Chapter 818: Chapter 818
Having captured Dai Qiliao, Ding Fan immediately contacted Mu Zi.
This Dai Qiliao had single-handedly slaughtered a group of over a dozen people more than ten years ago, and now that he had been captured, he of course had to be handed over to Mu Zi's people.
The members of the 3567 team swiftly arrived.
Before, they had thought of a method to capture Dai Qiliao, which involved setting an ambush and directly leading Dai Qiliao into it to capture him.
However, no one expected that this vicious character from decades ago would be subdued so easily by Ding Fan.
The members of the 3567 team took Dai Qiliao away, while Jia Yunhao invited Ding Fan to have a cup of tea.
The Longxi Auction had always been helpful to Ding Fan, so he followed Jia Yunhao back to the port and then stayed in a private room of a coffee shop.
Once inside the private room, Jia Yunhao and Ding Fan each ordered a cup of coffee.
"Young Master Ding, first of all, congratulations on your achievements at the Martial Arts Tournament," said Jia Yunhao.
"The Martial Arts Tournament was halted halfway through, I imagine you might know some of the reasons behind it."
With Longxi Auction's well-established intelligence network, Ding Fan was curious to hear their perspective on the abrupt end of the Martial Arts Tournament.
Jia Yunhao and Ding Fan had nothing to hide. "We did indeed receive some information; it appears that the passage to the Immortal Sect is slowly closing, but the specific reasons are unknown to us."
The passage to the Immortal Sect is closing?
Ding Fan's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The only thing Ding Fan knew now was about a location inside the Human Level cave at Qiu Mountain.
If the passage to the Immortal Sect was truly closing, then Gusu Qingwen...
"Is there more detailed news?" Ding Fan asked.
Jia Yunhao shook his head slightly. "Knowing that the Immortal Sect's passage is about to close is already not easy; we have no more detailed plans."
Ding Fan nodded understandingly.
"However, I received another piece of news," Jia Yunhao said. "Someone is seeking people carrying the Immortal Talisman."
Ding Fan looked at Jia Yunhao, who not only had the Immortal Talisman but also had two of them.
Jia Yunhao said, "It's a very terrifying power, simply put, even the Immortal Sect might fear them to some extent."
"What kind of power is it?"
Jia Yunhao shook his head slightly. "That's all I know."
Ding Fan naturally knew that Jia Yunhao telling him this information was intended to win him over; therefore, if he knew, he certainly wouldn't have hidden anything.
Another power was searching for people who carry the Immortal Talisman, and the passage to the Immortal Sect is now slowly closing...
Although Ding Fan didn't know exactly what was happening in the Immortal Realm, he felt that something very unusual was definitely about to occur.
Ding Fan and Jia Yunhao chatted for a while longer, but the topic of conversation turned to less important matters.
After finishing their coffee, the two parted ways. Wu Die, however, didn't leave with Jia Yunhao but stayed by Ding Fan's side.
Ding Fan, following the markers left by Huan Er and the others, quickly found the hotel where they were staying.
Cheng Bufan and Bian Zixuan had already been arranged by Mu Zian to be in a military hospital, stabilizing their condition for now.
"Brother Fan, my grandfather just called me, something seems to have stirred up on Mali Island ..." Mu Zi found Ding Fan at this time.
Ding Fan had slain Haji there and had taken over Haji's forces, becoming a significant local power.
Beneath that island was a decent Spirit Stone Vein, and Ding Fan had been thinking about establishing his power base there.
Ding Fan was still set on having his own territory.
That was why he originally appointed Huang Can to manage his own domain on the island.
Ding Fan decided to personally visit Mali Island at this moment.
However, what made Ding Fan uneasy was that initially, he came to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament on Serpent Island to acquire the Spirit Renewal Herb for Chen Yuanyuan.
At this time, Lan Qier was still in Chen Yuanyuan's hands. Even if Chen Yuanyuan wouldn't do anything, Ding Fan still worried that Ye Tianshi might harm Lan Qier.
"Ding Fan, I think you should go first, I will talk to grandmother about it," Huan Er stood up as Ding Fan hesitated.
Through their time together, Huan Er had gained a lot of understanding about Ding Fan.
Bian Zixuan and Cheng Bufan were severely injured, and Ding Fan did not hesitate to fight San Zhaimu for his friends...
Moreover, when she and Ding Fan first left, Chen Yuanyuan instructed her to take meticulous care of Ding Fan, practically entrusting her to him.
During this time, not only had Ding Fan shown no improper intentions towards her, but he had also treated her with great respect; for this reason alone, Huan Er was willing to assist Ding Fan.
"About Ye Tianshi..." Ding Fan pondered.
But before Ding Fan could finish, Huan Er interjected. "You don't have to worry about Ye Tianshi, he will listen to grandmother. I've been with her for a long time, and she trusts what I say."
Ding Fan nodded. The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Mali was Ding Fan's backyard, and now that there was a fire in the backyard, he naturally had to go back and check on it. So now was not the time for politeness.
"Once my business is over, I will come back to find you all..." Ding Fan said and directly handed over two Immortal Talismans to Huan Er. "Take these, at least you'll have something to show when you return."
Huan Er looked at the Immortal Talismans, then slowly shook her head. "It would be better if you come back sooner. Since these are yours, you should keep them."
Seeing Huan Er react this way, Ding Fan didn't waste further words and directly put away the Immortal Talismans.
Having decided to leave, Ding Fan made some arrangements; Cheng Bufan and Bian Zixuan were in the military hospital, so he had nothing to worry about for now.
Huan Er had to rush back to Chen Yuanyuan, while Wu Die decided to stay with Mu Zi to take care of Cheng Bufan and his group.
After ensuring everything was in order, Ding Fan then took his Flying Sword and headed straight for Mali Island.
Since Ding Fan controlled the sword swiftly, it took him less than two hours to reach the skies above Mali Island.
However, to Ding Fan's surprise, the outer perimeter of Mali Island was patrolled by quite a few military ships.
It was known that Mali Island had been a lawless area for many years, although there were some boats coming in and out, mainly speedboats and fishing boats.
Ships like these military vessels had never been seen before.
Ding Fan made his Sword land in a secluded area.
Ding Fan had once seen a map of Mali Island, so the geography of the entire island was imprinted deeply in his mind.
The area where he landed was on the eastern part of the island, and his realms of authority were supposed to be in the north. If nothing went wrong, he just needed to head north to return to his turf.
However, as soon as Ding Fan stepped out from where he was, he felt something was off.
The area under his control was completely manned, and it seemed like his own territory had been surrounded.
After thinking for a moment, Ding Fan decided to first check who had surrounded him. There were guns and cannons, and being blockaded at the door made Ding Fan very uncomfortable.
Ding Fan proceeded carefully, keeping his Divine Sense fully alert. It didn't take long for him to locate the command center that had his territory surrounded.
The command center was located within a white two-story building.
Around this small white building, there were two armored vehicles parked, and it was guarded by around a dozen people. Without further ado, Ding Fan used the Invisibility Pearl and entered the second floor of the building.
At this moment, inside a meeting room in the white two-story building.
A person in military uniform sat in front of a command desk, continuously fiddling with a pen.
"General Tedun, actually, we didn't need to provoke Huang Can and their people, they have a Wizard, we are no match for them," said a fat middle-aged man with a worried expression.
This fat middle-aged man was none other than Wali, who had been taught a lesson by Ding Fan before.
The one referred to as Tedun hummed lightly. "Wali, there are no gods or ghosts in this world, let alone Wizards… You are too superstitious…"
Wali shook his head hastily. "General Tedun, I'm really not lying to you, I have experienced that Wizard; he is really powerful. Now that we almost completely control Mali Island, we should not bother Huang Can."
Tedun's face turned stern. "Wali, do you know why Myanmar lent its troops secretly to help you?"
Wali thought for a moment before speaking. "Because a former high-ranking official from Myanmar has fled here…"
"Are you stupid? Myanmar wouldn't deploy troops just for such a thing," Tedun said, scoffing disdainfully. "Let me tell you, there is a gold mine in the northern part of Mali Island… Now that we have already gotten here, are we supposed to just retreat?"
Wali thought for a moment and said, "Then about attacking Huang Can, I will not join. Just let your people from Myanmar handle it."
Tedun's gaze became more solemn. "Wali, don't you think you are being too simplistic? We had an agreement before; we help you dominate Mali City, and you help us get what we want…"
"But that Wizard…" said Wali.
"Don't talk to me about Wizards anymore, understand this, you don't have a way out now. Since you have boarded our ship, you must fulfill your duties!" Tedun said furiously. "Moreover, we have already besieged Huang Can's people for almost a week now; if there was actually a Wizard, he would have appeared by now."
"It still wouldn't be too late if he appeared now," just then, a voice unexpectedly emerged in the room.
"Who?" Tedun's eyes sharpened.
When he looked, a young man with yellow skin had somehow already appeared in front of him.
"How... how can... how could you possibly appear here?" Tedun frowned tightly.
Knowing that there were guard patrols and armored vehicles outside, it was impossible for even a mouse to sneak in unnoticed. He couldn't comprehend how Ding Fan had made it inside.
"Great Sorcerer, please forgive me, I did not intend to offend you!" At that moment, Wali immediately knelt down and started kowtowing towards Ding Fan.
The last lesson Ding Fan had taught Wali was still vivid in his memory, and Wali was genuinely very terrified of Ding Fan.
"Wizard? So you are that Wizard?" Tedun scrutinized Ding Fan up and down.
"Order your troops to withdraw. Then get lost to somewhere I can't see you," Ding Fan spoke indifferently.
"Dream on!" Tedun hurriedly pulled out his handgun.
But before he could even raise his gun, an iron nail shot directly at him, piercing through Tedun's wrist.
