Chapter 986: Chapter 986

Jiang Feng ended up telling everything he knew.

When Jiang Feng was a young man undergoing cultivation and adventure, it was precisely at a time when Huaxia was ravaged by war. To avoid the conflict and focus on his cultivation, he went to the remote Shennongjia.

By a stroke of luck, Jiang Feng discovered an ancient martial ruins in Shennongjia.

Within those ruins, Jiang Feng not only obtained a cultivation technique and some cultivation resources, but he also inadvertently acquired a Spatial Ring.

The so-called Spatial Ring is a type of ring; once worn, objects can pass into one's body without altering their essence.

After obtaining this Spatial Ring, Jiang Feng cherished it dearly. He would frequently hide important items within indestructible materials so that only he could retrieve them, while others could not touch them.

Later, when he joined the secular world for cultivation, Jiang Feng was always hesitant to reveal this treasure. Eventually, Jiang Feng went to the Wu Family, an inner Hidden Sect.

But recently, by accident, Jiang Feng's ability was discovered by members of the Ghost Sect, who were controlling the Wu Family people at the time. They demanded Jiang Feng help them with something.

Jiang Feng is a person of great loyalty; he owes the Wu Family a debt of gratitude, so he couldn't bear to see the Wu Family involved because of him.

Jiang Feng agreed to help the Ghost Sect.

What Jiang Feng agreed to do for the Ghost Sect was to place a Light-Obscuring Formation inside a certain ore.

Jiang Feng didn't know what the ore was or why he was placing the Light-Obscuring Formation. At the time, he thought it was just some defensive or offensive formation that the Ghost Sect wanted to set up...

After assisting the Ghost Sect, Jiang Feng, concerned about their retaliation, claimed that the formation within the ore needed to be adjusted every ten years; otherwise, it would become ineffective. The Ghost Sect, wary of this, indeed did not harm him or the Wu Family.

However, later on, when the passage to the Immortal Sect was blocked, Jiang Feng began to suspect these events might have something to do with him.

Later, Jiang Feng personally went to one of the Immortal Sect's passages and, after some investigation, indeed found that the ores were the very ones he had previously placed the Light-Obscuring Formation in.

Jiang Feng was extremely remorseful.

Afterward, when the Ghost Sect rampaged across the world, wiping out many sects that did not follow their commands, Jiang Feng felt a deeper sense of guilt.

When he learned of Dejiang's secret meeting of Hidden Sects to unite against the Ghost Sect, Jiang Feng came with determination. His sole purpose was to confess everything to the Spirit Sect Master.

Currently, the Spirit Sect is the only sect capable of resisting the Ghost Sect.

However, Jiang Feng did not expect that his meeting with the Spirit Sect Master would happen in such a manner.

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Ding Fan nodded.

Regarding Jiang Feng assisting the Ghost Sect, Ding Fan wasn't particularly aggrieved. Jiang Feng could still be considered loyal and righteous, and his actions were merely to prevent harming the Wu Family, who had been kind to him.

"Could I have a look at that Spatial Ring?" Jiang Feng handed the Spatial Ring directly to Ding Fan without hesitation.

Ding Fan took the ring in his hand. After probing with his divine sense, he could feel a surge of spiritual energy flowing from within the ring.

Ding Fan slowly put on the ring and infused it with True Qi. At that moment, under his divine sense, he could feel his True Qi resonating with the spiritual energy inside the ring.

At this time, a green glow flickered directly from the ring worn by Ding Fan.

"What... is this?" Jiang Feng, on the side, almost questioned whether he was seeing things.

To be honest, the Spatial Ring had never reacted this way while in his possession.

Just then, Ding Fan slowly approached a large tree and reached towards its trunk.

Soon, Ding Fan's hand was already inside the tree, and yet the tree was unharmed.

In that moment, Ding Fan had a curious thought: what would it feel like if his entire body entered the tree?

With a thought followed by action, Ding Fan quickly slipped into the tree.

"How... how is this possible?" Jiang Feng was utterly astonished.

As the owner of such a treasure, he understood its capabilities best; he could only insert one hand. But Ding Fan could completely immerse his entire body.

While Jiang Feng was still in shock, Ding Fan had already emerged from the giant tree.

"Truly a treasure." Ding Fan silently praised.

In this vast world, indeed there are all sorts of treasures, and one that allows easy merging into objects was previously unheard of in the Cultivation World.

"Keep it well." After experiencing the treasure, Ding Fan simply tossed the Spatial Ring back to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng was taken aback.

He hadn't anticipated that Ding Fan would return the treasure to him so openly.

Jiang Feng had always believed only he could use this treasure, so when the Ghost Sect Master found out about the ten-year adjustment requirement, they left him untouched. Otherwise, wouldn't the Ghost Sect Master have snatched the ring and used it himself?

Now, Ding Fan has understood how to use this Spatial Ring, yet he still chooses to return it.

Such broad-mindedness is truly admirable...

"Sect Master Ding... This treasure is extremely unsafe with me. I came to you to hand it over to you," Jiang Feng said earnestly.

Jiang Feng wasn't lying.

The reason people from the Ghost Sect are after him now is mainly because he's planning to betray the Ghost Sect and they're afraid he'll open the pathway to the Immortal Sect. That's why they've attempted to assassinate him repeatedly.

Jiang Feng understood clearly; if he were to die, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. The main issue is the blockage of the pathway to the Immortal Sect. He has to give an explanation for this.

Jiang Feng initially intended to give the treasure to the Spirit Sect, hoping they would protect him or open the pathway to the Immortal Sect themselves.

Ding Fan understood the implication in Jiang Feng's words. He also knew that if this treasure were really handed over to Jiang Feng now, it would only spell trouble. After all, the people from the Ghost Sect already had their eyes on Jiang Feng.

"Alright, I'll hold onto this item for you for now," Ding Fan said calmly.

Ding Fan pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, "What was the thing you hid inside the stone before?"

Earlier, Ding Fan had followed Jiang Feng all the way to where they had met for the first time that day. At that time, Jiang Feng did take out a red box from inside a rock.

However, Ding Fan didn't know what was inside the red box, as there was a layer of formation on the outside that isolated Divine Sense.

When Jiang Feng heard Ding Fan's question, he was taken aback.

Jiang Feng had always thought Ding Fan discovered him outside the courtyard. It now seemed Ding Fan had been following him the entire time without his knowledge.

After his initial surprise, Jiang Feng found it quite normal.

After all, who was Ding Fan? He was the Sect Master of the Spirit Sect, and a Profound Level expert. If he followed Jiang Feng without being detected, it was indeed nothing unusual.

For a moment, Jiang Feng felt even more awe towards Ding Fan.

Jiang Feng didn't hide anything. "Inside that red box was a letter that the Wu Family wanted to give to the Spirit Sect Sect Master. The gist of the letter was to ally against the Ghost Sect. At the time, I thought we were surely going to be killed by people from the Ghost Sect, so I hid the letter in the rock to prevent the Ghost Sect from discovering the Wu Family's intentions and to keep the Wu Family safe."

After saying this, Jiang Feng took the red box directly from his storage ring.

Indeed, the box was identical to the one Ding Fan had seen before. Jiang Feng opened the box and took out a letter from inside.

Ding Fan took the letter and glanced at it. The letter was indeed from the head of the Wu Family to him, and its contents were just as Jiang Feng had described.

The gist was that the Ghost Sect had repeatedly bullied the Wu Family, and the Wu Family had had enough. They hoped the Spirit Sect Sect Master could uphold justice and lead the fight against the Ghost Sect, and the Wu Family was willing to offer their allegiance, etc...

After reading the letter, Ding Fan felt even more favorably towards Jiang Feng.

When being hunted by Ghost Sect warriors, at the most critical moment, what he thought about most wasn't his own safety but preserving the Wu Family...

In this world, it's common to embellish what is already beautiful but rare to offer help in dire need.

There are indeed not many people like Jiang Feng.

"Do you know who those people you just killed were?" Ding Fan asked.

"Those two should be from the Ghost Sect, right?" Jiang Feng said.

Ding Fan slightly shook his head.

When Jiang Feng killed those two people, Ding Fan had used his Divine Sense to probe them. There was no trace of death energy on them; it could be said they were just ordinary Martial Artists.

"Those two weren't people from the Ghost Sect."

Jiang Feng believed Ding Fan's words very seriously now, and his expression turned solemn. "Does that mean, besides the people from the Ghost Sect, there are others who want me dead?"

"The Ghost Sect couldn't kill you, so they've sent out their pawns. Those two people you just killed were the pawns they sent," Ding Fan said calmly.

After hearing Ding Fan's words, Jiang Feng felt a bit regretful. "Earlier, I was too reckless. If I hadn't killed those two, I could have tracked down who in the Ghost Sect is the mastermind."

Ding Fan didn't mind and said, "Actually, even if you killed them, I already know who's out to kill you."

Jiang Feng was taken aback. "Please enlighten me, Sect Master Ding."

"Do you remember during the day when we fought those Ghost Sect warriors until they couldn't hold on any longer, who came to their rescue?"

After hearing Ding Fan's words, Jiang Feng seemed to remember something. His eyes lit up. "You're talking about that butler from the Lu Family... Wang Quan!"

If Ding Fan had any uncertainties before, when Wang Fang was helping to arrange housing, Wang Fang inadvertently revealed his relationship with Wang Quan.

Jiang Feng now thought carefully about it, and it was indeed the case. Newest update provıded by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵

If it weren't for Wang Quan intervening, that Ghost Sect warrior would have been captured by them long ago...

Understanding this, Jiang Feng gathered more insights.

How could someone of Ding Fan's status claim Wu Weier was his beloved woman? It now seemed that Ding Fan sensed danger and wanted to protect them by staying beside them...

At this moment, Jiang Feng was deeply impressed by Ding Fan's meticulous thinking...

"Sect Master Ding, since we know Wang Quan is an internal Ghost Sect informant, should we just take him to see the Lu Family patriarch now..." Jiang Feng suggested directly.

Ding Fan waved his hand. "Now is not the time."
