As the surroundings shifted momentarily, Ding Fan and his companions emerged from a spatial tunnel, gazing at the bright sky around them, Ding Fan’s eyes abruptly filled with astonishment.

Beside him, Xia Ling’s eyes widened with horror upon seeing this place, and she said to Ding Fan in surprise:

"Brother Ding, where have we been transported to? Why has the environment suddenly become so bright?"

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s lips curled into a slow smile, and he whispered to Xia Ling:

"This should be the true face of the Skeleton Sect..."

Next to him, Zhuge Qing, having heard Ding Fan and Xia Ling’s conversation, slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding is right, this is indeed Skeleton Sect, it’s unknown how long Skeleton Sect has been hidden here..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes glinted sharply as he slowly addressed Zhuge Qing:

"Since we’ve entered the Skeleton Sect, let Brother Zhuge show us your stature within it!"

Hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing nodded slowly at Ding Fan, and Ding Fan’s eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing this.

"Brother Ding, let me lead you to see the true strength of Skeleton Sect!"

As he spoke, Zhuge Qing’s figure shimmered, releasing a sharp aura from his body, Ding Fan’s eyes flashed sharply upon witnessing this, as he followed suit.

Ding Fan held Xia Ling’s hand, their figures flickered forward, and before long, Ding Fan and Xia Ling were following behind Zhuge Qing. Zhuge Qing moved like a shuttlecock, leaving a mysterious afterimage before Ding Fan and companions. The terrifying speed produced a piercing sonic boom in mid-air.

It didn’t take long before Ding Fan was trailing behind Zhuge Qing, as waves of sharp energy erupted from Zhuge Qing’s body, Ding Fan’s eyes turned sharp upon witnessing this, his body quivering slightly.

Everyone’s eyes widened in horror upon witnessing this, fixating on Zhuge Qing’s figure. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Zhuge Qing’s figure paused slightly, his eyes grave, as he began to trace a strangely eerie step around the surroundings.

Ding Fan’s eyes widened in surprise upon seeing this, as ferocious waves of energy surged from his body.

As Zhuge Qing’s body trembled slightly, a mysterious fluctuation was released atop the mountain. As this fluctuation spread, an eerily strange gate slowly emerged into view beneath the mountainside.

Ding Fan’s eyes widened in shock upon seeing this.

"What... where exactly is this place?"

A voice filled with doubt and uncertainty emerged from Ding Fan’s mouth, and upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"This is the power I’ve been developing in secret..."

Hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes widened in surprise and he stared intently at the strange gate.

Xia Ling’s eyes also filled with shock, her lips trembling slightly as she said to Zhuge Qing in astonishment:

"Brother Zhuge, is this the power you’ve developed alone? Hidden in a mountain, it’s truly terrifying..."

Hearing Xia Ling’s words, Zhuge Qing slowly replied to her:

"There’s no choice, within Skeleton Sect currents are hidden, I must be cautious!"

After hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes glinted sharply, as he calmly said to everyone:

"In that case, let us all see just how powerful the forces you’ve developed over the years have become?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes filled with pride, as he nodded slowly toward Ding Fan.

Speaking, Zhuge Qing led Ding Fan and the others into that strange gate, and upon Ding Fan seeing this, his eyes flashed with sharpness, his body swiftly following suit.

Before long, Ding Fan quickly followed Zhuge Qing as they stepped into the gate, and as the figures of Ding Fan and his companions disappeared, that eerie gate slowly vanished.

Upon entering the gate, Ding Fan and Xia Ling were met with a pitch-black environment that sent chills through their hearts, a wave of bone-chilling air surged towards their bodies.

Seeing this, Ding Fan frowned, releasing a wave of fiery energy from his body.

Feeling the scorching aura from Ding Fan’s body, Xia Ling felt considerably more at ease.

As Zhuge Qing sensed this, his voice came forth:

"What? You don’t recognize me?"

With Zhuge Qing’s words, the chilling aura around them faded away, and the previously pitch-black environment brightened.

Instantly, before Ding Fan appeared well over a hundred people, as he saw this, his eyes filled with surprise, and he spoke calmly to everyone:

"Unexpectedly, so many are hidden here..."

As Ding Fan’s heart grew secretly shocked, the crowd turned toward Zhuge Qing with eyes full of respect, addressing him with exceptional reverence:

"Leader, you’ve finally returned..."

Upon hearing the crowd’s words, Zhuge Qing waved lightly, signaling everyone to quiet down.

Seeing Zhuge Qing’s gesture, their eyes filled with respect, and they all became silent.

Seeing this, Ding Fan’s eyes filled with horror, and he said to Zhuge Qing stunned:

"Brother Zhuge, I didn’t expect your people to follow your orders to such a degree."

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing coldly and casually replied:

"Brother Ding, you’re too kind, if I hadn’t cultivated such forces during my time in Skeleton Sect, how could we talk of revenge?"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan nodded his head slightly, seeing the exchange between Ding Fan and Zhuge Qing, everyone’s eyes filled with surprise, fixating on Ding Fan’s figure.

Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Zhuge Qing slowly spoke to everyone:

"Friends, I believe many of you are curious about the person beside me, so I’ll introduce him!"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, everyone’s eyes focused on Ding Fan’s figure, filled with curiosity.

Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Zhuge Qing slowly spoke to everyone:

"The figure beside me is Ding Fan, the savior I found within the Sirius Tomb during my travels!"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, everyone’s gaze focused on Ding Fan, eyes filled with gratitude, and voices brimming with thanks emerged from the crowd’s mouths:

"Thank you, Brother Ding, for saving our leader!"

Upon hearing the crowd’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes flashed with embarrassment, as he waved his hand lightly, his eyes filled with indifference.
