Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2336: Chapter 2371: Finding the Entrance

"Purple Gold Wolf Claw!"

His true self didn’t flee, as a dozen Ding Fans charged toward the sudden figure. The hand in his sleeve transformed into a green wolf claw, aiming to grab the head of the Bronze Figure attacking him.

"Bang!"

This time, there was no surprise; the attacker’s head exploded easily. Before dying, his eyes still showed bewilderment, as if he was still pondering which one was Ding Fan’s real body.

"Whizz~"

Crimson Flame flew over through the blood rain, standing by Ding Fan’s side. His eyes held fear, and panic was evident on his face.

"Huff huff~"

Ding Fan panted for a moment without hesitating too long. He immediately shattered the Warning Talisman, calling for Ye Li to return promptly. If not for his swift response earlier, he would surely have been a corpse by now.

Moreover, the target was clearly him this time. If the attack had been aimed at Herr Rufeng and Zhao Xiner, they would likely be dead by now.

Two copper-colored claws; Ding Fan thought that although they weren’t as good as his claws, they could easily crush Herr Rufeng and Zhao Xiner’s heads.

"How can they turn invisible? He also knows how to utilize the strategy of luring the tiger away. What terrifying abilities and high intelligence these are."

Crimson Flame’s eyes were heavy. Earlier, the copper-colored man was lurking beside Ding Fan, unnoticed until he revealed his true self and killing intent, which Crimson Flame then detected.

This was merely an invisible Bronze Figure. If a dozen such experts had appeared simultaneously, they would all be dead by now.

Ye Li quickly returned, taking less than an hour.

Upon Ye Li’s return, Ding Fan promptly led Zhao Xiner and Herr Ningshuang to the exit.

Herr Rufeng was reluctant to leave, repeatedly pleading with Ding Fan to allow her to stay, but Ding Fan seemed deaf to her requests. Upon reaching the exit, he instructed, "Both of you must leave. This is my order, no conditions allowed. Rufeng, once outside, teleport to Dream Love City immediately. Have your aunt dispatch people to investigate this strange race. Even if you must search through all historical records, find information on this race for me."

"Knowing both oneself and the enemy is the path to victory. Without intelligence on this race, Ding Fan fears he won’t be able to sleep. What if these Bronze Figures escape this Other World and reach the Northern Wastelands? How many could be assassinated?"

Simultaneously, Ding Fan advised them to keep it secret, telling no one but Madam Yan, lest it causes widespread panic.

The exit was under a cliff; jumping down would lead back to the Demon Sea. Ding Fan instructed Ye Li to send both women out, and Herr family’s warriors should be gathering outside.

"Ding Fan, be careful!"

"Ding Fan, we’ll be waiting for your victorious return outside."

Herr Rufeng and Zhao Xiner deeply looked at Ding Fan, then were led away by Ye Li. Ding Fan was an emperor, yet they didn’t call him emperor, which made their relationship feel distant, a title Ding Fan didn’t care for.

Half an hour later, Ye Li returned, not emerging from the cliff but floating back from nearby. Upon entering from outside, one teleported near the cliff, not inside it.

Ye Li nodded toward Ding Fan, saying, "Herr family’s chief is outside. The army is gathering outside, let’s wait a bit."

Ding Fan sat nearby, while Ye Li and Crimson Flame stayed close, their Divine Sense continuously exploring. This time, no Bronze Figures came to attack; after a day, Zhong Zhiyong returned with Zhao Tianyong, bringing six to seven Divine Realm Sixth Level experts, including Ye Family’s Four Great Elders and over thirty Divine Realm Fifth Level experts.

"Salute the Great Emperor!"

Kneeling on one knee, a group shouted in chorus. Ding Fan waved to the crowd, then asked Zhao Tianyong, "General, have you heard of this strange race?"

After describing the strange race’s appearance, Zhao Tianyong furrowed his brows in contemplation before growling, "Zhao Tianba, return to Shenwu City immediately. Our Zhao family’s secret history records various strange tales from the Northern Wastelands. I vaguely recall information on this peculiar race."

Ding Fan and the others immediately perked up. The Great Elder of Zhao family, Zhao Tianba, quickly teleported out from within the cliff.

With so many experts around, Ding Fan felt completely at ease. He waved his hand, saying, "Ye Family Head, lead a group to explore alone. General Zhao, you also take a team to explore. Apart from Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame, everyone else scatter to explore. Capturing a Bronze Figure for interrogation is the top priority; if you encounter Tigertooth Apes... slaughter them all."

In the Northern Wastelands, no one understood Soul exploration, but Ye Li knew a secret technique for extracting information through torture. Before the army moved in, capturing one of these monsters to uncover their origins was paramount.

Tigertooth Apes had low intelligence and appeared monstrous. To Ding Fan, they were mere beasts. Finding Herr Ningshuang was his top priority, and the disruptive Tigertooth Apes had to be exterminated.

Groups of elite warriors dispersed to locate and capture a member of the strange race. Ding Fan took Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame to begin wandering and exploring.

Battle quickly ignited nearby. Each squad encountered Tigertooth Apes, beginning their slaughter as they searched for a member of the strange race.

Periodically, someone would locate Ding Fan to update him on each team’s status. Disappointingly, after half a day, no copper-colored person had been captured.

A few hours later, they encountered Herr Qianjun, who was brought before Ding Fan looking dejected. He had been wandering in this alternate world for two or three days and had fought those bronze figures many times, but found no trace of Herr Ningshuang.

Ding Fan’s heart sank, the only consolation was that the Life Charm left behind by Herr Ningshuang remained unbroken, which meant she wasn’t dead. As long as she was alive, there was hope of rescuing her.

Keep searching, keep killing.

Troops kept coming in from outside, and Ding Fan ordered a carpet search. All the Tigertooth Apes were slaughtered. If anyone could capture a freak from the mysterious race, Ding Fan ordered they would be heavily rewarded.

This alternate world wasn’t very large. Ding Fan brought in more than half of the Northern Wastelands’ experts, totaling about seven to eight thousand people. Every three hundred people formed a team, easily sweeping across the entire alternate world.

The Tigertooth Apes were killed, slaughtered one after another, the whole world was covered in bones and rivers of blood. Ding Fan had made up his mind; the fate of the Tigertooth Apes was sealed. It would be fortunate if Herr Ningshuang could be found this time. If not, the Tigertooth Apes would surely be exterminated.

Ding Fan was at this moment on a small mountain in the alternate world. With so many people out searching, it was meaningless for him to bring a few more to search. He might as well wait here for news.

But...

The troops searched for two days, slaughtering many Tigertooth Apes, but still found no clues. The strange bronze figures appeared many times and at least a dozen were killed, but not a single one was captured alive.

On the third day!

Zhao Tianba returned, and Madam Yan sent someone to deliver a message. Finally, they found information about the mysterious race, allowing Ding Fan to breathe a sigh of relief.

Copper Fiend Tribe.

The Zhao Family and major families of Shenwu Country remembered this race because it wreaked havoc in the Northern Wastelands more than six thousand years ago. However, it did not appear in Tianmu Sea, instead, it appeared in Shenwu Country.

At the time, Shenwu Country was not under the Zhao Family; it was controlled by a powerful Sixth Level force. The leader of that force comprehended an extremely powerful ancient True Insight, possessing incredibly strong combat power. He easily swept away all experts of the Copper Fiend Tribe, destroying their exit, preventing the situation from escalating, and keeping the Copper Fiend Tribe unknown to the public.

According to historical records, the Copper Fiend Tribe is a race different from humans, supposedly living in an alternate world. This race possesses abnormal speed, and most importantly, they can become invisible and move swiftly underground.

The defense of the Copper Fiend Tribe is weak, and their combat strength is not very strong. Back then, the leader of that Sixth Level family had a strong Divine Sense, making it easy to find and kill the invisible members of the Copper Fiend Tribe, thus preventing major disasters.

"Copper Fiend Tribe?"

Ding Fan squinted his eyes after reading the information, verifying one point based on this information.

The members of the Copper Fiend Tribe were not from the Tigertooth Ape World but instead hailed from another alternate world where the two Small Worlds might connect.

Herr Ningshuang went missing; so many people couldn’t find her, yet she wasn’t dead. There was only one explanation: she either entered the Copper Fiend Tribe’s alternate world through some channel or was captured by the Copper Fiend Tribe.

"Find that alternate world’s entrance!"

Ding Fan stood up and ordered, "We must find the passage. Any cave, any strange place. Once the passage is found, we will enter the Copper Fiend Tribe’s alternate world!"

Five days!

Almost all the Tigertooth Apes in the Tigertooth Ape World were slaughtered, leaving only some of the major tribes’ leaders for Ding Fan to interrogate; otherwise, they too would be killed.

Seventy-eight hundred people searched across the alternate world, almost turning it inside out, yet couldn’t even find a trace of Herr Ningshuang, nor the caves or passages. Although no entrance was found, hundreds of strange places were discovered.

Experts of the Sixth Level in the Divine Realm led teams to explore these caves and passages, eliminating the strange places one by one. After three days, they finally narrowed their focus to three areas.

One was an underground cave, very deep. Zhao Tianyong personally traveled several thousand miles without reaching the end; he dared not venture further and returned to report to Ding Fan.

The second place was discovered by a Ye Family elder, a swamp. Similarly, this swamp seemed bottomless, with Ye Family members diving several thousand miles deep without reaching the bottom.

The third place was a cave filled with toxic gases. Even Sixth Level experts of the Divine Realm dared not venture in; it was extremely dark inside, and everyone’s Divine Sense couldn’t reach the end.

Ding Fan led the army to the nearest cave and sent Ye Li, Zhao Tianyong, and Zhong Zhiyong down. These three were very cautious; this time, they had to reach the bottom of the cave.

Three hours later, the three emerged, having reached the end of the cave without any discovery. Ding Fan waved his hand in disappointment and said, "Go to the second place."

The cave with lots of toxic gases wasn’t far from here; they arrived half a day later. Ding Fan took a distant look at the cave, saw the black mist inside, and smelled a pungent odor before even getting close.

"Blast open the cave for me!"

Ding Fan chose the most direct way; countless Fifth Level warriors of the Divine Realm unleashed their True Yuan, directly blasting open the cave entrance. Then, he ordered continuous bombardment, blasting the entire mountain. Since the toxic mist made entry impossible, they opened a path to disperse the toxic gases.
