Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2214: Chapter 2249: Crimson Flame Reappears

"Bang!"

Zhong Family’s Lao Liu’s enormous Divine Weapon collided with Xu Guotao’s Divine Weapon, unsurprisingly shattering Xu Guotao’s weapon. Xu Guotao was right on it and couldn’t escape his fate, being killed instantly.

"Whizz"

After killing Xu Guotao, Zhong Family’s Lao Liu cast a cold gaze at Ding Fan. Zhong Zhiqiang angrily shouted, "Go quickly, we can’t kill anyone else, or we’ll all die here!"

Zhong Family’s Lao Liu reluctantly controlled his flying sword to flee with Zhong Zhiqiang, but at this moment, two sounds of breaking through the air came from the southwest direction, followed by an angry roar, "You Zhong Family bastards, after killing people from my Tianmu Sea, do you still think you can leave? In your dreams!"

"Whizz!"

Two sounds broke through the air quickly arriving—a Fifth Level Elementary Stage cultivator and a Fifth Level Middle Stage cultivator; two experts broke through the air. Ding Fan glanced at one person and recognized him; he was Herr Family’s expert, Herr Chen, who had accompanied Herr Ningshuang’s sisters at Skull Island a few days ago.

Have Herr Family’s experts finally appeared?

The chaos on scene left Ding Fan at a loss. Why did Zhong Family experts appear here? Who was the person who let out a cold snort? Why did Herr Family’s experts arrive so quickly?

Mu Gaosou was frightened, not knowing what to do. He timidly looked at Ding Fan and whispered, "Master, what should we do now?"

How would Ding Fan know what should be done now?

He turned his gaze towards Zhong Zhiqiang and the other who were flying away, only to see Herr Chen and another Herr Family expert hurriedly chasing them, as if a battle was about to erupt.

"Don’t move!" he whispered to Mu Gaosou, "We won’t do anything!"

There were far too many experts here, and if they acted recklessly, it would be easy to get killed. Ding Fan thought for a moment and whispered, feeling weary, "We need to get down, and keep a low profile; otherwise, we might get killed."

Mu Gaosou hurriedly controlled his Divine Weapon to descend, and the two stood on the beach watching the situation in the sky.

"Boom~"

The northwest soon echoed with explosive sounds, as the two Herr Family experts confronted Zhong Family’s experts.

The identities of the four people were clear as Ding Fan and Mu Gaosou watched each other, secretly guessing the identity of the mysterious expert who had just let out a cold snort.

"Master, is it possible that it’s the mysterious expert who went to Shenwu Country to help us?"

Mu Gaosou asked quietly, and Ding Fan pondered; it seemed possible. Earlier, when Zhong Zhiqiang was going to attack him, the mysterious expert coldly snorted, and Zhong Zhiqiang fled. The mysterious expert was clearly helping him.

That person hadn’t appeared, so Ding Fan dared not speculate recklessly, nervously waiting for the result of the fight between Herr Chen and Zhong Family’s experts.

As for the people who came from Moon and Rosy Clouds Island, they were even more bewildered than Ding Fan.

Xu Guotao was killed by Zhong Family’s expert, and Xu Haitian was killed by Mu Gaosou. These people suddenly lost their backbone, and with so many terrifying experts about, they were scared silly, not knowing what to do.

Continue fighting?

Can they kill Ding Fan? Once Ding Fan uses his Sirius Howl, he’d slaughter them like cattle and sheep. Would they still throw themselves into death?

Escape?

The situation is still unclear; who dares to move recklessly? Perhaps they’ll be killed soon; everyone anxiously waits on the warship.

"Boom boom~"

The northwest’s explosions grew louder, the waves surged like a tsunami, though everyone couldn’t see the battle far away, the terrifying aura permeated.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, a frightening scream sounded, causing Ding Fan and everyone from Moon and Rosy Clouds Island to tense, as the scream was indeed Herr Chen’s. Was Herr Chen killed by Zhong Family’s people?

Thinking that Zhong Zhiqiang’s realm was like the Sixth Level Expert’s peak, and not Lord Chi Yannong’s opponent, it’s understandable.

"Herr Chen!"

Sorrowful and angry voices confirmed this speculation, as Herr Zhan shouted angrily, "Zhong Zhiqiang, you’re finished, the Zhong Family is finished too! You dare kill Herr Chen, our family master will surely obliterate your Zhong Family."

"Swish~"

Countless warriors of Moon and Rosy Clouds Island turned pale, as Ding Fan and Mu Gaosou lamented internally, things have exceeded their expectations.

Was Herr Family’s expert killed?

Master Daozhen, in his fury, many people might face misfortune—this event stemmed from Ding Fan; his days might also be implicated.

"Uncle Chen~"

In the southwest, a sorrowful woman’s voice rang out, followed by a familiar voice of Ding Fan roaring, "Zhong Zhiqiang, go die!"

Madam Yan and Herr Qianjun have arrived!

Ding Fan and Mu Gaosou looked at one another, feeling the situation was becoming increasingly difficult. As Madam Yan and Herr Qianjun arrived, today’s scene was entirely out of control.

"Retreat"

Ding Fan glanced at Mu Gaosou, and the two quietly retreated towards Skull Island; the target on the beach was too obvious. They mustn’t let the furious Madam Yan and Herr Qianjun treat them as punching bags.

They soon withdrew into the small woods by the dock and looked into the distance, seeing a huge super airship chasing in the direction of Zhong Family’s two experts, with Madam Yan and Herr Qianjun standing at the front of the deck, their murderous aura exposed, felt for miles around the super airship.

"Master, should we hurry and escape?"

Mu Gaosou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and advised Ding Fan to run away. As long as they entered the otherworld, they would be safe. The current situation was completely beyond their control; if they weren’t careful, both of them might die here.

Ding Fan’s face was somewhat heavy. It was easy for him and Mu Gaosou to escape, but what about the people from the Skeleton Sect and the Wu Family?

Bringing so many people into that otherworld would require a lot of time, and that otherworld was easily exposed. If Ding Fan didn’t take the people from the Skeleton Sect, they would all be killed.

"Young Master, don’t be afraid, with me here, no one can harm you."

A cold, murderous voice came from behind, startling both Ding Fan and Mu Gaosou. They turned their gaze to the back and saw a man, and their faces were filled with astonishment.

Behind them stood a middle-aged man in red, holding a battle saber. His hair was all red, and his face seemed to be carved from stone, icy cold.

Crimson Flame!

Ding Fan had a deep impression of this person, but Mu Gaosou had never met Crimson Flame. However, he felt Crimson Flame’s aura and was stunned because he couldn’t gauge Crimson Flame’s realm.

Ding Fan swallowed and quickly reacted, asking, "Lord Chi Yan, was it you... who saved my life?"

"Yes!"

Crimson Flame’s face remained expressionless as he coldly said, "Not only now, but I was also the one who killed Zhong Wushang at Wolf Fall Cliff, helped you clear the Scout Cavalry in Shenwu Country, and led the Zhong Family people around in circles."

"This..."

Ding Fan and Mu Gaosou were stunned, their minds momentarily collapsing.

The entire Northern Wastelands was filled with speculation about who used the "Heaven and Earth’s Momentum" to kill Zhong Wushang at Wolf Fall Cliff. They were investigating that mysterious expert who had been protecting Ding Fan all along, but they didn’t suspect it was the same person, or someone they couldn’t have guessed.

Crimson Flame, the lone wolf of the Tianmu Sea, was the only one who rejected a good life at the Herr Family, also responsible for a Herr Family lady’s suicide, yet remained safe.

He was a fervent person, once kneeling on one knee, but left because Ding Fan couldn’t activate the old Sirius’s talisman. He never returned to Skull Island, yet he was secretly protecting Ding Fan all the while.

Ding Fan and Mu Gaosou stared at Crimson Flame, their eyes flickering, restless at heart, while Crimson Flame remained expressionless, silent, and exceedingly cold.

After enough time to rest for ten seconds, Ding Fan reacted and asked Crimson Flame, "Lord Chi Yan, did you breakthrough the Sixth Level Realm of the Divine Realm?"

Crimson Flame, still without expression, nodded calmly, saying, "Before visiting you at Skull Island, I prepared all the spiritual materials and broke through to the Divine Realm Sixth Level after returning."

"So strong!"

Mu Gaosou and Ding Fan were astounded, as Crimson Flame was a lone cultivator with no support from family power, yet could easily break through the Divine Realm Sixth Level on his own collected materials, truly a genius.

Ding Fan was silent for a moment, then asked the most crucial question, "Lord Chi Yan, didn’t you confirm I’m not the heir of Sirius? Why do you still call me Young Master and keep protecting me? I can’t activate your master’s talisman."

"Heh, heh!"

Crimson Flame finally laughed, though it was cold, waving his hand, he said, "That talisman was fake. I did it on purpose. As for calling you Young Master, I knew it the moment I saw you."

The space ring in Crimson Flame’s hand shone, and he took out a painting scroll and unfurled it. The scroll depicted a handsome man, causing Ding Fan to shudder at a glance.

Because...

It was the portrait of the old Sirius. Especially the man’s body in the painting had the same howling Sirius tattoo that Ding Fan had. This was evidently the portrait of the young old Sirius. With the tattoo in the painting, Crimson Flame had known Ding Fan’s identity all along.

"Fake talisman?"

Ding Fan furrowed his brows, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Lord Chi Yan, why did you test me with a fake talisman? And you pretended I wasn’t the heir of Sirius?"

"Because of Madam Yan!"

Crimson Flame explained, saying, "At that time, Madam Yan was probing from above. You must have felt it, right? Since you didn’t want to admit you were the heir of the old Sirius, I staged a scene to help conceal your identity. Anyway, I could secretly protect you."

"Madam Yan!"

Ding Fan suddenly realized not admitting his identity as the heir of Sirius at the time was because a powerful presence was lurking nearby, unexpectedly Madam Yan.

Ding Fan jumped in fright, then asked, "Lord Chi Yan, you said the old Sirius has done great favors for you... Is it true?"

"Of course!"

Crimson Flame nodded, solemnly saying, "In fact, most of my spiritual materials were given by your master. He guided me in comprehending the Heaven and Earth’s Momentum. The Daozhen Family doesn’t dare touch me because the old Sirius and Master Daozhen met once. The old Sirius gave me a great favor of transformation; I swore to follow him for life and serve him as my master."

"I see."

Ding Fan understood, resolving many doubts in his mind. Crimson Flame himself was a mystery, but it turns out everything was for the old Sirius.

"I’m still a bit confused."

Ding Fan pondered, then curiously furrowed his brows and said, "Then why didn’t you come to find me? I was almost killed at the Wu Family Fortress in the Great Python Mountain, my woman nearly lost her life too, now taken to Tongzhou Jade Roc Palace."

"I’m sorry, Young Master!"

Crimson Flame’s face showed a sense of guilt, saying, "I have enemies in the Divine Heaven Country, and dare not leave the Tianmu Sea. Also, I am alone, unaware of matters outside the Tianmu Sea, and rarely pay attention. If it weren’t for Madam Yan, finding someone to remind me, I wouldn’t know of your existence. I thought the master had long returned to the Sirius Clan in the Central Plains, so I was thinking of going to the Central Plains to find the master after breaking through the Sixth Level in the Divine Realm."

"Oh, oh!"

Everything was clear now. In fact, when Crimson Flame took out the portrait of the old Sirius, Ding Fan already believed him, having seen the remnants left by the old Sirius in the tomb, feeling it was the same person.
