Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: Turning Danger into Safety

The Xue Wang and the leader of Xuanjian Sect’s killing intent remained unabated, while other vampires had already surrounded Gu Fan.

Mo Yun looked at Lord Xiong with pleading eyes, but Lord Xiong was watching Gu Fan with an indifferent expression. It seemed he would not come to Gu Fan’s aid.

Caught in a perilous situation, Gu Fan still maintained his composure and said lightly, "Since it’s about cooperation, may I ask what you, Xue Wang, are going to do to help the leader of Xuanjian Sect unify the Martial Arts world? Is it the same old method, turning Xuanjian Sect into vampires like yourselves to enhance your strength?"

Hearing this, the leader of Xuanjian Sect had an epiphany, "Yes, besides this, what use are these Western vampires?"

Now it became problematic. Judging by the leader of Xuanjian Sect’s resistant look, it was clear he had no desire to become a vampire, which meant the Western vampires were basically useless to him.

Lord Xiong couldn’t help but admire Gu Fan. With just a few words, he had undermined the already shaky trust between the Xue Wang and the leader of Xuanjian Sect; now there would be an interesting show.

But the leader of Xuanjian Sect, still brazen-faced, said, "For the necessary things, I can accept this way of cooperation."

Caught in a perilous situation, Gu Fan still maintained his composure and said lightly, "If your method of cooperation was viable, then the Devil Cult and the vampires would have succeeded long ago, rather than being annihilated. The heroes of Martial Arts will sooner or later discover your cooperative relationship, and when that time comes, there will surely be an uproar. Xuanjian Sect will only follow in the Devil Cult’s footsteps."

The point was logical, and both Xue Wang and the leader of Xuanjian Sect stared intently at Gu Fan, hoping he would continue his brilliant discourse.

"The Devil Cult followed an overbearing path. Those who followed them prospered; those who opposed them perished. They offended too many, and as a result, were overwhelmed by collective opposition. Now, because of the Martial Arts Competition, Xuanjian Sect has already angered the entire Martial Arts world. If you ally with the Western vampires, even if you forcibly unify the Martial Arts world, no one will sincerely submit to you. Sooner or later they will find a chance to overthrow you. Don’t forget, Jian Shen is still alive," Gu Fan’s words cut to the heart of the matter, touching on the leader of Xuanjian Sect’s concerns.

According to Gu Fan, although Xuanjian Sect was being closely pressured by the Martial Arts world, it was not yet in a position to be annihilated. But if Xuanjian Sect cooperated with the vampires, it would be choosing its own demise.

Xue Wang’s face darkened, and he asked forcefully, "Boy, what brilliant ideas do you have?"

"My suggestion is very simple. If the Devil Cult represents tyranny, then we should be the righteous path," Gu Fan offered a suggestion that sounded inspiring, but it was unclear what exactly it meant.

Lord Xiong’s eyes showed admiration, "Good lad, all this talk of tyranny and righteousness is just to whet their appetites."

Indeed, someone couldn’t help but ask impatiently, "Don’t beat around the bush, kid. Spit it out."

"Alright, alright. Since you all want to know so badly, I’ll tell you. But can you please not crowd around me, it’s making me a bit nervous," Gu Fan said with an ease that impressed both Xue Wang and the leader of Xuanjian Sect. At a signal from Xue Wang’s eyes, the other vampires took a few steps back.

"Good, thank you for keeping your distance," Gu Fan said with a light smile, and then stretched out his finger, "My method is simple, all under heaven, it’s not only Xuanjian Sect in such a situation. I believe there are many other schools, right?"

Xue Wang caught on, "You mean to say, centered around Xuanjian Sect, to create an alliance and dominate the Martial Arts world."

"That’s right, as long as this alliance keeps growing, driven by our interests, it will attract more people to join us, and more members will enable us to achieve our goals," Gu Fan said this, truly shocking both Xue Wang and the leader of Xuanjian Sect.

Mo Yun couldn’t help but sigh, originally the Devil Cult was too tyrannical, forcibly making people from both good and evil factions join the Devil Cult, which offended the entire Martial Arts world, causing everyone to want to subdue the Devil Cult.

"Instead of making enemies, why not form factions? The difference between tyranny and kingship, isn’t it?" Xue Wang couldn’t help nodding in agreement with Gu Fan’s method, but the question was how exactly to go about it.

Gu Fan volunteered himself for this task; he would find some like-minded schools of Martial Arts to unite under the banner of Xuanjian Sect.

The leader of Xuanjian Sect was somewhat worried, "I’m just afraid that by doing this, my enemies will also gather and then attack us, making the situation even worse at that point."

"That’s why we don’t just have to grow, we must also do it quietly," Gu Fan said, smiling profoundly, "Don’t forget, we already have a partner, the World’s Number One Gambling House?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of Xuanjian Sect couldn’t help but laugh, "Kid, you even dare to eye the World’s Number One Gambling House; that’s a tough backstage to challenge, even I dare not make a move against them."

To this, Gu Fan shook his head, "Sorry, I don’t care about the backstage. I am only thinking about the best solution. My plan requires the World’s Number One Gambling House to invest. I wonder if the leader of Xuanjian Sect can help us with an introduction."

Xue Wang and Lord Xiong also became interested, if they could cooperate with the World’s Number One Gambling House, then dominating the Martial Arts world would be within reach.

"Kid, even though you messed up my plans, if you can help me dominate the Martial Arts world this time, our grudges will be wiped clean," the leader of Xuanjian Sect stated his position, meaning Gu Fan could now survive.

Since the leader of Xuanjian Sect said so, Xue Wang had no reason to take action, and his killing intent instantly dissipated.

Gu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having narrowly escaped danger once again. Although he appeared composed, his heart was actually pounding and he was breaking out in cold sweat.

Still, Gu Fan noticed the killing intent in the eyes of the leader of Xuanjian Sect, feeling that once he helped him dominate the Martial Arts world, Gu Fan would be of no further use and that would be the time to settle scores.

"Indeed, narrow-minded, truly the ideal partner for a vampire," Gu Fan secretly sighed. It seemed that every future step would have to be carefully considered to avoid giving them a pretext to dispose of him.

Naturally, Xue Wang and the leader of Xuanjian Sect decided to spare Gu Fan’s life, not because Gu Fan’s proposal was good, but because they valued Gu Fan’s capability, as he had managed to create opportunities for himself by making full use of the situation during the Martial Arts Competition, and had astonishingly fought his way to the last fight.

Lord Xiong also noticed the current situation; regardless of whether the plan succeeded or failed, the leader of Xuanjian Sect would not let Gu Fan go, meaning what Gu Fan could do at the moment was merely to buy time.

"Kid, you’ve got a real knack for staying alive, but Xue Wang will definitely have people watching you, you won’t be able to escape. What can you do? After you help Xue Wang and the leader of Xuanjian Sect achieve their goal, just wait to be slaughtered by them?" Lord Xiong could see that Gu Fan was certainly not the type to submit quietly and believed Gu Fan would use this time to figure out a way to survive. But the problem is, the chances were slim.
