Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058

The Eight Protector was already dumbfounded. The Loyal Heart Gu, which was extremely difficult to deal with, was completely removed by Ding Fan in just a few seconds.

Although he had been surprised by Ding Fan many times before, this time the Eight Protector was once again utterly shocked.

After forcing out the Gu Insects from those two people, Ding Fan used the same method to force out the Gu Insects from the Eight Protector's body.

"How many people from the Ghost Sect have come this time, and what is your purpose for coming?" Ding Fan asked.

"This time, our Ghost Sect has come in full force." At this point, the two subordinates beside the Eight Protector had nothing left unsaid.

The Loyal Heart Gu on their bodies had been expelled, and now to save their lives, they were willing to say anything.

Full force mobilization?

Ding Fan was taken aback.

It must be known that even during the battle at Chessboard Mountain, the Ghost Sect hadn't sent so many people. Now, with the Immortal Sect's passage cleared and the Spirit Sect allied with the Immortal Sect, the Ghost Sect has come in full force.

Ding Fan thought there was something unusual about this.

"Tell me everything you know."

"Ever since our Ghost Sect Master was killed, we decided on revenge, so the Great Protectors said to come with full force to fight to the death with the Hidden Sect Alliance."

Hearing this, Ding Fan was somewhat stunned. "Are you saying, the Ghost Sect Master was killed?" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽

The Eight Protector sneered hearing Ding Fan's disbelief. "The Ghost Sect Master was killed, who else but you would have orchestrated that? Now you're acting as if you're innocent."

After hearing the Eight Protector's words, Ding Fan began to believe it. It seems the Ghost Sect Master was indeed slain.

However, Ding Fan sensed there was something fishy about the matter.

Although Ding Fan had never seen the Ghost Sect Master, he had some understanding based on the several actions taken by the opponent.

Firstly, the Ghost Sect blocked the spatial passage of the Immortal Sect.

It must be known that this requires someone with great intellect and strategy to accomplish.

The Immortal Sect, after all, is one of the Three Great Inner Hidden Sects — the fact that the Ghost Sect Master could achieve this shows his vision and strategy.

Later, the Ghost Sect Master continuously challenged the Spirit Sect. If it weren't for Ding Fan's timely intervention, the Spirit Sect would have been blocked by the Ghost Sect as well.

The whole world would have belonged to the Ghost Sect.

For such a capable Ghost Sect Master to be killed so easily, Ding Fan believed neither the Spirit Sect nor the Immortal Sect would act rashly.

If such a significant event was to happen, they would surely inform Ding Fan.

Then, apart from the Spirit Sect and the Immortal Sect, who in the world could have the capability to kill the Ghost Sect Master?

Isn't it likely there's something fishy here?

"Since you seek revenge, do you have any plans?" Ding Fan continued to ask.

"I'll tell, I'll tell..." At this moment, one of the Ghost Sect warriors crawled forward on his knees.

However, before he could approach Ding Fan, the Eight Protector struck out with a palm from the side.

That person was directly knocked down to the ground by the Eight Protector.

"Spineless!" The Eight Protector said coldly.

The other warrior, seeing the Eight Protector still so formidable, didn't dare to speak for a moment.

Swish... Ding Fan flicked his hand, and two Silver Needles shot out directly.

The Silver Needles struck the acupoints of the Eight Protector. Immediately, the Eight Protector couldn't move at all.

"I'm not sparing you because I'm merciful, so don't test my limits." Ding Fan said coldly to the Eight Protector.

Ding Fan's eyes were filled with murderous intent at this moment.

The Eight Protector felt this murderous intent in Ding Fan's eyes and ceased to speak. In fact, even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't because his mute acupoint was sealed by Ding Fan.

Ding Fan looked again at the kneeling Ghost Sect warrior beside him.

The person understood and continued, "The Ghost Sect's plan this time is to assassinate you at all costs."

Ding Fan suddenly understood why these people captured Cheng Bufan and made him give the Soul Controlling Pill to him.

"Where are the other Ghost Sect people?" Ding Fan asked calmly.

"I... I..." The Ghost Sect warrior hesitated, but only for a moment before deciding. After all, compared to his own life, others' lives weren't as important.

"The others are on an island near Serpent Island called Fish Island." The person answered directly.

Ding Fan's expression immediately turned somber.

The main focus of this Hidden Sect Assembly was not the Ghost Sect. At this time, the Sea Sect Leader and those who killed the Li Family in Black Mountain were all cultivators.

And now, the Ghost Sect Master is also dead.

Although the Ghost Sect Master's death is considered a removal of a great evil for the Hidden Sect, with the Ghost Sect Master dead, the situation is not exactly favorable.

First, with the Ghost Sect Master dead, the Ghost Sect disciples will surely go mad seeking revenge.

At this moment, everyone was suspicious that the Immortal Sect had intervened to kill people from the Sea Sect and the Li Family of Black Mountain. There was also a hint of favoritism towards the Spirit Sect. And then, the master of the Ghost Sect was killed.

Faintly, Ding Fan felt that all these events seemed as if someone was manipulating them from behind the scenes.

"You just mentioned that Luo Mei has already taken the Quanzhen Sect to join the Ghost Sect. Is this true?" Cheng Bufan stood up and asked as Ding Fan was pondering.

Ding Fan really understood Cheng Bufan's emotions at this moment.

After all, Cheng Bufan had grown up in the Quanzhen Xuanmen since childhood, and he always had feelings for his junior sister, Luo Mei.

Therefore, Cheng Bufan was very concerned about Luo Mei and the Quanzhen Xuanmen.

"The Quanzhen Xuanmen has indeed joined the Ghost Sect..."

"Did you force them to join?" Cheng Bufan's face was grave, and he said somewhat angrily.

"No, no..." The Ghost Sect disciple kneeling on the ground hurriedly waved his hand and said. "No, Luo Mei was the one who voluntarily led the Quanzhen Xuanmen to join the Ghost Sect."

At this moment, Cheng Bufan frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking for a while.

"Where are the people of the Quanzhen Xuanmen now?" Ding Fan asked.

"The people of the Quanzhen Xuanmen are now at a farm in the eastern suburbs. Recently, a very powerful figure has joined the Quanzhen Xuanmen. Their cultivation is strong; at that time, even two protectors from our sect were no match for them."

The two protectors of the Ghost Sect were no match for the opponent?

Ding Fan's eyes lit up.

The protectors of the Ghost Sect all have cultivation above the Profound Level, and there aren't many who can withstand the attacks of two Mysterious Level Experts. For a moment, Ding Fan felt that there might be many issues within.

At this moment, Ding Fan reached out to the Eight Protectors from a distance.

Soon, the silver needle stuck in the Eight Protectors appeared directly in Ding Fan's hand.

Then Ding Fan took out a third-grade pill from the storage ring and threw it to the Eight Protectors.

The Eight Protectors were stunned, not understanding why Ding Fan would give them a pill at this moment.

Ding Fan didn't care about their surprise; he directly said, "I believe you should know that after knowing the whereabouts of the Ghost Sect warriors, I can arrange for the Spirit Sect to join forces with the Immortal Sect to eradicate the Ghost Sect. And you should also be aware that we absolutely have this strength."

The Eight Protectors glanced at Ding Fan.

The Eight Protectors indeed didn't doubt.

The Ghost Sect, Immortal Sect, and Spirit Sect are the Three Great Inner Hidden Sects. Now that the Immortal Sect and the Spirit Sect have united, and they know the location of the Ghost Sect, eradicating the Ghost Sect is indeed not a difficult task.

The Eight Protectors couldn't understand why Ding Fan wanted to say this at this moment.

Ding Fan continued, "Now you can take your subordinates back, have your people quickly return to the location of your Ghost Sect sect. I can responsibly tell you that the person who killed the Ghost Sect Master is definitely not from our Hidden Sect Alliance. You should also understand that, given my current cultivation as Ding Fan and our alliance's current momentum, if we had done it, we would definitely not try to hide it."

The Eight Protectors carefully pondered Ding Fan's words, feeling that what Ding Fan said made a lot of sense.

If they really killed the Ghost Sect Master, they wouldn't cover it up.

Ding Fan said, "I haven't figured out everything yet, but I can tell you one thing: someone wants your Ghost Sect and the Hidden Sects of the world to clash hard, and someone wants to disrupt the Hidden Sects of the world. That way, someone will profit from it..."

The Eight Protectors glanced at Ding Fan. "Someone? Are you saying there's a force bigger than the Ghost Sect and the Immortal Spirit Sect?"

Ding Fan didn't say more to the Eight Protectors. "What you need to do now is take your people back to the Ghost Sect's gate. Deliver my words."

The Eight Protectors looked at Ding Fan, then nodded.

Ding Fan no longer paid attention to the Eight Protectors behind him. He directly walked over to Cheng Bufan.

Although Cheng Bufan had previously suffered serious injuries, after swallowing a sixth-grade pill from Ding Fan, his condition had improved considerably now.

"Big brother, let's go."

Cheng Bufan nodded, and then he and Ding Fan walked out of the warehouse together.

The Eight Protectors watched the distant figures of Ding Fan and the others, frowning tightly for a moment, as if lost in thought.

"Eight Protectors... what should we do now?" One of his subordinates came over and asked timidly.

"Let's go to Fish Island..." The Eight Protectors said lightly. "Then return to the sect."

After coming out of the warehouse, Ding Fan and Cheng Bufan did not choose to return to the hotel. Instead, they directly went to the location of the Quanzhen Xuanmen.

The Ghost Sect disciple had already revealed the location where the Quanzhen Xuanmen had settled, so finding the people of Quanzhen Xuanmen was not really a difficult task.

Ding Fan was so eager to find the Quanzhen Xuanmen, firstly to help Cheng Bufan.

Now that Cheng Bufan knew that the Quanzhen Xuanmen had joined the Ghost Sect, he was certainly very anxious.

The second reason is that Ding Fan wanted to see what kind of person could single-handedly oppose two Ghost Sect protectors.

At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and Ding Fan flew directly towards the eastern suburbs of Liyi City with Cheng Bufan using sword control. The two of them arrived at the eastern suburbs in no time.

According to the information provided by the Ghost Sect disciple, they quickly found where the Quanzhen Xuanmen was staying.

The Quanzhen Xuanmen had occupied a farm, and the periphery of the farm was arranged with alert formations and defensive arrays. The formations were laid out very skillfully and meticulously.

Even Ding Fan couldn't easily enter at this point.

After observing the formation, Ding Fan felt even more that the mysterious figure of the Quanzhen Xuanmen was extraordinary.
