Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1368: Time to Leave...

”With the Cold Cloud Sect as a backing, the Xiao Family is absolutely the first among the Four Great Families in Yuanshan County, even stronger than the current Han Family.”

Su Yunlie continued: ”Therefore, the Su Family forced Su Han to marry Xiao Yuran, because only through this marriage alliance could the Su Family be supported by the Xiao Family, gaining a chance to breathe.”

”But Su Han... refused.”

Su Yunlie revealed a bitter smile: ”Su Han’s character is as strong-willed as his father Su Yunming. If he doesn’t want to do something, no one can force him, no matter the method.”

”He refused, and the Su Family was enraged. In the end, they stripped Su Yunming of his position as Family Head, and expelled both Su Han and Su Yunming from the family.”

Upon hearing this, all the Su Family disciples paused in surprise.

No wonder...

No wonder none of the elders in the family ever spoke of anything related to Su Han, not even now when Su Han has become the Dragon Martial Master, they never mentioned it.

It turns out this is the reason!

To have expelled someone from the family back then, and now wanting to flatter them because they are powerful?

Clearly, Su Yunlie was not such a person.

If Su Han hadn’t come today, perhaps Su Yunlie wouldn’t have sought him out in his lifetime, even until the moment he meets the Yellow Spring.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but rather... he simply has no face left to do so.

”Afterwards, the Su Family never intervened in anything that happened to Su Han. Initially, they didn’t want to help, and later on, even if they wanted to, they couldn’t, because at that time Su Han had become extremely powerful. The God-Slaying Pavilion wielded astonishing might, sweeping through countless sects.”

”Although it was later destroyed by the Jade Void Palace, Su Han miraculously resurrected all the disciples killed in the God-Slaying Pavilion, and then rechristened it the Phoenix Sect, signifying the meaning of ’Phoenix Nirvana.’

”The gap between the Su Family and Su Han grew wider and wider. To put it harshly, in Su Han’s eyes, the Su Family was hardly even a speck of dust. A single disciple from the Phoenix Sect could easily wipe out the entire Su Family.”

”Until now, the Phoenix Sect has become a Divine Sect, subduing the entire Dragon Martial Continent, and Su Han has also become the Dragon Martial Master, unmatched by anyone!”

At this point, Su Yunlie paused, looking around at everyone with tears welling up in his eyes.

”Back then, Su Han may honestly have forgotten the incident, but how could we possibly forget? We really have no face to see him again! If he hadn’t come today, perhaps in my lifetime, I, Su Yunlie, would never mention the name ’Su Han,’ because coming from my mouth, it would tarnish that name.”

Su Zhe and others fell silent.

What Su Yunlie didn’t say was that, in fact, everything back then was orchestrated by the two brothers Su Yunchen, and he was merely instigated.

”Let the past be the past, Family Head,” Su Zhe softly spoke.

”Yes, I’ve figured it out as well.”

Su Yunlie said: ”Though I committed a great mistake back then, now, I don’t have much time left to live, even with this old face, I must make a trip to the Phoenix Sect, at least from a bloodline perspective, Su Yunming is my biological brother.”

...

Three days later, the Su Family disciples sold off all of the Su Family’s assets, and under the personal escort of a middle-aged man in the Early Stage of the Dragon Venerate Realm, headed to the Phoenix Sect.

From then on, they settled in the Phoenix Sect.

The Su Family as a family would no longer exist.

Another month later, Su Han finally set out.

...

On this day, Dragon Martial was shaken, countless gazes looked up to the sky, staring at that slightly frail figure in white, their eyes red.

That was the Dragon Martial Master...

On this day, it was the Dragon Martial Master’s departure from the Dragon Martial Continent to the starry sky.

His figure wasn’t towering, yet standing above the void, everyone across the Four Great Territories and the Central Domain could see him clearly.

Leaving the Dragon Martial Continent wasn’t a secret. Previously, at Su Han’s grand wedding, Liuyun had revealed this matter.

Currently, the bloodline awakening of the Xuanyuan Clan’s Battle Clan has greatly enhanced their power, sufficiently securing the complete safety of the Phoenix Sect.

So even if Su Han departs, no one will pose any threat to the Phoenix Sect anymore.

Therefore... it was time to go.

”Father...”

Su Qing and Su Yao stood on the ground, tears streaming out uncontrollably.

Their faces were filled with reluctance.

Nangong Yu, Yun Qianqian, Xiao Yuhui, and Xiao Yuran...

They stood there just the same, but unlike the others, they didn’t speak, merely stood quietly.

Whenever tears threatened to flow from their eyes, they would evaporate them using the power of cultivation, repressing their sorrowful emotions, endeavoring not to show it.

Because they worried that Su Han would see their reluctance, would see their tears.

They didn’t want Su Han to have any concerns before leaving, as that would only cause impacts later.

”Farewell, Sect Master!”

”Farewell, Sect Master!!”

”Farewell, Sect Master!!!”

From the main department of the Northern Wilderness Territory, to the divisions in the Xiliang Territory, Eastern Heaven Realm, South Sea Territory, and... the Central Domain division!

Hundreds of millions of Phoenix Sect disciples kneeled on both knees at this moment, eyes red, shouting hoarsely.

For the disciples of the Phoenix Sect, Su Han was like a god.

Because he was powerful, at the absolute pinnacle of the Dragon Martial Continent, leading the Phoenix Sect to its present state.

Yet apart from that, they felt that Su Han was like a friend.

Though many had not interacted with Su Han, and had never seen Su Han’s true face, that sense of closeness rose from the depths of their hearts.

Su Han had said more than once before, throughout a cultivator’s life, they should not worship heaven and earth, nor kneel to anyone, only to their parents!

Even if Su Han appeared in person, he did not allow any of his disciples to kneel.

But today, they were all kneeling on the ground, and even on both knees.

This was not about dignity, nor anything else, but merely because they wanted, wanted to offer one bow to Su Han!

And this time, Su Han did not stop them, merely stood there quietly watching.

When he lowered his gaze, besides the endless figures below, it seemed as though the souls of the deceased Phoenix Sect disciples were also raising their heads, smiling, kneeling down toward him.

Parting is always so difficult to bear.

Su Han looked around, seeing Nangong Shenqing, seeing Nangong Duanchen, seeing Xu Huo from the Sect of Peace, seeing Yuan Tianfeng from the Divine Transformation Pavilion.

Also Liuyun, Lian Yuze, Shangguan Mingxin, Hong Chen, Hong Yu, Purple Demon King Shen Li, God Slaying King Ling Xiao, and... and...

Faces passed before his eyes, each appeared so familiar and so dear at this moment to Su Han.

So familiar that it shook his heart and soul, so dear that his body trembled, eyes turned red!

Why haven’t I felt like this before?

The scenes of the past continued to unfold in Su Han’s mind.

Suddenly, Su Han felt that these mere decades seemed even longer than those billions of years in his previous life...
