Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1019: Chapter 1018: Ten-Mile Street Pays Respect to Su Zun!

Nangong Yu left, and Su Han did not try too hard to persuade her to stay, nor could he.

The day after Nangong Yu arrived and left, Su Han set off for the One Slash Palace.

He allotted the Phoenix Sect at most six months for consolidation, and during these six months, Su Han had too many places to go.

One Slash Palace, Holy Spirit Palace, Xuanyuan Clan, Ye Family...

All these forces related to Su Han, he would visit, whether to repay past kindness or to recruit Xuanyuan Wuqing, Bai Ling, and others into the Phoenix Sect.

In the room, Su Han unfolded the Ruyi Seal, and once the black hole appeared, he stepped in and vanished.

...

Central Domain, the stronghold left by the Ruyi Seal.

Because Su Han never visited the One Slash Palace, he did not leave a stronghold there; it was the original owner of the Ruyi Seal who left a stronghold here in the Central Domain.

This stronghold was a tavern.

Su Han extended his Divine Sense, casually observed, and without paying much attention, walked out of the tavern room and descended the stairs.

The tavern hall was nearly full, with some boasting, some discussing recent events, and others chatting loudly.

When Su Han came down, no one noticed him at first. However, the shopkeeper, with his sharp eyes, froze slightly when he saw Su Han and involuntarily exclaimed, ”Su... Su Zun?”

Though his voice was not loud, at this moment, it instantly spread throughout the tavern hall.

The news that Su Han was still alive had already spread across the Dragon Martial Continent; Su Han no longer hid it and had no intention to, so he neither disguised himself nor changed his aura.

”Hello.”

Su Han smiled at the tavern shopkeeper and said no more, heading straight for the tavern entrance.

”Su Zun!”

”It really is Su Zun!”

”My God, Su Zun is actually still alive? I always thought it was just a rumor. After all, it was the Imperial Ancestor of the Sect of the Battle God who personally took action, and even the One Slash Palace confirmed that Su Zun’s soul had scattered!”

”Hahaha, worthy of our Su Zun. Surviving the siege of so many Dragon Emperor Realm experts, even with a terrifying powerhouse like the Imperial Ancestor involved, and yet he is still safe and sound, returning once more. Admirable, truly admirable!”

”We pay our respects to Su Zun!”

”Pay our respects to Su Zun!!!”

In that instant, everyone in the hall stood up, then knelt on one knee, paying homage to Su Han.

To them, this man called ’Zun’ should have this qualification!

Even among those who did not accept Su Han, it would not be proper to remain seated while others knelt. Doing so would make them conspicuous and might attract Su Han’s attention or even displeasure.

Of course, those who admired Su Han were still the majority.

Looking at the entire hall kneeling on one knee, Su Han smiled and said, ”There’s no need for this, everyone. I’m just a mere cultivator, unworthy of such great courtesy. Please, stand up quickly.”

”The name of Su Zun shakes the world; he has such a qualification!”

”Indeed, even those from the Super Sects must kneel on one knee, let alone Su Zun!”

”It’s our honor to pay respect to Su Zun, no need for Su Zun to say more!”

Everyone spoke in excitement, their bodies trembling, as if they themselves were Su Zun.

Su Han could only sigh helplessly, saying nothing more as he walked out of the tavern.

”Su Zun, please wait!”

At this moment, a burly man suddenly spoke, ”Su Zun, I heard you have set up five outposts in the Eastern Heaven Realm to recruit disciples. When will you set up one here in the Central Domain? Many of us wish to join the Phoenix Sect, but the distance is far; it would take at least several years. We hope Su Zun can make an exception.”

Su Han’s Divine Sense swept over, discovering this man’s cultivation base was at the Dragon God Realm Late Stage.

He glanced around and saw many people looking expectant, immediately understanding that what Lian Yuze had said was true. Countless people wished to join the Phoenix Sect, but the distance was too great, and they feared failing the selection after traveling for years, which would be a waste of time.

”Very soon, rest assured.” Su Han smiled and replied.

”That’s good, we are eager. We hope Su Zun will proceed with this matter quickly.”

”Hmm.” 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Su Han nodded and left the tavern.

After he left, the people in the hall remained quite excited, much like ordinary people today meeting their favorite celebrity, overwhelmed with excitement.

...

”We pay our respects to Su Zun!”

”Greetings to Su Zun!”

”Su Zun, is it truly you?”

After leaving the tavern, a wry smile remained on Su Han’s lips.

As soon as one person recognized Su Han, they would immediately speak up, or kneel on one knee just like those in the hall.

Consequently, almost everyone on the entire street knew Su Han had arrived. Except for those with enmity against Su Han, everyone else, even the neutral parties, paid their respects.

Jokingly, they might feel that Su Han’s power and status do not concern them, but seeing him without showing respect could perhaps concern them.

Even those who held grudges against Su Han, upon seeing him, hastily moved aside, fearing unwelcome attention from him.

Looking far and wide, a stretch of ten miles of street was filled with kneeling people.

And Su Han, clad in white, walked among the kneeling crowd, like a Divine Spirit.

Only at this moment did Su Zun’s influence fully radiate, finally cementing the name ’Su Zun.’

Though Su Han asked them to rise, no one listened, and in the end, he had to speed up to escape their kneeling tributes.

He considered changing his appearance to avoid this, but seeing the people kneel swiftly upon seeing him, waiting for him to pass by, changing his appearance would also be disrespectful to them.

In the end, Su Han simply walked openly through the crowd, his ordinary yet charming features and lean yet upright figure deeply imprinting in those people’s memories at that moment.

Even upon exiting the Dragon Martial City, when Su Han looked back, he could still see countless people kneeling on one knee, raising their heads to watch him leave.

”Indeed, with strength comes respect wherever you go; without it, you face ridicule.”

Su Han sighed, ”This is human nature!”

He had no doubt that if he weren’t Su Zun, without that legendary status, no one would notice him walking among the crowd.
