The High-Profile Xiao Fan

Flying ships arrived one after another from all directions.

All of them were sect factions coming to participate in the Righteous Path Leader Competition, as well as cultivators coming to watch the battles.

"There are quite a few powerful sects participating this time that require our attention."

Zhou Muxi looked at the numerous contestants and introduced the situations of the other opponents one by one.

"Apart from the Taishang Dao Sect being our main opponent, the other factions cannot be underestimated. For example, the Tianji Pavilion, Star Palace, Xuanmiao Sect, Tyrant Blade Sect, and Mountain Cleaving Sect are the ones we need to pay special attention to."

"These five sects all have Saint Realm cultivators and are fully capable of participating in the entire competition process. Their strength is not weak. As for the other sects, you don't need to pay too much attention to them."

There were about a dozen sects participating in the Righteous Path Leader Competition, but most of them were just here to join in the fun. The real contenders for the leader position were those sects with Saint Realm cultivators.

After all, sects without Saint Realm cultivators couldn't even participate in the final match of the combat power competition, making it impossible for them to become the leader.

Their goal was simply to rank higher than they did two hundred years ago. This would also elevate their reputation and attract more cultivators to join their sects.

Some cultivators, knowing their talents wouldn't be highly valued in top-tier sects, would choose slightly lesser sects.

"Of course, even if you encounter sects with Saint Realm cultivators, there is no need to be too nervous. Since you were selected by me to participate, you are all outstanding individuals in your respective realms. There are very few people who are more excellent than you."

Zhou Muxi began her pre-battle mobilization, while Huang Xiaoyao and the others looked around.

Mo Tianxiao felt a bit bored and scanned the contestants from other factions.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, in the ranks of a certain faction, he accidentally spotted what seemed to be a familiar face.

The corners of Mo Tianxiao's mouth curled up slightly, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. "Good heavens, you actually dare to return to the Taishang Dao Sect?"

On the flying ship of the Star Pavilion team, a resolute-looking, long-haired Xiao Fan noticed someone watching him. He turned his head to look, and his pupils slightly shrank.

"It's her!"

Seeing Mo Tianxiao's figure, the memories in Xiao Fan's mind instantly became clear. It was the guy who had scammed him out of a rare treasure and caused him to lose a hundred million spirit stones!

He had waited bitterly in that mortal town for months, but didn't even see a shadow of those people. At that moment, he realized he had been deceived!

A wave of anger rose in Xiao Fan's heart, and he even wanted to rush over immediately to confront Mo Tianxiao on the spot about why she didn't keep her promise.

However, seeing that the other party was in the team of the Haoran Righteous Sect, Xiao Fan temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart.

Now in the territory of the Taishang Dao Sect, he could not be careless. Although more than fifty years had passed and his appearance had changed significantly, he couldn't guarantee that the people of the Taishang Dao Sect wouldn't recognize him.

To be safe, before entering the Taishang Dao Sect, he took out a mask from his spatial ring and pressed it onto his face. In an instant, his facial features underwent subtle changes.

Although it still looked somewhat similar to his original appearance, upon closer inspection, there were many differences.

However, all of this happened right in front of Mo Tianxiao's eyes.

Seeing Xiao Fan's actions, Mo Tianxiao felt a wave of shock in his heart. "Does this guy not even hide when disguising himself?"

"As expected of a child of destiny, quite full of personality."

Mo Tianxiao admired him for a moment, already forming a plan in his mind. "Since you are so high-profile, I'll let you be even more high-profile this time."

As Zhou Muxi's pre-battle mobilization ended, the flying ship had also sailed into the Taishang Dao Sect.

The competition venue was a vast plaza. The factions coming to watch the battles had already begun taking their seats in a venue large enough to accommodate over a million cultivators.

Seeing so many cultivators for the first time, Mo Tianxiao couldn't help but smack his lips. "This is the grandest event in the Central Divine Continent. It truly is magnificent."

"That is only natural. Why, feeling pressured facing so many cultivators?"

Zhou Muxi walked up and joked with a smile.

Mo Tianxiao didn't say a word. He was somewhat curious: if he exposed his identity as a demonic cultivator in this situation, would he be able to leave alive?

"By the way, Sister Muxi, there's a small matter I need your help with."

"What is it?"

"Nothing major, I just want you to help me deal with someone. I have some grudges against him."

"Let's hear it."

Adding a lot of embellished details, Mo Tianxiao told Zhou Muxi about how he had supposedly been scammed out of a hundred million spirit stones and a rare treasure by Xiao Fan, asking her to uphold justice for him.

A child of destiny still had to be dealt with by another child of destiny.

A small fry like Xiao Fan would be nothing without his golden finger grandpa. He probably couldn't possibly be a match for Zhou Muxi.

After hearing Mo Tianxiao's words, Zhou Muxi looked at him with some suspicion. "Are you sure everything you said is true?"

Why did she feel a sense of incongruity running through this entire story?

This guy, leading a group of underlings, would get scammed by someone else?

"I, Nan Mo, swear in the name of a righteous cultivator that every word I said is true. Sister Muxi, just tell me if you'll help or not."

Zhou Muxi fell slightly silent. Since forming an alliance with the other party, he hadn't helped her out at all; instead, she had lost count of how many favors she had done for him.

She always felt like she was the one being duped.

"Oh, Sister Muxi, don't worry. I will go all out to help you secure the title of Righteous Path Leader!"

Zhou Muxi's brows furrowed even tighter. What did that mean? If she didn't help with this, was the other party going to throw the matches?

To actually dare to threaten her, this guy truly had a lot of nerve.

"Alright, I'll keep this matter in mind and keep an eye out for you."

Zhou Muxi was no pushover either. She couldn't just agree outright, so she used delaying tactics first, waiting to figure out the target's strength.

Just a cultivator who had barely broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, yet required her help to deal with. At a glance, it was obvious this was no ordinary person. She needed to investigate clearly first.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Sister."

Mo Tianxiao cupped his hands and left.

Seeing Mo Tianxiao leave, Zhou Muxi took out a golden token. "Investigate someone named Xiao Fan from the Star Pavilion. He joined within the last thirty years, perhaps using an alias. Find out everything about him."

For this kind of thing, she would let the Blood God Palace figure it out first.

If the other party truly was just a small fry, disposing of him casually wouldn't hurt; she could just treat it as an advance payment.

"You really know how to boss your sister around, Sister Nan. I hope you don't disappoint me."

Zhou Muxi's eyes turned sharp. In this Righteous Path Leader Competition, she would first observe the capabilities of this "good sister" before deciding on further matters.

After all, her main reason for roping in Mo Tianxiao was for the sake of the Blood God Palace.

Mo Tianxiao didn't know Zhou Muxi's thoughts. Of course, even if he did, he wouldn't care. He never engaged in losing deals.

Everyone was just using each other. Since it was mutual exploitation, he wouldn't be polite. Any trouble he had, he would simply dump it all on the other party. Such a powerful ally would be a waste not to use.
