Top-tier Unruly Master

Ding Fan retraced his steps, and after a group of mist, he only felt a blur before his eyes, although the scenery in front of him had indeed changed.

When Ding Fan looked around, he realized he had returned to the grand hall within the Human Level cave dwelling.

Ding Fan looked back at where he had come from, and there was nothing special behind him; from this angle, it was just an ordinary corridor.

Ding Fan once again recalled the three-year agreement. After three years, he would return.

At that moment, Ding Fan walked out of the fork in the road, and by now the grand hall was filled with many people.

It seemed that after he had intimidated everyone outside the grand hall, they hadn't dared to enter for a while, but maybe after enough time had passed, they had finally got the courage to come in.

Ding Fan thought about the time he had spent in the Immortal Realm, which must have been at least two days. At this point, he did not know where Qin Min and Qu Waner might be after these two days.

However, Ding Fan no longer cared, as there was no point in worrying. With so much time passed, they would probably be hard to find.

"Everyone, the Human Level cave dwelling is about to close. Please hurry and make your way back," someone shouted at this moment.

This Human Level cave dwelling only opened for three days, and since he had wasted so much time in the Immortal Realm, it was now time to close the cave dwelling.

By now, the martial artists within the grand hall rushed to a Teleportation Array inside.

This Teleportation Array was where the martial artists were sent back to the entrance of the cave. Ding Fan also walked towards the Teleportation Array.

At this moment, Ding Fan did not use his Duorou Disguise.

Ding Fan had previously slain the disciple of Hua Zhimo outside the cave dwelling, so now as he was leaving, it was natural to remain as low-profile as possible. If he were recognized by Hua Zhimo, the only outcome for him would be death.

Although Ding Fan was at the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation, facing a Heavenly Level expert was still far beyond him.

As noon approached, a beam of light suddenly brightened, and Ding Fan felt a blur before his eyes. Afterward, he felt as if his body was being pulled by something, causing discomfort, as if his limbs and flesh were about to be ripped off.

This situation lasted for about ten minutes. After ten minutes, when Ding Fan was able to clearly see his surroundings again, he was already outside the Human Level cave dwelling.

Outside the Human Level cave dwelling, there were crowds of people standing around. To Ding Fan, there were no fewer than a hundred martial artists. Among the crowd, he spotted Qin Min and Qu Waner, even the pure-looking girl he had seen before.

Among these hundred or so people, beside those who had entered the Human Level cave dwelling, there were also some from sects responsible for receiving them.

Not far from Ding Fan and the others, the Upper Xuan Sect had arranged a formidable formation.

"Fellow martial artists..." At this moment, a young man dressed in the garb of the Upper Xuan Sect, standing on a higher place, began to address the people who had just exited the cave.

Because the young man's voice was carried by Inner Strength, everyone present could hear him.

The Upper Xuan Sect disciple looked young, but he was already capable of projecting his voice with Inner Strength. Many people in the audience were amazed.

The crowd marvelled that indeed a great sect like the Great Gate Sect was a place where talents came in abundance; even a disciple tasked with calling out commands had such a strong cultivation.

After the Upper Xuan Sect disciple made his announcement, the previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

"I am a disciple of the Upper Xuan Sect. We have no intention of disturbing anyone or coveting your treasures. Today, we simply wish for your cooperation to find one person," the young man said arrogantly to the audience below.

"Find someone? Who are you looking for?"

"Yeah, isn't this the usual display of the Upper Xuan Sect when someone offends them?"

"Offending the Upper Xuan Sect is akin to seeking death, isn't it? They've brought six Earth Level Experts with them..."

"I think I heard someone in the Human Level cave dwelling killed one of their disciples."

"Damn, who's that daring and suicidal?"

Murmurs and private whispers ran through the crowd for a moment.

From a corner, Ding Fan watched the young disciple of the Upper Xuan Sect, fully aware they were looking for him.

Within the Human Level cave dwelling, hadn't Ding Fan indeed killed one of their Earth Level martial artists, Fanjing? Ding Fan did not expect that such a righteous and leading sect would engage in such oppressive conduct.

However, Ding Fan was not the least bit afraid. Not to mention he had already changed his appearance, rendering him unrecognizable to the Upper Xuan Sect, even without a disguise, Ding Fan was confident he could escape their pursuit.

Then, the disciple from the Upper Xuan Sect continued to speak haughtily, "If everyone cooperates with us to find the person called Ye Fan, once found, we guarantee everyone's safe departure... However, let me give a stern warning – if anyone dares to challenge us at the Upper Xuan Sect, we will not hesitate to teach you all a lesson!"

The Upper Xuan Sect disciple's tone was brimming with arrogance, and all the martial artists present showed signs of irritation.

The Upper Xuan Sect's position was flanked by six Earth Level Experts in a row, with a dozen or more Human Level disciples behind them. The speaking disciple was simply a young disciple sent by the Upper Xuan Sect to deliver a message. The audience naturally felt righteous indignation seeing such arrogance just to call out a message.

However, those present were more inclined to be angry but dared not speak out. After all, the Upper Xuan Sect was indeed too powerful.

Ding Fan had no intention of drawing attention to himself, especially as he had offended Hua Zhimo. His aim was to be as low-profile as possible.

But just as the Upper Xuan Sect disciple had not finished his speech, a figure suddenly appeared on the scene.

When Ding Fan saw the figure clearly, his eyes suddenly froze in astonishment.

The person appearing before everyone was none other than Hua Zhimo, a Heavenly Level Martial Artist, Hua Zhimo.

At this moment, Ding Fan's heart leapt to his throat. Although he was not afraid of the Upper Xuan Sect, Hua Zhimo was different. In her presence, he simply had no chance of escaping.

"Everyone, leave your storage rings behind, and then you may all scram," Hua Zhimo said indifferently upon her arrival, but the content of her speech was outrageously audacious.

The disciple from the Upper Xuan Sect who had been speaking before, now frowned deeply.

The face of this Hua Zhimo, speaking before him, had wrinkles nearly as plentiful as a steamed bun. He even wondered if Hua Zhimo might be able to kill a mosquito with her wrinkles if she smiled.

"Where did this crazy old woman come from? The Upper Xuan Sect is here, and you dare to run wild? Get lost now!" the disciple from the Upper Xuan Sect arrogantly addressed Hua Zhimo.

Hua Zhimo's eyes narrowed. "I didn't expect that the Upper Xuan Sect has become so powerful now that even a mere disciple dares to speak to me in such a manner."

Having said that, a terrifying murderous aura burst forth from Hua Zhimo.

At that moment, a chill made the more than a hundred people on the scene simultaneously feel as if there were blades on their backs...

Such a strong murderous intent!

How could Ding Fan not understand the true intention behind Hua Zhimo releasing her murderous intent at this moment? She wanted to make an intimidation here.

The disciple who had felt the terror of Hua Zhimo's murderous intent, began to back away in fear, step by step. Although he was arrogant, he was not a fool. The sheer force of her murderous aura alone was overwhelming, how could he possibly be her opponent?

Slap, slap... While the disciple from the Upper Xuan Sect was stunned, a figure suddenly darted over.

The figure reached the disciple and, without a word, delivered two slaps to his face.

The disciple from the Upper Xuan Sect was battered for a moment, his mouth dripping with blood.

However, when he saw clearly who had struck him, the disciple from the Upper Xuan Sect was even more bewildered.

The person who hit him was none other than the leader of the Upper Xuan Sect's team this time, an Earth Level Fifth Grade expert, Zhang Kaichen.

"I did not know that Senior Hua was here. My Sect's younger generation has been disrespectful, please forgive us..." Having said this, Zhang Kaicheng then addressed the disciple he had just struck.

"Aren't you going to hurry up and apologize to the senior!"

At this moment, the disciple from the Upper Xuan Sect felt wronged.

He was out speaking on behalf of the Upper Xuan Sect, yet now, not only did he have to endure a beating from his own people, but after being struck, he also had to apologize to that Old Demon...

However, though the disciple from the Upper Xuan Sect had grievances, he dared not voice them. He walked over to Hua Zhimo with perfect decorum.

"Senior..."

Just as the disciple from the Upper Xuan Sect hadn't finished speaking, Hua Zhimo's right hand swung out, and instantaneously the disciple was blasted away.

Ding Fan, watching from the corner, clearly understood that Hua Zhimo obviously disdained to speak to the disciple.

"Zhang Kaichen, it seems your Upper Xuan Sect still has some sense. Leave your storage rings behind, then all of you can go," Hua Zhimo said coldly to Zhang Kaichen.

Zhang Kaichen hesitated, then flashed an awkward smile. "Senior Hua, I am afraid that really isn't possible. After all, we are here on the orders of our Sect, and if we leave our items here, the Sect will certainly not spare us... Moreover..."

Zhang Kaichen said this while glancing at Hua Zhimo, then continued, "Moreover, given the temper of the Head of Fang Sect from the Upper Xuan Sect, he definitely won't let you off..."

"What, you think I'm afraid of your Upper Xuan Sect?" Hua Zhimo's eyebrows rose, her tone becoming heavier.

"That... that's not what I meant..."

Although Zhang Kaichen was the leader of the Upper Xuan Sect for this mission, he acted very cautiously in front of Hua Zhimo.

A Heavenly Level Martial Artist was not someone you could encounter or offend casually.

"I never repeat myself. Tell your people to throw all the storage rings on the ground, or else today I will annihilate your Upper Xuan Sect's team!" Hua Zhimo declared flatly.

However, although Hua Zhimo's tone was calm, Zhang Kaichen dared not take it lightly. Despite being able to bluff in front of others, in front of Hua Zhimo, they were nothing.

As she had said, if Hua Zhimo wanted to annihilate the disciples from the Upper Xuan Sect, it would definitely be an easy and effortless affair.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Kaichen then instructed the disciples of the Upper Xuan Sect present, "Listen up everyone, take off your storage rings!"

In front of the Human Level cave, everyone hearing Zhang Kaichen's words was taken aback.

To think that the Upper Xuan Sect, after all the first righteous Sect, faced with this old lady, did not dare to make a move, and honestly handed over their storage rings...

Ding Fan watched on with disdain.

Before Hua Zhimo arrived, the Upper Xuan Sect was extraordinarily arrogant, but after her appearance, the disciples of the Upper Xuan Sect became obedient children, readily handing over all their treasures...

This Upper Xuan Sect... was just so-so...
