After everyone heard Zhuge Qingâs words, a grave look surged into their eyes, and they all nodded in the direction of Ding Fan and Zhuge Qing.
When Ding Fan saw this, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and a strange gleam shot out from them.
Ding Fan slowly turned his gaze toward Zhuge Qing at his side and said very calmly:
"Brother Zhuge, why donât you first introduce to me how many factions exist within this Skeleton Sect?"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, a grave look immediately surged into his eyes, and he slowly opened his mouth toward Ding Fan:
"Brother Ding, in this Skeleton Sect there are a total of four elders, and every elder possesses extremely formidable strength. Under each elderâs command there is also a force thatâs far from weak..."
When Ding Fan heard this, a grave look also surged into his eyes, and he said very calmly:
"So, if we want to completely subdue this Skeleton Sect, weâll have to face these four elders and resolve every last one of them?"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, a grave look surged into his eyes, and he slowly nodded toward Ding Fan.
"Thatâs right, Brother Ding. Right now these Four Great Elders are the strongest existences in the entire Skeleton Sect. As long as we bring them to heel, the rest of those Skeleton lackeys wonât be a problem!"
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, a fierce gleam surged into his eyes, and a faint voice came out of his mouth:
"Since thatâs the case, I wonder, Brother Zhuge, whether you are on good terms with any of these elders?"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, a thoughtful look surged into his eyes, and he slowly spoke toward Ding Fan:
"To answer Brother Ding, although my status within this Skeleton Sect is indeed quite exalted, even with my current position Iâve only ever met three of the elders once..."
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, a look of astonishment surged into his eyes, and a faint voice came out of Ding Fanâs mouth:
"Even you have only met three of the elders?"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, a grave look surged into his eyes, and he slowly opened his mouth toward Ding Fan:
"Thatâs right, Brother Ding. These four elders are all people of absolutely peerless strength. Normally, they simply donât put juniors like us in their eyes. If it werenât for my exalted status and my own decent strength, Iâm afraid it would be difficult even to catch a glimpse of those four elders..."
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, his eyes began to flicker, the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, and a voice slowly came out of Ding Fanâs mouth:
"So thatâs how it is? Then this elder youâve never metâwhat sort of person is he?"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, his eyes flickered, the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, and Ding Fan said very calmly:
"The one Iâve never seen all this time is the Great Elder of the Skeleton Sect, Qing Tian..."
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, a look of astonishment surged into his eyes, and Ding Fan said very calmly:
"Qing Tian? What a domineering name. I wonder what sort of strength this Great Elder has?"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, his eyes flickered, the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, and a voice came out of Zhuge Qingâs mouth:
"To answer Brother Ding, this Qing Tian has always existed only in legend. Itâs said his strength is not much different from the Sect Masterâs, perhaps even surpassing him. But in the entire Skeleton Sect, those who have actually seen this Great Elder Qing Tian are extremely few!"
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, a look of surprise surged into his eyes, and a voice came out of Ding Fanâs mouth:
"So Qing Tianâs strength is actually that terrifying?"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, his eyes also flickered slightly. After pondering a bit, he slowly spoke toward Ding Fan:
"Yes. In the legends, Qing Tianâs strength is just that overwhelming. But Iâve been in the Skeleton Sect for so long and still have never seen Qing Tianâs true face..."
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, his eyes also flickered slightly. After pondering for a moment, an extremely violent surge of aura erupted from his eyes, and as that aura burst forth, an icy voice came from Ding Fanâs mouth:
"I donât care whether he props up the sky or notâheâd better not get in my way. Otherwise, I wonât spare him either!"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, his eyes flickered, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and a voice came out of Zhuge Qingâs mouth:
"Brother Ding, as for the other three elders, Iâve actually met them all. Although usually theyâre like a Divine Dragonâshowing the head but not the tailâat the very least I can make contact with each of them!"
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, he nodded his head lightly twice and slowly spoke toward Zhuge Qing:
"Brother Zhuge, how is your relationship with these three elders?"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, his eyes flickered. After pondering briefly, he slowly opened his mouth toward Ding Fanâs direction:
"To answer Brother Ding, with the other three elders, it canât be said weâre particularly close, but thereâs no problem with normal interactions between us."
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes, his gaze flickered slightly, and he said very calmly:
"If thatâs the case, things become much easier to handle..."
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, a look of astonishment surged into his eyes, and he slowly spoke toward Ding Fan:
"Brother Ding, what are you saying? My relationship with those elders isnât as close as you think... They definitely wonât be willing to stand on our side!"
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, the corner of his mouth couldnât help but slowly curl up, and he slowly spoke toward where Zhuge Qing was:
"Brother Zhuge, what do you think of the strength of these elders?"
After hearing Ding Fanâs question, Zhuge Qing couldnât help but be stunned for a moment, then slowly spoke toward Ding Fan:
"The strength of these elders is indeed quite formidable. If we could use all of them, theyâd be a considerable Power. But Ding Fan, they wonât follow our orders!"
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, he slowly spoke toward Zhuge Qing:
"Thatâs not necessarily so. I actually think we can cooperate with them a bit..."
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, a look of shock surged into his eyes, and he spoke to Ding Fan in stunned disbelief:
"Brother Ding, what did you say? Thatâs absolutely impossible! Every one of those elders is incomparably arrogant; theyâll never obey our commands!"
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, he said very calmly:
"What if Iâm the one who goes to talk to them?"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, his eyes widened, and a shocked voice burst out of Zhuge Qingâs mouth:
"Brother Ding, what did you say? You want to go negotiate with those elders? How is that possible? In their eyes, your words donât carry the slightest threat..."
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, there wasnât the slightest anger on his face. The corner of his mouth tilted up slightly, and he said very calmly:
"If we add you into the equation, within the entire Skeleton Sect, would that count as having some degree of deterrence?"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, his eyes fell into a thoughtful look, and a faint voice came from Zhuge Qingâs mouth:
"Brother Ding, even though I now have my own forces, Iâm afraid they still arenât a match for the Four Great Elders..."
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he said very calmly:
"Thatâs enough. As long as you show sufficient strength, I have confidence we can bring them all under our command!"
After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, his eyes widened, and a shocked expression burst out from Zhuge Qingâs entire body:
"Brother Ding, what are you talking about? You say youâre confident you can bring them all under usâthatâs simply impossible! Those elders all pride themselves on their high status. How could they possibly listen to your orders!"
After Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qingâs words, the corner of his mouth slowly curled into a strange arc, his lips trembled slightly, and he slowly spoke toward Zhuge Qing:
"Where thereâs a will, thereâs a way..."
A strange smile traced across Ding Fanâs lips. After Zhuge Qing heard Ding Fanâs words, a look of astonishment flashed through his eyes, and his gaze locked firmly onto Ding Fanâs body.
