Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2291: Chapter 2290: I’m Sorry

It was still the illusory grand hall, where Su Han sat, and Lian Yuze sat at the first seat below.

”Yuhui and the others, was the process of purchasing artifact refining materials smooth?” Su Han looked at Lian Yuze.

”This...”

Lian Yuze took a sip of tea, then said, ”Well, it went quite smoothly.”

”Really?”

Su Han stared at Lian Yuze and said, ”I feel, it wasn’t so smooth.”

”Why does the Sect Master think so?” Lian Yuze could not help but ask.

”Because I also asked Yuhui this question, and both your expressions... look rather unnatural.”

Su Han’s eyes flashed, and he said indifferently, ”Yuhui is sensible and never complains to me when she is wronged. As for you, I know you didn’t want to disturb my upcoming retreat, but as the Deputy Sect Master of the Phoenix Sect, you should still report what needs reporting to me.”

”Indeed, nothing escapes the Sect Master’s discerning eye...”

Lian Yuze sighed and said, ”In that case, I shall speak truthfully.”

”Alright.” Su Han nodded.

”After you retreated, Lady Yuhui took dozens of disciples of the Phoenix Sect, all entering the city where the Immortal Sword Sect is located using pseudo-bodies.”

”Within that city, they experienced unprecedented humiliation, and the son of the Deputy Sect Master of the Immortal Sword Sect, Xiaoo Hailong, appeared and said some unspeakable things to Lady Yuhui...”

”It was the same for Lady Yuran.”

”She went to the city where the Giant Spirit Sect is located.”

”Not only did the Giant Spirit Sect refuse to sell artifact refining materials, but the son of the Giant Spirit Sect Master also forcibly detained Lady Yuran. If it weren’t for the existence of the pseudo-body, leading to her self-destruction, she might have...”

At this point, Lian Yuze slightly raised his head.

Sure enough, Su Han’s expression was already extremely icy.

Lian Yuze knew that to Su Han, family was his true reverse scale!

To think Su Han would offend even the Divine Dream Sect over the matters between Su Qing and Du Xi, let alone when his own wives are insulted!

For a man, if he cannot even protect his wife, can he still be considered a man?

This isn’t some ridiculous vanity; it’s the most basic responsibility owed to family!

Although knowing that Su Han was not in a good mood at this moment, Lian Yuze still replied properly: ”As for Luo Ning, Yun Qianqian, and even Nangong Yu, though they weren’t physically attacked, they did face continuous sarcasm and extremely harsh words, forcing them to destroy their pseudo-bodies out of anger, resulting in the failure of the first attempt to purchase artifact refining materials!”

”After that, Lady Yuhui came up with a method, allowing the other three ladies to go to loose cultivators or small factions to buy artifact refining materials, while she and her sister continued visiting the Three Teachings, Nine Factions, and Seventy-Two Sects with the accompaniment of the Destruction Empress and Lord Holy Emperor this time.”

”I must say, Lady Yuhui is quite clever. This method made the purchase of artifact refining materials go much more smoothly.”

”This is basically what happened.”

After finishing, Lian Yuze stood up again and said, ”Sect Master, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave.”

”Alright, thank you for your hard work.” Su Han nodded.

Lian Yuze slightly pulled at the corner of his mouth and quickly left.

What a joke.

Su Han was currently in a rage, and if he said anything wrong, he’d surely get a beating. It was best to leave quickly.

And after Lian Yuze departed, Su Han’s expression completely darkened.

”It seems you really think the Phoenix Sect is easy to bully...” The sinister words, hoarse, slowly escaped Su Han’s mouth.

...

After being in retreat for so many years, Su Han was truly unaware of some events in the Phoenix Sect.

In the following ten days, Su Han briefly familiarized himself with the general strength of the Phoenix Sect.

The answer he found was extremely gratifying.

The Seven Great Divine Kings of the Battle Clan had all reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm, at First Grade Heavenly Emperor!

Ling Xiao and Ye Xiaofei excelled, becoming Heavenly Emperors with numerous Spirit Crystals.

Shen Li, at the peak of Dao Sovereign Realm, only needed a breakthrough opportunity.

Throughout the Phoenix Sect, in the 17,500 years within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, nine Heavenly Emperors were born, seventy-five Dao Sovereigns, and over thirty thousand... Fusion Realms!

Undoubtedly, eighty percent of them were from the Battle Clan!

The Battle Clan’s cultivation speed was terrifyingly fast, lacking bottlenecks, and with the Kunpeng Sacred Body, and the assistance of so many Blood Crystals, the speed of cultivation was akin to taking an energizing shot.

As for others, whether in magic, martial path, or immortal cultivation.

Even with sufficient Spirit Crystals, Demon Crystal Stones, and more, they faced bottlenecks in cultivation.

If they couldn’t achieve enlightenment, then a Realm might get stuck for a thousand years or even longer!

Overall, the Phoenix Sect had truly had an astounding enhancement over these seven years.

And this strength gave Su Han a very powerful confidence.

On the eleventh day, Su Han gathered some high-ranking members of the Phoenix Sect to discuss a series of plans.

...

On the morning of the next day, Su Han arrived before a house.

For so many years, the people of the Phoenix Sect always resided within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, naturally also constructing some of their own houses.

Apart from the Phoenix Sect’s conference hall, other places were generally ordinary houses, not luxurious.

And here...

Was the place belonging to Lin Fengjie and his mother.

”Swish swish swish...”

When Su Han arrived, he could hear the sound of the wind splitting in the yard.

Lin Fengjie was practicing swordsmanship.

He was also someone who used a sword and had been studying swordsmanship deeply, but here in the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, he couldn’t exhibit his cultivation base.

Madam Lin was sitting at a stone table nearby, watching Lin Fengjie with a smile, obviously very satisfied with her son.

Su Han pursed his lips and stepped inside.

Seeing Su Han arrive, Lin Fengjie immediately ceased practicing, and Madam Lin also stood up, saying, ”Sect Master Su is here.”

”Aunt.”

Su Han smiled at Madam Lin, then looked at Lin Fengjie, ”Practicing swordsmanship?”

”Yes.”

Lin Fengjie wiped the sweat from his forehead and seemed to avoid Su Han’s gaze.

”Mother, please prepare some tea for us.” Lin Fengjie said to his mother.

”Alright, wait a moment.”

Madam Lin nodded and then left.

Now, in the courtyard, only Su Han and Lin Fengjie were left.

They sat opposite each other at the stone table, and what was initially a lively conversation became somewhat silent.

”I’m sorry.”

After a long time, Lin Fengjie suddenly spoke.

And his words made Su Han raise his head to look at him.
