Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 718: Chapter 716: Wait and See What Happens

”Search for our people,” Su Han instructed after briefly surveying the area.

The members of the Phoenix Sect had actually already been searching. Upon hearing Su Han’s words, a member of the Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression immediately said, ”Sect Master, our people are over there!”

Su Han followed his gaze. There were at least 1.6 million people in the area, a truly overwhelming number. They were either attacking each other or setting up their defenses, with many lights isolating themselves from the surroundings. The only relatively calm places were around the hundred large well mouths and some of the medium-sized ones.

It was genuinely difficult to find a few hundred people among 1.6 million, especially since Divine Sense couldn’t extend very far here. Moreover, Su Han had been focused on the well mouths before, so he hadn’t found the rest of the Phoenix Sect members right away.

Now, hearing the words of the Divine Guardian from the Dragon Suppression, Su Han immediately looked in the direction pointed out and saw a battle taking place near a small well mouth.

In this battle, more than a dozen powers were besieging another power—the remaining members of the Phoenix Sect!

Among them, led by Xiang’er, were over seven hundred people, including all members of the Phoenix Sect who had entered the Ancient Battlefield, except for Su Han and his companions.

They had clearly been separated when they entered this place, and seeing the Light Pillar appear, they had an unspoken agreement to rendezvous here.

Xiang’er herself was a Magic Holy Body, a person of extremely high magical talent and the most gifted among all mages in the Phoenix Sect.

Her Magic Cultivation Base had reached the level of a Fifth Order Archmage during this short period, on par with Liuyun and the others. Given more time, she would quickly surpass them.

This time, Su Han had brought her along as well.

When Su Han and the others looked over, the Phoenix Sect members were desperately holding their ground, but clearly, the siege had not been going on for long and had just started.

Those more than a dozen powers besieging the Phoenix Sect were all unfamiliar to Su Han and his companions; they hadn’t even seen them once. But it was obvious, even without thinking, that these powers were undoubtedly under the control of the Super Sects like the Sect of the Battle God, Jade Void Palace, Immortal Dao Court, and Giant Island, and they must have been commanded by them to launch an assault on the Phoenix Sect.

The more than a dozen powers each had at least seven or eight hundred people, and in total, there were nearly ten thousand.

Compared to them, the number of Phoenix Sect members was too small, only over seven hundred. The gap was too big, and Su Han could tell at a glance that although Xiang’er and the others had increased their Illusion strength, it wasn’t as much as his own group, and they simply couldn’t withstand the siege of nearly ten thousand people.

”Those bastards!” ℯℯ𝑙.

Liuyun’s eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and he was about to take action.

But Su Han held him back and calmly said, ”They’re not going to die just yet. There’s no need to rush.”

”Sect Master, if we don’t take action soon, they’ll be in danger!” Liuyun urged anxiously.

Su Han glanced at him and said, ”I’ve told you before that you need to properly cultivate your State of Mind. Don’t be too impulsive.”

Liuyun fell silent, while the others looked somewhat puzzled, only Shangguan Mingxin, with her meticulous mind, asked, ”Does the Sect Master mean that he wants to see who will come to our aid?”

Su Han nodded, ”Today, all the grand powers have gathered here, including some with ties to our Phoenix Sect. In the past, although they appeared cordial on the surface, no one knows what they truly think in their hearts. This moment is the best test of how they regard our Phoenix Sect.”

”In that case, we will stealthily approach for now, but not make a move. If Xiang’er and the others are in danger, we’ll intervene. Is that acceptable?” Shangguan Mingxin said.

”Mm,” Su Han responded with a slight nod.

At this moment, Xiang’er was continuously issuing commands. She had some talent for leadership, and under her direction, the Phoenix Sect formed a unit. The mages’ various defenses were in place while the martial artist cultivators were scattered around for protection. The Starry Divine Guard formed a sharp blade, striking out neatly and orderly.

Their Cultivation Bases were evident; there were more than seven hundred people, each at least comparable to the Dragon God Realm. The opposing forces, composed of over a dozen powers, were at most Third-Rate Sects, with a majority being Fourth-Rate and Fifth-Rate Sects, and even including Sixth-Rate and Seventh-Rate Sects.

Within these Sects, at most only one-third of the members were in the Dragon God Realm. The lower the level of the Sect, the fewer the number of Dragon God Realm members. As for the Dragon Pill Realm, for the time being, they posed no real threat to the Phoenix Sect.

Under Xiang’er’s command, for a time, the Phoenix Sect was actually able to fend off the attack of nearly ten thousand people.

The surrounding powers occasionally glanced over here. Although battles were also breaking out elsewhere, they usually involved only two powers, no more than two thousand people in combat. At most, a few powers would join together, with a combined number not exceeding five thousand.

But here at the Phoenix Sect, over seven hundred people resisted the siege of nearly ten thousand, immediately drawing the attention of many.

Among them, those seated cross-legged at the edges of large wells from the Super Sects cast most of their gazes this way.

”Hmph, although Su Baliu is not among them, killing off these minions of the Phoenix Sect would still be akin to breaking one of its wings here,” one of them muttered under his breath.

At the Jade Void Palace, a young man sneered coldly.

The youth had a dark and shady appearance, his face marked with numerous black spots. He sat at the very front, protected by more than six hundred people from the Jade Void Palace, with followers from the First-Class Sects affiliated with the palace on the periphery.

He was not the leader of this expedition; that role belonged to Duan Tiansheng, who had yet to arrive. In the meantime, he assumed the position of temporary leader.

This person was named ’Duan Yuhai’, a cousin of Duan Tiansheng’s and thus, his cousin. However, the two were also rivals within the Jade Void Palace, and Duan Yuhai would rather Duan Tiansheng not show up at all, so he could be the true leader of this Ancient Battlefield expedition!

Elsewhere, on Giant Island, there was also a young man who bore some resemblance to Liushui Wuhen. In fact, this man was indeed Liushui Wuhen’s younger brother, Liushui Wuqing!

However, Liushui Wuqing did not possess the brilliance or talent of Liushui Wuhen. Currently, his Cultivation Base was merely in the Dragon Pill Realm, not even reaching the Dragon Pill Realm Peak – simply in its later stage.

”Guyue is actually dead?”

Liushui Wuqing held a shattered Lifeblood Crystal Stone in his hand, not showing any rage but instead revealing a sneer.

”Well, the Sect assigned me as the leader for this mission, but Guyue always opposed me, looking down on my Cultivation Base and talent. Her death spares me quite a bit of trouble.”
