Chapter 992: Chapter 992

Dejiang Chessboard Mountain is located more than forty kilometers outside of Dejiang City.

Due to the perennial miasma there, few people approach it. Because of this, the natural conditions there have not been greatly disturbed.

Ding Fan used sword control to bring Wang Fang to the base of Chessboard Mountain.

Wang Fang genuinely did not expect someone could use sword flight; he was utterly shocked by Ding Fan's amazing skill.

You should know that among the impressive figures of the Ghost Sect, none that Wang Fang met could fly using a sword.

"Swallow this." Upon reaching the base of Chessboard Mountain, Ding Fan held out a black Pill in his palm and handed it to Wang Fang.

"Brother... What... what is this?" Wang Fang asked, his face filled with fear as he looked at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan did not answer, only gave Wang Fang a cold glance.

Seeing Ding Fan's icy gaze, Wang Fang didn't dare utter another word and swallowed the Pill directly.

"This is called a Burning Heart Pill. If you entertain any treacherous thoughts later, prepare for your organs to be scorched," Ding Fan said with a tone of indifference.

Wang Fang had heard of this Pill before. It was said to change according to one's consciousness: if you betray, your organs will be burned.

Wang Fang felt miserable. Such a powerful Pill, and he encountered it.

In truth, Wang Fang had no idea that the so-called Burning Heart Pill was Ding Fan's fabrication; the Pill was just one of Ding Fan's failed alchemy products with no effect at all.

Wang Fang dared not entertain any sly thoughts anymore, and he led Ding Fan up Chessboard Mountain.

While they were halfway up Chessboard Mountain, two figures suddenly blocked their path.

"Hmm? Young Master, why would you come here so late?" The ones blocking Ding Fan and Wang Fang evidently recognized Wang Fang.

"For what else? The formation needs to be properly arranged by tomorrow night. Naturally, I have to come and inspect," Wang Fang said, prioritizing his survival above all else.

Wang Fang didn't dare harbor any ulterior motives against Ding Fan now.

"Young Master, you truly are dedicated…" one of them flattered.

"Alright, continue watching over here properly; I'm going up for a look!" Wang Fang said.

"Understood!" The two figures flickered and disappeared.

As for who Ding Fan was, those two didn't even dare to ask a question.

Ding Fan used his divine sense to survey the surroundings.

Chessboard Mountain is very steep; this is the only entrance to the mountain. Ding Fan put on the Spatial Ring and directly inserted an Array Flag into a large tree's interior.

This Spatial Ring was very useful to Ding Fan; it's unthinkable that a living tree's interior would be lined with Array Flags.

After setting up the Array Flags, Ding Fan and Wang Fang continued up Chessboard Mountain.

Along the way, several groups stopped Ding Fan and Wang Fang, but after recognizing Wang Fang, they immediately cleared the path.

Thus, Ding Fan encountered little resistance in reaching the top of Chessboard Mountain.

Although it wasn't yet fully daylight, many people were already busy here.

Ding Fan used his divine sense to check the area; most people here were disciples of the Ghost Sect.

This was hardly unexpected since Wang Quan was just a steward of the Lu Family; where else could he find so many people to help him set up this Nine Heavens Thunder Array?

Ding Fan cautiously examined the surroundings and quickly discovered that hidden formations were set up in some places at the venue, with several Array Flags underneath.

These Array Flags likely comprised the Nine Heavens Thunder Array.

Judging from the current scale, if this Nine Heavens Array were activated, few could survive here.

"Young Master Wang, it's rare for you to personally come so late," said a middle-aged man who approached.

Although the person used a Concealment Formation to hide his aura, Ding Fan saw at once that he was a Ghost Sect Warrior.

"Mr. Mo Qian, the day after tomorrow is the official day of the Hidden Sects meeting, so I must come to inspect," Wang Fang said.

The middle-aged man known as Mo Qian smiled. "Young Master Wang, haven't you been quite close with Miss Su Qing lately? How come she's not with you tonight...?"

Mo Qian's words were filled with obvious ridicule that Wang Fang could feel from his sneer.

"Su Qing had other matters; I came by myself."

Thinking of Su Qing as a withered old woman made Wang Fang sick, regretting having been so entangled with such an elder.

"Who's this? I've not seen Young Master Wang bring him before," Mo Qian asked, turning his gaze to Ding Fan.

"This is my... my cousin, coming along with me."

Ding Fan nodded slightly at Mo Qian, acknowledging his presence.

"Young Master Wang, the day after tomorrow is extremely important, so refrain from bringing people casually..." Mo Qian said impolitely.

At this moment, there came a loud noise from the distance.

"Go down; we'll handle the formation. Your people just need to prevent others from coming up..." Without another word, Mo Qian headed towards the direction of the sound.

After Mo Qian left, Ding Fan used his divine sense to roughly survey the Nine Heavens Great Array.

Immediately, he discreetly placed Array Flags into stone blocks near key array nodes of the Nine Heavens Thunder Array with the help of the Spatial Ring.

Ding Fan set up an isolation formation. Googlᴇ search 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

When Ding Fan's isolation formation is activated, the Nine Heavens Thunder Array won't be able to start.

Due to the Spatial Ring, Ding Fan wasn't worried about anyone seeing his array flags. Who would think there are flags hidden within the stones?

After arranging these, Ding Fan discreetly set up a defensive array before leading Wang Fang away from Chessboard Mountain.

"Brother... I have shown such loyalty, can you let me go..." After descending Chessboard Mountain, Wang Fang spoke to Ding Fan, almost in tears.

Now, Wang Fang feared the Burning Heart Pill Ding Fan had given him the most. He truly worried about his internal organs being incinerated.

"It's not time yet," Ding Fan said indifferently. "I still need you to play a part in a play the day after tomorrow. We'll talk after you act well in that play."

Wang Fang dared not argue with Ding Fan, and the two returned to the small town.

At this time, the sky was already beginning to brighten.

Ding Fan directly sent Wang Fang back.

Ding Fan wasn't worried that Wang Fang would reveal anything; his cowardly nature made him willing to let anyone die to save himself, even his father...

After parting with Wang Fang, Ding Fan immediately headed back to the courtyard.

Just as Ding Fan entered the courtyard, Wu Weier was already waiting there.

"Where did you go last night?" Wu Weier questioned sternly.

At this moment, Ding Fan felt good because the Nine Heavens Thunder Array around the Hidden Sects Assembly had been broken. He didn't plan to take Wu Weier seriously.

As Ding Fan intended to forgive Wu Weier, she blocked his path again.

"Where exactly did you go last night?"

Ding Fan was stunned; today's Wu Weier seemed different from usual. He faintly sensed that something had happened.

"Uncle-Master Jiang Feng was seriously injured last night..." At this moment, Wu Cheng stepped out of the room, his face heavy.

"My uncle-master treated you like a distinguished guest, but when he was injured, where were you?" Wu Weier said, her eyes even reddening.

Ding Fan now understood why Wu Weier was angry with him; she was taking out her anger on him.

"Where is the person now?" Ding Fan asked.

"He's in the room..." Wu Cheng said from the side.

"Take me to see..." Ding Fan said.

Tomorrow is the main day of the Hidden Sects Assembly, and now Jiang Feng has been seriously injured; Ding Fan felt this matter wasn't simple.

"What can you see?" Wu Weier blocked Ding Fan again. "Going to watch a joke?"

Ding Fan slightly furrowed his brows. "I'm naturally going to check Senior Jiang's injuries..."

"There's no need for you to act like a good person here; you better leave. Stay away from us in the future." Wu Weier said, her eyes red.

"We've already asked someone to check Uncle-Master Jiang Feng's injuries, and they said his meridians are disrupted... It's a miracle to save his life." Wu Cheng sighed from the side.

Disrupted meridians? That's quite a heavy hand.

"I might still be able to wake Senior Jiang..." Ding Fan said to Wu Weier.

Wu Weier seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.

"You really overrate yourself. Disrupted meridians—do you think you can reconnect them?" Wu Weier said from the side.

"You never know until you try. Even if there's a one in ten thousand chance, it's worth attempting." Ding Fan said.

After listening to Ding Fan, Wu Weier pondered for a moment before resolutely turning to him. "Alright, I'll trust you this once. If you joke about Uncle-Master Jiang's body, I absolutely won't spare you."

Ding Fan said no more and strode into Jiang Feng's resting room.

At this moment, Jiang Feng was lying on the bed, his face ashen, looking extremely haggard.

Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to examine Jiang Feng's condition.

Indeed, multiple meridians in Jiang Feng's body were damaged...

However, Ding Fan was relieved to find that Jiang Feng's heart meridian was unharmed.

Judging by Jiang Feng's injuries, they were relatively recent...

Considering this, Ding Fan had a way to help repair the meridians in his body. If Jiang Feng's meridians had been disrupted for over eight hours, then not even a Great Luo Immortal could do anything.

Ding Fan immediately took out a box of silver needles from his storage ring.

After opening the box containing the silver needles, Ding Fan gently brushed the needle with his right hand, and two needles adhered tightly to his hand as if attracted by a magnet.

Ding Fan took the silver needle and unhesitatingly inserted it into Jiang Feng's neck.

Ding Fan's technique seemed ordinary but required profound skills.

Repairing meridians demands precise precision. Even the slightest deviation in needle placement would mean failure...
