Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2220: Chapter 2255: The Army Sets Out

"Eat me?"

A scene flashed in Ding Fan’s mind, but there wasn’t a hint of fear. Instead, his heart fluttered softly. Indeed, she’s a fairy, and to a young man like him, she’s deadly.

Ding Fan had once flirted with Madam Yan at Daozhen Villa, but she turned the tables on him, making him restless that night. Today, he casually flirted again, only to be left out of control by Madam Yan’s teasing.

He turned his face away, took a deep breath, and banished the image from his mind, trying not to get overly excited.

Of course, he couldn’t sleep with Madam Yan. She’s a venomous widow, and getting involved with her would lead to endless trouble. He simply couldn’t handle this iron lady.

"Hehehe..."

Madam Yan laughed like a victor, thinking that Ding Fan dared to tease her was quite audacious.

"This woman is untouchable!"

Ding Fan kept thinking to himself, if his strength was greater than Madam Yan’s, it wouldn’t matter. But right now, he’s still quite weak. If he plays around with her, he might end up dead in her hands. The Herr Family also has Master Daozhen, and if they are pushed to the edge, both Crimson Flame and he might die in Tianmu Sea.

Ding Fan contemplated for a moment and said, "I’m really afraid you might eat me. Let’s change the condition. How about giving me ten sets of the highest-level martial arts secret scrolls? If you plan to bring inferior ones, just don’t bother."

"Let’s not change it, okay."

Madam Yan gazed at Ding Fan, her eyes seductive, as she extended a jade-like hand to trace circles on the back of Ding Fan’s hand, smilingly saying, "I’m just kidding with you. How could I dare to eat Young Master Ding? Even if I really wanted to, it would be a different kind of eating, one that guarantees it will be unforgettable for the rest of your life."

"Gulp, gulp."

Ding Fan swallowed hard, his body tensed tightly. He felt a slight reaction in his lower abdomen, swiftly moved his hands, and coughed twice, saying to Madam Yan, "Madam, we are discussing serious matters here. Can you keep it serious?"

"Haha~"

Madam Yan laughed openly, her chest heaving, looking like a cat in heat. At this point, Ding Fan didn’t dare to look at her anymore.

"Alright, let’s stop teasing you then!"

Madam Yan tilted her face towards Ding Fan, stopped flirting, and nodded, saying, "Ten sets of high-level martial skills are no problem. I will have my people send them over as soon as possible. If you don’t like them, I can exchange them for you. What’s the last condition?"

Ding Fan felt a bit troubled. He wasn’t lacking in black obsidian, and high-level martial arts secret scrolls couldn’t be bought with just any amount of them. Now that he had them, he really couldn’t think of another condition to ask for.

Since Madam Yan gave him Moon Mist Island, as long as he didn’t die, Madam Yan would protect the Skeleton Sect, so he had no worries.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let’s reserve this last condition for now. Don’t worry, Madam, the past is the past. I have always been broad-minded. As long as you sincerely wish to be friends with me, I will become a friend of the Daozhen Family. Do you get what I’m saying?"

"Young Master Ding is really broad-minded, befitting your status as an heir of the Sirius Clan."

Madam Yan nodded and sighed softly, "In fact, that girl Ningshuang likes you. It shows you have good character, as I was confused. Though Ningshuang has a gentle appearance, she holds pride in her heart. She looks down on any young master in Tianmu Sea. The fact that she supports you indicates you’re indeed excellent."

Ding Fan just smiled at her but didn’t respond.

Some things, once cracked, cannot be mended afterwards. Madam Yan is a cold-blooded woman. No matter what she says or does to mend things now, he can never regard her as a friend again.

Madam Yan noticed the look on Ding Fan’s face and sighed inwardly, knowing it was irreparable. The only fortunate thing was that this time Herr Ningshuang stood by Ding Fan’s side, and in the end, Herr Wanzhan also allowed Herr Ningshuang to follow her to Skull Island, vocally claiming that if Ding Fan was killed, she would hate her forever.

She knew that as long as Herr Ningshuang was there, Ding Fan wouldn’t hold a grudge against the Herr Family. But how to establish a good relationship with Ding Fan, this inheritance disciple of the Sirius Clan, to benefit the Daozhen Family in the future, requires slow and careful planning.

Such things cannot be accomplished in a short time. With war looming, Madam Yan had no time to stay long. She stood up and said, "Alright then, Young Master Ding, I will head back now... If you have time, you can visit Daozhen Villa. My boudoir is now completely open for you; you can come in whenever you want, hehe..."

Madam Yan left behind a string of wanton laughter. Ding Fan watched her snake-like waist, rounded and curvy, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, inwardly sighing: What a fairy, this woman is truly a fairy.

After Madam Yan left, Ding Fan still did not see her off.

This left Wu Qingxia and others speechless, and many disciples of the Skeleton Sect were even more terrified, fearing that once angered, Madam Yan would change the master of Yuexia City overnight.

Ding Fan didn’t care, he continued to focus on refining diligently. All sorts of powers provided him with many spirit pills and a lot of spiritual materials, which he had been refining recently to further stabilize his realm.

As time passed, the stakes in Tianmu Sea became increasingly heated, with armies about to go on an expedition. Many people began placing bets on how many days it would take to defeat Zhong Family Fortress, whether the Four Great Royal Clans would intervene, and how many experts from the Zhong Family could escape.

The battle roster quietly spread out. Master Daozhen, Herr Wanzhang, and Herr Qianjun all went to battle, while Madam Yan stayed guard at Daozhen Villa.

Except for Ding Fan’s Skull Island, all other Fourth Grade forces across Tianmu Sea would join the expedition, including sixteen Fifth Level experts of the Divine Realm, over a hundred Fourth Level experts, and nearly ten thousand Third Level experts of the Divine Realm.

This time, the expedition’s lowest realm is the Third Level of the Divine Realm. A large number of experts from the entire Tianmu Sea have emerged. Master Daozhen is preparing for a spectacular battle to crush the Zhong Family and awe the Northern Desolation of the Divine Realm.

Neither Herr Ningshuang nor Herr Rufeng qualified to go out; they have been imprisoned by Madam Yan for half a year. Recently, Master Daozhen has not paid attention to these two girls, requiring them to reflect well.

A few days later, Ding Fan secretly went to Baisheng Island with Mu Gaosou.

This island is already classified as forbidden by Ding Fan, with people specially dispatched to protect it. Within the influence range of Moon Mist Island, who dares to offend Ding Fan? And who dares to approach Skull Island?

He had Mu Gaosou guard the volcano, while Ding Fan descended into that otherworld, intending to see Ye Li and others’ progress.

Ye Li and the others were all in closed-door training. Ding Fan met Ye Xiaoxi and an elder from the Ye Family, asked about some situations there, and felt very satisfied. At the current pace, in just over a month, Ye Li and others will all exit their seclusion. If nothing goes wrong, all five will successfully break through to the Sixth Level of the Divine Realm.

Ding Fan didn’t stay inside for long. After taking a look around, he went back outside. Mu Gaosou felt nothing amiss outside; Crimson Flame hadn’t followed, and Mu Gaosou didn’t sense any Divine Sense probing here.

It’s not that Ding Fan doesn’t trust Crimson Flame; he just feels it’s better to be cautious. The fewer people know about the existence of the Ye Family and Meng Family, the safer they will be.

Ding Fan returned to Moon Mist Island and asked Wu Qingxia about some situations, receiving her affirmation that Crimson Flame hadn’t left even a single step, remaining in the backyard cultivating.

When he was about to continue his cultivation, a piece of news shocked him, not just Ding Fan and his allies, but the entire Tianmu Sea was shaken.

From last night till now, all Scout Cavalry from the Herr Family, lurking outside the Zhong Family Fortress, vanished into thin air. Then, the scouts disappeared throughout the area; in just one day and night, the Daozhen Family lost all information regarding the Zhong Family Fortress.

This indicates the Zhong Family preemptively started the battle, removing all the nails the Herr Family had planted within a day, not leaving a single one behind.

Half a day later, Master Daozhen emerged from the Daozhen Villa, roaring his anger across the entire Northern Desolation of the Divine Realm — the Tianmu Sea officially begins its expedition against the Zhong Family Fortress, vowing not to rest until the Zhong Family is eradicated.

All the preparations for war were long ready, poised to commence at any moment.

Under Master Daozhen’s command, countless samurai were dispatched to Baihe Island. Baihe Island is very close to the cliff of Wolf Fall Cliff, which directly faces the Divine Kingdom, poised to land in Shenwu Country immediately.

In fact, Moon Mist Island is closer to Shenwu Country, but Madam Yan knew that Ding Fan had just taken over and many matters were unfinished, thus not setting the assembly point at Yuexia City.

On the other side of Baihe Island, many warships were ready. After the samurai arrived through the Teleportation Array, they immediately boarded the ships to await orders.

This battle involves only ten thousand people from Tianmu Sea, all of whom are above the Third Level of the Divine Realm. Nearly seventy percent of the experts from Tianmu Sea are involved. Master Daozhen’s lifespan is not long; this is likely his last war, and the Herr Family places great importance on it, ensuring no mistakes occur.

Once the ten thousand gathered, a dozen super airships flew over from Baihe City, with Herr Wanzhan standing on the deck of the first airship among a group of people.

He looked down at the dense army, starting to loudly deliver the pre-war mobilization: "The Zhong Family has torn up the agreement, invaded our Tianmu Sea, and killed our Herr Family’s experts. The clan leader orders blood debts must be repaid; the dignity of Tianmu Sea cannot be insulted. This expedition against the Zhong Family Fortress will not end until the Zhong Family is eradicated, and we shall not return to Tianmu Sea!"

"Not eradicating the Zhong Family, we vow not to return!"

Below, over ten thousand roared in unison, their voices thunderous, reverberating through the entire space, the sea water endlessly rippling due to the vibration.

"Depart!"

An ancient voice came from the first super airship. The voice was very calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuations, yet countless people, upon hearing it, felt a peculiar magical power, instantly making their blood boil.

Master Daozhen!

The supreme strongman of Tianmu Sea, the undefeated myth who guarded Tianmu Sea for over two thousand years. Hearing his voice, many were so excited they nearly knelt, feeling honored to accompany Tianmu Sea’s War God on this expedition.

"Depart!"

With a roar, over a thousand warships raised giant waves. One after another, samurai stood on the decks, fiercely crisscrossing the sky. A dozen super airships, like giant beasts, slowly followed in the sky, a scene stirring excitement and pulsing blood.

Madam Yan waved gently, sending off with a group of people, watching those airships and warships disappear over the horizon. Madam Yan softly waved her hand and said, "Let’s go back!"

After teleporting back to Daozhen Villa, Madam Yan immediately got busy. This time, she was not only responsible for Daozhen Villa’s safety but also for gathering intelligence from all sides and responsible for the army’s logistical and material supplies.

When she returned to Daozhen Villa, her eyebrows were furrowed, never relaxing. Although things appeared smooth on the surface, Master Daozhen’s martial might was formidable, having once defeated four clan leaders of the Great Royals alone, injuring two. This time, if the Four Great Royal Clans don’t want to fight to the death, they certainly won’t dare to act recklessly.

However, Madam Yan always felt a bit anxious deep down, something bothering her, but she couldn’t figure out what the problem was?

On the open-air tower, Madam Yan handled some affairs, thought for a moment, and waved to her subordinates, saying, "Let Miss Ningshuang and Miss Rufeng out. I want Miss Ningshuang to assist me with some matters."

Herr Ningshuang is young, but considerate, intelligent, and resourceful, very much like Madam Yan in her younger days. Madam Yan has always wanted to train her. This military affair indeed provided a chance, and with the negotiations with Ding Fan going smoothly on the other side, Madam Yan’s anger dissipated.
