Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1759 - 1796: Reunion with Godly Affection
"What? Senior Ding, have you already transformed this Great Formation into your own?"
At this moment, all the elders widened their eyes as they looked at Ding Fan, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"That’s right. As long as I touch this Great Formation, the Rune Array within it will change according to my will. Moreover, from now on, this formation will only obey my commands."
Ding Fan nodded as if it were a matter of course, then continued to explain to the elders. However, before he finished, he noticed that many elders were clutching their chests, their faces filled with pleasure.
"Huh? What’s happened to all of you?"
The elders waved their hands at Ding Fan’s question and slowly said to him:
"Senior, we’re getting old. We beg you not to shock our fragile hearts anymore."
Hearing their words, Ding Fan’s face also reflected a bit of helplessness. He was just stating some truths and didn’t expect it to shock them.
"Alright, I won’t talk about it anymore. Now, the entire Great Ocean Sect is under my own formation, and for the short term, no one should be able to threaten the Great Ocean Sect."
Hearing Ding Fan’s words, the elders nodded quietly. Under Ding Fan’s own transformed Great Formation, not to mention whether anyone would even discover it—even if they did, it would likely be very difficult to intrude into the Great Formation.
While speaking, Ding Fan changed the Finger Gestures in his hand. Instantly, a gap appeared in the Great Formation, large enough to fit three people at once. With a dash, Ding Fan entered the formation.
At this moment, the three elders exchanged glances and then followed Ding Fan’s figure inside. As soon as they entered the formation, their vision instantly changed. They seemed to arrive in the blazing summer days, and the scorching sun instantly burned their skin.
"What’s going on here? Didn’t Senior Ding help us break the formation? How did we end up inside it?"
"It can’t be—this sun is so hot my skin feels like it’s about to scorch."
"Quick, let’s combine our strength and break this formation first!"
Once within the formation, the three elders were immediately shocked by the scorching heat of the blazing sun. With their combined cultivation, they found themselves struggling against the heat within the formation.
Just as the three prepared to break the formation together, the scene before them changed—transforming in an instant back to how it appeared when they first entered.
"What’s going on? Why are we back here again?"
"Could it be that we never even entered the formation itself?"
"This formation is so bizarre! We’re skilled Distraction Period masters—how can we be trapped by such a small formation?"
The three elders looked at the Great Formation before them with puzzled expressions, their faces filled with astonishment. They could have sworn they successfully followed Ding Fan into the Great Formation and felt the unbearable heat. How did the picture suddenly switch back?
As the three elders pondered in confusion, Ding Fan’s figure slowly appeared before them. Seeing the three bedraggled elders, he couldn’t help but smile slightly.
"Senior Ding, you’ve finally come out. What exactly happened just now? How did we unknowingly end up outside the Great Formation?"
Feeling a touch of embarrassment on his face, Ding Fan apologetically said to the three elders:
"Well...I just wanted to test the power of this Great Formation, so..."
At those words, the three elders immediately understood, their eyes widening in disbelief, rendered speechless for a while.
"Senior Ding, if you’re going to experiment, at least give us a heads-up! Look at us—we were caught completely unprepared and ended up making a laughingstock of ourselves."
As they spoke, the three elders couldn’t help but find it amusing. They truly didn’t expect that even a casually set Great Formation by Ding Fan could be this powerful. If Ding Fan’s cultivation became even more profound in the future, they might not even qualify to carry his shoes.
"I’m really sorry. I just got carried away and had no other intention."
Feeling somewhat abashed, Ding Fan truthfully admitted that he just got carried away earlier and happened to want to test the power of the Great Formation with the elders present.
However, the formation’s power far exceeded Ding Fan’s expectations, being able to confound even Distraction Period experts. Knowing it could delay such experts was indeed an enormous advantage for the people up at Great Ocean Sect Mountain.
"Alright, Senior Ding. We don’t blame you. Let’s just get a heads-up next time. We weren’t prepared at all for this."
Ding Fan nodded apologetically, then led the elders quickly into the formation.
The journey was silent until they reached the location of the Great Ocean Sect’s mountain gate. Observing the familiar surroundings, a hint of recollection crossed Ding Fan’s face.
"I wonder how Qing Wen and the others are doing?"
As he voiced his thoughts, Ding Fan strode inside. He hadn’t walked far when he heard the sounds of men and women laughing, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief.
To be honest, Ding Fan had been worried about what might happen within the Great Ocean Sect all along. After all, the entire sect was surrounded by others, and a massive formation had been set atop the mountain, making it impossible for anyone inside to get out.
However, hearing everyone’s relaxed voices brought a trace of happiness to Ding Fan’s lips.
Thinking of this, Ding Fan quickened his pace slightly, and soon, he saw Gusu Qingwen standing by, tidying clothes, with Long Ren, whom he had sent ahead, standing next to her.
Seeing his good brother and love, a smile appeared on Ding Fan’s lips, his footsteps paused slightly, and an elusive arc swept across his face.
"Long Ren, when do you think Ding Fan will come up? Didn’t you say he’d already arrived?"
Listening to Gusu Qingwen’s words, Long Ren’s face showed a hint of calm, his lips slightly lifted, and then he said to Gusu Qingwen:
"Big Brother should be coming soon, right? With his ability, this matter should be no trouble at all."
Upon hearing Long Ren’s words, Gusu Qingwen’s face also showed a hint of pride, as if she were speaking of herself. However, women are like that; sometimes, praising their man brings more happiness than praising themselves.
"Hmph! You’re good with words, but Long Ren, you should go down and check soon, don’t let him get into any danger."
Listening to Gusu Qingwen’s words, Long Ren also nodded seriously. Although he had great confidence in Ding Fan’s strength, Ding Fan was facing an army of five thousand this time, and should anything happen, Long Ren couldn’t guarantee safety.
While Long Ren and Gusu Qingwen were talking, a woman wearing a white dress, ethereal as a fairy, slowly walked in. Upon seeing Long Ren in conversation with Gusu Qingwen, she paused, furrowed her brows slightly, and asked Long Ren in confusion:
"Long Ren, what were you talking about with Qingwen?"
After hearing the woman’s voice, Long Ren slowly raised his head, looking at the woman before him, and his face showed a hint of respect.
"Big Sister Ningbing, you came too?"
The ethereal woman was none other than Ye Ningbing. At this time, Ye Ningbing walked slowly to their side, a smile on her face as she spoke to Long Ren:
"I heard Ding Fan was back, so I came to check. Hmm? Where’s Ding Fan?"
Ye Ningbing looked left and right but couldn’t find Ding Fan’s figure. Having heard that Ding Fan returned, she became lively, eagerly wanting to see him at once. But now, she only saw Long Ren and Gusu Qingwen chatting, with no sign of Ding Fan.
Listening to Ye Ningbing’s question, a hint of awkwardness appeared on Long Ren’s face. Looking at Gusu Qingwen beside him, under her resentful gaze, he slowly said:
"Big Brother is dealing with some matters down the mountain. Once they’re resolved, he’ll be up."
Ye Ningbing heard Long Ren’s words and paused, then a look of realization spread across her face. Pointing her alabaster fingers toward the mountain’s base, she asked Long Ren:
"You mean the army down there?"
Listening to Ye Ningbing’s words, a hint of confusion appeared on Long Ren’s face, but he quickly understood. After all, the Great Ocean Sect had been surrounded by the army for so long, if Ye Ningbing didn’t know of this, she’d have wasted her time on the mountain.
"That’s right, Sister Ningbing, Big Brother is concerned about the army surrounding the mountain. For some unknown reason, they’ve encircled the Great Ocean Sect completely, and Big Brother is working on driving them all out."
Upon hearing Long Ren’s words, Ye Ningbing nodded slowly. To be honest, although the army hadn’t done anything too outrageous during this time, blocking off the sect without letting anyone out was enough to upset her.
"Well, that army camping here is indeed troublesome enough." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Right now, a bit of disappointment crept into Ye Ningbing’s heart, as she hadn’t immediately seen the one she loved, leaving her slightly disheartened.
Just then, Gusu Qingwen leaned in beside Ye Ningbing, a mischievous smile crossing her face as she playfully said to her:
"Sister Ye, how about we play a little trick on Ding Fan when he comes up later? For him taking so long to come see us!"
Upon hearing Gusu Qingwen’s words, Ye Ningbing’s eyes brightened, and she turned toward her, a naughty gleam in her eyes.
"That sounds like a good idea! He barely thinks about us, it’s been so long, we haven’t seen him in such a long time."
Just as Ye Ningbing finished speaking, a teasing male voice slowly echoed in everyone’s ears:
"Who were you planning to tease just now?"
As the voice rose, a man’s silhouette slowly appeared in everyone’s view. Seeing this familiar figure, Gusu Qingwen and Ye Ningbing’s eyes instantly filled with tears. Staring at this familiar face, the two beautiful ladies couldn’t hold back their emotions any longer.
"Ding Fan!"
Indeed, the newcomer was Ding Fan. At this moment, a smile hung on his lips, affectionately looking at the two beauties before him, and then he slowly opened his arms.
