Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2318: Chapter 2353: Northern Wastelands

Ding Fan gazed at the Great Elder’s expectant look, did not refuse, and directly accepted the ring, kneeling on one knee and bowing in tribute.

"Alright, go ahead, the sky is high for the birds to fly, the sea wide for the fish to leap, the wolves roam the world and eat meat, a true man achieves regardless of adversity!"

The Great Elder waved his hand, took one last deep look at Ding Fan, and disappeared into the cabin. Ding Aoshuang knelt on one knee; they did not speak further, but for the first time, they felt the warmth of coming to the Ding Family.

The Super Airship continued to cut through the night sky, like a ferocious beast, its speed incredibly fast, disappearing into the distant sky within seconds.

In mid-air, the elder’s body appeared glowing, watching Ding Fan and the others depart, only to sigh long after, saying, "Zhan Peng, your son’s talent is astonishing, and your grand-disciple has inherited his fierceness. All I can do is help this far; whether he becomes a Nine Heavens Flying Dragon or a hopeless case depends on his own fortune..."

Ding Benwei and the others slept for eight or nine hours, but the Great Elder, an Eighth Level Expert of the Divine Realm, though not killing them, used soul attack to forcibly knock them unconscious.

If the Great Elder hadn’t held back, they likely wouldn’t have awakened for days and nights.

Elder Jin woke first, blinking his eyes a few times, did not shout loudly, but instead awoke the others.

"What happened? Where is everyone?"

Ding Benwei awoke, his face changed dramatically, looking at Elder Jin, gleaning some information from Elder Jin’s eyes.

"You all spread out and search ten miles, be thorough!"

Ding Benwei did not act recklessly, instead, waved for ten Sixth Level Divine Realm experts to spread out and search, then asked, "Was it the Great Uncle?"

Elder Jin did not respond directly but said, "I can’t think of anyone else."

"It seems it was him then..."

Ding Benwei sighed lightly, "Among Eighth Level Divine Realm experts who can knock us out instantly, only four are in the Central Plains, the two southern ones certainly wouldn’t come, Spirit Dragon Hall has one person, but we’ve always been good friends with Spirit Dragon Hall, wouldn’t offend us over Ding Fan, so it must be the Great Uncle, and... if it’s not the Great Uncle, we’d be dead by now."

Another Seventh Level Elder nodded and said, "Elder Ten, what should we do now?"

Ding Benwei pondered for a moment, took out a golden token, with mysterious writing shimmering on it; it was a special talisman, each worth billions of Black Obsidian, the only talisman capable of long-distance message transmission.

After sending the message, he waited silently, twenty minutes later, the golden talisman lit up. Ding Benwei glanced at it, saying, "Let’s go back, the family head knows what’s happened here, he’s returned to Sirius Mountain, as long as the Great Elder isn’t here, it must be him."

"Alright!"

Even if they caught up with the Great Elder, it would be useless, as he is an Eighth Level cultivator. If they caught up, what could they do? The Great Elder is determined to save Ding Fan; even Ding Zhanjiao couldn’t stop him.

Ding Benwei took out another Super Airship, flying towards Sirius City, on the way, Ding Benwei issued a death order to the ten Sixth Level Divine Realm experts, this matter must not be revealed, anyone who leaks it will be killed.

After half a day of flight, the talisman Ding Benwei held lit up again. He glanced at it, sighed lightly, saying, "It really is the Great Uncle, the family head has met him, he’s now at Immortal Shadow Mountain, they secretly talked for a while, saying this matter should stop, but from today... Ding Fan and Ding Aoshuang will disappear from the family genealogy, they will no longer be members of the Sirius Clan."

Elder Jin and another elder nodded, not daring to say more, after all, Ding Zhanjiao and the Great Elder had already talked, saying too much was meaningless.

"Immortal Shadow Mountain?"

Elder Jin’s eyes flashed with complex emotions, Immortal Shadow Mountain lies a hundred miles west of Sirius City, the Great Elder going to Immortal Shadow Mountain meant he wouldn’t interfere with Sirius City and the Sirius Clan’s internal affairs anymore, but he didn’t go far, indicating he would step in if the Ding Family faces trouble.

Ding Zhanjiao had Ding Benwei and others wait outside for two or three days before returning to Sirius City, proclaiming Ding Fan and Ding Aoshuang had been sent to Ferocious Ghost Island, to stabilize Sirius City’s morale, otherwise, the confrontation between the Great Elder and the family head could cause instability in lower and middle-class family members.

Ding Zhanjiao and the Great Elder agreed that Ding Zhanjiao would not send experts to hunt Ding Fan and others, and they declared they were sent to Ferocious Ghost Island.

In Sirius City, countless people sighed, feeling sorry for Ding Fan, after all, he was Ding Aohuang’s disciple, of extraordinary talent, even just Fourth Level Divine Realm could counter-kill Seventh Level Divine Realm experts, if guided by the family for a few more years, wouldn’t he be another Ding Zhanpeng?

Ding Aohuang ultimately did not appear, Ding Fan and Ding Aoshuang were thus sent to Ferocious Ghost Island, all members of the Sirius Clan had to accept this fact, the heavens of the Sirius Clan had changed, Ding Zhanpeng’s lineage became the past.

Ten years!

The disappearance of a family head for ten years is not a good sign; even with secluded cultivation, they would appear once or twice. Combined with various closure rumors of the Ding Family, in fact, many had long guessed Ding Zhanpeng had encountered trouble.

...

Ding Fan and the others had flown tens of thousands of miles, but it would take a long time before they flew out of the Eastern Central Plains.

In fact, Sirius City is not far from the coast, so a sixth-level Divine Realm expert could fly there in four or five days, and this Super Airship is specially designed, its speed is twice that of a sixth-level Divine Realm expert, it should reach the sea in two days.

Along the way, Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame were extremely worried, he activated the prohibition on the Super Airship, making them invisible to outsiders, while they also avoided big and small cities, choosing to fly over barren mountains.

Ding Fan was not worried at all; the Great Elder had already helped, he certainly wouldn’t let go now, saying he will help clear the obstacles, so surely they would sail smoothly.

Of course, going out to sea doesn’t necessarily mean safety; Ding Zhanjiao sending people to hunt him down is quite normal. Ding Fan isn’t thinking about what will happen after going to sea; he’s been pondering a question.

Where should they go?

He can’t rely on the Ding Family now; he can only depend on himself. He must cultivate with his own ability and find a way to rescue Xia Mengqing and Ding Aohuang.

Cultivation requires endless resources. Without power, he can’t rescue the two. With his current strength, even if he finds Xia Mengqing, he can’t handle the expert who kidnapped her.

The Silver Condor Goddess is a Sixth Level of the Divine Realm expert herself; her combat power is strong. Yet Xia Mengqing was taken from her, and it was by an expert who understood the Seventh-Level Heaven Earth True Insight. That expert’s level must be at least a Seventh Level Realm in the Divine Realm.

Ding Fan’s first thought was to seek refuge in a powerful family, become an auxiliary member with the help of their strong power, and then cultivate with this family’s resources.

But what kind of size family can be considered a major family?

Ding Fan completely disregards those Sixth-level Forces; he doesn’t know any Level Seven Forces. His heart still considers the Twelve Royal Clans as his first choice.

In his mind appeared a beautiful and charming girl, Ling Wanru!

He has been very kind to Ling Wanru. If he goes to the Spirit Dragon Hall, Ling Wanru should help him. But if Spirit Dragon Hall knows his identity later, will they still accept him?

The Sirius Clan and the Spirit Dragon Hall are both Royal Families of the Central Plains. It’s like if a disciple from the Spirit Dragon Hall, would the Ding Family dare to take him as an outer hall disciple? Wouldn’t that clearly be a provocation to the Spirit Dragon Hall?

"Forget it!"

After careful consideration, Ding Fan gave up on the idea of going to the Spirit Dragon Hall. The main reason was that he didn’t want to live under others’ roofs. His nature is wild; there are too many people and rules in a big family, and if he goes, something major might happen.

If he can’t depend on big powers, then he can only develop his own power. Without territory, he has to seize it.

Without his own place, there are no resources. Without resources, how will they cultivate? How to gather strong allies? Without strong allies’ help, how can Ding Fan even inquire about Xia Mengqing’s whereabouts?

"We’ll return to the Northern Wastelands!"

Ding Fan quickly made up his mind. The Northern Wastelands are essentially his territory, and there are two families from the former Twelve Royal Clans of the Central Plains, the Ye Family and the Meng Family, who are his loyal subordinates. As long as he returns to the Northern Wastelands, he can unify it and establish a new empire at any time.

The resources of the Northern Wastelands cannot be compared to those of the Central Plains, but once he unifies the Northern Wastelands, he can obtain many resources that could be sold in the Central Plains to exchange for large quantities of Black Obsidian, which he can then use to purchase scarce Spiritual Materials.

But...

There is a problem with returning to the Northern Wastelands!

The Ding Family already knows he’s from the Northern Wastelands. Will they send people there to kill him? The Ding Family only needs to send a Divine Realm Seventh Level expert, and that would be an invincible presence in the Northern Wastelands.

Ding Fan fell into deep thought. He spent an entire day on the Super Airship pondering, finally deciding to take a gamble.

He gambled that the Great Elder would protect him. He clearly remembered that when he parted with the Great Elder, the Great Elder said that when he achieved success in the future, he was not allowed to target the Ding Family disciples.

Because the Great Elder protected the Ding Family’s disciples so well, and being Ding Zhanpeng’s master, the Great Elder would surely protect him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to save him. Maybe he could negotiate with Ding Zhanjiao, which could stop Ding Zhanjiao from pursuing him.

They had been flying for more than a day, with no pursuers, proving that the Great Elder had already done much for them.

"No need to think anymore; let’s just go back to the Northern Wastelands!"

Ding Fan shook his head, dispelling the distractions in his mind, and made up his mind; as long as he could return to the Northern Wastelands, it would be his territory where he would be in charge.

He stood up, found Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame, and shared his thoughts.

Crimson Flame didn’t mind; he had already decided to follow Ding Fan wherever he went. In his heart, he had long regarded Ding Aohuang as his master, and since Ding Aohuang wasn’t around, he accepted his disciple.

Zhong Zhiyong was about to cry. He originally thought arriving at the Ding Family would bring him great benefits, and that Ding Fan would give him freedom, allowing him to return to the Northern Wastelands as a sovereign. But, unexpectedly, there weren’t many benefits, and Ding Fan, this demonic head, still intended to return to the Northern Wastelands, even planning to unify it.

But what could he say?

Ding Fan noticed Zhong Zhiyong’s expression and couldn’t help but smile, then his Space Ring glowed, producing a Soul Guiding Talisman. The True Yuan Power in his hand shone brightly, and in an instant, he destroyed the Soul Guiding Talisman, killing the soul guide in Zhong Zhiyong’s Soul Space.

When the soul guide was killed, Zhong Zhiyong was no longer a slave, but a free man.

"Ah? This... young master, what are you doing?"

Zhong Zhiyong looked extremely surprised, while Crimson Flame’s eyes were lit with a glow, like facing a formidable enemy. Zhong Zhiyong was a Sixth Level Intermediate Expert in the Divine Realm, and Crimson Flame was merely a Sixth Level Elementary Stage. If Zhong Zhiyong turned on Ding Fan now, Crimson Flame wouldn’t be able to suppress him.
