Chapter 2378: Trouble

“Ding Aohuang, you really are an incessant ghost!”

Ling Xiaotian’s eyes revealed a trace of anger as he muttered, “When we were young, you always suppressed me. Now that I am the Spirit Dragon Hall Master, able to suppress you, but your son has come to harm my daughter again? You better not appear, otherwise you’ll see if I won’t crush you to death.”

…

Northern Wastelands, Demon Sea.

Herr Rufeng maneuvered the Golden Chariot near the tornado. The Herr Family samurai guarding the mechanism prohibition immediately flew up, bowing towards her and saying, “Miss Rufeng, the Great Emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter here.”

“Get out of my way!”

Herr Rufeng glared angrily at the speaking Herr Family elder and said, “Are you with the Ding Family or my Herr Family? Don’t even think, even if Ding Fan were here, he wouldn’t dare stop me from going in.”

After scolding the Herr Family martial artist, Herr Rufeng put away the chariot and unleashed her Divine Weapon, transforming into a beam of light and flying into the vortex entrance.

Entering into the Tigertooth Ape’s alternate world, Herr Rufeng immediately rushed towards the entrance of the Barbarian Lands. She knew Ding Fan and others must be inside the Barbarian Lands. Although she didn’t know what was happening inside, this time she had to go.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Barbarian Lands, Herr Ningshuang was once again stopped. Four Herr Family martial artists guarded the place, and a Great Formation had also been set up at the entrance.

The elders collectively refused to let Herr Rufeng enter until she took out a knife and placed it on her neck. Only then did the elders have no choice but to open the Great Formation, initiating the entrance to the Barbarian Lands. One continued to guard, while the other three elders escorted Herr Rufeng inside.

As soon as they entered, they were surrounded by Rakshasa clan members, but upon seeing Herr Rufeng, they all knelt down, jabbering in a loud ruckus.

Evidently, they mistook Herr Rufeng for Herr Ningshuang, thinking she was the Goddess of the Rakshasa Clan.

Herr Rufeng, with her distinct personality and simple mind, didn’t care whether there was danger or why the Rakshasa clan members treated her this way. She stood atop her Divine Weapon, flying straight towards Rakshasa Snow Mountain.

After entering the Barbarian Lands, her senses became increasingly evident. Herr Ningshuang was definitely here, and suffering. She had to find Herr Ningshuang.

The elders had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow her. Several Flying Rakshasas naturally kept close behind her, asking her several questions along the way. Herr Rufeng and the others couldn’t understand, so they ignored them.

After several days and nights of flying, they finally arrived near Rakshasa Snow Mountain. Standing at the foot of the snow mountain, Herr Rufeng’s delicate body trembled continuously, silent tears slipped down her eyes as she looked up at the castle atop the mountain, feeling inexplicably painful, her heart in excruciating pain.

At this time, the Night Queen and Elder Yao had followed Meng Tian to battle in the Barbarian Lands. Fortunately, a Ye Family elder remained to protect the snow mountain. Upon seeing Herr Rufeng, he hurriedly came forward to meet her and the party.

Herr Rufeng trembled as she entered the castle, pushing open the door inside. When she saw Herr Ningshuang frozen like a dead corpse in the ice covering a bed, her vision suddenly went black, and she fell to the ground…

Herr Rufeng arrived, Ding Fan did not blame her for disobeying orders; instead, seeing her made him feel guilty.

He could understand the bond between Herr Rufeng and Herr Ningshuang. It could even be said that their lives were linked; if one died, the other might follow.

Bloodlines intertwined, the two share the same fate.

Herr Rufeng fell to the ground but did not faint; she soon shivered and climbed back up. Her whole body was trembling, whether it was from the heavy cold qi there or because her heart was filled with fear.

Step by step, she walked towards the ice-encased Herr Ningshuang, not glancing at Ding Fan. Upon reaching the ice-bed, she gently touched the ice covering Herr Ningshuang’s body, then a dagger appeared in her hand; she was about to chip away the ice to rescue Herr Ningshuang.

Ding Fan moved, grabbing Herr Rufeng’s hand, seeing her still struggling desperately, he could only hold her tightly.

He whispered, “Herr Rufeng, don’t get agitated. Ningshuang isn’t dead, but if you shatter this ice, she might die instantly.”

Herr Rufeng didn’t dare move; she raised her tearful eyes to look at Ding Fan and said, “Ding Fan, what happened to my sister? What exactly happened to her? I’m so scared, I can’t lose my sister.”

“It’s really okay!”

Ding Fan’s heart was breaking; he stroked Herr Rufeng’s head, comforting her, “Your sister was poisoned, but it’s not a big deal. I had her frozen to prevent the poison from spreading. You can rest assured, I will cure her quickly, I swear on my life.”

“Mm, mm!”

Herr Rufeng was somewhat relieved, seeing Ding Fan’s resolute face and his promise even sworn by life, her inherently simple nature didn’t think much further. She just knew Ding Fan would accomplish what he promised.

“I want to take my sister home, I want to bring her back.”

Herr Rufeng thought for a moment and said. Ding Fan shook his head and said, “Do not touch her before detoxification. Once you break the ice, your sister will quickly die. If you’re worried, stay here and accompany her.”

“Hmm!”

Herr Rufeng immediately nodded and said, “Then I’ll stay here with my sister. Before she wakes up, I won’t go anywhere. I’ll just stay here with her!”

Ding Fan took a breath, finally feeling somewhat relieved. Herr Rufeng and Herr Ningshuang shared a strong telepathy. Herr Ningshuang must know that Herr Rufeng is here, and with her sister by her side, at least she won’t be so scared and lonely.

He still had many things to do. He had to find the antidote for Herr Ningshuang. Although he would definitely be here when he’s free, having Herr Rufeng here made him feel more at ease.

“Hmm, I’ll build a small castle nearby.”

Ding Fan thought for a moment and said, “You can live here in the future. I’ll have people send all the spiritual materials you need for cultivation here. If you don’t want to cultivate, you can request anything you want to eat or play with. It’s good for you to be with your sister. I will do my best to find the antidote for her. Trust me.”

Seeing Herr Ningshuang like this, Herr Rufeng suddenly understood many things. She nodded with tears in her eyes and said, “Don’t worry, Ding Fan. As long as I’m here with my sister, nothing will happen. I won’t mess it up.”

“Alright then, just stay with your sister.”

Ding Fan stood up and walked out. When he reached the doorway, he warned, “Remember, do not move your sister, or she will die immediately.”

Herr Rufeng nodded with tears in her eyes. Ding Fan looked at the three elders of the Herr Family outside the door and commanded, “You will all guard here from now on. No one is allowed to leave even one step. If anyone tries to harm the sisters, they must step over your corpses. Do you understand?”

“We follow your orders, Great Emperor!”

The three elders of the Herr Family obeyed Ding Fan’s orders. Ding Fan glanced at the fifth elder of the Ye Family, and the two walked to the side. Ding Fan asked him, “How is Meng Tian’s situation?”

“No problem.”

The fifth elder nodded and said, “Recently, countless spiritual materials have been transported back to the mountain and piled up. A Flying Rakshasa sent me a message saying that Meng Tian and the patriarch have already occupied seven or eight major tribes, and they will soon be able to unify the Barbarian Lands.”

“Good!”

Ding Fan was not worried about the battle situation. Given Meng Tian’s realm, he alone could sweep through the entire Barbarian Lands, so unification was absolutely not a problem.

Ding Fan took out some dried meat and chewed it while the fifth elder hurriedly sent people to prepare food, but Ding Fan waved his hand dismissively.

He pondered. With Herr Rufeng taking care of Herr Ningshuang, he no longer needed to worry. He should do what he had to do.

There are so many spiritual materials in the Barbarian Lands that they need to be sold for the spiritual materials needed for the cultivation of several Giant Tribe elders. If the Ye Family, Meng Family, and the Giant and Rakshasa Tribes could cultivate one or two more Seventh Level Experts in the Divine Realm, his power would greatly increase. At least next time, if the Ding Family plays tricks on him again, he would not be caught unprepared.

The problem is…

How does he sell those spiritual materials?

The resources of the Northern Wastelands have been exhausted, and all the good things have been nearly consumed. If he rashly sells a batch of precious spiritual materials, it would easily attract the attention of the powerful family forces. Even if it doesn’t draw attention once or twice, over time, it would soon be exposed. Even if not exposed, it would arouse the covetousness of powerful families.

Ding Fan was contemplating when a small beast flew over from afar, turning into a black light and jumped into Ding Fan’s arms.

“Wuwu~”

Little Sirius had been wandering around these days. The guarding elder of the Ye Family knew it was Ding Fan’s pet, so they had the Rakshasa Clan members keep an eye on it and not harm it.

Sirius had slept for so long, and with Ding Fan locking himself up, it got bored and ran over the mountains, driving a herd of wild beasts away.

“Wuwu!”

Sirius called out affectionately. Ding Fan saw the worry in its eyes, grinned, and patted its head.

“Pa~”

Just then, a talisman on Ding Fan’s waist suddenly shattered. His eyes turned cold, and he lifted Sirius onto his shoulder, reaching out for the talisman.

This warning talisman had special significance. Ding Fan carried several of them. There was a mark on this talisman, and its shattering indicated trouble outside, but not a deadly one.

“Wang Zhongjian is dead. Could it be that other elders of the Wang Family are still alive?”

Ding Fan frowned. He didn’t want to go out now. The Barbarian Lands were not yet unified, and he still couldn’t feel completely at ease about Herr Ningshuang. But since Madam Yan had sent a message, it meant there was something she couldn’t handle.
