The Young Master Storms the City
Chapter 1203: Rejection

Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203: Rejection

Seeing the group finally appear, Zhang Xiong bared his teeth in a cold sneer.

"Fierce Lion, I thought you would keep hiding in the city, afraid to come out like a bunch of turtles!"

"This guy really did bring people to wait for us."

Fierce Lion clenched his fists, anger already appearing on his face.

Miao Si was even more ready to strike, having long been prepared.

"Sect Master, when the fight breaks out later, please leave first; we will do our best to hold them off!"

Ning Fan, however, simply smiled faintly and patted their shoulders before taking a step forward.

"Sect Master!"

Fierce Lion and Miao Si panicked.

"Zhang Xiong, what makes you think you can kill all of us?"

Zhang Xiong wasn’t in a hurry to start fighting, confident that the few before him couldn’t escape the palm of his hand.

"Now your Four Sects Alliance has only the few of you left; it would be easy for me to kill you."

"Aren’t you afraid of offending the Chongxu Sect by doing this?" Ning Fan said slowly and deliberately.

The smile on Zhang Xiong’s face froze as he was reminded of the scene at the auction.

Elder Xi Hu had extended an invitation to Xu Fan.

But Xu Fan had already refused!

"You’ve already refused the invitation of the Chongxu Sect, even if I want to kill you, it’s beyond their jurisdiction."

Yet Ning Fan continued to smile faintly, not worried that Zhang Xiong would take action.

The reason, of course, had to do with the Chongxu Sect.

"When you make your move, if I choose to join the Chongxu Sect, then I could become one of its core or even its direct disciples. Do you think the Chongxu Sect would allow you to kill me?"

Zhang Xiong’s complexion suddenly darkened, fully aware of the possibility in Ning Fan’s words.

That scenario was not at all impossible.

The Chongxu Sect was ultimately not something his Hundred Beasts Sect could afford to provoke.

With just a Pseudo-Dan Realm Elder Xi Hu, he could destroy his Hundred Beasts Sect from top to bottom.

Grinding his teeth and hesitating for a while, Zhang Xiong came to a decision, immediately looking at Ning Fan and saying, "You can leave, but the others of the Four Sects Alliance cannot."

However, Ning Fan had no intention of leaving.

"Zhang Xiong, you don’t have a choice right now."

"Either kill me, or let us leave."

Zhang Xiong’s fists were already clenched, the fury in his eyes growing more intense.

He wanted so badly to take action right now, but there was the Chongxu Sect.

Suddenly, he spotted a figure slowly appearing atop the city wall behind Ning Fan and the others.

The Chongxu Sect, Elder Xi Hu!

With a deep frown, Zhang Xiong let out a disdainful snort, looking at Fierce Lion and Miao Si.

"Fierce Lion, Miao Si, consider yourselves lucky this time but one day, I’ll kill the two of you myself."

Having said that, Zhang Xiong left with his men.

Seeing the people of the Hundred Beasts Sect actually leave, Fierce Lion and the others were astonished.

The anxiousness in Ning Fan’s heart finally settled.

Originally, this had all been a gamble, betting on just how afraid the Hundred Beasts Sect was of the Chongxu Sect.

Now it seemed, the Hundred Beasts Sect indeed harbored deep fear of the Five Great Sects.

At this place, it was clear they could not afford any further delay.

"We should leave now; otherwise, once the people from the Hundred Beasts Sect collect themselves, we won’t be able to get away."

Fierce Lion and the others nodded in agreement, and everyone dispersed.

As he left, Ning Fan bowed towards the figure on the city wall to express his gratitude.

In fact, Ning Fan knew that from the very moment they had left the city, Elder Xi Hu had been watching everything unfold.

Elder Xi Hu had not interrupted his words, which could be taken as an implicit form of assistance.

Thus, he bowed to Elder Xi Hu.

Atop the city wall, Elder Xi Hu watched the departing figures with a smile.

"I’m really starting to like this young fellow more and more, it’s just a shame he won’t join our Chongxu Sect."

A figure approached behind him, a young man.

"Elder, why not directly take him into the Chongxu Sect?"

"If you decide, he has no choice but to accept."

Elder Xi Hu stared coldly at the young man, then said with a stern face, "If someone is willing, they are willing; if not, they are not. Where is there any talk of coercion?"

"As one of the great sects, can the Chongxu Sect really do such unreasonable things?"

The young disciple behind him immediately lowered his head, wisely choosing not to speak again.

The familiar teleportation formation, and when they opened their eyes, they had already returned within the Four Sects Alliance.

Recalling the events of the auction, Fierce Lion and the others were incredibly excited.

They had suffered at the hands of the Hundred Beasts Sect before, and now they had finally gotten their revenge all at once, how could they not be thrilled?

The group returned to the main hall, and the other two immediately came up to greet them.

As Fierce Lion gleefully recounted what had happened at the auction, the two others also couldn’t help but show excited smiles.

It was as if they could already see the future of the Four Sects Alliance.

However, Ning Fan’s expression held not a trace of happiness, lost in thought.

The joyful Fierce Lion and others quickly noticed Ning Fan’s demeanor, their smiles immediately fading to become extremely serious.

"Sect Master, do you have worries?"

The first to speak was Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng.

"How confident are you in incorporating other sects into the Four Sects Alliance?"

Ning Fan asked directly.

Upon hearing this, the group’s faces stiffened, and they all lowered their heads with complex expressions.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Ning Fan sighed.

Indeed, their situation was just as he had speculated.

The main four sects of the Four Sects Alliance were, in fact, not stable, not to mention the other lower-ranked sects.

But now, if the Four Sects Alliance wanted to stand against a middle to upper-tier sect like the Flying Immortal Sect, they needed sufficient strength, and bringing in these lower-ranked sects was the best choice.
