Chapter 2290: Chapter 2325: Personally Escorting
"Uh..."
Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong were startled. This person drew his sword to kill as soon as he arrived? And the method was terrifying—to think he decapitated three Sixth Level Divine Realm experts with what seemed like a casual swing!
Ding Fan was also terrified; Seventh Level experts were indeed this powerful? This person was truly brutal, killing three people in the blink of an eye.
Guan Qiang didn’t look at the three people. He didn’t release a Divine Soldier Pellet, but just floated mid-air. His gaze turned back to Ding Fan and said, "Are you Master Ding Fan? I am Guan Qiang, the Wild Wolf Sect Master. I’ve arrived late and startled the young master."
Ding Fan nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. The crisis was finally over. With Guan Qiang, Ding Fan could proceed smoothly on the path ahead.
Ding Fan said to Guan Qiang: "Sect Master Guan, you don’t need to blame yourself. Luckily, you arrived in time. If not for you, the three of us would have been in danger. Thank you for your help."
Guan Qiang smiled, paused, and then asked, "Young master, may I ask you something? Is Ding Aohuang one of your elders?"
"Hmm?"
Ding Fan, Zhong Zhiyong, and Crimson Flame were a bit surprised. How did Guan Qiang guess so quickly? Ding Fan thought for a moment and did not deny it, nodding slightly.
Seeing Ding Fan nod, Guan Qiang flew down, stood before Ding Fan, and excitedly knelt on one knee, saying, "Guan Qiang pays respects to the young master!"
Ding Fan’s eyebrows furrowed immediately. Guan Qiang’s reaction was rather exaggerated. He was a Seventh Level Divine Realm expert after all. Seeing his appearance, he seemed very excited; could he know Sirius Elder Ding Aohuang?
Ding Fan froze and after a while, hurriedly reached out to help Guan Qiang up, then asked, "Does Sect Master Guan know my master?"
Guan Qiang stood up but didn’t speak. His Divine Sense scanned the surroundings. After confirming no one else was nearby, he smiled and said, "I not only know him but also had the honor of following the Young Family Head for half a month. Ha... In the entire Eastern Central Plains, anyone who is a Sixth Level Divine Realm expert or above would surely recognize him."
"Young Family Head?"
Ding Fan’s eyes sparkled, and he asked ambiguously: "Are you saying... my master is the Young Family Head of the Sirius Clan?"
Ding Fan knew his master, Ding Aohuang, held a transcendent status in the Sirius Clan, yet he didn’t know he was the Young Family Head. Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong only knew of Sirius Elder Ding Aohuang from the Ding Family of the Sirius Clan and knew nothing else.
Guan Qiang seemed a bit surprised and asked, "Did the Young Family Head not tell you anything about himself?"
Ding Fan nodded, having only seen a passage left by Sirius Elder explaining, "The young master is not only the son of the previous Generation Head of the Ding Family but also the most unusual genius of the Ding Family; he is the first genius in the last hundred thousand years of the Central Plains. At the age of twenty, he broke through the Seventh Level Divine Realm, dominating within his realm, sweeping across the entire Central Plains."
"Twenty years old..."
Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong were at a loss for words, but Crimson Flame wasn’t particularly surprised. When he saw Ding Aohuang back then, he only seemed to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, so he relaxed a bit.
Guan Qiang asked in a low voice, "Young master, where is the Young Family Head now? He’s been missing for almost a hundred years, and during his disappearance, the Sirius Clan searched frantically for him."
Zhong Zhiyong’s mouth moved slightly. Ding Fan glanced at him, and Zhong Zhiyong immediately closed his mouth. Crimson Flame, by nature, was indifferent to everything. Not to mention taking the initiative to speak, even when asked, he wouldn’t bother to respond.
Ding Fan thought for a while and said, "Let’s return to the city first. We can talk about these things later. Besides, there are still experts from the Wang Family in Shen City."
"Alright!"
Guan Qiang nodded, took out a golden chariot, boarded everyone, and flew towards Shen City.
Having a Seventh Level Divine Realm expert by his side, Ding Fan felt at ease. After flying for a while, he curiously asked, "Sect Master Guan, how did you recognize me as Ding Aohuang’s descendant at a glance?"
Guan Qiang smiled slightly, turned around, and said, "It’s not just me; anyone who has seen your master would recognize you at first sight because you... your demeanor resembles your master so much. Although there are slight differences, he has a sharp appearance and an inherently convincing aura. Anyone who sees him would follow and obey him loyally, yet find him unintrusive. You are indeed similar to him, though you appear more approachable."
"Oh, I see!"
Ding Fan recalled the portrait Crimson Flame showed him; Crimson Flame said he looked much like Sirius Aohuang. At this moment, he nodded lightly and said nothing more.
They weren’t too far from Shen City. Back then, Zhong Zhiyong had to take care of Ding Fan, so their escape wasn’t swift. At that time, Wang Fei and the others quickly caught up. However, returning now, they were on Guan Qiang’s flying chariot, so Ding Fan and the others reached Shen City in just half an hour.
Shen City was very quiet. The battle had long ended. The Wang Family hadn’t stopped the fight voluntarily; it was because the experts from the Wild Wolf Sect arrived, so how could the Wang Family dare to cause trouble?
Arriving outside Shen City, Wang Jian, Wang Wu, and a sixth-level expert from the Divine Realm were hovering in the sky. Surrounding them were masters from the Wild Wolf Sect, with Bai Wuxin and Bai Wuqing standing nearby. Everyone knew that Guan Qiang had gone after Ding Fan, so they did not pursue further, waiting here for their return.
"Sect Master!"
The members of the Wild Wolf Sect saluted immediately when they saw Guan Qiang and Ding Fan return. Bai Wuxin and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ding Fan, and smiled from a distance.
Guan Qiang nodded slightly. Looking at Wang Jian and the others, he turned to Ding Fan and said, "Young Master, what about these three people?"
Wang Jian and the others turned pale. Guan Qiang returned, but Wang Fei and the others were nowhere to be seen, giving them a foreboding feeling.
Wang Fei pondered for a moment, gritting his teeth and said, "Sect Master Guan, we are from the Wang Family. I believe you have heard of our clan leader, Wang Zhongjian. We were wrong in this matter, but there might be misunderstandings. Could we discuss this in light of our clan leader’s reputation?"
The Wang Ai Family is also a Level Six Family, and their clan leader Wang Zhongjian is a sixth-level expert in the Divine Realm and a notable figure in the Central Plains. Guan Qiang must have heard of Wang Zhongjian.
Wang Jian thought that since everyone was from Level Six Families, killing them would mean declaring war on the Wang Family. If both powerful forces clashed, Guan Qiang likely wouldn’t want that scenario.
However, Guan Qiang completely ignored Wang Jian, as if he hadn’t heard him, only kept looking at Ding Fan, waiting for his decision.
"Kill them!"
Ding Fan was not one to show mercy; if they were his enemies, he would not hold back. Guan Qiang nodded, without looking at Wang Jian and the others, simply waved his hand.
"Boom boom boom~"
Almost twenty sixth-level expert from the Divine Realm launched strong True Insight attacks, and the three were pulverized before they could react.
"Boom~"
In the air, it was as if a sun exploded here. Wang Wu and another expert immediately turned into shreds, Wang Jian could resist for a while, but soon his body exploded into fragments. The Wild Wolf Sect’s twenty Divine Realm experts attacked simultaneously, including several at peak sixth level. Wang Jian and the others were unable to defend against them.
The explosion resonated across the land, echoing on the horizon. Smoke and dust churned, as if several layers were stripped from the ground below. The terrifying shockwaves spread, causing a strong wind.
"Let’s go!"
Guan Qiang controlled the chariot, flying into the city with Ding Fan and landing in the Shen Family. Shen Xiao had returned early, bringing a group to welcome them into the hall.
Guan Qiang refused the primary seat, allowing Ding Fan to sit instead. Ding Fan did not refuse and sat in the prominent seat. The condition of the Crimson Flame was controlled, and Ding Fan, looking at Zhong Zhiyong severely injured, said, "Shen Xiao, take them down to rest and heal their injuries."
Ding Fan glanced at the two, warning them not to speak recklessly. Shen Xiao dispatched an elder to take them down to rest.
After greeting Bai Wuxin and Guan Qiang, exchanging a few polite words, knowing Ding Fan and Guan Qiang surely had matters to discuss, he excused himself to rest.
Guan Qiang sat in the first row. He waved down dozens of sixth-level experts from the Divine Realm, leaving only a few peak sixth-level experts, smiling as he introduced them to Ding Fan. Then he asked Ding Fan, "Young Master, where do you come from? Has your return been announced to the Ding Family?"
"They don’t know yet!"
Ding Fan did not intend to hide it, after all, he planned to have Guan Qiang accompany him back to the Ding Family, saving a lot of trouble and Black Obsidian.
Without any concealment, he told Guan Qiang, "I returned alone this time. I am not very familiar with the Sirius Ding Family. Don’t ask much about my master’s matters. Just take me back to the Ding Family, and I will remember your kindness."
Ding Fan didn’t intend to discuss Ding Aohuang’s matters much because Ding Aohuang once fought in the Northern Wastelands, and besides, he didn’t know much about it, as he hadn’t seen this master in person.
Most importantly, Ding Aohuang was the youngest leader among the Sirius Clan and was considered a prodigy of Central Plains for tens of thousands of years. Such a person should be treasured by the family, yet Ding Aohuang suddenly disappeared for nearly a century without the Ding Family even sending people to the Northern Wastelands to look for him?
If the Ding Family had sent people to the Northern Wastelands, they could easily have found Ding Aohuang’s whereabouts. At that time, Ding Aohuang almost killed Master Daozhen, the foremost person of the Tianmu Sea. So he wouldn’t be hard to find.
Ding Fan still had many questions in his heart, making him cautious. He wouldn’t mention anything about Sirius Elder Ding Aohuang unless he was back at the Ding Family and saw its members; only then would he reveal everything.
Guan Qiang realized Ding Fan didn’t want to discuss further, and he didn’t press him. Regardless, once Ding Fan returned to the Sirius Clan, the Ding Family would surely inquire, giving him credit for his efforts.
He nodded and said, "Alright, have a good rest. Two days later, when your men recover, I will personally escort you to Sirius City."
