Chapter 6176: Keeping One’s Word After All

Xiao Fan's threat had worked; the Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect's face turned ashen as he glared intently at Xiao Fan.

"Boy, remember this! If Zhong Xingmo dies, you will surely die as well!"

"Threatening the Divine Son of my Xianyu Sect right in front of me! Aren't you being a bit too arrogant?!" The Xianyu Sect Ancestor barked, a terrifying aura erupting from him.

This aura caused the surrounding winds to surge and clouds to scatter, forcing everyone to retreat involuntarily.

"You two! Calm down! Everyone, calm down! This is just a matter between children; there's no need to make such a big scene!" the Seven Saint Sect Patriarch urged anxiously.

"A matter between children? Hehehe… Indeed, but isn't the Ghost Demon Sect being far too unreasonable in how they handle things?" the Xianyu Sect Ancestor said coldly.

"How is our Ghost Demon Sect being unreasonable?!" the Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect retorted frostily.

"Oh? So you're saying you are being reasonable? He clearly lost, yet you, the dignified Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect, still intend to intervene?!" The Xianyu Sect Ancestor shook his head dismissively.

"I…" The Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect was fuming, cursing Zhong Xingmo in his heart for being such a useless waste.

If Zhong Xingmo had won, he wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation.

His position and that of the Xianyu Sect Ancestor would have been completely reversed.

"Hehehe… What? Am I not speaking the truth? A loss is a loss. Is your Ghost Demon Sect trying to back out of your obligations?!"

"Our Ghost Demon Sect never goes back on its word," the Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect said in a low voice.

"Since you claim you won't back out, then the battle between Xiao Fan and Zhong Xingmo isn't over yet—it's a battle to the death." The Xianyu Sect Ancestor turned and glanced at Xiao Fan.

"Xiao Fan, how do you plan to deal with him? The choice is yours."

At this moment, the Xianyu Sect Ancestor had already developed a killing intent.

He might as well just let Xiao Fan kill Zhong Xingmo.

In any case, the relationship between the Xianyu Sect and the Ghost Demon Sect was now beyond repair.

If Xiao Fan killed Zhong Xingmo and then entered a marriage alliance with the Saintess of Seven Saints Sect…

…it would be a win-win situation for the Xianyu Sect.

However, Xiao Fan's next words left the Xianyu Sect Ancestor stunned.

"Hahaha… A mere Zhong Xingmo is nothing more than a stray dog. Whether he lives or dies depends entirely on my whim." Xiao Fan laughed wildly, casting a cold gaze toward the Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect.

"Senior, I'm quite interested in the Forbidden Technique Zhong Xingmo used just now. How about we make a deal? I'll spare Zhong Xingmo's life if you give me that Cultivation Technique."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was taken aback.

"Eh? Xiao Fan, what are you trying to do?!" The Xianyu Sect Ancestor was stunned, looking at Xiao Fan in surprise.

"Don't worry, Old Ancestor. I'm just curious and want to take a look."

The Xianyu Sect Ancestor frowned deeply, unable to figure out what Xiao Fan was thinking.

The Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect's expression shifted uncertainly.

He wanted the Ghost Demon Sect's Forbidden Technique?

Under normal circumstances, this would have been absolutely impossible.

But now, Zhong Xingmo had fallen into Xiao Fan's hands.

If Xiao Fan were to kill Zhong Xingmo, it would be an unimaginable loss for the Ghost Demon Sect.

It was a dilemma.

"This Xiao Fan, why would he want a Cultivation Technique from the Ghost Demon Sect?!"

"I don't know! Could it be that he thinks the Ghost Demon Sect's Forbidden Technique is very powerful?!"

"It is strong, but… will the Ghost Demon Sect actually give it to him?!"

"…"

All around, the crowd was abuzz with discussion.

Everyone was curious to see what the Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect would do next.

Even the Seven Saint Sect Patriarch was surprised, looking at Xiao Fan in astonishment, wondering what his plan was.

"Well? Senior, the technique is a dead thing, but Zhong Xingmo is still alive. If you don't give it to me, then Zhong Xingmo will be a dead thing too." Xiao Fan spoke flatly, holding Zhong Xingmo by the head.

"I… fine!" After a moment's hesitation, the Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect let out a breath.

"Hahaha… Senior is quite decisive. Hand over the technique."

"Release Zhong Xingmo first."

"Senior, you're so powerful, are you really afraid I'll cheat you?" Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow. "Give me the technique first, and I will naturally release Zhong Xingmo. I'm also worried you might go back on your word; after all, I'm not as strong as you, right?"

The Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect didn't bother haggling with Xiao Fan further. A pitch-black Jade Slip appeared in his palm, and he tossed it directly to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan caught the Jade Slip and scanned it with his Divine Soul.

It was indeed the Forbidden Technique of an Ancient Demonic Technique.

"Senior, you truly are a man of your word. Here is Zhong Xingmo." Smiling, Xiao Fan threw Zhong Xingmo toward the Ancestor of the Ghost Demon Sect.

"Senior, let me give you a piece of advice: this Zhong Xingmo isn't all that great. If the Ghost Demon Sect wants to grow big and strong, you'd better find someone else to be your Demon Son."
