Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1280: The Arrival of Nangong Chenfeng

In the time that followed, Su Han was constantly making preparations.

One day, a person suddenly emerged from the Teleportation Formation; it was a middle-aged man dressed in the robes of One Slash Palace.

When the Phoenix Sect Disciple brought him to meet Su Han, his face showed a sense of nostalgia.

”In the blink of an eye, several years have passed...”

Nangong Chenfeng looked at Su Han, scrutinizing him from top to bottom, feeling something different about Su Han, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint what had changed.

As he was sizing up Su Han, Su Han could also see that Nangong Chenfeng’s Cultivation Base was at the Dragon Emperor Realm Peak.

However, this peak, like the Eastern Ancestor, had completely surpassed it but hadn’t reached the Dragon Venerate Realm. It belonged to the category in between the Dragon Emperor Realm and Dragon Venerate Realm.

Su Han couldn’t see it back then, but now, he could.

”Please take a seat, senior.”

Su Han stood up and cupped his fist towards Nangong Chenfeng.

He was always respectful to the strong of One Slash Palace and always courteous to the disciples of One Slash Palace.

Because this was One Slash Palace, a Sect that once mobilized nearly a million disciples to wholeheartedly assist Su Han!

Across the entire Dragon Martial Continent, the Xuanyuan Clan had already joined the Phoenix Sect. Besides the Phoenix Sect, the only one that had helped Su Han so immensely was One Slash Palace.

This kindness, forever remembered!

”Can you call me Uncle Chenfeng?” Nangong Chenfeng said with a smile.

Su Han immediately said, ”Uncle Chenfeng.”

”Haha...”

Nangong Chenfeng laughed heartily, then sighed, ”To me, several years’ time isn’t really long, but why does it feel like decades, hundreds, even thousands of years have passed when I look at you?”

Su Han remained silent.

”What is your current Cultivation Base?”

Nangong Chenfeng said, ”Don’t let me guess for myself. Though I can perceive your Cultivation Base, you, kiddo, can’t be compared to normal people at all.”

”Dragon Emperor Realm Mid Stage.”

Su Han said, ”The Cultivation Base I show is my true Cultivation Base.”

”Impressive.”

Nangong Chenfeng praised without holding back, ”It’s only been a few years, hasn’t it? From when you started moving until now, it hasn’t even been five years, right? Let’s count it as five years; I remember when you left, you were still at the Dragon God Realm. Whether it was later stage or peak, let’s not get into that.”

”In just a mere five years, you’ve gone from Dragon God Realm to Dragon Emperor Realm Mid Stage. Such a cultivation speed is... truly beyond our reach!”

You could hear in his words a mix of admiration and praise, but absolutely no envy.

In truth, not just him, anyone would feel this speed of cultivation is terrifyingly fast.

”No wonder the Five Great Super Sects fought to the death to kill you. Given a few more decades, you might reach the Dragon Venerate Realm,” Nangong Chenfeng added.

Su Han was silent again, but Nangong Chenfeng could feel the coldness emanating from him.

”How have you been these past few years?”

Nangong Chenfeng saw that Su Han wasn’t speaking and smiled, understanding what he was thinking.

”When I came out of the Teleportation Formation, I saw this vast complex of palaces. It’s immensely grand. How much manpower and resources must it have taken to create such a palace complex?”

”This wasn’t built by me, but by the Cultivator Alliance,” Su Han replied.

”Cultivator Alliance?”

Nangong Chenfeng furrowed his brow and said immediately, ”You didn’t tell me, and I forgot! Earlier, your Phoenix Sect disciple came to One Slash Palace and left quickly. I didn’t have time to ask. So, tell me now? Since coming to this Barren Land, has the Cultivator Alliance made things difficult for you? I’ve heard that the Holy Spirit Palace, Yun Family, Song Family, and other forces have all entered the Barren Land?”

”Yes.”

Su Han nodded and roughly recounted the previous events, though he didn’t mention his counterattack against the Blood Venerable.

It wasn’t much of a secret, after all. Many people saw the incident; Su Han just didn’t want to mention it.

After listening, Nangong Chenfeng’s eyes widened, staring at Su Han, his face filled with shock.

”You’re saying... the Phoenix Sect now has over a billion disciples? And all members of the Cultivator Alliance have been divided among you forces?”

”Yes.” Su Han smiled.

”This...”

Nangong Chenfeng couldn’t help but swallow hard, ”Over a billion disciples?!”

”Yes.” Su Han nodded again.

Nangong Chenfeng took a deep breath, looking at Su Han as if he were a monster.

A billion disciples, equivalent to the total of five Super Sects’ disciples, that’s simply unimaginable!

”I know the strength of your Phoenix Sect, but... is there no Dragon Venerate in this Cultivator Alliance?” Nangong Chenfeng asked again.

”There are, but one died, and the other two are still hiding in the Barren Land. I haven’t gone to find them yet,” Su Han replied.

Hearing this, Nangong Chenfeng’s pupils contracted sharply.

Su Han didn’t explicitly say it, but Nangong Chenfeng instantly understood the meaning behind Su Han’s words.

One dead, two hidden...

By whom were they killed? By whom were they forced to hide?

To say it was Su Han, Nangong Chenfeng was somewhat skeptical; his first thoughts went to Bai Nanxing and Chen Dongli!

But Nangong Chenfeng knew them too well; both were at Dragon Venerate Realm Early Stage, among the weakest in the Dragon Venerate Realm. How could they kill other Dragon Venerates? How could they force those of the same level to hide and not dare to show up?

Definitely not them!

Unless... unless in the forces currently in the Barren Land, there are other Dragon Venerates present, and under numerical suppression, those two Dragon Venerates from the Cultivator Alliance can only hide.

Nangong Chenfeng certainly didn’t know who it was. Su Han wasn’t saying, and given his Cultivation Base, he naturally couldn’t perceive it, nor would he dare to try.

After all, those are Dragon Venerates, the pinnacle of the Dragon Martial Continent, not entities others can randomly probe.

Even if he is Nangong Duanchen’s own brother, he still can’t!

”So it seems, the Phoenix Sect’s current number of disciples should rank first across the entire Dragon Martial Continent.”

After a long silence, Nangong Chenfeng finally sighed, ”Honestly, it’s not that I underestimated the Phoenix Sect. I truly never thought that a small sect with only a few dozen disciples back then could grow step by step to reach such heights today. I’ve always praised you, but it was merely the mindset of a senior looking at a junior, and now...”

”Asking you to call me Uncle Chenfeng seems somewhat excessive.”

”Excessive?”

Su Han looked up at Nangong Chenfeng, ”Even if I were to leave the Dragon Martial Continent, even if I were to stand at the peak of the starry sky, the kindness you showed me is enough for me to call you Uncle Chenfeng for this lifetime and beyond!”
