Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

"Divine Sect..."

Listening to the news from his subordinates, Lian Yuze sat in the grand hall and couldn't help but force a smile.

"They're quite interesting. Phoenix Sect is fine as it is, insisting on calling it Divine Sect," Hong Chen also shook his head, showing helplessness.

"According to what people below say, it's because the Phoenix Sect has created countless legends, especially the Sect Master, who can be hailed as a god-like figure, and we have many heavenly talents in the Phoenix Sect, abnormal like divine spirits, which is why they say 'Divine Sect'..." Liuyun said while eating a common wild fruit, smiling as he spoke.

"Never mind, let them say what they will."

Lian Yuze looked at Hong Chen, "By the way, Captain Hong, did you personally lead the team to meet the Ye Family? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"The Ye Family is still guarding the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain, so not everyone will come. However, Ye Longhe and Ye Longchen, the two brothers, will be coming," Hong Chen replied.

"Alright then." Lian Yuze nodded.

In the following time, everyone was busy with their tasks.

They were truly very busy.

As the First Elder of the Phoenix Sect, Lian Yuze not only had to instruct the creation of the Sect Order but also manage the Sect and take charge of matters related to the Sect Residences of the Phoenix Sect in other places.

Over the years, both in the Central Domain and the Four Great Territories, the Phoenix Sect has established several Sect Residences, primarily to easily recruit disciples and to exploit resources in other territories.

Although others manage those places, certain issues still require Lian Yuze's approval.

As for Liuyun and others, they are not idle either, being busy with cultivation or dealing with other matters.

The promotion of the Phoenix Sect made them feel proud and honored, but it was followed by endless troubles.

Many times, they would turn their heads to look at a particular place in the palace group of the Barren Land and sigh.

"Alas, the Sect Master surely knows how to be a hand-off shopkeeper."

In fact, it was indeed the case; since the day the Five Great Super Sects were completely vanquished, upon returning to the Barren Land, Su Han began his seclusion.

Until now, it has been seven years, and he still has not come out.

The operation of the Phoenix Sect was entirely handled by the people below, so calling Su Han a hand-off shopkeeper wasn't inaccurate.

Of course, nobody would sincerely say such a thing; the Phoenix Sect reached where it is almost entirely due to Su Han's efforts. Who dares to criticize him?

The only ones who might say something like that are people like Liuyun.

...

In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.

From the beginning of the Dragon Martial First Year until now, it has been ten years.

The operation of the Phoenix Sect has become completely smooth, and its status is deeply ingrained in everyone's minds on the Dragon Martial Continent.

On this day, Su Han finally came out of seclusion.

Without much fanfare, still dressed in white, with a frame thin like a scholar.

"Father!"

Upon hearing the news of Su Han's emergence, Su Qing and Su Yao hurried over.

In the ten years that have passed, they have completely shaken off their youthful immaturity and have grown into adults.

Su Qing looked sharp, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding a heroic aura.

Su Yao was even more beautiful, like a lotus in clean water, surpassing all other girls. Three years ago, there was a prevailing rumor that Su Yao was the number one beauty on the Dragon Martial Continent.

Of course, that might be flattery, but Su Yao indeed had no flaw in her appearance, seemingly crafted deliberately by Heaven and Earth, leaving people in awe.

Sometimes, even Nangong Yu would feel jealous, often saying, "Why is Su Han so ugly, but his daughter turned out so pretty?"

Others could only respond with wry smiles.

The only one who dared to say such things about Su Han was Nangong Yu.

After checking their cultivation base, Su Han was quite satisfied.

Both had already broken through the Dragon Emperor Realm, reaching the Dragon Emperor Realm Mid-Stage, and had opened their Imperial Domains.

Notably, Su Qing had indeed worked hard to catch up. Initially, his cultivation base was several realms lower than Su Yao's, but now he had quickly caught up.

In terms of talent, Su Qing was indeed stronger.

After joking with them for a while, Su Han returned to his room.

As it happened, Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran were also in seclusion, but it wasn't a crucial moment, so Su Han forcibly pulled them out from the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son and then...

Threw them on the bed.

...

After a night of passion.

The next morning, early in the day, before Su Han could finish resting, Lian Yuze was hollering outside the room.

"Oh my dear Sect Master, you've come out of seclusion, and you didn't notify us? We've been waiting for you so bitterly!"

"Stop sleeping and hurry out. Do you know how many things need your attention?"

"It's been ten years; don't you miss me at all?"

"Hurry up, or I'll have to break the door down."

Su Han: "..."

"Could that guy possibly have a thing for you?" Xiao Yuran teased with a light laugh.

"Get out of here." Su Han glared at her.

"Alright, alright, hurry and get busy. Over these years, Lian Yuze surely has been overwhelmed, barely having time to cultivate. Now that things have stabilized, you've enjoyed being the hand-off shopkeeper," Xiao Yuhui waved her hand, and a layer of light clothing settled on her fair, white body.

"We'll continue our seclusion. You had to drag us out," Xiao Yuran pouted.

"It's been ten years; I'm still a man, okay?" Su Han said helplessly.

"Go quickly, or Lian Yuze will really break the door down." Xiao Yuran chuckled and then vanished with Xiao Yuhui into the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

After they disappeared, Su Han finally got up from the bed and opened the door.

At the moment it opened, Lian Yuze had his hand raised to knock, almost hitting Su Han's forehead.

"Uh..."

Standing there dumbfounded for a moment, looking at Su Han's slightly darkened expression, Lian Yuze muttered, "Could have told me earlier..."

"Knocking this early, can't a person sleep?" Su Han said.

"Sleep? I sleep your..."

Lian Yuze almost spat blood but quickly realized and said, "My dear ancestor, what sleep? We're all busy to death, can't you show some compassion?"

Seeing him like this, Su Han couldn't help but want to laugh.

"What's the matter?" Su Han asked.

"A lot of matters!"

Lian Yuze appeared so aggrieved he almost cried, "The resource allocation of the Phoenix Sect, sorting new disciples, assessing the strength of those applying for the Sect Order... aren't these issues?"

"You guys handle those. Tell me what's important," Su Han said.

Lian Yuze thought for a moment and said, "A few days ago, two First-Class Sects came to apply for the Super Sect Order."

"Apply for Super Sect?" Su Han was taken aback.
