Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2220: Chapter 2219: Eight Hundred Million!

"Yes!!!"

Everyone, terrified, responded in unison.

They knew that their pleading just now had truly angered Su Han.

Although Su Han hadn’t explained much, they weren’t fools. Now that their minds had cleared, they secretly regretted what they had said before.

They were just members of the Phoenix Sect. If the sky collapsed, Su Han would be the one holding it up. What were they afraid of?

This casual pleading might be of no consequence to them, but to Su Han?

At a time like this, the thing Su Han hated most was hearing that kind of talk!

With fifty million disciples, how were they supposed to cultivate in the future?

How was the Phoenix Sect’s strength supposed to improve?

What was the point of putting on the airs of a Saint?

In this world, the ones who died first were precisely the Saints!

...

"Elder Fang."

Su Han turned around and looked at Fang Mie and the others.

"The foundation of the Sect of Taiyun is not something this Sect Master is unaware of. Even if you really abandoned more than half your wealth, you still wouldn’t just flee alone like this."

"Between Spirit Crystals and life, you still have to choose one. If you think Spirit Crystals are more important than life, then this Sect Master has nothing more to say."

Fang Mie’s brows furrowed deeply, hatred seething in his heart.

If the Sect of Taiyun were still at its peak, how could they possibly be so low and submissive before Su Han?

As the Grand Elder of the Sect of Taiyun, what status did Fang Mie hold? How could he be bowing and scraping like this?

He did indeed have Spirit Crystals, but if he took them all out at this moment, then how were these disciples of the Sect of Taiyun supposed to cultivate in the future?

More than eight thousand people—having them hand over Spirit Crystals according to their cultivation base was essentially forcing them to lose everything they had!

"Sect Master Su."

At this moment, the woman standing at the very center of the crowd bent slightly and said softly, "This little woman is Shangguan Xier, the daughter of the Sect Master of the Sect of Taiyun."

"If Sect Master Su can show mercy today, then the Sect of Taiyun will surely repay this favor in the future!"

"In the future?"

Su Han’s lips curled. "Sorry, this Sect Master never talks about the future when doing things—only the present."

Hearing this, Shangguan Xier pressed her lips together, about to say something more, but Fang Mie transmitted his voice to her: "Young Miss, this Su Baliu has a tight mouth. Given the current situation, I am the fish and he is the knife; hoping he will back down is impossible."

"Then give him the Spirit Crystals," Shangguan Xier said.

"Give him?"

Fang Mie’s brows furrowed again. "Young Miss, it’s not as if you don’t know the news that came out of the Phoenix Sect before. That was simply a lion’s mouth wide open!"

"Even a Spirit Transformation cultivator needs tens of millions of Spirit Crystals just to enter, while someone of this old man’s cultivation needs hundreds of billions!"

"We have more than eight thousand people here. Most of them are at the Divine Sea Realm, with more than ten at the Fusion Realm. Those of lower cultivation are already very few. If we average it out and count all of them as Divine Sea Realm, that’s a full Eight Hundred Million—eighty trillion Spirit Crystals. This practically... practically empties out all our foundation!!!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Mingxin’s delicate brows knitted as she looked at Fang Mie.

"Even if we lose everything, so what? They risked their lives to protect me all the way here. As long as it can keep them alive, no matter how many Spirit Crystals it is, as long as I have them, I can hand them over!"

"But..."

Fang Mie clenched his teeth and said, "But if we hand over these Spirit Crystals, then we’ll have no resources at all for cultivation in the future. Even if we survive for now, our cultivation base will decline step by step."

"When that time comes, if the Phoenix Sect harbors ill intentions toward us again, we’ll have no way to resist!"

Shangguan Xier gave a self-mocking smile. "If we hand over those Spirit Crystals, what qualifications do we have left for the Phoenix Sect to even bother harboring ill intentions toward us?"

"How can Young Miss think like that? With Young Miss’s looks, countless men covet you. I’ve heard this Su Baliu already has several wives and clearly values beauty highly. If he sets his sights on you..." Fang Mie showed his concern.

"If he really wanted to set his sights on me, he wouldn’t be just standing by, watching us here and ignoring us."

Shangguan Xier shook her head. "Give him the Spirit Crystals. You are the last people of the Sect of Taiyun. As long as you still exist, the Sect of Taiyun exists."

"Hu..."

Fang Mie pondered for a long time, then finally took a deep breath.

When he turned back and looked at those people of the Sect of Taiyun gritting their teeth to hold on, his eyes unknowingly filled with blood-red.

"Fine!"

Nodding heavily, Fang Mie’s face showed decisiveness. With a wave of his hand, countless Storage Rings were thrown toward Phoenix Star.

"Open the Light Barrier first and let them in!"

Seeing this, Su Han immediately gave the order, and added, "Xuanyuan Qiong, take people to receive them."

"Yes!"

Xuanyuan Qiong responded at once and, after the Light Barrier opened, charged directly into the Starry Sky.

Fang Mie and the others, meanwhile, fought their way forward and linked up with Xuanyuan Qiong and his people, finally entering completely inside the Light Barrier.

When they truly stood on Phoenix Star, all the people of the Sect of Taiyun, Fang Mie included, let out a breath of relief.

"It’s been nearly half a year!!!"

Fang Mie turned back, staring at those Extraterritorial Demons, and said through clenched teeth, "Ever since the news spread that Phoenix Star had a safe area, my Sect of Taiyun has been rushing this way."

"Along the way, the Sect Master was killed. The Deputy Sect Master stayed behind to cover our retreat and also died under the siege of the Extraterritorial Demons."

"Only now have we finally gained a brief chance to catch our breath. It’s a pity that all those sons of my Sect of Taiyun... have already died unnatural deaths!"

"Damn it... damn it!!!"

As he spoke, the Phoenix Sect Disciples had already finished checking the Spirit Crystals inside those Storage Rings.

A full eighty trillion—that is, Eight Hundred Million.

Su Han’s Divine Sense swept roughly over these people. Judging from their auras, their cultivation base more or less matched the amount of Spirit Crystals.

"And the Flame Cloud Stones."

Su Han said to Fang Mie and Shangguan Xier, "The Spirit Crystals are about enough, but as for the Flame Cloud Stones, not a single one can be missing."

"Take them!" Fang Mie gave a cold snort, clearly reluctant.

He had long since prepared the Flame Cloud Stones.

To be honest, compared to those eighty trillion Spirit Crystals, how much were these Flame Cloud Stones even worth?

With about eight thousand people, the Sect of Taiyun had contributed a total of seventeen thousand Flame Cloud Stones.

This was equivalent to allowing the Phoenix Sect’s safe area to expand by another seventeen thousand li!

Adding the previous area, it reached nearly seventy thousand li in total!

Su Han ignored Fang Mie and turned his head. "Alright, take them into the safe area first."

"Yes."

Liuyun nodded and arranged for several Phoenix Sect Disciples to lead the people of the Sect of Taiyun straight toward the safe area.

From start to finish, Su Han’s gaze did not linger on Shangguan Xier for even a second.

This, in turn, allowed Fang Mie to breathe a sigh of relief.

He realized that what he had worried about before was completely unnecessary.
