Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 562 - 559 What Use Do I Have for You?!

"Sect Master, what do you mean by this?"

Pang Feng looked toward Su Han, his gaze somewhat evasive, but he began to speak up, his voice firm.

Su Han’s gaze lightly swept over him and did not bother to respond.

The others were also unclear about Su Han’s intentions and began to whisper amongst themselves in the silence.

At this moment, the entire valley had been surrounded by people, with the older generation of disciples, who were complaining about unfairness, at the forefront, and the newly joined disciples around the perimeter.

These new disciples had never spoken a word; they simply felt grateful for the Phoenix Sect taking them in and nurturing them. They would comply with whatever command Su Han gave, without a second thought.

But the older generation of disciples were different. Initially, when they joined, their thoughts aligned with those of the ordinary disciples.

However, as time went by and greed took root in their hearts, they became accustomed to the state of having their needs easily met, to the point of entitlement. Now, with Su Han no longer providing cultivation resources for free, they felt wronged and dared to confront Su Han directly about the perceived injustice.

"Sect Master."

It was at this moment that Lian Yuze glanced at Pang Feng and then turned to Su Han, his voice grave, "The Blood Crystals that Pang Feng exchanged... there were five in total."

"What levels were they?" Su Han asked.

"Four were of Demon Disciple Level and one was of the Demon Horde Level," Lian Yuze replied.

"Wow!"

As these words were spoken, the crowd immediately erupted into uproar!

"So few?"

"Impossible, right? Although our Phoenix Sect doesn’t categorize disciples, Pang Feng is still one of the older generation of disciples, and he has reached the Dragon Pill Realm. How could he only hand over so few Blood Crystals?"

"This... this doesn’t make sense, does it?"

Many disciples began to talk, even those older generation disciples who had joined Pang Feng in claiming injustice turned their heads to look.

Pang Feng’s complexion immediately turned a shade of purplish-red, looking extremely embarrassed. freewebnσvel.cøm

"What do you have to say for yourself?" Su Han looked at Pang Feng, his expression still calm.

Pang Feng clenched his teeth and then, holding a fist to his chest, he said, "Sect Master, it’s not that I don’t want to hand over the crystals, it’s just... it’s just that this is all I’ve managed to obtain, and I’ve handed them all over!"

He believed that, since the Blood Crystals were in his possession, Su Han, even as the Sect Master, wouldn’t search his person in front of so many disciples, as that would dishearten them.

His words, once again, caused a stir among the crowd, clearly many did not believe he had only managed to gather so few Blood Crystals.

"Pang Feng, you must remember who you are facing at this moment!"

Lian Yuze’s expression darkened as he rebuked coldly, "To tell such smooth lies, don’t you feel any pricks of conscience? The Sect Master nurtured you to this level only for you to grow bold enough to lie to him?"

"I’m not lying!" Pang Feng shouted loudly.

He became even more convinced in his heart that Su Han would not search him; after all, could he search all the disciples, one by one?

"Besides, the Sect Master never said we had to hand over the Blood Crystals, that we had to exchange them for Contribution Value to the Sect!" Pang Feng added.

"Very well."

Lian Yuze was about to speak when Su Han nodded slightly and said indifferently, "I’m not concerned with how many Blood Crystals you have handed over or how many you have received."

Pang Feng’s heart skipped a beat, the ominous feeling inside him growing ever stronger.

The more Su Han said this, the more Pang Feng felt guilty. Perhaps others didn’t understand Su Han, but how could Pang Feng, the Sect Master, not understand him!

"Start from the time you joined the Sect," Su Han continued.

Turning to Lian Yuze again, Su Han said indifferently, "You should have the records."

Lian Yuze nodded, obviously aware of what Su Han wanted to know, and had long been prepared.

"Pang Feng joined the God-Slaying Pavilion at its inception with a Cultivation Base of Dragon Vein Realm, having opened four Dragon Veins," Lian Yuze said immediately.

His voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

"Three months after joining the Sect, he received a Cultivation Technique personally bestowed by the Sect Master, opened twenty Dragon Veins, used one hundred thirty Pills, consumed three thousand eight hundred fifty-eight Spirit Stones, and acquired one Low-Grade Silver Level weapon."

"Six months after joining the Sect, he broke through to the Dragon Blood Realm, used three hundred twenty-seven Pills, consumed nine thousand four hundred forty-four Spirit Stones, and acquired one Mid-Grade Silver Level weapon,"

"One year after joining the Sect..."

"Up to now, he has used a total of four thousand five hundred sixty-three Pills, nearly fifty thousand Spirit Stones, and obtained six weapons and three pieces of Defensive Equipment."

As these words fell, everyone present drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

No one had expected that Lian Yuze’s records would be so detailed.

With teeth clenched, Pang Feng shouted at Lian Yuze, "Grand Elder, you remember clearly, that is only right, but isn’t this what I am supposed to receive? I have used these resources, my Cultivation Base has already broken through to the Dragon Pill Realm, and I have not wasted them!"

Lian Yuze didn’t speak, only looked towards Su Han.

Everyone else also looked to Su Han, seemingly waiting for him to speak.

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Han said lightly, "These resources were indeed provided to you by our Sect, and you certainly haven’t wasted them, but tell me, what contribution should you, a being of the Dragon Pill Realm, make for the Phoenix Sect?"

Pang Feng startled, suddenly recalling what Lian Yuze had mentioned earlier, about him only exchanging five Blood Crystals.

It was at this moment that Su Han spoke again: "Extraterritorial Demons, with Demon Disciple Level equivalent to Dragon Vein Realm and Demon Horde Level equivalent to Dragon Blood Realm, you claim that these are all the Blood Crystals you have received. So now, tell me, as a mighty Dragon Pill Realm cultivator, in such a battle where two thousand of our Sect members have died, you have only killed four Dragon Vein Realm and one Dragon Blood Realm?"

"Tell me, as a cultivator of your level in the Dragon Pill Realm, what use are you to the Phoenix Sect?!"

The last sentence echoed throughout the entire valley, resonating in the hearts and minds of everyone present!

Pang Feng’s face turned ashen, and he stepped backward, feeling excruciating pain as the surrounding gazes pierced him like silver needles.

He finally understood why Su Han, knowing what he had received, didn’t pursue the matter further.

Because no matter what he did, Su Han had words waiting for him, as fundamentally... he was in the wrong!

"I..."

Pang Feng tried to speak again, but he couldn’t organize any effective words in the moment, nor could he think of any valid excuses or reasons to get past this lie.

At this moment, everyone else fell silent, their thoughts unknown.
