Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2216: Chapter 2251: The Arrival of the New City Lord

Madam Yan was enraged, glaring at Crimson Flame, she said, "Are you threatening me?"

"If you take this as a threat, then let it be a threat. Yan Family, put away your pride! You are not a fool, you know what’s best for your Herr Family."

Madam Yan fell silent; the previous round of conversation was essentially a game of chess, and it was clear she was the losing side.

Of course, when Ding Fan revealed his identity, Mrs. Yan had already fallen into a losing position, she was merely trying to regain some face, it was just a negotiating tactic.

Ding Fan is the heir of this generation of the Sirius Clan, and he might be the chief of the Sirius Clan in the future!

Because of this, the Daozhen Family cannot afford the responsibility of offending Ding Fan. If Crimson Flame truly has sent a message to the Sirius Clan, and the Sirius Clan really sends experts to see Ding Fan, then just with a word from Ding Fan, the Herr Family could be destroyed.

"Very well then!"

Madam Yan turned her gaze to Ding Fan, forced a smile, and said, "Young Master Ding, this time it was my fault. You set the terms lightly, we can move past it, we can remain friends, as long as your demands aren’t excessive, I can promise you on behalf of the Herr Family."

Madame Yan raised the white flag, surrendering completely.

The negotiations between the two sides were inherently unequal; the Sirius Clan is the most powerful heir family in the Central State, a giant among families, while the Herr Family is merely a Fifth Grade power. Any expert from the Sirius Clan could level the Northern Wastelands, so Madam Yan had no standing to negotiate with Ding Fan!

Ding Fan remained silent; this entire situation was orchestrated by Madam Yan, the deaths at Skull Island were all caused by this Madam Yan.

But when asked to state his conditions, he didn’t know what to do.

Before Crimson Flame appeared, he was worried Madam Yan would take her anger out on Skull Island, but this unforeseen situation left him at a loss.

The dead are gone, should he kill Madam Yan? But Madam Yan is Herr Ningshuang’s aunt, and Herr Ningshuang’s words still echoed in Ding Fan’s ears; Herr Ningshuang truly regarded him as a friend.

Madam Yan hadn’t left a good impression on Ding Fan, she was a real iron lady, always driven by interests, one moment she could be joking with you, and the next she could turn and plot to kill you.

After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and said, "Madam, please return for now; as for the conditions, we can discuss them later. By the way... leave me with Moon Mist, I want to hand it over to the Skeleton Sect, I won’t be living in the Tianmu Sea, I’ll be heading to the Central Plains, I don’t like this small place of yours."

"Alright, that’s not a problem!"

Madam Yan nodded happily, Xu Guotao, Xu Haitian, and Xu Jianqiang had all died, the Xu Family on Moon Mist Island had no power to hold it, Ding Fan asking for the island meant all could come to an end.

The Skeleton Sect and the Wu Family have always followed Ding Fan, and Ding Fan thought that in three months Ye Li and others would come out, Crimson Flame would also take him to the Central State, now it’s like helping Wu Qingxia and the Skeleton Sect a bit.

After occupying Moon Mist Island, the Skeleton Sect could quickly rise, with the Daozhen Family standing behind them, no one would dare to touch the Herr Family in the Tianmu Sea, in this way he could repay both the Skeleton Sect and Wu Qingxia.

Madam Yan stood up and walked outside, Ding Fan did not see her off, she left without a word, taking Herr Li with her, and flew away on the ancient chariot.

After reaching outside Skull Island, Madam Yan stopped and looked at the gathering of Xu Family samurai at the docks, saying to them, "Listen up, Moon Mist Island will belong to Ding Fan from now on. Those who wish to stay will henceforth follow Ding Fan. Those who do not wish to stay may leave, you can go to Baihe Island, I will have the Shen Family prepare a Level Three island for you."

"Whoosh!"

After speaking, Madam Yan flew away without further explanation, many of the Xu Family’s experts were indignant, silently cursing.

The iron lady is indeed the iron lady, this time the Xu Family worked for her, but in the end, this is the result they got.

Of course, many were also very afraid, had Ding Fan truly subdued Madam Yan and successfully taken her position? If Ding Fan sought revenge, would there still be a place for them to survive in the Tianmu Sea?

The law of the jungle prevails, the victor becomes a king, and the defeated a thief. A wolf walks the world and eats meat, a dog walks the world and eats shit, the strong will always be respected!

This is the law of existence in the Northern Desolation of the Divine Realm and throughout the entire Divine Realm, complaining or begging is of no use, facing reality is the right path. The people of the Xu Family immediately withdrew, returning to Moon Mist Island to discuss and arrange subsequent matters.

The Xu Family Army had not yet returned to Moon Mist Island, but the city was already in chaos.

Scout Cavalry had long since reported the battle situation to Xu Xingying, who was dumbfounded on the spot, sitting on the ground for half a day without responding. The disciples of the Xu Family were terrified, the concubines of Xu Guotao were in a panic all day, and the entire city was in turmoil.

It wasn’t just Yuexia City, but the entire Tianmu Sea was in upheaval, though not because of the events on Moon Mist Island, but rather because Zhong Zhiqiang dared to murder Herr Chen.

The Tianmu Sea had agreements with the outside four powers, to prevent further conflict, experts from the four powers were not to enter the Tianmu Sea.

Now, not only had the Zhong Family secretly entered the Tianmu Sea, they even killed a Herr Family expert, which was a provocation, and Master Daozhen was sure to be furious. Not to mention a small Zhong Family, even Shenwu Country might turn into a bloodbath.

And indeed!

Just an hour later, Master Daozhen himself announced to the entire Northern Wastelands that the Zhong Family had dared to break the agreement, the Tianmu Sea would soon launch a crusade on Shenwu Country, directly annihilating the Zhong Family, and anyone who dared to stop it would be the enemy of the Tianmu Sea.

Master Daozhen has declared war, and the entire Tianmu Sea is in an uproar again, with practically all the heads of the Fourth Grade powers going to Daozhen City, requesting to join them in attacking the Zhong Family.

Going to war alongside Master Daozhen is a great honor. As a member of Tianmu Sea, how could one miss such a war? Besides, there’s really no danger this time; the entire activity is about seizing the wealth accumulated by the Zhong Family over the years. The Four Great Royal Clans wouldn’t dare to stand out against it.

Master Daozhen’s combat power ranks in the top three in the Northern Wastelands. He once suppressed the leaders of the four great clans of the Northern Wastelands single-handedly, shocking the entire region. The four clans suffered oppression, and now, with Master Daozhen’s anger, who would dare to come and court death?

The news caused a huge uproar in the Northern Wastelands. There’s no doubt, none of the royal clans voiced any objection, tacitly allowing the expedition, and the fate of the Zhong Family’s demise seems already sealed.

Herr Wanzhan and others are busy preparing for battle, having already deployed a large number of scout cavalry. Such warfare is not a casual affair but requires a complete strategy.

Master Daozhen insists on annihilating the Zhong Family, not allowing a single person to escape.

Thus, Herr Wanzhan dispatched numerous scout cavalry to Shenwu Country, closely monitoring every move of the Zhong Family. Also, they must monitor whether the Four Great Royal Clans take any action. After all, it’s better to be cautious.

The candidates for the expedition must be negotiated and arranged. Not all masters will go; what if a troop takes advantage, attacks Tianmu Sea, and breaks through the Daozhen Villa?

Various resources must be deployed as many masters go out. It’s impossible to let them go hungry; everything needs proper arrangement.

Herr Wanzhan convened several meetings and soon decided that in a month, the troops would set out to break through the Zhong Family Fortress and annihilate the entire clan.

The decision was made, and everyone in Tianmu Sea was excited. After all, this is the glory of Tianmu Sea. Everyone felt proud, realizing they could use this opportunity to make a name for themselves. After this battle, which family would dare to act frivolously in Tianmu Sea?

Many who have entered Tianmu Sea are desperate due to outside pressure. Thus, they have no love for the Four Countries but only a sense of belonging and honor towards Tianmu Sea. To counter the Four Great Royal Clans, many samurai naturally raised their hands, eagerly preparing for battle.

...

People on Skull Island are also excited, especially the youth of Skeleton Sect and the Wu Family, who are ceaselessly cheering.

The Zhong Family is Skeleton Sect’s great enemy, and with the imminent destruction of that clan, how could they not be pleased? More importantly, the people of Skeleton Sect are soon to be relocated to Moon Mist Island under Ding Fan’s arrangements.

Moon Mist Island is a Level Four Island. Though Skeleton Sect is still weak and doesn’t meet the standards of a Fourth Grade power, it is a four-tier island. With such an island, it won’t be long before Skeleton Sect rises.

Level Four Power!

Even at its strongest, Skeleton Sect was merely a Third Grade power. Now, the possibility of becoming a Fourth Grade power is enough to drive many Skeleton Sect youth mad with excitement.

Ding Fan did not immediately move the island’s people to Moon Mist Island but first buried the fallen one by one on Jingshan.

Regarding their deaths, Ding Fan felt responsible; he woke up too late, otherwise, they wouldn’t have perished.

He asked Wu Qingxia to bring forth a large sum of Black Obsidian as compensation for the families of the deceased, and the injured were also given much Black Obsidian.

Though it was late at night, Ding Fan showed no signs of fatigue or sleep. He was amazed that he hadn’t reached his weakened phase from using the Inherited skill.

After his breakthrough, he seemed able to sustain the Sirius inheritance much longer, estimating he could last at least a day.

He didn’t go to Baisheng Island but planned to spend the night on Jingshan. Mu Gaosou was inside recuperating, with a broken hand that would need nearly twenty days to fully heal.

Crimson Flame sat cross-legged in the pavilion; Ding Fan was in a daze, digesting the events of the past few days. He recalled the extraordinary changes he made when he broke through the Third Level of the Divine Realm.

The Beast Bone Pendant that Xia Mengqing gave him was gone, and there was a mysterious wolf pattern in his soul. Was this good or bad?

Currently, his health was excellent, with True Yuan continuously condensing within him, and his soul growing stable. Everything seemed without issue.

The presence of Crimson Flame granted him a sense of security, rendering everything a non-issue. In three months, once Crimson Flame settled its matters, it could head to the Central Plains seeking Sirius Clan, or Tongzhou to find Xia Mengqing.

Though Master Daozhen mounted a far-reaching expedition against the Zhong Family Fortress, Ding Fan didn’t care. As soon as he thought of the Zhong Family’s demise, his hatred dissipated.

He stood at the mountain peak contemplating for half an hour, reflecting thoroughly on the past.

He no longer desired to cause trouble for the Zhong Family, nor meddle with Tianmu Sea affairs. After helping Skeleton Sect take Moon Mist Island and stabilizing it, he planned to leave Tianmu Sea in three months to the Central Plains to find Sirius Clan.

After standing for a while, Ding Fan still didn’t feel tired and returned to Jingshan Castle to train, finally falling into a deep sleep at dawn.

When the new day dawned, Ding Fan led Crimson Flame, Wu Qingxia, the Second Elder, and others, commanding over ten Second Level Divine Realm samurais, heading towards Moon Mist Island in chariots. Ding Fan instructed Mu Gaosou to guard Skull Island and continue recuperating while he prepared to take Moon Mist Island.

A day had passed, so those who needed to leave probably had done so. Those remaining either wished to die with the city or were inclined to surrender to Ding Fan.

As soon as Ding Fan set foot on Moon Mist Island, news of his arrival spread to Yuexia City. The entire city’s dozen or so families suddenly became tense, and many clan leaders personally accompanied elders to the city gate, awaiting the arrival of the new city lord, Ding Fan.
