Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1055 Cheng Yu’s Request (3 updates!)

The matter of Bai Ling joining the Phoenix Sect was thus decided.

Actually, everyone knew that Su Han’s so-called marriage proposal was just an excuse. His real intention was to have Bai Ling join the Phoenix Sect, but due to Bai Ling already being a member of the Holy Spirit Palace, it was awkward to directly ask.

However, Su Han’s status was different now, and he had paid quite a price, with just the Spirit Stone costing as much as twenty billion. From any perspective, in exchange for Bai Ling, it was already sufficient.

Moreover, Tan Ying was still Bai Ling’s Master, and the two did not sever ties because of Bai Ling’s departure from the Holy Spirit Palace.

Thus, everyone was happy.

...

Evening.

Yuwen Zhongcheng personally arranged a room for Su Han, allowing him to rest there for the night.

The next day, the Holy Spirit Palace indeed held a grand banquet, with three of the seven Hall Masters present. Besides Yuwen Zhongcheng and Tan Ying, there was also Qinghe, the Hall Master of the Hall of Desire.

As Su Han had imagined, Qinghe’s cultivation base was indeed not much different from that of Yuwen Zhongcheng and Tan Ying; all were at the Dragon Emperor Realm Early Stage.

Qinghe looked very young, but in reality, his age had exceeded a thousand. He was extremely amiable, and he was quite courteous to Su Han, not letting Su Han down.

As for the other four Hall Masters, according to Yuwen Zhongcheng, two were in seclusion, and the other two were out, temporarily unable to return.

Su Han was not yet at a level that would necessitate all seven Hall Masters to come out and accompany him, so he naturally did not mind.

A day quickly passed, as everyone enjoyed the food and drink, the sumptuous delicacies presented were endless, extremely delicious.

...

The next day, Su Han planned to leave.

Tan Ying had already explained everything to Bai Ling, and the secret technique placed on Bai Ling by the Holy Spirit Palace had been undone.

From the moment Tan Ying agreed, Bai Ling was no longer a member of the Holy Spirit Palace.

She was finally free, her life was in her own hands, and she was filled with gratitude toward Su Han.

Of course, she knew Su Han was strict in managing his subordinates, but as long as it wasn’t like the Holy Spirit Palace, she was already satisfied, as she had no intention of betraying the sect.

Just as Su Han intended to send a message to Bai Ling saying he was leaving, suddenly the door was knocked on.

”Su Zun, Elder Chengg Yu requests to see you,” said someone outside from the Holy Spirit Palace.

”Chengg Yu?”

Su Han slightly pondered, and said, ”Let him come in.”

”Yes.”

The person left, and after a short while, the door was knocked again. With Su Han’s permission, Chengg Yu entered.

Su Han looked up and immediately frowned slightly.

Chengg Yu looked disheveled, his eyes were red, bloodstains lingered at the corner of his mouth, and his aura was faintly chaotic, as if his cultivation base might collapse at any moment.

”What’s going on?” Su Han couldn’t help asking.

”Su Zun!”

Chengg Yu was filled with fury, feeling extremely aggrieved. Seeing Su Han asking, he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.

This scene made Su Han frown once more.

He vaguely remembered meeting Chengg Yu on the Ancient Battlefield during the First Phase of the sect competition, where Su Han had requested Chengg Yu to apply to the Holy Spirit Palace for help in treating Yun Qianqian.

At that time, Chengg Yu was courteous but full of vigor, entirely embodying the demeanor of a strong person; it was completely different now. It was hard to imagine someone at the Peak of the Divine Realm would become this miserable.

”Stand up.”

Su Han waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted Chengg Yu to his feet.

”There’s a chair over there, have a seat.” Su Han said.

”Su Zun, I beg you to take action!!!”

Chengg Yu had no intention of sitting, his voice almost a scream, revealing the anger and unwillingness in his heart.

”Calm down first.”

Su Han said, ”Tell me what happened in detail.”

”Whew...”

Chengg Yu took a deep breath, seemingly suppressing his anger, then said, ”Su Zun, although I am an Elder of the Holy Spirit Palace, there are many factions within the Holy Spirit Palace. Some Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouses’ descendants often bully me because of my lack of significant background, constantly depriving me of my resources. Otherwise, with my talent, I might not definitely succeed in breaking through, but at least I could attempt!

Just a moment ago, when the Holy Spirit Palace distributed this month’s resources, that bastard Zhou Chen once again snatched mine. I was really angry, fought with him and managed to reclaim the resources. However, Zhou Chen is the direct disciple of Elder Zuo Fei, a Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouse of the Holy Spirit Palace, who strongly favors his students. After learning about this, he severely injured me!”

”Please, Su Zun, even if you don’t help me seek justice, at least...prevent me from suffering such humiliation again!!”

Chengg Yu finished speaking in one breath and looked at Su Han, full of expectation.

In reality, there were some things he hadn’t said.

Zhou Chen indeed took his resources, but Chengg Yu felt that since Su Han made a request in front of so many people, surely some deterrent force had been established, that’s why he dared to take action against Zhou Chen and reclaim the resources.

If Su Han weren’t here, he would have continued to endure.

But he didn’t expect that Elder Zuo seemed not to care about Su Han at all; the deterrent force Chengg Yu imagined was completely nonexistent to Zuo Fei.

Perhaps because of this idea, Zhou Chen dared to snatch Chengg Yu’s resources once again.

”I see...”

Su Han nodded.

Actually, when speaking to Chengg Yu at the entrance of the Holy Spirit Palace, Su Han truly intended to indirectly assist Chengg Yu.

Although Su Han didn’t know Chengg Yu would encounter such humiliation within the Holy Spirit Palace, he thought perhaps due to his words or his presence, the Holy Spirit Palace might take more care of Chengg Yu. Additionally, since Chengg Yu was already at the Peak of the Divine Realm, just a slight tilt in resources could very likely lead to his breakthrough.

Once Chengg Yu breaks through, he’d be at the Dragon Emperor Realm, and even if unsuccessful, he’d still be at the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, much stronger than he was now.

But now it seemed that the so-called Elder Zuo didn’t consider Su Han at all!

At the same time, Su Han could also see how intense the competition within the Holy Spirit Palace was.

Yuwen Zhongcheng had already hinted at this previously, and now, it was clearly demonstrated through Chengg Yu.

”Su Zun, you don’t owe me anything, treating Yun Qianqian was done by the Holy Spirit Palace, not by me.”

Chengg Yu said, ”But I hope Su Zun can think of our acquaintance and help me once, just once!”

After saying this, he again knelt with a thud, knocking his head against the ground repeatedly before Su Han.

Seeing this, Su Han couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, realizing the importance of strength!
