"Alright..."
A moment later, Mu Shenling gently extended her hand, placing it on Su Han’s shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
"You know, I’m just conveying the Starry Alliance’s intention, not siding with them."
"I understand."
Su Han nodded lightly, his expression gradually returning to a state of calm.
He turned his head to look at Mu Shenling, suddenly smiled, and said, "Men and women should keep their distance, you should stay away from me."
"Ungrateful!"
Mu Shenling glared at Su Han, immediately withdrew her hand.
But in her eyes, there was a hint of joy flashing past.
She could see that Su Han had genuinely calmed down.
Being able to consider everything meticulously in such a short period and ultimately choose the most correct path, even Mu Shenling had to admire him.
"Of course, although the Starry Alliance expressed this intention, they have not officially conveyed any orders yet."
Mu Shenling pursed her lips and said, "That is to say, they are not as domineering as imagined, you still have a chance to fight for some benefits for the Phoenix Sect."
Upon hearing this, Su Han’s eyes brightened.
Mu Shenling, she had hidden meaning in her words!
Indeed—
As Mu Shenling waved her hand, a crystal appeared.
That crystal shattered with a bang, miraculously transforming into a pitch-black entrance.
A moment later, an elder walked out from that entrance.
His aura was restrained, but with Su Han’s cultivation base, he could sense that it was at the Peak of the Sub-Immortal Level, like a Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void!
Behind this elder, there was a middle-aged man.
This person, Su Han had seen before.
Mu Shenling’s father, Emperor Mu Hua!
Upon seeing these two people, Su Han was slightly startled.
Immediately, he understood the elder’s identity.
The highest leader stationed in the Lower-Class Star Region by the Starry Alliance, Mu Shenling’s grandfather!
Decades ago, when Dark Sorcerer Supreme and others ambushed Xuanyuan Qiong and his companions, due to insufficient numbers of strong individuals, Su Han had asked Mu Shenling for help.
At that time, Mu Shenling had called upon this elder.
Therefore, Su Han owed them a debt of gratitude.
The elder walked out from the entrance, slightly cupped his fists, and smiled, saying, "Mu Yi, meeting Sect Master Su."
"You are a senior, how can you perform such a ceremony, it’s really overwhelming for me!"
Su Han hurriedly stepped forward, held the elder’s arms with both hands, and gently helped him up.
"Neither arrogant nor impatient, humble and modest, is a true dragon among men."
Mu Yi was evidently very satisfied with Su Han’s demeanor, and the smile on his lips grew even more pronounced.
"Mu Hua, meeting Sect Master Su."
After him, Emperor Mu Hua also slightly saluted Su Han.
Su Han felt a bit troubled and smiled wryly as he helped him up as well.
To be honest, with Su Han’s current status, identity, and battle power, he had the qualifications for Mu Yi and Emperor Mu Hua to pay such respects.
But speaking of which, these two, one is Mu Shenling’s father, and the other is her grandfather, and they have both helped him before.
Even Emperor Mu Hua, during the Heavenly Talent Competition, had once used words to intimidate other Sect’s Heavenly Talents.
With such gratitude, how could Su Han let them perform such a grand ceremony?
"Please have a seat, both of you."
Su Han gestured towards the chair beside him, and after they were seated, he raised his voice and said, "Someone, serve tea!"
Mu Yi nodded slightly, looked at Mu Shenling with a teasing expression, "Little girl, say what should be said, but don’t speak recklessly about what shouldn’t be said!"
"Where did I speak recklessly? I followed the instructions!" Mu Shenling feigned ignorance.
"Still talking!" Emperor Mu Hua glared at her.
"Why are you glaring? You think I’m afraid of you!" Mu Shenling widened her eyes even more.
Emperor Mu Hua’s facial muscles twitched a few times, but eventually, he still had no way to deal with Mu Shenling.
Hot tea was served, white steam rising, the aroma of the tea filled the air.
"Great tea!"
Mu Yi sipped it, smiled, and praised.
"You flatter us, senior."
Su Han pondered slightly, then continued, "The intentions of the Starry Alliance, Shenling has conveyed clearly to me, though I am unwilling... I have no choice."
"Flexibility is a virtue of a great man."
Mu Yi nodded, sipped the tea again, seemingly finding it even more delightful.
"However, senior should know my character, those twenty thousand disciples of mine did not die for nothing!" Su Han’s tone shifted.
"Hmm?"
Mu Yi frowned, "On the side of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, didn’t nearly two hundred million people die? Isn’t it enough to have a thousandfold number of people accompany them in death?"
"They deserve their death!"
Su Han’s expression was calm, but his tone was extremely cold, "Senior surely knows, if not for the Starry Alliance suddenly intervening, they would have lost more than just these two hundred million."
"What else do you want then?"
Mu Yi shook his head, "Sect Master Su, the Starry Alliance will not tolerate any threats, even though the Phoenix Sect is now the first Sect of the Lower-Class Star Region, do you understand?"
"I never intended to ask the Starry Alliance for anything, the sins committed by the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects should be repaid by themselves." Su Han said.
"Then say what you wish."
Mu Yi concluded, glaring fiercely at Mu Shenling.
What he wanted to convey was merely the intention of the Starry Alliance, were it not for seeing the relationship between Mu Shenling and Su Han, he wouldn’t have bothered.
"I have a few conditions." Su Han said.
"A few more?"
Mu Yi sharply poked Mu Shenling’s forehead, then helplessly said, "The girl has grown up, become disobedient!"
Mu Shenling stuck out her tongue, continuously signaling to Su Han.
Su Han pretended not to see, and said:
"First, the Phoenix Sect can refrain from further attacks, but the Qing Emperor Sect has something I must have, Dark Sorcerer Supreme knows well what it is."
"Second, from today on, at this time every year, all forces that have acted against the Phoenix Sect from the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects must come to pay tribute!"
"The Seventy-Two Sects must pay one trillion Spirit Crystals!"
"The Nine Schools must pay five trillion Spirit Crystals!"
"The Three Teachings must pay ten trillion Spirit Crystals!"
"Third, upon seeing someone from the Phoenix Sect, they must kneel on one knee, bow in salutation, then retreat and yield the path, to repay their sins!"
"Fourth..."
"Alright, alright!"
Before Su Han could speak, Mu Yi said, "Sect Master Su, that’s enough, your conditions are endless!"
Su Han pursed his lips, looked up and said, "Alright, just these three points, please convey them, senior."
The first condition is naturally a fragment of the Supreme Treasure Map.
The second condition, I think these sects will agree, after all, being able to live is more important than anything else.
As for the last one, it goes without saying.
Saluting, and even if Su Han didn’t mention it, they would have to do so in the future.
But for those of the Phoenix Sect, Su Han never demands them to kneel.
However, the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects are different.
To the Phoenix Sect, they are sinners, they must kneel!
