Chapter 869: Chapter 869

At first, Ding Fan resolved the Black Death mutant virus left by the Ghost Sect in Yanjing, and later discovered that the Ghost Sect was actually connected to the Upper Xuan Sect.

At that time, Ding Fan killed Fang Butong, the beloved nephew of the Upper Xuan Sect's sect leader. Later, Elder Jiuzhen was also killed by Ding Fan, and Ding Fan himself was later kidnapped from the hospital by Jiu Shan. Ding Fan pursued them precisely to rescue Zhou Ruoran.

Just as Ding Fan had said before. As long as Ruoran was in danger, no matter where it was, he would go, and now he was even more determined to go to the Upper Xuan Sect.

At that moment, the group went directly under two pine trees.

These two pine trees were very tall, each one as thick as a hug. Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to probe and indeed found a mechanism made of special material under the pine trees.

"Open the sect gate, there is nothing here for you now," Ding Fan spoke to Sikong Shangyun standing aside.

Sikong Shangyun didn't dare to defy Ding Fan, and walked over and then took out a Jade Pendant from his bosom. Then he placed the Jade Pendant on the trunk of one of the pine trees.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, a series of creaking noises came from the space between the two pine trees.

A hole leading to the heart of the earth appeared in front of everyone, and upon seeing it, Sikong Shangyun did not hesitate and jumped down.

Seeing this, Ding Fan's gaze sharpened.

Ding Fan knew what Sikong Shangyun intended to do; he clearly intended to go down and send a message.

However, whether Sikong Shangyun went down to send a message or not was no longer important to Ding Fan, what mattered most now was that the sect gate had already been opened.

As long as the mountain gate is found and opened, that would be enough.

"Let's go down," Ding Fan said and then turned back to look at Fang Ruohan. "Will you go down or wait here for us?"

Regardless, Fang Ruohan still had many connections with the Upper Xuan Sect, whether she would go down or not was still up to her.

"My mother's life and death are unknown, I don't care about others, I must find my mother, so I must go down," Fang Ruohan said resolutely at this time.

Seeing Fang Ruohan , Ding Fan nodded. "Then let's go."

Immediately, Ding Fan went first, with the others following him, jumping into the pit one by one. As for Wang Ming, Zhang Shanlian carried him like carrying a little chicken all along.

The group jumped down the hole and in no time, they were supported by strong winds blowing from below.

The wind was designed according to the natural wind direction, specifically created to hold people; the original designer of this mountain gate truly had a unique ingenuity.

All of them landed one after another and walked out of the hole.

Then, the group was dazzled. Right after exiting the tunnel, what appeared before them was a pavilion, and behind that pavilion was a very spacious area, which, upon closer inspection, turned out to be a man-made giant chessboard.

Chess pieces were scattered on the board, seemingly from a game in progress.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Just as Ding Fan and the others were examining the entrance to the Upper Xuan Sect, several cold arrows were shot directly at them.

The angles at which the cold arrows came were extremely tricky, and the force was quite astonishing. Immediately, Ding Fan protected Fang Ruohan and dodged; one cold arrow shot past Ding Fan, finally embedding itself deep into the rock behind him due to its tremendous force.

Even Ding Fan was quite astonished at this time.

This strength could only be made by a Heavenly Level Martial Artist, but Ding Fan did not believe that there would be a Heavenly Level Martial Artist guarding the mountain gate here.

This was certainly the mechanism surrounding the mountain gate.

On the way here, the mechanisms of the Upper Xuan Sect's mountain gate were numerous, showing that this sect was indeed not simple.

"Who are you people, daring to trespass into the Upper Xuan Sect!" At that moment, six figures suddenly appeared in front of Ding Fan and the others.

"Do not let them go, they are harmful to the Upper Xuan Sect, kill them! Kill them!" Sikong Shangyun pointed at Ding Fan and the others and said from behind those six.

"Help, I'm Wang Ming, my father is Jiu Shan, don't act recklessly, if I lose my life, my father won't let you go either," Wang Ming cried out at this moment.

Wang Ming was genuinely concerned that if these people acted recklessly and fighting ensued, his life would genuinely be at risk.

Sure enough, after seeing Wang Ming, the six people hesitated, clearly unsure how to handle the situation at hand.

"Call Jiu Shan out," Ding Fan said indifferently to the six. "Tell him his son is in my hands; I am here to pick up my wife Zhou Ruoran."

After discussing for a moment, one of the six ran towards the sect interior.

On the other side of the huge chess board lay a cluster of ancient-style buildings, which seemed to be the dwelling area of the Upper Xuan Sect.

It didn't take long for dozens of people from the Upper Xuan Sect to rush towards them. These figures, once reaching the mountain gate, surrounded Ding Fan and his party.

Ding Fan utilized his Divine Sense to examine those encircling him; their cultivation levels were not weak, with the younger ones mostly around Human Level Fifth or Sixth Grade, and the older ones at Earth Level Early Stage or higher. Here, Ding Fan also spotted four at the Earth Level Peak.

Ding Fan was certain that these people were not all the Upper Xuan Sect had, but just a part of it already showcased the strength of the Upper Xuan Sect.

The Upper Xuan Sect, known as the number one righteous sect in the world, truly had the substantial strength and heritage to hold up to its name.

"Are you Ding Fan?!" After the people from the Upper Xuan Sect stabilized, an elder stepped forward to the front of the Upper Xuan Sect crowd.

This elder was seventy to eighty years old, his hair and beard a mix of black and white, but he was very spirited, and his presence was quite extraordinary.

At a glance, Ding Fan recognized who this elder was; this elder was none other than Jiu Shan, who had abducted Zhou Ruoran.

"Father, save me…" Wang Ming, seeing Jiu Shan, cried out as if he had seen a savior.

Jiu Shan glanced at Wang Ming, frowned slightly, but did not speak.

"Where is my wife, Zhou Ruoran?" Ding Fan spoke this sentence, which was indeed a response to the other party.

Jiu Shan's eyes brightened when he looked at Ding Fan. "Boy, you really have the guts. I didn't come to find you, yet you dare to break into my Upper Xuan Sect, are you not afraid of death?"

"Where is Zhou Ruoran?" Ding Fan, not wanting to listen to Jiu Shan's nonsense, spoke again.

"You are in no position to bargain with me. If you want your wife to be safe, then sever your arms now and kneel before me, and I might consider it," Jiu Shan said.

Ding Fan didn't bother with Jiu Shan's ramblings and simply swung his hand. Beside him, Wang Ming's remaining arm was directly severed by Ding Fan.

"Ahh…" Wang Ming couldn't help but scream in agony.

"You're courting death!" Jiu Shan saw Ding Fan directly cut off his own son's arm without another word, and in an instant, he was furious.

"Where is my wife, if you don't speak, I won't mind directly severing his head," said Ding Fan in a very calm tone.

"You're seeking death!" Jiu Shan suddenly rushed towards Ding Fan.

Jiu Shan was trying to use his movement technique to ambush Ding Fan.

However as much as Jiu Shan wished, ambushing Ding Fan was easier said than done. Before Jiu Shan could get close, Ding Fan had already sent a palm strike his way.

Jiu Shan didn't expect Ding Fan's reaction to be so quick. He was heading towards Ding Fan, so there was no way he could dodge the oncoming palm wind.

In a flash, Jiu Shan realized he could use his powerful cultivation and Inner Strength to directly strike Ding Fan dead!

Thinking this, Jiu Shan quickly mobilized his Inner Strength. Waving both hands, he gathered all the Inner Strength in his body and heavily bombed Ding Fan with it.

Several Earth Level Peak Martial Artists of the Upper Xuan Sect who saw this thought Ding Fan was doomed.

Jiu Shan, an Earth Level Peak Martial Artist, because Ding Fan was wearing a Magic Artifact that concealed his cultivation, seemed to them at most at the level of Earth Level First or Second Grade.

Someone of this cultivation level going head-to-head with Jiu Shan, wasn't that just courting death?

Boom… Ding Fan's and Jiu Shan's True Yuan clashed heavily.

Instantly, a strong gust of wind spread from the two as the center, carrying sand and stones, painfully lashing against people's faces.

However, the scene predicted by the people of Upper Xuan Sect, where Ding Fan would be killed by Jiu Shan, did not occur. Instead, after the clash of palm strength, Jiu Shan was like a kite with a broken string being directly blown backwards.

Finally, after smashing a flag on a large chessboard, did Jiu Shan land. Looking at Ding Fan then, he hadn't even moved from his spot, as if Jiu Shan being blown away had nothing to do with him. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

"How is this possible?!"

"How did this kid do it, to actually blow Jiu Shan away?"

"This kid must be some kind of monster." …

"Help me up…" Relying on his powerful cultivation, assisted by two disciples, Jiu Shan finally got up.

"Kid, you first killed my Upper Xuan Sect Master's closest nephew, then you killed Elder Jiuzhen of my Sect, ruined my Upper Xuan Sect's plans, and now you assault and severely injure me in my own Sect. I can firmly tell you, from now on, not just you, but all those close to you, everyone you know, they must all die!" Jiu Shan coldly said to Ding Fan.

As soon as Jiu Shan's words settled, a Wind Blade cut directly at him.

Spurt… Jiu Shan's right arm was directly severed by Ding Fan.

Those who threaten Ding Fan's loved ones, must die. The reason Ding Fan has not killed the opponent right now is simply because he still does not know the situation of Zhou Ruoran. Otherwise, just for the previous words, Ding Fan would have already killed him several times over.

"Ahh…" Jiu Shan too cried out miserably.

Seeing this, the people of Upper Xuan Sect all looked at each other.

Ding Fan is simply too ruthless. In front of all the members of the Upper Xuan Sect, he calmly severed Jiu Shan's arm, completely treating the people of Upper Xuan Sect as if they were air.

"I'll ask once more, where is my wife. Another meaningless word, and I will eradicate your Upper Xuan Sect!" Ding Fan stood proudly, the Nine Profound Iron already reversed held by his side without anyone noticing.

Zhou Ruoran is Ding Fan's Achilles heel, others absolutely cannot touch her. For Zhou Ruoran, Ding Fan can surely act as God of Slaughter, who would slaughter even gods and buddhas obstructing him!

"Surround him, kill him!" Jiu Shan, his teeth clenched, shouted at the people of Upper Xuan Sect.

Many disciples of Upper Xuan Sect drew their Longswords.

"Father, save me…" Wang Ming, seeing this, slumped, weakly crying to Jiu Shan beside him…
