Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2239: Chapter 2238: Trying to Win Favor? (4th Update)

Regarding Xiang’er, from the very beginning, Su Han treated her as his own sister, or rather... as his junior.

With this kind of relationship, Su Han naturally wouldn’t have any other thoughts about Xiang’er.

Xiang’er felt the same. Although she called Su Han her brother, she was simple-minded and very close to him.

To be honest, this kind of feeling can only be familial affection.

”Xiang’er.”

Su Han took a deep breath and solemnly said, ”Thank you for this great gift. I have no way to repay you, but I promise, as long as I’m around, I won’t let you suffer even a bit of grievance!”

”What are you talking about? You are my brother!”

Xiang’er huffed cutely, then proudly lifted her little head: ”Besides, Xiang’er is now much stronger than you, brother. It should be Xiang’er protecting you.”

”Hahahaha, yes, yes, Xiang’er will protect me!” Su Han laughed heartily, feeling very happy.

Xiang’er knew Su Han’s true identity, so these words were just jokes.

She knew, and had great confidence in Su Han, that in the future, he would once again sweep through the Milky Way Galaxy, suppress Yuan Ling, and reclaim the position of Sovereign of the Holy Domain!

”There’s one more thing I need your help with.”

Su Han paused for a moment and then said, ”Have you heard about the two pieces of news that came from the Phoenix Sect previously?”

”Of course, one was the safe area, the other was the Kunpeng Sacred Body!” Xiang’er nodded.

”Right.”

Su Han said, ”The fame of the safe area has already spread, but no one believes in the Kunpeng Sacred Body, so...”

”You need me to help you promote it, brother?” Xiang’er was very perceptive.

”Haha, as expected of my sister!” Su Han laughed heartily.

He had thought before that to completely promote the fame of the Kunpeng Sacred Body, he needed to find someone with great prestige in the entire Lower-Class Star Region.

Without a doubt, Xiang’er was such a person.

If she could help the Phoenix Sect promote this Kunpeng Sacred Body, then the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects would certainly give it a try, for the Spirit Crystals needed for just the first level weren’t too many.

And once they tried it...

It would be unstoppable!

”No problem!”

Xiang’er agreed immediately, then added, ”But having helped you so much this time, brother, you can’t refuse if Xiang’er needs you in the future.”

”If I refuse you, how can I still be worthy of being your brother?” Su Han said solemnly.

...

Three days later, Xiang’er left the Phoenix Sect.

The reason she came this time was because the Phoenix Sect had gained fame, and Su Han’s identity was completely exposed, so she urgently wanted to catch up with Su Han.

Before this, she had looked for Su Han, but since he was hiding his identity, she couldn’t find him.

Before leaving, Xiang’er found Lin Ruoxuan and talked to her for a long time.

In the end, with Lin Ruoxuan’s eyes turning red, Xiang’er completely left.

She still had her own matters, like the Extraterritorial Demons, where the High-Grade Planet Region still needed her to maintain its safety.

...

And ten days after Xiang’er left, the starry battleships of the Qing Emperor Sect, Divine Dream Sect, and even the Immortal Sovereign Pavilion eventually returned to their respective schools and factions.

In the High-Grade Planet Region, a piece of news spread wildly—

Who said the Phoenix Sect has no backing?

Who said that Su Baliu is reckless, only relying on the safe area to be arrogant?

Bullshit!

Lord Holy Emperor is the sister of the Phoenix Sect Leader, Su Baliu!!!

The last sentence is key!

When this news fully spread in the High-Grade Planet Region, all sects were in an uproar!

The first to be in an uproar were those sects with intricate ties to the Phoenix Sect.

...

Within a palace in the Qing Emperor Sect.

”What? What did you say?!”

Lin Jian’s expression was hideous, gnashing his teeth, as he punched a nearby table, shattering it.

”Damn Su Baliu... He actually has such a strong supporter, why didn’t I realize it earlier!!!” Lin Jian roared.

”Eldest Young Master, everything I’ve said is true.”

An elder stood by, bowing: ”The Ancestor Emperor of Silver Sea personally visited the Phoenix Sect, but under the coercion of Lord Holy Emperor, he severed his hands and feet himself and was even forced to offer hundreds of trillions of Spirit Crystals as an apology. Everyone heard Lord Holy Emperor call Su Baliu brother, and Su Baliu’s son and daughter also called Lord Holy Emperor aunt.”

”Even the Ancestor Emperor of Silver Sea personally said...”

”Shut up!!!”

Before the elder could finish, Lin Jian snapped and smashed another table.

”This Su Baliu was hiding so well, I thought he was just brainless and offending people. It turns out... his scheming is far from simple!!!”

Lin Jian couldn’t have known that even Su Han didn’t know Xiang’er had become this powerful.

However, previously, Su Han’s reliance wasn’t just on the safe area, nor on any poison pills, and not even the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son!

The Xumi Ring of the Holy Son could indeed ensure the safety of the Phoenix Sect, but could the Phoenix Sect people always stay in the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son?

That’s impossible.

Just like before, when the Spirit Crystals were all used up, if they stayed in the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son for too long and ran out of Spirit Crystals, the people of the Phoenix Sect wouldn’t even have the chance to obtain Blood Crystals!

Su Han relied on two people.

The first one was the Holy Pill Emperor.

Even though he only met the Holy Pill Emperor once, Su Han remembered very clearly the words the Holy Pill Emperor said.

He lived for billions of years and had a keen eye for people, knowing well that if Su Han was in trouble, the Holy Pill Emperor would definitely help!

Perhaps, even the Divine Dao Religion behind the Holy Pill Emperor might intervene.

Of course, Su Han wouldn’t put all his hopes on the Holy Pill Emperor.

Because even if the Holy Pill Emperor would help, he was ultimately just in the Heavenly Emperor Realm and couldn’t control much.

He could protect Su Han once, but not forever.

Su Han’s real reliance was another person—

The Destruction Empress!

If the day ever came when the Phoenix Sect was on the brink of destruction, Su Han would definitely find a way to get the Destruction Empress to intervene.

As a fearsome powerhouse renowned for countless years in the Lower-Class Star Region, the Destruction Empress was definitely incomparable to those ordinary Heavenly Emperor Realm individuals.

If she intervened, the Phoenix Sect could resolve all crises!

”Young Master, what should we do now?”

The elder was Lin Jian’s confidant and had already paved all paths for Lin Jian.

”What do you think?” Lin Jian asked.

The elder pondered for a moment and said, ”The most pressing matter is to prepare a congratulatory gift for Su Baliu.”

”What?”

Lin Jian frowned and said, ”You want me to send him a gift? Isn’t that slapping my own face? Everyone already knows the grievances between Su Baliu and me. Su Baliu even boasted that no one from the Qing Emperor Sect could enter the safe area. And now, you want me to send him a gift?”
