The long-bearded Elder, after hearing Ding Fan’s words, had his gaze flicker at once, the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, and he slowly nodded in Ding Fan’s direction.

The long-bearded Elder slowly rose up from the ground, his figure flickering slightly, and a faint voice immediately came out from his mouth:

"All disciples heed my order, pay respects to Sect Master Ding!"

After hearing the long-bearded Elder’s words, all the white-robed disciples had looks of astonishment surge into their eyes, and all spoke respectfully toward where Ding Fan was:

"We pay respects to Sect Master Ding."

After hearing the voices of the crowd, the corner of Ding Fan’s mouth couldn’t help but slowly curl up, and he spoke with great calm:

"Everyone, my name is Ding Fan. Today I had a small conflict with the Second Elder, but now everything has already been resolved. I hope that from now on you can all look after me..."

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, the crowd all had shock surge into their eyes, their gazes all focused on Ding Fan’s body, and voices at once came out from their mouths:

"We pay respects to Brother Ding!"

"We pay respects to Brother Ding!"

The long-bearded Elder at the side, after hearing the crowd’s words, also had his eyes flicker slightly, the corner of his mouth trembled, and a voice immediately came from his mouth:

"Brother Ding, I don’t know what plans we have next?"

After hearing the long-bearded Elder’s words, Ding Fan’s voice immediately came out from his mouth:

"Next, I think it’s time to go meet that Third Elder..."

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, the long-bearded Elder also had astonishment surge into his eyes, and he slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, you actually want to see Old Third? Old Third is the most honest and straightforward among us four, and has no threatening power at all. Why doesn’t Brother Ding choose to make a move on the Great Elder, or the Fourth Elder?"

After hearing the long-bearded Elder’s words, a sharp glint immediately flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, and he spoke very calmly:

"I don’t see it that way. Anyone who can sit at such a position in the Skeleton Sect—I do not believe he is someone without any scheming in his heart!"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, the long-bearded Elder immediately had astonishment surge into his eyes, and he slowly nodded to Ding Fan.

When Ding Fan saw this, his gaze chilled slightly, and his voice immediately came out from his mouth:

"Second Elder, how much do you know about that Great Elder?"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, the long-bearded Elder immediately had astonishment surge into his eyes, and a voice at once came from his mouth:

"As for this Great Elder, I do know a bit more than the others. The Great Elder is eccentric by nature, never speaks with others, and has no dealings with us. But what we fear the most is the Great Elder’s tyrannical strength. The Great Elder’s strength is even much more formidable than the Sect Master’s!"

After hearing the long-bearded Elder’s words, a fierce light immediately surged into Ding Fan’s eyes, and his voice came at once from his mouth:

"So it seems that within the entire Skeleton Sect, the one with the most formidable strength is without doubt this Great Elder..."

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, the long-bearded Elder’s eyes also faintly flashed with light. After pondering slightly, his gaze locked tightly on Ding Fan’s body, the corner of his mouth trembled, and a voice immediately came from his mouth:

"Brother Ding’s strength should far surpass that Great Elder’s..."

After hearing the long-bearded Elder’s words, a glint slowly flashed through Ding Fan’s eyes, and he spoke very calmly:

"Second Elder, you really overpraise me...I’m not that strong."

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, the long-bearded Elder’s gaze couldn’t help but flicker slightly again, the corner of his mouth trembled, and he slowly nodded to Ding Fan.

Seeing the long-bearded Elder like this, Ding Fan’s eyes also faintly flashed with light. After pondering slightly, he spoke very calmly:

"Second Elder, would you say that within the entire Skeleton Sect, only you Four Great Elders are the most core Power?"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, the long-bearded Elder’s gaze couldn’t help but flicker slightly, the corner of his mouth trembled, and a voice immediately came from his mouth:

"What Brother Ding says is correct. In fact, within the entire Skeleton Sect, the most elite Power is all held in the hands of us Four Great Elders. Even the former Sect Master was far from having as much authority as we Four Great Elders!"

After hearing this, a glint slowly flashed through Ding Fan’s eyes.

Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu, who were by the side, also slowly walked to Ding Fan’s side. The corners of their mouths lifted slightly, and they slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"Congratulations, Brother Ding. Congratulations, Second Elder. From now on, we are truly one family!"

After hearing Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu’s words, Ding Fan spoke very calmly:

"Xue Wu, Brother Zhuge, get ready. We are to immediately move toward the location where the Third Elder resides!"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu both had astonishment surge into their eyes, and they asked Ding Fan in surprise:

"Brother Ding, why is this operation so urgent? We just had the Second Elder join us, why do we have to head to the Third Elder’s place immediately?"

After hearing their words, Ding Fan’s gaze couldn’t help but flicker slightly, the corner of his mouth trembled, and a voice immediately came out from his mouth:

"It’s not that I’m in a rush, but that some people will not allow us to keep going like this..."

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu both had astonishment surge into their eyes, and both slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, what did you say? Someone’s going to make things difficult for us? How is that possible, this is our first action!"

After hearing their words, Ding Fan’s tone paused slightly, and he slowly spoke to the two of them:

"What we did today—storming the mountain peak where the Second Elder resides—will definitely be known to the other Elders. If they take this chance to unite, our situation will become extremely passive!"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu both had astonishment surge into their eyes, and both nodded toward where Ding Fan was.

Seeing this, the corner of Ding Fan’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up, and his voice immediately came out from his mouth:

"Now we seize the time and quickly move toward where the Third Elder is, striving to obtain the Third Elder’s trust before they do!"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu both slowly nodded their heads. The long-bearded Elder at the side, after hearing Ding Fan’s words, also had a look of surprise flash through his eyes, the corner of his mouth trembled, and he spoke to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, then what about me?"

After hearing the long-bearded Elder’s words, the corner of Ding Fan’s mouth couldn’t help but slowly curl up, and his voice immediately came out from his mouth:

"You stay on this mountain peak for now. At a critical moment, you’ll be of great use!"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, the long-bearded Elder also had astonishment surge into his eyes, and he slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"Very well! Brother Ding, then I’ll stay here first!"

After hearing the long-bearded Elder’s words, Ding Fan’s head couldn’t help but lightly nod twice, his gaze flickered slightly, and his voice immediately came from his mouth:

"Brother Zhuge, Xue Wu, let’s seize the time and set off!"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu both had grave expressions surge into their eyes, and both nodded toward Ding Fan’s direction.

Seeing this, a fierce glint surged into Ding Fan’s eyes as well, and his body walked straight out.

Before long, Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu had gathered all the disciples under their command and all walked down the mountain.

Seeing this, the corner of Ding Fan’s mouth couldn’t help but slowly curl up, and he spoke very calmly:

"Second Elder, if anyone asks, you just say that Zhuge Qing and Xue Wu have already rebelled. That day, when they came under your mountain, they actually wanted to storm your peak by force, but fortunately, relying on your formidable strength and the many disciples under your command, you completely stopped Zhuge Qing and the others!"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, the long-bearded Elder also had a glint flash in his eyes, and he nodded toward Ding Fan’s direction.
