Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1001: Chapter 1000: A God-like Man!

”You are insolent!”

The words of Xiuji and Gongsun Ze finally succeeded in igniting the anger of the Phoenix Sect disciples. They all stepped forward, their auras surging, as if ready to take action at any moment.

One of the Phoenix Sect disciples snorted coldly, ”You are the masters of the Eastern Ancestor and the Northern Ancestor. If you truly speak of seniority, indeed, you are the Sect Master’s senior brother and sister, and it is for this reason that we have never taken action against you. But how dare you not restrain yourselves and act so arrogantly, is the Sect Master someone you can insult?”

”Did I insult him?”

Gongsun Ze was momentarily stunned, then immediately chuckled bitterly, ”Don’t make it sound like there’s some deep-seated hatred, and what Xiuji said was not wrong; many people do not acknowledge the title Su Zun.”

”Let’s not talk about Su Zun for now, but you have no qualification to be so arrogant in front of the Sect Master!”

That Phoenix Sect disciple snorted coldly again, ”Do you truly think you are unrivaled in the world? Those who just fought are not ordinary disciples of the Phoenix Sect, they have only recently joined the Phoenix Sect and have not yet gone through trials and training. What does it matter if you won? Without even mentioning the Sect Master, I can randomly pick anyone from the Five Divine Guard Corps, and they’ll be stronger than you!”

”Oh?”

Xiuji raised her eyebrows and sneered, ”Then why don’t you have them come out? Now that you mention it, I’m rather curious to see it!”

”There’s a lot of buzz outside, saying how formidable the Five Divine Guard Corps of the Phoenix Sect are, the ace legion of the Phoenix Sect. We’ve never had the opportunity to spar before; now that we’ve personally visited, are you going to keep hiding it?” Gongsun Ze also opened his mouth with a faint smile, carrying a proud look on his face, as if even if the people from the Five Divine Guard Corps appeared, they could still easily be defeated by him.

”Hmph!”

That disciple was flushed with anger, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.

He was merely an ordinary disciple of the Phoenix Sect; his previous words were spoken in anger. The members of the Five Divine Guard Corps were not under his command.

However, he knew that these troublemakers would not meet a good end, and once the strong ones from within the sect appeared, they would surely make them pay.

”What, all talk and no action?”

Gongsun Ze glanced at that disciple, smiled slightly, and then loudly said, ”Hey, people from the Phoenix Sect, especially those from the Five Divine Guard Corps, rumored to be so strong? Gongsun Ze is here, challenging you. Who dares to come out and battle? Of course, if Su Baliu could come out, that would be best. I’m truly eager to see this younger brother’s strength!”

Gongsun Ze’s words made many around show expressions of watching a spectacle.

It was precisely the time the Phoenix Sect was recruiting disciples, with hundreds of thousands waiting outside for evaluation. Gongsun Ze and Xiuji suddenly creating a disturbance fit their fancy.

Of course, it wasn’t just interference they wanted to see, but also to observe if the Phoenix Sect had the ability to suppress someone like Gongsun Ze. If not, they’d have to reconsider traveling so far to join the Phoenix Sect.

A sect must be able to handle disturbances at its doorstep to have the right to recruit others.

”Wow!”

At that moment, the crowd at the front gate suddenly parted, and all the Phoenix Sect disciples showed respect, bowed, their faces full of fervor.

They cleared a path, and figures stepped out, the leading one being Su Han, clad in white!

”Salute the Sect Master!”

At this moment, numerous voices echoed outside the sect residence. All Phoenix Sect members were impassioned, their bodies trembling with excitement.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Ze and Xiuji exchanged glances, both frowning.

”Does this guy truly possess such a large following?” Gongsun Ze thought to himself.

He observed very carefully. From the moment Su Han appeared, all Phoenix Sect disciples immediately displayed respect and enthusiasm, even though they were angered by the provocation just now. Upon seeing Su Han, that anger vanished, leaving only zeal and reverence on their faces.

What does this signify?

It signifies Su Han’s status within the Phoenix Sect!

In the imagination of Gongsun Ze and the others, if Su Han showed up, these disciples should be furious and immediately complain to Su Han.

However, no one complained at all. It seemed that at that moment, everyone’s eyes were drawn solely to that young figure in white.

And people like themselves... were directly ignored.

”Is that Su Baliu?” Xiuji also looked Su Han over.

She was also observing closely. Today’s visit was not primarily for provocation but for another purpose.

However, both she and Gongsun Ze wanted to see if the Phoenix Sect had the rumored strength and to see what kind of person the legendary Su Han was.

Today, Xiuji saw it.

A god-like man!

Not particularly handsome, just somewhat gentle. His long hair draped over his shoulders and fluttered in the wind. When dressed in white, he had a slightly ethereal presence.

His aura was restrained, without the slightest escape, as if he was just an ordinary person.

Such a person, thrown into a crowd, would likely go unnoticed; yet his appearance caused a sensation within the Phoenix Sect, as if everything paled in comparison to his presence.

In the eyes of the Phoenix Sect, he is a god-like man!

And alongside Su Han were Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran, also followed by Liuyun, Hong Chen, Shangguan Mingxin, and Lian Yuze, among other high-ranking figures of the Phoenix Sect.

As for Ling Xiao and Shen Li, they did not appear. As members of the Dragon Emperor Realm, they are the trump cards of the Phoenix Sect and would not easily show up on such occasions.

”So, you are Su Han?”

After a long silence, Xiuji couldn’t help herself and was the first to speak.

Su Han looked over Xiuji, then glanced at Gongsun Ze and the others, finally revealing a smile and cupping his fists, ”Junior Brother greets all Senior Brothers and Sisters.”

Seeing this, Xiuji and Gongsun Ze exchanged another glance and frowned once more.

They thought that with their disturbance, especially during the Phoenix Sect’s disciple recruitment, Su Han would certainly be furious, and his attitude towards them wouldn’t be pleasant.

But now it seems... Su Han didn’t take it to heart at all.

Is he truly magnanimous, or... does he simply not care about them?

The two directly ignored the former and thought that Su Han was too arrogant, relying on this being the Phoenix Sect’s residence, not placing them in his eyes.

”Before senior brothers and sisters, it should be ’pay respects,’ not ’greet,’” Gongsun Ze silently said after a moment.

”How dare you!”

”Insolent!”

”Our esteemed Phoenix Sect Leader, how could he ’pay respects’ to you!”

”Not even to you, not even the Sect Master’s master requires the Sect Master to pay respects!”

”Indeed, even if the Palace Master of One Slash Palace were to come, they have no right to make the Sect Master pay respects. What are you even!”
