"Brother Ding, now that the Skeleton Sect is leaderless, there’s certainly no issue if you wish to claim it. However, the most crucial point is that the Skeptons are still considered Third-Class Peak Forces. How can we ensure that everyone will heed our commands with just a few of us?"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s lips slowly lifted into a smile, and he spoke to Zhuge Qing with a teasing tone:

"This will depend on your boldness, Brother Zhuge..."

After listening to Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes were filled with astonishment. Embarrassment appeared on his face, and his mouth trembled slightly as he spoke to Ding Fan with difficulty:

"Brother Ding, within the Skeleton Sect, my status isn’t particularly high; besides, other elders in the sect also covet the position of sect leader, and their power is quite formidable!"

When Ding Fan heard Zhuge Qing’s words, his eyes instantly flashed sharply, and he teasingly said to Zhuge Qing:

"What if I told you that dealing with these elders is entirely up to me?"

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

"Brother Ding, if that’s the case, I do have some confidence!"

After hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s lips couldn’t help but slowly curve into a smile. Xia Ling, having overheard the conversation between Ding Fan and Zhuge Qing, was filled with astonishment. She said to Ding Fan in disbelief:

"Brother Ding, what did you say? You’re actually considering making the Skeleton Sect your own? How is this possible?! The power of the Skeleton Sect has always been coveted by other Third-Class forces. If you claim the Skeleton Sect, the other powers will certainly not let things rest!"

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s lips slowly curved as he spoke slowly to Xia Ling:

"Do you really think that establishing your own force would make other forces willing to let you be?"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment’s reflection, she slowly nodded at Ding Fan.

Seeing Xia Ling’s expression, Ding Fan’s eyes flashed brightly, and he spoke slowly to Xia Ling:

"Since they won’t spare us no matter what, why don’t we take the initiative and first incorporate the Skeleton Sect into our fold?"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes also flashed brightly, and she spoke to Ding Fan with sudden realization:

"Brother Ding, if that’s the case, I think we are sure to seize control of the Skeleton Sect. Luckily, we have Brother Zhuge as our ally, and it seems that it won’t take long for the Skeleton Sect to become our force!"

After hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s lips slowly curved into a smile as he laughed and said to Xia Ling:

"Exactly. Now that the Skeleton Sect is leaderless, we should seize the opportunity. If we fail to grasp this chance, the Skeleton Sect may soon be taken by other forces, and capturing it afterward would be just a pipe dream..."

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Zhuge Qing’s eyes flashed sharply upon hearing this. He spoke to Ding Fan slowly:

"Brother Ding, since that’s the case, let’s hurry and set off. The thought of owning our own force fills me with uncontrollable excitement."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes slowly narrowed as he nodded at Zhuge Qing, speaking very casually:

"Excellent. In that case, let’s hurry and set off. I too am curious to see just how formidable these Third-Class forces within the Divine Realm truly are."

Listening to Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes flashed sharply. When Ding Fan saw this, a faint light appeared in his eyes.

Before long, led by Zhuge Qing, Ding Fan and the group quickly moved toward the location of the Skeleton Sect. The scene moved swiftly around them like the wind, accompanied by an ear-piercing whistle. Ding Fan gazed at the rapidly shifting surroundings, his eyes filled with astonishment. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Brother Zhuge, is the Skeleton Sect’s camp hidden in this desolate mountain?"

Gazing at the barren mountain hollow before him, Ding Fan’s eyes filled with astonishment. His mouth lifted slightly, and Ding Fan spoke nonchalantly to everyone.

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes were filled with amazement, as he addressed Ding Fan:

"You are correct, Brother Ding. The Skeleton Sect is indeed hidden within this desolate mountain. Although the Skeleton Sect is considered a Third-Class Peak Force within the Divine Realm, its ruthless actions have earned the resentment of many powerful beings, which is why its camp is hidden in this desolate mountain."

After hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes revealed a look of realization as he spoke slowly to Zhuge Qing:

"Brother Zhuge, is there anyone else powerful within the Skeleton Sect?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes flashed fiercely, and he spoke slowly to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, besides the sect leader, there are indeed others of considerable power within the Skeleton Sect. Though their strength does not match the sect leader, from my observation, they are not far off..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes flashed with astonishment, as he questioned inquisitively:

"If that’s the case, the Skeleton Sect truly harbors several skilled individuals..."

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes were filled with seriousness as he spoke slowly to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding is right, though these elders have rifts amongst themselves and are not as united as they might appear!"

After hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes flashed as he spoke slowly to Zhuge Qing:

"If that’s the case, we can certainly work with these elders. Moreover, with their formidable abilities, they can serve as pillars of strength for our new force!"

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing nodded twice and, after a moment of reflection, spoke in agreement:

"Brother Ding is absolutely right. Such talent shouldn’t be squandered excessively. Rest assured, I’ve also accumulated quite a network within the Skeleton Sect, initially meant to counter the sect leader. But it seems it won’t be necessary now..."

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s lips slowly curved into a smile, and he nonchalantly addressed everyone:

"Then let Brother Zhuge show us the network you’ve accumulated over time!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Zhuge Qing’s face showed some embarrassment as he slowly nodded to Ding Fan.

While talking, Zhuge Qing led Ding Fan and the others toward a mound behind the desolate mountain. Upon seeing this, Xia Ling’s eyes were filled with surprise as she exclaimed to Ding Fan and Zhuge Qing:

"This mound is so peculiar! I feel like there’s some kind of inexplicable tremor coming from it..."

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Zhuge Qing’s eyes were filled with amazement as he uncertainly addressed her:

"Xia Ling, have you found something unusual here?"

Seeing Zhuge Qing’s expression, Xia Ling’s eyes were also filled with surprise as she spoke slowly to Zhuge Qing:

"Yes, I always feel as if something exists behind this mound..."

Upon hearing Xia Ling and Zhuge Qing’s conversation, Ding Fan’s eyes flashed as he questioned Zhuge Qing with curiosity:

"Brother Zhuge, how about it? Is there anything amiss?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s question, Zhuge Qing’s expression finally reacted, looking toward Ding Fan with hesitation before speaking slowly:

"Brother Ding, you may not know, but beyond this mound lies the main base of our Skeleton Sect, where the sect leader himself has established a setup. It is impossible for ordinary people to detect this place!"

After hearing Zhuge Qing’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes flashed with surprise. His gaze turned to Xia Ling as he slowly asked:

"Xia Ling, how did you notice something unusual about this mound?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s question, Xia Ling’s eyes also filled with uncertainty as she slowly shook her head towards Ding Fan.

"I don’t know, I just feel like there is an inexplicable tremor coming from this mound..."
