Free Web NovelChapter 2158: Chapter 2157: The Army Presses In
The following morning, the Phoenix Sect mobilized!
A billion disciples, grand and imposing, departed from various Teleportation Formations.
The overwhelming scene, akin to a swarm of locusts, was both awe-inspiring and frightening.
Wherever they passed, cultivators on any planet, whether powerful forces or loose cultivators, were terrified and made way.
They saw clearly that all these people wore the same kind of garment.
The colors of the garments varied, but they all bore a lifelike giant phoenix engraved upon them.
In the radius of nearly ten thousand stars, the only sect with such garments was none other than the Phoenix Sect!
The might of the Phoenix Sect swept across the eight directions and was already famous far and wide.
"What are they planning to do?"
"Such a grand formation... it seems they’re planning to launch an assault on some force again!"
"With the current strength of the Phoenix Sect, can any sect possibly warrant them dispatching such an array?"
"Could it be... the Immortal Sun Sect?!"
"Oh heavens, is the Phoenix Sect finally going to launch an attack on the Immortal Sun Sect?"
"Come to think of it, the Phoenix Sect’s expansion has been so fast, yet they have always skirted around the Immortal Sun Sect. For the Phoenix Sect, the Immortal Sun Sect is a major threat, a thorn in their side, that must be removed."
"The Immortal Sun Sect was once the largest sect within the radius of nearly ten thousand stars! It houses twenty billion disciples, and its Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master are all Fusion Realm experts. Can the Phoenix Sect truly be their match?"
"There have always been rumors that although the Phoenix Sect’s strength is formidable, there is no existence of Fusion Realm beings, which is why they were extremely cautious of the Immortal Sun Sect and never acted. But this time, could they have hired a Fusion Realm expert? After all, even if the Phoenix Sect possesses Fusion Realm individuals, it would merely be First Grade, not reaching Second Grade so quickly. However, the Sect Master of the Immortal Sun Sect is a terrifying Second Grade Fusion Realm expert!"
"I know why! Because... the Phoenix Sect Leader has returned!"
"Huh? Phoenix Sect Leader? Could he be a terrifying existence comparable to the Immortal Sun Sect Leader?"
"Who knows? Whether it’s the Immortal Sun Sect or the Phoenix Sect, to us, they are untouchable entities. The fight between immortals is beyond our understanding..."
...
As they traveled, numerous discussions echoed behind them.
Su Han and Ling Xiao, along with others, led at the front, their expressions cold and their pace rapid.
In this battle, the Phoenix Sect’s Sixteenth Divine King, had dispatched only three individuals.
Ling Xiao, Ye Xiaofei, and Shen Li.
All were Martial God Kings, while Liuyun and others did not accompany them.
With the current strength of the Phoenix Sect, they could completely overwhelm the Immortal Sun Sect, making it unnecessary for everyone to come. After all, some had to remain as guardians of Phoenix Star.
Immortal Sun Star was about thirteen hundred stars away from Phoenix Star.
If it were only Su Han and a few others, they could reach it within half a day.
But now, with a billion disciples following, even with various Teleportation Formations at the fastest speed, it took several days.
When the Phoenix Sect’s army pressed forward, blanketing most of the Immortal Sun Star, a large number of disciples emerged on Immortal Sun Star.
Clearly, the Immortal Sun Sect had already received the news.
Chengg Yu wasn’t foolish.
Nowadays, there was no other force besides the Immortal Sun Sect that could compel the Phoenix Sect to deploy such a terrifying formation.
Moreover, the Immortal Sun Sect wasn’t without spies. From the Phoenix Sect’s route of march, Chengg Yu already knew the Phoenix Sect’s target was the Immortal Sun Sect!
The starry sky was dark, with a billion silhouettes standing, their aura emitting and coalescing into a storm that swept across all directions.
Opposite them, Immortal Sun Sect disciples had grim expressions filled with killing intent, gazing toward the Phoenix Sect.
"Swish swish swish..."
Many figures rushed out from within Immortal Sun Star, all familiar faces.
"Sect Leader Chengg, long time no see."
Su Han looked at Chengg Yu and spoke mildly.
When Chengg Yu appeared, his expression remained calm, showing neither joy nor anger.
However, when his Divine Sense swept over and perceived Su Han’s cultivation base, which had broken through to the Third-Grade Divine Sea Realm, his originally calm expression immediately darkened.
Third-Grade Divine Sea Realm!
Placed on anyone other than Su Han, Chengg Yu wouldn’t mind.
Not to mention Third-Grade, to Chengg Yu, even Seventh-Grade Divine Sea Realm was no different from First Grade Spirit Transformation Realm, they were all just ants.
But Su Han, wasn’t like other cultivators; he was Su Han!
Chengg Yu could never forget Su Han’s terrifying battle power before.
A total of five Fusion Realm experts, including himself as a Second-Grade Fusion Realm, combined defense, yet still, under one arrow from Su Han, three were severely injured, and an elder of the Immortal Sun Sect at First Grade Fusion Realm was killed!
And at that time, Su Han was only at Second Grade Divine Sea Realm!
Breaking through to Third-Grade now, without a doubt, his battle power would exponentially increase again, which is why Chengg Yu’s expression was somber!
"Sect Master Su."
Chengg Yu looked at Su Han, first clasping his hands in greeting, appearing very courteous.
Then he spoke, "With such a formation surrounding my Immortal Sun Star, could it be the Phoenix Sect intends to wipe out my Immortal Sun Sect?"
"No, no, Sect Leader Chengg is overthinking."
Su Han smiled faintly and said, "My sect is here today only to request a few people from the Immortal Sun Sect."
"Request people?"
Chengg Yu furrowed his brows, "What people?"
"A few years ago, several members of our Phoenix Sect’s Regiment of the Divine Guardians of the Dragon Suppression, along with dozens of ordinary disciples, disappeared while passing through Immortal Sun Star. According to the traces and clues our Phoenix Sect investigated, they should have entered the Immortal Sun Sect, or... they were captured by the Immortal Sun Sect!"
Su Han’s eyes slightly narrowed, with a faint, mysterious smile, he said, "Though they indeed had some talent, and perhaps Sect Leader Chengg greatly appreciated their potential, it wouldn’t be right to keep them without even a word, would it?"
"Sect Master Su is overthinking."
Chengg Yu said, "We have never seen any Phoenix Sect people here in the Immortal Sun Sect, how could we keep them?"
"If Sect Leader Chengg insists on saying so, then my sect has no choice."
Su Han said firmly, "Anyway, my sect is here for people today. If your Immortal Sun Sect can’t produce them, that’s your problem!"
"Nonsense!"
The middle-aged man beside Chengg Yu said, "To impose guilt, what is difficult in finding faults? We at the Immortal Sun Sect have never laid hands on your Phoenix Sect’s people. If they died, they are just dead; can we miraculously make a few living people appear for you today?"
"Living people?"
Su Han’s expression suddenly turned icy, "How do you know they are already dead?"
The middle-aged man’s face changed, instantly realizing he had slipped!
The people Su Han mentioned were naturally captured by their Immortal Sun Sect and subjected to the Soul Searching Technique, eventually killed.
At this moment, they were just deliberately refusing to admit it!
...
...
ps: Let me explain here, there was an error earlier, failing to mention Ye Xiaofei being granted a title. Damn it, damn it.
South Mountain has already corrected it, the previous text has also been modified, Ye Xiaofei’s title is Ascended Divine King.
