Chapter 2121: Chapter 2158: You Still Mistook Me

Upon hearing that Crimson Flame actually called Ding Fan Young Master and kneeled before this youth from Skeleton Sect, Tie Hualong and Li Xiankong’s hearts were pounding.

What kind of situation is this, what does this title signify? This powerful figure in Tianmu Sea turns out to be a servant of Ding Fan’s family, a follower of the Ding Family, so what exactly is Ding Fan’s identity?

Both the Allied Forces of the Tie Family and the people of Skeleton Sect were extremely shocked, everyone looked at Ding Fan and the kneeling Crimson Flame in astonishment.

Needless to say, people who had been by Ding Fan’s side all the time, such as Wu Qingxia, who had her life saved by Ding Fan, were completely confused by this matter, and felt this situation was somewhat absurd.

Regarding Ding Fan, Wu Qingxia felt she had an understanding, though she didn’t know his true identity, it seemed he didn’t come from a renowned family. In her view, Ding Fan was just an ordinary young man.

But at this moment, such a powerful figure like Crimson Flame kneeling to Ding Fan and calling him Young Master puzzled Wu Qingxia deeply about the mysterious Brother Ding.

This strong figure claiming to be Ding Fan’s servant hinted at Ding Fan’s terrifying origins, suggesting Ding Fan was indeed a remarkable person.

At this time, Ding Fan was also bewildered, but he quickly realized that this must be related to the inheritance from the Sirius Elder. Who was Sirius Elder? He was a patriarch of the Sirius Clan, a Ninth Level cultivator from the Divine Realm, so having several servants like Crimson Flame was hardly unusual.

Anyway, Ding Fan understood that he had escaped a desperate situation; he quickly figured out that since such a powerful master acknowledged him, regardless of whether it was a case of mistaken identity, he should exploit it wisely.

"Good! Since you’re here, slaughter all the Martial Artists on the Tie Family Island for me."

Ding Fan shouted at Crimson Flame.

As soon as he spoke, many people’s faces became unpleasant, especially Tie Hualong’s face turned as pale as a sheet.

Tie Hualong was utterly disheartened, at this moment he stammered to Crimson Flame, saying, "Lord Chi, you must have mistaken, this person... he can’t be your Young Master, he’s just..."

He dared not continue speaking, as Crimson Flame had already stood up, looking at him coldly, making Tie Hualong feel frozen as if great fear seized his heart, immobilizing him, draining all his strength.

"Anyone who is not from the Tie Family, leave here immediately!"

Crimson Flame looked at the reinforcements from the other three islands and said with a tone full of killing intent.

"Whoosh..."

Li Xiankong and others from the two islands felt as if they received amnesty; at this moment, they wished their parents had given them more legs as they scrambled towards the island’s exit without daring to look back, all feeling thankful to Crimson Flame for arriving in time. If he had come after they killed Ding Fan, then everyone would have had to pay with their lives to satisfy Ding Fan, this little ancestor.

Tie Hualong was utterly daunted, practically simultaneously, he and the remaining Fourth Elder of the Tie Family kneeled on the ground, not daring to speak to Crimson Flame, continuously kowtowed to Ding Fan begging for mercy. Tie Hualong shouted at Ding Fan, "Young Master Ding, no... Ancestor Ding, spare us, we were wrong, we’ll never dare again. If you forgive us generously, from now on, everyone in the Tie Family will be your servant, following your every command."

Tie Hualong was thoroughly submissive, not daring to confront Crimson Flame, not even to think about it. Who was Crimson Flame? Ranked in the top ten on Tianmu Sea’s War God Ranking, and a Seventh Level powerhouse from the Divine Realm, someone beyond what they could handle.

Ding Fan looked at Tie Hualong and the Fourth Elder kneeling on the ground, without hesitation, shouted angrily, "Don’t dawdle, kill!"

"Clang..."

A crisp sound echoed as the Treasured Sword behind Crimson Flame unsheathed, and a flash of Blade Gleam passed, including Tie Hualong, without anyone seeing what happened, the heads of the two flew in the air, their bodies fell to the ground, blood spurted wildly, looking extremely terrifying.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

This moment, Crimson Flame’s body transformed into a series of afterimages, weaving among the Martial Artists on Tie Family Island; none could see him clearly, only glimpses of his shadow.

Martial artists of the Tie Family were falling incessantly, heads flying up one after another, blood spraying without pause, the Martial Artists of the Tie Family were like ants collapsing in droves, and Tie Family Island now resembled a hell on earth.

"He’s too powerful!"

Ding Fan couldn’t clearly see Crimson Flame’s actions. He couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, but speaking caused his wounds to ache, making him gasp in pain, his injuries flaring up, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

Wu Qingxia noticed his trembling, realizing his injuries were acting up, hurriedly approached him, took out Healing Medicine, and gave it to him, furrowing her brows in thought before softly saying to Ding Fan, "Brother Ding, I sense another powerful being using Divine Sense to probe us, watching us for quite a while."

"Oh, there’s a strong observer watching us?" After hearing Wu Qingxia’s words, Ding Fan frowned. Thinking it over, he realized his injuries were too severe, rendering him unable to sense anything. Thus, he asked Wu Qingxia, "Can you sense what realm they’re in?"

"I can’t tell, but whoever can probe us with their Divine Sense must be a powerhouse from at least the Seventh Level of the Divine Realm."

Hearing Wu Qingxia’s words, Ding Fan understood in his heart and fell silent, watching the seemingly carefree Chi Yan slaughtering the Tie Family martial artists while calculating the situation at hand.

"Whoosh~"

In just a quarter of an hour, the shadow that Chi Yan had transformed into finally condensed into a solid form again, appearing in front of Ding Fan. Chi Yan said expressionlessly to Ding Fan, "Reporting to the Young Master, not a single Tie Family Island martial artist is left; they have all been slain."

Ding Fan, still contemplating the matter at hand, was suddenly startled. He glanced at the scene, his heart involuntarily shocked. Glancing towards the Second Elder and the members of the Skeleton Sect, he saw terror in their eyes; no one dared to look at Chi Yan, as if he were a relentless reaper of the underworld.

Knowing there were nearly a thousand martial artists in the Tie Family, but within less than a quarter hour, they had been completely massacred by Chi Yan. The most terrifying part was that all those slain did not dare to move, watching helplessly as they faced death. Such cruelty.

The scene before him was one of asura hell; nearly a thousand heads had been chopped off, the ground was soaked in blood, and bodies lay strewn in disorder. The severed heads bore wide-open eyes, reflecting the horror they experienced before death, and many bodies continued to gush blood.

Even the battle-hardened Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and others found the scene unbearable. Chi Yan was simply too fierce, showing no mercy, beheading with each strike. With such a method of killing, no one could be left alive.

"This person is truly terrifying, almost a killing machine."

Seeing so many corpses on the ground, Wu Qingxia was frightened and instinctively hid behind Ding Fan, eyes filled with fear, no longer daring to look at Chi Yan.

Yet Ding Fan seemed oblivious to all this, as if in the world of chaos, one must be prepared to die; dead is dead. Whether by beheading or internal rupture, death is the end, and there is no use leaving a complete corpse. If he couldn’t be ruthless, he wouldn’t have ordered the massacre.

"Young Master! These people are all dead. Earlier, those from the three islands were disrespectful to you. Should I also kill them all as punishment?"

Swish~~

All eyes turned to Ding Fan again. The remaining martial artists of the Skeleton Sect felt their scalps tingle. At this moment, if Ding Fan uttered a single word to "kill," all within the three families would be beheaded.

But what happened next left everyone speechless. Ding Fan, seemingly embarrassed, smiled awkwardly at Chi Yan and said, "Um... that... Lord Chi Yan, I was only nervous when I said to kill those people. You see, I don’t even know you; my father is just a First Level Realm martial artist in the Divine Realm. How could he have accepted you as his servant?"

The statement almost floored everyone. Are you kidding? You gave orders to Chi Yan just because you were nervous? Who is Chi Yan? A top ten warrior in Tianmu Sea. Is Ding Fan asking for death?

When Chi Yan first arrived, Ding Fan accepted when Chi Yan knelt to him. Then he told Chi Yan, "Kill all those people for me!"

Wasn’t this clear acknowledgment that he was Chi Yan’s young master? Everyone thought he must have a background; otherwise, how could he casually order a powerful Chi Yan to slaughter?

Now that everyone is dead, Ding Fan is implying that Chi Yan mistook him for someone else, and he only ordered out of nervousness. Is Ding Fan joking?

At this point, everyone was speechless. What is Ding Fan doing? If he isn’t Chi Yan’s young master, will Chi Yan spare him after using him to solve his crisis? Won’t the remaining Skeleton Sect be implicated too?

With Chi Yan’s personality, can he easily forgive Ding Fan for deceiving him? Would he kill Ding Fan and all the Skeleton Sect martial artists in anger?

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Chi Yan was visibly stunned. He lowered his head to think, then coldly addressed everyone: "All of you, immediately retreat off the island!"

"Ah, yes! Lord Chi Yan! We will leave immediately."

The Second Elder and others were overjoyed that Chi Yan’s words meant they were spared. He swiftly waved his hand for the Skeleton Sect martial artists to carry the injured down, not daring to retrieve their dead comrades.

Wu Qingxia was deeply worried, fearfully glancing at Ding Fan. At this moment, Ding Fan seemed resigned to his fate, tossing the talisman controlling the Tigertooth Ape to her, knowing he could not escape Chi Yan’s wrath.

In under twenty minutes, the Skeleton Sect had completely retreated. Although there were still people in Tie Family Fortress, all martial artists were dead; how could they dare to approach seeking death?

Seeing no one else around, Chi Yan surveyed the area, then smiled at Ding Fan, saying, "Young Master, you probably don’t understand, but I’ve figured out your background. You’ve been to the Sirius Ancient Tomb and received the Sirius Elder’s inheritance. He was a hero of his time and once saved my life when I was gravely wounded. I vowed to follow him then. Rest assured, since you’ve gained his legacy, you’re his successor, and thus my young master here. No one else is around, so I won’t speak of this. Feel free to acknowledge your role."

Yet Ding Fan, still perplexed, said to Chi Yan, "Lord Chi Yan, you’ve indeed mistaken me."
