Chapter 2052 - 2089: Petrified with Shock

Third Elder’s eyes immediately flashed with a look of astonishment, focusing on Ding Fan’s body, starting to scrutinize him up and down.

Ding Fan, upon noticing the gaze of the middle-aged man in the red robe, slowly nodded in his direction.

"Hello, Third Elder, my name is Ding Fan. I am the deputy beside the Sect Master!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Third Elder’s eyes flickered slightly, his mouth trembled slightly, and he slowly nodded in Ding Fan’s direction.

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s eyes shimmered slightly, and their voices immediately emerged from their mouths:

"Third Elder, please, we indeed have an important matter to discuss today!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the red robe’s eyes glimmered slightly, nodding slowly towards Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu, gesturing them to proceed.

Seeing this, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu led many disciples of the Skeleton Sect towards the direction of the great hall.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the middle-aged man in the red robe were immediately filled with anger, glaring angrily at the many disciples.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man in the red robe’s eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke with a faint voice from his mouth:

"Second Boss, Captain Xue, what are you doing?"

The middle-aged man in the red robe pointed at the many Skeleton Sect disciples following Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu and looked in their direction.

Upon hearing the words of the two, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s eyes flickered slightly, their mouths trembled slightly, and their voices immediately emerged from their mouths:

"Third Elder, don’t overthink it. This matter is of great importance, so we brought a few more brothers with us. We hope Third Elder doesn’t mind!"

"That’s right, Third Elder. We mean no harm today, and we hope you won’t mind!"

Upon hearing their words, the eyes of the middle-aged man in the red robe flickered slightly. His mouth trembled slightly as he spoke to them:

"I see... if that’s the case, Second Boss, Captain Xue, please!"

The man in the red robe gestured once more for Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu to proceed, and upon seeing this, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s eyes immediately filled with a surprised expression, nodding slowly to the man in the red robe.

Upon seeing this, Ding Fan’s eyes also flashed with a sharp gleam.

Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu pondered for a moment before slowly following the red-robed man into the great hall, with numerous Skeleton Sect disciples constantly at their sides.

Soon, Ding Fan and Zhuge Qing arrived at the great hall. As they looked at the heavy and oppressive decorations around them, Ding Fan’s eyes gradually revealed a strange gleam. He slightly tilted his mouth, and his voice immediately emerged:

"Third Elder, let’s stop here. Today, we have something very important to discuss with you!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, the eyes of the man in the red robe also filled with a look of astonishment, and he slowly nodded towards Ding Fan.

Seeing this, Ding Fan spoke with a very calm voice:

"Third Elder, we are here today to tell you something significant!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, the middle-aged man in the red robe’s eyes filled with astonishment, and his voice immediately emerged from his mouth:

"What is it?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Ding Fan’s voice immediately emerged from his mouth:

"The Sect Master is dead..."

As soon as Ding Fan uttered those words, the middle-aged man in the red robe’s eyes were immediately filled with a look of horror, staring intently at Ding Fan’s body. His mouth trembled slightly, and an extremely shocked voice immediately emerged from his mouth:

"What did you say?! The Sect Master is dead? How is this possible!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man in the red robe slowly turned his head towards Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu, wanting to verify the truth of this matter with them.

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, the heads of Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu involuntarily nodded slightly towards the middle-aged man in the red robe and said:

"That’s right, Third Elder, the Sect Master truly is dead!"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s confirmation, the Third Elder’s eyes immediately filled with a look of delight, and he stared intensely at Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu, anxiously asking:

"What exactly happened to the Sect Master? With such formidable strength, how could he die so easily!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s eyes flickered slightly, their mouths paused briefly, and their voices immediately emerged:

"The Sect Master was ambushed by someone and killed in the attack!"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s words, the middle-aged man in the red robe frowned, and his voice immediately emerged:

"An ambush? Who could have done such a thing?"

Upon hearing the red-robed man’s question, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s eyes flickered slightly. Their mouths trembled slightly, and their voices immediately emerged:

"We suspect the culprit is among the Four Great Elders..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s words, the eyes of the middle-aged man in the red robe immediately filled with a look of horror, and his voice immediately emerged:

"Among the Four Great Elders? Are Second Boss and Captain Xue suspecting me?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s mouths involuntarily curved slightly, their eyes focusing on Ding Fan.

Ding Fan slowly stepped forward, and his voice immediately emerged:

"Third Elder, you’re overthinking. We are not pursuing who the culprit is; our true goal is for the future development of our Skeleton Sect!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, the middle-aged man in the red robe’s eyes immediately filled with a look of horror, and his voice immediately emerged:

"Brother Ding, what do you mean by that? The future development of the Skeleton Sect?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Ding Fan spoke immediately:

"Third Elder, as of now, the entire Skeleton Sect is leaderless. What we’ll face, you surely understand, right?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, the eyes of the middle-aged man in the red robe flickered slightly, and his mouth trembled slightly as he spoke:

"What are we facing? Could someone be trying to seize power during this time?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Ding Fan’s mouth curved into a sinister smile, and his voice immediately emerged:

"Third Elder, you’re joking. Opportunistic chaos will indeed be noticed, but what’s most crucial is the forces outside our Skeleton Sect. They are the most terrifying ones. I think you won’t overlook this, right?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, the eyes of the middle-aged man in the red robe flickered slightly, and his mouth trembled slightly as he spoke:

"Who exactly are you?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Ding Fan slowly looked towards Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man’s gaze, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s eyes flashed with a teasing light, and their voices immediately emerged:

"Third Elder, this is the Ding Brother we are promoting this time! We will choose him as the next Sect Master of the Skeleton Sect!"

Upon hearing their words, the eyes of the middle-aged man in the red robe immediately filled with a look of horror. His incredibly shocked voice immediately emerged:

"What did you say?! You’re actually going to appoint him as the next Sect Master of the Skeleton Sect? How is this possible!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Ding Fan’s voice immediately emerged:

"Third Elder, I know your ambitions and what you have been preparing for all these years, but I want to tell you that besides me, no one can lead you through the sieges of those other forces!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, the eyes of the middle-aged man in the red robe widened with shock, filled with disbelief.
