Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

"Who could know?"

Su Zhe shook his head and said, "Whether it's the Bliss Demon Venerable, the Dragon Martial Master, or the Divine Sect, they are far beyond our reach and not something we can come into contact with."

"So, it's just after-dinner chat!"

Lin Jia said, "According to the rumors, the Bliss Demon Venerable is the strongest in the entire South Sea Territory, existing for tens of thousands of years, with a cultivation base that has reached the peak of the Dragon Venerate Realm. But the Dragon Martial Master at that time seemed to only have a mid-stage Dragon Emperor Realm cultivation base, so how could he possibly defeat the Bliss Demon Venerable?"

"Ahem, let me say something..."

Su Zhe suddenly lowered his voice and said to Su Han and Lin Jia, "I think you're all exaggerating the Dragon Martial Master a bit. Although he is indeed formidable and admirable, think about it: can a mid-stage Dragon Emperor Realm defeat a Dragon Venerate Realm at its peak? These are some false words spread by others to show respect for the Dragon Martial Master after the Dragon Martial First Year commenced."

"I think so too."

Lin Jia nodded and said in a low voice, "It's even uncertain whether the Bliss Demon Venerable ever fought with the Dragon Martial Master in the first place. As the strongest in the South Sea Territory and a loose cultivator, there's hardly any relation with the five great super sects, so why help them?"

"Tacit understanding!" Su Zhe said with a mischievous grin.

"Su Han, what do you think?" Lin Jia looked at Su Han.

"Hmm?"

Su Han was taken aback, "Think about what?"

"Whether this rumor is true or false!" Lin Jia said.

Su Han pursed his lips and smiled, "Rumors are just rumors; if you believe them, they are true, and if you don't, they are false."

"Tch~"

Lin Jia and Su Zhe both rolled their eyes at Su Han.

Just as the three were enjoying their conversation, a large group from the Great Mysterious Sect walked towards the deck.

Their target was clear: Su Han and the others.

"What's the matter?"

"It's clearly that young man they're going after, isn't it? Even after giving up a cabin space, they're still causing trouble?"

"Alas, without backing, one gets bullied!"

Watching the people from the Great Mysterious Sect, other loose cultivators on the deck sighed softly.

As they spoke, the people from the Great Mysterious Sect had already reached Su Han's group.

Young Master Xuan didn't even glance at Su Han, focusing intently on Lin Jia with an invasive gaze.

Being stared at like this, Lin Jia felt a surge of fear, her face paling slightly as she reflexively took a step back, standing behind Su Han.

"Get out of the way." Young Master Xuan frowned and ordered.

Su Han lifted his head, made eye contact with Young Master Xuan, but remained silent.

"The young master told you to get out of the way, did you not hear?"

A middle-aged man in the God Realm immediately stepped forward, his aura surging, ready to make a move at any moment.

"Do you believe I won't throw you into the sea to feed the fish?"

"Ahem ahem..."

Su Zhe cleared his throat and hurriedly said, "Esteemed seniors, we're all out here to have fun, there's no need to make this so tense. Let's do this: today, I'll treat everyone; all your ice waters are on me, how about it?"

As he spoke, Su Zhe's face showed a pained expression.

Thousands of people—a bottle each is thousands of Spirit Stones. How long would it take him to earn those Spirit Stones back?

"Get out of here, this is not your place to speak!"

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man waved his hand, pointing at Su Zhe, "Did I speak to you? Get lost if you don't want to die."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhe's face darkened, "Gentlemen, my Su Family is a reputable family within the Eastern Heaven Realm. Though we're far from South Sea Territory..."

"Are you threatening me?"

Before he could finish, Young Master Xuan interrupted.

"Hahaha, is he threatening me?"

"Courting death!"

"He's sick of living!"

"As if a noble young master of the Great Mysterious Sect like me can be threatened by you?"

The others from the Great Mysterious Sect joined in the jeering.

Su Zhe fell silent. He had only been bluffing, not expecting these people to be so unyielding.

"People!"

Young Master Xuan waved his large hand, "Cripple those two and throw them into the sea for the fish!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, someone stepped forth, ready to move against Su Han and Su Zhe.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

At that moment, dozens of people approached from afar, led by an elder exuding the aura of the Dragon God Realm.

"Young Master Xuan, isn't this going too far?" the elder said.

"I'm not involving your people, why are you interfering?" Young Master Xuan frowned.

"Our Dragon King Pavilion has always been in the service industry. If you can just kill on this ship at will, who would dare come again in the future?" the elder said.

Young Master Xuan squinted, evidently apprehensive of the Dragon King Pavilion.

"Fine, consider yourselves lucky!"

Young Master Xuan snorted, paused in his steps as he turned to the elder, "Are you satisfied now? After we disembark, when this young master kills them, will you have any objections?"

The elder didn't respond, which was a silent acquiescence.

As for Young Master Xuan, he turned back to look at Su Han and Su Zhe, "You two, wait until we disembark!"

"I'll be waiting." Su Han suddenly spoke up.

"Hahaha, truly fearless like a newborn calf, hahaha..."

Young Master Xuan laughed heartily as he left the deck with the Great Mysterious Sect's people.

After they left, Lin Jia said to Su Zhe, "Thank you."

"No worries." Su Zhe forced a smile, though his eyes were somewhat gloomy.

It was clear that a grudge had been formed, and once they disembarked, the people of the Great Mysterious Sect would certainly cause trouble for him.

Su Han understood Su Zhe's thoughts and said, "Don't worry."

Su Zhe gave Su Han a sidelong glance without saying anything.

Lin Jia remarked, "Why didn't you say that before the Dragon King Pavilion's strongmen appeared? Now that there's no danger and the Great Mysterious Sect people dare not touch us, you find your courage?"

Upon hearing this, Su Han was stunned.

He had simply not wanted to bicker with this group from the Great Mysterious Sect; how had it turned into lacking courage?

No wonder Su Zhe looked slightly off; he seemed to have an issue with him!

"Rest assured, I'll make sure nothing happens to you two," Su Han said.

"Pah, what's the use of acting tough now!"

Lin Jia snorted, turned, and left the deck.

Watching her back, Su Han shook his head helplessly.

Su Zhe stayed silent for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, "Su Han, you don't need to mind it. Women tend to be petty; I'll go coax her."

With that, Su Zhe started chasing after Lin Jia.

As he chased, he turned back to Su Han and said, "Don't overthink it. I have no problem with you; I'm just worried about what will happen after we get off the ship. Don't overthink it!"
