Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1176: Chapter 1175: Alliance? You Have the Nerve to Say That?

”Haha, thanks to you, I’ve gained just a little bit more.”

Everyone was extremely happy. At this moment, they no longer considered the Extraterritorial Demons a catastrophe, but rather, they saw them as a great fortune!

Especially the Xuanyuan Clan, who had never imagined that body cultivation could be so fast.

As the earliest-origin family on the Dragon Martial Continent, the Xuanyuan Clan has existed for many years, naturally having countless people who have cultivated their bodies.

But why has no one appeared with particularly strong physical bodies until now?

First, it requires too many resources.

Second, body cultivation is too slow!

However, after devouring that Blood Crystal and cultivating the Kunpeng Sacred Body, they suddenly found that the speed of their physical improvement was unbelievably fast!

Although just one Blood Crystal didn’t have much effect on the physical body, it was much faster compared to their previous body cultivations.

”Let’s go out; the Guu Family should be getting anxious waiting by now.” Su Han smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, everyone also smiled and gradually disappeared.

...

Outside, Guu Yan and others were indeed still lingering there.

It was already night, with pale moonlight illuminating the earth and waves of a bloody scent wafting with the wind.

Clearly, this was caused by the Extraterritorial Demons slaughtering living beings.

When Su Han and the others appeared, they not only saw the Guu Family but also another group of people.

These people, about three hundred thousand in number, were all dressed in Holy Spirit Palace garments.

”Holy Spirit Palace?” Su Han frowned slightly, puzzled.

Since the last outbreak of Extraterritorial Demons, the Top Ten Super Sects have sealed their sect gates and have neither shown up to clear these Extraterritorial Demons nor set foot in the Barren Lands, merely staying within their sects.

And this time, with the reawakening of the Extraterritorial Demons, logically, the Top Ten Super Sects should be acting the same. At least, that’s what Su Han’s information suggests.

But why is the Holy Spirit Palace here?

”Sect Master Su, you finally returned.” Guu Yan was relieved upon seeing Su Han and the others appear.

They were indeed worried that Su Han would use retreat as an excuse to shake them off, leaving them to wait here deliberately.

Now it seems that’s not the case.

”You all...”

At the same time, Guu Yan looked at Su Han and his group, seeming hesitant to speak further.

From the Phoenix Sect and Xuanyuan Clan, Guu Yan felt they seemed different, a small change, but as someone in the Dragon Emperor Realm, he could still sense it.

Especially Su Han, although he still wore a white robe with long hair draped over his shoulders and a delicate appearance, not emitting a hint of aura.

But...

Guu Yan just felt that Su Han seemed somewhat different.

”Did he break through again while in retreat?” Guu Yan thought to himself.

However, seeing Su Han not intending to respond, he felt it was impolite to ask further, so he said, ”Sect Master Su, you should know this person, one of the Seven Great Temple Masters of the Holy Spirit Palace, Hall Master of the Heart-Breaking Hall, Su Cong, shares your surname, and five hundred years ago, should be from the same family, haha!”

As Guu Yan spoke, a middle-aged man at the forefront of the Holy Spirit Palace group came over, cupped his fists, and said, ”Sect Master Su.”

”Hmm.”

Su Han responded indifferently, then looked at Guu Yan, ”Shall we go?”

Guu Yan was taken aback, his smile slightly faltering, then said, ”Sect Master Su, Hall Master Su Cong and I are close friends. This time, the Holy Spirit Palace also began a large-scale migration, though like my Guu Family, divided into several contingents. Hall Master Su’s forces were attacked by Extraterritorial Demons before, suffering heavy losses.”

Stopping here, Guu Yan knew that Su Han must understand his implication.

However, Su Han seemed completely oblivious, speaking, ”This place isn’t safe for long; will you leave or not?”

Guu Yan was stunned again, secretly wondering how someone as shrewd as Su Baliu would not pick up on his underlying message?

Just when he was about to speak again, Su Cong stepped forward, blocking Su Han, and frowned, ”Sect Master Su, do you have an issue with me?”

”Issue?”

Su Han shook his head with a smirk, ”I wouldn’t dare. Holy Spirit Palace is a Super Sect; how could my humble Phoenix Sect dare to have issues with you?”

”Let’s be open and frank; subtle mockery serves no purpose.”

Su Cong said, ”Phoenix Sect and Holy Spirit Palace have some history. Previously, when Miss Yun Qianqian of the Yun Family was seriously injured, you entrusted Holy Spirit Palace to save her life. Out of respect for you, we agreed. Afterwards, Phoenix Sect allied with Holy Spirit Palace too. Based on the alliance alone, we should proceed to Barren Lands together today, shouldn’t we?”

”Hahaha, utterly ridiculous!”

”Is this Holy Spirit Palace, not to make me laugh my teeth off?”

”Step aside, we have no time to chat idly with you.”

Before Su Han could speak, dissatisfied voices arose from the Phoenix Sect.

Hearing these voices, Su Cong’s brow furrowed even deeper.

”Su Cong, right?”

Su Han waved his hand, signaling the Phoenix Sect Disciples to remain silent, then said to Su Cong, ”Alright, since you want to discuss, then I’ll have a proper discussion with you.”

”First, as for Yun Qianqian, let’s not mention it again. Holy Spirit Palace saved her life, but the Yun Family also paid a price of one billion Spirit Stones. With Yun Qianqian’s Cultivation Base just at the Dragon God Realm, saving her life for a billion Spirit Stones is sufficient, right? So, there’s no talk of indebtedness within this.”

”Second, you mentioned the alliance between the Holy Spirit Palace and my Phoenix Sect...”

Here, Su Han suddenly raised his head, looking at Su Cong, and slowly said, ”Do you even dare say that?”

Su Cong’s face changed, obviously not expecting such straightforward words from Su Han.

At the same time, Guu Yan’s expression shifted, but he became more puzzled.

He knew about the alliance between the Holy Spirit Palace and Phoenix Sect, but Su Han’s previous indifference towards Su Cong, cold and dismissive, even ignoring him initially, now turned into outright insult. What’s going on?

”Sect Master Su, between you and them... what happened?” Guu Yan couldn’t help but ask.
