Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 832 - 831: Ignore Warnings, You’ll Definitely Regret It!
Chapter 832: Chapter 831: Ignore Warnings, You’ll Definitely Regret It!
Understand?
Nonsense, of course I understand, and hell, I understand all too clearly!
Except for the One Slash Palace and the Jade Void Palace—which doesn’t even belong to the Dragon Martial Continent—all other Super Sects took at least two thousand years to become First-Class Sects.
But the Phoenix Sect... took just seven years!
The difference between the two is like heaven and earth. How can anyone compare?
Even the fastest, One Slash Palace, took thirty years. If we calculate by multiples, their time was four times more than Phoenix Sect’s. From the perspective of speed, the gap is equally astonishing.
"Do I even need to elaborate on potential?" Dragon Martial Intent said casually.
Du Yuehui and the others were rendered completely speechless, yet they remained unconvinced. Deep in their hearts, they believed that the Phoenix Sect—even though acknowledged by One Slash Palace as a First-Class Sect—did not possess the actual strength to be truly considered First-Class.
"If you still refuse to submit, speak your mind," Dragon Martial Intent said again.
The crowd fell silent. Whether they were willing or not, they understood that Dragon Martial Intent was intentionally favoring the Phoenix Sect. Although they couldn’t fathom the reason, it didn’t prevent them from retreating inwardly.
As for Du Yuehui, Yuani Ling, Moo Qinghai, and the rest, they exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and finally heard Du Yuehui speak: "Dragon Martial Intent, though the Phoenix Sect’s growth speed is indeed extraordinary, we juniors firmly believe they don’t truly deserve the title of a First-Class Sect. Every First-Class Sect has Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouses presiding over it, but the Phoenix Sect lacks even one. Their Sect Master, Su Baliu, is only at the Early Stage of the Dragon God Realm!"
"Indeed."
Yuani Ling chimed in, "A sect without Dragon Emperor Realm experts cannot be considered First-Class, no matter how strong it is. Let alone ascending to the status of a Super Sect in the future."
Dragon Martial Intent fell silent, and the quiet reverberation startled everyone present. Du Yuehui and her companions felt a renewed sense of triumph, their mocking smiles reemerging.
"So, after saying so much, you want me to take back the Supreme Pass, right?" Dragon Martial Intent finally broke the silence.
"We don’t question your decision per se, but the Phoenix Sect truly isn’t qualified to hold the Supreme Pass!" Du Yuehui said gravely.
"Bullshit!"
Nangong Chenfeng erupted in fury, shouting, "Du Yuehui, oh, so it’s just you folks who are worthy of obtaining the Supreme Pass, right? You’re worthy? Then why didn’t you shine in the Sect Competition? You’re worthy? Then why did you get beaten to the point of looking like bumbling fools by the Phoenix Sect? You’re worthy? Then why didn’t you secure a respectable ranking? From my perspective, it’s pure jealousy. Super Sect? Super crap!"
"Your argument is simply logical while Nangong Chenfeng resorts to insults. Can you present concrete proof that justifies the Phoenix Sect’s eligibility for the Supreme Pass?" Du Yuehui sneered.
"I..."
"Enough."
Nangong Chenfeng was about to continue when Dragon Martial Intent interrupted. Its gaze fixated on Du Yuehui and swept over Yuani Ling and the others, then it spoke again.
"If you claim the Phoenix Sect isn’t qualified to receive the Supreme Pass, then you yourselves aren’t qualified to hold the Second-Level or Third-Level Passes either."
"Do my words ring true?"
Du Yuehui and her companions’ expressions suddenly shifted, their furrowed brows deepening.
They couldn’t fathom why Dragon Martial Intent would say such a thing. Based on their sect rankings and their contributions to the Dragon Martial Continent, receiving Second-Level or Third-Level Passes wasn’t unreasonable, was it?
Could Dragon Martial Intent truly intend to blindly support the Phoenix Sect?
"Junior does not understand why you would say this..."
Du Yuehui hurriedly opened her mouth to respond, but Yuani Ling suddenly seemed to recall something. His face shifted dramatically as he immediately said, "Junior understands."
"Understand what?" Du Yuehui asked irritably. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Yuani Ling shot her a sideways glance and transmitted a message: "The first stage of the Sect Competition... the Sage’s Skull."
Upon hearing this, Du Yuehui’s pupils instantly contracted, and she drew in a deep breath before saying, "Junior understands now as well."
What a joke—during the Ancient Battlefield stage, the Phoenix Sect showcased monstrous strength and outright swept away all five of their Super Sects. If not for covertly increasing the number of Sage’s Skulls available, they wouldn’t have even qualified to participate in the second stage!
And without that qualification, they wouldn’t even enter the top hundred ranks in the Sect Competition. At that point, forget Second-Level and Third-Level Passes, even Fifth-Level Passes would be out of reach!
Du Yuehui, in her desperate attempt to reclaim the Supreme Pass from the Phoenix Sect, totally lost sight of this crucial fact. If not for Yuani Ling’s reminder, she still wouldn’t grasp it until now.
Clearly, Dragon Martial Intent was referring to this!
Compared to their own sect’s cheating methods, what does the Phoenix Sect’s entitlement to the Supreme Pass even matter?
Dragon Martial Intent simply chose not to expose the full truth, perhaps in consideration of the fact that they are all Super Sects—the ten iconic strongholds of the Dragon Martial Continent, whose status remains unshaken and essential for leading its people forward.
What they didn’t realize was that Dragon Martial Intent withheld another truth—that the Phoenix Sect indeed possesses Dragon Emperor Realm experts!
"I don’t have much time, so I’ll keep my words brief,"
Dragon Martial Intent saw that Du Yuehui and the others had grown silent, pondered for a moment, and spoke slowly, "Here’s a warning for you all... I repeat, it’s a warning, not advice. Understand?"
"Understood!"
A multitude of voices answered in unison, for Dragon Martial Intent’s remark was clearly directed at everyone present.
"The Dragon Martial Calamity looms over us; catastrophe is on the brink of erupting. At such a time, you should unite against external enemies rather than destroy one another. Otherwise, the consequences are beyond what any of you can bear."
As it spoke, its gaze swept over Yuani Ling and others again, the warning in its eyes unmistakably intense.
Yuani Ling and company, under its penetrating stare, felt their hearts beat uneasily. Inwardly, they speculated: Could Dragon Martial Intent be alluding to their plans to kill Su Baliu?
"You’re free to ignore my warning, to go your own way as before. I won’t stop you,"
Dragon Martial Intent continued, "But you will surely regret the choices you make."
"Buzz~"
As its voice fell, the enormous form of the Shadow of the True Dragon suddenly emitted a humming sound. Shortly thereafter, its body grew dimmer, increasingly translucent, until finally transforming into a ball of golden light that returned to the towering True Dragon Statue.
The plaza fell into silence as everyone stared at the scene, each lost in their own thoughts.
