Top-tier Unruly Master

When the elder saw Ding Fan mention Jin Minchong, his face immediately grew solemn.

"Who are you?" the elder looked toward Ding Fan.

Ding Fan looked at the elder opposite him. Although the elder did not reveal any information about Jin Minchong, the elder's expression made Ding Fan more certain that Jin Minchong was mostly in Changsheng now.

Ding Fan knew that the main souls of these Ghost Warriors had already been controlled by the Lord of Changsheng, the one called the Bright Lord. It was difficult to get any information from their mouths.

Furthermore, Ding Fan was currently in a perilous situation; if he wasted too much time with this elder and more Ghost Warriors arrived, Ding Fan's predicament would be too dangerous.

At that moment, Ding Fan's figure shook, and he directly lunged toward the elder.

Ding Fan's momentum was strong, and seeing Ding Fan daring to attack him proactively, the elder snorted coldly.

In the elder's view, Ding Fan was thin and young. Even if he had some skills, they couldn't be of any significant level.

Immediately, the elder drew his longsword with one hand, swirling a sword blossom with it before charging toward Ding Fan.

Ding Fan and the elder, without any warning, had begun to fight. Those bystanders such as the light orb and Mei Xian did not even have any time to prepare.

Swish swish swish...

After the two clashed, the sword lights instantly enveloped them.

And after a brief battle, the two separated again, with Ding Fan and the elder standing back to back, twenty meters apart.

At this time, the light orb's eyes watched Ding Fan and the elder. Everything had happened too fast, and up to now, he hadn't understood who had won.

"I didn't expect that this time I had been mistaken..." The elder, with his back still to Ding Fan, sighed softly. Then, he slowly turned his head to look at Ding Fan.

At this time, Ding Fan was standing there quietly.

Pfft... Just then, a stream of blood sprayed directly from the elder's chest, and the elder, unwillingly looked at Ding Fan one last time before collapsing heavily to the ground.

After the elder fell, Ding Fan slowly turned around. His expression remained calm and detached, showing no sign of joy or anger.

"So powerful..." The light orb, who had been dazed up until now, finally came to his senses.

Ding Fan and the elder had clashed, and immediately the elder was slain. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

Others might not know how formidable the Ghost Warriors inside Changsheng were, but the light orb knew. These Ghost Warriors were astonishingly powerful; earlier, more than a dozen Korean boxing masters from Korea could not defeat even one Ghost Warrior.

And yet, such a monstrous existence was thoroughly slain by Ding Fan with just one move.

The light orb knew Ding Fan was strong, but he truly hadn't expected Ding Fan to be this formidable.

At this time, without wasting any time, Ding Fan walked over to the body of the elder. With a gesture, he took the storage ring from the elder's finger.

However, Ding Fan was somewhat disappointed. In the elder's storage ring, there wasn't much of value besides two Second Grade Pills and five Spirit Stones.

These items weren't even sufficient to cover the usual loss from Ding Fan's alchemy.

However, in the elder's storage ring, Ding Fan did find a Jade Plate. This Jade Plate had clear Divine Sense marks on it and was suffused with a faint trace of Spiritual Energy.

On the jade plate was engraved the character for "ghost," and on the back of the plate, another character for "wind" was engraved.

Ding Fan immediately put away the jade plate.

Ding Fan then checked the elder's body and found a necklace inside his clothing.

The necklace was made of a material that was ostensibly clear, with an overall feel similar to that of metal grains, feeling very rough.

However, Ding Fan could clearly feel that the necklace was indeed a small protective Magic Artifact. Its Grade Level was very low, and its primary function, it seemed, was to defend against the toxic gas rising from the surface of the lake at this time.

"I need to go into Changsheng. You two wait here for me," Ding Fan said to Mei Xian and Guang Zhu at that moment.

"Brother, Changsheng is too dangerous to enter just like that, I'm worried..." Guang Zhu started to say but then stopped.

Actually, Guang Zhu didn't need to finish for Ding Fan to understand; Guang Zhu was afraid that he wouldn't come back once he went in.

However, Ding Fan also understood why Guang Zhu was worried about him. They were surrounded by dangers, and right now, Ding Fan was Guang Zhu's main support. Guang Zhu didn't want Ding Fan to risk entering Changsheng; he hoped Ding Fan would lead them out safely.

"Take this and eat it," said Ding Fan, not minding Guang Zhu's concerns, as he directly took out a black pill.

Guang Zhu was stunned. He didn't understand why Ding Fan wanted him to take that small pill.

"This pill is called 'One-Day Fatal Scatter.' While I'm gone, you must behave yourself. If you do well, I will come back and give you the antidote. However, if you harbor any ill intentions towards Mei Xian, then, I'm sorry, you will surely die."

"Brother... I..."

When Guang Zhu heard that what Ding Fan was giving him was poison, he almost cried out on the spot.

"If you refuse to eat it, I don't mind killing you right now," Ding Fan said in a very calm tone.

"I'll eat it, I'll eat it now." At this point, how could Guang Zhu not eat it?

With Ding Fan's resolute and ruthless demeanor, Guang Zhu was convinced that Ding Fan meant what he said and would certainly do it.

Guang Zhu immediately swallowed the pill.

After Guang Zhu swallowed the pill, Ding Fan found a place nearby for Guang Zhu and Mei Xian to hide. He then set up a small Concealment Formation, making it difficult for people to discover them.

Having done all this, Ding Fan then set off toward Changsheng.

To enter Changsheng, one must cross the lake that lay before them.

At this time, Ding Fan was not afraid of the toxic gas rising from the lake, for a great Alchemy Grandmaster, if he couldn't handle such minor toxic gases, then he might as well have bought a block of tofu and smashed his head against it.

Ding Fan, riding his Flying Sword, quickly flew over the lake.

While flying over the lake, Ding Fan felt that the surrounding toxic gas was very dense. In Ding Fan's estimation, ordinary people simply couldn't cross through the toxic gas to reach the world inside.

Given how dense the toxic gas was, even if human technology were advanced, it would still be difficult to penetrate the gas to see the genuine situation inside.

At this point, Ding Fan once again marveled at the person who had set up the Changsheng Defensive Array.
