Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2292: Chapter 2327: There Should Be No Problem

Ding Fan ordered Guan Qiang to keep things low-key. Guan Qiang did not explicitly reveal Ding Fan’s identity; he first found an elder and took him into the city, planning to talk once they got there.

Guan Qiang, the supervisor of the Wild Wolf Sect, a sixth-level force and a Seventh Level expert in the Divine Realm, was certainly a big figure. Yet, the face of the Sixth Level Peak leader in front of him had no expression. He coldly said, "No. I’ve already told you that this city is sealed. Not even the elders of the Silver Wolf Gang will be received. The elders have long ordered no one to enter."

Guan Qiang furrowed his brows and glanced at Ding Fan. Ding Fan nodded, and Guan Qiang once again bowed his head, speaking quietly, "Please inform the elders that I have news of the Young Master. They will surely see me."

"Young Master?"

The leader’s eyes gleamed as he asked in a concise voice, "Which clan master? Our Ding Family’s clan master?"

Guan Qiang nodded, and the leader’s face immediately changed. He said again in a succinct voice, "Are you sure you have news of the Young Master? If you’re deceiving us, neither you nor I can bear the consequences from the elders."

Guan Qiang nodded solemnly. The leader thought for a moment and said, "Wait here. I’ll notify the Seventh Elder immediately."

After speaking, the leader flew towards the city like a meteorite, while Guan Qiang returned, as Ding Fan silently waited.

As time passed, Ding Fan maintained his silence outwardly, but inside, he was extremely anxious and excited.

"Whoosh~"

Nearly half an hour later, two shadows flew over from a distance. Leading them was an old man at the Seventh Level of the Divine Realm, appearing quite spirited.

The two quickly arrived in front of the super airship. Guan Qiang flew out again; he recognized the old man in front and bowed from afar, saying, "Guan Qiang greets the Seventh Elder."

The Seventh Elder seemed to have an impression of Guan Qiang, nodded slightly, and glanced at the super airship Ding Fan and his companions were on. He first looked at Ao Sheng and Zhong Zhiyong, then turned to Ding Fan.

He quickly withdrew his gaze, then suddenly raised it again as he looked back at Ding Fan. His rigid face showed some surprise. After looking for a moment, he asked, "Who is this young man?"

Before Guan Qiang could speak, Ding Fan had already bowed and said, "This junior Ding Fan, greets the Seventh Elder!"

"Ding Fan? Your surname is also Ding?"

The face of the Eighth Elder changed again, and he spoke with an unusual voice, trembling slightly, "Do you know Ding Aohuang?"

Ding Fan calmly said, "He is precisely my master."

"Boom!"

The Seventh Elder, that Sixth Level leader, and the twelve Sixth Level martial artists were all like being struck by thunder from a clear sky, each trembling. The Seventh Elder looked at Ding Fan, sizing him up for a long time, murmuring, "You must have inherited all of his teachings since you are his disciple."

The Seventh Elder reacted very quickly, turning back to whisper to the patrolling martial artists, "Whoever leaks what just happened will have their whole clan exterminated. Understood?"

After finishing the sentence, the Seventh Elder flew up, grabbing Ding Fan with one hand and said, "Come, I’ll take you to the Elders’ Council Hall."

Looking back, the Seventh Elder glanced at Guan Qiang and the others, saying, "Take them to the Reception Hall!"

"Reception Hall?"

Guan Qiang was overjoyed in his heart. Generally, people have no chance to enter the Reception Hall, as it is reserved for important guests from prestigious families. Usually, forces below the Seventh Level have no right to enter. It seems that sending Ding Fan back to Sirius City this time is a considerable accomplishment.

The Seventh Elder took Ding Fan flying into Sirius City rapidly, so fast that Ding Fan couldn’t even see the scenery below. He could only feel the wind blowing and had to look forward. But in the city, he saw a mountain...

This mountain wasn’t very big, but in Sirius City, it was quite prominent. From a distance, the mountain was covered in castles, layered like a gigantic pagoda, with people living in each layer.

"That is where the Ding Family members have lived for generations, Sirius Mountain!"

The Seventh Elder noticed Ding Fan continuously looking at the mountain, so he explained, "There are nearly 400,000 people living there, all members of the Sirius Clan."

"Nearly 400,000 people!"

Ding Fan was a bit shocked. Ordinary cities could only house tens of thousands? And these were the Ding Family’s direct descendants. If you included collateral relatives outside, the total number of Sirius Clan members would be incredible.

The Seventh Elder flew swiftly, directly to the top of Sirius City’s mountain. The summit was even more magnificent, full of castles and buildings. In the sky stood ancient trees, and in the middle was a man-made lake. The scenery was beautiful, like a fairyland.

The Seventh Elder descended with Ding Fan into a courtyard. In front of the courtyard stood a grand castle, guarded at the entrance by two Sixth Level experts from the Divine Realm.

"Go invite the Second Elder and others over, and say I have something significant to discuss!"

The Seventh Elder sternly addressed the two Sixth Level experts of the Divine Realm, then led Ding Fan to the castle. As they entered the hall, Ding Fan glanced around and was startled again; the hall was empty but extremely spacious, capable of accommodating hundreds of people.

"Swish swish swish~"

Soon, the sound of flight breaking through the air was heard outside, and eight people walked in. Some appeared middle-aged, while others resembled the Seventh Elder, with hair and beards turned white; yet at first glance, they were all at the Seventh Level Realm of the Divine Realm.

Ding Fan looked at these eight people, noticing they stood together, seemingly without any hierarchy among them. Remembering earlier, the Eighth Elder didn’t mention bringing the family master over, Ding Fan pondered.

This meant that among these eight, his Ancestral Master was absent. He had returned, yet the Seventh Elder didn’t invite the family master over but summoned eight elders first. What did this imply?

Moreover, he recalled hearing about issues in the Ding Family, with Sirius City having been on lockdown for over ten years. Thinking of this, Ding Fan couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease in his heart.

"This is Second Elder Ding Lianhe, Third Elder Ding Jingxiu, Fourth Elder Ding Aoxian, Fifth Elder Ding Aotian, Sixth Elder Ding Tianlong; I am the Seventh Elder Ding Fuhu, Eighth Elder Ding Liancheng, Ninth Elder Ding Aoshen, and Tenth Elder Ding Benwei!"

The Seventh Elder first introduced the elders to Ding Fan. To Ding Fan’s astonishment, the Second, Third, and Fourth Elders appeared youthful, looking only in their forties or fifties, with their life force still vibrant, while the other elders seemed much older.

After the introductions, the Seventh Elder gestured towards Master Ding before saying, "This is Ding Fan. He claims to be a disciple of Ding Aohuang."

The elders’ eyes brightened instantly as Ding Fan and Ding Aohuang looked quite alike. If Ding Fan were older, with a sharper aura, a body more commanding and aggressive, he would undoubtedly be a replica of Ding Aohuang.

Three elders appeared excited, but Second Elder Ding Lianhe and Third Elder Ding Jingxiu frowned. The two exchanged glances before Second Elder Ding Lianhe asked Ding Fan first, "Ding Fan? You say you’re Aohuang’s disciple. Did he give you any token?"

At this point, two other elders frowned as well, considering Ding Fan’s cultivation level wasn’t high. If he was truly Ding Aohuang’s disciple, why was his cultivation realm so low? Furthermore, Ding Aohuang had been away for over two hundred years; why had Ding Fan returned now? The urgent matter was to prove Ding Fan’s identity. Other issues could wait.

"A token?"

Ding Fan seemed shocked. How could he possess a token from Sirius Elder Ding Aohuang? He had never even met Ding Aohuang in person. Besides, if he did have a token, how could he fear the pursuit from the Wang Family?

Of course, he was undoubtedly Ding Aohuang’s inheritance disciple, a fact he trusted he could explain. He thought a moment and said, "When I accepted the inheritance, my master’s presence had already vanished, leaving no token behind. When I did receive his package then, it was lost later."

Ding Fan’s words felt like empty talk as the other elders furrowed their brows. The Seventh Elder spoke, "Ding Fan, have you awakened the Sirius Inheritance? If you have, there’s no issue."

"Not... not yet. I haven’t awakened the Sirius Inheritance!" Ding Fan shook his head and replied. All along, what he practiced wasn’t from the Sirius Inheritance received at the Sirius Ancient Tomb; instead, his inherited divine skills originated from that mysterious beast bone. Moreover, the Sirius mark on him differed from the one passed by Ding Aohuang in the Sirius Ancient Tomb.

"This..."

The group of elders exchanged glances, some suspicious. If he were Ding Aohuang’s disciple, how could he not have awakened the Sirius Inheritance? Given that everyone in the Ding Family awakened the Sirius Inheritance, hadn’t Ding Fan, as Ding Aohuang’s disciple and heir of the Sirius Inheritance, awoken the Sirius Inheritance? That didn’t make sense.

If not for the Sirius aura emanating from Ding Fan’s body, his resemblance to Ding Aohuang, and the lack of any tampering on his face, he would have been driven away by now.

The Third Elder pondered for a moment and said, "Then how do you prove you’re Aohuang’s disciple?"

Ding Fan stared blankly. He always thought just arriving at the Ding Family would naturally prove he was Ding Aohuang’s disciple, but now he realized he had no way to prove his identity. He couldn’t possibly disrobe to show the elders his uncertain mark.

Besides, that mark had vanished, instead imprinted on his soul; the mark on his body disappeared when he obtained the Purple Gold Wolf Claw, leaving him speechless.

Seeing Ding Fan silent, the Third Elder continued, "Otherwise, do you have anything from your master? Anything your master left you will do; as long as it belongs to him, or perhaps any secret from the Ding Family he might have shared will work?"

"Something?"

Ding Aohuang only left him with the mark, now imprinted on his soul. He couldn’t show it even if he wanted to. As for the Ding Family secret, Ding Fan had only seen the divine sense of Sirius Elder Ding Aohuang, having never spoken with him directly. What secret could he share with these elders?

Seeing Ding Fan unable to say anything, the elders’ expressions turned cold. If Ding Fan couldn’t produce proof, they could only interrogate him as an impostor.

"Yes!"

Ding Fan remembered something and said, "I have a part of the Sirius Mantra, only the first section. Master said the second section would reveal itself in due time."

"Sirius Mantra?"

The Seventh Elder and several elders exhaled, relieved. The Seventh Elder said, "Recite it for us."

Ding Fan thought for a moment and began reciting. The first section of the Sirius Mantra contained only dozens of words, which he had memorized long ago, as it was the foundation of his cultivation, allowing for an easy recitation.

"Alright, this is the Sirius Mantra!"

The Seventh Elder seemed reassured. The Sirius Mantra was a secret art unique to the Sirius Clan, an exclusive cultivation technique of the Ding Family. Since Ding Fan could recite it, his identity should be genuine.
