Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2215: Chapter 2250: No Other Choice

Additionally, Crimson Flame’s actions at Wolf Fall Cliff in Shenwu Country made Ding Fan consider Crimson Flame as one of his own.

"Boom!"

Explosions sound from the Northwest Region, Herald Qianjun and others are estimated to have begun attacking Zhong Zhiqiang, but Ding Fan is no longer worried because he stands beside a Sixth Level Expert of the Divine Realm, who has also comprehended the Heaven and Earth’s Momentum.

Thinking about it, Ding Fan softly asks, "Lord Chi Yan, the old Sirius once fought with a powerful enemy in the Northern Wastelands. If you reveal your identity, my identity will be exposed. Will this cause any issues?"

"It’s nothing."

Crimson Flame thinks as he speaks, "For nearly a thousand years, a Ninth Level Expert has not appeared in the Northern Wastelands. The master should be battling external enemies. It’s been over ten years now, and the enemy still hasn’t found you, so there’s surely no problem.

After a pause, he continues, "Of course, staying low-key is better, but I will try my best to protect you. After all, the master’s identity is special. His enemies certainly aren’t a small force, right? Young Master, do you know where the master is?"

"I don’t know!"

"When I entered the Ancient Tomb, the old Sirius was no longer there. I only found a trace of his Divine Sense left behind. As for whether he died or went somewhere else, I really don’t know. So much time has passed, and I’ve never heard anything about the Sirius Clan. They’ve never even contacted me."

"Lord Chi Yan!"

Ding Fan looks at Crimson Flame and says, "Can you take me to the Central Plains? I want to check out the Sirius Clan’s situation and see where the old Sirius lived."

"Young Master, you can call me Chi Yan—calling me ’lord’ at every turn makes me feel uneasy. Going to the Central Plains is no problem, but it will take three to four months as I have some things to handle."

Crimson Flame solemnly speaks to Ding Fan.

"That’s great!"

Ding Fan’s face is full of joy. With Crimson Flame’s protection, he can easily find the Sirius Clan, and once he finds the Sirius Clan, everything else will be easy.

"Boom boom..."

The explosions ahead are quite intense, Ding Fan looks in that direction and asks Crimson Flame, "Soon Madam Yan will definitely be looking for trouble with me, Chi Yan, can you handle this?"

"Relax, Young Master."

Crimson Flame speaks quite nonchalantly, "Master Daozhen and the old Sirius swore an oath, Master Daozhen cannot harm me. As for Herr Wan Zhan, I am not afraid of him at all. Thus, no one in Tianmu Sea can harm you. If the Yan Family dares to act recklessly, I’ll capture her and let you handle her as you see fit."

"That’s good!"

Listening to Crimson Flame, Ding Fan casually heads back towards Skull Fort with Crimson Flame and Mu Gaosou, and lets Sirius lead the way ahead.

With a Sixth Level Expert of the Divine Realm beside him, and as Crimson Flame has sensed the "Heaven and Earth’s Momentum," Ding Fan feels like there’s nothing to fear.

The sounds from ahead gradually fade away; it seems the battle between Herald Qianjun and Zhong Zhiqiang has ended. If Herald Family’s Battle Hall leader with a few Fifth Level Experts of the Divine Realm cannot handle two masters from the Zhong Family, then Herald Qianjun doesn’t need to hold his position anymore.

Mu Gaosou walks humbly behind Ding Fan and Crimson Flame, his body like a javelin, seemingly not daring to breathe.

Listening to Crimson Flame and Ding Fan’s conversation earlier, he learned many things, and now he fears Ding Fan greatly. To be honest, previously he had some defiance towards Ding Fan, but now he truly admires him fully.

"Young Master, your pet is incredible—it seems to be a descendant of Ancient Desolate Beasts!"

Looking at the bounding Sirius exploring ahead, Crimson Flame’s eyes reveal a sharp gleam as he speaks to Ding Fan. However, Ding Fan already knows Sirius’s terror, so he just nods, saying nothing.

Seeing the trio about to walk out of the woods and arrive at Skull Fort, Ding Fan pulls out from his Space Ring the Ghost Mask given by Ye Li and hands it to Crimson Flame, saying, "Wear this mask; our identities are somewhat sensitive, so it’s better to be cautious. Also, don’t call me Young Master again, especially in front of outsiders."

"Yes!"

Crimson Flame nods in agreement, then puts on the Ghost Mask, which masks his powerful aura. The Ghost Mask is indeed a treasure, and only those above the Sixth Level in the Divine Realm can see through it, which suits Crimson Flame perfectly.

"Whoosh~"

Just before the trio reaches Skull Fort, a massive Super Airship rapidly approaches from the northwest. Ding Fan waves for the martial artists gathered in front of Skull Fort to disperse, and then looks up to the sky.

On the Super Airship above, Herald Qianjun stands with a proud demeanor, holding two bloody heads. Herr Ningshuang and Herr Rufeng stand on the deck, along with several experts from the Herr Family.

Madam Yan lowers her head, thinks for a moment, then says to Herald Qianjun, "Brother Jun, you head back first and report the situation to Elder Zhan. Let the family master decide on the matter, while I deal with things here."

Herald Qianjun knows that Skull Island is now a complete mess, all caused by Madam Yan, so she must handle the aftermath. He apathetically nods.

"Let us go too!"

Herr Ningshuang immediately says with concern, fearing that out of anger, Madam Yan will slap Ding Fan to death.

This Madam Yan wanted to teach Ding Fan a lesson but didn’t expect Ding Fan to kill those she brought, not only ruining Madam Yan’s face but also causing the death of a Fifth Level Expert from the Herr Family. Though Herr Chen was killed by Zhong Zhiqiang, Ding Fan is somewhat related regardless.

"Herr Zhan, tie these two girls up and keep them confined; do not let them out for half a year!"

Madam Yan furiously shouted, her voice reaching even Ding Fan and the others standing before Skull Fort’s entrance. Madam Yan held a high position within the Daozhen Family, so Herr Zhan had no choice but to step forward and block Herr Ningshuang and Herr Rufeng.

"Whoosh!"

Madam Yan, along with a Fifth Level Expert from the Divine Realm, flew down directly and landed in the vacant lot in front of Skull Fort.

The super airship above roared away into the distance, while Herr Ningshuang gazed dimly at the blurry figures below and shouted, "Aunt, if you kill Ding Fan, I will hate you forever."

"Hmm..."

Standing before Skull Fort, Ding Fan felt a trembling in his heart and emotionally looked towards the super airship disappearing into the distance. After it vanished, he retreated inward, and looking at Madam Yan, he bowed respectfully and said, "Ding Fan greets Madam, and pays respect to this Lord. Please come inside and be seated."

Madam Yan and the He Family expert cast a glance at Crimson Flame, who wore a mask, then walked frostily towards Skull Fort’s main hall. Ding Fan and Crimson Flame followed along with Mu Gaosou.

Upon entering the discussion hall, Madam Yan impolitely sat in the principal seat, gave Crimson Flame another glance, and coldly spoke to Ding Fan: "Ding Fan, you are bold! Daring to collude with the Zhong Family to kill Xu Guotao and others, and you also killed one of our He Family’s experts. Are you planning to destroy our Daozhen Family within a few days, or do you want to become the ruler of Tianmu Sea?"

Ding Fan and Mu Gaosou couldn’t help but roll their eyes, knowing Madam Yan’s accusations were set to sentence him and force his submission!

If Ding Fan did not know how to advance or retreat, Madam Yan was likely to move against him.

Standing beside Crimson Flame, Ding Fan was fearless. Crimson Flame had said that Master Daozhen and the old man from Sirius had an agreement not to act against Crimson Flame. Moreover, Herr Wanzhan wouldn’t necessarily be able to deal with Crimson Flame, thus in Tianmu Sea, no one could harm Ding Fan.

So Ding Fan remained silent for a moment before smiling slightly at Madam Yan and saying, "Madam, can’t we avoid formalities? You know clearer than I the truth of the matter, why don’t you tell me to either bow or die? That’s easier to understand."

"Hmm!"

Madam Yan snorted coldly, "Do you wish to bow, or die here?"

Ding Fan shrugged and waved to Mu Gaosou, saying, "You go out and don’t let anyone approach us here."

Mu Gaosou immediately obeyed and exited, while Ding Fan looked at the Fifth Level Expert from the He family behind Madam Yan and said, "You shouldn’t stay here either, go out."

"Hmm?"

Madam Yan and the Divine Realm’s Fifth Level Expert felt slightly shocked; was Ding Fan daring enough to order him out? Had he lost his mind, thinking he could command an expert from the Herr family?

At that moment, Crimson Flame suddenly spoke, "Yan family, have your people leave."

Madam Yan and that expert’s eyes swept over Crimson Flame, flickering with cold indifference and a faint murderous aura. Could they be so few in Tianmu Sea who dare to address Madam Yan as Yan family? Who was this mysterious person?

Madam Yan’s beautiful eyes shimmered as she stared at Crimson Flame for a while; suddenly, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said to the expert, "Herr Li, go out."

"Madam."

Herr Li felt some concern; Crimson Flame’s masked presence made it difficult to discern his realm, and yet his body carried a peculiar aura, making him unwilling to underestimate him. How could he feel at ease?

"It’s fine, you go out!"

Madam Yan waved her hand again, and Herr Li had no choice but to leave. In the Daozhen Family, Madam Yan held the fourth rank, and they were all under her control.

After Herr Li walked out, Ding Fan casually sat next to Madam Yan and said, "Madam, it’s not that I don’t wish to bow, but I cannot join any family power. With your intelligence, you should be able to figure that out."

Madam Yan’s eyes fixed on Crimson Flame, "Can you take off your mask?"

Crimson Flame reached down to remove his mask, revealing a cold face before putting it back on. Even though Madam Yan had already guessed Crimson Flame’s identity, upon being confirmed, she still smiled bitterly.

She shook her head slightly, then lifted her gaze, looked at Ding Fan, and said, "So, you two conspired to deceive me. Ding Fan, this generation’s heir to the Sirius legacy, Eldest Young Master Ding, was it fun playing this game with me?"

Then Madam Yan looked at Crimson Flame again and said, "Crimson Flame, are you the one who killed Zhong Wushang beneath Wolf Fall Cliff? Did you go to Wu Family Fortress in Shenwu Country to protect Ding Fan? Did you also have people impersonate you at the auction? You master and servant are quite clever; you treat our entire Daozhen Family as fools. Is this fun?

Crimson Flame did not speak, but seemed to acquiesce. As a servant standing behind Ding Fan, he couldn’t speak if the master hadn’t.

"Not funny!"

Ding Fan waved his hand, "But Madame, you need to understand that it has always been you who toyed with me, not me with you. This time, we wiped out eighty percent of my Skull Island’s martial artists to settle our accounts, right?"

"Young Master Ding!"

Madam Yan, with a frosty expression, said solemnly, "This is the Northern Wastelands, Tianmu Sea, not your Central Plains. Young Master Ding, if you wish to exert influence, go and play with your Sirius Clan. If you had informed me of your identity earlier, would I have disturbed you? Do you think just a newly promoted Sixth Level Crimson Flame can suppress our Daozhen Family?"

"Of course, just me alone isn’t enough!" Crimson Flame suddenly said, "However, I have specially communicated back to the Sirius Clan. Before long, the experts of the Sirius Clan will come to welcome this generation’s heir, even my master will come personally. Two hundred years ago, my master could already sweep the Divine Realm; do you think your Daozhen Family can bear the wrath of our Sirius Clan?"
