Chapter 1204: Chapter 1204: Combine Four into One

"Hundred Beasts Sect has the backing of Flying Immortal Sect; since this auction thoroughly offended Hundred Beasts Sect, it also means offending the entire Flying Immortal Sect, leaving us with not much time," Ning Fan concluded, looking at the figures before him as he slowly stood up.

Now that he was the Sect Master, he had to consider the whole Four Sects Alliance.

"Within half a month, I want a definite answer from those sects, and the advantage I can offer them is freedom from the oppression of the Five Great Sects."

"We, the allied sects, don’t have that much time to waste on them. Since the Four Sects Alliance is already established, merging into one is the best option."

Instantly, Fierce Lion and the others showed their shocked expressions.

Ning Fan’s meaning was clear, he wanted the four great sects to merge into one, and their status as individual sect masters would essentially be nullified.

Huang Gu’s expression darkened as he clenched his teeth internally, unable to accept this.

Merging the Four Sects, how was that different from annihilating their sects?

"The Four Sects cannot merge."

Huang Gu stepped forward, his gaze resolute.

"The Four Sects Alliance is the Four Sects Alliance, and although I accept you as our Sect Master, the Four Sects absolutely cannot merge."

Ning Fan looked at Huang Gu with an indifferent gaze, anticipating that there would be opposition.

If the Four Sects merged, it would mean that the four great sects would no longer exist in the future; only one sect would.

However, Ning Fan had already made up his mind; if the Four Sects did not merge, they would inevitably become scattered in the future and difficult to manage uniformly.

In that case, the Four Sects Alliance would eventually break apart.

"If the Four Sects do not merge, what will you use to fight against the Five Great Sects, to elevate your sects to middle and even upper sect status?"

"Do you really think the Four Sects Alliance currently has the strength to resist the Five Great Sects?"

Ning Fan’s voice echoed through the entire hall, causing Fierce Lion and the others to fall into silence.

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng sighed helplessly, breaking the tense atmosphere.

He took a step forward and bowed to Ning Fan, "Sect Master, this is a crucial matter for our sects. Could you give us some time to discuss it?"

"Within three days, we will definitely give the Sect Master an answer."

Ning Fan looked at Zhuang Peng and took a step back in compromise.

"Two days, I want a specific answer in two days, otherwise what happens next to the Four Sects Alliance is none of my concern."

Zhuang Peng and the others gradually left the hall.

Ning Fan sighed helplessly, his ascent to the position of Sect Master also driven by his personal agenda.

After all, to compete against the Five Great Sects, he must create a force comparable to them.

And currently, the Four Sects Alliance was the best option.

But the Four Sects Alliance was ultimately four different sects; if they didn’t merge, contradictions would likely arise in the future, then what will they use to compare with the Five Great Sects?

"I hope Chongxu Sect brings good news."

For now, as long as they could restore the Formation Spirit, their chances of facing the Five Great Sects would increase greatly.

...

After leaving the hall, the few sect masters gathered in a courtyard, sitting around a table.

As soon as they sat down, Huang Gu slammed his hand down on the table angrily.

"Letting him be the Sect Master, he really thinks he is the Sect Master, even wanting our Four Sects to merge!"

"He clearly wants to have complete control over our four great sects!"

Facing Huang Gu’s words, Zhuang Peng sighed helplessly.

Among the present company, he had the most contact with Ning Fan.

How Ning Fan was, he understood clearer than the three present.

What concerned him even more was Ning Fan’s background.

Ning Potian, that was a name feared by many sects.

Not to mention Ning Fan’s never-seen mother, whose strength instilled even more fear.

"You seem to have forgotten who the parents of our Sect Master are."

With Zhuang Peng’s words, the three present fell into silence.

Especially Huang Gu, whose opposition had been strong, was further subdued now.

His mouth opened, but he hesitated to speak.

After a long silence, the usually composed Miao Si slowly said, "Ning Potian’s reputation is indeed significant; even the Five Great Sects are cautious around him."

"But don’t forget, Ning Potian is not here, nor is Ning Fan’s mother."

These words clearly conveyed Miao Si’s thoughts.

"We let him be the Sect Master, each with our own calculations, and it’s the same with this auction. We do not wish to see the Four Sects merge."

Fierce Lion let out a cold laugh, looking at Huang Gu and Miao Si.

He differed from these two; from the moment the Supreme Elder was defeated, he had been wholeheartedly devoted to this Sect Master.

Moreover, that was also the intention of the Supreme Elder.

"Unlike you two, while I am not entirely in favor of merging the Four Sects, I choose to follow the Sect Master."

"Fierce Lion, what benefits has that boy Ning Fan given you to make you—"

"Could you defeat Zhang Xiong, who possesses Spiritual Power?"

Fierce Lion snorted coldly, his brow furrowed, his gaze carrying a bit of dominance as he looked at the two before him.

"I will never forget the oppression of the Five Great Sects, and now that we have a chance to oppose the Five Great Sects, why would I refuse?"

Zhuang Peng thought deeply about Fierce Lion’s words and was somewhat persuaded.

After all, the situation of his sect was similar to that of Fierce Lion’s.

Since the Four Sects Alliance had already taken this step, perhaps merging was indeed the best choice.
