Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074

Ding Fan arrived at Yanshan using Sword Control.

Due to his concerns for Zhou Ruoran, Ye Ningbing, and Gusu Qingwen, he didn't waste much time along the way.

Since Huang Can had previously given Ding Fan the address of Yanshan, it didn't take him much effort to find it.

On Yanshan, there is a Taoist temple, located within Yanshan, surrounded by toxic miasma, making it very difficult for ordinary people to reach this place.

After passing through the miasma, Ding Fan arrived in front of the Taoist temple.

The temple, evidently old and abandoned for countless years, had its front gate missing and overgrown with weeds inside, appearing extremely desolate.

Ding Fan extended his Divine Sense, quickly probing the entire temple inside and out.

The temple was quite ordinary, but to Ding Fan's surprise, there was a cave behind the temple.

At the cave, Ding Fan sensed a familiar aura.

The aura left Ding Fan astonished, for it was the distinct presence of a teleportation array he had often encountered in the Cultivation World.

Just as Ding Fan was wondering why there was a teleportation array here, a wind blade unexpectedly slashed toward him without warning.

Even with Ding Fan's formidable Divine Sense and his extraordinary agility, he barely avoided a fatal encounter.

Boom... ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩

Ding Fan dodged, and the wind blade proceeded to cleave a giant tree behind him.

The tree collapsed with a crash, bringing down a section of the temple's brick wall.

After the wind blade passed, a voice was heard not far from Ding Fan.

The newcomer evidently had not expected Ding Fan to have dodged the blade so easily.

Ding Fan's expression was calm as he glanced at the person standing not far away, dressed in black with a straw hat on his head.

Though Ding Fan couldn't see the person's face clearly, he sensed from the person's aura that he was a cultivator.

There aren't many cultivators on Earth, and even fewer have a grudge against Ding Fan.

"Are you Feng Qianxing?"

"Are you Ding Fan?" The person didn't answer Ding Fan's question but responded with a question of his own.

Although the person did not answer, Ding Fan had already confirmed the person's identity. His cultivation level was at the mid-stage of Fetal Breath Stage. If not for discovering the Golden Core Heritage under the sea, Ding Fan would not have been able to contend against him.

However, the situation was different now. Ding Fan was already at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, fully capable of defeating his opponent.

"Where is my wife?" Ding Fan asked calmly.

Feng Qianxing, upon hearing the question, confirmed Ding Fan's identity. "After being missing for two years, I initially thought you were hiding from me out of fear..."

"Where is my wife?" Ding Fan repeated with increased intensity.

"It seems you do indeed care about them, but it's a pity that you should worry about yourself now!"

Before Feng Qianxing finished speaking, another wind blade came slashing over swiftly and fiercely, much more powerful than the previous one. Before Feng Qianxing realized it, his right leg was already severed cleanly.

"How... how can this be?"

Unable to stand, Feng Qianxing fell to the ground with a thud, his face turning pale as snow.

Feng Qianxing had never taken Ding Fan seriously. Two years ago, his subordinates had given him Ding Fan's information, and back then, Ding Fan's cultivation was merely at the Late Golden Core Stage.

When Ding Fan arrived today, he carried a magic artifact that concealed his cultivation level, so Feng Qianxing couldn't perceive it. However, he assumed Ding Fan's cultivation was at most at the early stage of the Fetal Breath Stage.

It's well-known that advancing one level beyond the Golden Core Stage is incredibly difficult. Reaching the Nascent Soul Early Stage would be considered an extraordinary talent for Ding Fan.

Yet, what Feng Qianxing never expected was that Ding Fan's cultivation had reached such an awe-inspiring level.

Under Ding Fan's hand, Feng Qianxing realized he had no opportunity to retaliate.

Initially, Feng Qianxing thought he would toy with Ding Fan like a cat playing with a mouse, but ultimately he understood that, in Ding Fan's presence, he was the mouse and Ding Fan the cat.

"I don't have much patience. Where is my wife?" Ding Fan's tone was flat, but his demeanor was filled with killing intent.

At this time, a surge of murderous aura emanated, causing Feng Qianxing to shiver uncontrollably as if it had taken on a palpable form.

Feng Qianxing felt that Ding Fan before him was not human but more like a beast.

While Feng Qianxing was pondering, Ding Fan showed no mercy, sending another wind blade slashing over.

When Feng Qianxing looked down again, he saw that his other leg had also been severed by Ding Fan.

After all, Feng Qianxing was a cultivator from the Cultivation World and understood their ways.

The Cultivation World is a brutal place where human life is of little value; killing someone is not much different from squashing an ant.

"I'll tell you... your wife and them... they have already gone to the Cultivation World..."

Upon hearing these words, Ding Fan's brows furrowed deeply.

The Cultivation World is indeed a place where the strong prey upon the weak. Although Zhou Ruoran and Gusu Qingwen have practiced cultivation, their level is utterly inadequate for survival in the Cultivation World.

At this moment, there's no need to mention that Ye Ningbing has no cultivation at all.

"What's going on? Speak!"

Ding Fan said with a very cold tone.

By now, how could Feng Qianxing dare to have the slightest concealment?

"Two years ago, after the incident on Serpent Island, you injured several of my top experts, and I've been thinking about seeking revenge ever since. But even after two years, I couldn't find any trace of you. Later, I thought you might be hiding intentionally because of your fear of me. So, I considered bringing your most beloved people to Yanshan..."

Feng Qianxing continued to speak.

At the time, through some investigation, Feng Qianxing quickly found out about three women with very deep ties to Ding Fan. One was Ye Ningbing, whose family declined for him, another was Ding Fan's companion in the Immortal Realm, Gusu Qingwen, and the last was Ding Fan's reverse scale, Zhou Ruoran, who had always been by his side.

Feng Qianxing thought that as long as he brought these three people to Yanshan, Ding Fan would surely come looking for him as soon as he heard the news.

Feng Qianxing was confident that as long as Ding Fan sought him out, he could decisively kill Ding Fan.

But now, Feng Qianxing realized how naive his thought was at the time, as if he was stupidly bringing a fierce tiger to his side.

Why should I have provoked him when there was no need?

After listening to Feng Qianxing's reasoning, Ding Fan frowned. "But why did they go to the Cultivation World?"

"After they arrived in Yanshan, I captured them all... But rest assured, I never mistreated them, always providing good food and drink..."

"Get to the point." Ding Fan said.

Feng Qianxing hurriedly agreed, saying, "But after waiting here with these three women for more than three months without seeing you come, I even went to the Secular World to inquire about you, but there was not a trace of you. After I returned, I initially intended to kill your wife and then leave directly.

However, later I felt that killing them directly was a bit of a waste, and thought of using them for an experiment. There is a Teleportation Array in the back mountain, and I thought of using them to test whether it works. If it indeed connects two worlds, I planned to visit the Cultivation World.

So, I deceived them, saying that you had already gone to the Cultivation World. Upon hearing this, all three wanted to go to the Cultivation World to find you... They are indeed quite loyal to you..."

"How do you know they reached the Cultivation World?" Ding Fan asked.

"I still remember a coordinate for the Cultivation World. After I set the coordinate and placed the Spirit Stones, I activated it directly. At that time, the Teleportation Array had no fluctuation, indicating a successful transmission." Feng Qianxing said.

Ding Fan didn't think Feng Qianxing was lying to him.

Typically, as long as the Teleportation Array has a coordinate, it can transmit. If it successfully transmits, there would be no ripples, but if it fails, there would be violent fluctuations.

Thinking of these four words, Ding Fan's heart jumped to his throat.

What kind of world is that? It is a world where the weak are prey to the strong. In such a place, even someone like him is surrounded by dangers, let alone people like Zhou Ruoran.

"How long have they been gone?" Ding Fan took a deep breath, his gaze turning firm.

Having lived two lives, Ding Fan was no longer someone who walked the world alone. He had family, friends, and attachments.

His wives could go to the Cultivation World to find him without hesitation, so he must go to the Cultivation World to rescue them.

"Take me to the Teleportation Array." Ding Fan said to Feng Qianxing.

Immediately, Ding Fan grabbed Feng Qianxing, and the two quickly arrived beside the Teleportation Array.

Ding Fan just used his Divine Sense to investigate briefly and knew that this place had indeed used the Teleportation Array not long ago.

"Bring out the coordinates for the Cultivation World for me." Ding Fan said.

Feng Qianxing dared not waste any words and quickly laid out the coordinates for the Cultivation World.

After thinking for a moment, Ding Fan released Duorou and Zizai.

Now, both spiritual beasts had reached Spiritual Communication. They could already talk and had comprehended a lot.

Ding Fan was planning to go to the Cultivation World without taking these two spiritual beasts with him.

"Zizai, if any problem arises when I enter the Teleportation Array, just kill the person in front of you." Ding Fan said.

The previous conversation between the two had been overheard by Zizai and Duorou, and naturally, they had nothing to say. Zizai nodded in agreement.

At this time, Ding Fan took out all of the Spirit Stones he carried. However, these Spirit Stones were insufficient.

Two years ago, before practicing cultivation at the seabed, Ding Fan had nearly exhausted all his Spirit Stones and pills.

Now, Ding Fan had very few Spirit Stones with him, and Feng Qianxing was even worse off, having nothing at all.

Ding Fan didn't want to delay any longer. If he waited to gather enough Spirit Stones and came back, there was no telling how long it would take.

Ding Fan pondered for a moment, then took out his Pill Furnace, Nine Profound Iron, and Emperor Pit Bronze Mirror from his storage ring, placing them one by one on the array's core.

Feng Qianxing, at the side, was dumbfounded. Ding Fan was actually using these treasures as ordinary Spirit Stones.

This is simply too wasteful...

But Ding Fan's eyes were filled with determination. No matter what, he had to go to the Cultivation World... There, he had to bring Zhou Ruoran and the others back.

"Zizai, Duorou, help me take good care of Yongfan Island and Qin Manshu..."

The time was too tight at this moment, and Ding Fan didn't have time to say goodbye to Qin Manshu...

Currently, Zizai and Duorou are forces to be reckoned with in this world. With their care, Ding Fan truly had nothing to worry about.

Immediately, Ding Fan activated the array core.

The Teleportation Array activated, and then Ding Fan disappeared in front of everyone...
