Chapter 2313: Chapter 2348: Believe in Us
However, this situation immediately disappeared. Ding Fan had long known that Crimson Flame was going to act, and he wasn’t panicked at all. He cooperated well with Crimson Flame and, taking advantage of the fact that Crimson Flame’s Heaven and Earth’s Momentum had weakened, he immediately swung the Wolf Claw towards Elder Sui.
"Bang!"
Elder Sui’s other hand was also severed. He was pressed by Crimson Flame’s Heaven and Earth’s Momentum and couldn’t react at all; his fine head was crushed by Ding Fan.
A headless corpse fell down heavily into the rock garden below. The rock garden, suppressed by Crimson Flame for a while, suddenly collapsed at this moment, and Elder Sui’s headless corpse struck it, raising a cloud of dust.
The entire scene fell silent, as Elder Sui’s family and the guards outside were dumbfounded with fear. Ding Fan had actually killed an outer courtyard elder, and today, this whole affair had escalated tremendously.
At this moment, Ding was completely expressionless. To him, killing an elder of the outer hall was no different from killing an ordinary Sixth Level expert of the Divine Realm. He had given Elder Sui a chance, but Elder Sui didn’t cherish it. In the previous situation, if he hadn’t killed Elder Sui, then it would be him who was dead now.
"Dad!"
The three sons of the Sui family immediately cried out, rushing down to pounce on Elder Sui’s body, howling. Suddenly, one of them remembered something, took out a flare from the Space Ring, and threw it into the sky.
"Boom!"
The flare exploded in mid-air, illuminating half of Sirius City. Tonight, the moonlight was dim, and the stars were few, so this flare appeared particularly dazzling.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
People from all directions rushed over, all were martial artists above the Sixth Level of the Divine Realm. From the south, there were several strong auras, which turned out to be experts of the Seventh Level Realm of the Divine Realm.
Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame exchanged a glance and moved with Ding Aoshuang towards Ding Fan. The situation had become too big today, and the two were worried that the four of them might not make it out of here alive.
Ding Fan also felt this way. When he saw that no elders were flying in from the direction of Sirius Mountain, his heart sank completely.
Today’s incident was definitely a conspiracy. The Seventh Elder, Fifth Elder, and Sixth Elder must have all been diverted. Otherwise, with the situation as it stood now, it’s impossible for them to not have responded.
Even...
At this moment, he even suspected that Elder Sui intentionally came to die, to make him and Ding Aoshuang commit a serious crime, and that too, in front of countless people in the city.
The Ding Family is the master of Sirius City, but once a member of the Ding Family commits a serious crime, the Ding Family cannot avoid delivering severe punishment. Otherwise, how can they maintain the people’s faith in Sirius City? How can they quell the outrage of the outer hall elders?
The situation had already reached this point, and regret was useless. Ding Fan could only stand in the cold wind, waiting for the subsequent developments.
"Whoosh~"
A dozen experts flew over, with countless more flying in from afar. Thousands of guards gathered below, and the nearby streets were also blocked off.
"What happened here?"
A loud sound came from the south, and a golden-haired old man suddenly appeared, arriving at the scene swiftly. This person’s aura was so imposing that it left people feeling very oppressed. Needless to say, he was another Seventh Level expert of the Divine Realm.
Several elders who had previously arrived near here, one of them glanced into the courtyard and said, "Reporting to Elder Jin, Young Master Fan killed Elder Sui!"
"Elder Jin, you must uphold justice for our Sui family."
The three sons of the Sui family flew up, kneeling on the Flying Divine Sword, and kowtowed to Elder Jin. One of them cried, "First, Miss Ao Shuang killed our family’s servant, and then Young Master Fan came and killed my father. If Elder Jin cannot uphold justice for us, today our entire Sui family will commit suicide at the foot of Sirius Mountain."
This Elder Jin was responsible for the security of Sirius City. How important is Sirius City? From this, one can imagine that this Elder Jin’s status in the outer hall was also very high.
All the families are divided into inner and outer halls and guest elders. The inner hall members are the clan’s own offspring, while the outer hall consists of experts who come to affiliate with the clan. Their power is not to be underestimated. This Elder Jin was at the Seventh Level of the Divine Realm, and his presence felt even stronger than Ding Bianhe and others. It was only natural for the Sui family to plead for him to host justice upon seeing him.
Elder Jin, whose aura was as mighty as a dragon or elephant, looked at Ding Fan and said, "Young Master Ding Fan, is what they say true?"
Ding Fan stared coldly at Elder Jin, not answering his question, but instead sneered and said, "Elder Jin, are you the one responsible for the defense of Sirius City? I’d like to ask you... Why didn’t you come earlier? You showed up right after I killed Elder Sui? It seems you played a part in this incident too, didn’t you?"
How powerful is the Divine Sense of a Seventh Level of the Divine Realm? Everything in this city is under his watch, not to mention there are as many as ten or more Seventh Level experts in the outer hall. Did none of these Seventh Level experts notice Ding Aoshuang slaughtering in the Sui family?
Elder Jin didn’t answer Ding Fan’s words either, but instead said angrily, "Fine, since Young Master Fan has already admitted to killing Elder Sui, there’s nothing more to say. Men, arrest them and take them into custody, wait for the family head to return and make the judgment."
"Patriarch?"
Ding Fan’s mocking expression became even more intense. Looking at it this time, it seemed that not only the outer hall elders were involved, but it was indeed Ding Zhanjiao who was truly in charge.
At this moment, Ding Fan suddenly had a realization. The reason for the recent silence, seemingly devoid of any events, was entirely for the sake of today’s situation.
Under Elder Jin’s orders, several Sixth Level Experts from the Divine Realm surrounded Ding Fan and the others.
Seeing these people encircle them, Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong both looked towards Ding Fan. Ding Fan was very calm at this moment, while Ding Aoshuang knew she had made a grave mistake today. Suddenly, she pushed away Zhong Zhiyong beside her and said, "This matter started because of me, I, Ding Aoshuang, am willing to take all responsibility. This has nothing to do with Ding Fan."
"Master Aunt, this is not something you can take on!"
Ding Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He turned his eyes to Elder Jin and said, "Elder Jin, don’t rush to apprehend us. I think it’s better to wait for the other elders to arrive and discuss. Aren’t you afraid of us escaping given our strength? My Ancestral Master is still alive!"
His last words made Elder Jin squint his eyes. By now, there were already three Seventh Level Experts from the Divine Realm present in the field, other Third Level Experts were arriving. With the power of Ding Fan and others, it was impossible to stir any trouble, so Elder Jin didn’t order his men to act.
Someone had already gone to Sirius Mountain to report, but it took about half an hour before they saw a dozen figures flying over from Sirius Mountain.
When Ding Fan and the others looked into the distance, they saw Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder, and Second Elder had arrived, along with the younger generation Ding Yuan, Ding Yu, Ding Lin, and Ding Ling. Ding Fan’s smirk grew more pronounced.
"Master Aunt, from now on, you don’t need to speak. I will handle it. You must trust me!"
Ding Fan looked at Ding Aoshuang’s face. She seemed panicked and even a little at a loss. Ding Fan patted her shoulder and whispered. Ding Aoshuang had clearly lost control today; things would worsen if she spoke.
Ding Aoshuang looked at Ding Fan’s calm face, and somehow felt at ease. She nodded, her hand tightly gripping Ding Fan’s arm. The two were surrounded by Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong, with Ding Fan in front, wearing a mocking expression.
"Whoosh~"
The Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder, and others flew over from the air. Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder, and Seventh Elder saw numerous corpses below and over twenty elders and stewards standing in mid-air, with the streets crowded around them. Their faces turned particularly unsightly.
Seventh Elder glanced furiously at Ding Fan, glaring at him angrily, said, "Ding Fan, are you causing trouble again? You’re not a child anymore, are you really trying to annoy your Ancestral Master to death?"
Seventh Elder’s words were cleverly spoken. First, he mentioned Ding Fan’s youth. Second, he mentioned Ding Fan’s Ancestral Master, clearly intending to minimize the situation.
Ding Fan slightly smiled, glanced at the gloomy Ding Lianhe and others, and opened his mouth to say, "Where were the elders earlier? A major incident occurred in the city? You were all late? If it was an enemy infiltrating, perhaps thousands of people would be dead now. The Ding Family has always been world-renowned, held in esteem, yet its response capability truly worries people! Or... did you already know I would kill, so everyone waited until I finished the killing before coming out?"
Ding Fan’s words prompted deep reflection among many, but Ding Lianhe and other elders did not speak. Instead, Ding Yuan sneered, "Ding Fan, you killed people and yet dare to be so arrogant, mentioning the Ding Family repeatedly. I think you’re not one of us? Killing so openly, you’re the spy infiltrating the Ding Family."
"Wow~"
Ding Yuan and Ding Yu are the most renowned brothers in the Ding Family now. In Sirius City, who doesn’t know them? According to what he said, Ding Fan wasn’t Ding Aohuang’s disciple but a spy sent by an outside clan?
Ding Fan’s eyes squinted slightly. He stared at Ding Yuan and said, "If I’m a spy, shouldn’t you be my best target? What’s the point of killing an outer hall elder? Killing you and Ding Yu would be meaningful, wouldn’t it?"
"Damn it!"
Ding Lianhe became furious, coldly said, "What are you all standing there for? Ding Fan and Ding Aoshuang are wantonly killing people in the city, though they are Ding Family members, a prince or a commoner, the crime is the same. This matter cannot be forgiven. Come, arrest them, and all elders gather in the Elders’ Hall to hold a Council of Elders and judge the crimes committed by Ding Fan and Ding Aoshuang."
"Wait!"
Ding Fan calmly opened his mouth and said, "If you want us judged, we can accept that, we can even plead guilty, but if assessed by you, I won’t accept. It’s better to bring out the Great Elder. I will face any charges. If it’s you judging, I fear being killed to silence me, and when my Ancestral Master emerges, you won’t be able to explain to him."
"Grab them!"
Ding Lianhe did not heed what Ding Fan was saying, roared in anger, and a group of Sixth Level Experts flew over. Seventh Elder saw the killing intent in Ding Fan’s eyes, the green glow on his Beast Claw, seemingly intending to resist, and clenched his teeth, saying, "Ding Fan, don’t resist, or no one can save you."
Fifth Elder nodded and said, "Ding Fan, you must trust us, trust the family!"
Ding Lin and Ding Ling also looked at Ding Fan, both shaking their heads continuously, silently telling him not to meddle further.
Ding Aoshuang suddenly grabbed Ding Fan’s hand. Ding Fan turned to look, and Ding Aoshuang, teary-eyed, slightly shook her head. Today’s matter was too grave; if Ding Fan continued killing, he would be executed on the spot.
Ding Fan sighed gently and began pondering. Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder would eventually notify the Great Elder. If they caused more fuss at this moment, the ones who suffer would only be them. After all, Ding Aoshuang killed so many, and he openly killed an outer hall elder.
