Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

As time passes—

Outside, one year, two years, three years, four years...

Within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, three thousand years, six thousand years, nine thousand years, twelve thousand years...

The eight Heavenly Emperor Realm experts and over fifty Dao Sovereign Realm experts from the various sects have evidently locked themselves in a true stalemate with the Phoenix Sect.

During these four years, they have never made a single move, all sitting cross-legged with their eyes slightly closed.

All just to wait for the appearance of the Phoenix Sect members, so they could strike and kill!

That day, Su Han forced the Sect Masters, Deputy Sect Masters, and similar figures of the major sects to kneel, an enormous humiliation for them.

This hatred can never be erased; even if they destroy the Phoenix Sect, they won’t forget!

Several figures, whether loose cultivators, members of small forces, or people from some sects, frequently come here to see the commotion.

And every time, they are extremely disappointed.

The Phoenix Sect acts like a turtle hiding in its shell.

Except for that thunderous strike before, capturing many noble juniors, they’ve never shown themselves again.

No one knows that the time flow in the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son is three thousand times that of the outside world.

Nor does anyone know that within this terrifying time flow, the overall strength of the Phoenix Sect is surging at an indescribably horrifying speed.

Take Xin Leng for example.

Many people already know that Xin Leng has joined the Phoenix Sect.

Those who first ridiculed and mocked were the same people among the Top Ten Young Masters, Top Ten Divine Sons, and Top Ten Demon Sons.

In their eyes, with Xin Leng’s aptitude, why choose Phoenix Sect when any other sect would be better?

If he chose the Three Teachings or the Nine Factions, with their guidance, perhaps by now he would have already ascended to become a Fusion Realm Mighty Being like them!

However, what achievements can he have in the Phoenix Sect?

Even if the Phoenix Sect has acquired so many Spirit Crystals, without the guidance of Dao Sovereign Realm or Heavenly Emperor Realm experts, what does Xin Leng’s high aptitude matter?

Many people sigh for Xin Leng, the Sword Dao Divine Child...

...

On this day, a figure finally flickered out from the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

At the moment of its appearance, the eight Heavenly Emperor Realm experts first opened their eyes, their terrifying power of cultivation power activated, transforming into large hands to grab at this person.

"Ah, don’t hit me!"

A scream came from the mouth of the figure, causing the eight Heavenly Emperors to frown.

Immediately, they raised their eyes to look.

And they saw the person who appeared was not someone from the Phoenix Sect, but clearly... the daughter of the Sect Master of the Divine Dream Sect, Du Xi!

"Why haven’t you gone back?"

One of the Heavenly Emperor Realm experts scolded: "Do you not know the current situation of the Phoenix Sect? What if I accidentally hurt you?"

"I can go wherever I want, who are you to control me?" Du Xi snorted.

No Divine Dream Sect experts were here.

However, as the Divine Dream Sect is honored as one of the Nine Factions, and Du Xi is the cherished daughter of Du Tianlin, naturally, these Heavenly Emperor and Dao Sovereign Realm experts wouldn’t move against her.

"I heard you are about to be married to Su Baliu’s son, Su Qing?" The Heavenly Emperor who spoke first asked after withdrawing his attack.

"I don’t know." Du Xi shook her head.

"How can you not know your own affairs?"

The Heavenly Emperor Realm expert frowned slightly, "Miss Du Xi, please take care; the Divine Dream Sect has already promised you to the Young Master of the Immortal Sovereign Pavilion."

"And then?" Du Xi replied impatiently.

"The Young Master may be in seclusion and hasn’t shown himself, but he absolutely will not allow his fiancée to have any contact with other men of ill repute!"

"Please tell Emperor Lord Tianlin that now is not a good time to cause trouble."

"Are you threatening my father?"

Du Xi’s expression turned cold: "You are also at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, is this how you speak? Do you think I won’t have my grandfather come out and cut your tongue with a single blade?"

Hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor’s face twitched slightly, yet he said no more.

He dared to speak ill of Du Tianlin behind his back, but he absolutely did not dare to speak against the One Blade of the Divine Dream!

"Move aside, don’t block my way!"

Du Xi snorted proudly and quickly weaved her way through these people.

...

In the city where the Divine Dream Sect is located.

Du Tianlin frowned deeply: "What a heavy accusation, the Immortal Sovereign Pavilion makes accusations so readily!"

"Father, if they want to talk, let them. It doesn’t harm us anyway."

Du Xi sat not far away, munching on rare fruits and mumbling.

Du Tianlin glanced at her, sighed slightly, but said nothing more.

However, Deng Qian said: "Xi’er, you still don’t understand your father. The Phoenix Sect is currently at a critical point where countless forces wish to destroy it. Even the Three Teachings have dispatched Heavenly Emperor Realm experts, who are staying at the Phoenix Sect’s hiding place. Even the Holy Pill Emperor, such a Heavenly Emperor is without a voice there."

"In my opinion..."

"You’d best not say you intend to marry Su Qing now, as that would also bring trouble to the Divine Dream Sect."

Du Xi retorted: "With my grandfather around, what are we afraid of?"

"Your grandfather is strong, but he is ultimately just one person."

Deng Qian shook her head: "Xi’er, be sensible, don’t let your father worry about you, alright?"

"Hehe!"

Du Xi smiled, bouncing over to Du Tianlin’s side, "Father, have some fruit!"

"Not eating!" Du Tianlin responded irritably.

"Suit yourself!"

Du Xi snorted and continued: "Actually, I came back this time on the instructions of the Phoenix Sect’s Deputy Sect Master."

"Hmm?"

Du Tianlin looked puzzled: "Why?"

"He wanted me to ask if you all were willing to ally with the Phoenix Sect," Du Xi said.

"Ally?"

Du Tianlin’s brow furrowed: "Xi’er, to be honest, the reason you are to marry Su Qing is because you insisted on it, and I couldn’t compel you otherwise."

"But this matter of alliance, is it really as easy as they claim?"

"The Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, how powerful they are, does the Phoenix Sect intend to drag the Divine Dream Sect into troubled waters under the pretext of your marriage to Su Qing?!"

Saying this, anger appeared on Du Tianlin’s face.

Deng Qian also frowned and stood silently by the side.

"Father, you still look down on the Phoenix Sect!" Du Xi said.

"That’s not a question of looking up or down!"

Du Tianlin waved his sleeve: "Since ancient times, any alliance has been for personal gain, and, like this marriage, it adheres to the principles of matching status."

"The Phoenix Sect is so weak. For the Divine Dream Sect to ally with them, wouldn’t that be courting death?"
