Chapter 2256 - 2255: Tearing Off All Disguises!
Hearing the words of the Destruction Empress, Nine Serpents paused slightly and asked, "This junior is puzzled. What exactly is the relationship between the Phoenix Sect and the Destruction Empress?"
"Hmm?"
The Destruction Empress’s tone turned cold: "Do I need to explain what the relationship is to you? I am willing to protect the Phoenix Sect; that is my concern. What qualification do you have to question me?"
"This junior dares not!"
Nine Serpents immediately lowered its head and then said, "However... news has already arrived from the Middle-Class Star Region. Although no powerful individuals can descend, they have ordered the Starry Alliance’s branch in the Lower-Class Star Region to protect the Lower-Class Star Region at all costs. That’s why these numerous forces have united and descended on Phoenix Star."
"This junior has once received great kindness from the Empress and truly does not wish to oppose you. I hope the Empress can show mercy."
"What if I don’t?"
The Destruction Empress squinted: "Are you going to use the Starry Alliance to pressure me?"
Nine Serpents fell silent, not speaking another word.
This silence was equivalent to acquiescence.
The Starry Alliance, which suppresses the entire Milky Way Galaxy, has the Sovereign of Yuan Ling. Who dares to contend with it?
Even the Destruction Empress cannot do it!
Everyone knows this, and Su Han naturally knows it too.
He has a deep understanding of the Destruction Empress’s strength, but no matter how strong she is, she can’t surpass the Sovereign of Yuan Ling.
Not to mention the Sovereign of Yuan Ling, even among the three legions under the God-Slaying Pavilion—the Purple Gold Army, the Purple Silver Army, and the Purple Jade Army—there are many strong individuals who can defeat the Destruction Empress!
The Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, the Destruction Empress truly does not take them seriously.
But if the stalemate continues, the Starry Alliance will really take action.
By then, even Xiang’er and the Destruction Empress will not be able to protect the Phoenix Sect.
"Enough."
Upon realizing this, Su Han raised his head and suddenly said, "Nujing, you and Xiang’er, retreat for now."
"Brother, you..."
Xiang’er turned her head, revealing anxiety and reluctance.
But Su Han shook his head, indicating with his eyes that she should not continue speaking.
Xiang’er, helpless, had no choice but to follow Su Han’s order, descending slowly and standing beside Su Han.
As for the Destruction Empress, she pursed her lips and said toward Su Han, "For his sake, I am willing to protect you, even if it means risking my life."
Su Han immediately laughed.
He knew that the ’he’ mentioned by the Destruction Empress referred to the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons.
"I used to wonder why that guy, with so many beauties to choose from, specifically wanted an old witch like you?"
Su Han smiled and said, "Now, I understand."
"You’re still as mouthy as ever." The Destruction Empress snorted coldly.
Su Han didn’t engage in further repartee with her, waving his hand and saying, "Stand down, today’s matter is none of your concern."
"This is what you said yourself; don’t come looking for me if you die!"
The Destruction Empress snorted coldly, raised her foot slightly, and walked to the side.
This action was a message to those numerous forces—
On today’s matter, she would follow Su Han’s words and would no longer interfere!
"Sect Master Su."
Seeing this scene, the old man Nine Serpents also breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Su Han, clasping his fists, and said, "Though I don’t know what relationship you have with Her Majesty the Empress, as the helmsman of the Starry Alliance in the Lower-Class Star Region, this old man must find a way out for the Lower-Class Star Region."
He paused slightly and said, "This old man can make the decision; the method to create a secure area doesn’t need to be taken out. Your Phoenix Sect can also have a place in the secure area, but this is already the bottom line. Numerous forces have already descended, and they cannot turn back. The Extraterritorial Demon is also likely on its way here."
"The lives and deaths of everyone are in your hands, and I hope Sect Master Su can see the bigger picture and understand the overall situation."
Su Han did not respond, staring at the old man for a long time, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
"I get it, I really do!"
"If I, Su Han, still don’t understand your attitude of forced plunder, how am I any different from a fool?!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Nine Serpents frowned.
The other forces also showed cold expressions.
"Damned thing, what do you mean by this?"
"At this point, even the Starry Alliance has stepped forward. Are you still refusing to compromise?"
"Don’t think you can threaten us by intending to destroy that security area. If we wanted to kill you, it would only take an instant. You wouldn’t even have the time to destroy the secure area!"
"You are given face, but you don’t want it. Even the Destruction Empress can’t protect such rubbish as you!"
Voices of curses rang out; clearly, these forces had truly run out of patience.
"Once again."
Su Han said coldly, "To enter the secure area, you must adhere to the rules set by my Phoenix Sect, otherwise, don’t even think about it!"
As the words fell, Su Han turned and walked toward the rear.
"Bastard!"
Wind Bell Battle Sovereign was utterly enraged, snorting coldly, and with a wave of his large hand, he directly reached out to grab Su Han.
The Destruction Empress did not intervene, while Xiang’er seemed to want to protect Su Han, but was stopped by Su Han.
Even the other members of the Phoenix Sect just stood there quietly, showing no intention of helping Su Han.
As for Su Han himself, he didn’t even look, as if completely unaware of Wind Bell Battle Sovereign’s actions.
This scene made Wind Bell Battle Sovereign’s killing intent surge to the heavens.
He made a move just to intimidate, but unexpectedly, those he regarded as ants didn’t even take him seriously.
"Boom!"
The large hand reached out, directly grabbing Su Han’s body.
With a muffled sound, under countless gazes, Su Han’s figure suddenly exploded!
But the explosion caused those people to twitch their eyelids.
Because when Su Han’s body exploded, there was no blood whatsoever. It was clear to the discerning eye that this was not Su Han’s true body!
"Hmm?"
Wind Bell Battle Sovereign uttered a soft noise of surprise.
A Divine Sea Realm junior’s illusion stood there, yet he had no sense of it. What kind of method is this?
"From this moment—"
At this time, Su Han’s voice rang out again.
Yet in the void, Su Han’s figure could not be seen at all.
"The number of people from the Sect of the Supreme Void allowed into the secure area will be reduced by half, and the number of Spirit Crystals required will be increased fivefold!"
"Nonsense!"
Wind Bell Battle Sovereign shouted in a fury, his breath spreading out, transforming into an indescribably large hand, sweeping across the void endlessly.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Endless cracks exploded open, yet Su Han’s figure remained unfound!
What a joke, that Xumi Ring of the Holy Son is the possession of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, a Supreme Treasure on the Divine Item Rankings!
Not to mention him, in the entire Milky Way Galaxy, apart from Yuan Ling, probably no one else can sense it!
