Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Looking at those many figures, Su Han was momentarily stunned.

These people do not belong to the Phoenix Sect; Su Han has no authority to command them.

They had obviously already paid the Spirit Crystals to enter the safe area and found a way to survive; so why are they rushing out at this moment?

"Was... I wrong?" Su Han murmured to himself.

His face gradually turned pale.

Previously, all his thoughts at this moment were like a passing screen, constantly coming to mind.

From beginning to end, he was always considering the Phoenix Sect.

If he couldn’t even protect the Phoenix Sect, how could he care about others’ lives?

What righteousness, what morality...

To the former Su Han, those were all nonsense!

He had lived for billions of years, too long and too long, understanding deeply that saying — if one doesn’t think for oneself, the heavens will punish them!

But at this moment, looking at those cultivators who do not belong to the Phoenix Sect and can completely survive in the safe area, rushing out recklessly!

Su Han’s heart still trembled fiercely!

"I am selfish and may be ridiculed by people all over the world, but if not for this, how could the Phoenix Sect survive in such a chaotic era!!!"

Su Han took a deep breath, his emotions gradually stabilizing.

When he looked up again at each person fighting the Extraterritorial Demons, he suddenly realized...

These people did not show any fear on their faces, only joy!

"Maybe, it was I who constrained them..."

Su Han pursed his lips and took a step forward.

"Swish!"

With this step, Su Han’s figure directly rushed out of the Light Barrier.

At the same time, he turned to the disciples guarding the Phoenix Sect and shouted: "Open the Light Barrier, welcome all beings to the sect!"

Upon hearing these words, those disciples were all stunned.

In the next instant, excitement filled their eyes, their bodies trembled, and they opened a huge gap in the Light Barrier.

"Swish!"

Su Han, holding the Ultimate Night of the Divine Blade, struck down directly, creating a vacuum area stretching hundreds of miles ahead.

"This time, our sect does not require your Spirit Crystals, using all our might to ensure your survival!"

"But all of you, remember this —"

"It is not our sect saving you, but the entire Phoenix Sect!"

"You’ve always looked down on the Phoenix Sect, thinking it weak, that it only relies on the safe area, hiding on Phoenix Star, never acting."

"But do you know, my Phoenix Sect originally had tens of billions of disciples, yet now only less than fifty million remain!!!"

"People have emotions, and our sect does too!"

"This path of survival given to you by the Phoenix Sect is paved with the corpses of those tens of billions of disciples!"

"Our sect cannot dictate your future, but if you dare to harm the Phoenix Sect, then from the highest heavens to the depths of the Yellow Spring, our sect will ensure your repayment a hundredfold!!!"

"Boom!!!"

With the end of his words, Su Han’s Cultivation Base unfolded completely, his entire figure charging into the Group of Extraterritorial Demons, enveloped instantly, almost invisible.

And all those who heard these words fell into silent contemplation.

...

Time passed, an hour quickly went by.

"Everyone, retreat immediately, seal off Phoenix Star!"

Su Han, bloodied and embattled, fought his way out of the Group of Extraterritorial Demons, issuing this order.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Countless figures charged towards Phoenix Star.

Many disciples of the Phoenix Sect, including members of the Five Divine Guard Corps and Battle Clan, also began to retreat swiftly.

During this hour of battle, they had slain countless Extraterritorial Demons, yet as far as the eye could see, the outside was still densely packed, seemingly endless.

The mindset of despair no longer surfaced.

Because they were already accustomed to this situation.

Though the retreat was rapid, their numbers were ultimately too many, and some had to hold the rear.

Thus, it lasted for a solid half hour before the Light Barrier of Phoenix Star was completely closed.

"Calculate the loss to the Phoenix Sect this time and meet me in the conference hall!"

With a gloomy face, Su Han dispelled the deep green blood covering his body, heading straight forward.

"Sect Master Su, wait!"

Suddenly, an elder spoke from not far away.

Standing there were those saved by the Phoenix Sect this time.

In terms of number... at least twenty million.

They hadn’t gone to the safe area but had gathered here, seemingly to wait for Su Han’s return.

"Swish!"

The elder flipped his palm, revealing a Storage Ring.

"Sect Master Su, this is most of the wealth I have."

The elder said, "I am in the Fusion Realm but due to various reasons, I do not have that many Spirit Crystals; I hope you will accept these."

"Swish swish swish swish..."

As the elder spoke, many from the crowd behind him all took out Storage Rings.

They did not speak, merely looked at Su Han, but their meaning was clear.

Su Han was greatly shaken, an indescribable emotion rising from his heart.

When deciding to save these people, Su Han was actually extremely unwilling.

He believed that what he required in Spirit Crystals was exactly matched with these cultivators’ Cultivation Base.

Thus, they preferred being killed outside rather than handing over the Spirit Crystals to enter the safe area, which filled Su Han with disdain for them.

Yet at this moment, Su Han suddenly felt that perhaps... he was indeed wrong.

As the elder said, because of various reasons, their Spirit Crystals did not match their Cultivation Base.

They were not greedy; they genuinely did not have that many Spirit Crystals.

Su Han had always believed that everyone misunderstood the Phoenix Sect.

But hadn’t he misunderstood others too?

In this Lower-Class Star Region, though people’s hearts are unpredictable, there are still grateful people.

"Our sect does not want these Spirit Crystals."

Su Han sighed lightly, shaking his head, "Saving you this time isn’t because of the Spirit Crystals. Though our Phoenix Sect needs Spirit Crystals, it hasn’t reached the point of greed."

Upon hearing these words, gratitude erupted in the eyes of the elder and others.

"However, if you have Flame Cloud Stones, then take them out."

Su Han continued, "To be honest, the Phoenix Sect’s safe area mainly relies on Flame Cloud Stones. One more Flame Cloud Stone can increase the safe area by one mile, and in that mile, if a little crowded, at least thousands, or even more, can fit."

"Flame Cloud Stone may be of little use to you, but for those still wandering outside, avoiding the pursuit of Extraterritorial Demons, it is a path home!"
