Chapter 1047: Chapter 1047: Fuguang Sect Intervenes

"Boy, just surrender quietly, you can’t escape!"

Zhai Anping alighted from the Flying Boat, his gaze icily fixed on Ning Fan.

Several Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivators also followed at Zhai Anping’s side, closing in on Ning Fan.

Facing the group’s siege, Ning Fan’s eyes slightly darkened as he took a deep breath, forcibly channeling an enormous amount of Spiritual Power into the Jadestone Mini-sword, regardless of the cost.

Whoosh!

Without another word, he raised the Jadestone Mini-sword in his hand, unleashing a whizzing sword light like a shooting ribbon.

Yet the cultivators were well-prepared, having already reacted to Ning Fan’s move by collectively blocking the path of the sword light.

The sword light was as formidable as ever, but it still proved ineffective in front of several Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivators.

"Still trying to launch a sneak attack on me?" Zhai Anping sneered, "Boy, do you really think I never learn? Last time was an accident; now, you have no chance of harming me!"

Thinking back to how he had been hurt by Ning Fan last time despite wearing protective Magic Artifacts, a wave of embarrassment and anger surged through Zhai Anping.

He had never faced such peril in his life, nor had he ever been so grievously wounded before.

If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have been so determined to kill Ning Fan.

Ning Fan frowned tightly, realizing this was the worst situation he had faced in several days.

His injuries had not fully healed, the opponent had arrayed specific Formations against him, and four Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivators were eyeing him predatorily.

If he wanted to escape, he either had to kill Zhai Anping or the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t find any chance of breaking free.

"Sigh... Do I have to risk everything again?"

Ning Fan’s gaze deepened; he always tried to avoid putting himself in situations where he would be severely injured.

But under the current circumstances, if he didn’t go all out, he might truly have no way to break through.

As several cultivators moved closer, Ning Fan took a deep breath and tightly gripped the Jadestone Mini-sword in his right hand.

Robust Spiritual Power surged within him, gathering in the Jadestone Mini-sword, condensing sword lights as he prepared for a desperate struggle.

Just then, a low voice suddenly came from above.

"Master Zhai, why not do me a personal favor and let Daoist Xu off the hook?"

In midair, Wei Tianyuan, followed by Xiong Lin, came racing over.

Xiong Lin winked at Ning Fan below, then a transmitted message swept into Ning Fan’s ears.

"Daoist Xu, your friend has already returned to the Feiyu Sect. We came to rescue you after receiving the news."

It turned out that after Yan Shuang and others returned to the Fuguang Sect, they immediately found Wei Tianyuan and told him the situation.

Wei Tianyuan did not know about the grudges between Ning Fan and Zhai Anping, but upon hearing that Ning Fan was being besieged by Zhai Anping, he immediately took Xiong Lin and hurried over.

"Wei Tianyuan, this is a personal grievance between him and me. What does your Fuguang Sect mean by interfering?" Zhai Anping, seeing Wei Tianyuan arrive, unexpectedly panicked a bit, given that he had previously targeted Wei Qiuwan.

But soon he calmed down and said in a stern voice, "Could it be that Sect Master Wei wishes to make an enemy of my Flying Immortal Sect?"

Wei Tianyuan landed not far from Zhai Anping and replied in a serious voice, "Master Zhai, you’re exaggerating. Daoist Xu and I are close friends, and I hope you can show me this courtesy for my sake."

Zhai Anping sneered, about to speak when Ning Fan interrupted, "Sect Master Wei, your daughter’s Soul Devouring Beast was planted by Zhai Anping."

At this statement, Wei Tianyuan’s expression changed abruptly.

He stared intently at Zhai Anping, his gaze sharp as he asked, "Master Zhai, is this true?"

Having seen his daughter tormented for many years by the dreadful Soul Departing Disorder, Wei Tianyuan always felt immensely guilty.

Suddenly hearing that the instigator was Zhai Anping ignited an uncontrollable fury within him.

Zhai Anping internally cursed Ning Fan for being so talkative. Yet he maintained a calm expression, responding firmly, "Sect Master Wei, this is absolutely baseless. I bear no grudges against your Fuguang Sect, why would I commit such wrongdoing?"

Ning Fan continued, "Because he covets the resources of your Fuguang Sect, so he wants to curry favor with Wei Qiuwan and marry her. This would allow him to naturally take over your Fuguang Sect!"

Damn!

Zhai Anping thought he should have silenced Ning Fan earlier so as to avoid him talking so much at this point.

By this time, Wei Tianyuan actually believed about eighty percent of it.

After all, the person truly without grievances against him was Ning Fan. If it were merely for retaliating by name, it wouldn’t match Xu Fan’s character.

And recalling the past, Zhai Anping had indeed visited the Fuguang Sect when Wei Qiuwan was being tormented by the Soul Devouring Beast.

He had never considered this possibility before, so he had never taken it seriously.

But now, prompted by Ning Fan, he thought it over carefully and shockingly found many previously unnoticed issues.

And these problems were intricately linked to Zhai Anping and his own daughter.

"Master Zhai, I need to take Daoist Xu back for treatment now; I suppose you wouldn’t mind?" Wei Tianyuan said with a stern face.

Already feeling at fault, Zhai Anping could only grit his teeth and respond resentfully, "Fine, do as you will, Sect Master Wei!"

Wei Tianyuan gave Xiong Lin a signal, and Xiong Lin immediately stepped forward, ready to extract Ning Fan.

Seeing Ning Fan about to leave, Zhai Anping grew anxious, "Don’t let him go!"

As he spoke, he directly took out a Magic Artifact from his bosom, gathering all his formidable power within it.

Subsequently, Zhai Anping threw the Magic Artifact toward Ning Fan, clearly unwilling to let him escape.
