Chapter 5724: The Next Step

"When have you seen him?!"

"Before! This Xiao Fan is despicable! He… he led the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix here! He killed many of our people!" Qu Muchen cried out in heartbreak: "Old Ancestor! You must uphold justice for us!"

Hearing this, many people changed color.

Xiao Fan's reputation in the Yuxu Sect had always been poor, so it was normal for him to do such a thing.

In fact, even without Qu Muchen's complaint, the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect would not have spared Xiao Fan.

Hearing of Xiao Fan's evil deeds, the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect did not change his expression at all.

Xiao Fan was the one who had broken through his Fusion with Ye Tianding with a single sword strike; the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect knew best how strong the opponent was.

Likewise, he also knew that Qu Muchen was lying.

With Xiao Fan's strength, if he were willing, why would he need to borrow the hand of the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix to deal with these people?

Undoubtedly, it must have been these people who were greedy for the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix's Dao Fruit in Xiao Fan's hands, thereby angering Xiao Fan.

Of course.

Regarding these matters, the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect had no interest in knowing, nor any interest in understanding.

"Xiao Fan! Disperse! Search for Xiao Fan's tracks! Once found, there will be a heavy reward!" the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the group of Yuxu Sect Disciples looked at each other and bowed before leaving.

They were going to search for Xiao Fan's tracks and then report back to the Old Ancestor.

As the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect, he would certainly not be stingy with rewards.

With the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect backing them up, the people of the Yuxu Sect gained confidence.

Even if they encountered people from other factions later, they would have no fear at all.

In fact, this was the case, as the Outer Heaven Secret Realm had become a place where the Yuxu Sect had the final say due to the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect.

Originally, Xiao Fan could also have obtained the protection of the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect, but because of that single sword strike, he had completely become the mortal enemy of the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect.

Likewise, Xiao Fan was also very clear that even without this incident, if the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect were to ask him for the Dao Fruit later, would he give it or not?!

If he didn't give it, he would still be at odds with the other party.

If he gave it, Xiao Fan would not be reconciled!

The Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix's Dao Fruit contained countless possibilities.

Afterwards, the people in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm searched for Xiao Fan.

The Yuxu Sect Disciples who were searching would only be throwing their lives away if they saw Xiao Fan.

Things had reached this point, and Xiao Fan no longer cared about his status as a Yuxu Sect Elder.

The Ancestor of Yuxu Sect had already ordered these Disciples to search for him, so why should he indulge them?!

At the same time, Xiao Fan decided to find a place to refine the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix's Dao Fruit.

When the day came for the Outer Heaven Secret Realm to open, he would definitely have to leave.

By that time, if he did not have the power to protect himself, the consequences could be imagined.

Several days later.

Xiao Fan returned to the Extreme Southern Land and decided to go into seclusion in the Extreme Southern Land.

The reason for choosing the Extreme Southern Land was simple: the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Even the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix would not think that he would go to its lair to go into seclusion.

As for the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix, it was still searching everywhere in the Secret Realm for Xiao Fan's tracks…

The Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix was even more anxious; now that a powerhouse it could not contend with had appeared, if it did not seize the time to take back the Dao Fruit, and the Dao Fruit fell into this person's hands, it would have no hope of revenge in this lifetime.

Xiao Fan went into seclusion, took out the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix's Dao Fruit, and used his Power of the Mortal Immortal to begin refining it.

The Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix's Dao Fruit contained unimaginable Immortal Power, and this massive amount of Immortal Power needed to be suppressed before it could be successfully refined.

One must know that although the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix's current Realm was only the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm, the other party was previously a Half-step Immortal King.

The other party's Dao Fruit was intact and was also at the Half-step Immortal King level.

It was easy to imagine the difficulty Xiao Fan would face in trying to suppress a Half-step Immortal King's Dao Fruit.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan had many supreme treasures in his possession.

The star chart, the void ring, the yukong furnace, and even the world-fixing disk were willing to contribute.

Working together, they were finally able to suppress the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix's Dao Fruit.

Xiao Fan had previously obtained the Phoenix Method, so refining the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix's Dao Fruit now was destined to yield twice the result with half the effort.

As the Dao Fruit was refined, Xiao Fan's aura climbed steadily…

…

Three months later…

"Old Ancestor, there is still no trace of Xiao Fan! What should be done?!" The Sect Master of Yuxu Sect looked grim as he reported the news to the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect.

"Still none? Hehehe… Then forget it. Tell the Disciples to stop searching. The day we leave the Outer Heaven Secret Realm will be the day of his death," the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect said coldly.

Hearing this, the Sect Master of Yuxu Sect nodded: "Old Ancestor is wise. Then what is our next step?!"

"The next step? Where is that Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix? Has it been confirmed?!" the Ancestor of Yuxu Sect asked.
