Chapter 1220: Beneath the Conspiracy (7 Updates!)
It's obvious that Mu Tianhe's words were just a joke, and no one took them seriously.
After the Hua Hai Sect, some Fourth-Rate and Third-Rate Sects surprisingly joined the Phoenix Sect.
As for the Holy Spirit Palace, it's understandable that they wouldn't join.
It's worth mentioning that another branch of the Guu Family also joined the Phoenix Sect.
Since then, the Phoenix Sect's numbers have rapidly surged.
Previously, with the Xuanyuan Clan and Guu Yan, there were about seven million people. Despite heavy losses in the battle, about six million three hundred thousand remained.
And now, with the addition of the Palace of the Holy Maiden, Hua Hai Sect, and other forces, the Phoenix Sect's numbers have skyrocketed to over nine million seven hundred thousand!
Only thirty thousand away from ten million!
What does this mean?
The Top Ten Super Sects have about twenty million disciples each. Although the Phoenix Sect can't compare now, when it comes to the Dragon God Realm, the Phoenix Sect surpasses them by far.
Even in the Dragon Emperor Realm, the Phoenix Sect is not less than any Super Sect.
The reason it hasn't reached the level of a Super Sect is because the Phoenix Sect... does not have a Dragon Venerate!
The Dragon Venerate Realm is the strongest foundation for any pinnacle power. For example, the Holy Spirit Palace has three Dragon Venerates.
If the Phoenix Sect also had three in the Dragon Venerate Realm, the sect's rank would immediately be elevated, becoming the eleventh Super Sect on the Dragon Martial Continent!
"Soon..."
Su Han raised his gaze, seemingly able to see the Sect of the Battle God, Sword Immortal Tomb, and other Super Sects through the Group of Extraterritorial Demons.
In the depths of his eyes, absolute coldness resided.
He is determined to eradicate the Five Great Super Sects. This grudge cannot be resolved peacefully. To honor those who died for the Phoenix Sect, they must be destroyed!
"You didn't lie."
Nangong Yu softly said beside Su Han, "You once said that the Phoenix Sect would become a Super Sect in less than fifty years. Now, less than half that time has passed."
"Do you believe me now?" Su Han smiled.
Nangong Yu immediately rolled her eyes at Su Han, "I've always believed you; otherwise, I wouldn't have defied my father's orders to come with you here."
Upon hearing this, Su Han's body trembled slightly, and he sighed inwardly.
Nangong Yu's feelings had already been clearly expressed; how could he not know?
But emotions are indeed complicated matters.
He did have a fondness for Nangong Yu, but it was certainly not the love he felt for Xiao Yuran and Xiao Yuhui.
Perhaps it was just a simple liking.
...
"Hahaha, it is wonderful and gratifying that everyone has arrived safely!"
At this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came from the direction of the clusters of palaces.
Accompanying the laughter were hundreds of people.
At the forefront was an elder who, upon arrival, released an aura at the Dragon Emperor Realm Peak!
"He is called Nihility Delusion, a loose cultivator from the Northern Wilderness Territory." The Eastern Ancestor transmitted to Su Han.
Su Han slightly nodded. A strong figure at the Dragon Emperor Realm Peak, just below the Four Ancestors of Loose Cultivators, he had heard of this person.
As Nihility Delusion and his group arrived, everyone frowned slightly.
Wonderful and gratifying?
Just before, they had fought bloodily against the Extraterritorial Demons. It's impossible that Nihility Delusion and his group didn't see it, and now that they've finally reached safety, they come to congratulate.
What's so wonderful? What's so gratifying?
Of course, although they were dissatisfied, this place is, after all, the Cultivator Alliance. Nihility Delusion and his group had been entrenched here for a long time, with solid foundations. Engaging in conflict now wouldn't be wise.
"I am Nihility Delusion, and I assume the Eastern Ancestor has informed Su Zun."
Nihility Delusion descended, first nodding to the elder and middle-aged man from the Holy Spirit Palace, then looking at Su Han, clasping his fists and smilingly saying, "I've long heard of Su Zun's strength, and now I finally see the truth. As expected, he's worthy of the reputation, naturally possessing some skills to be so renowned."
"Senior is the true strong one. Compared to you, where does my Dragon God Realm cultivation stand?" Su Han smiled and said.
"Hahaha, there's no need for pleasantries. After experiencing life and death crises to reach this place, you must be exhausted. Why not come with me to the Cultivator Alliance's station for a good rest?" Nihility Delusion suggested with a laugh.
"Then I'll trouble the senior." Su Han clasped his fists.
Among these forces, aside from the Dragon Venerate Realm elder and middle-aged man, the only one qualified to speak for them was undoubtedly Su Han.
And after the battle, the elder and middle-aged man had their bodies shattered and were resting their Primordial Spirits. No one objected to Su Han speaking.
Following this, everyone slowly followed Nihility Delusion towards the cluster of palaces.
Behind them, apart from the angry roars of the Extraterritorial Demons, there were the cold gazes of the Cultivator Alliance...
...
In the ten thousand layers of the Hall of Dragon Guardians, Blood Venerable opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly penetrating through the myriad layers of the palace, seeing Su Han and his group approaching.
"They've finally come, huh?"
Blood Venerable squinted his eyes, blood-red light shimmering within.
He took out a Blood Crystal and directly tossed it into his mouth, slowly crunching it with crackling sounds.
"This boy is lucky, having so many people to protect him. Initially, I thought that even if he reached here, he'd be heavily injured."
"Even so, the boy won't escape Blood Venerable's grasp." An elder nearby laughed.
"Indeed."
Blood Venerable coldly laughed, took out another Blood Crystal and crushed it before saying, "Give the order to prepare the Blood God Formation. Once I begin dealing with this boy, you will activate the formation to trap the others."
"Yes."
The two elders nodded simultaneously, one of them saying, "Although the Blood God Formation is stable, among these people, there are those at the Dragon Emperor Realm Peak. Might there be..."
"No need to worry; could they possibly break through it? Even if they truly could, by the time they succeed, I will have already devoured the boy."
Waving his hand confidently, Blood Venerable said, "Within the Blood God Formation, none can escape except those at the Dragon Venerate Realm. And those two Dragon Venerates are down to just their Primordial Spirits, their strength greatly diminished, unable to withstand a single blow. As for the others, I don't take them into account at all."
"If not for the cursed Dragon Martial Intent sealing most of my power, with my Seventh Grade Void Heaven Realm cultivation, swallowing an insignificant Dragon God Realm would be instantaneous, not requiring such schemes."
"Once you devour the boy, you can break through the confines of this place and enter the starry sky. At that time, your cultivation will fully recover," the elder said beside him.
"Hahaha, the thought excites me."
Blood Venerable laughed loudly, "Thirteen thousand years, and finally, I've awaited this opportunity! Rest assured, once I leave, I will find a way to take you out of here."
"Thank you, Blood Venerable."
The other two elders immediately bowed in gratitude.
