Chapter 998: Chapter 998 Nobody Wins

Not long after, Gu Fan received news that all three groups had been successful, with both the witnesses and evidence secured, leaving the leader of Xuanjian Sect with no room to deny the charges.

Mo Yun couldn’t help but admire, "Gu Fan, you’re really something. When you went to find Lu Bei, you already had a plan in mind, asking him to inform the martial artists and rallying the entire Martial Arts community to gather evidence. And then Lu Bei went on to find the Female Sword Immortal, who collected even more evidence."

"There was no other way!" Gu Fan sighed, looking somewhat exhausted, "We were watched too closely and it was difficult for us to act, so we had to let others do it for us."

Mo Yun looked at Gu Fan with interest, "So that means the Martial Arts Competition tomorrow is no longer needed, and you can directly claim the title of leader of the Martial Arts community."

"Exactly!" Gu Fan lifted his spirits, hardly believing he could claim the ultimate victory for himself.

However, what Gu Fan was most looking forward to was Lu Bei and Jin Yi, because there had been an agreement that if Gu Fan defeated the leader of Xuanjian Sect, then Lu Bei would reveal the whereabouts of Jian Shen.

Gu Fan believed that tomorrow, under the watchful eyes of all, as he ascended the throne of the Martial Arts leader, he would also learn from Jin Yi the location of Jian Shen, which would be the ideal outcome.

"Alright, Lin Xi, just wait a little longer for me, I’ll take you home soon." Gu Fan was now so excited he couldn’t wait for the sun to rise immediately.

However, when tomorrow came and Gu Fan arrived at the Martial Arts Competition venue full of anticipation, he found it completely empty, not a person in sight. This left both Gu Fan and Mo Yun dumbfounded, as it was far from what they had expected.

At that moment, a cleaner walked by and Gu Fan immediately seized the person to ask, "I want to know why there’s not a single person here. Is the ceremony for the Martial Arts leader being held somewhere else?"

Recognizing Gu Fan, the cleaner looked sympathetic, "The Martial Arts Competition turned out like this, and everyone felt there was no need to elect a leader for the Martial Arts community, so they all went home."

"What? How can that be?" Gu Fan was in a panic, "I won the final match in front of everyone, and it was me who exposed the conspiracy between the leader of Xuanjian Sect and the big gambler. It was me who saved the Martial Arts community, everyone should be letting me be the leader."

The cleaner replied, "The competition involved too much, and besides, everyone said that having someone with such weak martial skills as you for a leader would sap the spirits of the whole Martial Arts community. You wouldn’t want to bear the title of the leader with the worst martial skills in history, would you?"

Hearing this, Gu Fan felt deeply disappointed, "What now, have I been busy for nothing?"

The cleaner said, "Not necessarily, everyone is very thankful to you. If it wasn’t for you, they would have lost a lot. Now, everyone’s silver has been retrieved from the World’s Number One Gambling House."

Mo Yun inquired, "Then how did the martial artists punish Xuanjian Sect and the World’s Number One Gambling House?"

"Punish, how could that be possible? The First Gambling House has many nobles standing behind it, and the leader of Xuanjian Sect has such high martial skills, who dares to really question and blame? Getting back the silver was already quite fortunate."

Gu Fan and Mo Yun were stunned. After all the trouble they’d gone through, the leader of Xuanjian Sect and the World’s Number One Gambling House had emerged unscathed, which meant that next, they would turn to settle accounts with Gu Fan.

"I have a bad feeling about this!" Mo Yun grew worried, while Gu Fan’s focus was elsewhere as he immediately turned to chase after Lu Bei and Jin Yi.

Plans had changed, Gu Fan wouldn’t become leader of the Martial Arts community and wouldn’t rise to fame. Lin Xi wouldn’t know of Gu Fan’s arrival, not knowing where Gu Fan was. Thus, Gu Fan’s remaining hope rested on Lu Bei and Jin Yi.

However, those Martial Arts figures had already left overnight, and Lu Bei and Jin Yi’s whereabouts were unknown. The world was vast; where was Gu Fan to even start looking?

Mo Yun was anxious, "Gu Fan, don’t run off wildly. We need to hide quickly."

Gu Fan was not listening at all as he dashed away frantically. He had to seize the only hope he had, no matter how slim.

Just as Gu Fan had rushed halfway up the mountainside, a sudden burst of Jian Qi struck, brushing past him and startling him into stopping.

"Kid, you’ve finally come down the mountain. Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting for you?" The leader of Xuanjian Sect appeared with his subordinates, their eyes filled with venomous resentment. They had obviously been inconvenienced, and they were definitely not going to let Gu Fan off the hook now.

Gu Fan was in a hurry and spoke rudely, "Move out of my way, I don’t have time to dawdle here with you."

Hearing this, the leader of Xuanjian Sect became even more enraged, "If it weren’t for you, I would have already become the leader of the Martial Arts alliance and made a fortune. The Martial Arts world would have been better because of me. But you ruined everything, so you must pay the price."

"You want me to pay the price? With just you? I have the Destiny Stone Body Guard, no one can hurt me." Gu Fan’s confidence showed; he didn’t care about the leader of Xuanjian Sect or anyone else, telling them all to step aside.

The leader of Xuanjian Sect saw that Gu Fan was not afraid and even seemed confident, and he wondered if the young man had some reliable backing.

"Get out of my way, or don’t blame me for being rude." After saying this, Gu Fan didn’t wait for an answer and pushed forward forcefully.

Seeing that Gu Fan not only didn’t retreat but also charged forward, the people of Xuanjian Sect were shocked; this was completely irrational.

"Does Gu Fan really have some strong backing?" The leader of Xuanjian Sect hesitated, fearing that harming Gu Fan might bring big trouble.

But the moment the leader of Xuanjian Sect remembered the humiliation he suffered the night before, being criticized by so many people for the first time in his life, it made him angry, and anger made him lose his rationality. He waved his precious sword and stabbed at Gu Fan.

Gu Fan, reckless and uncaring, shielded his face with his arms, using Vajra Body Protection, and charged forward with determination.

The leader of Xuanjian Sect’s several sword strikes couldn’t penetrate Gu Fan, silently admiring the remarkable skill of Vajra Body Protection. However, given the leader’s great power, after a few strikes, he sent Gu Fan flying.

Gu Fan fell to the ground, but quickly got up as if nothing had happened, and charged again, completely disregarding the strength of his opponent.

"Has this kid gone mad?" The leader of Xuanjian Sect, heart hardened, struck Gu Fan with another palm, sending him flying again.

Just then, Mo Yun arrived. Seeing Gu Fan flying towards her with great momentum, she didn’t hold back any longer. She unleashed a frightening Demonic Qi, caught Gu Fan with both hands, and steadied him to the ground.

Seeing this Demonic Qi, the leader of Xuanjian Sect frowned, then loudly accused, "This Demonic Qi, you’re from the Devil Cult, doesn’t that mean Gu Fan you’re also from the Devil Cult?"

Mo Yun looked disdainful, "So what if I’m from the Devil Cult? I wouldn’t do such despicable things like you. If I were you, with my reputation completely destroyed and my face lost, I would have wanted to crawl into a hole. Yet you have the nerve to come and settle scores with us; you’ve got quite the strong mentality."
