Chapter 1052: Are You Really Ning Potian’s Son?

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1052: Are You Really Ning Potian’s Son?

Wei Tianyuan was momentarily at a loss for words. From the moment Ning Fan revealed his identity, his enmity with the Five Great Sects was set in stone.

This was a feud inherited from past generations. Even though Ning Fan had not previously acted against the Five Great Sects, they would not let Ning Fan go.

"Brother Ning... are you really the son of Ning Potian?" Xiong Lin still couldn’t accept this fact.

That was the figure of legend!

And his descendant was now standing right before him, alive and well.

"Yes, my father is indeed Ning Potian," Ning Fan nodded, "I’m very sorry for dragging you two into this."

Wei Tianyuan and Xiong Lin had been very good to him. Even though they knew the person pursuing him was the young master of the Flying Immortal Sect, they had rushed to his aid as soon as they received the news.

And even after learning that he was the son of Ning Potian, they didn’t kick him when he was down, which was already the greatest help.

If they had turned against him just now, Ning Fan wouldn’t have found it the least bit surprising.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tianyuan couldn’t help but show a bitter smile, "Ah, there’s no point in talking about dragging us down anymore. From the moment we learned of your identity and did not take immediate action, we were already standing in opposition to the Flying Immortal Sect."

Wei Tianyuan, having led his Sect for many years, was acutely aware of just how domineering the Five Great Sects could be, especially in matters concerning Ning Potian.

Better to kill the wrong person than to let one go.

Over the years, even the slightest rumors concerning Ning Potian would prompt the Five Great Sects to send people to investigate.

If someone reminiscent of Ning Potian appeared, they would be captured by the Sects’ operatives.

Once, a Lower-Ranked Sect became embroiled in rumors related to Ning Potian. The Five Great Sects unhesitatingly struck, mercilessly erasing that sect from Kunlun.

"Ah, what to do now?"

Wei Tianyuan felt a headache coming on. He was even thinking that it would have been better if Ning Fan had killed Zhai Anping just now.

Ling that individual alive meant that it wouldn’t be long before the Flying Immortal Sect learned of the appearance of Ning Potian’s son.

Similarly, the Fuguang Sect’s indifference and allowing Ning Fan to kill a cultivator from the Flying Immortal Sect, even nearly assassinating the young master, would be enough for the Flying Immortal Sect to take action against them.

Every single charge brought up would be sufficient for the Flying Immortal Sect to make a move against Fuguang Sect.

"Sect Master Wei, I need to return to the Feiyu Sect to prepare for battle against the Flying Immortal Sect. What are your plans?" Ning Fan asked.

He was actually trying to win over the Fuguang Sect. After all, it was a top mid-ranked Sect. If he could get it on his side, it would be an immense boost.

Wei Tianyuan gave him a deep look and sighed heavily, "Daoist Ning, if you were not the son of Ning Potian, even if you really were in conflict with the Flying Immortal Sect, I would have certainly stood by you."

Implicit in his words was the fact that it was Ning Fan’s identity that made it impossible for him to help.

Wei Tianyuan’s decision was easy to understand.

If Ning Fan weren’t the son of Ning Potian, it would at most be a conflict with the Flying Immortal Sect. With the wealth of the Fuguang Sect, they could indeed protect him if they invested fully.

But being the son of Ning Potian meant that protecting him would put them against all Five Great Sects.

These were the top Sects that had held control over Kunlun for years and held most of the resources.

The Fuguang Sect could barely manage the Flying Immortal Sect alone. If the Five Great Sects joined forces, the downfall of the Fuguang Sect would be but a moment’s work.

To risk the Sect’s destruction for the sake of Ning Potian’s son was a burden Wei Tianyuan could not bear.

"Sect Master Wei, do you really think the Flying Immortal Sect will let you go easily?" Ning Fan asked solemnly.

After a long silence, Wei Tianyuan shook his head with a wry smile, "I can’t be sure, but standing with you would undoubtedly mean gambling the entire Fuguang Sect, and I simply cannot afford that wager."

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Wei Tianyuan, Ning Fan gave up on that plan.

"Since Sect Master Wei’s mind is made up, I won’t press the matter further. However, I will always remember the kindness you’ve shown me," Ning Fan said with a bow.

Seeing Ning Fan preparing to leave, Wei Tianyuan waved his hand with a wry smile, "Forget it, come back with me. Using the Teleportation Array from our Sect will be much more convenient."

After all, having offended the Flying Immortal Sect, even if he vehemently denied it, Zhai Anping would surely seek revenge against the Fuguang Sect.

"Then I thank you, Sect Master Wei."

Then, the three of them returned to the Fuguang Sect. As they made their way, Wei Tianyuan and Xiong Lin would occasionally glance at Ning Fan and let out long sighs.

"Sect Master, I’m sorry... If it weren’t for me, things wouldn’t have come to this," Xiong Lin expressed remorsefully.

The reason they had come so quickly was entirely because he had been instilling Wei Tianyuan with the idea of investing in Ning Fan.

Now, having just been promoted to Deputy Sect Master, he had stirred up such a significant issue, putting the entire Fuguang Sect at odds with the Flying Immortal Sect.

One of the Five Great Sects, that Flying Immortal Sect, was a top Sect that had controlled Kunlun for many years.

If this led to the ultimate destruction of the Fuguang Sect, Xiong Lin felt that he would have no choice but to offer his life in atonement.

"Ah, well, what’s done is done, there’s nothing more to be said."

Wei Tianyuan had come to terms with it. After all, no matter what, Ning Fan had saved his daughter’s life.

Returning kindness with enmity was something he couldn’t do.

But the thought of facing the Flying Immortal Sect made Wei Tianyuan’s head pound.

"So... can I really expect him to achieve what his father did back then?"

Gazing distantly at Ning Fan ahead, Wei Tianyuan’s mind began to harbor an unbelievable notion.
