Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

"Since Sect Master Su is being straightforward, I won’t beat around the bush either."

Venerable Kunxu did not hesitate and said, "I am here today on behalf of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects to discuss a matter with Sect Master Su."

"Oh?"

Su Han’s lips curled up with interest.

"Have the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects finally acknowledged my Phoenix Sect? Whatever they plan to do, they should just do it, why bother discussing it with my Phoenix Sect?"

"There’s no need for Sect Master Su to be like this, the Phoenix Sect is now quite renowned, possessing formidable strength, exceeding everyone’s expectations. In terms of the number of powerful individuals, you can even surpass the Nine Schools, let alone the Seventy-Two Sects."

Venerable Kunxu shook his head with a smile and continued, "Now on this vast land, all the Grand Powers of the Lower-Class Star Region have gathered. With the majesty of the Phoenix Sect, you can fully compare with the Three Teachings. How could they dare to ignore the Phoenix Sect?"

"I find that hard to believe."

Su Han curled his lips, "In their eyes, the Phoenix Sect is still the same as it was over a decade ago, a mere ant that they can crush at will."

"Indeed, over a decade, just over a decade..."

Venerable Kunxu gave Su Han a deep look, "In such a short time, for the Phoenix Sect to reach the heights it has now, it is truly terrifying!"

Su Han remained silent, waiting for Venerable Kunxu to continue.

"I assume Sect Master Su is already aware that the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects have each dispatched their strong individuals and disciples to battle outside, slaying the Extraterritorial Demons in order to maintain peace on this vast continent."

Venerable Kunxu pursed his lips and said, "The matter I am here to discuss today is exactly this."

"Go on," Su Han said with a smile.

"In the view of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, since the Phoenix Sect is a member of this vast continent, it should also send strong individuals and disciples to battle alongside them. Even those Loose Cultivators have been fighting the Extraterritorial Demons all along. Watching the Phoenix Sect enjoy life, they could hardly be content." Venerable Kunxu stated.

His words were ambiguous, not leaning towards anyone specifically, directly expressing the thoughts of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects without arousing Su Han’s displeasure.

"Extraterritorial Demons, my Phoenix Sect must kill them. After all, those Blood Crystals are extremely useful to Phoenix Sect Disciples."

Su Han said, "However... since we are going to dispatch strong individuals and disciples, it must be done at a specific level. I don’t know which Sect among the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects they think the current Phoenix Sect should be on par with? Is it the Three Teachings? Or the Nine Schools? Or perhaps the Seventy-Two Sects?"

"Well..."

Venerable Kunxu looked at Su Han with hesitation, "They believe that the Phoenix Sect should send an equal number of strong individuals and disciples as the Three Teachings."

"The Three Teachings? Hahahaha..."

Su Han suddenly burst into laughter, "Do they really think the Phoenix Sect can already be compared with the Three Teachings? Or do they... think my Phoenix Sect is foolish, with low intelligence?"

Venerable Kunxu said nothing.

Clearly, the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects are eager for the Phoenix Sect to be entirely dispatched and perish at the hands of the Extraterritorial Demons!

However, such unrealistic thoughts, they obviously wouldn’t act upon.

Thus, they would do their best to have the Phoenix Sect send many strong individuals and disciples to have their power depleted by the Extraterritorial Demons!

"Ahem..."

Venerable Kunxu, fearing a fallout with the Phoenix Sect, lightly coughed and said, "Sect Master Su, I must first clarify that this is the idea of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects and has nothing to do with my Kunlun Palace."

"I understand." Su Han nodded.

Venerable Kunxu’s presence here today clearly benefited those forces, but ultimately, it really had little to do with Kunlun Palace.

"What I have expressed is merely the viewpoint of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects. Whether you agree or not is entirely up to Sect Master Su." Venerable Kunxu continued.

"If I agree, what then? If I disagree, what then?" Su Han narrowed his eyes.

"That is up to Sect Master Su to decide."

Venerable Kunxu stood up, cupped his fists, and said, "I have said what needed to be said, I will not linger here any longer, farewell."

"Safe travels." Su Han nodded.

After the people from Kunlun Palace left, Su Han couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

"Sect Master."

Lian Yuze stood up and said, "Could those bastards have already planned to lure us out and, waiting for the moment our Phoenix Sect disciples show themselves, simply ambush us?"

"They won’t."

Su Han shook his head decisively, "At least, they won’t do such a thing for now."

Lian Yuze pursed his lips, realizing the same point.

The people of the Phoenix Sect are not fools, and Su Han is particularly shrewd.

If the Phoenix Sect could be so easily lured out for an ambush, it wouldn’t have survived until now.

"If they have no conspiracies, I would actually look down on them."

Lian Yuze sneered, "On the surface, unable to do anything to our Phoenix Sect, they resort to such petty tricks? Trying to exhaust my Phoenix Sect’s battle power with the Extraterritorial Demons?"

"That is all they can do at present."

Su Han waved his hand, "No need to overthink, the Phoenix Sect is not a pliable persimmon for anyone to knead, we are more than capable of protecting ourselves."

"Additionally, the Extraterritorial Demons, we must kill them. After all, their Blood Crystals are extremely valuable to us, not only enhancing physical combat power but also significantly increasing lifespan."

"Since they want the Phoenix Sect to make a move, then let’s fulfill their wish."

"Immediately instruct them, tomorrow the Phoenix Sect will take the initiative, led by Shen Li, accompanied by ten Dao Sovereign Realm, a hundred Fusion Realm, and a thousand Divine Sea Realm masters, leading a million disciples to the edge of the vast continent to kill Extraterritorial Demons for ten days."

"Yes." Lian Yuze nodded.

Such a force is already very strong to other powers.

But to the Phoenix Sect, it’s merely a drop in the ocean.

The true intentions of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects remain unclear to Su Han, nor did he intend to ponder too much.

However, regardless of their scheming, Su Han feared nothing!

With the Destruction Empress and Xiang’er present, the Phoenix Sect remains safe!

...

Outside Phoenix City.

Venerable Kunxu walked with a furrowed brow, his steps slightly hurried.

"Kunxu, what’s the matter—" another Heavenly Emperor Realm individual couldn’t help but ask.

"Haven’t you felt it?" Kunxu responded.

The Heavenly Emperor Realm individual was taken aback, showing confusion, "Felt what?"

"Lifespan."

Venerable Kunxu took a deep breath and said, "Only staying in the Phoenix Sect for half a day, and yet, my lifespan has decreased by four years!"

"What?!"

The Heavenly Emperor Realm individual froze in place, the other three persons also widened their eyes.

Four years of lifespan, to them, is truly negligible.

At this moment, they carefully sensed their lifespans, only to discover...

It was indeed true!!!
