Chapter 985: Chapter 985

Ding Fan and Wu Cheng had dinner, chatted for a while, and then both went to sleep.

After lying down, Ding Fan began circulating the True Qi within his body.

After circulating it for about three to four Grand Circulations, he detected some very subtle abnormal sounds in the courtyard.

Ding Fan's Divine Sense was now very strong, and he could hear sounds that were inaudible to ordinary people.

After hearing the noise, Ding Fan's Divine Sense immediately extended outwards, and to his surprise, the person leaving the room wasn't anyone else but Jiang Feng.

Ding Fan was puzzled; it was already around one or two in the middle of the night, and he couldn't understand why Jiang Feng was going out at this time.

With Jiang Feng heading out, Ding Fan wanted to see what was going on.

The Yinmen Conference was intricately connected, with both dragons and snakes mingling. The main reason Ding Fan did not participate in this conference as the Spirit Sect Sect Master was to protect from the shadows and prevent any sabotage.

Ding Fan was already at the Late Golden Core Stage, and with his cultivation, if he wanted to venture out, others wouldn't be able to detect him.

As Ding Fan left the room, Wu Cheng remained entirely unaware.

Under the scrutiny of his Divine Sense, after Jiang Feng left the courtyard, he sprinted towards the outskirts of the town.

Ding Fan concealed himself, following from a distance behind.

After Jiang Feng left the town, he returned to the place where he had met Ding Fan earlier that day and then stopped.

Ding Fan was puzzled; could it be that during the day, when he had fought with the Ghost Sect warrior again, he had hidden something valuable here?

Jiang Feng cautiously observed the surroundings, and only after confirming there was nothing unusual did he walk over to a large stone.

What happened next caused Ding Fan to widen his eyes in surprise.

The elder extracted a red box from within the stone.

In the elder's hand, the stone acted just like a Storage Magic Artifact; after he took out the red box, the stone returned to its original state, without any change.

Seeing this scene, Ding Fan suddenly thought of the Seal Stone.

The Seal Stone was exceptionally hard, and it was said that even a powerful Artifact of Attack couldn't cut through it.

But strangely enough, a Light-Obscuring Formation had been arranged within this hard Seal Stone...

For a long time, Ding Fan couldn't understand it; this was beyond his knowledge.

But after seeing Jiang Feng retrieve the red box from the stone, he vaguely felt that the person who had set up the Light-Obscuring Formation within the Seal Stone might be related to that elder.

Yet at the same time, Ding Fan was puzzled.

During the day, Ding Fan could see that there was a genuine fight between the Ghost Sect warriors and Jiang Feng. If Jiang Feng was truly helping the Ghost Sect set up the Light-Obscuring Formation within the Seal Stone, then there was no reason for the Ghost Sect warriors to try and kill Jiang Feng!

While Ding Fan was pondering, Jiang Feng had already put away the red box, and after confirming no one was around, he turned to leave.

Ding Fan hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not intervene.

Ding Fan hadn't confirmed whether Jiang Feng was indeed connected to the Seal Stone, and if he wasn't, stepping out rashly would be unreasonable.

So as the elder rushed ahead, Ding Fan followed calmly and unhurriedly from behind.

And just as the elder reached the town and was about to return to the courtyard, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

To avoid being noticed, Ding Fan also stopped and released his Divine Sense to explore further.

Very quickly, Ding Fan discovered why the elder had stopped.

At this moment, two Martial Artists were secretly setting up some formations in the courtyard. After some exploration, Ding Fan understood their actions.

What those two Martial Artists were putting in place was an Explosive Array.

Now, in the dead of night, if this Explosive Array were to activate, the entire courtyard would be blown to pieces, leaving almost no chance for anyone inside to survive.

Ding Fan's expression changed at this moment. Who could be wanting Jiang Feng and his companions dead?

While Ding Fan was quietly speculating, Jiang Feng had already taken action.

Just when the two hadn't realized it, Jiang Feng quickly subdued them. After all, Jiang Feng's cultivation was at the Heavenly Level.

The two Martial Artists setting up the Explosive Array only had Earth Level cultivation, so for Jiang Feng, capturing them was effortless.

Jiang Feng cut off one of their legs with a Wind Blade, while the other one he grabbed by the throat with his hand.

"We... we are from the Ghost Sect... Jiang Feng, if you don't want to die, you better leave the Yinmen Conference, protect your secret..."

Jiang Feng didn't wait for the man to finish speaking; with a sudden exertion of force, the Martial Artist didn't even utter a groan as he was choked to death by Jiang Feng.

The other Martial Artist hadn't expected Jiang Feng to be so ruthless, and for a moment, he was startled.

Jiang Feng didn't bother with him either and swiftly killed the other Martial Artist with another Wind Blade.

"You killed them too fast; they weren't even from the Ghost Sect..." As Jiang Feng was about to deal with the two corpses, Ding Fan's calm voice came from behind him.

Jiang Feng was startled; with his Heavenly Level cultivation, he hadn't expected anyone to be following him.

"Is it you?" Jiang Feng turned to look and immediately recognized Ding Fan.

The reason Ding Fan stepped forward was that from the previous conversation, he could almost confirm that Jiang Feng must have a significant connection with the Ghost Sect.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person the Ghost Sect is trying to hunt down isn't just the Wu family's siblings. That person should be you." Ding Fan's tone was very calm.

Jiang Feng glanced at Ding Fan. "You know too much, which can lead you to a fatal calamity, so it's better for you not to know."

"You're an honest and good person. I want to know what connection you have with the Ghost Sect," Ding Fan said casually.

Although Ding Fan hadn't known Jiang Feng for long, Jiang Feng was steady, had an elder's aura, and his brows were full of harmony...

Generally speaking, appearances reflect the heart, and Ding Fan couldn't believe that this Jiang Feng was a Ghost Sect warrior full of murderous aura.

"You don't need to know. I advise you not to get involved in this muddy water. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died..." Jiang Feng didn't look back at Ding Fan but pulled out two packets of Corpse Dissolving Powder from his Storage Bag.

"I think you came to the Hidden Sects conference to find someone to help you; maybe I'm that person," Ding Fan said casually.

Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head.

Although he said nothing, he had expressed everything.

Though Ding Fan indeed had some cultivation, he was too young. Jiang Feng didn't believe that someone like Ding Fan, just in his early twenties, could help him in the end.

"Can't the Spirit Sect Sect Master help you?" Ding Fan said casually.

Ding Fan saw that the other party didn't trust him, so he didn't mind revealing his identity.

The Spirit Sect Sect Master?

Jiang Feng glanced at Ding Fan. "Are you from the Spirit Sect? Can you take me to meet your Sect Master?"

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Ding Fan laughed. "The Spirit Sect Sect Master is standing right in front of you now."

Standing in front of me?

"Do you mean to say... you are the Spirit Sect Sect Master?" Jiang Feng asked, somewhat incredulous.

The Spirit Sect is one of the three major giants of the inner Hidden Sects. But the young Ding Fan, at his age, would probably still be in school in the Secular World.

Jiang Feng really couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the Spirit Sect Sect Master.

Ding Fan didn't waste words with Jiang Feng. He directly took out a Jade Pendant and threw it at Jiang Feng.

Ding Fan's casual toss was actually quite extraordinary.

The throw of the Jade Pendant seemed to be held by an invisible hand, finally landing steadily in Jiang Feng's hand.

Seeing Ding Fan's skill, Jiang Feng's eyes lit up.

Jiang Feng wasn't an outsider, and Ding Fan used a technique to send the Jade Pendant over.

To achieve the level of driving objects, one must be at least at Profound Level Sixth Grade or above in cultivation...

Jiang Feng felt his scalp tingle all over.

Ding Fan, at this age, reaching Heavenly Level would already be incredible. He simply couldn't believe anyone at this age could achieve Profound Level.

After seeing Ding Fan's technique, Jiang Feng was already convinced of Ding Fan.

Jiang Feng carefully received the Jade Pendant from Ding Fan. Spiritual Energy flowed on the pendant, and light shimmered.

Jiang Feng carefully examined the words on the pendant.

The front of the pendant reads "Spirit Sect," and the reverse side reads "Sect Master..."

It's real... it's really real!

Jiang Feng had heard that the Spirit Sect had a young Sect Master, and many said the Sect Master's age was barely over twenty.

Back then, Jiang Feng thought people were joking, but now he believed it wasn't a joke—it was true.

"Sinner Jiang Feng... meets the Spirit Sect Sect Master!"

After confirming Ding Fan's identity, Jiang Feng gave a warrior's salute with both hands and knelt on one knee.

Using the technique of driving objects from a distance, Ding Fan slightly raised his right hand, and Jiang Feng stood up directly from the ground.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's find somewhere with no people first," Ding Fan said casually.

Even though it was one or two in the night, walls have ears, and someone might hear them.

Immediately, Ding Fan led the way, with Jiang Feng following. Their figures blurred and soon vanished into the night.

Ding Fan led Jiang Feng out of the town, finally arriving at a forest outside the town. After Ding Fan confirmed there was no risk with his Divine Sense, he again questioned Jiang Feng.

"Speak whatever you have to say."

"I... I am guilty!" Jiang Feng said, sighing heavily.

"Sect Master Ding, are you aware of the matter of the Immortal Sect's space channel being blocked?" Jiang Feng asked.

At this, Ding Fan's eyes lit up.

He had previously suspected it was Jiang Feng, and now Jiang Feng himself brought it up.

Ding Fan nodded in response.

Jiang Feng then continued. "The Immortal Sect's channel was blocked because of me."

Things were exactly as Ding Fan imagined.

"Tell me everything you know," Ding Fan said... ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
