Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 563: Chapter 560: Expelled from the Sect!

”Since you joined the Phoenix Sect, you have consumed numerous pills and spirit stones, and even in terms of weapons and equipment, this Sect has never been stingy. Where do all these things come from?”

”Now, when the Phoenix Sect is in trouble and it’s time for you to truly make a contribution, you tell this Sect that you’ve only killed four at the Dragon Vein Realm and one at the Dragon Blood Realm?”

”This Sect has expended such vast resources to cultivate you, yet you’ve only made such a minor contribution. What face do you have to ask this Sect for resources?!”

Su Han’s voice, sentence by sentence, word by word, resounded with authority, each word condemning the heart!

Everyone understood that Su Han was making an example out of someone.

Though such a phrase should not be used within one’s own sect, a massive sect will inevitably harbor such tumors, something Su Han had deeply experienced in his past life. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

In his past life, as he grew more powerful and the sect expanded, Su Han had pulled out countless tumors one by one. But ultimately, the largest tumor had evaded his eyes.

That was the Sovereign of Yuan Ling, the current Lord of the Holy Domain!

Su Han was well aware of the massive impact a tumor could have on a sect and had anticipated this. Therefore, in front of all the sect disciples today, it was a perfect opportunity to make an example.

”I have died once for the Phoenix Sect!”

Pang Feng suddenly raised his head, his expression somewhat grim: ”At that time, you provoked a Super Sect, and a Dragon Emperor Realm expert personally took action, nearly destroying the God-Slaying Pavilion. At that time, I died!”

”Is that so?”

Su Han said calmly, ”Then why are you still alive now?”

”I...”

”What about you?”

”The reason you’re alive is because this Sect, with extraordinary effort, seized a multitude of spirit stones at a great cost to rescue you and the others who had died!”

Upon these words, everyone fell silent once more.

Older disciples knew of this matter, and it was widely spread, so that even disciples who had recently joined were also aware of it.

It was also because of this that Su Han held an even higher status in the hearts of many disciples and why many loose cultivators sought to join the Phoenix Sect.

In the entire Dragon Martial Continent, likely only the Holy Demon Palace of the Super Sects could resurrect disciples. Yet, the resurrection at the Holy Demon Palace was still just a legend. Unless one was a disciple of the Holy Demon Palace and had died at least once within its ranks, no one knew if true resurrection was possible.

”Before you joined the Phoenix Sect, you had merely four Dragon Veins. If it weren’t for resources, perhaps you would never have reached your current level in your entire life. And these resources were provided to you by this Sect, it’s as if you were born anew!”

”You died once for the Phoenix Sect, this Sect resurrected you, giving you a second birth!”

”Altogether, this Sect has given you two new lives, and what you have given to the Phoenix Sect is a single death!”

Su Han’s words were somewhat icy, ”Tell this Sect, who has given more, this Sect to you, or you to the Phoenix Sect?!”

”Those resources were not obtained by your efforts alone, but by many disciples of the Phoenix Sect together, and as such, should be rightfully distributed!!!”

Pang Feng’s face contorted with ferocity, showing a faint hint of madness.

”Without this Sect, how could you have reached your current level, without this Sect, how could you have had the power to acquire those resources!”

Su Han said in a cold voice, ”Before this, if this Sect hadn’t given you those resources, the Sect’s power would not be merely what it is today; alone, this Sect would have still obtained those resources!”

In his words, an authoritative pressure caused Pang Feng’s heart to pound, thoroughly suppressing the momentum that had previously risen within him.

”Summon them!”

With a sweep of his large sleeve, Su Han declared, ”As for the Blood Crystals on Pang Feng, if he wishes to keep them, let him do so! The five Blood Crystals he exchanged earlier should all be returned to him, and retrieve the Contribution Values of the Sect. From now on, he is no longer a disciple of my Phoenix Sect!”

”No...”

Pang Feng’s face turned pale, and he kneeled on the ground with a thump, ”Sect Master, your disciple knows his mistakes, it’s my fault, I beg for your forgiveness!”

Su Han remained indifferent, paying him no heed.

”Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

Several figures rushed out; they were members of the Starry Divine Guard. Seeing that Su Han did not speak, they sighed in their hearts, yet their expressions were cold. They grabbed Pang Feng, their figures turning illusionary, and left the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

In the current state of the outside world, once Pang Feng was expelled from the Sect, with his Dragon Pill Realm cultivation base... it was feared he would not survive even ten breaths.

The other disciples, watching this scene, felt a chill run through their bodies, especially those who had earlier clamored about unfairness; at this moment, they all sealed their lips.

”Is there anyone else who finds the commands of this Sect to be unfair?”

Su Han scanned the group and said lightly, ”If you still feel this way, feel free to speak up. This Sect will not take your Blood Crystals, nor will we reclaim all the resources you have used before. But remember, the Phoenix Sect is definitely not the place for you!”

No one spoke, and silence ensued.

”A Sect is ultimately not propped up by just one person, you all need to understand this,” Su Han spoke, his voice softening a bit. ”What this Sect can offer you are Cultivation Techniques, Dragon Techniques, and secret techniques, but think carefully about it yourselves... What exactly can you offer this Sect?”

”Lian Yuze, effective immediately, besides the Holy Cold Divine Guard, have each of the other Four Great Divine Guard Regiments extract two hundred and fifty Divine Guards to establish the Law Enforcement Hall for our Phoenix Sect. As for the position of Hall Master, you choose yourself. If anyone is dissatisfied with me or with the Phoenix Sect, they should go to the Law Enforcement Hall first, and only after passing through there, may they come to me!”

As his voice fell, Su Han’s figure slowly sank and finally disappeared into the valley.

”What are you waiting for? Disperse!”

Lian Yuze nodded in agreement and then shouted at the disciples.

The disciples immediately snapped to their senses, and without a word, hurriedly retreated.

From beginning to end, Su Han did not lay a hand on Pang Feng, nor did he cripple his cultivation base, he merely expelled him from the Sect.

Yet for other Sects, expulsion usually meant reclaiming everything the person had gained within the Sect, including their cultivation base.

But Su Han did not do so, leaving a great deal of favor.

The disciples felt no resentment towards Su Han; instead, some were thankful, grateful to Su Han for helping them see the light.

A cultivator’s journey is inherently against the heavens, and if one always lives under the shelter of others, they can only ever be flowers in a greenhouse and unlikely to achieve greatness.

They realized that now, with the Phoenix Sect and Su Han, they could freely demand resources, but in the future, without Su Han, without the Phoenix Sect, how could they continue to live?

This was Su Han giving them a chance to find their own path in cultivation and to stabilize their own minds.
