Top-tier Unruly Master
Chapter 1966 - 2003: Selecting a Secret Passage
At this moment, as Ding Fan listened to everyone’s words, a gleam flashed in his eyes. His gaze flickered slightly, and he slowly spoke to everyone:
"Alright! Since that’s the case, let’s split up and act separately for now!"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a solemn expression emerged in everyone’s eyes. Their gaze flickered slightly, and they all nodded slowly at Ding Fan.
At this moment, Xia Ling, standing nearby, also had a gleam flash in her eyes upon hearing Ding Fan’s words. Her gaze flickered slightly, and she slowly spoke to Ding Fan:
"Brother Ding, I’ll go with you!"
Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan nodded softly twice. To be honest, if Xia Ling were to go alone, Ding Fan would be quite worried.
Just as Xia Ling finished speaking, the Yuan brothers came over and slowly spoke to Ding Fan with a sigh:
"Brother Ding, we will also go with you!"
Hearing the Yuan brothers’ words, Ding Fan looked surprised. His gaze flickered slightly, and he slowly spoke to them:
"You should act separately. That way, you can find treasures that suit you!"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, the Yuan brothers shook their heads vigorously, paused, and then slowly spoke to Ding Fan:
"No, Brother Ding, you saved our lives. From today on, we will stay by your side!"
Hearing their words, Ding Fan couldn’t help but show a helpless expression. His gaze flickered slightly, and he slowly said to the two:
"In that case, you two can stay by my side!"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a look of surprise instantly appeared in the eyes of the Yuan brothers. Their lips trembled slightly, and they spoke excitedly to Ding Fan:
"Thank you, Brother Ding!"
Hearing their words, Ding Fan couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly twice.
While Ding Fan and the Yuan brothers were conversing, everyone else had chosen their paths. After exchanging glances, everyone disappeared from where they stood.
Ding Fan looked at the disappearing figures around him, let out a sigh of relief, and then slowly spoke to Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers by his side:
"It’s time for us to choose a path to take!"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers immediately showed a solemn expression in their eyes. Their gaze flickered slightly, and they all nodded at Ding Fan.
Xia Ling looked at Ding Fan beside her, paused, and then slowly asked him:
"Brother Ding, which path do you think we should take?"
Upon hearing Xia Ling’s question, Ding Fan’s expression flickered slightly, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He then spoke faintly to Xia Ling:
"I don’t know either..."
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling looked astonished. Her gaze flickered slightly, and she spoke to Ding Fan in shock:
"You don’t know? Brother Ding, you haven’t even chosen a path yet?"
As he listened to Xia Ling, a slight curve appeared on Ding Fan’s lips. He paused briefly, then gave Xia Ling a mysterious smile. A faint voice slowly emerged from Ding Fan’s mouth:
"I may not know, but that doesn’t mean the sword in my hand doesn’t!"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes widened, revealing a shocked expression. She looked at Ding Fan incredulously and said:
"Your sword knows? Brother Ding, are you messing with me? How could your iron sword know which path we should take?"
Hearing Xia Ling’s words, a gleam flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes. His gaze flickered slightly, and he quietly said to Xia Ling:
"Just watch!"
As he spoke, Ding Fan slowly raised the iron sword in his hand. When he lifted the sword, extremely sharp Sword Qi erupted from it, causing the blade to tremble slightly.
Strange Sword Qi emanated from the iron sword, and upon seeing this, Xia Ling’s eyes filled with astonishment.
But before Xia Ling could fully process her shock, Ding Fan exerted a little force in his hand, and an immense power burst forth from him.
As this power exploded, Ding Fan hurled the iron sword fiercely from his hands.
At this moment, after the iron sword in Ding Fan’s hand was thrown out, it paused for a split second in the sky and then the entire blade shot out instantly.
Carrying with it a fierce Sword Qi, the iron sword vanished from its original place in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, Xia Ling’s eyes filled with astonishment, her gaze flickered slightly, and she said to Ding Fan in shock:
"What... what exactly happened?"
And before Xia Ling could finish speaking, Ding Fan’s body also disappeared instantly, darting toward a dark secret passage.
Before Xia Ling could react, Ding Fan was already pulling her along to run quickly. At this moment, the Yuan brothers were also closely following Ding Fan, fearing they might lose him.
The iron sword in the sky, like a stone pillar, instantly appeared at the entrance of the secret passage, with bursts of extremely sharp Sword Qi emanating from it.
Ding Fan arrived before the iron sword, reached out and slowly held it in his hand, his eyes full of pride.
"This is the secret passage we need to go through!"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s mouth instantly dropped open, her mouth trembling slightly, and she said to Ding Fan in shock:
"This... this is really the secret passage we need to take, how is this possible?! Brother Ding, could it be that this is the feeling your iron sword gives you?"
Hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s mouth slowly curled into a smile, pausing slightly, then said to Xia Ling slowly:
"That’s right, the feeling my iron sword gives is usually very accurate!"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes instantly widened in disbelief, her gaze flickered slightly, and she said to Ding Fan in shock:
"Brother Ding, no way! The iron sword is just a weapon, how could it give you such a feeling?!"
Hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s mouth slowly curled into a smile, pausing slightly, then said to Xia Ling slowly:
"My iron sword is not just an ordinary weapon, you will understand in time..."
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a faint look of incomprehension flashed through Xia Ling’s eyes, her gaze flickering slightly, and she nodded to Ding Fan.
Seeing Xia Ling’s expression, Ding Fan’s mouth also slowly curled into a smile, pausing slightly, then he said to Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers beside him:
"Next, let’s see how this secret passage chosen by the iron sword fares!"
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers both nodded, their eyes full of agreement.
Seeing the brothers’ responses, a hint of helplessness flashed through Ding Fan’s eyes, his gaze flickered slightly, and then he moved into the dark secret passage.
Upon seeing Ding Fan enter, Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers followed him inside.
As Ding Fan entered the passage, the pitch-black surroundings instantly plunged everyone into darkness. Ding Fan’s brow slowly furrowed as a wave of power erupted from him.
When this wave burst forth, the pitch-black space of the passage instantly lit up. Seeing the empty passage around them, a hint of disappointment appeared in Xia Ling’s eyes, her gaze flickering slightly, and she said to Ding Fan slowly:
"Brother Ding, there doesn’t seem to be any treasure here! Could your iron sword have made a mistake?"
Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s mouth slowly curled into a smile, pausing slightly, then said to Xia Ling slowly:
"Don’t worry, the Sirius Tomb is vast. Let’s continue ahead and see."
Hearing Ding Fan’s words, a thoughtful expression flashed through Xia Ling’s eyes, her gaze flickering slightly, and she nodded to Ding Fan.
Looking at Xia Ling beside him, Ding Fan’s mouth curled into a smile, his steps paused slightly, and then he gently stepped forward. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
As Ding Fan stepped forward, the passage around them slowly illuminated. The surrounding chambers were empty, as if there was nothing at all in the passage.
Seeing this, a look of astonishment filled Xia Ling’s eyes, her gaze flickering slightly, and she said to Ding Fan slowly:
"Brother Ding, there seems to be nothing here in the passage, could we have taken the wrong path?"
Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, a gleam flashed through Ding Fan’s eyes, his gaze flickering slightly, and he said to Xia Ling slowly:
"The iron sword wouldn’t be wrong; there’s definitely some powerful treasure here..."
Hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s gaze flickered slightly, her mouth curling up slightly, and she nodded to Ding Fan.
Not long after, Ding Fan, Xia Ling, and the others slowly walked deep into the passage, with other path entrances connecting around.
What lay before Ding Fan and the others was an empty wall, and upon seeing this, Ding Fan’s brow couldn’t help but furrow slowly.
