Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2316: Chapter 2351: Leveling Sirius Mountain

"Sister Ding Ling!"

Ding Lin pondered for a moment, furrowing his brow, and asked, "Why wait five days to exile Ding Fan? Aren’t they afraid things might change in between?"

"What could happen?"

Ding Ling laughed and said, "The Great Elder didn’t come out during the Elders’ Council Hall meeting, so naturally, he won’t bother with it anymore. The Elders’ Council Hall meeting is the family’s highest decision, even the head of the family has to comply. It’s said that the acting family head is in the Yunxiao Palace and could come back within just a few hours, but he’s not returning now, which clearly shows he’s letting Ding Lianhe make a move, and he’s taking the opportunity to distance himself? If the family head wakes up later, he still has room to maneuver."

"Will the family head wake up again?"

Ding Lin’s face turned increasingly grim, shaking his head as he said, "I’m afraid the family head will never wake up again. They’re bold enough to deal with Ding Fan and Aunt Ao Shuang, they must have ensured this point, and the Ding Family is finally starting to change its dynasty."

"Ah..."

Ding Lin said, suddenly feeling a stir in his heart, a gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he exclaimed, "Sister Ding Ling, you say they’re purposely waiting five days to exile Ding Fan, are they trying to lure Uncle Ding Aohuang out?"

"That’s possible!"

A gleam appeared on Ding Ling’s face, Ding Lianhe had judged Ding Fan guilty within an hour, which shows he’s eager to kill Ao Shuang and Ding Fan. But now, delaying their exile might mean Ding Lianhe is using Ding Fan as bait, trying to catch Ding Aohuang.

Not only Ding Lianhe but also the Seventh Elder Ding Ling and Ding Lin suspected that Ding Aohuang hadn’t disappeared, but quietly followed Ding Fan back.

How could the Ding Family’s once-in-a-millennium talent just die? It’s even more impossible for him to disappear! How could he ignore the only disciple he took?

The biggest possibility is that he let Ding Fan return first, stirring up trouble at Sirius Mountain, while he hides behind the scenes observing the situation.

If Ding Aohuang returns, he can’t possibly watch Ding Fan and Ao Shuang be exiled to Ferocious Ghost Island and die. If he can’t hold back and makes a move when Ding Fan and Ao Shuang are being exiled, then the family’s experts or Ding Zhanjiao might personally take action to capture him, and charge him with the crime of rebellion against family rules, ensuring Ding Zhanpeng’s branch can’t rise again.

Thinking of this, Ding Ling and Ding Lin felt a cold qi rising from their backs, this malicious plan reminded them of someone.

Ding Ling and Ding Lin exchanged glances and whispered, "Could it be his plan?"

Ding Zhi pondered for a while and said, "I’m afraid it is. Look at what Ding Aoxue suffered at the Sui Family; this situation seems like a conspiracy but is essentially a transparent scheme. We can guess, the Great Elder can see through this matter, but there’s no way to break this situation. This plan is very similar to his past methods."

"Killing three birds with one stone."

Ding Lin’s face showed a hint of admiration and fear, sighing, "Outsiders think Ding Yuan is a talent of exceptional aptitude, but actually, his most terrifying aspect is his strategy and means. With such a person, I don’t know if it’s good or bad for the family."

"Indeed, he’s only 21!"

Ding Ling’s face also showed some surprise, commenting emotionally, "A simple plan allows his father to take power effortlessly, easily gathering the Sirius Clan’s disciples under his command, and with some means, subjugating so many external hall elders. Elder Jin keeps praising him. If he weren’t a bit lacking in talent, unable to break through the Divine Realm’s Seventh Level, he’d probably be the Young Family Head by now?"

"Oh, thinking about this matter!"

Ding Lin felt somewhat restless, he stood up and said, "I’m going to see Ding Fan and inform him of the family’s decision so he can be prepared."

"I’m going too!"

Ding Ling stood up, and the two walked out. The sky outside was already bright, the sun high in the sky, but there weren’t many pedestrians at Sirius Mountain because an event of this magnitude had occurred.

They reached the castle where the prison was located, walked down the stone steps to the dungeon, and requested to see Ding Fan. A steward in charge here didn’t dare make decisions on their behalf, so he went to ask the Divine Realm’s Seventh Level Elder stationed here.

The Elder said nothing and let them in; their identities were quite special, and with a Divine Realm’s Seventh Level Elder guarding here, it was no big deal.

They arrived outside Ding Fan’s cell, peering through the gap in the iron door, seeing Ding Fan sitting by the bed while Ao Shuang slept on his shoulder.

"Shh..."

Ding Fan saw them come in. He gestured silently, raising a hand to indicate silence, his complexion was calm, appearing quite serene.

"Ah..."

The two saw tears on Ao Shuang’s face, furrowed their brows, their faces turned pale, and couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh. Ding Ling whispered, "Ding Fan, have you heard from the Elders’ Hall?"

Ding Fan nodded, speaking softly, "I received the notification last night."

Seeing Ding Fan looking so relaxed, they both felt somewhat depressed. Ding Lin said, "Ding Fan, do you know what kind of place Ferocious Ghost Island is?"

"I’ve heard a bit about it."

Ding Fan nodded slightly, then smiled indifferently and said, "Isn’t it just an absolute dead land? Once, I went into Evil Spirit Mountain, and when I came out, I wasn’t hurt at all. My fate, Ding Fan, is hard as iron, not so easy to die. You two can rest assured, I will come out sooner or later. Also... I don’t want to return to the Ding Family anymore; it’s too heartbreaking here. I don’t want to stay here any longer."

Since Ding Fan recognized Ding Aohuang as his master, after finding out about the Sirius Clan, Ding Fan has been eager to come back and see. He has always lacked familial affection, and he thought he might find a sense of home in the Sirius Ding Family, it wasn’t certain. Later, he learned that Ding Aohuang wasn’t dead but was at Frostbite Cliff, and he wanted to use the Ding Family’s power to rescue both Ding Aohuang and Xia Mengqing.

From the Sirius Ancient Tomb to the Wu Family Fortress at Great Python Mountain, then to Tianmu Sea, later reaching the Central Plains, entering Evil Spirit Mountain, and finally leaving Luoshen Mountain, he almost died at the hands of the Wang Family.

Ding Fan’s journey to Sirius City can be said to be fraught with countless dangers, several times nearly dying on the road.

However...

The Ding Family was completely different from the family he imagined. The Ding Family members and the image he had in his mind differed greatly; they were all of the Sirius Clan. Everyone should have been the closest people, yet unexpectedly, the earthly drama repeated here.

The attitude of these people toward him deeply saddened him. This matter completely hurt his heart, and it wasn’t about plotting; he was genuinely angry that the Ding Family used such a malicious plan to harm his master aunt, dealing with a severely injured woman, and that woman was even their Ding Family blood.

This Ding Family wasn’t what he wanted, and now the taste of Sirius Mountain made him very uncomfortable. Living here, he didn’t feel at home. Instead, he had to be constantly cautious, wary of being schemed upon, unknowing dying in his bed. Reaching this point, he suddenly started missing the Northern Wastelands.

When he was in the Northern Wastelands, he was one of the most powerful figures there; the Northern Wastelands felt free to him, but Sirius City was more like a cage, akin to a prison.

Hence, in his mind, exile was better than staying here for a lifetime. Of course, Ding Fan wouldn’t acknowledge this outright; if he ever had the chance, he would certainly find a way to escape.

He didn’t know where Xia Mengqing went, and concerning Ding Aohuang’s affair, he dared not ask anyone for help. Living in the Ding Family had become pointless; instead, residing there felt like blockages in his heart, he genuinely felt annoyed.

Ding Lin and Ding Ling originally intended to comfort Ding Fan a bit, but they couldn’t utter anything. They looked at him, and after a while, shook their heads, and walked away.

Upon leaving, Ding Ling suddenly glanced back at Ding Fan, observing his slightly naive and stubborn face, those eyes that were akin to stars. An inexplicable thought arose in her heart—perhaps treating Ding Fan this way was the greatest mistake the Ding Family ever made...

...

Later on, Sirius Mountain was very quiet, and Sirius City also gradually quieted down.

The elders in the Elders’ Council Hall were satisfied; Seventh Elder, Sixth Elder, and Fifth Elder wanted to do something. But at this stage, there was really nothing they could do.

The Seventh Elder sought an audience with the Great Elder once, but the Great Elder did not see him. Seventh Elder also understood; though the Great Elder was of the entire Ding Family, and his heart favored Ding Fan, he could only silently watch the development at this moment.

Once he did anything, the already unstable Ding Family would become even more unstable.

Time flew by fast; five days passed in the blink of an eye!

Everything Ding Ling and Ding Lin speculated did not happen; Ding Aohuang didn’t appear, and Ding Zhanpeng didn’t wake up, it seemed as though there was no room left for maneuver.

On the fifth day, Ding Fan and the four others were escorted out and directly taken onto the super airship, along with Tenth Elder Ding Benwei and a Divine Realm Seventh Level elder accompanying the escort of Ding Fan and others to Ferocious Ghost Island, accompanied by ten Divine Realm Sixth Level experts.

Ding Aoshuang’s face had calmed down; she said nothing, a slight mockery at the corners of her mouth. Second Elder and others didn’t show up; only Seventh Elder, Sixth Elder, Fifth Elder, Ding Lin, and Ding Ling bid farewell.

Of course, there were other Ding Family disciples, but they didn’t appear at the escort scene, merely stood quietly in alleys and courtyards, watching the super airship from afar.

The Immortal Binding Chain still shackled Ding Fan; he stood on the deck, looking at the countless castle buildings atop Sirius Mountain and the unending architecture below in Sirius City. He laughed loudly and said, "Haha, Ancestral Master, your disciple is not filial; I couldn’t see you when I returned. If your disciple survives this, he will surely flatten Sirius Mountain, kneel and apologize."

Seventh Elder, Sixth Elder, and Fifth Elder remained silent. They wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say. After all, they couldn’t help with anything, so speaking now felt a bit unrealistic.

"Get moving!"

Ding Benwei’s face darkened, fearing Ding Fan might say something unpleasant. He instructed someone to control the super airship to fly out of the city, and simultaneously had a Divine Realm Sixth Level expert suppress Ding Fan, in case he continued to talk recklessly, he might have Ding Fan’s mouth sealed.

Crimson Flame still appeared as usual; his life was granted by Ding Aohuang, even if he died, he had no resentment. Zhong Zhiyong felt uncontent and hurried inwardly; he was merely Ding Fan’s slave, now doomed to accompany Ding Fan to his death. But what could he do? What could he say? At this moment, if he dared speak nonsense, he might be directly killed.

The super airship sped away quickly, disappearing in the southern sky in the blink of an eye, Seventh Elder, Sixth Elder, and Fifth Elder’s eyes gradually dimmed, expressions of remorse appearing on their faces.

If Ding Zhanpeng one day awakens, none knew how they would explain to him.

...

The sun blazed like fire, Sirius City gradually disappeared, yet Ding Fan’s mood inexplicably improved, as if he finally broke free from the prison, entering a vast world.
