Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183: Bai Li Xiang

Zhang Xiong nodded forcefully: "That’s right! That’s why I suspect this lad has even more powerful spiritual techniques. If we can get our hands on them, it would surely enhance our strength!"

After pondering for a moment, the cultivator shook his head and coldly said, "We should not rush this matter. Our goal this time is not just the auction but also the competition. Only by winning the competition can we obtain what we desire."

"If we act rashly against the lad now, we might provoke a disturbance here, and if it leads to the cancellation of the competition, the loss would outweigh the gain."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiong’s face showed a look of reluctance. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly said, "Elder, what if we poison the lad? Since he was brought by Fierce Lion and Miao Si and has such great strength, he is obviously here for the competition. If we could weaken their strength in advance, it would be a good thing for our victory!"

Hearing this, the cultivator fell into thought. After a while, he threw a bottle of Elixir from his sleeve and said blandly, "This is Hundred Li Fragrance. After he takes it, it will disperse his power, so we won’t have to worry about him participating in the competition."

Holding the Elixir in both hands, Fierce Lion’s eyes burst with joyful light, and he quickly knelt again, "Thank you, Elder, for the medicine. I will not disappoint you!"

Exiting the room, Zhang Xiong glanced at the Elixir in his hand and the corners of his mouth curled into a sinister smile.

"Kid, since you dare to oppose me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Meanwhile, Ning Fan and the representatives from Miao Si and Fierce Lion arrived at their lodging and opened a large room.

Upon entering the room, Ning Fan tossed a bottle of Elixir to each of the two.

"Take the Elixir and recover from your injuries."

The two hurriedly thanked him and then swallowed the Elixir.

Moments later, after the effects of the Elixir fully absorbed, their injuries had healed.

"Sect Master, that guy definitely has someone backing him! Or he has gotten some benefits from the Secret Realm!" Fierce Lion said through gritted teeth, "He was never my match before. How could he suddenly become so powerful!"

"You’re right, my techniques had no effect on him," Miao Si agreed. "I think people from the Five Great Sects are definitely supporting him!"

"Why would the people from the Five Great Sects get involved in this auction?" Ning Fan frowned.

His disguise as an elder was precisely to avoid attracting the notice of the Five Great Sects.

Now, if the Five Great Sects got involved too, any unforeseen incidents could prevent him from keeping his identity hidden.

His cultivation had not yet broken through. He could handle one or two people, but if it turned out like the previous incident with the Flying Immortal Sect, where they all emerged in full force, he definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand them.

It had been tough gathering the support of various sects and establishing the current power structure, and Ning Fan didn’t want all his efforts to be in vain.

Hearing this, Miao Si explained, "Each time Chongxu Sect organizes an auction, there is not only an auction but also a competition."

"The participants are the young disciples from various sects. The winner will obtain spiritual resources and Mystical Elixirs provided by the Chongxu Sect, as well as Magical Treasures."

"Previously, our Four Sects and other sects had joined forces and won this competition. This incident has always been a sore point for Zhang Xiong. He has certainly come prepared this time to win the competition from us!"

Ning Fan nodded, not particularly concerned about the competition.

His main objectives were still to find the whereabouts of others, his parents’ status, and a way for Xu Yourong to recover her memory.

The competition didn’t hold much significance for him.

"Sect Master, if we win, we can make a request for Chongxu Sect to fulfill," Miao Si mentioned tentatively, "Previously, when the Sect Master and your companions got separated, if we win, we can request them as a united identity of our Four Sects to locate your companions."

Ning Fan raised an eyebrow: "Can they do so?"

"They probably can. Chongxu Sect has extensive connections within the medium-sized sects. Perhaps they could find them."

After pondering for a moment, Ning Fan decided to lead the team to participate in the competition: "In that case, let’s go meet the people from the other sects to see if they can really do this."

Relying solely on himself and his subordinate’s power to locate Su Qingcheng and the others was too difficult.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been completely clueless about their whereabouts up until now.

Kunlun might seem small, but it actually covers a large area. If Su Qingcheng and the others were hidden by a sect, even he might not be able to find them.

The only certain thing was that the people from Flying Immortal Sect had not yet found Su Qingcheng and the others.

Otherwise, given Zhai Yonghui’s character, he certainly would have broadcast it to lure him out.

After a brief rest, Ning Fan followed Fierce Lion and Miao Si away from their lodging.

Soon, the three of them arrived at an open space in the wilderness where several sect masters were already waiting.

"Fierce Lion, Miao Si, you’ve finally arrived."

"I heard you had trouble with Zhang Xiong in the city, how are things?"

"I think we might as well give up on this year’s competition. It seems like that bastard Zhang Xiong has gotten the backing of the Five Great Sects. We may not be able to match them."

Upon meeting, several sect masters expressed their reluctance to fight.

For them, losing a competition was no big deal, but losing the elite disciples of their sects would be troublesome.
