Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 358 - 356: The Path of Revenge

Chapter 358: Chapter 356: The Path of Revenge

On the next day’s early morning, Su Han, from inside his room, arrived at the great hall.

Before long, a figure approached. It was the Purple Demon King, Shen Li.

“Sit,” Su Han gestured with a wave of his hand.

“Yes.”

Shen Li clasped his fist and then walked over to a seat and sat down.

“May I ask why the Sect Master has summoned me here?” Shen Li inquired.

Su Han pondered for a moment, then with a sweep of his hand, a stream of light shot towards Shen Li.

Shen Li caught it, and with a slight concentration in his eyes, he exclaimed in shock, “The Xumi Ring of the Holy Son?!”

“For the time being, keep this item safe for me.”

“Although only a Mage can deploy it, I’ve left my Magic Elements on it, which will allow you to activate it three times,” said Su Han.

“This…”

Shen Li hesitated for a moment and then looked at Su Han, “Does this mean the Sect Master plans to leave the Phoenix Sect for some time?”

“Correct.”

Su Han nodded slightly, a cold light shining in his eyes, “Those Super Sects almost wiped out our Phoenix Sect, and they killed most of the disciples within the Sect, including the Deputy Pavilion Master and the captains of the Divine Guard Regiment. They’ve all died once. This grudge, I must settle.”

“Does the Sect Master intend to trouble the Super Sects?”

Shen Li leaped to his feet in fright and hastily said, “I urge the Sect Master to consider this thrice. The Super Sects have stood on the Dragon Martial Continent for many years, each possessing extremely terrifying roots and strength. With the Sect Master’s current Cultivation Base, and no offense meant, it’s that I feel it’s truly difficult to contend with those Super Sects.”

“I understand what you mean.”

Said Su Han, “However, since I dare to do it, I naturally have my own considerations. You can rest assured.”

Shen Li fell silent. He naturally understood Su Han’s character; anything he dared to do was surely backed by his own confidence.

But at the thought of the words “Super Sect,” Shen Li felt Su Han’s plan seemed somewhat ludicrous.

Truthfully, at the moment, the Phoenix Sect was nothing more than an Eighth-Rate Sect, and although Shen Li was not clear on Su Han’s exact Cultivation Base, he didn’t believe it could surpass those powerful figures in the Super Sects. Otherwise, he likely wouldn’t have waited until today and would have gone straight to trouble the Super Sects upon his initial return.

“Has the Sect Master made a breakthrough during this time?” Shen Li still felt uneasy, so he asked directly.

“No,” Su Han shook his head.

Shen Li clasped his hands tightly and bowed deeply to Su Han, “Sect Master, I truly hope you will think this over. The entire Phoenix Sect relies on you as their pillar of spirit. You are the soul of the Phoenix Sect. If anything were to befall you, the hearts of everyone in the Sect would scatter, and I couldn’t bear their grievances!”

“Rest assured, as I said, since I have made such plans, I have certainly made all the necessary preparations.”

Said Su Han, “Within our Sect residence, I have already reformed a Grand Formation. Its name is the ‘Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation.’ Once I depart, you should activate this Formation. The Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation does not possess any Attack Power, but it has an extremely strong defensive power. At least those in the Dragon Emperor Realm Early Stage would not be able to shatter it. Moreover, this Formation mainly creates illusions. Even Mid-Stage Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouses who enter will become lost within it, and by the time they find their way out, I will have already returned.”

“What concerns me is not the safety of the Phoenix Sect, but your safety, Sect Master!”

Shen Li pleaded urgently, “This is clearly an attempt to provoke the Super Sects. If any of the Dragon Emperor powerhouses among them make a move, whether you can return or not is another matter! Although our Phoenix Sect has an irreconcilable enmity with those Super Sects, haven’t you always taught us to learn to bide our time? We are nowhere near a match for those Super Sects right now. Going there blindly… I really can’t be at ease!”

“I have my plans, you just need to take over the role of Sect Master in my absence and fulfill the duties that come with it, understood?” Su Han’s brow furrowed lightly.

Seeing Su Han’s expression, Shen Li sighed inwardly, knowing that his attempts to dissuade would be futile, and immediately responded, “Yes.”

“And there’s this.”

Su Han waved his hand and tossed a crystal stone to Shen Li.

“I have one of these crystal stones as well. When it shatters, you must immediately gather all members of the Phoenix Sect into the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, without any delay, understand?”

“If this crystal stone shatters, does that mean… the Sect Master is in danger?” Shen Li asked.

“No.”

Su Han shook his head, “If it truly shatters, it will definitely be because I crushed it myself, which also means that I have offended a Super Sect. As for danger… huh, with my current Cultivation Base, it won’t be so easy for those Super Sects to kill me.”

“That’s a relief,” Shen Li breathed out.

Indeed, what Shen Li said was not wrong. If Su Han crushed the crystal stone, it would mean he had offended those Super Sects.

If it were simply a matter of offending them, Su Han would not crush the crystal stone. But if the Super Sects became enraged at Phoenix Sect because of this, or if they sent powerful individuals after Su Han, he would crush the stone.

After giving these instructions, Shen Li withdrew.

Alone in the great hall, Su Han seemed to be contemplating.

…

In the afternoon, a streak of light burst from within the Phoenix Sect and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.

This streak of light was Su Han.

“Hum~”

After Su Han’s departure, the Sect Protection Array of the Phoenix Sect, also referred to by Su Han as the ‘Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation’, was immediately activated by Shen Li.

Surging clouds converged from the Void, eventually forming nine masses that shrouded the entire Phoenix Sect.

Looking from the Sect Residence of the Phoenix Sect outward, one could see everything clearly. It was very simple for those of the Phoenix Sect to leave, no different from before the Grand Formation was activated.

But from outside, looking towards the Phoenix Sect, all one could see was a blurry scene. Anyone who came could only roughly remember the location of the Sect Residence. To enter, they must pass through the Nine Clouds Immortal Illusion Formation without Shen Li’s permission.

This Formation was an Illusion Array, which Su Han, in his past life, had once set up at the Sect Residence of the God-Slaying Pavilion.

With the Cultivation Base of Su Han’s former life, combined with the formidable strength of the Array, no one could enter without his permission.

The setting sun dipped below the horizon, bathing the sky in a red glow.

Shen Li stood on the city wall of the Sect Residence, hands clasped behind his back, calmly gazing into the distance, and muttered, “I hope you return safely from this journey…”

At that moment, inside the Phoenix Sect, all the disciples remained unaware that Su Han had embarked on a path of vengeance for them; they continued their Cultivation and closed-door training as usual.

A moment later, Shen Li leaped down from the city wall, gathered all disciples again, and re-entered the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

The space within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son accelerated time by two-fold, an incredibly heaven-defying feature. Had it not been for the Phoenix Sect’s advancement, Su Han would not have allowed them to come out.
