Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 439: Chapter 437: Shelter

With the temporary block from the Eastern Ancestor, Duan Yunshan had managed to suppress his aura. Although he was still at the Peak of the Dragon God Realm and had fallen a Realm, at least he wouldn’t fall again.

Of course, this fall was merely temporary—he would return to the Pseudo-Emperor Realm once his injuries healed.

As Duan Yunshan roared, a white fog emerged around him that spun and tumbled, eventually forming silver-white armor that was extremely bright and eye-catching.

This was none other than Duan Yunshan’s Holy Spirit-Level Defensive Equipment!

He had no time nor opportunity to use it before, but now, with the Eastern Ancestor delaying Su Han for a moment, he had managed to don it.

“You’re seeking death!”

Su Han’s voice was ice-cold, his expression slightly gloomy.

But Duan Yunshan, as if he hadn’t heard, relentlessly charged at Su Han.

The Eastern Ancestor frowned slightly and, in the next moment, the horsetail whisk stretched out again, coiling around Duan Yunshan and forcibly pulling him back.

“Eastern Ancestor, what are you doing!”

Furious, Duan Yunshan confronted the Eastern Ancestor: “I acknowledged the palm strike you gave me for my broken promise before, but this man, he killed so many disciples of the Jade Void Palace and even attacked me directly. Why do you stop me again!”

“This man dared to move against the disciples of our Super Sect, he deserves death,” Yuy Qi also said with an icy tone.

Similarly, Liushui Kuanghan and Duanmu Lin, although silent, expressed their thoughts at this moment through the killing intent and coldness that burst forth from them.

Jin Lan was no different!

“Merely relying on those disciples’ words, without having seen it with my own eyes, this matter might not be true.”

The Eastern Ancestor shook his head slightly, then looked toward Su Han: “Are you a Loose Cultivator?”

“Yes,” Su Han nodded.

He was nothing of the sort—clearly a Sect Master—but he knew that the Eastern Ancestor had his reasons for asking.

“Since you’re a Loose Cultivator, then you are under my lineage. If I don’t let them move against you, they cannot,” the Eastern Ancestor stated calmly.

Upon hearing this, Duan Yunshan, Liushui Kuanghan, and the others all darkened in expression.

They had figured out that the Eastern Ancestor intended to protect this man.

All the disciples claimed to have seen this man slaughtering the disciples of sects like the Jade Void Palace and Giant Island, yet the Eastern Ancestor still made clever excuses for Su Han. Wasn’t this blatant bias?

“I also find this matter suspicious,” said Nihility Abyss as his gaze shifted to the disciple of the One Slash Palace that had spoken earlier. “Did you really witness this man killing the disciples of the Jade Void Palace and other Super Sects?”

The disciple was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook his head: “Please forgive me, Elder. I spoke out of turn in my excitement at having survived. In truth, those sects’ disciples were killed by Demon Beasts, which I saw with my own eyes!”

“Junior Brother Liu is right; we too have seen it before. This senior has never laid a hand on any sect’s disciple!”

“Such a handsome senior with such formidable cultivation would not be so bloodthirsty, right?”

“With the senior’s cultivation base, he would hardly deign to act against us disciples with such modest powers.”

The other disciples from the One Slash Palace also spoke up at this moment and all of them cast deep glances at Su Han afterwards.

“You’re talking nonsense!”

Fury boiling within him, Duan Yunshan pointed at the disciple from the One Slash Palace: “Earlier, you adamantly claimed that it was this man who killed our Jade Void Palace’s disciples, and now you deny it? I should smash you with one palm!”

“You dare!”

Nihility Abyss’s expression turned cold as he snorted, “Duan Yunshan, although we are both at the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, if I wished to kill you, it would take no more effort than blowing away dust. Do you believe me?”

Duan Yunshan’s teeth were almost crushed. Although he had never witnessed Nihility Abyss’s true strength, the reputation of One Slash Palace was well known.

They usually kept a low profile, but it took them a mere seventy years to rise to the status of a Super Sect, even eliminating another Super Sect during their ascension. Such power, if placed in any other Sect, would be unthinkable!

Even the so-called Jade Void Palace that hailed from beyond the heavens, or the Sect of the Battle God which had once produced the strongest warrior of the Dragon Martial Continent, could not achieve this feat!

It was rumored that the disciples of Giant Island, once they unleashed their Giant Spirit Bodies, were invincible among those of the same level.

But that was merely a rumor. No Super Sect was to be trifled with, and even Giant Island did not wish to make an enemy of One Slash Palace.

Because One Slash Palace was filled with madmen, with lunatics!

Even when facing a mere ant, they would go all out, leaving no chance for their adversary.

One slash, and if the opponent were not dead, they themselves would certainly perish!

Duan Yunshan did not counter Nihility Abyss’s words, which already proved that he held great wariness towards Nihility Abyss in his heart.

“If you can find another disciple who admits to the murder, there will still be time to make a move later,” Nihility Abyss added.

With the protection of Nihility Abyss and the Eastern Ancestor, although Duan Yunshan, Yuy Qi, and others were burning with rage, they could only suppress it.

They were all at the Pseudo-Emperor Realm. Leaving Nihility Abyss aside, a single person might not kill him, but two working together could certainly suppress him.

But where was the Eastern Ancestor…

His strength had already been fully confirmed at the entrance to the Mountain of the Divine Medicine. Also at the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, but Duan Yunshan was no more than an ant in his presence.

Moreover, there was the true form of the Eastern Ancestor who had been in seclusion for a full ten thousand years; no matter how daring they were, they would not dare to attack this avatar of the Eastern Ancestor.

The elderly figure from the Divine Transformation Pavilion kept his gaze fixed on Su Han.

After a long silence, he finally could not help himself and cupped his fist to ask, “Who exactly are you? What connection do you have with our Divine Transformation Pavilion?”

Standing by his side was Wen Ling, and the many disciples of the Divine Transformation Pavilion had also gathered around, sustained by his gentle power, standing in the Void.

Obviously, after entering the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, the old man had intentionally expanded his Divine Sense to locate all the disciples of the Divine Transformation Pavilion and brought them to his side.

Wen Ling, even now, still couldn’t remember what had happened before that cave.

Su Han glanced at the old man and said lightly, “I once secluded myself outside the Mountain of the Divine Medicine. The Divine Master of your Divine Transformation Pavilion said specifically, if I were to encounter any of his sect’s disciples, I should not kill them if possible.”

Upon hearing these words, the old man was startled, and so was everyone else.

Even the Eastern Ancestor’s pupils constricted sharply at that moment, seemingly unable to believe it.

From Su Han’s words, it was certain that he was the ‘senior’ that the Divine Master of the Divine Transformation Pavilion had referred to, who was in seclusion outside the Mountain of the Divine Medicine.

If it was him, it would mean that this person did not enter the Mountain of the Divine Medicine until after the Sect Grand Competition had begun.

But…

How did he get in?

The Eastern Ancestor had already sealed the entrance to the Mountain of the Divine Medicine. Even if we disregard the seal, was this person able to enter the Mountain of the Divine Medicine right before the eyes of so many people, without anyone noticing?
