Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1513: Chapter 1512: Each to Their Own (4 Updates!)

Three days later.

The shore of the Green Spirit Lake was completely devastated.

Huge cracks had shattered the ground, forming pits here and there, each nearly a hundred meters deep. They were formed by the constant thrashing of the Rock Shark’s tail.

This entire void, still trembling with ripples, seemed on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

A Third-Grade Spirit Beast, yet comparable to a Fourth Grade Spirit Transformation Cultivator in power, its destructive force was evident.

Countless people realized just how formidable a Void Heaven Realm entity could be from experiencing the Rock Shark’s might.

The scattered limbs and broken bodies, along with the pervasive scent of blood in the air, marked the events that unfolded here.

At least a thousand people perished under the aimless destruction brought by the Rock Shark.

And that was because the Rock Shark was a spirit beast of the water, not of the land.

On land, its cultivation base decreased significantly, just as a cultivator’s strength diminishes in water.

Over these three days, the Rock Shark seemed to have exhausted its energy, its aura was gradually weakening.

Only in the water could it fully recover.

The aura of the Nine-Heart Lotus Seed had completely vanished.

The Rock Shark knew that the cursed human would never appear before it again.

As a spirit beast with spiritual wisdom, the Rock Shark would not remain here waiting and ultimately returned to the water, with its furious roars still echoing. Huge waves splashed from the surface.

...

Another three days passed.

As the aura of the Rock Shark completely dissipated, cultivators began to appear again.

Seeing the scattered limbs and broken bodies across the ground, many frowned.

Members of the Mercenary Group of the Heavenly Sea showed up here.

They knew what had happened six days ago.

And from others’ rumors and descriptions, the one who provoked the Rock Shark... was clearly Su Han!

They were worried, yet with the Rock Shark around, they didn’t dare to show up.

It wasn’t a question of willingness to help Su Han, but rather they simply couldn’t!

With the Rock Shark’s cultivation base, coming here would be nothing short of suicide.

”Where did that fellow go?”

Luoo Ning’s perfect figure caught many people’s attention, and several men gave her strange looks.

Normally, Luoo Ning would show a disdainful expression, but not at this moment as she was searching for Su Han.

As the people from the Mercenary Group of the Heavenly Sea arrived, an elder also slowly approached from afar.

”Such deep-seated hatred?”

The elder muttered to himself: ”Even risking near death to eliminate those few? Not satisfied with harming them, but also insisting on killing them...”

His aura was concealed, but his appearance unchanged. Luoo Ning had seen him when Su Han bought the map.

”Rumor has it that two people provoked the Rock Shark, one an elder, and the other a man in white. Could this elder... really be him?” Luoo Ning pondered.

Her mind worked quickly.

Before leaving, Su Han had clearly stated he was searching for the Nine-Heart Lotus, the map for which was sold to him by this elder. More crucial, the elder was present when the Nine-Heart Lotus was provoked!

Thus, it’s over eighty percent likely to be this elder.

”Since the Rock Shark has returned, why is he still here?”

Luoo Ning glanced at the elder, hesitated slightly, then walked forward.

Seeing Luoo Ning, the elder’s eyes lit up.

Luoo Ning frowned slightly, thinking, ”At his age, to still have such filthy thoughts?”

Suppressing her disdain, Luoo Ning slightly bowed and said, ”Senior, could you have had a hand in this occurrence?”

The elder was momentarily surprised, then exclaimed, ”What do you mean by my involvement? You’re spouting nonsense; it was all caused by that trouble-making guy, nothing to do with me.”

”So it is him!”

Luoo Ning immediately confirmed and asked, ”Does Senior know where he went?”

”He’s watching you all right now!” The elder rolled his eyes.

Luoo Ning was momentarily perplexed by the elder’s remark.

”Hurry up and come out, do you still want your spirit crystals?” The elder addressed the sky.

Seeing this, many eyes followed the elder’s gaze.

”Cough, cough...”

Under the gaze of many, a light cough came from the void.

As the cough fell, Su Han’s figure in white slowly appeared.

”Su Han!”

Luoo Ning’s expression showed joy, and she quickly approached.

She carefully examined Su Han and asked worriedly, ”Are you okay? That was a Third-Grade Spirit Beast; I thought you were dead...”

”Always hoping for my demise, you’d only be satisfied if I truly died.” Su Han muttered.

”No such thing!”

Luoo Ning stomped her foot and explained, ”I’m just concerned for you!”

”I know.”

Su Han habitually patted Luoo Ning’s small head, then nodded toward Wang Chui and others, before walking up to the elder.

”Where’s the Lotus Throne?” The elder asked bluntly.

”Where are the spirit crystals?”

Su Han replied, ”Oh, and also the favor.”

”Honestly, with your trouble-making nature, I really don’t want to do you any favors, wishing to sever ties right now. Otherwise, who knows when you might trouble me too.” The elder said.

Su Han replied speechlessly, ”They brought it upon themselves; I wasn’t the one seeking trouble initially.”

”Let’s step aside to talk.”

The elder led Su Han away until they were out of Wang Chui and others’ sight and then stopped.

”Seriously, are you really just a disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion? I recall the pavilion... seems not very reputable?”

”Yes, yes, nowhere near as illustrious as your grand power.”

Su Han scoffed and then said, ”We’ve been through life and death together; will you tell me your identity?”

”No.”

The elder shook his head, ”No more nonsense; first, hand over the Lotus Throne.”

Su Han flipped his palm, passing over a storage ring.

”The Lotus Throne is inside.”

”Inside are spirit crystals and a jade token. When you need to repay this favor, use the token to convey a message to me, and I’ll be there.” The elder said.

Su Han swept his divine sense over the ring and indeed found a jade token inside.

Besides the token, there was a large quantity of spirit crystals, numbering not the originally agreed 2,000,000, but... 2,500,000!

”I see you really are sincere!”

Su Han showed a sudden realization, smiled, and said, ”You know I wasted some treasures, right? So you’re compensating me with these spirit crystals? I like people like you; I’m definitely befriending you!”

”Buzz off, the extra 500,000 spirit crystals are for your cultivation within the ring. It’s one day for 10,000 in the outside world, totaling fifty days. If it’s not enough, tell me.”

Su Han: ”...”
