Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1249: Chapter 1248: Number of Disciples Surpasses One Billion! (5 Updates!)

In the end, all the forces agreed to Su Han’s ’win-win solution’.

In fact, Su Han had his own ideas; he certainly couldn’t end up at a disadvantage.

Now, thanks to the 40 million members of the Cultivator Alliance, the Phoenix Sect’s numbers have reached a full 50 million.

How many blood crystals would it take for these 50 million people?

That is an extremely large quantity.

And if solely relying on the Phoenix Sect, the blood crystals obtained would simply not be enough.

But with the ’help’ of forces like the Holy Spirit Palace, the Yun Family, etc., the speed of acquiring blood crystals would be significantly faster.

And for the Phoenix Sect, the only loss was the Kunpeng Sacred Body.

Even if the Kunpeng Sacred Body was given to these forces, Su Han was not afraid. He had plenty of means to ensure that as long as a little ’addition’ was made to the Kunpeng Sacred Body, they could pose no threat to the Phoenix Sect.

Of course, the Kunpeng Sacred Body is still the true Kunpeng Sacred Body. As long as those cultivating it don’t threaten the Phoenix Sect, even if they reach the Sovereign Boundary, Su Han wouldn’t act against them.

...

The day after the meeting ended, the Phoenix Sect, together with the Holy Spirit Palace and other forces, began the adjudication of the Cultivator Alliance.

Countless figures shimmered and appeared, scattered throughout the Barren Land.

They had only two conditions: join or not join.

Those who join must hand over their Lifeblood Gold Blood. This is their last chance to survive.

If they don’t join...

They remain as harm, as former enemies who once sought to kill Su Han. Such people are threats that cannot be tolerated.

On the Cultivator Alliance side, everyone was actually hesitating, fearing what might happen if they handed over their Lifeblood Gold Blood after joining these forces, whether they would be directly killed.

After all, once the Lifeblood Gold Blood was given away, they would have no chance to resist.

But if they didn’t join... they might still die!

The previous joiners gave them hope.

Except for the Phoenix Sect, none of the other forces collected the Lifeblood Gold Blood, so their worries didn’t materialize.

As for the Phoenix Sect...

Although the Phoenix Sect collected the Lifeblood Gold Blood, those people weren’t killed!

Not only were they not killed, but they were also directly bestowed with the Kunpeng Sacred Body upon joining the Phoenix Sect. If Su Han really wanted them dead, would he bother with such futile actions?

In this way, almost all remaining members of the Cultivator Alliance compromised.

They chose to join, some joining the Phoenix Sect, others joining the Holy Spirit Palace and other forces.

...

Another three days passed.

In the palace of the Holy Spirit Palace, Tang Yushi listened to the report from the disciples below, feeling an urge to slam the table.

”Are these people out of their minds? The Phoenix Sect takes their Lifeblood Gold Blood, stripping them of their freedom, not even allowing them to control their own lives, yet they still flock to join the Phoenix Sect?!” Tang Yushi’s face reddened with anger, gritting teeth, seeming utterly unwilling.

”Enough.”

Bai Nanxing waved his hand, smiling, ”Do you really still have the nerve to be angry? We initially set up the Phoenix Sect. If we had collected the Lifeblood Gold Blood like the Phoenix Sect did, we wouldn’t have even a tenth of the people joining the Holy Spirit Palace now, believe me?”

”I know...”

Tang Yushi forced a bitter smile, ”In fact, I was just venting; I hold no grudge against the Phoenix Sect. After all, the survival of my Holy Spirit Palace’s disciples is thanks to Sect Master Su. I remember this. I just cannot understand why, knowing the Phoenix Sect takes the Lifeblood Gold Blood, they still choose to join it?”

”Three reasons.”

Bai Nanxing said, ”The first reason is that the four million who joined the Phoenix Sect earlier did not die, putting the minds of later joiners at ease.”

”The second reason is that joining the Phoenix Sect grants them the Kunpeng Sacred Body. You know how powerful this cultivation technique is, don’t you? And Su Han has many tactics at his disposal. Besides the Kunpeng Sacred Body, there’s also the Five Divine Guard Corps and the Three Great Legions. Everything they cultivate is given by Su Han. If I were in their shoes, I would also wonder if joining the Phoenix Sect might give me the chance to become part of the Five Divine Guard Corps or the Three Great Legions.”

”The third reason, and the last one, is Su Han’s personal charm.”

At this point, Bai Nanxing paused and continued, ”I must say, Su Han’s personal charm is something even this old man finds hard to rival. When the Phoenix Sect clashed with the Five Great Super Sects, many in the Phoenix Sect had just joined. Logically, their cohesion and loyalty shouldn’t be strong, but why did they willingly sacrifice themselves to defend the Phoenix Sect’s honor?”

”This point, I can’t comprehend, and neither can you all.”

Listening to Bai Nanxing’s words, everyone in the palace, except for Chen Dongli, including Tang Yushi and the other seven hall masters, was momentarily stunned.

”Is Su Zun’s personal charm really that strong...” Yuwen Zhongcheng murmured.

He couldn’t help but recall everything that had happened from meeting Su Han to the present.

It seems... even he himself has this inexplicable respect for Su Han.

”I heard that when the Five Great Super Sects besieged the Phoenix Sect, some disciples were trapped by the Heavenly Network Plan, their cultivation lowered, left only to be slaughtered.”

Tang Yushi paused, then said, ”At that time, the other members of the Phoenix Sect had already retreated, but Su Han stormed alone into the light barrier unleashed by the Sage’s Skull. He didn’t have the strength he has today, and if not for the Eastern Ancestor’s intervention, he would likely have long been dead.”

”Yes.”

Bai Nanxing looked at Tang Yushi, ”That’s Su Han’s personal charm. You couldn’t manage it, and neither could the other sect masters.”

Tang Yushi’s face instantly flushed red with shame and self-reproach.

Bai Nanxing spoke no wrong; he couldn’t do it, no one could!

”Imagine a sect master willing to risk his life for ordinary disciples in the sect. How strong would these disciples’ cohesion and loyalty be?”

Bai Nanxing glanced at Tang Yushi again and said, ”So, don’t complain here. Perhaps when you possess Su Han’s kind of personal charm, the number of people joining the Holy Spirit Palace might increase.”

”Then I should just resign now...” Tang Yushi muttered.

”Hahaha...” Bai Nanxing and the others burst into laughter.

...

As for the Phoenix Sect, Liuyun personally came to report excitedly, ”Sect Master, would you believe it if I told you the number of our Phoenix Sect disciples has surpassed one hundred million?”

Su Han glanced at Liuyun, ”Get back to cultivating.”

Liuyun: ”...”
