Chapter 723: Chapter 723

Ding Fan's eyes lit up after hearing Duorou's words.

Spiritual Pets often have some unique perception abilities, just like now. Although his own Divine Sense was blocked, the Spiritual Pets still had their ways to investigate the situation here.

"Master, at the lower right corner of the stone wall, there is a hidden formation," Duorou said.

Ding Fan looked towards the stone wall, which appeared no different from other parts.

"Master, your Divine Sense has been blocked, so you absolutely can't detect it," Duorou continued. "If I'm not mistaken, as long as you enter that Concealment Formation, you should be able to get behind this stone wall."

The stone wall looked man-made, seemingly built for the purpose of storing those treasures. Since it was a place to store treasures, there must certainly be a way in and out.

What Duorou said had a seventy to eighty percent chance of being right.

Now, in front of the stone wall, at least a hundred people, Ding Fan looked around, and just among the Heavenly Level Martial Artists, there were at least five or six, and countless more Martial Artists of Earth Level Grade Eight and higher. With these people around, it was almost impossible to snatch the treasures.

Let alone now that Ding Fan was at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment; even if he were at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it would still be impossible to steal the treasures from so many experts.

At this moment, Ding Fan focused his attention on the Concealment Formation. If he could enter behind the stone wall before anyone else, the chances of success would be much greater.

However, there were also significant difficulties now.

In front of the Concealment Formation stood quite a few people.

Although these people hadn't noticed the Concealment Formation, they all stayed close to the stone wall, hoping to take advantage when the action started.

If he wanted to enter the Concealment Formation unnoticed, he first had to disperse all those people who were very close to the formation.

But how to disperse them was now a problem.

Just then, Lady Fang continuously launched her Inner Strength, and those few wanting to avenge their peers were instantly sent flying by Lady Fang.

Among them, two were directly killed, and the rest also suffered serious injuries.

Now these people dared not continue the fight and quickly left with their deceased peers in tow, tails between their legs.

Lady Fang didn't care at all, killing a person as if she had merely crushed an ant.

Seizing this opportunity, Ding Fan could only resort to risky maneuvers now.

Ding Fan readied his Invisibility Pearl and then sent more than ten Wind Blades slashing towards the crowd.

The Wind Blades Ding Fan sent out targeted everyone in the first row, those close to the stone wall, and he targeted them in a dispersed manner.

Slash… the Wind Blades harshly cut through the air and headed for their targets.

Those standing in the front row were all extremely powerful individuals with cultivation levels; all the Heavenly Level Martial Artists were right at the front. Moreover, Ding Fan's Wind Blades were not meant to kill anyone but to create chaos.

Therefore, although Ding Fan threw out many Wind Blades, he did not actually kill anyone.

However, although Ding Fan's Wind Blade didn't kill anyone, the Martial Artists in the front row immediately countered by killing back.

Since the Wind Blade had come from behind, these people naturally turned against those behind them. Coupled with the fact that Lady Fang had made a big move just before, everyone was already on high alert. Therefore, after Ding Fan's Wind Blade struck, the whole scene immediately descended into chaos, with everyone fighting each other.

Chaos was exactly what Ding Fan wanted.

Right away, Ding Fan used the Invisibility Pearl. After becoming invisible, he quickly moved toward the Concealment Formation.

This Formation was rather ingenious; Ding Fan hurriedly searched his storage ring for some materials and, after a busy period, managed to produce several Array Flags.

Ding Fan immediately set up these Array Flags on the key spots of the Concealment Formation, which quickly broke the Formation. At that moment, an opening large enough for a person appeared in front of Ding Fan.

Ding Fan immediately dove into it.

At this moment, Ding Fan was not worried about being seen; he had made a few more Array Flags primarily to break the Formation and to continue maintaining its concealing effect.

If this place were discovered by others, then Ding Fan would be in a tricky situation.

Ding Fan immediately entered the opening, but to his surprise, there was no passage inside; what appeared in front of him was another stone wall.

Ding Fan pondered for a moment.

If there really was no way out here, then why set up a Concealment Formation here?

Then, Ding Fan carefully examined the stone wall in front of him and finally understood what was going on.

It seems this stone wall is actually a stone door.

Ding Fan touched the stone wall and after some research, he found that it was extremely tough and also protected by a Defensive Array. If he were to use brute force, it probably wouldn't work and would only cause a big disturbance.

Ding Fan searched carefully again and unexpectedly found a small groove in the upper right corner of the stone wall.

The size of the groove was almost similar to that of a seal.

A flash of inspiration struck Ding Fan and he immediately took out Li Shizhen's seal from his storage ring.

This seal was originally acquired by Ding Fan from inside the heads of a pair of Bronze Figures during his time with the Korean Imperial Physician.

One contained a Treasure Map of the Haijiao Jungle and the other held Li Shizhen's seal.

Ding Fan had always thought that keeping Li Shizhen's seal was useless as he wasn't into antiques, and the seal was not very useful to him.

Latterly, Ding Fan thought that perhaps upon finding the Treasure, this seal might be of use.

Seeing the groove now, Ding Fan began to wonder if this really could be where Li Shizhen's Treasure was hidden?

Since arriving in the Haijiao Jungle, Ding Fan had been searching for a 'mountain' shaped terrain, but unfortunately, he hadn't found it yet; perhaps this was it, but it remained uncertain.

At this moment, Ding Fan took out Li Shizhen's seal and then directly placed it into the groove.

To Ding Fan's surprise, the size of the seal perfectly matched the groove, fittingly restoring that part of the stone wall.

Seeing this, Ding Fan understood that the seal had likely been originally taken from this stone wall.

The stone wall was extremely hard. Ding Fan had no idea how the great god had initially managed to pry the seal from the wall.

By now, Ding Fan could be sure that this place was where Li Shizhen had hidden his treasure.

Boom... At this moment, the stone wall in front of Ding Fan slowly opened, and a wave of dust settled, suddenly brightening up with a burst of brilliant light.

In the brilliance, a flame was sealed within a jade box.

Could this be? The Heavenly Flame?!

When Ding Fan saw this flame, his eyes widened in sheer disbelief.

The Heavenly Flame is considered the foremost among all flames, ranking as the top flame in heaven and earth. Although the Nine Luminaries Fire is formidable, it is not even in the same league as the Heavenly Flame.

The Heavenly Flame was extraordinarily spirited at this time, and the surrounding spirit pressure was very intense.

It seems that the extremely strong spirit pressure of the Heavenly Flame had collapsed the land here, then triggered the descent of celestial phenomena...

Ding Fan dared not delay any further at this moment.

When the stone door opened, it made a series of noises. Ding Fan was sure that those outside could definitely hear it. Therefore, what Ding Fan needed to do now was to swiftly leave this place.

With one move, Ding Fan placed the Heavenly Flame into his storage ring.

The Heavenly Flame could only be temporarily sealed in that jade box for now, awaiting more time to be refined slowly.

Squeak, squeak... Meanwhile, more and more cracks appeared on the massive stone wall.

Clearly, because Ding Fan had taken away the Heavenly Flame, the change in spirit pressure made the stone wall unbearable, causing it to crack.

Ding Fan hurried over to the entrance. By then, the sounds of battle outside had indeed ceased, clearly indicating that everyone had realized someone had taken the treasure.

"The treasure has been taken, everyone be alert, be very careful!"

Someone shouted at this moment.

Ding Fan knew that even if he continued to hide here, he would eventually be discovered by these people.

Right now, the idea of leaving unnoticed was impossible. Instantly, Ding Fan took out five or six Foundation Building Pills from his storage ring.

Just then, the massive stone wall emitted a series of crushing sounds, and the huge wall collapsed in an instant.

Taking advantage of this, Ding Fan swiftly dashed out from his hiding place.

Although the giant stone wall had collapsed, causing chaos at the scene, there was still one person who noticed Ding Fan.

That person immediately sped towards the direction in which Ding Fan had escaped.

The others present, seeing the collapse of the wall, hurried over en masse to check on the treasure, so most of them did not notice Ding Fan's escape.

Ding Fan could naturally feel someone catching up to him from behind.

Upon dashing out, Ding Fan had thought that with so many strong people around, someone would definitely discover his trace.

Ding Fan dared not be careless.

On Earth, there is a saying, "A gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a treasure..."

Just because of the Heavenly Flame Ding Fan carried, he had already become a target for all.

Ding Fan ran wildly. In no time, he had already run quite a distance.

At this moment, a series of fine needles shot towards Ding Fan from behind.

Ding Fan quickly dodged to the side.

With that dodge, his speed decreased, and the person behind had already caught up.

Shoo, shoo, shoo... The person who caught up immediately landed several sword strikes to intercept Ding Fan.

"It's you?!" The person blocking Ding Fan, upon recognizing him, was quite astonished.

The person blocking Ding Fan was none other than Lady Fang.

Lady Fang was holding a longsword in her hand at this time.

This was the first time Ding Fan had seen Lady Fang using a weapon.

"We meet again." At this moment, Ding Fan directly took out the Nine Profound Iron.

"You swallowed the pill I gave you, how could you possibly still be alive!" Lady Fang asked Ding Fan with a puzzled face.

Ding Fan snorted lightly. "You overestimate yourself too much. A mere pill trying to kill me?"

Lady Fang's face darkened. "Young man, I had not expected you to obtain such a heaven and earth treasure. I misjudged; however, that treasure is not something you can handle!"

At that moment, Ding Fan raised the Nine Profound Iron. "Whether I can handle it or not is not for you to decide."

Lady Fang, with a flicker of her figure, almost before her words had finished, thrust the longsword toward Ding Fan's heart.

Her swiftest movement technique was combined with the magic artifact to launch an attack.

In Lady Fang's view, Ding Fan was doomed.

A full-powered strike at the Heavenly Level third grade; how could a young man possibly withstand it!

Boom... Ding Fan blocked the sure-hit sword strike with the Nine Profound Iron. Fınd the newest release on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Lady Fang hesitated for a moment...

Her sure-win strike was so effortlessly dodged by the opponent...
