Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

"Let's go."

Seeing the shock on everyone's faces, Nihility Delusion seemed very satisfied, showing a proud smile and gesturing for Su Han and the others to follow him.

There was a large gate atop the city wall, and everyone entered through it.

Around the various palaces, many figures stood, clasping their fists towards Su Han and the others, smiling warmly, appearing very friendly.

In response, Su Han and the others clasped their fists as well, returning the gesture.

However, from the depths of these people's eyes, Su Han saw an indescribable coldness.

Coldness indeed!

This kind of coldness was reminiscent of the Cultivation Alliance members on the fringes of the Barren Land during the battle with the Extraterritorial Demons, the same coldness as when they looked at us!

Why is it like this?

Do they dislike us? Or for some other reason?

If they truly dislike us, why do they smile and appear so friendly?

They... are pretending!

Su Han had lived a long life and seen countless expressions. What these expressions concealed, he didn't know, but they knew what those expressions meant.

"It feels safe here, but in reality, it's not truly safe at all!" Su Han sighed inwardly.

Despite knowing the danger, he had to be here; apart from the Barren Land, every other place on the Dragon Martial Continent was more dangerous than this.

...

After walking for about two hours, darkness completely fell, and the roars of the distant Extraterritorial Demons could be heard clearly, even from afar.

It seemed as if they covered the sky itself.

"This is the place."

Nihility Delusion's figure suddenly stopped, smiling at Su Han and the others, "This is the resting place prepared for you all. Although there's no Spiritual Energy inside, it's decent enough to rest; please, make yourselves at home."

"How could we possibly mind?"

Su Han smiled, clasping his fists, "We must thank you, Senior, for bringing us here."

"What's there to thank for?"

Nihility Delusion widened his eyes, "At this moment, we are comrades in adversity, with the Extraterritorial Demons as our common enemy. If Sect Master Su really feels indebted, perhaps consider owing me a favor, how about that? Hahaha..."

Su Han smiled but did not continue the conversation.

"By the way."

Nihility Delusion pointed to some of the palaces, "The area has already been divided for you all. For instance, that section in the east is the resting area for the Phoenix Sect, while the western section is for the Holy Spirit Palace. Other factions also have their own allotted areas. I hope you can restore your Cultivation Base and heal your wounds for the future battles against the Extraterritorial Demons."

Su Han looked up at the palaces, and noticed that there were figures in between the north, south, east, and west palaces. These figures seemed like they were there to receive them, but to Su Han, they felt as though they were deliberately separating them.

"Senior, our Phoenix Sect doesn't have many people; a large area isn't necessary. Perhaps we could share with the Holy Spirit Palace, how about that?" Su Han suddenly suggested.

"How could that be okay?"

Nihility Delusion immediately replied, "Feel free to use the space; even the Cultivator Alliance finds it hard to fill such a large area. We built so many palaces precisely so you have a place to rest. There are other palaces available, so why crowd together? If more people arrive later and there's no room, perhaps then Sect Master Su can squeeze in with other factions; you won't mind the trouble then, will you?"

"Rather than being troubled later, we might as well be a little inconvenienced now. I think our Phoenix Sect should still stay with the Holy Spirit Palace," Su Han laughed again.

Nihility Delusion's face immediately darkened, exactly as it did before.

Behind Su Han, many people frowned, puzzled as to why Su Han was being so stubborn.

They could clearly have a more spacious area, so why opt for crowding?

"Actually, Sect Master Su's suggestion isn't without merit. Combined, the Holy Spirit Palace and the Phoenix Sect amount to only two million people, and this area is spacious enough," at this moment, Bai Nanxing also spoke.

"Well... Senior, please don't make it difficult for me."

Nihility Delusion clasped his fists towards Bai Nanxing, then smiled wryly, "In my opinion, it's the same as yours, but... the Cultivation Alliance is composed of numerous factions, making management very challenging. You are newcomers; if unnecessary trouble arises, it will be hard for me too!"

"Of course, I mean nothing by it. Please stay in your designated area."

Bai Nanxing frowned but remained silent.

"By the way."

Nihility Delusion added, "Although the factions are divided, there is a special area for those above the Dragon Emperor Realm, which is probably the same as in your original factions, right?"

Many people nodded immediately; the Dragon Emperor Realm holds a very high status, and naturally, the place they stay isn't comparable to places for those below that realm.

Before Su Han and Bai Nanxing could speak again, Nihility Delusion called for the other factions and led them away.

In the end, only the people of the Phoenix Sect remained there.

Su Han truly did not want to create any conflict with the Cultivation Alliance at this moment; this was their territory after all, and speaking with such confidence must mean they have their strategies.

"Do you have a plan?"

Seeing Su Han stand there in deep thought, the Eastern Ancestor couldn't help but send a message telepathically.

Su Han was silent for a moment, then looked at the Eastern Ancestor, Northern Ancestor, and Xuanyuan Qiong, sending a message telepathically, "Master, Xuanyuan Clan Leader, remember to protect the Blazing Wine I've given you."

Since joining the Phoenix Sect, Su Han had given Xuanyuan Qiong some Blazing Wine and explained its use to him.

Hearing this, the three were stunned, quickly frowning.

Especially the Eastern Ancestor, who remembered clearly that when the eight Demon Venerate Level Extraterritorial Demons appeared, he wanted to speak up and suggest using the Blazing Wine.

But Su Han interrupted him twice and gave him a deep, meaningful look.

Finally, even when the old woman at the Holy Spirit Palace self-destructed and both Bai Nanxing and Chen Dongli's bodies shattered, the Eastern Ancestor didn't drink the Blazing Wine.

He suddenly understood now; perhaps Su Han didn't let him speak deliberately back then!

This was a strategy known only to the four of them.

Thankfully, they didn't use it before; otherwise, if they ran out, today, even if Su Han gave them more, it wouldn't be as secretive because they were in the Cultivation Alliance, under someone else's roof.

"Look up," Su Han sent another telepathic message.

The three of them looked up in confusion, seeing only a sky full of dust.

"In that dust, there's a pair of eyes," Su Han took a deep breath.
