Top-tier Unruly Master

The Northern Wastelands have been quite unsettled lately.

Because at some unknown point, there was a rumor that Ding Fan angered a person of great importance from the Central Plains, and now that person is crossing the sea to kill Ding Fan.

Such a significant event naturally spread quickly, and within just a few days, it had spread throughout the Northern Wastelands. The reactions of Ding Fan, Madam Yan, Zhong Zhiyong, and others made the Northern Wastelands even more panicked.

Zhong Zhiyong was arresting people everywhere. Anyone who dared spread the rumor was directly thrown into prison, and if the situation was severe, they'd be killed on the spot?

Madam Yan issued a notice, saying that this matter was purely a rumor and asked the citizens of the Northern Wastelands to rest assured.

However, the strange thing was that Madam Yan's notice stated that Ding Fan was currently in the Demon Sea understanding the True Insight. She claimed that Ding Fan was about to comprehend a terrifying Divine Skill and that his combat power would soon be elevated to the Seventh Level of the Divine Realm. Even if a Seventh Level expert from the Divine Realm came to the Northern Wastelands to kill him, Ding Fan could easily kill him.

This was simply trying to cover up!

This was the thought of many in the Northern Wastelands. There's no smoke without fire, so if there wasn't something like this, why would Zhong Zhiyong be arresting people everywhere? And why would Madam Yan issue this kind of notice?

Claiming that Ding Fan is comprehending the True Insight? That his combat power will soon reach the Seventh Level of the Divine Realm?

This only made the citizens of the Northern Wastelands more suspicious. Ding Fan is still so young, currently only at the Fourth Level middle stage of the Divine Realm. Even if his talent is extraordinary, it's impossible for him to directly leap over the intermediate realms straight to the Seventh Level of the Divine Realm.

There's another rumor saying someone saw Ding Fan fly into a tornado in the Demon Sea. Not only did he not die, but he also easily shattered the tornado, making it collapse.

This matter was spreading more and more fiercely, and even though Zhong Zhiyong arrested many people, it couldn't be suppressed.

Countless people and families began to panic. Many small families, without occupying resources, continued to spread rumors, making the situation in the Northern Wastelands even more turbulent...

Recently, even many teenagers believed that indeed a Seventh Level expert from the Divine Realm was coming to the Northern Wastelands to kill Ding Fan, and the notice issued by Madam Yan and the rumors of Ding Fan still training in the Demon Sea were just to soothe people's hearts.

If there was nothing wrong, why issue a notice? Why cover up Ding Fan's whereabouts?

All of this seemed to point out that it was all true!

The Aotian Empire has been established for less than a year, and besides, Great Emperor Ding Fan did not yet possess enough power to fight. He relied entirely on his few subordinates to create such a large empire. Therefore, the cohesion among the citizens of the Northern Wastelands wasn't very strong yet, and many civilians were panic-stricken day and night, fearing that the just-stabilized Northern Wastelands might fall into war again, causing them to suffer.

Even though matters had been suppressed by Zhong Zhiyong's high-pressure tactics, and no one dared to discuss them openly, secretly, there was still a surge of unrest. Those small forces whose resources were occupied feared peace, continuously spreading alarming messages.

This tactic proved very effective!

In just over ten days, now almost everyone in the Northern Wastelands knew. Two points could be confirmed. First, a powerful expert was coming to the Northern Wastelands to kill Ding Fan. Second, Ding Fan was certainly in the Demon Sea, which many scout cavalry from other families had confirmed.

In fact!

Both of these points were deliberately arranged by Ding Fan; he requested Madam Yan and Zhong Zhiyong to handle it in this way. Ding Fan wanted the entire Northern Wastelands to know these two points. Without his consent and Madam Yan's arrangement, how could this news have spread so quickly?

Ding Fan had his reasons for doing this.

Since the matter was inevitable, he decided to have a good confrontation with Wang Zhongjian.

But this time, Ding Fan chose to fight using strategy. He didn't have the capital for a physical fight, so he chose to use a plot to kill Wang Zhongjian.

Killing someone with a borrowed knife!

The borrowed knife needed to be very sharp, and Ding Fan had the best choice; the Patriarch of the Mothman Clan was ready-made. He was also at the Seventh Level of the Divine Realm. All arrangements were to lure Wang Zhongjian into the Barbarian Lands and then find a way to make him fight the Patriarch of the Mothman Clan, while Ding Fan waited for both to be severely injured.

Only a Seventh Level from the Divine Realm could kill a Seventh Level expert from the Divine Realm. Even with many Sixth Level Divine Realm experts facing a Seventh Level, it would be a sure death. Ding Fan's subordinates didn't have a Seventh Level expert, so he had to borrow another Seventh Level expert's hand to kill Wang Zhongjian.

Undoubtedly, the Patriarch of the Mothman Clan was a good knife!

However, killing with a borrowed knife was not easy. If it went wrong, he might end up dying at Wang Zhongjian's hands. Ding Fan and Madam Yan discussed for a long time before deciding on the arrangements, with rumors being just a part of many arrangements.

Madam Yan's nickname was the Iron Lady. She couldn't effectively fight, nor could she use strategies, but she was very adept at conspiracies. Ding Fan had gone to the Demon Sea a long time ago, and everything that followed was handled by Madam Yan.

An invisible trap had already been set, waiting for Wang Zhongjian to fall into it.

Wang Zhongjian traveled quickly. He traversed the seabed at maximum speed, almost without resting. Only when he truly couldn't hold on did he go ashore to find a small island to rest for a few hours.

He knew he had to race against time, he had to kill Ding Fan before he escaped the Northern Wastelands, otherwise things would change. If the Seventh Level Experts of the Divine Realm from the Spirit Dragon Hall came to protect Ding Fan, then killing him would become a pipedream.

There were indeed many spiritual beasts at sea, and many times, Wang Zhongjian had just fallen asleep only to be awakened by the aura of those powerful spiritual beasts. He had no choice but to kill the beasts before continuing forward.

If one were to cross the ocean on a regular supernatural airship, it would take at least two to three months. Wang Zhongjian crossed this sea region in only twenty-four days, showcasing his speed and his determination to kill Ding Fan.

He wore a mask on his face, one much more advanced than the Illusion Demon Mask. It could conceal his aura, allowing him to change his appearance at any time.

It was precisely this mask that allowed him to travel under the eyes of numerous scout cavalry in the northern part of the Central Plains. Ding Fan and Madam Yan had dispatched many scout cavalry in the sea, but no one could find Wang Zhongjian because his Divine Sense was truly very strong.

Wang Zhongjian did not kill any scout cavalry, fearing that it would alert them. He chose to sneak quietly into the Northern Wastelands, wanting to know Ding Fan's whereabouts, understand the situation in the Northern Wastelands, and then kill him in one move.

He walked into a city, circled around the hotel, and through his powerful Divine Sense, he easily gathered a lot of information.

Ding Fan was now the Great Emperor of the Northern Wastelands; he had many Sixth Level Experts under his command but none were Seventh Level Experts. The king city of the Aotian Empire was in Dream Love City, yet Ding Fan was currently in the Demon Sea.

There were rumors in the Northern Wastelands that a mysterious master was coming to kill Ding Fan. At this time, Ding Fan was comprehending the True Insight of swallowing his voice, his combat power would soon approach the Seventh Level of the Divine Realm, and Zhong Zhiyong was hunting those spreading the rumors.

These pieces of information made Wang Zhongjian skeptical.

After all, Wang Zhongjian was the patriarch of a Sixth Grade Family; he wouldn't listen to a few people's words. He flew out of the city and headed to a metropolis. He had a powerful mask that could cover his robust Seventh Level aura, disguised as a small warrior, easily blending into the city, continuing to scout for news.

The news was naturally the same; it was easy to obtain. The arrangements made by Lady Ding Fan and Madam Yan made everyone in the Northern Wastelands know about these two things, and Wang Zhongjian quickly verified that the Northern Wastelands knew of his arrival.

Wang Zhongjian's heart was filled with uncertainty!

Since Ding Fan knew he was coming, why didn't he escape? Still wandering in the Demon Sea, was he tired of living? Was he waiting there to die?

Wang Zhongjian reached his decision after some time of contemplation.

First, go to Dream Love City, secretly capture some of Ding Fan's confidants, interrogate them to determine Ding's location, then take action.

Wang Zhongjian acted with swagger but did not dare go to Dream Love City. Instead, he was delivered all the way to a big city near Dream Love City.

After arriving in the big city, Wang Zhongjian did not immediately go to Dream Love City but spread out his Divine Sense in the inn, starting to inquire about news.

In the City Lord Mansion of this city, the lord and several warriors were discussing his current affairs.

"I've heard a rumor, that the Spirit Dragon Hall deliberately sent a Seventh Level Expert of the Divine Realm to help us kill Wang Zhongjian. The Council of Elders is meeting, estimating the Spirit Dragon Hall will come again within four to five days."

"Hmm, as long as the experts from Spirit Dragon Hall come, should Wang Zhongjian dare to enter the Northern Wastelands, he would be courting disaster."

"That's right. Miss Ling has a good relationship with the Great Emperor. How could she bear to see the emperor in danger?"

"..."

Afterwards, Wang Zhongjian did not listen any further, his face became grim. If the Exquisite Pavilion really sent Seventh Level Experts of the Divine Realm here, he would have no opportunity to kill Ding Fan.

"Go!"

Wang Zhongjian left the city, swiftly heading towards the city where Ding Fan was located; it was very close, half an hour later, he arrived outside Dream Love City.

However, the entire royal city was closed and a simple protective layer was opened, covering the whole city. If he wanted to enter, he would have to break through this protective barrier.

Breaking the protective barrier would be too easy, but if Ding Fan wasn't inside the city, it would scare him off. The Northern Wastelands were Ding Fan's territory, and once Ding Fan hid in some other realm, how could he kill him?

So he had to quietly enter Dream Love City, beginning a covert investigation, his Divine Sense was indeed very strong, easily penetrating the protective barrier, the barrier did not react at all.

"No one?"

Wang Zhongjian was astonished to find not a single expert in the entire Dream Love City, not even a Divine Realm Fifth Level warrior, the palace was empty, only a few maids and servants remained.

Had they fallen into a trap? Or had they all fled?

Wang Zhongjian's eyes gleamed as he continued to explore for a while, once again confirming the news that the Seventh Level Expert of the Divine Realm from Spirit Dragon Hall was about to arrive.
