Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1227: Chapter 1226: Midnight Arrives, Crisis Erupts!

As expected, Nihility Delusion arranged for Bai Nanxing, Chen Dongli, and those disciples of the Holy Spirit Palace whose palaces were destroyed, to be relocated.

”That bastard Su Baliu!”

After everyone had left, Bai Nanxing and Chen Dongli exchanged glances and cursed, ”He’s so unforgiving, he must be the most vengeful person I have ever met in my life!”

”Hmph, once our Holy Spirit Palace is fully settled, the first one we’ll deal with is his Phoenix Sect!” Chen Dongli’s face held a cold meaning.

Below them, the Chief Hall Master of the Holy Spirit Palace, Tang Yushi, and the Seven Great Temple Masters were all present.

The eight of them seemed very angry, their faces full of killing intent and resentment.

”My High-Grade Holy Spirit Level defensive equipment was destroyed by him...” Yuwen Zhongcheng gnashed his teeth, clutching his chest, his mouth stained with blood.

”Didn’t it happen to us too?”

The others were in a similar state, and Tang Yushi said, ”However, this one’s strength is indeed very strong. If we are to strike against him, careful planning is necessary.”

”Mm.” Everyone nodded.

As they lowered their palms from their chests, a ray of light flashed by.

This light was so faint it was almost invisible, and its speed was too fast. Even Blood Venerable and the others, who had been watching them closely, failed to notice it.

”What exactly did Su Zun give us...?” Yuwen Zhongcheng’s eyes flashed as he extended a wisp of Divine Sense into his Space Ring.

It wasn’t just him; everyone, including Bai Nanxing and Chen Dongli, did the same.

Inside their Space Rings, there was now a Jade Bottle, palm-sized, filled with some liquid.

”Wine?”

Upon smelling the strong fragrance of the liquid, everyone couldn’t help but frown.

”Did he go to such great lengths just to cover this up because of this wine?”

”What exactly is this wine?”

”Definitely not an ordinary item, Su Zun deliberately didn’t let that person in the shadows see it. There’s certainly a huge conspiracy involved!”

The crowd speculated, while Bai Nanxing and Chen Dongli took a deep breath, the cold light in their eyes intensifying.

However, this cold light, although it may have seemed targeted at Su Han to others, was not the case in reality.

”Remember, do not expose this item. If a crisis occurs, swallow it immediately.”

Bai Nanxing transmitted a message to everyone: ”Su Zun definitely won’t harm us. I can see that he is not that kind of person. It’s very possible that this wine could be our lifesaving item.”

”Understood.”

The Eight Great Hall Masters all nodded internally.

At this moment, it seemed they finally understood why Su Han had acted recklessly earlier, why he interrupted Nihility Delusion multiple times, and why... he suddenly made a move against them.

There must be a massive conspiracy behind this; Su Han must have discovered something!

”Barren Land...”

Everyone took a deep breath, clenching their teeth, anger rising in their hearts.

Having just escaped the wolf’s den, they had fallen into the tiger’s lair. This Barren Land seemed far from as peaceful as it appeared!

...

Meanwhile, on Su Han’s side, after returning to the palace, several high-ranking members of the Phoenix Sect immediately came to inquire, evidently aware of what had happened earlier.

However, they were all dismissed by Su Han.

After they left, the people from the Cultivator Alliance came.

”Su Zun.”

”Mm.”

Su Han nodded, turning around with an air of superiority and faintly said, ”What is it?”

”Su Zun, the Alliance Hierarch of the Cultivator Alliance has ordered that until you are fully rested, you should not go out.”

The member of the Cultivator Alliance said, ”It’s not to restrict you, but... you just entered the Barren Land and already made a move against the Holy Spirit Palace. This has indeed violated the rules of the Cultivator Alliance. If other forces were to behave like you, the Cultivator Alliance would find it impossible to manage. We hope for your understanding, Su Zun.”

”Understood.”

Su Han nodded and then waved his hand: ”You may leave.”

”Yes.”

The member of the Cultivator Alliance slowly retreated, closing the door.

As the door closed, turning around, coldness appeared in his eyes.

”Even now, considering himself an upper echelon? Still ordering me around like this? Does he still think his status and position are very high?”

”Heh, just someone with a bit of talent, but arrogant and conceited.”

”After tonight, there will no longer be a Su Baliu on the Dragon Martial Continent!”

...

The night quietly arrived.

The darkness, like a vast black curtain, stretched from afar in the skies, gradually enveloping the entire Dragon Martial Continent.

Standing in the Barren Land, looking up, no starlight could be seen, only endless dust floating in the air.

Su Han had been sitting cross-legged inside the palace, and the members of the Phoenix Sect also remained silent, appearing to be in a state of recuperation, healing their wounds.

The Holy Spirit Palace and other factions were doing the same.

Unnoticed, figures appeared around the palaces, all wearing servant’s clothes, sometimes bringing in a plate of fruit, or some wine and meat.

However, once they came, they never left.

As night deepened, one hour passed, two hours, three hours...

Heaven and Earth became completely silent at this moment, no one spoke, the only sound was the howling of the Extraterritorial Demons.

Deep into the night.

A pin drop could be heard.

This peaceful atmosphere was the most relaxing, inducing a desire to thoroughly unwind and rest.

Su Han and the others, having gone through almost a full day of crises, had narrowly escaped. Now was truly the best time to rest.

However, as midnight fully descended, those members of the Cultivator Alliance sitting cross-legged around the palace suddenly opened their eyes!

At the moment they opened their eyes, Su Han, also sitting cross-legged in the palace, suddenly opened his eyes as well!

Without a word, he stood up, and his already-prepared battle power instantly reached its peak.

He performed the Fourth Step of the Nine Steps of the Heavenly Dragon, ready to charge out of the door with a single step.

But just at this moment, with a swishing sound, a blood-red light barrier suddenly appeared, blocking Su Han’s path.

Su Han’s body slammed into this light barrier, his form shaking as he was knocked backward.

If not for his Flesh Cultivation Base being in the Dragon Emperor Realm, this collision alone would have been enough to shatter his body.

”Blood Spirit Power?”

Gazing at the blood-colored light barrier, Su Han’s pupils contracted fiercely.

”How could it be!!!”

Clearly, he recognized this blood-red light barrier!

”Phoenix Sect, ready!!!”

In the pitch-black night, Su Han’s enormous roar echoed from the palace, resounding in all directions.

A crisis erupted completely!
