Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020
Now Wang Dong was truly dumbfounded. He hadn't imagined that the other party would be so impressive. At this moment, he didn't dare to hide anything and told Ding Fan everything.
Later in the evening, just when Wang Dong had finished drinking and was about to go home, Ma Mingyang called him directly.
Over the phone, Ma Mingyang mentioned that some fool had provoked him, and he requested Wang Dong to help him deal with the person properly.
If Wang Dong could kill the target directly, Ma Mingyang offered a check for five million.
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's eyes lit up.
As the captain of the special police first squad, Wang Dong considered killing someone to be trivial compared to how difficult others might find it.
Even if this person hadn't done anything, it could be reported as an accidental killing.
At most, he would just need to write some reports and face demotion and salary cuts.
In Wang Dong's view, even if he worked until retirement, he wouldn't be able to earn five million. Furthermore, Ma Mingyang promised Wang Dong a vice president position within Mingyang Company once the affair was concluded. After a brief consideration, Wang Dong agreed immediately.
Following the information provided by Ma Mingyang, he quickly arrived at the hotel where Ding Fan and the others stayed.
When Ding Fan showed his officer's ID, Ma Mingyang hesitated for a moment, but it was only a moment of doubt.
The allure of five million and a vice president position was too great.
Therefore, at that moment Wang Dong insisted that Ding Fan's officer ID was fake. However, Wang Dong hadn't anticipated that the other person's energy would far exceed his imagination.
In front of everyone, Ding Fan unexpectedly disappeared instantly. Then subdued him...
Wang Dong was now crying bitterly, lamenting why he couldn't understand that money isn't easy to acquire. Now, forget about five million and the vice presidency at Mingyang Company; he couldn't even keep his current job, and he was facing prison time.
After listening to Wang Dong, Ding Fan realized that Ma Mingyang sent Wang Dong not to kill him.
Ma Mingyang was also a cultivator, and he wasn't a match for Ding Fan, who was at the early stage of the Golden Core Stage. Let alone a mere ordinary person.
Considering this, Ma Mingyang merely wanted to use Wang Dong to stall Ding Fan.
Soon after, the director of Liyi City's police department, along with the deputy mayor, hurried over.
After understanding the situation, they arrested Wang Dong immediately and dispatched police to arrest Ma Mingyang.
Ma Mingyang was involved in hiring a killer, the mastermind behind it all. With things now exposed, he couldn't be allowed to escape.
At this moment, Nie Fengjun led his team to arrest Ma Mingyang.
Ding Fan didn't have high hopes at all. According to his calculations, if Ma Mingyang was able to arrange someone to intercept him, it probably meant he had already fled.
Indeed, when the police raided Ma Mingyang's residence, they couldn't find any trace of him.
After learning about the murder plot, Ma Mingyang's son promptly released a statement via the media. He severed ties with Ma Mingyang, disowned his father, and announced that from now on, Ma Jiahui would inherit Mingyang Company, renaming it to Jia Hui Company...
Whatever happened to the Ma family, Ding Fan didn't care.
Ding Fan was contemplating whether there was a connection between Ma Mingyang and Ming Chen. After all, both were cultivators, and both followed the path of evil cultivation.
Plus, Ding Fan was wondering where these individuals came from.
Previously, during the backstage of the Mount Lu auction, an unknown elderly woman mentioned that her husband, Tian Yu, went to the Cultivation World.
This implies there's a place in this world connected to the Cultivation World.
The unknown elderly woman's husband went to the Cultivation World. Hence, where did these two evil cultivators come from?
Did they come from the Cultivation World, or were they cultivating on Earth?
After a day's stay in Liyi City, Ding Fan directly took Mei Zhi and Li Duoer away.
Now with Ma Mingyang's true intentions exposed, it was impossible for Li Duoer to continue to stay there.
Therefore, Ding Fan planned to keep Li Duoer by his side until matters stabilized, then take her to Yongfan Island.
Sun Qi had established the Hundred Grass Garden on Yongfan Island, where Ye Tianshi was with him now. Ding Fan planned to arrange Li Duoer there as well.
After leaving Liyi City, the three found a car and headed to the coast and then to Serpent Island.
First, Ding Fan wanted to know if the Immortal Sect was behind the attack on the Li Family at Black Mountain. Secondly, Ding Fan still needed to request a Divine Power Herb from the Immortal Sect for Ye Tianshi.
Ye Tianshi's daughter, Linger, was still on the Cold Jade Bed, and with her worsening condition, Ding Fan couldn't ignore her.
Since Ding Fan offered a generous fare, the taxi driver had no objections and drove directly to the coast.
Along the way, nothing else happened.
Upon reaching the coast, Ding Fan directly arranged Mei Zhi and Li Duoer in a small town.
Ding Fan had his considerations, if it was the Immortal Sect that annihilated the Black Mountain Li Family, taking Li Duoer to Serpent Island now would be quite inconvenient.
After settling Mei Zhi and Li Duoer in the seaside town, Ding Fan then controlled his sword and headed towards Serpent Island.
By the time Ding Fan arrived at Serpent Island, it was already nighttime. It was freezing, but extremely quiet.
Ding Fan arrived at the portal to the Immortal Sect, using his divine sense to probe, and indeed the passage to the Immortal Sect had opened. Fresh chapters posted on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Just then, a Wind Blade unexpectedly slashed forward without warning.
The Wind Blade was strong, and Ding Fan couldn't afford any delay. He swiftly dodged to avoid the Wind Blade.
Ding Fan was now a cultivator at the late stage of the Golden Core Stage. There were people around him, yet Ding Fan hadn't detected them before.
Ding Fan directly used his Divine Sense to probe his surroundings. At that moment, a figure quickly fled toward the sea.
How could Ding Fan let this person escape?
Right away, Ding Fan used Sword Control, swiftly chasing after the figure to kill him.
However, to Ding Fan's great surprise, the person's speed was incredibly fast, and upon reaching the sea, the person immediately controlled a sword to flee across the water.
He can also use Sword Control?!
Since being reborn on Earth, Ding Fan had never actually seen a martial artist capable of Sword Control.
For a moment, Ding Fan thought that person must likely be a cultivator.
Until now, Ding Fan had already encountered several cultivators. First, the unnamed old woman at the back of Mount Lu, and then Ming Chen, Ma Mingyang.
If the person who ambushed and escaped just now was also a cultivator, then Ding Fan had encountered four people already.
"Who's there?" At this moment, a sharp shout came from not far away.
Ding Fan swept his Divine Sense over and discovered two martial artists not far behind him.
Judging from their aura, these two should be from the Immortal Sect.
"Spirit Sect Sect Master, Ding Fan, visiting." At this time, Ding Fan did not hide his identity and spoke to the two people.
The two Immortal Sect disciples, upon hearing that it was the Spirit Sect Sect Master, respectfully came to Ding Fan. "Immortal Sect disciple, Ding Qi."
"Immortal Sect disciple, Ding Ming. Greetings to the Spirit Sect Sect Master..."
Just after the two Immortal Sect disciples finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded in the distance.
Ding Fan's expression tightened and he directly scanned with his Divine Sense.
The sound came from a cave at the back of Dragon Island.
The two Immortal Sect disciples also showed serious expressions upon hearing the sound.
"Spirit Sect Sect Master, let us check out what happened first, and we will report back later." Ding Ming and Ding Qi respectfully said to Ding Fan.
Ding Fan nodded. "I'll go with you to take a look."
Ding Fan felt today's events here were truly peculiar.
First, he encountered a cultivator, and now there was a violent explosion at the back mountain, so he felt there must be something unusual going on.
Ding Qi and Ding Ming did not object; they had heard before about the Spirit Sect Sect Master's incredible cultivation. With such a powerful ally as Ding Fan accompanying them, there would be nothing to worry about.
The three of them sped towards the source of the noise.
It didn't take long before they arrived there.
When the three of them reached the cave entrance and saw the scene before them, they were all momentarily stunned.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen corpses strewn everywhere.
The blood on these people was still flowing; it was obvious they had just died.
Ding Fan furrowed his brows. From their attire, they seemed to be ancient martial warriors, so Ding Fan quickly used his Divine Sense to examine the surroundings.
Under Ding Fan's Divine Sense investigation, he discovered more than a dozen people were rushing here quickly.
These people were very fast, apparently having heard the disturbance and rushed over.
"Alliance Leader Ding?!"
In no time, those people arrived. An elder among them immediately recognized Ding Fan.
Ding Fan surveyed the newly arrived people; there were five of them. The elder who spoke to him wasn't a stranger; it was Na Cheng, the sect master of the Inner Hidden Sect's Ming Sect.
That day, at the battle on Chessboard Mountain.
Na Cheng had previously believed the Ghost Sect Master's words, nearly causing a disaster; later recognizing his mistake, he supported Ding Fan as the Hidden Sect Alliance Leader. On the day they defeated the Ghost Sect members, Na Cheng contributed significantly.
Ding Fan didn't expect to meet him here.
The people accompanying Na Cheng, Ding Fan had also met before; they were all sect masters or heads of families of various Hidden Sects.
"The people of the Immortal Sect are too ruthless!"
At this moment, one of the newcomers with a full beard looked at the corpses on the ground and his face turned grave.
Na Cheng glanced at the bodies on the ground, his facial expression also grim.
Ding Fan observed the expressions of these five people and realized they misunderstood the Immortal Sect people.
"Sect Master Na, I arrived here before you. Before we came, all these people were already slaughtered." Ding Fan explained.
The bearded man pondered for a moment, then said, "Alliance Leader Ding, you are the Hidden Sect Alliance Leader; I hope you will stand for justice and not show bias."
