Chapter 4763: The Preliminary Selection Begins

"Hehehe… Do you know you were wrong? I was almost killed by them." Xiao Fan sneered, stood up with fury, and pointed at the Prodigies from the Ice-Fire Realm, Dragon King Realm, and Bone-Erosion Realm, shouting: "Do I even know them? They ran over here demanding to spar with me! Demanding a one-on-one fight! What are they trying to do? Huh?!"

Upon hearing this, the Prodigies from the Ice-Fire Realm, Dragon King Realm, and Bone-Erosion Realm lowered their heads, none daring to make a sound.

The Divine Lords of the Ice-Fire Realm, Dragon King Realm, and Bone-Erosion Realm looked grim; they were furious.

The people from the Arena were very clever; they didn't speak to them at all, but went directly to the Prodigies of their Three Realms, telling them to cause trouble for Xiao Fan.

The Divine Lords of the Ice-Fire Realm, Dragon King Realm, and Bone-Erosion Realm exchanged glances and confessed the truth.

"Young Friend Xiao Xuan, we really didn't know about this matter… It was the people from the Arena; they wanted to use us to kill you!"

"It's true! Young Friend Xiao Xuan, I can swear on my own life!"

"I can too! Young Friend, I truly didn't know about it beforehand!"

"…"

Xiao Fan believed the words of the Divine Lords from the Ice-Fire Realm, Dragon King Realm, and Bone-Erosion Realm. After all, to become a Divine Lord, these people certainly weren't fools.

Although he hadn't been in the Ghost Mansion for long, his reputation was significant. Even if they didn't know his identity, if the Arena asked them to attack someone the Arena itself dared not touch, wouldn't they have investigated the situation clearly beforehand?!

"You lot! Hurry up and beg for Young Friend's forgiveness!"

"If Young Friend doesn't forgive you! Just wait for death!"

"…"

Hearing this, the Prodigies from the Ice-Fire Realm, Dragon King Realm, and Bone-Erosion Realm kowtowed to Xiao Fan to admit their fault, knocking their heads until they bled.

"Lord Xiao Xuan! We were wrong, we were misled by the people from the Arena! It's true!"

"We were wrong, we were wrong! Lord Xiao Xuan, please forgive us!"

"Lord… what must I do for you to forgive me! Tell me! I will definitely do it!"

"…"

Xiao Fan shook his head in disdain, and after extorting a hefty sum from them, he finally let them leave.

Regarding this matter, the ultimate mastermind was the Arena, but Xiao Fan didn't hold a grudge against the Arena. After all, he had blocked the Arena's path to wealth and caused them to lose money.

Furthermore, he did have some history with the Arena… and didn't want to burn all bridges.

In Xiao Fan's view, it was best to turn major issues into minor ones and minor issues into nothing, especially since he had made a killing in the process.

This incident quickly spread throughout the Nether Ghost Mansion…

The name Xiao Xuan became completely famous—a man who had made the Arena suffer consecutive losses.

Regarding the Arena, most people in the Nether Ghost Mansion didn't have a good impression of it…

The reason was simple: Wei Zhongshan from thousands of years ago had been someone cultivated by the Arena.

Even now, the deeds of Wei Zhongshan back then were still something that made people fearful.

Not only did he oppress the internal members of the Nether Ghost Mansion, but he also eventually robbed the Ghost Mansion's treasury, causing everyone in the Nether Ghost Mansion to live in poverty for a very long time…

How much Xiao Fan had taken that time, even the people of the Nether Ghost Mansion didn't know.

In fact, even Xiao Fan didn't know; he had taken so much that it was to the point where the star chart couldn't even be bothered to calculate it.

Later, he gave a lot to Yu Deyou, allowing him to calmly refine Acquired chaos divine treasure.

As for the rest, Xiao Fan gave a portion to Ye Miaoyin and some to the Zunshen Realm…

Even so, the resources on Xiao Fan were still unimaginably vast.

In truth, Xiao Fan wasn't lacking resources at all, but when resources arrived and people were offering gifts, how could he refuse?!

What he wanted wasn't really the resources, but a feeling—a sensation of floating in enjoyment.

In a blink of an eye, three months passed…

During this period, Xiao Fan still hadn't seen Xiao Li. With the help of the golden-armored powerhouse, Xiao Fan had even visited the vicinity of Xiao Li's Immortal Cave once.

It was just that there were too many powerhouses guarding the outside of Xiao Li's Immortal Cave, and he couldn't get close…

On this day, the day of the preliminary selection finally arrived.

The number of Divine Realms that had come to the Nether Ghost Mansion was countless, and each Divine Realm had three slots to compete for the ten spots to enter the Ancient Burial Holy Land.

Xiao Fan, Gu Qinglian, and Luan Yan went to the competition venue.

It was incredibly huge; Xiao Fan had been here before, and it was still the same…

When Xiao Fan arrived, he immediately attracted quite a few gazes.

"He is Xiao Xuan?!"

"That's right! It's him!"

"My god, he is so young…"

"This kid has non-trivial methods, just don't know how his strength is…"

"…"

The discussions around him continued, and everyone cast curious gazes at Xiao Fan.

The things Xiao Fan had done since arriving at the Nether Ghost Mansion made these Prodigies shocked, to the point they didn't even dare to think about them…

Xiao Fan looked indifferent; participating in this kind of preliminary selection was something he could do with his eyes closed.

Of course.

Xiao Fan couldn't let himself be too exposed, showing too much of his strength; just enough would suffice.

The competition began, with ten Arenas proceeding simultaneously…
