Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2222: Chapter 2221: Sixth Grade Divine Sea Realm!

"Su Baliu, we old fellows have already been here for three months, yet you’ve been hiding inside Phoenix Sect this whole time and refuse to come out. Don’t tell me you’ve gotten cowardly to this extent?!"

"So-called Nine Shadows Young Master, that’s all you are? Truly disappointing!"

"At a time like this, when calamity is upon us, we should be acting together, putting the safety of the Lower-Class Star Region first. Yet your Phoenix Sect, just because you have a safe zone, actually dares to extort us like this. You’re making money off the dead—you’ll get your retribution!"

"To put it bluntly, even if this Phoenix Star territory belongs to Phoenix Sect, if you really want to talk ownership, it also belongs to every single Cultivator in our Lower-Class Star Region!"

"Exactly. If this safe zone had appeared in normal times, fine, we’d let it go, but in this situation, why should your Phoenix Sect monopolize it? At the very least, we should have a share of it!"

"Su Baliu, don’t push your luck when we’re giving you face. If this keeps going on, don’t blame our Sect of Battle Heaven for turning hostile and pretending we don’t know you!"

"Open the Light Barrier and let us in!"

"If you keep stalling, we’ll just destroy this Light Barrier ourselves!"

"By then, with the crowd riled up, I’m afraid those innocent Disciples of your Phoenix Sect will all suffer for it!"

"Just with a mere Phoenix Sect, do you really think you can stop us? If we weren’t worried about destroying that safe zone along with it, we would’ve wiped out this Phoenix Star already!"

...

Outside the Light Barrier, a torrent of voices came rolling in.

Although Lian Yuze was already used to it, every single voice still felt like a giant hammer smashing into his mind, making his expression grow darker and darker.

With Su Han not here, he honestly had no idea how to handle this kind of situation, and didn’t even know how to talk to these people.

If he spoke too harshly, Lian Yuze was afraid he’d really stir up public fury.

If he spoke too softly, these people would think Phoenix Sect was easy to bully.

In this situation, Lian Yuze finally truly understood how difficult things were for Su Han.

Being the master of a Sect, how could it possibly be as simple as it looked from the outside?

Liuyun and the others were also secretly regretting having pleaded for those people from the Sect of Taiyun before.

From the expressions and words of those outside, they could all tell that if the Sect of Taiyun were still at its former Peak, they absolutely wouldn’t be begging Su Han. How would it ever have come to them pleading on the Sect of Taiyun’s behalf?

"Being softhearted really is a quick way to die..." everyone silently clenched their fists.

"Deputy Sect Master!"

Right at this moment, a Disciple ran over from behind and said respectfully, "Deputy Sect Master, the Sect Master has already come out of seclusion."

"He’s out?"

Lian Yuze’s face lit up with joy, and he finally let out a long breath of relief.

If this kept going, he felt like he was going to be driven to death alive.

"Ling Xiao, you guys hold the situation here for now, I’ll go report to the Sect Master." Lian Yuze said.

"Alright." Ling Xiao nodded.

...

Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, within a valley.

"My dear Sect Master, you finally came out of seclusion!"

Lian Yuze stood outside the valley, looking down. He could see a white-robed figure standing there.

"Your aura... you broke through again?"

When he sensed the aura on Su Han’s body, Lian Yuze’s expression brightened with delight.

"Mm."

Su Han nodded slightly. "My Martial Path Cultivation has already reached the Sixth Grade Divine Sea Realm."

"Sixth Grade Divine Sea Realm!"

Lian Yuze’s eyes immediately lit up, an expression of wild joy appearing on his face.

If it were someone else breaking from Fifth Grade to Sixth Grade, he’d think it was nothing special, just another normal thing.

But standing here was not "someone else," but the pervert he’d always wanted to call out, yet never dared to say it to his face!

On Su Han’s body, how big was the gap between Fifth Grade and Sixth Grade?

Lian Yuze was truly incredibly expectant...

"Then let me congratulate Sect Master in advance, hahaha!" Lian Yuze cupped his fists and laughed loudly.

Su Han’s figure flashed as he shot out of the valley and appeared in front of Lian Yuze.

He stared at Lian Yuze for quite a while, then couldn’t help but laugh. "I’m guessing you didn’t come specifically to congratulate me, did you? Ran into some big trouble?"

At these words, Lian Yuze’s face instantly turned into a bitter gourd.

"Sect Master, you went into seclusion half a year ago. I’m guessing you don’t know what’s been happening outside, right?"

"Cut the nonsense, get to the point." Su Han glared at him.

"Ahem..."

Lian Yuze coughed lightly a few times, cleared his throat, and then said, "During this half-year, throughout the entire Lower-Class Star Region, each wave of the Extraterritorial Demons’ attacks has been fiercer than the last."

"Over in the High-Grade Planet Region, four Eighth Level Extraterritorial Demons have appeared, Seventh Level has already reached around fifteen, and as for Sixth Level and below, there are so many they’re practically uncountable."

"Bright Moon Tai Emperor and the Destruction Empress appeared again, suppressing those four Eighth Level Extraterritorial Demons. In the end, the Seven-Colored Saint of Law emerged, and with the power of a Forbidden Curse, severed both legs of one Extraterritorial Demon and severely wounded another. Only then were they forced to temporarily retreat."

"Seven-Colored Saint of Law?" Su Han’s eyes lit up.

"Hehe..."

Lian Yuze blinked. "Sect Master, guess who this Seven-Colored Saint of Law is?"

"Could it be..."

"It’s her!"

Before Su Han could finish, Lian Yuze cut in impatiently, "It’s our girl Xiang’er!!!"

"So it really was her..."

Su Han muttered a couple of times, the smile at the corner of his lips growing wider and wider.

"That little lass really did inherit her father’s mantle. It hasn’t even been that long, and she’s already surpassed the Heavenly Emperor Realm experts. If I’m not wrong, right now she’s probably able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Sub-Immortal Level experts."

Sub-Immortal Level was already the Peak Su Han could guess at.

Because if Xiang’er’s Magic Cultivation could already rival the Immortal Realm, then merely severely injuring those two Eighth Level Extraterritorial Demons would be way too simple.

With Cultivation like that, she wouldn’t even need to use a Forbidden Curse to achieve Instant Kill.

Even so, Su Han was already utterly astonished.

From the time he rescued Xiang’er till now, Xiang’er’s Cultivation time could be said to be even shorter than his.

And he had the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son—Xiang’er didn’t.

Yet Xiang’er was already standing at the very Peak of the Lower-Class Star Region, whereas he himself here...

"People keep calling me a Freak, a pervert. If they found out about Xiang’er’s terrifying Cultivation speed, I’m afraid they’d stop describing me like that."

Su Han let out a wry smile, feeling genuinely happy for Xiang’er in his heart.

"Sect Master, let’s put Xiang’er’s matter aside for now. You have to go out and take charge of the situation!"

Seeing Su Han sink into thought, Lian Yuze couldn’t help but say, "You don’t know—ever since you went into seclusion until now, in just this short half year, more than a hundred forces have arrived outside, and Loose Cultivators are beyond counting. The total number of people definitely exceeds ten million!"

"We tried to demand Spirit Crystals from them, but they refused. They’ve been yelling and shouting outside, saying they’re going to wipe out my Phoenix Sect. Your subordinate’s head is splitting from the pain. If you still didn’t come out of seclusion, I was going to be driven to death by that group of bastards!"
