Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2250: Chapter 2249: The Tide of Power? (Happy New Year!)

”Sect Master, this...”

Xuanyuan Qiong, Lian Yuze and the other high-level members of the Phoenix Sect all stood behind Su Han, dumbfounded.

They had anticipated that these powers would one day come to the Phoenix Sect, but they never thought it would be this fast.

Moreover, they didn’t bother with any justification at all, completely bypassing the Phoenix Sect’s control and directly requisitioning every inch of Phoenix Star’s territory.

Among this, that safe zone was naturally included!

And it was precisely because of that safe zone that these Grand Powers joined together to requisition Phoenix Star.

If not, then compared to the Three Teachings who possessed the Three Great Stars, this Phoenix Star with only some thirty million li of territory remaining—what would it even count as?

”Damn it!”

Lian Yuze clenched his fist, saying with hatred, ”These people know that if it were only a single power, my Phoenix Sect would absolutely not agree to let them in, so they chose to do this—flocking together, colluding in disgrace!”

”Only people like them could do something so overbearing!” Ling Xiao also snorted coldly.

Throughout the entire Phoenix Sect, not a single person was not enraged.

Even those small forces or loose cultivators who had previously spent Spirit Crystals to enter the Phoenix Sect fell silent at this moment.

”This is the human heart!”

Su Han took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping past Lian Yuze, and said in a deep voice, ”They don’t need your pity in the slightest. Whatever they want to do, they just go ahead and do it. In their eyes, my Phoenix Sect is nothing but ants. As ants, we can’t even protect ourselves—what talk is there of protecting others?”

”Sect Master, this subordinate knows his mistake!” Lian Yuze suddenly dropped to his knees, revealing deep regret.

He and some of the other high-level members of the Phoenix Sect had repeatedly pleaded with Su Han to rescue those who could still be rescued.

In their view, the Phoenix Sect now had enough Spirit Crystals, plenty of Demon Crystal Stones, and with the Blood Crystals obtained from killing Extraterritorial Demons, they were secure enough.

In such security, they could not bear to watch those cultivators be slaughtered by Extraterritorial Demons; they simply couldn’t harden their hearts.

However!

At this very moment!

Looking at those countless Starry Battleships, at the endless figures upon them, Lian Yuze suddenly felt that he had really thought far too much.

Just as Su Han had said, in a situation like this, when the Phoenix Sect itself can hardly survive, what is the point of worrying about others?

As for these people in front of them, do they even need his consideration?

They descended directly, using Supreme might to suppress the Phoenix Sect!

If the Phoenix Sect dared to object, then they would become the enemy of the entire Lower-Class Star Region, and could be... killed without mercy!

In that instant, Lian Yuze and the others finally saw this world with complete clarity.

Before you have absolutely sufficient strength, don’t pity others—because you... simply don’t have that qualification!

The Phoenix Sect had once saved over twenty million cultivators, but now, who could save the Phoenix Sect?

...

”Sect Master Su.”

At this moment, from one of the Starry Battleships on the Qing Emperor Sect’s side, Lin Jian slowly walked out.

He looked at Su Han with great interest, smiling faintly as he said, ”Previously, when Lin came here, it was only to apologize to Sect Master Su. But Sect Master Su made Lin wait for nearly a full year. Let’s not mention that aura for now—seeing you again today, one could say you’ve been doing quite well.”

Every sentence, every word, was that grating, filled with mockery.

The situation had changed too quickly; even Lin Jian himself felt somewhat dazed.

Previously, because the identity between Lord Holy Emperor and the Phoenix Sect had been exposed, fear had sprouted in his heart, and he had no choice but to concede for the time being and soften his stance before Su Han.

Who could have thought that in just a short year, the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects had once again secretly united, and directly used such a domineering method to requisition Phoenix Star!

With things at this stage, what apology was there to offer Su Han?

The entire Qing Emperor Sect had already moved onto Phoenix Star. Even if Lord Holy Emperor truly wished to act, he absolutely would not do anything to Lin Jian right under the Qing Emperor Sect’s nose!

Besides, Lord Holy Emperor had already gone to the place where the Destruction Empress was, and had not come down to the Lower-Class Star Region; Lin Jian all the more had nothing to fear!

”As for the past entanglements between Lin and Sect Master Su, let’s put those aside. I wonder this time...”

Lin Jian paused slightly, then smiled and said, ”How large a territory has Sect Master Su arranged for my Qing Emperor Sect? The range of that safe zone should have expanded enough by now, right? Lin, as the Eldest Young Master under Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor’s knee, will represent the Qing Emperor Sect here, and first offer Sect Master Su a word of thanks.”

Su Han narrowed his eyes, meeting Lin Jian’s gaze. In that icy expression, a calm gradually returned.

The Twelve Ancestral Emperors of the Qing Emperor Sect had not yet appeared; they should currently be inside the Starry Battleships.

The most crucial point was that the true foundation of the Qing Emperor Sect—Super Strongers like the Dark Sorcerer Supreme—had undoubtedly also come here.

Before such a power, the Phoenix Sect truly was like ants, with not the slightest ability to resist.

”Hu...”

He took a deep breath, his gaze shifting as he looked toward the Divine Dao Religion.

Just as he looked over, an old figure slowly walked out from within a Starry Battleship.

It was...

The Holy Pill Emperor!

”Disciple pays respects to Master.” Su Han pressed his lips together, cupped his fists and bowed.

Toward the Holy Pill Emperor, Su Han was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart. Just those ten Poison Pills capable of instant killing any Dao Sovereign Realm were far from something an ordinary person could bestow.

Even for a Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouse like the Holy Pill Emperor, refining those was no simple matter.

Yet he had not hesitated in the slightest, giving Su Han ten of them.

And he had even said that if they were not enough, Su Han could ask him for more!

Such a great favor, Su Han would not forget. Even in the current situation, even though Su Han was extremely furious, that anger, in the end, was directed at matters, not at the person.

”Little fellow, your Master...”

The Holy Pill Emperor’s expression was complicated. His dry, aged lips pressed together, as if he wanted to say something, yet in the end, he could not bring himself to speak.

Su Han knew what he wanted to say.

No matter how strong the Holy Pill Emperor was, he was still a powerhouse under the banner of the Divine Dao Religion. He could not interfere with the overall decisions of the Divine Dao Religion.

Just like... right now.

”Master.”

Su Han raised his eyes, smiling softly as he said, ”Your disciple has never blamed you. This is the general trend. Your disciple knows that you cannot decide it.”

”Ai...”

The Holy Pill Emperor let out a sigh, shook his head slightly, and did not say anything more.

Su Han’s gaze also moved away from the Holy Pill Emperor, sweeping one by one over the Sect of the Supreme Void, the Nine Factions, those Sects among the Seventy-Two Sects, as well as the loose cultivators brought by the Starry Alliance.

The latter all met his gaze.

They did not know what Su Han was thinking.

They did not know what meaning lay within Su Han’s eyes.

But they did know—

Su Baliu, and the entire Phoenix Sect, were definitely...

Filled with hatred toward them!
