Yunzhi's respect for Pu Xian stemd from Pu Xian's strength.
However, when Yunzhi discovered that soone as powerful as Pu Xian, when confronted with Xu Fan, uttered words like "beyond one's control," Yunzhi's gaze upon Pu Xian subtly changed.
In truth, Pu Xian indeed felt sowhat out of control.
Originally, Pu Xian viewed Xu Fan with disdain. Xu Fan's host position was a high and mighty grant from Pu Xian. But now, faced with the suddenly powerful Xu Fan, Pu Xian had to alter his lofty manner, even when speaking out of anger, he had to be cautious.
How could such a situation be what Pu Xian desired?
Hence, Pu Xian ordered the opening of the Buddhist Sect without acknowledging Xu Fan as the host, intending to test Xu Fan's depth through this thod.
A terrifying existence that has lived for thousands of years like Pu Xian can spot any flaws as soon as Xu Fan displays them.
However, now Pu Xian truly dared not take any more risks in testing Xu Fan, although Xu Fan always wore a smile, appearing harmless, but when Pu Xian looked at Xu Fan's smiling face, he couldn't help but feel a bit scared!
"Xu dear benefactor, to be honest, earlier I sincerely wanted to hand over the Buddhist Sect to you! To support you, I even made a three-year agreent with the benefactor, a genuine heart, witnessed by the sun and moon..."
Pu Xian first forcibly defended himself, but after seeing Xu Fan's face without showing the expected emotional gratitude, Pu Xian couldn't help but curse Xu Fan as ungrateful in his heart.
anwhile, Pu Xian continued speaking, "Who would have thought Xu dear benefactor possesses such extraordinary talent, within a short ti, not only did your cultivation level soar, strength surged, even Mysterious Light Realm strongn are not feared, moreover having Li Long as a backer."
"So-called young hero, is likely just so!"
With these words, Pu Xian skillfully evaded all key points, rely portraying himself as a kindly and well-intentioned samaritan, continuously praising Xu Fan, making it easy for people to feel favorable.
Unfortunately, even though Xu Fan maintained a smile, there was an indistinct coldness in that smile.
Today, Xu Fan ca to the Buddhist Sect not to hear Pu Xian's flattery; without clarifying certain things, Xu Fan had no intention of letting Pu Xian off easily.
Behind Xu Fan, Jiang Quan unapologetically sneered.
What happened to the person who tried to use tricks in front of Xu Fan last ti? Even if this old monk is strong, reaching Kai Yang Realm, is he stronger than the Pope of the Church of Light? Or stronger than the Speaker of the Dark Council?
Without strength, to dare play tricks in front of Xu Fan is simply courting death!
Seeing the expressions of both n, Pu Xian's face turned grim.
A rare occasion for a strongman like Pu Xian to flatter soone, however, it backfired with this result, Pu Xian's face was awkward while in his heart, he was filled with extre hatred for Xu Fan.
Yet, he dared not speak his anger.
The current status of Xu Fan was far too sensitive, especially with the trial day approaching, who would dare to make a move against Xu Fan at this ti?
Knowing that besides being Li Long's representative, Xu Fan also possesses quite a number of Bronze Boxes! Whether an adversary or not, acting now would only incite trouble for oneself!
At this mont, Pu Xian had long lost any intention of probing Xu Fan's depth; he wanted only to quickly send this troubleso figure away, as far as possible from his presence.
After stabilizing his emotions, Pu Xian again spoke with earnest persuasion, "Xu dear benefactor, to be honest, the reason I address you as Xu dear benefactor and not host is for your own good!"
"Previously, the reason I supported Xu dear benefactor was out of admiration and respect for you. Who could have anticipated that recently, a ssage suddenly ca from the Upper Realm that the trial for qualifying slots is about to comnce, and the representative to fight for the Buddhist Sect can only be the host!"
"Not to ntion this trial involves fierce competition among Earth, and even the entire Upper Realm forces, carrying great risk. I cannot bear to see Xu dear benefactor in danger, especially now with Li Long as your backing, such a sensitive status..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan's doubts were almost entirely resolved.
Previously, Xu Fan had suspected that Pu Xian's recomndation to appoint him as the Buddhist Sect host and the establishnt of a three-year agreent, demanding he grow stronger, was likely with the intention to have him represent the Buddhist Sect in the Divine Demon Battlefield, to fight for Treasures.
The passage to the Divine Demon Battlefield is highly unstable, not allowing those above Kai Yang Realm to pass through, considering Xu Fan's strength far exceeds the usual Realm, Pu Xian valued this trait, tempting with the host position and firmly tying Xu Fan to the Buddhist Sect's big ship was entirely plausible.
As for the subsequent betrayal, it was actually not outside Xu Fan's expectations.
Simple conflicting interests, that's all.
However, given that Xu Fan had now arrived at the Buddhist Sect, certain things were destined to change.
"Master, you've overthought. I am the host of the Buddhist Sect, my heart belongs to the Buddhist Sect. At such a critical mont, how could I forsake the Buddhist Sect due to personal safety concerns?"
Xu Fan's righteous statent left everyone in the scene stunned.
What does Xu Fan an by this? Although each word sounds righteous, how does it sound intimidating when strung together?
Yunzhi was shocked, could it be that these two big shots were going to fight for power? Indeed, power bends the back of n, even these two mighty figures cannot escape it.
Pu Xian stamred, "Xu, Xu dear benefactor, what do you an by this?"
Xu Fan smilingly gazed at the bewildered Pu Xian, saying with a smile, "Master favored repeatedly when I was insignificant, entrusted with the host's heavy burden. Naturally, I cannot disappoint such kindness. re troubles, just trivialities."
re troubles, just trivialities?
What a jest!
Though Xu Fan now has Li Long's backing, yet it also makes his status increasingly sensitive, even making him an adversary to the world! Xu Fan drawing a line with the Buddhist Sect will not endanger the Buddhist Sect at all, but letting you beco host is the greatest danger to the Buddhist Sect!
Without hesitation, Pu Xian imdiately rejected, "Xu dear benefactor's sincerity moves heaven and earth, surpassing this monk, but now Xu dear benefactor represents Li Long, how can our Buddhist Sect aim so high..."
Xu Fan coldly laughed, yet spoke with righteousness, "Master overthinks, am I soone who forgets humility because of status? As for the trial, this host has plans, the Buddhist Sect has no worries."
With a single statent, not only did he directly refer to himself as host but also set the tone for the trial, indeed showing unparalleled assertiveness.
Moreover, the phrase "forget humility because of status" carries an insulting tone, the esteed host position of the Buddhist Sect in Xu Fan's eyes turned into a base occupation.
The conversation had reached a stage where Pu Xian could no longer continue, while Yunzhi was utterly terrified, not daring to make a sound.
The facade was torn, Pu Xian's smile faded, he gloomily said, "Xu dear benefactor, do you really want to make things difficult for this monk?"
Xu Fan's smile did not waver, yet answered the unasked question, suddenly asking softly, "Master, have you ever seen an Immortal Artifact?"
