Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1287: Chapter 1286: Is This the Reason?

The two hours of wasted time, the pride, mockery, and even disdain on those geniuses’ faces, were all evident.

Many could see it clearly, but even though they were unwilling in their hearts, they couldn’t be the one to stand out.

Finally, Emperor Wu finished introducing everyone, and after the introductions, something ridiculous happened.

The people from the Five Great Super Sects actually applauded simultaneously, with such fervor it seemed they wanted to break their own hands.

Applauding?

This was almost an act forgotten by people, especially for someone like Emperor Wu, who was at the Dragon Emperor Realm Late Peak, leading the applause.

However, people from the Sect of Peace and Divine Transformation Pavilion still gave him some face, applauding lightly a few times.

Only the people from One Slash Palace, along with Su Han, Shen Li, and Ling Xiao, sat there as if seeing nothing.

They stood out like a crane among chickens, immediately catching the eyes of those geniuses.

Xu Que’s gaze first fell upon One Slash Palace, directly heading towards Nangong Duanchen.

”You must be Nangong Duanchen, right?” Xu Que asked.

”Yes.” Nangong Duanchen replied coolly.

Xu Que squinted slightly, a cold light flashing through, but he didn’t pursue it further, instead looking at Su Han.

”And who are you?”

Su Han didn’t even open his eyes, no answer came forth.

It was Emperor Wu who frowned slightly and said to Xu Que, ”Young Master Xu, that’s Su Baliu.”

”Oh?”

Xu Que immediately became interested: ”You’re Su Baliu, the one who survives multiple sieges, resilient as a centipede?”

Shen Li and Ling Xiao’s eyes immediately turned towards Su Han, who waved his hand, silencing them.

He finally opened his eyes, looked at Xu Que, and repeated word by word, ”Yes, I am the Su Baliu who was besieged multiple times without dying, resilient as a centipede.”

”Haha, quite a strong fate.”

Xu Que chuckled, then withdrew his gaze and addressed everyone: ”I’ve heard that the Dragon Martial Conference shouldn’t have been convened at this time, it’s earlier than planned, hope you won’t blame me?”

”No blame.”

The Sect Master of the Sect of Peace, Yin Xingci, smiled, while others remained silent.

”That’s good, because convening the Dragon Martial Conference this time, is beneficial to all of us.” Xu Que smiled.

”Beneficial?”

Many showed interest upon hearing this.

The Pavilion Master of the Divine Transformation Pavilion asked, ”Young Master Xu, what are these benefits you mentioned?”

”Since you asked, I will explain briefly.”

Xu Que said: ”The current situation on the Dragon Martial Continent, you have all witnessed: natural and man-made disasters, extraterritorial demons invading, causing massive casualties, everywhere you go you see that overwhelming blood-red color, just the oppression alone makes heavy the heart.”

”What is our only solution now? It’s unity!”

The crowd looked puzzled, not knowing what Xu Que was getting at.

”What does unity mean? It naturally means coming together as one, using the power of the Top Ten Super Sects and other forces to resist the invasion of extraterritorial demons.”

”But how can we become one?”

Here, Xu Que paused, glanced at the crowd, and continued: ”In my opinion, if all the forces on the Dragon Martial Continent could form one entity, it would be the best outcome.”

”What?!”

At this moment, everyone suddenly looked up, incredulous at Xu Que.

What does this mean?

For all the forces on the Dragon Martial Continent to form a single entity?

Is this a... merger?!”

”Please, everyone, don’t be anxious, listen to me carefully.”

Xu Que waved his hand, signalling for silence, and continued: ”I know, you Super Sects have been around for a long time, each with your own domains, but that was in the past. You are well aware of the current situation on the Dragon Martial Continent, if this continues, how much longer do you think you can survive?”

”As time goes on, you’ll only be slowly eaten away by the extraterritorial demons, because your forces are too weak.”

”Have you seen the formations outside? It’s what I taught to Emperor Wu and his men.”

”According to my vision, establishment of a new entity is required, and you are just temporarily joining this force. Once the extraterritorial demons are thoroughly cleansed, and there are no more crises, you can leave at any time, what do you think?”

Everyone frowned deeply, especially the Sect Masters of the Super Sects.

They never expected the appetite of the Five Great Super Sects to be so large.

Leaving later? Is this a joke?

Once joined, leaving wouldn’t be so simple.

The Five Great Super Sects are currently allied with these so-called geniuses, wishing to unify all forces on the Dragon Martial Continent without bloodshed, it’s simply dreaming!

”Everyone, take a look, what is this?”

Seeing no one spoke, Xu Que flipped his hand and took out a Spirit Crystal.

”This item is called a Spirit Crystal, it’s countless times more effective than the Spirit Stones you have here. If used for cultivation, advancing to the Dragon Venerate Realm is extremely easy!”

Xu Que smiled lightly and added, ”As long as you are willing, I promise that for anyone above the Dragon Emperor Realm, each will receive a thousand Spirit Crystals, Sect Master Level will receive ten thousand, what do you think?”

Looking at the Spirit Crystal, everyone could feel its immense spiritual power, a single Spirit Crystal was more precious than countless Spirit Stones laid before them.

Yet, to simply agree, that was utterly impossible.

”Besides the Spirit Crystals, I can also bestow upon you formations, secret techniques, cultivation techniques, weapons from the starry sky, all things you’ve dreamed of but could never obtain.”

Xu Que’s voice conveyed once more: ”Trust me, even if you don’t agree now, there will come a day when you will, why not be like the Sect of the Battle God, who after agreeing benefited greatly, and have nothing to lose?”

After speaking, Xu Que toyed with the Spirit Stone in his hand, giving the crowd time to think.

At this moment, Nangong Duanchen suddenly turned to look at Emperor Wu and others.

”Did you convene on the Dragon Martial Continent today, and ahead of schedule, for this matter?” Nangong Duanchen asked.

Emperor Wu pursed his lips and said, ”Master of Nangong Palace, our sect knows One Slash Palace is strong, but no stronger than those extraterritorial demons, nor powerful than Young Master Xu and others, in my sect’s view...”

”Be quiet.”

Nangong Duanchen stood up directly: ”If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first, regarding whatever force you’re discussing, you can talk about it slowly here.”
