Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025

Ding Fan never expected his luck to be so extraordinary, actually being able to obtain this treasure.

When luck comes to you, it really can't be stopped.

Gusu Qingwen, although she didn't know what treasure Ding Fan had acquired, seeing Ding Fan's happy expression, she could guess that it was a very remarkable treasure.

However, Gusu Qingwen wasn't envious of Ding Fan getting the treasure. If it weren't for Ding Fan, she wouldn't have come here in the first place, let alone gotten that treasure-seeking spiritual beast, Xiao Bai.

With Xiao Bai, it's like having a Magical Treasure to find other treasures in the future.

This treasure-seeking spiritual beast, true to its name, can find treasure if there's any nearby - who in the world doesn't dream of obtaining such a treasure?

So, at this moment, Gusu Qingwen felt deeply satisfied upon obtaining the treasure-seeking spiritual beast; as for the crimson stone, she had no interest in it at all.

Gusu Qingwen also didn't understand artifact crafting, so even if the crimson stone was given to her, it wouldn't be of any use.

The two of them, within the depths of this cavern, searched around again and found another Spirit Stone Vein.

Ding Fan and Gusu Qingwen both took some stones from it.

If others had found a Spirit Stone Vein, they would be overjoyed; but for Ding Fan and Gusu Qingwen, it was nothing special.

Knowing that the rewards from this swamp trip were plentiful, whether it's the treasure-seeking spiritual beast or Ding Fan's crimson stone, they far surpassed the value of the Spirit Stone Vein.

After gathering their finds, they promptly made their way out from the underground space.

Outside, there was still a raging storm, thunder and lightning, and Ding Fan relied on the method he used before, setting up a Lightning Drawing Formation along the way.

Using this method, it didn't take much time for them to escape the swamp.

"Let's see where you two can escape to?" As Ding Fan and Gusu Qingwen emerged from the swamp, a voice suddenly rang out beside them.

The voice was extremely annoying; Ding Fan didn't even need to look to know who it was.

If it wasn't Nan Gongling, whom he had beaten up terribly before, who else could it be?

Ding Fan and Gusu Qingwen looked towards the source of the voice, and on the swamp's edge stood over a dozen Ancient Martial Warriors.

Apparently, these were the people Nan Gongling had summoned.

Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to probe their cultivation levels; they were quite impressive, with over ten people, including two Mysterious Level Warriors, and the rest of the Heavenly Level Warriors were mostly above the fifth grade.

"Doesn't your face hurt anymore?" Ding Fan said coldly towards Nan Gongling.

Nan Gongling's cheeks turned red. How could he not know what Ding Fan meant? Previously, wasn't he just slapped hard in the face by Ding Fan?

"Kid, if you want to leave alive, break both your arms, and I might mercifully allow you to leave; otherwise, I'll have you dismembered into eight pieces and fed to the dogs!" Nan Gongling said through gritted teeth.

"Nan Gongling, you'd better get away from me. Don't say I didn't warn you; he's the leader of the Spirit Sect, and the Alliance Hierarch of the Hidden Sect Alliance - that's not someone you can provoke," Qing Wen said, stepping forward.

Qing Wen revealed Ding Fan's identity now, mainly to make Nan Gongling back off.

However, upon hearing Ding Fan's identity, Nan Gongling didn't get scared; instead, he laughed arrogantly. "Gusu Qingwen, you sure can brag! You think this fool is the leader of the Spirit Sect? The Alliance Hierarch of the Hidden Sect Alliance?"

As Nan Gongling said this, the group he brought along all laughed brazenly as well.

"Gusu Qingwen, you're trying to scare me off? My people from the Hundred Ranks Sect aren't scared so easily," Nan Gongling said.

Nan Gongling clearly remembered that months ago, he had chased Ding Fan and Gusu Qingwen. Read full story at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵

He couldn't believe that those he pursued back then could be the leader of the Spirit Sect, the Alliance Hierarch of the Hidden Sect Alliance!

Qing Wen tried to speak but was interrupted by Nan Gongling's grand gesture.

"Gusu Qingwen, I know you want to save this fool, don't say I didn't give you a chance - if you agree to be my woman now, I might consider cutting off just one of his arms and let him go," Nan Gongling said smugly.

Nan Gongling's brow furrowed tightly. "Nan Gongling, don't go too far."

"I, Nan Gongling, do love pushing things too far! What's it to you? If you don't agree, I'll tell you straight, I'll let this fool die right in front of you," Nan Gongling said harshly.

As Nan Gongling's words were still hanging, a slap sound rang out directly.

Nan Gongling screamed miserably, spitting out a mouthful of blood, spinning in place twice before he managed to stabilize himself.

Seeing this, the group Nan Gongling brought, initially laughing unrestrainedly, all suddenly turned serious.

Among the people Nan Gongling brought, all were Heavenly Level Warriors, with two being Mysterious Level Warriors, yet not one could see how Ding Fan had delivered the slap.

If Ding Fan had used a sword instead of a slap, Nan Gongling would already be dead.

"You... kill him for me!" Nan Gongling pointed at Ding Fan and said viciously.

He brought so many subordinates, yet in the end, got slapped, which practically made him blow his top.

He tried to open his mouth again only to realize he had lost half his teeth.

"Attack!" At this moment, no one knows who yelled.

Suddenly, several figures surged forward from behind Nan Gongling, all rushing towards Ding Fan.

Just when these people had barely started to act, Ding Fan suddenly waved his right hand. Instantly, a surge of Sword Qi swept across, and a bright ray forced everyone who had charged forward to retreat.

At this moment, when everyone looked at Ding Fan, they were all flabbergasted...

In front of Ding Fan, there was actually a deep trench, clearly carved out by the Sword Qi just now...

Everyone was momentarily intimidated by Ding Fan's aura.

The crowd distinctly felt the Sword Qi released by Ding Fan, its presence majestic and extraordinarily sharp.

Secretly, everyone was pondering if that sword strike just now had not hit the ground but had been aimed at them, how confident could they be in dodging it.

At this thought, everyone felt as if there was a blade on their backs. If the longsword had been aimed at them, there was simply no chance they could have avoided it.

"Get lost..." Ding Fan's tone was calm, but the murderous intent was completely undisguised.

The previous sword strike from Ding Fan was meant to scare everyone away.

"What are you all doing? Rush up and kill him!" Standing by, Nan Gongling, furious at seeing everyone intimidated by Ding Fan, shouted angrily.

He had brought along over a dozen powerful individuals to deal with Ding Fan, and yet, they were all intimidated by him, which made him almost lose his mind.

How could so many people still fail to deal with Ding Fan!

"Wait..." At this moment, a loud voice echoed.

After the voice settled, two people directly appeared in front of the crowd.

Seeing the arrival of the two people, everyone hurriedly put away their Magic Artifacts and stood respectfully on either side.

The arrivals were none other than the Immortal Sect leader Shang Jiuzi and Hundred Ranks Sect's Nan Gongba.

Nan Gongling, seeing Nan Gongba, immediately walked over. Finally, he felt he had someone to rely on. With Nan Gongba's cultivation already at the sixth to seventh grade of the Profound Level, in Nan Gongling's view, besides Shang Jiuzi from the Immortal Sect, there was no one else in the Small World who could compete with his father.

"Father, you're finally here! Look at what this idiot has done to me. We were just dealing with him."

Nan Gongba had only one son, Nan Gongling.

From Nan Gongling's perspective, having been beaten into such a miserable state by Ding Fan, his father was certainly capable of helping him teach Ding Fan a harsh lesson.

Unexpectedly, instead of reprimanding Ding Fan, Nan Gongba slapped him. Nan Gongling staggered and spun around twice in place.

"Father…what, what are you doing?" Nan Gongling was directly dumbfounded from the slap.

Since he was young, Nan Gongba rarely laid a hand on him, especially not in front of so many people.

Nan Gongling truly couldn't understand why his father would hit him in front of so many people.

"Ungrateful son, quickly apologize to Alliance Leader Ding!" Nan Gongba's expression was stern.

Alliance Leader Ding?

Listening to this title from his father, Nan Gongling froze on the spot.

Previously, Gusu Qingwen had said that Ding Fan was the leader of the Hidden Sect Alliance. At the time, Nan Gongling thought she was just deceiving him.

But what Nan Gongling hadn't expected was that Ding Fan really was the leader of the Hidden Sect Alliance.

Nan Gongba was the leader of the Hundred Ranks Sect; what his father said couldn't be wrong.

Nan Gongling now felt utterly frustrated.

He had been beaten by Ding Fan to the point of having a pig-headed face; his father came, but instead of helping him, he had to apologize to Ding Fan who had beaten him.

Depressed. Extremely depressed!

Although Nan Gongling felt very upset, he dared not disobey his father's command. He usually feared his father a lot and wouldn't dare defy Nan Gongba's words in front of so many people.

"Alliance Leader Ding…" Nan Gongling walked up to Ding Fan. "I previously offended you in many ways. Please don't take it to heart, Alliance Leader."

At this moment, Nan Gongling's heart was bleeding.

Even if he had tried to act arrogantly before Ding Fan, he hadn't injured Ding Fan in the slightest; instead, he was the one who got beaten…

This pretense certainly didn't go as planned, and he hit an iron plate.

Even though Ding Fan disliked Nan Gongling, at this moment, he couldn't say much, so he simply waved his hand. With this gesture, the matter was considered settled.

Seeing this, the people Nan Gongling brought sighed in relief.

They thanked their luck that the sect leader came early enough; otherwise, if they'd been beaten by Ding Fan, it would have been in vain, even if they were killed by him, it would have been meaningless.

They certainly couldn't expect Nan Gongba to go to war with the Hidden Sect Alliance over a few Martial Artists within his sect being slain.

"Alliance Leader Ding, my pup has offended you earlier. I hope, Alliance Leader, you won't take it to heart." Nan Gongba approached Ding Fan and respectfully saluted with a Martial Artist's gesture.

The crowd from Hundred Ranks Sect looked at each other after seeing this.

If even their sect leader was so respectful, what kind of pretense could they have before Ding Fan...
