Top-tier Unruly Master Chapter 2109 - 146: Far Too Unusual

Hearing Steward He’s words, Madam Yan also uncertainly said, "I can’t be certain that it’s definitely him either, but this person has a mysterious origin and yet bears no marks of a Legacy Warrior. This makes quite puzzled, and he even has a confidante who possesses the Phoenix Rebirth body, which is the heritage of the Xia Family from the Upper Realm. Plus, that confidante’s surna is also Xia. No matter how much I think about it, I just can’t understand it."

If she couldn’t understand it, then Steward He was even more baffled. He paused for a mont and asked Madam Yan, "If he truly is the heir of the Sirius Clan, how could the Sirius Clan possibly ignore it? The Sirius Clan is so powerful, they would definitely send soone. For them, a little inquiry would be enough to find Ding Fan."

"That’s also what I can’t understand; this matter is always puzzling."

Madam Yan sank into contemplation once more, and soon waved her hand, saying, "Let’s not worry about it for now. The 350,000 Black Obsidian won’t run away. With their current ability, it shouldn’t be a problem. Let’s consider it as giving him a favor first. If he really is the heir of the Sirius Clan, then this favor would be worth a lot."

Ding Fan had no idea what Madam Yan was thinking. He simply obtained 210,000 Black Obsidian, completed all matters with Steward He, and then purchased so Yuan Multiplying Pills before returning to the inn where he rested with Wu Qingxia. After telling Wu Qingxia about all these matters, she was overjoyed.

But soon her expression changed to one of concern. After a pause, she asked Ding Fan, "Ding Fan, do you think this Madam Yan has taken a liking to you? Otherwise, why would she give you such a big favor?"

Hearing Wu Qingxia’s words, Ding Fan couldn’t help but roll his eyes, a black line appearing on his face, as he said to Wu Qingxia, "What are you thinking? She’s a lady of the Daozhen Family, and I’m just an insignificant nobody. How could soone like her take a fancy to ?"

After listening to Ding Fan’s words, Wu Qingxia thought he made sense, and her mood improved. Thinking that in a few days there would be eleven Tigertooth Apes to protect Xinkai Island, a smile naturally appeared on her face, as if she could already see a powerful Skeleton Sect.

The two stayed at the inn for another entire day. Not until midnight did they take a Teleportation Array back to Moon Mist Island. The city gates were still closed, just like last ti, so they again found an inn to cultivate until dawn. When the city gates opened, they left the city. Before reaching the pier, they were already being eagerly awaited and chased down by the Fourth Elder and the others. Hearing about Ding Fan’s adventure at the Daozhen Trade Firm, they were all so excited that they almost shed tears.

The Skeleton Sect and Wu Family, at their strongest, combined had only three Third Level experts from the Divine Realm. Now suddenly, there were eleven Third Level servants. It was like dreaming, making it hard for them to believe it was real.

The way everyone looked at Ding Fan was even more different now. At this mont, Ding Fan could be said to be the savior of the Skeleton Sect. The Fourth Elder was especially respectful towards Ding Fan, almost wishing to worship him. Now, he was more important than the sect leader, Wu Qingxia.

Upon returning to Xinkai Island, the Second Elder and others, upon hearing the news, were also overjoyed. Although the consumption of the Tigertooth Apes was enormous, with Ding Fan on Xinkai Island, the Crimson Fla Bodhi could be continuously produced, and thus Black Obsidian would also be continuously produced. The strength of the Skeleton Sect would soon be restored to its forr glory, or even greater, and all of this was thanks to Ding Fan. Thus everyone decided that they absolutely could not let Ding Fan leave.

Ding Fan, however, didn’t care about these things. He left the main altar of the Skeleton Sect, obtained so Yuan Multiplying Pills from Wu Qingxia for cultivation use, and went back to Tieling to cultivate alone. For him, even with a hundred Tigertooth Apes, it would be of little use. His own strength was insufficient; relying solely on external forces was not enough.

Even if there were really a hundred Tigertooth Apes on Xinkai Island, it would only be a third-grade power like the Tie Family. If other forces sent a Fourth Level expert from the Divine Realm, they could annihilate all the Tigertooth Apes instantly. Thus, having many Tigertooth Apes was not useful; becoming strong oneself was the true path.

If he wasn’t strong enough, even with a troop of Tigertooth Apes, those powerful Royal Families wouldn’t look up to him, and he would still be unable to rescue Xia ngqing and would never beco a powerful person.

When Ding Fan asked for Yuan Multiplying Pills, who on the island would have any objections? Not only did they have no objections, but they were also even delighted. The stronger Ding Fan beca with his cultivation zeal, the stronger the Skeleton Sect would beco. So the Second Elder and Wu Qingxia discussed the matter and imdiately sent soone to Moon Mist Island to buy all kinds of dicine Pills for Ding Fan.

Of course, they were still quite heartbroken because they bought a lot of Spiritual Materials for the Tigertooth Apes to eat. These Tigertooth Apes only eat Spiritual Materials and nothing else. One Tigertooth Ape consus Spiritual Materials worth twenty Black Obsidian a day. For eleven of them, that’s 220 Black Obsidian, and in ten days that’s 2,200, and a month is... If there’s no replenishnt of Black Obsidian, the Skeleton Sect would soon be consud by these Tigertooth Apes.

Tie Haijiao was heavily injured by Ding Fan, and the Tie Family would eventually co for revenge. Moreover, Ding Fan’s recent sale of 7,000 Crimson Fla Bodhis to the Daozhen Trade Firm would undoubtedly impact the market for Crimson Fla Bodhis. If the Tie Family knew, how could they let the Skeleton Sect go? The conflict between the two sides was reaching a fever pitch, and a great battle seed unavoidable.

To save their skins, the Second Elder and others had no choice. They could only endure the heartache and raise these Tigertooth Apes. They had to ensure the security of Xinkai Island before considering anything else. Without life, what’s the discussion about Black Obsidian?

As for the strengthening of the Skeleton Sect, that can only be addressed in the future.

Just like that, in the midst of everyone’s anxiety, eight days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, a mysterious person arrived at Xinkai Island. Instead of seeking out Wu Qingxia and the Second Elder, he went straight to find Ding Fan who was cultivating in the wooden house at Tieling.

The person who arrived was Steward He. In just eight days, the Daozhen Trade Firm had managed to prepare eleven Tigertooth Apes, an impressive speed indeed. What’s more, Steward He assured Ding Fan that absolutely no one would know about the eleven Tigertooth Apes on Xinkai Island.

It was no surprise to Ding Fan that Steward He could find him. The Daozhen Trade Firm was founded by Master Daozhen, whose real na is He Daozhen. Steward He shares the surna He, and they belong to the first family in Tianmu Sea. Finding a small Ding Fan was hardly a challenge for them.

Ding Fan asked Steward He to send all eleven Tigertooth Apes to Tieling. After a brief chat, Steward He took his leave, coming and going swiftly. No one on the island noticed, demonstrating that Steward He was an extraordinary presence.

Ding Fan called for Wu Qingxia, the Second Elder, and others, notifying them of the arrival of the Tigertooth Apes. The ssenger swiftly departed.

Soon, everyone who received the news arrived. Under the night sky, they gazed at the eleven ape-like creatures with tiger teeth protruding from their mouths. Each person was thrilled and excited, knowing this constituted the hope for the rise of the Skeleton Sect.

These Tigertooth Apes had already been soul-controlled and trained. Each one possessed a talisman, which, once refined, would render the ape submissive to its master, unconditionally following orders, even to the extent of committing suicide if instructed.

Steward He handed over all eleven talismans to Ding Fan, who didn’t keep any and handed them directly over to Wu Qingxia. Effortlessly, Wu Qingxia refined the talismans. She controlled one Tigertooth Ape and sparred with the Second Elder, who was an interdiate-level Second Level Divine Realm expert, yet surprisingly could not withstand even one move from the ape.

The Tigertooth Apes’ moves were simple, relying mostly on speed to win. They possessed sharp claws on their hands and were incredibly fast. Once they grasped their target, they would bite with their tiger teeth. If Wu Qingxia hadn’t reacted swiftly, the Second Elder might have been killed by either the claw or the bite.

Witnessing the formidable combat power of the Tigertooth Apes, everyone was even more excited. They believed the Skeleton Sect was no longer a pushover and, with these eleven Tigertooth Apes, had firmly established themselves in Tianmu Sea.

The Second Elder, Wu Qingxia, and others decided to first hide the Tigertooth Apes away, ensuring that no information about them leaked out. Should war break out, these Tigertooth Apes could serve as a secret weapon.

Revealing the existence of these Tigertooth Apes too early wouldn’t be beneficial, as their value would make others wary of the Skeleton Sect. Given the sect’s current situation, keeping them hidden was the better choice.

Ding Fan wasn’t concerned with any of this. He only had one request—that the Tigertooth Apes’ dwelling be built not too close to him. As long as they didn’t disturb his cultivation, he didn’t mind.

With an order from Wu Qingxia, the Second Elder and Fourth Elder led the Skeleton Sect to busily construct two underground fortresses within Tieling, housing the Tigertooth Apes, while outwardly claiming it was Ding Fan’s cultivation place, barring anyone from entering on pain of death. With this order, Ding Fan’s residence was left undisturbed.

Now with the power to defend Xinkai Island, the Second Elder planned to expand their plantation scale. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he found a new dicine field situated between the canyon and Tieling where Ding Fan resided. It was another large canyon, several tis bigger than the previous one, ideal for extensive cultivation of Crimson Fla Bodhi.

Simultaneously, the Second Elder frequently traveled to Moon Mist Island to socialize with influential figures from the Xu Family, generously gifting Black Obsidian. His generosity allowed him to establish connections with several influential Xu Family elders.

The Skeleton Sect’s elders understood the Second Elder’s motives; he was preparing for potential conflict with the Tie Family. As the Tie Family had a deep-rooted presence in the area, he didn’t expect the Xu Family to support the Skeleton Sect, just to remain neutral would suffice.

With the dicine fields prepared, batches of Blood Oxen were bought and a multitude of various Spiritual Materials and Spiritual dicines were acquired. The Skeleton Sect’s families from Great Python Mountain were brought over, and Elder Wu Ren found so forr sect disciples from the battle at Great Python Mountain who had escaped, bringing renewed activity to Xinkai Island.

The Tie Family was increasingly feeling uneasy, sensing that sothing unusual was happening.

Xinkai Island was within the Tie Family Island’s sphere of influence, so they could hardly be unaware of the changes occurring there, especially with nearly a hundred Blood Oxen stationed at the seaside, impossible to hide—and certainly noticed by the Tie Family’s Scout Cavalry.
