"Brother Ding, now that the Skeleton Sect is leaderless, thereâs certainly no issue if you wish to claim it. However, the most crucial point is that the Skeptons are still considered Third-Class Peak Forces. How can we ensure that everyone will heed our commands with just a few of us?"
Upon hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs lips slowly lifted into a smile, and he spoke to Zhuge Qing with a teasing tone:
"This will depend on your boldness, Brother Zhuge..."
After listening to Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes were filled with astonishment. Embarrassment appeared on his face, and his mouth trembled slightly as he spoke to Ding Fan with difficulty:
"Brother Ding, within the Skeleton Sect, my status isnât particularly high; besides, other elders in the sect also covet the position of sect leader, and their power is quite formidable!"
When Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, his eyes instantly flashed sharply, and he teasingly said to Zhuge Qing:
"What if I told you that dealing with these elders is entirely up to me?"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes flashed sharply as he solemnly addressed Ding Fan:
"Brother Ding, if thatâs the case, I do have some confidence!"
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs lips couldnât help but slowly curve into a smile. Xia Ling, having overheard the conversation between Ding Fan and Zhuge Qing, was filled with astonishment. She said to Ding Fan in disbelief:
"Brother Ding, what did you say? Youâre actually considering making the Skeleton Sect your own? How is this possible?! The power of the Skeleton Sect has always been coveted by other Third-Class forces. If you claim the Skeleton Sect, the other powers will certainly not let things rest!"
Upon hearing Xia Lingâs words, Ding Fanâs lips slowly curved as he spoke slowly to Xia Ling:
"Do you really think that establishing your own force would make other forces willing to let you be?"
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Xia Lingâs eyes flickered slightly, and after a momentâs reflection, she slowly nodded at Ding Fan.
Seeing Xia Lingâs expression, Ding Fanâs eyes flashed brightly, and he spoke slowly to Xia Ling:
"Since they wonât spare us no matter what, why donât we take the initiative and first incorporate the Skeleton Sect into our fold?"
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Xia Lingâs eyes also flashed brightly, and she spoke to Ding Fan with sudden realization:
"Brother Ding, if thatâs the case, I think we are sure to seize control of the Skeleton Sect. Luckily, we have Brother Zhuge as our ally, and it seems that it wonât take long for the Skeleton Sect to become our force!"
After hearing Xia Lingâs words, Ding Fanâs lips slowly curved into a smile as he laughed and said to Xia Ling:
"Exactly. Now that the Skeleton Sect is leaderless, we should seize the opportunity. If we fail to grasp this chance, the Skeleton Sect may soon be taken by other forces, and capturing it afterward would be just a pipe dream..."
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Xia Ling nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Zhuge Qingâs eyes flashed sharply upon hearing this. He spoke to Ding Fan slowly:
"Brother Ding, since thatâs the case, letâs hurry and set off. The thought of owning our own force fills me with uncontrollable excitement."
Upon hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs eyes slowly narrowed as he nodded at Zhuge Qing, speaking very casually:
"Excellent. In that case, letâs hurry and set off. I too am curious to see just how formidable these Third-Class forces within the Divine Realm truly are."
Listening to Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes flashed sharply. When Ding Fan saw this, a faint light appeared in his eyes.
Before long, led by Zhuge Qing, Ding Fan and the group quickly moved toward the location of the Skeleton Sect. The scene moved swiftly around them like the wind, accompanied by an ear-piercing whistle. Ding Fan gazed at the rapidly shifting surroundings, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Brother Zhuge, is the Skeleton Sectâs camp hidden in this desolate mountain?"
Gazing at the barren mountain hollow before him, Ding Fanâs eyes filled with astonishment. His mouth lifted slightly, and Ding Fan spoke nonchalantly to everyone.
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes were filled with amazement, as he addressed Ding Fan:
"You are correct, Brother Ding. The Skeleton Sect is indeed hidden within this desolate mountain. Although the Skeleton Sect is considered a Third-Class Peak Force within the Divine Realm, its ruthless actions have earned the resentment of many powerful beings, which is why its camp is hidden in this desolate mountain."
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs eyes revealed a look of realization as he spoke slowly to Zhuge Qing:
"Brother Zhuge, is there anyone else powerful within the Skeleton Sect?"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes flashed fiercely, and he spoke slowly to Ding Fan:
"Brother Ding, besides the sect leader, there are indeed others of considerable power within the Skeleton Sect. Though their strength does not match the sect leader, from my observation, they are not far off..."
Upon hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs eyes flashed with astonishment, as he questioned inquisitively:
"If thatâs the case, the Skeleton Sect truly harbors several skilled individuals..."
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes were filled with seriousness as he spoke slowly to Ding Fan:
"Brother Ding is right, though these elders have rifts amongst themselves and are not as united as they might appear!"
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs eyes flashed as he spoke slowly to Zhuge Qing:
"If thatâs the case, we can certainly work with these elders. Moreover, with their formidable abilities, they can serve as pillars of strength for our new force!"
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qing nodded twice and, after a moment of reflection, spoke in agreement:
"Brother Ding is absolutely right. Such talent shouldnât be squandered excessively. Rest assured, Iâve also accumulated quite a network within the Skeleton Sect, initially meant to counter the sect leader. But it seems it wonât be necessary now..."
Upon hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs lips slowly curved into a smile, and he nonchalantly addressed everyone:
"Then let Brother Zhuge show us the network youâve accumulated over time!"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qingâs face showed some embarrassment as he slowly nodded to Ding Fan.
While talking, Zhuge Qing led Ding Fan and the others toward a mound behind the desolate mountain. Upon seeing this, Xia Lingâs eyes were filled with surprise as she exclaimed to Ding Fan and Zhuge Qing:
"This mound is so peculiar! I feel like thereâs some kind of inexplicable tremor coming from it..."
Upon hearing Xia Lingâs words, Zhuge Qingâs eyes were filled with amazement as he uncertainly addressed her:
"Xia Ling, have you found something unusual here?"
Seeing Zhuge Qingâs expression, Xia Lingâs eyes were also filled with surprise as she spoke slowly to Zhuge Qing:
"Yes, I always feel as if something exists behind this mound..."
Upon hearing Xia Ling and Zhuge Qingâs conversation, Ding Fanâs eyes flashed as he questioned Zhuge Qing with curiosity:
"Brother Zhuge, how about it? Is there anything amiss?"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs question, Zhuge Qingâs expression finally reacted, looking toward Ding Fan with hesitation before speaking slowly:
"Brother Ding, you may not know, but beyond this mound lies the main base of our Skeleton Sect, where the sect leader himself has established a setup. It is impossible for ordinary people to detect this place!"
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs eyes flashed with surprise. His gaze turned to Xia Ling as he slowly asked:
"Xia Ling, how did you notice something unusual about this mound?"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs question, Xia Lingâs eyes also filled with uncertainty as she slowly shook her head towards Ding Fan.
"I donât know, I just feel like there is an inexplicable tremor coming from this mound..."
