Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Along with Lian Yuze, they arrived at the central hall. There weren't many people here, just Su Han and Lian Yuze, as everyone else was busy with other matters.

As soon as Su Han sat down, Lian Yuze immediately took out a crystal stone, handed it to Su Han, and said, "Inside this are some sects that have applied for the Sect Order during this period, including several that have applied to become Super Sects."

Su Han took it, glanced at it roughly, and shook his head, saying, "I know these First-Class Sects. Their strength isn't sufficient, and their disciple count should not have reached the level of a Super Sect, so I do not agree."

"Alright, then will you look at the others?" Lian Yuze asked.

"There's no need to look at the others. You can send people to evaluate them." Su Han handed the crystal stone back to Lian Yuze.

With the annihilation of the Five Great Super Sects, naturally, five positions for Super Sects were vacated.

Su Han originally intended to have the Phoenix Sect directly promoted to the position of a Super Sect, but all cultivators of the Dragon Martial Continent disagreed...

They called the Phoenix Sect a 'Divine Sect,' placing it above the Top Ten Super Sects, as the strongest and the only absolute power on the entire Dragon Martial Continent!

It was from the Phoenix Sect that this 'absolute power' level began. Perhaps in the future, other sects might reach this level, but at this moment, only the Phoenix Sect has.

"Are these people exaggerating the Phoenix Sect a bit too much?" Su Han stroked his chin and said with a smile.

"If they are willing, let them be; we cannot control them."

Lian Yuze said helplessly, "Our Phoenix Sect has emphasized countless times that there is no need for such reverence, but they won't listen. However, to be fair, in terms of the number of strong individuals and disciples, our Phoenix Sect surpasses any sect. Even the One Slash Palace is far behind us."

"As for the top-grade experts, One Slash Palace may have Nangong Shenqing, but our Phoenix Sect also has a Sect Master who's been in closed cultivation for ten years!"

As he spoke, Lian Yuze looked at Su Han with anticipation, seemingly wanting Su Han to tell him what cultivation base he had reached after ten years of seclusion, equivalent to a hundred and fifty years in the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

Su Han's aura was completely restrained; at first glance, he seemed like an ordinary person. If he didn't want to, no one would be able to detect what level his cultivation base had reached.

Su Han glanced at Lian Yuze, clearly aware of his thoughts. He smiled slightly and did not speak directly, saying instead, "Although I have already emerged from seclusion, you still have to manage the various sect affairs for the time being, and perhaps for the future as well."

"What do you mean, Sect Master?" Lian Yuze was stunned.

Suddenly, he reacted quickly and immediately said, "Do you also want to be like Xiang'er…"

"Yes, more or less."

Su Han nodded, "After finishing dealing with the Dragon Ancestor and Bliss Demon Venerable, I should leave the Dragon Martial Continent. As for when I might return... I am not sure."

"This…"

For a moment, Lian Yuze didn't know what to say.

The implication from Su Han was clearly that his cultivation base had reached a certain level, which should have been cause for happiness.

But Lian Yuze felt no joy at all, instead feeling very low.

Sect Master... is finally leaving?

Indeed, one day he must leave, but why is it so difficult to accept when that day comes?

"I understand." After a long time, Lian Yuze spoke in a low voice.

Su Han couldn't help but smile, patting him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't be so down; I will return in the future, it's just a matter of time. Besides, the Phoenix Sect is already on track now, with numerous strong individuals within the sect, and it almost doesn't need me anymore. With you all managing it, I can rest assured."

"It's not a matter of whether you are needed but…"

Lian Yuze looked at Su Han, wanting to say something but ultimately swallowed it back, saying, "Well, you have your own plans. After all, man seeks higher ground, and water flows downward. I only hope that after you enter the starry sky, you won't face as many crises as you did on the Dragon Martial Continent, and be a bit safer."

"You, as the Phoenix Sect's First Elder, why are you acting like a woman?" Su Han gently breathed out.

The more he said this, the more Lian Yuze felt down, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Alright, haven't I still not left yet?"

Su Han thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, before I leave, I will promote you to Deputy Sect Master of Phoenix Sect. My father will also be promoted to Deputy Sect Master, but since he is getting old, many matters of the Phoenix Sect will still need you to oversee. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes." Lian Yuze nodded.

Though Lian Yuze's strength was not the strongest within the Phoenix Sect, his loyalty was undoubtedly among the best.

Over the years, Su Han could truly see that Lian Yuze would never betray; he remembered the kindness Su Han had shown him, and such a person was most worthy of entrustment.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now."

Su Han said, "You go handle your affairs first. Tomorrow, I will leave here to deal with Dragon Ancestor and Bliss Demon Venerable."

"Do you need me to notify the Xiliang Territory and South Sea Territory?" Lian Yuze asked.

"No need; it's not a big event, no need to make it so grand." Su Han shook his head.

The moment Phoenix Sect was revered as a 'Divine Sect,' Su Han became a legend.

Closed in; not appearing before the world for ten years, becoming even more mysterious like a Divine Spirit; once his identity is recognized upon appearing, it will cause a huge sensation.

Especially in the South Sea Territory and Xiliang Territory, most are newly recruited disciples who haven't seen Su Han. If informed, they might not do anything but just come to see Su Han.

...

After Lian Yuze left, Su Han was silent in the hall for a while, then picked up a crystal stone from the table.

This crystal stone was placed here by Lian Yuze, recording the current numbers of Phoenix Sect's disciples, strong individuals, resources, and so on.

After glancing at it briefly, Su Han gently breathed out.

"In ten years, has the Phoenix Sect achieved such a status?" he murmured softly.

The number of Dragon Emperor Realm experts now possessed by the Phoenix Sect, not counting the likes of Phantom Spirits, has completely surpassed one thousand, while the number of Dragon God Realm experts has reached over a million!

As for disciples… their numbers have increased twofold, reaching three hundred million!

Su Han had anticipated this result long ago, but when it truly reached this extent, it still felt somewhat emotional.

Thinking back on the Phoenix Sect when it was first founded with only dozens of people to the current moment, with decades of difference…

It truly is times have changed!
