This was the first time since his birth that Su Han had ever praised him.

”Remember this: as your father, I have never looked down on you, nor have I ever belittled you in my heart.”

Su Han continued, ”You are your father’s son; in your veins flows your father’s blood. Your father once swore that as long as it is something you and your sister desire, so long as it does not offend Heaven or harm others, then even if I must search the heights of the azure vaults or descend to the Yellow Spring below, your father will definitely strive to obtain it for you!”

”Father!”

Su Qing suddenly lifted his head, his eyes slightly reddened.

”Go now...” Su Han patted Su Qing’s shoulder.

”Father!”

Su Qing did not leave, but said instead, ”Father, Qing’er is no longer a child. In terms of Cultivation Base, I am at the Divine Sea Realm and can be considered a strong cultivator, so... Qing’er requests to enter the battle!”

”No!”

Su Han refused without even thinking, directly barking, ”Your Cultivation Base is too low—mere Divine Sea Realm. Within that Group of Extraterritorial Demons, what does that amount to? It is far too dangerous; absolutely not!”

”Father!”

Su Qing spoke again, ”I know that you dote on me and my sister, but such doting must not become indulgent!”

”The Phoenix Sect Disciples—even those at the Spirit Transformation Realm and Spirit Body Realm—are all out there desperately fighting at this moment. How can I possibly bear to sit and watch?”
