Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 512: Chapter 509 Two Choices

Chu Ninghai suddenly realized that under Su Han’s leadership, the Phoenix Sect had grown increasingly strong. Now, it had reached a terrifying level.

It seemed that as long as the Phoenix Sect made a move, success was certain.

So it was with the Blood Demon Sect, the Sect of True Martial Arts, and the Flowing Snow Sect, as well as the Qilin Daoist Temple.

Even today, merely leading ten thousand ordinary disciples and five hundred members of the Five Divine Guard Corps to the Ruyi Sect, which was the strongest in Dongling Kingdom with over five hundred thousand disciples and filled with powerful cultivators, Chu Ninghai didn’t think Su Han’s claim to eradicate the sect was madness.

The miracles that had occurred to him were too numerous to count. Even when he had killed so many substitute Daoists and Saint Heirs, the prodigies of super sects at the Gate of Deer Chasing, he was still alive and well. Even when his own sect had nearly been destroyed, someone had appeared to help, allowing the God-Slaying Pavilion to escape its first tribulation!

”This person, he’s someone with great fortune!”

Chu Ninghai looked at Su Han’s profile and sighed in his heart, feeling some envy and even a bit of jealousy.

He suddenly thought of himself, also a cultivator of a generation, but with a weak cultivation base. He could only manage a branch of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in Yuanshan County, using his status to make up for the lack in his cultivation.

”The Myriad Treasures Pavilion, they once took action on my behalf,” Su Han suddenly said.

Chu Ninghai was startled, and then asked, ”With Sect Master Su’s current cultivation base, I’m afraid you could even match those at the Peak of the Dragon God Realm. Who could possibly place Sect Master Su in such a dangerous position that you had to ask the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to act?”

”Giant Island, the Seventh Holy Son,” Su Han said.

”The Seventh Holy Son?!”

Chu Ninghai’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

”No wonder...”

”What strength does that Seventh Holy Son possess?” Su Han asked.

”I do not know,” Chu Ninghai shook his head slightly. ”Eight hundred years ago, the Seventh Holy Son of Giant Island, Feng Tianhan, had already begun his retreat to make a breakthrough. Whether he succeeded or not, I do not know, and what his current cultivation base might be, I know even less.”

”After all, I am merely the Branch Pavilion Master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in Yuanshan County. How could I possibly know the cultivation base of such exalted individuals?” Chu Ninghai said with a bitter smile of self-deprecation.

”He hasn’t reached the Dragon Emperor Realm. The one who helped me back then was the Earth Sacrifice of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Falling Dust,” Su Han stated.

”The Earth Sacrifice?!”

Chu Ninghai was shocked again, took a deep breath, and said, ”The lowest cultivation base of an Earth Sacrifice of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion is at the Pseudo-Emperor Realm. Given that Falling Dust and the Seventh Holy Son of Giant Island have been around for a similar amount of time, their strengths must be comparable. However, Falling Dust is among the top ten within the Earth Sacrifices, which speaks volumes about the Seventh Holy Son’s formidable power.”

Su Han nodded slightly, then stopped talking about the matter and looked toward Chu Ninghai.

Being stared at by Su Han, Chu Ninghai felt somewhat uncomfortable.

”Why is Sect Master Su looking at me like this?” Chu Ninghai couldn’t help but ask.

After a moment of silence, Su Han spoke indifferently, ”You once promised me that the benefits from the Teleportation Formation would be distributed evenly, and you, you did not keep your promise.”

Su Han had always remembered this matter, but he had been waiting, waiting for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to fulfill its word on its own.

However, even after so much time had passed, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion still hadn’t delivered a single Spirit Stone to the Phoenix Sect.

”This...”

Chu Ninghai was suddenly put in an awkward position.

He had never imagined that Su Han’s growth would be so fast, nor had he envisioned that the Phoenix Sect’s growth would be this terrifying!

In his mind, the Phoenix Sect was after all a ninth-rate sect, even if it advanced to the eighth-rate, it still remained as insignificant as an ant.

With the increasing use of the Teleportation Formation and the growing number of users, the profits earned by the Myriad Treasures Pavilion also surged.

And every time he thought about these profits having to be split with Su Han, Chu Ninghai felt it was somewhat unfair.

In his heart, first, all the materials needed for the Teleportation Formation were provided by the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, so why should they share the profits with Su Han? Su Han could claim that he didn’t pay any price at all and just possessed a method to establish the Teleportation Formation.

Secondly, although Chu Ninghai was outwardly courteous to Su Han, in reality, someone of his status commanded respect in Yuanshan County. Even the Cold Cloud Sect Master, Ling Qinghai, who established his sect earliest and advanced earliest, had to treat him with great respect; to put it in harsher terms, let alone the Su Han of the past, even Ling Qinghai wouldn’t receive anything from Chu Ninghai if he didn’t wish to give it!

There was no other reason, simply the fact that Chu Ninghai didn’t want to give was sufficient.

It was true that Su Han might consequently choose not to cooperate with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, but what kind of power was the Myriad Treasures Pavilion? Would they allow Su Han to peacefully cooperate with other trading houses? Ridiculous!

Taking into account the reasons mentioned above, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion hadn’t sent even a single Spirit Stone to the Phoenix Sect.

But now things were different; Su Han had made Chu Ninghai, the entire Yuanshan County, Yunyang County City, and even the whole Wang’an Mansion take notice.

The Phoenix Sect had wiped out the three Great Temple Masters of the Qilin Daoist Temple and swept through its numerous Dragon God Realm cultivators, leaving the Qilin Daoist Temple in the name only!

This had proven that the Phoenix Sect possessed the strength to crush seventh-rate sects and was comparable to a sixth-rate sect!

And the status of a Sect Master of a sixth-rate sect was worth Chu Ninghai’s careful consideration.

”I can refrain from mentioning past events and I can abstain from asking why my Myriad Treasures Pavilion didn’t give me Spirit Stones. I’m only giving you two choices,”

Su Han said calmly as he looked at Chu Ninghai, ”First, immediately bring out one billion Spirit Stones and send them to the Phoenix Sect; I must see them when I return. Second, from now on, I will no longer cooperate with the Myriad Treasures Trading House. I believe the benefits of the Teleportation Formation have already been seen by other trading houses. You know what to do.”

”One billion Spirit Stones, this...”

Chu Ninghai was startled, the amount was simply too high; even if he had sent Spirit Stones to the Phoenix Sect back then, the combined profits from several Teleportation Formations would not have been this much!

However, Su Han didn’t listen to what he said next; after finishing his piece, he stepped forward and directly entered the Teleportation Formation, leaving Chu Ninghai alone with a gloomy expression, deep in thought.

Watching as the disciples of the Phoenix Sect left one by one, and with the departure of the last disciple through the Teleportation Formation, Chu Ninghai’s gloominess turned into a wry smile.

”Enough, this is all my own doing...”

”However, I truly can’t produce one billion Spirit Stones; this matter will have to be reported to the higher-ups for a decision on how to proceed,” he thought.

Chu Ninghai watched the Teleportation Formation, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, ”Su Han, indeed your growth has been astonishing, but the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has stood on the Dragon Martial Continent for so many years and is not threatened by just anyone. If the higher-ups don’t agree... then don’t blame my Myriad Treasures Pavilion for being ruthless.”

That’s how businesspeople operate, hiding a knife behind a smile.

On the surface, they seem as close as brothers, but when it comes to their interests, they remain decisive and unhesitating in their actions.
