The Young Master Storms the City
Chapter 1033: The Five Great Sects

Chapter 1033: Chapter 1033: The Five Great Sects

Clearly, he was genuinely pleased that he had become the Deputy Sect Master.

Under Xiong Lin’s leadership, the group left the Fuguang Sect and entered the city beneath it.

The number of tourists in the city had increased several times compared to Ning Fan’s first visit.

The auction was drawing near, and the Five Great Sects had all sent their disciples over, not just for the so-called Magic Artifact of Ning Potian.

Each Fuguang Sect auction would have no shortage of fine items.

Thus, aside from the Five Great Sects coming for news about Ning Potian, the others were there merely to bid for some good finds.

"Daoist Xu, I can only take you this far. I have other matters to attend to," Xiong Lin said to Ning Fan outside the auction hall, bowing with an apologetic gesture.

As the future Deputy Sect Master, Xiong Lin didn’t entertain any thoughts of negligence but was actively dealing with various affairs of the sect.

Only by doing so could he avoid others’ criticism.

"Elder Xiong, you have worked hard. After the auction concludes, let us drink together," Ning Fan offered.

After bidding farewell to Xiong Lin, Ning Fan, accompanied by Yan Shuang and others, stepped into the auction hall.

They passed through a deep corridor and emerged into a massive auction hall.

In the very center was a high platform for the auctioneer to conduct sales.

The seats around were arranged in a ring surrounding the high platform, with guests continuously taking their places.

Ning Fan sat at the very front, right below the high platform.

This seating was specially arranged by Wei Tianyuan to show his regard for Ning Fan.

Others who could sit in this position were undoubtedly from the Five Great Sects.

"I’ve heard there are quite a few nice items in this auction."

"We’ve brought enough funds this time, just waiting for the bidding to start."

"Fortunately, with Ning Potian’s Magic Artifact showing up, people from the Five Great Sects probably won’t be competing with us for other items."

"To me, it’s incredible how after so many years, the people from the Five Great Sects are still hung up on Ning Potian."

Those attending the auction were the elites from the various sects, who, if not fully informed about Ning Potian’s deeds, had at least heard of them.

But they were not interested in Ning Potian’s affairs.

In their eyes, when the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up.

No matter how formidable Ning Potian once was, now he’s disappeared without a trace.

In the past, the Five Great Sects hunted Ning Potian until he disappeared. Now that just a Magic Artifact has appeared, how big of a deal could it be?

Listening to the discussion around him, a ripple of emotion stirred in Ning Fan’s heart, but no trace of it showed on his face.

Only his trembling hands betrayed his inner excitement.

After searching for so long, he was finally nearing the goal he had been pursuing!

At the same time, individuals from the Five Great Sects also arrived one after another and took their seats in the front row.

When they saw Ning Fan, a look of confusion crossed their faces.

The ones eligible to sit in these seats were all from the Five Great Sects; they had seen each other before but had never seen Ning Fan.

They did not ask much else and simply took their seats beside Ning Fan.

The Five Great Sects were the Flying Immortal Sect, Luohe Sect, Guiyi Sect, White Bone Sect, and Yin Yang Sect.

"It seems everyone has arrived in full force this time."

"Heh, even your Yin Yang Sect has sent someone; how could we not come to have a piece of the action?"

"As for your Flying Immortal Sect, I’m not surprised to see you so eager."

Upon hearing this, Zhai Anping snorted coldly, "Back then, Ning Potian caused our Flying Immortal Sect heavy losses. I ask that everyone refrain from competing with me for this Magic Artifact today."

The young Sect Master of the Luohe Sect calmly stated, "Rest assured, we of the Luohe Sect generally don’t concern ourselves with worldly affairs."

"Good to hear," the heir of the White Bone Sect, cloaked in black, said with a chilly voice, "Wasn’t it your sect that dealt the most underhanded blow to Ning Potian back then?"

"You can’t just spout nonsense. Wasn’t your White Bone Sect equally ruthless? And the Guiyi Sect, if I recall correctly, weren’t you the ones to dispatch the most people?"

A cold aura suddenly surged from the White Bone Sect heir, "Hmph, if it weren’t for your Luohe Sect’s scheming behind the scenes, would our four sects have suffered such heavy casualties?"

"Ridiculous, as if your hands from the White Bone Sect are clean," the Luohe Sect heir rebutted with a cold snort, "While we were besieging Ning Potian, didn’t you sneakily lead an attack on our Luohe Sect?"

The hunt for Ning Potian back in the day had cost the Five Great Sects dearly.

The main reason wasn’t so much Ning Potian’s strength but rather the fact that the Five Great Sects were all tripping each other up behind the scenes.

By the end of the hunt, had it not been for Ning Potian’s sudden disappearance, the Five Great Sects might have turned on each other first.

Ning Fan, seated among them, listened to their conversation and roughly gauged the roles these figures had played in hunting his father.

He etched their words into his heart, resolving that when his power completely overwhelmed Kunlun, the time for revenge would come!

If not for them, he could have grown up in a healthy family.

After bickering for a while and seeing the auction about to begin, they finally ceased their arguments.

"This Daoist friend, it seems I haven’t seen you before," the young Sect Master of the Luohe Sect suddenly initiated conversation with Ning Fan, "May I ask which sect are you from?"
