Upon hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs brow slowly furrowed, and he said softly:
"At the moment, I can only glean limited information from the dossier, and I canât yet ascertain the true strength of the Great Elder. But his power is indeed incredibly frightening..."
The people around, upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, exhibited a touch of astonishment in their eyes, each gaze filled with concern when looking at Ding Fan.
Zhuge Qing, after hearing this, had a momentary flicker of uncertainty in his eyes, and a faint tremble at the corners of his mouth, as a soft voice escaped:
"Brother Ding, itâs hard to imagine the Great Elderâs power has reached such a level. What should we do next?"
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs eyes also flickered slightly, and after a brief contemplation, he replied coldly:
"No rush, let me first find out where exactly the Great Elder is hiding!"
The people around him showed a spark of surprise upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, their eyes fixed entirely on Ding Fanâs figure.
"Brother Ding is right. Our immediate priority is to determine the Great Elderâs whereabouts!"
"We are in the open, while the Great Elder is in the shadows, which is very disadvantageous to our situation!"
The murmurs filled with concern echoed among the crowd looking towards Ding Fan.
Upon hearing the crowdâs words, Ding Fanâs eyes slowly narrowed as he responded softly:
"If we want to know where the Great Elder and Fourth Elder went, it seems we have to find clues from these dossiers!"
With that said, a sharp glint emerged in Ding Fanâs eyes, which were fixed firmly on those dossiers.
The people around, upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, nodded slowly, their eyes filled with a solemn light.
Not long after, Ding Fan led the group in a thorough search, their eyes filled with seriousness.
In a hidden corner, a plain old slip of paper lay quietly, with the dust stirred as disciples of the Skeleton Sect passed by.
It seemed everyone was indifferent to this piece of paper, but as Ding Fan inspected the area, his eyes happened to catch a glimpse of it, instilling a flash of surprise in his gaze.
A soft exclamation escaped from Ding Fanâs mouth, his eyes flickering slightly as he moved towards the direction of the paper.
Upon reaching the paperâs location, a flash of surprise formed in Ding Fanâs eyes, as he bent down to pick up the paper.
Holding the paper, Ding Fanâs eyes narrowed again, a touch of surprise evident.
"Could this... possibly indicate the Great Elderâs location?"
The people around, upon seeing Ding Fanâs expression, had a similar flash of surprise and asked with curiosity:
"Brother Ding, have you discovered something?"
After hearing their words, Ding Fan slowly turned his head and responded softly:
"I seem to have found the Great Elderâs location..."
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qing was also surprised, as he softly exclaimed:
"Brother Ding, are you saying this paper details the Great Elderâs position?"
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fan handed the piece of paper to Zhuge Qing.
Zhuge Qing, receiving the paper from Ding Fan, had a puzzled expression as his eyes locked onto the paper.
Zhuge Qing furrowed his brow slowly, a faint tremble at his mouth, as a soft voice emerged:
"This... seems to be near Great Python Mountain."
Speaking this, Zhuge Qingâs head immediately lifted, his eyes stared directly at Ding Fan, curious words escaped:
"Brother Ding, are you suggesting theyâre hiding near Great Python Mountain?!"
After hearing Zhuge Qingâs words, Ding Fanâs eyes narrowed further, as he replied softly:
"Thatâs right, if you look at the map on this paper, there are many special marks. This place seems particularly crucial for the Fourth Elder, and in the Skeleton Sect, only the Great Elder could make this location so memorable for him!"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qing nodded lightly, his eyes filled with contemplation.
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, the people around exhibited surprise, and exclaimed in awe:
"Brother Ding, have we found the Great Elderâs direction?"
"As long as we locate the Great Elder, we will surely find a way to deal with him!"
After hearing these words, Ding Fan nodded lightly, and replied softly:
"Regardless of whether this is the Great Elderâs location, it is certainly of significant importance to the Fourth Elder!"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu both nodded, remarking softly:
"Brother Ding, so whatâs our next step?"
After hearing their words, Ding Fanâs eyes flickered slightly, his lips trembling faintly as he responded:
"First, consolidate our forces and proceed towards Great Python Mountain!"
After hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu nodded, while the Third Elder, upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, also exhibited a flicker in his gaze, commenting quietly:
"Brother Ding, then we should hurry and prepare, the Great Elder might come for us sooner than expected!"
Smiling slightly upon hearing the Third Elder, Ding Fan replied softly:
"The Third Elder is right, but since we know their location, perhaps itâs best if we take the initiative!"
Hearing these words, the Third Elder was surprised, asking:
"Brother Ding, do you have confidence against the Great Elder?"
Smiling slightly, Ding Fan replied softly:
"Regardless, the Great Elder is whom we must face, so why not strike first?"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, the people around had a flicker in their gaze, showing admiration when looking at Ding Fan.
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu nodded towards him, replying softly:
"Brother Ding, we understand. Weâll go back to muster our forces and head towards Great Python Mountain!"
Upon hearing them, Ding Fan nodded softly, his lips curling into a slight smile.
After a quiet contemplation, Ding Fan spoke softly:
"Everyone, we might soon encounter the most formidable adversaries of the entire Skeleton Sect. Are any of you afraid?"
Upon hearing Ding Fanâs words, determination filled the eyes of those around, a resolute voice unitedly replying:
"Brother Ding, as long as youâre with us, no matter how formidable the enemy, we wonât be afraid!"
Upon hearing the crowdâs words, Ding Fan nodded softly, his lips curling into a slight smile.
Shortly after, Ding Fan led the group away from the Fourth Elderâs mountain peak, gazing at the surrounding mist, a sharp determination emerged in his eyes.
