Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 1024 - 1023: Obstruction?

After Nangong Duanchen left, inside the grand hall, there were no other familiar faces for Su Han except Nangong Chenfeng.

After chatting casually with Nangong Chenfeng for a few moments, everyone dispersed.

Everyone left the grand hall, leaving only Nan Hong, Zhou Yu, and Su Han behind.

"Do you still want to mess with my brother?"

Standing at the entrance of the grand hall, Nan Hong turned and said to Su Han with a cold sneer, "This is the One Slash Palace, not your Phoenix Sect. Not to mention me, but even my brother alone holds immense prestige among the Disciples on the Disciple Mountain in the One Slash Palace. If you want to make a move on him, you’d better ask if those disciples agree!"

"Is that so?"

Su Han smiled faintly, "If they want to stop me, let them come."

After saying this, Su Han thought for a moment and added, "Of course, it would be best if you also come to stop me. I am quite curious to see what qualifies you, the second-ranked disciple of the One Slash Palace, to speak with such confidence."

"I will certainly make a move, as long as you dare come."

With a cold snort, Nan Hong left the grand hall.

"Sect Master Su, although Nan Qing is also a Direct Disciple of the Palace Master, in terms of cultivation base, he is nothing much. However, this Nan Hong..."

Zhou Yu spoke up, pondering slightly, "To be honest, even if Sect Master Su truly wants to trouble them, it’s best not to do it here. The One Slash Palace people are quite united."

"Is that so?"

Su Han glanced at Zhou Yu, "Would you stop me as well?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"I wouldn’t. This is a grudge between you and them, and it has nothing to do with me."

Zhou Yu shook his head, "But Nan Hong is right. Whether it’s him or his brother Nan Qing, they both have immense prestige on the Disciple Mountain. Many disciples flatter and fawn over them, and if Sect Master Su tries to make a move on them on the Disciple Mountain, those disciples would certainly intervene."

"It’s fine, thanks for the warning."

Su Han said calmly, then turned around and headed straight out of the grand hall.

...

One Slash Palace, Disciple Mountain.

The Disciple Mountain of the One Slash Palace is divided into four levels: Outer Sect Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, Pinnacle Disciple, and Direct Disciple.

According to the rules of One Slash Palace, Outer Sect Disciples are not allowed to step into the Disciple Mountain of the Inner Sect Disciples, and Inner Sect Disciples are not allowed to enter the Disciple Mountain of the Pinnacle Disciples.

However, it is different for the Pinnacle Disciples; they can enter the Disciple Mountain of the Direct Disciples. Sometimes, those Direct Disciples give lectures, allowing the Pinnacle Disciples to gain new insights.

The Direct Disciples are not only the Direct Disciples of Nangong Duanchen; there are also some from the Elders, Protectors, and even the other three Palace Masters, including Nangong Chenfeng, among them.

According to rumors from the outside world, there are thousands of Direct Disciples in the One Slash Palace, and the Palace Master, Nangong Duanchen, himself has twelve Direct Disciples.

Among these twelve Direct Disciples is Nan Qing, who ranks eighth.

Zhou Yu was not wrong. As a Direct Disciple of Nangong Duanchen, Nan Qing’s identity, status, background, and aptitude are incomparable to ordinary people. Even some Outer Sect and Inner Sect Elders show courtesy to him because, barring accidents, he is destined for great achievements.

The other disciples are the same. Even the Direct Disciples of other Elders and Protectors curry favor with Nan Qing. His personality is malicious, and once offended, he will at least make the offender suffer severely, if not create a never-ending vendetta. Nangong Duanchen dotes on his Direct Disciples, and no one dares to say anything against it or provoke them.

At this moment, on the Disciple Mountain of the Direct Disciples, Nan Qing stood in front of a Cave Mansion. In front of him stood hundreds of people.

Among these hundreds, the majority were Pinnacle Disciples, while the others were a dozen Direct Disciples.

From the expressions on their faces, it was clear that these people were all aligned with Nan Qing.

"Su Baliu has come to the One Slash Palace?"

Nan Qing’s face turned cold as he snorted, "Still wants to find trouble with me?"

"According to Senior Brother Nan Hong, that is indeed the case."

A Pinnacle Disciple said, "Senior Brother Nan Hong asked me to report this to you. He himself has returned to his Cave Mansion to gather other disciples and will come soon."

"Hmph, still daring to find trouble with me on the Disciple Mountain of the One Slash Palace? Su Baliu really is tired of living!" A cold light flashed in Nan Qing’s eyes.

"According to Senior Brother Nan Hong..."

The Pinnacle Disciple paused slightly and then said, "Although the Palace Master is aware of this matter, it seems he will not intervene. Today’s outcome depends on you, Senior Brother Nan Qing."

"No need for Master to step in."

Nan Qing waved confidently, "It’s just Su Baliu. If I need Master to come out for this, I don’t deserve to be his Direct Disciple!"

"Su Baliu will have to pass through the Outer Sect, Inner Sect, and Pinnacle Disciples before reaching this Disciple Mountain. Pass my order: as soon as Su Baliu appears, disciples from my Nan Qing lineage should immediately obstruct him. I want to see if he, Su Baliu, has the ability to pass through the Disciple Mountain!"

"Yes."

The Pinnacle Disciple answered adoringly and immediately went to spread the order.

"Su Baliu?"

Nan Qing looked into the distance, sneering, "Indeed, a resentful guy, but you messed with the wrong person. I, Nan Qing, am not the trash from other Sects!"

...

While Nan Qing was giving orders, Su Han had already left the Nightwalk Palace and was heading straight for the Disciple Mountain.

He had already guessed that Nan Qing must have known he had come to the One Slash Palace and that Nan Qing would certainly try his best to obstruct him, but Su Han was unafraid.

As long as the Elders and Protectors of the One Slash Palace did not intervene, and the strong ones of the One Slash Palace did not block his path, Su Han had no concerns about these disciples.

Besides, not all disciples are aligned with Nan Qing. Among the many Direct Disciples of Nangong Duanchen, and other top Direct Disciples, some are bound to have grievances against Nan Qing. Su Han refused to believe that this vast One Slash Palace, with thirty million disciples, could all be under Nan Qing’s sway.

All the Disciple Mountains are located in Moon-Watching Mountain, while Wangyang Mountain is where the higher-ups of the One Slash Palace stay.

An hour later, Su Han arrived at the foot of Moon-Watching Mountain.

Looking up, a mist shrouded the mountainside of Moon-Watching Mountain. The path leading to the top of the mountain was not wide, but entirely paved with stone steps. As Su Han’s gaze swept over, it seemed he could see many eyes standing on either side of the path of Moon-Watching Mountain, looking towards him.

"Really planning to stop me?"

Su Han frowned slightly, then smiled, shook his head, and stepped forward, heading straight for Moon-Watching Mountain!
