Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: The Army Approaches (Eighth Update!)

From beginning to end, the white-clothed figure did not utter a single word.

Upon arrival, with three consecutive swings of his sword, he beheaded three men.

After that, all it took was a wave of his hand, and over a hundred Sect of True Martial Arts disciples mysteriously died.

Even as he left, it seemed the Sect of True Martial Arts had never noticed his presence.

“So it was the God-Slaying Pavilion…”

“Is this what a God-Slaying Pavilion disciple is like? Merely at the Dragon Vein Realm, yet he possesses such strength?”

“To obliterate those at the Dragon Blood Realm, it’s just like slaughtering chickens and butchering dogs!”

“To kill those in the Dragon Blood Realm is so simple, let alone us in the Dragon Vein Realm.”

After the white-clothed figure had completely departed, these people finally let out a deep sigh of relief.

The three words “God-Slaying Pavilion” were shrouded in a mystical veil in their hearts.

…

Three days passed.

Yunyang County City was completely abuzz!

In the streets and alleys, everyone was spreading a story, or rather, discussing a person.

And this person was that white-clothed figure.

Because after heading to the Sect of True Martial Arts and killing over a hundred disciples, he successively visited several other sects.

Qiming Sect, Huihai Sect, Hermit Hall…

These sects all shared one common feature; they were subordinate to the Sect of True Martial Arts!

After the Sect of True Martial Arts made their move, these sects also began to show their fangs. Naturally, the people of Yunyang County City knew that these sects were under the domain of the Sect of True Martial Arts. Lacking the talent to join the Sect of True Martial Arts, they settled for the next best thing and aimed to join these Ninth-Rate Sects.

It was when they stood before these sects, ready to queue up and join, that the white-clothed figure appeared.

Without saying a word, only killing.

After the killings, just as at the Sect of True Martial Arts, he left behind a large flag.

On the flag, three glittering golden characters fluttered—God-Slaying Pavilion!

…

“Is the God-Slaying Pavilion making its move?”

“This isn’t a wise choice. No matter how strong the God-Slaying Pavilion is, it’s still only a Ninth-Rate Sect. Not to mention fighting the Sect of True Martial Arts, just the Ninth-Rate Sects under its control could be enough to destroy the God-Slaying Pavilion.”

“Doesn’t the God-Slaying Pavilion have the Cold Cloud Sect behind it?”

“Hmph, can the Cold Cloud Sect compare to the Sect of True Martial Arts? How many years has the Sect of True Martial Arts been an Eighth-Rank Sect? How long has the Cold Cloud Sect been? In my opinion, the Sect of True Martial Arts’ foundation is about to reach that of a Seventh-Rate Sect. Just waiting for the Sect Master to break through the late stages of the Dragon God Realm, they could advance to a Seventh-Rate Sect!”

“Indeed. Although the Cold Cloud Sect has also risen to an Eighth-Rank Sect, it simply cannot compare to the Sect of True Martial Arts. If the God-Slaying Pavilion goes to war with the Sect of True Martial Arts, it’s uncertain whether the Cold Cloud Sect would even offer help.”

“Yunyang County City is about to see a change of power. Even a mere Ninth-Rate Sect dares to move against the absolute dominion of the Sect of True Martial Arts. I’d wager that the Sect of True Martial Arts’ assault will be just like thunder, and the God-Slaying Pavilion won’t even be able to defend!”

“Just wait and see. Not to mention winning, just managing not to get eliminated, the God-Slaying Pavilion would have reason to be proud.”

Under Yunyang County City, everyone was secretly enjoying the drama.

However, it was clear that they did not think the God-Slaying Pavilion had the strength to oppose the Sect of True Martial Arts because the God-Slaying Pavilion was just too obscure, while the Sect of True Martial Arts was a powerful sect that had been established for hundreds of years.

…

At the God-Slaying Pavilion, within the Sect Residence’s council hall.

“With the Sect Master’s move, he has bolstered our God-Slaying Pavilion’s might. We are in awe!”

The captains of the Five Divine Guard Corps, the First Elder of the God-Slaying Pavilion, and the many high-ranking officials were all standing in the council hall, bending their forms with faces full of intense excitement.

The rage in their hearts, along with the many points of confusion and doubt, all vanished at this moment.

Previously, the Sect of True Martial Arts struck out and massacred tens of thousands at the entrance of the God-Slaying Pavilion. They seethed with anger and had nowhere to vent it, and Su Han’s order to not act rashly only added to their frustration.

Yet unexpectedly, Su Han himself made a move!

Without a word, he killed.

After the killing, he left behind the grand flag of the God-Slaying Pavilion, shocking the world.

Just thinking about that scene made one’s blood boil with excitement.

Truly it was a case of “killing a man every ten steps, not staying the course for a thousand miles, sweeping away all traces once the deed is done, keeping one’s achievements eternally hidden”!

To this moment, no one knew that the white-clad figure who had attacked was actually the Master of the God-Slaying Pavilion.

In their speculation, they thought it was just an ordinary disciple of the God-Slaying Pavilion.

“Now, are you all satisfied?”

Su Han sat in the seat of honor, smiling down at the people below him.

In his previous life, he had been the Master of the God-Slaying Pavilion, the foremost sect in the Holy Domain, and one of the controllers of the Holy Domain, known as the Peerless Holy Lord!

Understanding human nature thoroughly, Su Han naturally knew the wrath of the people of the God-Slaying Pavilion. If they really endured it, they could likely lose their loyalty.

Moreover, even Su Han’s character would not allow such forbearance!

When they heard his words, not a single person below spoke out, but the pleasure on their faces was unmistakable.

“This move against the Sect of True Martial Arts will surely ignite their fury. It won’t be long before a large army bears down upon us.”

Su Han took a deep breath and calmly said, “Are you all prepared for war?”

“Your subordinates are prepared to go through fire and water, to die without hesitation!”

The crowd below shouted passionately.

“Good.”

Su Han nodded slightly, “I’m giving you one month. In this month, strive in your cultivation. No matter how many from the Sect of True Martial Arts come, I will hold them off. After one month, I want you to… take the heads of the Sect of True Martial Arts!”

“Yes!!!”

…

Before long, another half a month had passed.

That day, Yuanshan County was shaken.

Huge groups of figures arrived through the Teleportation Formation from Myriad Treasures Pavilion, most wearing unified attire, either from Qiming Sect or Huihai Sect.

Hermit Hall, Silver Wolf Palace, and others also arrived.

Those guarding the Teleportation Formation from Myriad Treasures Pavilion turned pale upon seeing the murderous aura of these disciples and quickly reported to Yun Qianqian and Chu Ninghai.

“Is it finally time for war?”

Yun Qianqian’s lips tightened slightly, and she sighed, “This Su Han is really quite arrogant. He has no idea of the true strength of the Sect of True Martial Arts. Now, without the Sect itself even needing to arrive, just these Ninth-Rate Sects have already brought maybe a hundred thousand people?”

“A hundred and thirty thousand,” said Chu Ninghai.

“How many people does the God-Slaying Pavilion have now?” Yun Qianqian asked again.

“From the information received, including the disciples taken in recently, there are just over three thousand,” Chu Ninghai answered.

He was the Chief Pavilion Master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in Yuanshan County, but in front of Yun Qianqian, he was like a servant, his face showing nothing but respect.

“Three thousand people against an unceasing force of several hundred thousand…”

Yun Qianqian’s beautiful face showed an expression of exasperation: “An arrogantly overconfident fool. It’s good for him to suffer a bit. After all, with the three opportunities offered by our Myriad Treasures Pavilion, he won’t die. But after this event, he will understand the consequences of his arrogance!”
