Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 338: Chapter 336: Phoenix Sect, Three Great Legions!

In the past six months, all the cultivators of the Starry Divine Guard Corps had breakthroughs, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Starry Divine Guard Captain Shangguan Mingxin successfully condensed her Golden Core, achieving the Golden Core Stage!

One could say that during these six months, everything went smoothly. There were no crises, but they had ample cultivation resources. Had they not made breakthroughs, they could hardly be called Divine Guards.

Even the ordinary disciples each had their own breakthroughs.

Later, Su Han selected some disciples and also recruited others, expanding the Five Divine Guard Corps to a total of two thousand members!

The number of ordinary disciples in the Phoenix Sect had reached a staggering fifty thousand!

...

One could say that at this moment, the strength of the Phoenix Sect had undergone a qualitative improvement and experienced a massive increase in numbers.

This was still under the circumstances where Su Han had restricted the number of people.

After the Phoenix Sect staunchly resisted the Super Sect without compromise, even facing death, and after Su Han personally exterminated three sects, and also unleashed his mighty power to resurrect the disciples of the Phoenix Sect, the entire Yunyang County City had come to recognize the Phoenix Sect as the leader.

Even the Cold Cloud Sect, which had already been promoted to an Eighth-Rank Sect, did not have as high a reputation as the Phoenix Sect.

And everyone understood that even in terms of strength, the Cold Cloud Sect was still much inferior to the Phoenix Sect.

When the Phoenix Sect was reopened to recruit disciples, the tremendous number of people who showed up truly brought to life the phrase “overcrowded.”

According to investigations by the Myriad Treasures Pavilion that day, eighty percent of the population within Yunyang County City had surged into Yuanshan County.

Even disciples from other sects had left their sects, wishing to join the Phoenix Sect.

But Su Han did not want such disciples.

Perhaps they were attracted by the Phoenix Sect’s power or its solidarity, or perhaps they were impressed by Su Han’s ability to resurrect deceased disciples, thus wanting to join the Phoenix Sect.

Nevertheless, Su Han always felt that if they could leave their previous sect, they could also leave the Phoenix Sect someday.

Such people, Su Han absolutely did not want.

Compared to just Yuanshan County, those with magic talents and immortal cultivation talents might be rare, but when considering the entire Yunyang County City, such individuals were plentiful.

From the moment he was reborn here, Su Han had always lamented that the Dragon Martial Continent buried talents, the magic elements were so rich, and there were so many people with magical talents, yet not a single one was able to utilize them effectively.

As of today, the total number of people in the Phoenix Sect had reached an impressive sixty thousand!

Two thousand in each of the Five Divine Guard Corps, and fifty thousand ordinary disciples.

…

One day, numerous figures emerged from the Phoenix Sect, led by Su Han himself.

Following him were the captains of the Five Divine Guard Corps, the First Elder Lian Yuze, and the Purple Demon King Shen Li, all accompanying him.

“Sect Master Su, we wish to join the God-Slaying Pavilion and serve the Phoenix Sect!”

“Sect Master Su, we have been waiting here for three days, unable to eat or drink, just to join the Phoenix Sect!”

“Sect Master Su, please show us leniency and don’t let us down!”

Outside the Phoenix Sect residence, countless figures stood there. As soon as they saw Su Han and the others appear, they immediately began to shout.

Even though Su Han had announced half a month ago that the Phoenix Sect would no longer accept disciples, they still hadn’t left.

Witnessing this scene, Su Han was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.

He had not anticipated that so many people would want to join the Phoenix Sect, especially since it was rumored that the Phoenix Sect had offended a Super Sect, and the previous ‘God-Slaying Pavilion’ had nearly been annihilated by those Super Sects!

“Everyone,”

with a slight smile, Su Han waved his hand and said, “You are all from Yunyang County City. I once said I owed you a favor, and these three days, you will not have waited in vain.”

Upon hearing these words, those people’s eyes immediately lit up, quietly waiting for what was to come.

“From today forth, the Phoenix Sect will establish a sub-sect and accept thirty thousand disciples, prioritizing those with Magic Talent and Immortal Cultivation Talent, but those with powerful Martial Talent will also be considered,” Su Han said.

“Really?”

The densely packed crowd instantly became excited.

They were all aware of the strength of the Five Divine Guard Corps, with the Purple Night Divine Guard and the Bright Moon Divine Guard consisting entirely of mages, and the Starry Divine Guard too, all immortal cultivators, who could ride flying swords through the void without reaching the Dragon God Realm—an exceptional existence!

This was also one of their most important reasons for wanting to join the Phoenix Sect!

“Yes.”

Su Han smiled and nodded, then continued, “Su Yunming, as the sect master of the Phoenix Sect’s sub-sect, there are two deputy sect masters, currently still vacant. As for the positions below, all will be selected by Su Yunming.”

As his voice fell, Su Han flipped his palm, revealing a Ninth-Rate Sect’s sect order.

He had far too many of these sect orders. Just the Eighth-Rate Sects he had annihilated alone totaled three, not to mention the one he obtained from destroying the Blood Demon Sect, and just from the Flowing Snow Sect, Awe-Inspiring Sect, and Seven Swords Palace, he had already gathered a full five Ninth-Rate Sect orders.

“Su Yunming, heed my command!” Su Han suddenly said.

Su Yunming immediately stepped forward.

“From this day, you are the sect master of the sub-sect of our Phoenix Sect, and about the name of this sub-sect… Let it be called First Phoenix Sect,” said Su Han.

“Yes.”

Su Yunming nodded and then took the sect order in his hand.

“First Phoenix Sect is just the first sub-sect of our Phoenix Sect; there will also be Second Phoenix Sect, Third Phoenix Sect, and so on,” Su Han added. “In the sub-sect, there are no Divine Guard Regiments, only three Army Corps. The First Army will be named Phoenix Army, the Second Army will be named Destruction Army, and the Third Army will be named Iron Blood Army! Each army will initially recruit a thousand members, prioritizing those with the strongest cultivation bases. Hereafter, each month, the last hundred will be eliminated and the three armies revitalized.”

As Su Han’s voice fell, the surrounding crowd, though not yet members of the First Phoenix Sect, showed deep excitement, feeling their blood boil.

Phoenix Army, Destruction Army, Iron Blood Army!

Each of these three armies sounded so imposing; joining any of them would surely place one above the others. Just from the standpoint of vanity, it would greatly satisfy their pride.

And Su Han, knowing exactly about this vanity, was why he was promoting a monthly competition to eliminate the last hundred and revitalize the three armies.

In this way, the status of the three armies would always remain at the core, and no talented powerhouse would slip through the cracks.

Everyone understood that the treatment of the three armies compared to ordinary disciples was definitely different, so they would definitely exert their full efforts to cultivate and strive to join one of the three big armies.

This was fair competition!
