Chapter 5723: Ancestor of Yuxu Sect

"Hehehe… what was with that Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix just now?!" the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect spoke coldly.

Even though Xiao Fan had interfered and caused him to emerge early, the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect was still in a good mood.

After all, having been in seclusion in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, he could finally be reborn.

"Xiao Fan stole its Dao Fruit! So…"

"This Xiao Fan again? Interesting," the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect sneered.

"Old Ancestor, your current Realm…"

"After completely obliterating Ye Tianding's Divine Soul, I will be a Half-step Immortal King, just one step away from the Immortal King."

"Congratulations, Old Ancestor! Great congratulations, Old Ancestor!" Hearing this, the Sect Master of Yuxu Sect spoke hurriedly.

"Hehehe… let's go, let's go out and take a look," the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect said with a smile.

"Yes! Old Ancestor!" The Sect Master of Yuxu Sect nodded, sighing silently in his heart.

Xiao Fan had offended the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect; even if he pleaded for mercy, it wouldn't change anything.

Before the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect, who was about to reach the Half-step Immortal King Realm, Xiao Fan was in an almost certain death situation.

…

"That was close… what on earth was that terrifying aura?"

On the other side, Xiao Fan used the Power of Samsara to escape to a safe place.

That mysterious fleshy ball trapped Ye Tianding's Physical Body. Who was the other party, and why did they do that?!

What was the point of doing this?!

Did they want to carry out a Possession of Ye Tianding?!

Then who was it that wanted to perform a Possession on Ye Tianding?!

Was it someone from the Yuxu Sect?!

Given that the Sect Master of Yuxu Sect was acting as a Protector, this person must be of the Old Ancestor level within the Yuxu Sect.

"After joining the Yuxu Sect, I never heard anything about an Ancestor of Yuxu Sect…" Xiao Fan murmured, suddenly realizing something.

But he didn't know why the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect wanted to perform a Possession on Ye Tianding, or what kind of secrets were hidden within.

Ye Tianding's intelligence being suppressed earlier was likely for this reason as well.

Now, if the other party was fine, the grudge between them would likely be impossible to resolve.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan felt a headache coming on…

"Sigh… this is troublesome," Xiao Fan sighed softly.

He had helped Ye Tianding, but it felt like he had dug a hole for himself.

If he really ruined the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect's plans, the entire Yuxu Sect might become his enemy.

If it really came to that, one could imagine his future situation.

Xiao Fan couldn't sense the aura of the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix. Taking this opportunity, Xiao Fan used the Power of the Mortal Immortal to erase the mark the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix had left on him.

It wasn't that Xiao Fan couldn't erase the mark; it just required some time.

On the other side…

The Ancestor of Yuxu Sect had performed a Possession on Ye Tianding, and his strength was now just half a step away from the Half-step Immortal King.

At this moment, he was an invincible existence within the Outer Heaven Secret Realm.

"All Yuxu Sect Disciples! Assemble!"

At this time, the Sect Master of Yuxu Sect sent a message to all Disciples.

The disciple tokens of all surviving Yuxu Sect Disciples rang out simultaneously as they received the Sect Master's message.

Seeing it was a message from the Sect Master, everyone immediately rushed over.

Three days later…

Most of the Yuxu Sect Disciples had arrived, and they saw the Sect Master of Yuxu Sect as well as Ye Tianding.

But the current Ye Tianding felt different to them; his expression was cold, and he looked down upon all living beings, completely different from before.

"Is that Ye Tianding?!"

"He doesn't really seem like him!"

"I don't think so either…"

…

Quite a few people whispered among themselves, cautiously glancing at Ye Tianding.

Seeing the atmosphere wasn't right, the Sect Master of Yuxu Sect cleared his throat and spoke in a deep voice, "Silence! This is not Ye Tianding! This is our Ancestor of Yuxu Sect!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, revealing expressions of astonishment as they stared blankly at Ye Tianding—no… it should be the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect.

To this, the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect remained indifferent. He had been in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm for hundreds of thousands of years and didn't care about the affairs of the Yuxu Sect at all.

After the shock wore off, the Yuxu Sect Disciples and Elders all bowed down to the Old Ancestor.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

"Salutations, Old Ancestor!"

…

"You may rise," the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect said indifferently. "Do you know where Xiao Fan is?!"

At those words, most people shook their heads in unison.

From within the crowd, a man covered in wounds stepped forward.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor! Disciple Qu Muchen has seen Xiao Fan before!"
