Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2288: Chapter 2287: Target of All Arrows

Time, hastily passed by.

Beyond the endless terrestrial expanse, the Extraterrestrial Demons roared.

Though they were fierce and fearless, but faced with those four huge statues and the numerous Blood Crystals laid before them, they ultimately dared not confront death so brazenly.

And humanity, under this peace, quickly walked back on the original path.

Everything seemed so calm.

A millennium later, humans could coexist ’peacefully’ with the Extraterrestrial Demons.

...

At the beginning of the third year after Su Han went into seclusion, which was five thousand years inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

Shocking news spread from within the Qing Emperor Sect——

”From this day forth, all disciples of the Qing Emperor Sect shall withdraw from the Phoenix Sect’s safe zone and enter the Qing Emperor Sect’s safe zone without fail!”

The dissemination of this news shocked the entire world!

”What?!”

”The Qing Emperor Sect also has a safe zone?”

”Is this for real?”

Countless people could not believe it, and many figures were already heading toward the city where the Qing Emperor Sect was located.

This city was not sealed off, seemingly intentionally shown by the Qing Emperor Sect.

When they saw the gigantic red Light Shield identical to the Phoenix Sect’s, everyone was thoroughly astonished!

And at this moment, the Qing Emperor Sect released the method to create a safe zone——

”To create a safe zone, you can find a person with a unique constitution. If this person can hold a Flame Cloud Stone without making the Extraterrestrial Demons fear, then he is a person who can create a safe zone!”

”The more Flame Cloud Stones, the larger the distance of the safe zone, roughly one Flame Cloud Stone per mile.”

”The higher the cultivation base of the person with the unique constitution, the higher the level of Extraterrestrial Demon they can withstand!”

Extremely detailed, with not a single piece missing!

The Three Teachings and Nine Schools, Seventy-Two Sects, and even those small forces, not to mention numerous Loose Cultivators, all started frantically searching according to the Qing Emperor Sect’s method.

Once they found such a person with a unique constitution, they could create their own safe zone and no longer endure the extortion of the Phoenix Sect!

This was simply great news for them!

And as time progressed, by the end of the third year of Su Han’s seclusion, the Sect of the Supreme Void, one of the Three Teachings, also announced that they had their own safe zone.

The fourth year passed, and finally, the Divine Dao Religion also fully possessed a safe zone!

Year after year.

One after another.

These safe zones sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

By the time the seventh year came, the entire boundless land was covered with these red areas.

Which were... safe zones!

The Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects almost all possessed safe zones.

Some small forces had them, and some did not.

Those that did not were almost all integrated into other forces with safe zones.

As for the cities of Loose Cultivators, dozens of them were also covered by these red areas.

Everyone was cheering.

Because they no longer needed to pay Spirit Crystals to the Phoenix Sect and could also preserve themselves within these safe zones after a thousand years!

Amidst the cheering, everyone was also cursing.

The target of their curses... naturally was the Phoenix Sect!

...

”Hahahaha...”

”Damn Phoenix Sect, keep being arrogant, keep being reckless!”

”I wonder, how can you be reckless now!”

”Safe zone? Requiring ten million Spirit Crystals for the Spirit Transformation Realm? Requiring over a hundred million Spirit Crystals for the Spirit Body Realm? Bullshit!!!”

”We already have our own safe zone; who still needs to beg you? What are you?”

”Phoenix Sect, you are the enemies of the entire Lower-Class Star Region; besides the Extraterrestrial Demons, the first to be destroyed is you!!!”

”If you return those Spirit Crystals you devoured before, perhaps we might show mercy and spare your lives!”

”Luckily, you have that hiding place; otherwise, you would have been long dead!”

”But... you’d better never come out; I want to see how long you can hide!”

”A rat in the street, everyone shouts to beat, hahaha...”

...

In the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, within an illusory palace.

The high-ranking members of the Phoenix Sect were almost all gathered here.

From Xuanyuan Qiong and others to the Fusion Realm Experts.

This palace was almost too small to contain them.

In the outside world, seven years had passed, at least seventeen thousand five hundred years have passed in the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son!

In such a long time, individuals like Xuanyuan Qiong had already physically broken through to the Dao Sovereign and reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm!

The Seven Great Divine Kings of the Battle Clan now stood guard over the Phoenix Sect, being the strongest within the entire Phoenix Sect!

Ling Xiao and Ye Xiaofei had also reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm, although still slightly lacking in battle power compared to Xuanyuan Qiong and others.

As for Shen Li, despite having extremely high aptitude, he ultimately did not have the physique of the Battle Clan, nor Ling Xiao’s Heaven-Swallowing Demon Body, and certainly not Ye Xiaofei’s immense human face.

He progressed step by step, steady and firm, until now, though he had reached the Peak of the Dao Sovereign Realm, there was still distance to the Heavenly Emperor.

With the current comprehensive battle power of the Phoenix Sect, purely from the perspective of the Heavenly Emperor Realm, they were not at all afraid of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects!

However, the Phoenix Sect lacked a Sub-Immortal level powerhouse; though Xiang’er and the Destruction Empress assisted the Phoenix Sect, they ultimately were not the Phoenix Sect’s own Sub-Immortal level powerhouses.

Moreover, even the Destruction Empress, though able to suppress all Sub-Immortal level powerhouses in one-on-one combat, in this Lower-Class Star Region, she ultimately was just a Sub-Immortal level, not an Immortal level!

The Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, with so many Sub-Immortal level powerhouses, relying on the Destruction Empress and Xiang’er alone to confront them was unrealistic.

...

In the seven years outside, the Phoenix Sect achieved such great enhancement, which should have been an incredibly joyful thing.

But right now, everyone inside the palace showed no sign of joy, instead... a deep gloom!

Luoo Ning, Yun Qianqian, and the other five sat on the main seats, Xiao Yuhui in the center.

Her gaze sharp, sweeping over the faces of those below.

Although her cultivation base was not as high as the others, this gaze falling upon their faces felt like a blade slicing.

”Today, I took up your cultivation time and gathered you all here, as for the reason, I believe everyone understands clearly.”

Xiao Yuhui paused slightly, then said: ”So, speak? Who exactly leaked information about the safe zones?”

No one answered.

Everyone kept their heads down, brows furrowed, pondering deeply.

”Seems like nobody knows, right?”

Seeing this, Xiao Yuhui’s expression darkened.
