Chapter 5178: Making a Deal

Xiao Fan had already decided to refine the divine tribulation immortal fruit within the Kongchen Imperial City.

But not just yet. Xiao Fan needed to make a round through the various factions and orthodoxies first to extort some benefits.

However, given his current situation, it would be easy to run into trouble if he ventured out recklessly…

Xiao Fan thought of a good idea. With a mischievous grin, he gave Old Ancestor Qingyun a quick word before heading back with Xiao Qing and Xiao Xuan.

Old Ancestor Qingyun was also well aware of what might happen next.

But he was helpless; with the strength of Qingyun Academy, he couldn't protect Xiao Fan at all.

Xiao Fan knew this too. If he were truly just a minor Disciple of Qingyun Academy, trying to protect the divine tribulation immortal fruit would be nothing but a pipe dream.

Back at their residence, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Qing also voiced their concerns, fearing that the top-tier powers might send people to snatch the divine tribulation immortal fruit.

“Hehehe… Rest assured, it'll be fine,” Xiao Fan laughed. “Everything has been arranged.”

After a few words with Xiao Qing and Xiao Xuan, Xiao Fan went into the Secret Room.

Afterward, Xiao Fan's Divine Soul entered the star chart, where he met Ye Miaoyin.

At this moment, Ye Miaoyin's face was pale and her aura was very unstable. The power of the kongtong immortal seal was entwined with wisps of Emperor Realm aura.

“Miaoyin, you…” Xiao Fan's expression changed drastically as he rushed to her side.

“Don't worry, I'm fine,” Ye Miaoyin smiled.

“Is it because you suppressed the power of the immortal seal within my body?!” Xiao Fan asked, his expression darkening.

“Not entirely. It's mainly because I'm about to achieve a Breakthrough, and the power of the kongtong immortal seal is deliberately causing trouble…” Ye Miaoyin smiled.

According to Ye Miaoyin's explanation, her Realm had already loosened, and she could undergo her Heavenly Tribulation at any time.

But the current situation was that the power of the kongtong immortal seal had been constantly disrupting her.

Xiao Fan suspected that the kongtong immortal seal had been able to trigger the seal power within him and Ye Miaoyin long ago, but the other party simply hadn't done so yet.

The goal was to have Hua Xiangying make a move during the competition to give him an unexpected interference.

At this moment, Xiao Fan felt fortunate that Ye Miaoyin hadn't rushed her Breakthrough. Otherwise, if the seal power within her interfered while she was Undergoing Tribulation, things would have been disastrous.

“Don't worry, there's a way to handle it,” Xiao Fan said with a smile.

“A way? What way?!” Ye Miaoyin was surprised.

“Hehehe… You'll find out when the time comes.” Xiao Fan kept her in suspense.

He told Ye Miaoyin to rest well. Once her condition stabilized, he intended to take her out for a trip.

Ye Miaoyin wasn't clear on Xiao Fan's plans, but she nodded and agreed anyway.

That night…

Old Ancestor Qingyun was overjoyed and pulled Xiao Fan aside to drink and celebrate.

“Xiao Fan! Our Qingyun Academy has a chance to stand tall! You are the greatest contributor! I… I toast to you!” Old Ancestor Qingyun laughed loudly.

“Hehehe… Senior, please don't be so polite,” Xiao Fan said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

The various Elders of Qingyun Academy also spoke up one after another.

Because of Xiao Fan, although Qingyun Academy had made many enemies, it had also gained immense fame.

After the recent events, Old Ancestor Qingyun had gained a new perspective.

“If a Sect wants to grow strong, it must have courage! Courage!” Old Ancestor Qingyun laughed. “Toughness! The Sect must become tough!”

“Right! Exactly,” Xiao Fan nodded. “Senior! You've finally attained enlightenment!”

“Hahaha… You bet!” Old Ancestor Qingyun let out a hearty laugh.

Just then, three experts from the Rakshasa Sect arrived for a visit.

The Rakshasa Sect was considered a second-rate power. Back in the Divine Gate Secret Realm, Xiao Fan had plundered the Prodigies of the Rakshasa Sect.

When the people from the Rakshasa Sect arrived, Old Ancestor Qingyun and the others grew tense.

But immediately after, Old Ancestor Qingyun and the others felt relieved.

They had already offended the Ancient Wolf Immortal Clan, the Ancient Demon God Clan, and the Kongtong Immortal Clan; why would they fear a mere Rakshasa Sect?!

Thus, Old Ancestor Qingyun waved his hand and had an Elder of Qingyun Academy lead the people from the Rakshasa Sect inside.

“Gentlemen! What brings you here?” Old Ancestor Qingyun spoke indifferently.

The three experts from the Rakshasa Sect exchanged glances. All three looked toward Xiao Fan, and then one of them spoke.

“Hehehe… We've come to make a deal.”
