Chapter 5552: Selfish Motives

Soon, news spread from the Ancient Burial Holy Land that Xiao Fan would be holding a ceremony to become the Fourth Ancient Ancestor of Ancient Burial, inviting various powerful figures to attend in ten years.

This also included the factions that were resisting Xiao Fan.

Regardless of their size, all of them received an invitation.

Regarding this, these factions discussed it multiple times, believing that Xiao Fan harbored ill intentions.

" This Xiao Fan! He must be trying to use this opportunity to wipe us all out in one fell swoop! We cannot go! "

" Exactly! Once we arrive at the Ancient Burial Holy Land, that will be their territory! At that point, our lives and deaths will be decided by them! If we go, we will definitely die without a doubt! "

" That's right! We cannot go! "

" Indeed… we must not go! "

" … "

The factions resisting Xiao Fan were all in agreement.

As for the methods of Zhao Wuji and Ye Cang, they had naturally planted spies.

Among these factions resisting Xiao Fan, there were also spies they had planted.

Upon learning of this, Zhao Wuji was furious and immediately summoned Xiao Li, hoping that Xiao Li would step forward and teach these factions a lesson.

Xiao Li naturally did not refuse and set off that very day.

Xiao Li was filled with Killing Intent as he went straight to their door, and with his own strength, he nearly wiped out an entire Sect.

" Remember this! My father is not a merciful person! His magnanimity has its limits! When the day comes that my father loses his patience, that will be your doomsday! "

Xiao Li left behind these harsh words and then departed.

Over the course of half a year, Xiao Li visited more than thirty Sect factions, displaying overwhelming strength.

Regarding this, Xiao Xuan also wanted to go out and roam around, but Zhao Wuji stopped him.

According to Zhao Wuji, such matters were more than enough for Xiao Li to handle alone, and he told Xiao Xuan to continue to Cultivate.

Xiao Xuan naturally did not think much of it.

But Ye Cang noticed something amiss and privately had a talk with Zhao Wuji.

Xiao Li was raised by Zhao Wuji, and they shared a deep bond.

Although Zhao Wuji also liked Xiao Xuan very much, compared to Xiao Li, his feelings for Xiao Li were certainly greater.

Ye Cang was different; he was Ye Miaoyin's maternal grandfather, so naturally, he doted on Xiao Xuan more.

Ye Cang understood that Zhao Wuji sending Xiao Li out to make a name for himself was to cement Xiao Li's position in the Ancient Burial Holy Land, hoping that Xiao Li could succeed him in the future.

Regarding this, Zhao Wuji did not hide it and honestly admitted his selfish motives.

" Zhao Wuji, you are not wrong in this matter, but the person who will make the final decision is Xiao Fan, do you understand? " Ye Cang said calmly.

" I understand… " Zhao Wuji sighed: " In this matter, I indeed had selfish motives. "

" Hehehe… Enough, do not do this again in the future, otherwise… you will betray Xiao Fan's trust. "

" Alright, I understand. " Zhao Wuji was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

Xiao Fan entrusted all matters, big and small, to Zhao Wuji, completely trusting him.

If Zhao Wuji had his own selfish motives, over time, would he not eventually have the same thoughts as the Saint Evil Venerable?!

Ye Cang's reminder made Zhao Wuji suddenly realize…

Who would ultimately succeed him should indeed be left for Xiao Fan to decide.

Ye Cang suddenly smiled and said: " Besides, do you not understand Xiao Li? Do you think he prefers to Cultivate, or prefers to become stronger? "

" This… hehehe… That is true, I have overthought it… " Zhao Wuji shook his head with a bitter smile.

Regarding Zhao Wuji's selfish motives, whether it was Xiao Fan or Ye Miaoyin, everyone knew about it.

Zhao Wuji had raised Xiao Li and had long since viewed him as his own; Xiao Fan was well aware of this.

Having selfish motives was normal; after all, they were both his sons. As long as Zhao Wuji was not foolish enough to harm Xiao Xuan, it would be fine.

In the period that followed, the voices of resistance against Xiao Fan quieted down significantly.

There was no other way.

Xiao Li's methods were too forceful, and his strength was unimaginably terrifying.

Once Xiao Li arrived at one's door, there was no doubt that he was there to fight.

Who dared to provoke Xiao Li?!

Furthermore, even if they defeated Xiao Li, so what?!

If Xiao Fan were to come personally afterward, would that not be even worse?!

Regarding this, Holy Ancestor Kongchen declared to the outside world that he was willing to wholeheartedly pledge allegiance to Xiao Fan, and that Xiao Fan was the one whom everyone looked up to!

Anyone who opposed Xiao Fan becoming the Fourth Ancient Ancestor was resisting their Kongchen Holy Land.

Under the influence of Holy Ancestor Kongchen, there were even fewer people who dared to defy Xiao Fan's rule.

Inside the Ancient Burial Holy Land…

The most miserable person was none other than Yin Ming.
