Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2329: Chapter 2364: Full Support

After a while, the palace gates opened, and Ding Fan, accompanied by Crimson Flame, Ye Li, and Zhong Zhiyong, strode out. Madam Yan and Herr Qianjun looked at each other and smiled slightly; it had been so long since they last met, yet Ding Fan was still the same Ding Fan, loyal and righteous.

"Miss Rufeng, Lord Qianjun, Madam Yan, are you all well!"

Ding Fan walked over with a smile, but did not salute them. His act of coming out to greet the Herr Family was already a gesture of respect, and it no longer meant he needed to be as deferential as before. The status of both parties had changed; Ding Fan was clearly aiming to become the Great Emperor of the Northern Wastelands, so how could he still bow to others?

Madam Yan and Herr Qianjun smiled bitterly in their hearts, then bowed and greeted Ding Fan, saying, "We pay our respects to Young Master Ding."

A group of elders from the Herr Family also bowed to Ding Fan, but Herr Rufeng stared coldly at Ding Fan. Her lips pouted, and after a while, she bit her lip and said, "Ding Fan, you’ve changed..."

"I haven’t changed!"

Ding Fan smiled as he stared directly at Herr Rufeng and said, "You will understand in the future. If your sister were here today, she would comprehend it. Come, everyone, let us enter the palace."

Herr Rufeng wanted to say more, but Ding Fan had already led the group inside. Herr Rufeng’s eyes reddened, and she stomped her feet, contemplating turning away.

Madam Yan hastily grasped Herr Rufeng’s hand, whispering, "Ding Fan truly hasn’t changed, but... his status is now different. Rufeng, you are young and may not comprehend the reasons; a person must act according to their position. If Ding Fan behaves as before, he will not merit the Herr Family’s allegiance. Come along."

Herr Rufeng didn’t quite understand, her face filled with sorrow as she followed Madam Yan into the palace, feeling very aggrieved. Herr Qianjun squinted his eyes, observing Ding Fan, whose momentum surged forward. Though having only reached the Fourth Level of the Divine Realm, he still felt stifled, exhaling a faint sigh, "Once just a fledgling, now on the verge of unifying the Northern Wastelands, maturing so swiftly — truly miraculous."

Upon entering the palace hall, Ding Fan sat upon a high throne, radiating extraordinary aura. Though young, he exuded the presence of a ruler.

Saying nothing, Ding Fan lowered his head, glancing at Madam Yan and Herr Qianjun. Madam Yan, without hesitation, approached, leading the group as they knelt, proclaiming, "Yan Ji leads all elders of the Herr Family to pledge allegiance, hoping to follow Young Master Ding and aid him in conquering the Northern Wastelands, achieving an unrivaled reign!"

Herr Rufeng didn’t wish to kneel, yet an elder pressed her down. Her eyes turned red, tears welled in her eyes as she looked up at the high-seated Ding Fan.

Ding Fan remained silent and unsociable, his expression particularly cold, causing Herr Rufeng’s heart to tremble. At this moment, Ding Fan was no longer the youth in her eyes, but an eminent Great Emperor, a ruler overseeing life and death in the Northern Wastelands.

Herr Rufeng suddenly comprehended that Ding Fan indeed hadn’t changed, but his position had. His status compelled him to undertake actions he preferred not to; otherwise, how could he command his allies, how could he possess the awe-inspiring dignity of a king?

Ding Fan unexpectedly stood up, solemnly raising his hand, declaring, "I, Ding Fan, accept the Herr Family’s allegiance, and hereby swear: as long as I live, I shall never disappoint the Herr Family!"

Madam Yan and Herr Qianjun raised their heads in astonishment; Ding Fan unexpectedly swore an oath publicly. He need not have said anything, even if he felt a need, it shouldn’t have been in public. After he uttered these words, the Herr Family was destined for eminence due to this vow.

"Ding Fan truly is still the same Ding Fan!"

Madam Yan’s face filled with excitement, though she said nothing further, bowing deeply again. Herr Qianjun’s gaze also grew firm.

He had attempted to reach the Sixth Level of the Divine Realm but failed, leaving the Herr Family in dire straits, making revival extremely difficult. However, circumstances had changed; now the Herr Family had Ding Fan’s vow, supporting Ding Fan’s conquest of the Northern Wastelands. Once Ding Fan unified the Northern Wastelands, the Herr Family would acquire abundant resources and swiftly prosper.

Herr Rufeng’s eyes reddened anew!

Though simple, she was no fool and soon grasped Ding Fan’s intent behind his actions. Ding Fan silently conveyed to her and Herr Ningshuang his appreciation for the sisters’ goodwill; as long as he was present, the Bai Family wouldn’t be annexed but would flourish instead.

For the first time, Ding Fan’s eyes turned towards Herr Rufeng, with a slight, fleeting smile, yet Herr Rufeng saw it.

Herr Rufeng’s face also broke into a smile, a mesmerizing smile that was hard to look away from.

Ding Fan appointed Madam Yan as his Grand Master. In truth, Madam Yan’s combat ability wasn’t particularly high, only at the Fifth Level of the Divine Realm, and Ding Fan didn’t need Madam Yan’s combat prowess; he had sufficient fighting force. What he sought was Madam Yan’s wisdom and strategy.

Madam Yan, nicknamed "Iron Lady," was exceptionally adept in tactics and schemes, leading individuals unknowingly into her trap, often catching them off guard.

Zhong Zhiyong is his visible General, while Madam Yan is responsible for acting behind the scenes and handling those shady tasks.

They can mutually restrain each other. He doesn’t distrust Zhong Zhiyong, but as the future Great Emperor of the Northern Wastelands, he needs to maintain balance, which is the so-called way of the emperor.

Ye Li and other Ye Family members are actually suited to work in the dark, but the identities of Ye Family members are sensitive. Ding Fan doesn’t plan to make much use of them. The Night Cat and others wholeheartedly follow them, so he naturally needs to consider the Ye Family members.

The enemies of the Night Duck are too formidable. Once known by the Qingyuan Sect and the other Six Great Forces, the entire Northern Wastelands would face terrible bloody chaos, and both the Ye Family and the Meng Family would face extinction, dragging Ding Fan into the mess.

Thus, he appoints Madam Yan to oversee the grand situation. Previously, all affairs of the Herr Family were under Madam Yan’s control, and Madam Yan once managed the vast Tianmu Sea, demonstrating her capability.

Ding Fan also plans to establish a Secret Department led by the Crimson Flame.

The role of this secret group is to monitor Madam Yan and Zhong Zhiyong. Crimson Flame, Madam Yan, and Zhong Zhiyong supervise each other, balance each other, allowing Ding Fan to cultivate in peace.

Upon receiving the appointment, Madam Yan’s face turned entirely red, and Herr Qianjun and others felt excited by this news. Ding Fan values the Herr Family highly; as long as they work well with Ding Fan, the Herr Family could soar again in the near future.

Madam Yan obeys the order and starts coordinating the overall picture. Upon knowing Madam Yan’s appointment, Zhong feels a bit frustrated, after all, Madam Yan can control him. Although Madam Yan cannot control him in the external battles, he always feels a sword hanging over his head. If he harbors other thoughts, he and his Zhong Family Clan would be wiped out.

He was once a hegemon; he understands that Ding Fan does not distrust him, but it’s merely a method to balance the superior. He doesn’t think much, he wholeheartedly follows Ding Fan, he must first make significant contributions.

The entire Divine Earth City appears very busy; several days have gone by, and some clan leaders haven’t arrived yet. These people are undoubtedly the most loyal clans of the Lin Family and must be eliminated.

Madam Yan has begun leading people to formulate plans, not for the current Divine Country, but for the entire Northern Wastelands, which still includes Shenwu Country, Divine Heaven Country, and Thousand Gods Country. How to win these three countries at the lowest cost becomes Madam Yan’s primary task.

Five days later, the appointed time arrives, and Zhong Zhiyong leads the army to commence the conquest of the dozen or so cities that have not come to pledge allegiance.

These dozen territories are controlled by Fourth Level clans. Zhong Zhiyong brought two Sixth Level Divine Realm masters, conquering two cities effortlessly; now it’s not even necessary to say a month, it’s estimated that conquering the entire Divine Country would take just around twenty days.

...

The matter on this side quickly spread throughout the Northern Wastelands. The Temple of the Gods and Zheng Tianxing accepted Ding Fan’s letters.

Zheng Tianxing was quite courteous, expressing that he would always wait in Daozhen City, waiting for Ding Fan to come over to drink together. Zheng Tianxing expressed his willingness to fully support Ding Fan.

A letter from the Temple of the Gods arrived, asking Ding Fan not to destroy the temples everywhere else, other matters are not of concern to the Temple.

Divine Heaven Country was in panic, and the Tian Family, being royal, had no idea what to do.

Shenwu Country was also panicking, with constant internal disputes in the Zhao Family. Some cursed Ding Fan fiercely, some said the situation could not be resisted, while others proposed joining forces with Divine Heaven Country to fight Ding Fan to the death.

The Tian Family of Divine Heaven Country and the Zhao Family of Shenwu Country, these two families are the dominant powers of the Northern Wastelands, and naturally, the resources of the two countries belong to these two families.

If they surrender to Ding Fan, Ding Fan will certainly seize these resources. Without resources, how can the families develop? Once family resources decrease, the samurai of the outer hall will betray one after another, the family will become weaker and weaker, eventually possibly leading to extinction...

Someone in Divine Heaven Country proposed to go to the Central Plains to appeal to the Spirit Dragon Hall, arguing that Ding Fan, being a disciple of the Sirius Clan’s Ding Family, is attempting to unify the Northern Wastelands, clearly disregarding the Central Plains Eleven Royal Clans’ agreement against interfering with other continents.

Divine Heaven Country feels this approach will certainly be effective, thus sends someone to prepare to go to the Central Plains. However, after opening the teleportation array, they discovered that the teleportation array on the Black Water City side was unexpectedly closed.

From this unusual event, Divine Heaven Country sensed something amiss, how many days have passed since Ding Fan and his team returned, and yet the teleportation array on that side is still closed? Has Ding Fan already bought off the Taiwang Palace of the Central Plains’ Black Water City?
