Chapter 990: Chapter 990
Ding Fan suddenly took action, directly seizing Wang Fang's finger and breaking it.
"Ah..." Wang Fang instantly let out a pig-slaughtering scream.
"Let go! Quickly let go... it hurts..." Wang Fang's tears even started to flow.
"Stay away from me!" Ding Fan's tone was icy, devoid of any emotional color.
Beside him, Wu Weier heard Ding Fan's words and was stunned. Usually, Ding Fan was smooth-talking; she had never heard Ding Fan speak before.
At this moment, Ding Fan was cold and ruthless, and his emanating aura sent a chill down Wu Weier's back.
"I... I understand. I dare not do it again. I beg you to let go quickly." Wang Fang pleaded on the ground.
At this moment, Wang Fang had none of his usual suave demeanor; now he was sniffling messily.
"Scram!" Ding Fan had no mood to waste time on such a person. Immediately, Ding Fan kicked Wang Fang aside.
"You bastard, how dare you touch me! I'll kill you!" Wang Fang climbed up from the ground and, without a word, aimed a kick straight at Ding Fan's chest.
In front of Wu Weier, Ding Fan broke his finger, which was like slapping him in the face with a resonant slap. How could he swallow this breath?
Seeing Wang Fang being so relentless, Ding Fan's brows knitted tightly together.
Just as Wang Fang's foot was about to kick over, Ding Fan, without a word, flew a kick directly back. Official source ıs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Ding Fan's kick was later but faster, landing in Wang Fang's abdomen before Wang Fang's foot reached him.
Wang Fang's body was instantly flipped onto the ground.
Because he hit the ground so quickly, Wang Fang's face solidly smashed into the ground.
In an instant, he was bruised and swollen, looking very disheveled.
"You..." Wang Fang climbed up from the ground, glaring at Ding Fan with resentment.
But due to fearing Ding Fan's technique, Wang Fang did not dare rush over to fight Ding Fan again.
"What are you guys doing?" At this moment, a group of people surrounded Zhao Shanhe and Mei Zhi and walked out from the outside. The speaker was a disciple leading the way from Spirit Sect.
Upon seeing Spirit Sect people coming out, Wang Fang's eyes turned, and he directly rushed over, saying, "I am Wang Fang, the son of Dejiang Lu Family's steward. Because tomorrow is the main day of the Hidden Sects Conference, I came to pay respects to the seniors of Spirit Sect. But at the door, I heard this person speaking disrespectfully towards Spirit Sect. I tried to advise him, but he ignored and even beat me to this state..."
Beside him, Wu Weier was stunned. She didn't expect Wang Fang to slander Ding Fan . Her brows furrowed slightly.
Wu Weier had a fiery temperament, but that didn't mean she had character issues. She couldn't bring herself to slander someone after losing a fight.
"Everyone, seniors of Spirit Sect, just now there was just some misunderstanding. But he didn't speak disrespectfully towards Spirit Sect. Maybe my friend was disoriented from being hit, hence speaking nonsense; please don't blame him..." Before Wang Fang finished speaking, Wu Weier interjected.
Wang Fang had been hoping Spirit Sect would give him a good backing, but Wu Weier directly turned sides to support Ding Fan.
As Wang Fang wanted to say more, Wu Weier coldly glared at him.
Wang Fang was stunned. Usually, Wu Weier would affectionately call him Wang Fang brother. She had never given him such a glare before.
At this moment, Mei Zhi, who led the team out, spoke. "Since it's just a misunderstanding, that's good."
Mei Zhi said this and walked to Ding Fan's side with Zhao Shanhe. "This honored guest graces us with their presence. We improperly welcomed you. We hope you won't mind our disrespect!"
Beside this, Wang Fang blinked in disbelief.
What is Spirit Sect? It's one of the Three Great Hidden Sects, on par with Ghost Sect. Wang Fang knew the status of Mei Zhi and Zhao Shanhe, the leaders of Spirit Sect for this event.
And these two incredibly powerful people, Mei Zhi and Zhao Shanhe, personally arrived at the entrance to greet. It was quite extraordinary.
Even if Dejiang Lu Family's ancestor personally came, there was no guarantee the Spirit Sect's leader would come out; even if they came out, it wouldn't likely be both leaders together.
Wang Fang glanced at Ding Fan. 'What kind of incredible background does this kid have!'
Wang Fang was amazed, and Wu Weier was also stunned.
She came with Wang Fang mainly to meet the senior masters of Spirit Sect.
In Wu Weier's impression, Spirit Sect people were probably very proud and aloof.
But watching Mei Zhi and Zhao Shanhe's expressions, those two seemed almost cautious when facing Ding Fan...
Just what kind of person is this?! Wu Weier looked at Ding Fan in full confusion.
"Let's go inside and talk." Ding Fan said casually.
"Please!" Immediately, Wu Weier and Zhao Shanhe led the way ahead.
For a moment, the people of the Spirit Sect crowded around Ding Fan and entered the Spirit Sect camp in a mighty procession.
But Wang Fang and Wu Weier were just left there, and from start to finish, the people of the Spirit Sect didn't even ask why they had come.
After watching Zhao Shanhe and Mei Zhi escort Ding Fan inside, Zhao Shanhe finally remembered the reason he came here today.
"I am the son of the steward of the Lu Family in Dejiang, I wish to pay respects to the elders of the Spirit Sect, I have important matters..." Wang Fang addressed the gatekeeping disciple of the Spirit Sect.
"Elder Zhao and Senior Sister Mei Zhi are currently entertaining distinguished guests, once they're free, I'll relay your message." The gatekeeping disciple replied.
Distinguished guests?!
Zhao Shanhe instantly thought of Ding Fan, who was escorted in earlier. Clearly, the distinguished guest the Spirit Sect gatekeeping disciple referred to was none other than Ding Fan.
"Brother Wang Fang, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you any longer, I'm leaving." At this moment, Wu Weier, who had been by Wang Fang's side, spoke coldly.
"Hey..." Wang Fang originally thought he'd definitely win Wu Weier over in the next couple of days, but he didn't expect her attitude to do a complete turn-around at this moment.
Just as Wang Fang wanted to stop Wu Weier, she had already turned around and left decisively.
Watching Wu Weier's distant figure, Wang Fang clenched his fists tightly. In an instant, he secretly began to resent Ding Fan.
You young punk, sooner or later, I will let you know the consequences of showing off to me, and the Spirit Sect! You leave me so coldly, Wang Fang. When the time comes, I'll make you disappear from this Earth together!
Zhao Shanhe and Mei Zhi, escorting Ding Fan, entered the tent together.
"How many people did the Spirit Sect bring this time?" As the situation was quite serious now, Ding Fan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Sect Leader, this time we brought twenty-two Spirit Sect disciples with us." Zhao Shanhe replied honestly.
Ding Fan nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he relayed the information that Wang Quan, the steward of the Lu Family in Dejiang, had joined the Ghost Sect people and planned to place a bomb at the Hidden Gate Conference site.
"A mere steward of the Lu Family dares to do such a big thing." Zhao Shanhe's eyes were full of murderous intent.
If Ding Fan hadn't discovered this information in advance, the day after tomorrow, he and the Spirit Sect disciples would likely be directly blown to the heavens.
"Sect Leader, is there any plan?" Mei Zhi asked from the side.
Ding Fan said, "After the Nine Heavens Thunder Array explodes, all the hidden Ghost Sect people will rush in. Right now, we need to focus on dealing with these Ghost Sect warriors, how should we approach it."
The Nine Heavens Thunder Array could be completely broken by Ding Fan in advance, but the subsequent Ghost Sect people charging in would be truly tricky.
Upon hearing that Ghost Sect had planted people, Zhao Shanhe's brow furrowed tightly.
Ghost Sect disciples have formidable combat strength, and this direct confrontation is bound to be a bloody battle!
Mei Zhi also furrowed her brow in thought; the situation was indeed too dangerous, Ghost Sect's power was overwhelming, and a head-on clash would definitely be disadvantageous.
After pondering for a moment, Mei Zhi said, "At the Hidden Gate Conference, although there are many people, their hearts are not united. Trying to rally and fight off the enemy in a short time is impossible. So, I think the first priority is to withstand Ghost Sect's first wave of attacks. As long as we can withstand the first wave, the people at the Hidden Gate Conference will feel Ghost Sect's threat, and when someone calls to rally and fight together, it won't be an issue."
After listening to Mei Zhi's words, Ding Fan looked at Mei Zhi with full appreciation.
It's rare for a young woman to think this way, knowing that many men might not even think of it...
Ding Fan nodded and continued, "Here's what I'm thinking, first we scout out the Hidden Gate Conference site, then I'll set up a Defensive Array there. However, once the array is activated, it requires six Heavenly Level warriors to operate."
Mei Zhi replied, "That won't be a problem; we have six Heavenly Level warriors."
Spirit Sect is one of the Three Great Inner Hidden Sects, so selecting six Heavenly Level warriors from over twenty people is not a big deal.
Additionally, Ding Fan has distributed many Pills to the Spirit Sect lately; now the disciples' cultivation has generally improved, with a dozen advancing to Heavenly Level recently...
Ding Fan nodded, "The six selected must have abundant Inner Strength. Let them know whether they can withstand Ghost Sect's first attack depends on them."
Mei Zhi nodded and said, "Understood!"
"Elder Zhao," Ding Fan turned to Zhao Shanhe.
"Sect Leader!" Zhao Shanhe hurriedly saluted with the martial artist greeting.
"When the time comes, it's inevitable that Ghost Sect people will secretly infiltrate the Hidden Gate Conference to cause trouble. You take the other Spirit Sect disciples and defend fiercely; if any Ghost Sect disciples are found, kill without mercy!"
"Understood!" Zhao Shanhe answered.
After Ding Fan arranged everything, he dismissed the crowd.
Ding Fan specifically stayed with Mei Zhi.
"From now on, secretly follow Wang Quan for me. Report any actions he takes," Ding Fan instructed, pulling out the trident halberd from the storage ring.
"Take this Magic Artifact, if you encounter a strong enemy, do not fight recklessly, escape to me."
Mei Zhi took the trident halberd handed over by Ding Fan, utterly astonished.
It's worth noting that the trident halberd is a Spirit Level Grade Three Offensive Artifact, and Ding Fan casually handed such a treasure to her for use...
