At this mont, not only Ding Fan noticed the scar-faced man; He Qianyao and the others naturally also noticed the scar-faced man. As everyone watched the scar-faced man walk up to the second floor, they all imdiately released their divine sense, wanting to eavesdrop on the conversation above. However, to everyone's perplexity, when He Qianyao and the others tried to use their divine sense to observe the situation upstairs, they couldn't glean anything, which left them feeling quite despondent.
"There's an isolation formation above; I can't hear anything." At this mont, He Qianyao couldn't help but speak with so frustration.
Clearly, He Qianyao had no way to deal with the isolation formation, and her divine sense couldn't hear any sound from above. At this ti, Ye Ningbing couldn't help but shake her head and said:
"I can't hear it either."
Then, two young divine warriors couldn't help but also show faces of disappointnt, clearly indicating they had no ans to deal with the isolation formation above.
"Everyone, continue eating; leave the matters above to . I'm very curious to see what that fake Ding Fan is trying to do."
At this mont, Ding Fan looked at everyone and couldn't help but reveal a slightly teasing smile, saying.
Hearing Ding Fan's words, everyone couldn't help but feel startled. They hadn't expected that Ding Fan could ignore the isolation formation; how exactly did he do it? Everyone truly believed Ding Fan wasn't boasting, especially since he had already demonstrated his extraordinary divine sense ability before, so they trusted him.
Subsequently, He Qianyao and the others began eating. Although cultivators with their level of cultivation didn't really need food, they were putting on a show to protect their true motives at this ti. anwhile, Ding Fan was itching to eavesdrop on the conversation of the cultivators upstairs, wanting to find out what kind of existence this imposter Ding Fan really was.
...
"Young Hero Ding, it's been a while. How have you been?"
In a room with exceptionally distinctive decor, the young lady from the City Lord Mansion greeted the scar-faced man with great politeness.
"I'm doing okay. The most taboo are those sects hunting down relentlessly. Typically, I wouldn't show myself unless there's sothing crucial; it's only because Miss Gu personally extended an invitation that I'm here; otherwise, I wouldn't have co."
The scar-faced man wore an indifferent expression but seed to exude a sharp aura. Although his cultivation was only at the early Nascent Soul Stage, he gave off an impression of profound depth, making it difficult to gauge his cards. This was particularly true for Ding Fan, who was observing in secret; he found this impostor of himself especially intriguing, as if there was a hint of his mystery.
However, what the young lady Gu and others might not know was that Ding Fan was very aware that the person in front of them was just a fake, likely performing the air of mystery as part of the act. At tis Ding Fan couldn't fathom it, knowing full well there were already many rumors about himself; of course, many cultivators would want to kill him, but still, there were people impersonating him. As they say, 'fortune and success are found in the midst of danger.'
"Oh? Go on, I'm listening."
The scar-faced man's eyes flickered upon hearing the young lady's words, followed by a faint smile as he asked.
Upon hearing the scar-faced man's words, the young lady began to speak, her eyes occasionally filled with so anger and determination.
"We all know, Young Hero Ding, your greatest enemy is the Wild Wolf Gang that destroyed the Dayang Sect. It so happens that the enemy of our Pine Stone City is also the Wild Wolf Gang. That ans we have the sa enemy, so we are sort of half-friends, aren't we? Our Pine Stone City, especially the City Lord Mansion, has decided to launch a war against the Dayang Sect, so we hope to have Young Hero Ding's participation. After all, Young Hero Ding's reputation is already known worldwide; with your involvent, our overall strength would certainly be much stronger. That way, we can jointly confront the Wild Wolf Gang, and for you, Young Hero Ding, you could also take revenge for the Dayang Sect!"
The young lady finished speaking, looking at Ding Fan, clearly wanting to know what Ding Fan ant by this.
The scar-faced man heard the girl's words and couldn't help but laugh for a mont. Then, as if amused, he said to the girl:
"Haha... Miss Gu is truly eloquent, indeed a skilled negotiator. But, as far as I know, so facts don't quite match what you've been saying, Miss Gu."
At this mont, the girl heard the scar-faced man's words and couldn't help but frown slightly. Her eyes seed a bit cunning as she looked at him. Indeed, this man was not simple, quite extraordinary. This made her even more convinced that he was truly Ding Fan.
The scar-faced man paused before speaking, not waiting for the girl to respond, and continued:
"As I know, your Pine Stone City's City Lord Mansion has offended a Great Elder from the Wild Wolf Gang. Obviously, that Great Elder sees your Pine Stone City as a thorn in his side. There are already rumors that the Wild Wolf Gang plans to make a move against your City Lord Mansion soon. I suppose your City Lord Mansion won't have an easy ti then. You have to understand that the Wild Wolf Gang is no ordinary group. Even the Dayang Sect was wiped out by them. Do you think with just a City Lord Mansion, Miss Gu, you can resist them?"
At this ti, Ding Fan used his Divine Sense to observe, and it was clear that he seed to understand so of their purposes—this was a negotiation. Pine Stone City most likely wanted him to help them, or rather, they wanted the imposter posing as him to help.
The girl was stunned upon hearing the scar-faced man's words. She hadn't expected him to investigate so thoroughly. Originally, she had planned to use so diplomatic strategies, but it was no longer possible. The girl said with a sowhat bitter expression:
"Since Young Master Ding already knows, let's be frank. I suppose since you ca here today and understand us so well, what are your conditions? Just na them."
The scar-faced man burst into hearty laughter upon hearing her words.
"Straightforward! Then I'll get to the point. Give a hundred Pure Yin Infants, and I'll help you deal with the Wild Wolf Gang!"
The girl was stunned upon hearing his words, completely surprised. Although she had never t Ding Fan, she had heard many legends about him. She originally imagined Ding Fan to be a very righteous cultivator. She expected he might ask for so precious Spiritual Materials or dicine Pills. She thought that even if her City Lord Mansion did not have those, they would find a way to procure them for him. But he requested a hundred Pure Yin Infants, obviously for cultivation. With this kind of cultivation, the lives of those hundred Pure Yin Infants would be forfeited. The girl knew of so Evil Cultivators and had heard of such cultivation thods.
Clearly, her heart was full of loathing for such Evil Cultivators, but she never thought the legendary Ding Fan would be one of them. This situation was not so simple.
After all, she was from the City Lord Mansion, and her father was the Lord of Pine Stone City, a cultivator who cared deeply for his people. Ding Fan's request would absolutely not be agreed to by her father. In her heart, she also strongly rejected it. But now the situation was urgent, just as the other party had ntioned, and the Wild Wolf Gang would soon take action. Her City Lord Mansion definitely couldn't stand against the Wild Wolf Gang.
It was known that Ding Fan was exceptionally powerful. If he joined the City Lord Mansion, they might have so hope. Most importantly, the Wild Wolf Gang was extraordinarily powerful, being the largest Sect in the northeastern area of the Donglai Continent. As just a City Lord Mansion, no other force was willing to help them oppose the Wild Wolf Gang, nor were any mighty forces willing to assist them. Currently, Ding Fan was seemingly the most suitable candidate, but the demand was excessive.
"So, what do you say, Miss Gu?"
At this mont, the scar-faced man looked at her with confidence, noticing she had been deliberating for quite a while. The scar-faced man naturally saw her hesitation and continued:
"You must know, I am Ding Fan. I'm sure Miss Gu has heard quite a lot about my reputation. Now I think it's necessary to tell you. Miss Gu should have heard of the Four Seas Sect. You know that the Four Seas Sect is a trusted ally of the Wild Wolf Gang, having received many benefits from them. The strength of the Four Seas Sect is impressive, with their Sect Leader being a divine warrior and many Great Elders having Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation. The weakest are only at Nascent Soul Mid Stage, which is much stronger than your City Lord Mansion. But to , they were nothing, all too easy. I wiped them out entirely. As for those minor Sects, I won't even ntion them one by one. I can say this: although the Wild Wolf Gang is formidable, they're definitely not beyond my capability. Back when the Dayang Sect was massacred, I simply hadn't had enough ti to mature, but now things are quite different. I believe you should have a clear understanding of my strength now."
The scar-faced man continued to speak fervently, continuing:
"Don't be fooled by my appearance, which seems to be only at the Nascent Soul Stage, but anyone who thinks I'm weak can try . Do you want to try? Haha..."
The scar-faced man imdiately burst into laughter, then looked mockingly at the people around the girl.
At this mont, seeing this scene through his Divine Sense, Ding Fan couldn't help but feel a sweat drop in his heart. Ding Fan had a clear look at the scar-faced man, who was only an Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. If he had any strength, it was probably so particularly powerful Runes, which wouldn't stand a chance against him. Ding Fan even believed that an ordinary Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator could easily defeat the scar-faced man. Even the middle-aged man who had been blown away by his previous Wind Blade could defeat the scar-faced man.
But Ding Fan knew that with the scar-faced man flaunting his na and such a performance, no one would dare to try. At this mont, Ding Fan found it a bit amusing—what a capable actor!
