Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1778 - 1815: A Scheme Emerges

As the black-clad captain slipped into the tunnel, Ding Fan’s eyes slowly closed. To be honest, observing the surroundings now was of no use to Ding Fan. Through the spiritual imprint left on that black-clad captain, Ding Fan could see everything the captain saw.

At this moment, the black-clad captain entered the tunnel, and the entire tunnel turned pitch black. But then he took something out from his clothes, and in an instant, the whole tunnel became as bright as day.

Using his divine sense, Ding Fan discovered that the black-clad captain had stopped moving forward after entering the tunnel. Instead, he stood still, muttering something indistinctly.

Just as Ding Fan was filled with doubt, the black-clad captain suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a red light flashed from his eyes. With the flash of the red light, what appeared before Ding Fan was a great formation.

This great formation was composed of many runes that Ding Fan couldn’t understand. Each rune seemed to be part of an ancient language Ding Fan had once seen in the Secular World. The black-clad captain slowly formed strange finger gestures, and soon, the blood-red formation began to operate bit by bit.

"This Wild Wolf Gang, what a cunning move!"

A cold smirk appeared at the corner of Ding Fan’s mouth, and he secretly felt fortunate. If he had stepped into this formation just now, who knows what might have happened next.

Ding Fan also had considerable knowledge of formations. Seeing this great formation in his mind, he didn’t need to think much to realize that it was unimaginably powerful, even several times stronger than the formations he could perform.

However, the black-clad captain did not stop. His body began to twist in an irregular pattern, and as he moved, the changing formation also gradually transformed.

Suddenly, several arms appeared within the formation, and as they emerged, they slowly pushed against the ceiling of the tunnel.

"What’s going on?"

Ding Fan was also shocked. In all honesty, he had never seen such a situation before. Fortunately, he managed to stay calm without crying out in surprise, focusing all his attention on the formation.

When the black-clad captain saw those arms appear, his spirits seemed to rise. One by one, the arms began to push against the layers of earth in the tunnel, and as they pushed, it seemed as if a massive wall was being pushed open.

Seeing this, Ding Fan was utterly astonished. Honestly, with all his wisdom, he never would have imagined there was a hidden space underground here.

At that moment, a massive stone door was pushed open by the large hands within the formation. Upon witnessing this, the black-clad captain flashed a smile and slipped into the space behind the stone door with a swish of his body.

As Ding Fan’s spirit attached to this black-clothed man, he could clearly observe everything happening no matter where the man went. It didn’t take long for Ding Fan to realize he had entered another space.

Behind the stone door lay another realm. Outside the stone door sparkled with radiance, and before the black-clad captain appeared a three-story tower, each level emanating a subtle fragrance of medicine.

On the third level of the tower, Ding Fan could distinctly sense a strong vitality. After the black-clad captain surveyed the surroundings, he paced in the Seven Stars Step, slowly approaching the tower. As he stared at the countless medicine pills and spiritual materials inside, a look of greed flickered in his eyes.

"Hehe, every time I come here, the leader lets me take some goodies. Let’s see what I can pick this time."

The black-clad man cackled twice, then kicked open the tower’s door and stepped inside. Eyeing the countless herbs and pills, he began to frantically select them.

"This Spirit Opening Pill is good. It’s a rare pill even in Cultivation World. I’ll take one and ensure the leader doesn’t find out."

"Also, these Rejuvenation Pills, I should take a few more to use in future battles..."

Through Ding Fan’s discovery, it was clear the black-clad captain was a greedy person. From the moment he entered, he picked and chose for a time, selecting several items he was interested in before contentedly seeking the mission assigned by the Wild Wolf Gang leader.

About half an incense stick later, the black-clad captain slowly emerged from the tunnel. By this time, Ding Fan had already memorized the entire sequence of gestures the captain used to go in and out.

As for what the black-clad captain did inside afterwards, those things were beyond Ding Fan’s concern.

Watching the black-clad captain emerge, a hint of a smile crept across Ding Fan’s lips. He quietly adjusted his body and used his divine sense to check on Zhang Heng’s situation.

At this moment, Zhang Heng was lying desperately on top of a large tree, watching the black-clothed men pacing below with intense anxiety.

Zhang Heng dreaded that his whereabouts might be discovered, fearing even more that his and Ding Fan’s plan this time would fall through. This time, Zhang Heng desperately wanted to cling to Ding Fan to escape the Wild Wolf Gang, knowing he could no longer stay there. He wouldn’t forgive himself if he didn’t seize the opportunity to grab a bounty.

"Lao Wu, what do you think our captain has been doing for so long down there?"

At this time, a burly man with a scrubby beard asked a slender young man.

The slender young man’s eyes flashed with a glint of insight. After a moment of silence, he replied irritably to the bearded black-clad man:

"What else could he be doing? Surely you know what this place is?"

The bearded man stroked his chin twice, his face revealing a trace of realization. He glanced surprisingly at the skinny young man and then spoke to him:

"Are you saying...the captain went to retrieve the treasure all by himself?"

The skinny young man listened to the bearded man’s voice, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he seriously said to him:

"Lao San, don’t talk nonsense, saying things like this will get people killed, but..."

While speaking, the skinny young man gave the burly bearded man a knowing look. At this moment, the bearded man’s expression immediately showed dissatisfaction.

"Lao Wu, you say, the captain didn’t even take us with him for something like this, it’s simply too much, all the benefits for himself!"

The bearded man is straightforward; if he feels uncomfortable, he needs to speak out. At this time, the whole aura of the skinny and clever young man grew somber, he glanced deeply at the bearded man, pulled him aside, and whispered:

"You better lower your voice, he’s the captain, and he’s our leader’s trusted aide. What good is your discontent now? Can a small arm twist a big leg?"

Upon hearing the skinny young man’s words, the flames within the bearded man instantly extinguished, looking helplessly at the young man, he said:

"So, Lao Wu, are you really saying there’s nothing we can do? We brothers came all this way, yet we haven’t gained any benefits. It’s simply too much of a loss!"

At the moment, Ding Fan was lying atop a big tree, listening clearly to the conversation between the two. Before long, a bold idea flashed through Ding Fan’s mind.

Ding Fan had just, through his divine warrior, clearly seen what the black-clad captain had obtained in the tunnel. Those items should still be on the captain’s person now. As long as Ding Fan makes a slight use of these black-clad men nearby to threaten the captain,

Obtaining the treasures from the tunnel would be a piece of cake for Ding Fan. Thinking of this, a cunning smile appeared on Ding Fan’s lips.

Meanwhile, the two black-clad men were still complaining to each other, their hatred towards the black-clad captain reaching its peak. As they plotted how to gain some benefits from the captain, a white-robed young man walked up.

"Who goes there!"

At this moment, the two black-clad men’s faces were instantly filled with panic, knowing their conspiracy should never be exposed to others, especially in the forbidden area of the Wild Wolf Gang, where the only people appearing were either the elders or the leader of the gang.

The appearance of this white-robed young man carried an unusual air.

"Haha, what are the two of you discussing, mind if I join?"

The gentle voice of the white-robed young man slowly reached their ears. At this moment, the two disciples of the Wild Wolf Gang exchanged glances, a trace of murderous intent flickering in their eyes, then, in perfect sync, raised their steel knives and charged at the white-robed young man.

Seeing this, the white-robed young man’s lips slightly curled, a calm voice once again escaping from his lips:

"Are you perhaps discussing how to threaten that black-clad captain?"

Upon hearing the white-robed young man’s words, the two black-clad men were shocked, knowing this was just an idea they had formed. How could the white-robed young man possibly know?

With this realization, the bearded man glared fiercely at the white-robed young man, his tone filled with threat:

"You know quite a lot, but since you know so much, we absolutely cannot let you live today."

As he spoke, the bearded man was about to stab at the white-robed young man, but just as he raised the steel knife, the skinny young man stopped him, looking at the white-robed young man with puzzled eyes and asked:

"Brother, why are you looking for the two of us?"

The white-robed young man looked deeply at the skinny man and then his lips barely curled, speaking languidly:

"I came to advise you both, your method is simply stupid. If you dare threaten that black-clad captain, your lives will be at risk."

Upon hearing this, the bearded man’s entire spirit grew tense, he glanced at the white-robed young man with slight caution, then asked puzzledly:

"How do you know? What if we succeed?"

At this moment, the white-robed young man heard the bearded man’s words and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, his eyes filled with amusement.
