Top-tier Unruly Master

Kou Yandai had not expected Ding Fan to impulsively throw his Magic Artifact.

As everyone knows, when experts compete, even the smallest detail can directly affect success or failure. At this moment Ding Fan, having thrown his Magic Artifact, was unarmed, and Kou Yandai was absolutely confident he could kill Ding Fan.

"You are certainly going to die today!"

Kou Yandai dodged the thrown Magic Artifact and, swinging his longsword, charged at Ding Fan once again.

Facing Kou Yandai's charge, Ding Fan remained very calm, even slightly curling the corners of his mouth.

Kou Yandai was slightly stunned, but just then, he violently heard a gust of wind from behind. Shocked, he quickly rolled to the side.

Thanks to Kou Yandai's strong cultivation, he managed to avoid a fatal injury. Nevertheless, his right arm was directly severed by Ding Fan.

Kou Yandai screamed miserably and writhed in pain on the ground.

At this moment, the disciples of the Quanzhen Xuanmen who were present all widened their eyes in disbelief.

Just now, everyone saw clearly that Ding Fan had used a Flying Sword, which swiftly severed Kou Yandai's arm.

A Flying Sword! Indeed, a legendary treasure they had only heard of but never actually seen anyone use before.

"Jia Tong is amazing to actually use a Flying Sword..."

"Wow, Jia Tong has really kept a low profile, nobody saw just how fierce he could be."...

The disciples of the Quanzhen Xuanmen whispered among themselves.

At this moment, Qi Changran, who was watching, looked quite upset, furrowing his eyebrows slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

At this time, Ding Fan, holding the Selfless Sword, slowly walked up to Kou Yandai.

Kou Yandai, enduring the pain, barely managed to steady himself. "Boy, you're ruthless, but rest assured, the Myriad Demon Sect will surely settle this score doubly some day."

Even in such a situation, Kou Yandai maintained his arrogance, which Ding Fan found very displeasing. Without uttering another word, he struck again with the Selfless Sword.

Splat...

A burst of blood sprayed out as Ding Fan severed Kou Yandai's remaining left arm.

"I have never liked to listen to nonsense. If you dare to spout more nonsense, I won't mind severing your legs as well," said Ding Fan indifferently.

"You... you..." Kou Yandai attempted to speak, but under Ding Fan's intimidating presence, he dared not say more.

"How did Bian Zhimu conspire to have Jin Minchong steal the Peiyuan Stone and then frame Cheng Bufan for it?" Ding Fan asked Kou Yandai.

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect were stunned. The Sect Leader had previously said that Cheng Bufan colluded with outsiders to steal the Peiyuan Stone... For this reason, Qi Changran had expelled Cheng Bufan from the sect.

But from what Ding Fan was saying now, there seemed to be some discrepancies.

At this moment, even Luo Mei's eyes brightened. She glanced at Cheng Bufan who was not far away, and then shifted her gaze back to Ding Fan.

Cheng Bufan, standing among the crowd, naturally knew that Ding Fan was trying to help clear his name, and he was wholeheartedly grateful to Ding Fan.

"Who are you? How do you know all this?" Kou Yandai's face tensed up as he stared at Ding Fan across from him.

Kou Yandai was no fool; someone who could ask such a question was unlikely to be a minor character of the Quanzhen Sect.

With a swish... Ding Fan's Selfless Sword moved, and immediately Kou Yandai's right ear was severed, causing blood to flow extensively, staining his entire neck red.

"I've always disliked listening to nonsense. If you keep rambling, I won't mind cutting you down to a mere stick," Ding Fan stated coolly.

"I..." The words Kou Yandai was about to utter were frightened back by Ding Fan's statement.

"Bian Zhimu wanted to get the Peiyuan Stone, as it has a special aura. Once infected by the poison gas of the Obsidian, one could locate the Peiyuan Stone within a certain area," Kou Yandai pondered for a moment before finally confessing.

Ding Fan nodded at this information. "So you mean to say that Jin Minchong found the Peiyuan Stone because he was infected with the Obsidian poison and found it on his own, so this matter has nothing to do with Cheng Bufan?"

Kou Yandai nodded. "That's correct."

At this, all the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect finally understood the real situation, realizing that Cheng Bufan had no connection to this matter.

"See, I told you, Cheng Bufan grew up with his master since he was a child, how could he possibly choose to betray the sect?"

"This matter was a setup by someone from the Myriad Demon Sect."

...

"Then why was this incident pinned on Cheng Bufan?" Ding Fan continued to ask.

Initially, Jin Minchong had stolen the Peiyuan Stone and nearly insulted Luo Mei. In the end, he had shifted all the blame onto Cheng Bufan's head. It was for this reason that Qi Changran had directly expelled Cheng Bufan from the sect.

"The matter is like this... Jin Minchong originally just wanted to steal the Peiyuan Stone and leave it at that, but when he saw that Cheng Bufan was knowledgeable and his cultivation was also very powerful, he thought about cutting off an arm of the Quanzhen Sect. He used the pretext of harassing Qi Luomei and then pinned all the blame on Cheng Bufan..."

By this point, everyone already understood that they had indeed misunderstood Cheng Bufan.

Qi Luomei was also full of shame as she looked toward Cheng Bufan. Initially, she almost got harassed by Jin Minchong and she utterly despised Cheng Bufan because of that, to the extent that just earlier outside the mountain gate, Qi Luomei had been quite cold toward Cheng Bufan.

Yet even so, burdened with heavy misunderstandings, Cheng Bufan had stepped forward when Quanzhen Sect was in peril. If it weren't for Cheng Bufan this time, the Quanzhen Sect might have already been eradicated by the Myriad Demon Sect.

Not far away, Qi Changran heard this, yet his expression did not relax, on the contrary, his gaze became even more serious.

Cheng Bufan was filled with gratitude as he looked at Ding Fan. If it hadn't been for Ding Fan, his grievances would never have been clearly stated.

"So this time, what was Bian Zhimu's purpose in sending you to Quanzhen Sect?" Ding Fan asked Kou Yandai just then.

Kou Yandai no longer hesitated at this point; whatever he knew, he said it all. "I came here this time to..."

Whoosh... just as Kou Yandai hadn't finished speaking, suddenly a sword light swept past.

When those present looked again, Kou Yandai had been directly pierced through the chest by that sword light.

Gurgle... Kou Yandai spat out a mouthful of blood, then with reluctance, he collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, standing not far from Kou Yandai, Qi Changran was there with a longsword in hand, the tip of the sword still dripping with blood droplets.

Clearly, it was Qi Changran who had skewered Kou Yandai with a strike.

"Sect Master, there is still much information on Kou Yandai; why kill him directly without waiting to clarify everything?" Ding Fan said with a serious expression.

"With secrets concerning our sect at stake, how could I possibly let outsiders hear them?" Qi Changran coldly said to Ding Fan.

Outsider?

Those present hearing Qi Changran's words were all taken aback. Cheng Bufan was already proven innocent. Now still calling someone an outsider, even the disciples of Quanzhen Sect were confused.

"Father, Cheng Bufan's matter has already been clarified as a misunderstanding; could it be that you still don't forgive Senior Brother Cheng?" At that moment, Qi Luomei swayed slightly, then immediately came next to Qi Changran.

Qi Changran glanced at Qi Luomei, then said. "Foolish child, it's no longer about your Senior Brother Cheng now; the 'outsider' I'm referring to now is this person right here."

This person right here?

Qi Luomei looked at Ding Fan, puzzled.

Now, the person Ding Fan had transformed into was clearly Jia Tong. Duorou's Illusion Technique was very formidable, almost impossible for outsiders to detect. Therefore, Qi Luomei hadn't thought anything was wrong with Jia Tong.

Qi Changran then horizontally held his longsword, facing Ding Fan. "Tell me, who are you, and what are you doing at Quanzhen Sect?"

The scene changed too quickly; even the disciples of Quanzhen Sect hadn't reacted yet. The Sect Master suddenly pointing his sword at his own sect's disciple was completely unexpected.

"I truly am an outsider..." Ding Fan began, then directly retracted his Duorou on his head, and his true appearance was revealed to everyone.

"Ah? So this Jia Tong isn't that Jia Tong..."

"What are you saying all mixed up, you should say this Jia Tong was impersonated by someone."

"I was wondering how this Jia Tong could be so powerful, killing several people from the Myriad Demon Sect with just a few strikes..."

"So he really is an outsider..."

The scene suddenly boiled over.

Ding Fan removed the Duorou, his expression indifferent as he continued. "However, I, as this outsider, harbored no ill intentions toward your Quanzhen Sect."

Upon hearing this, Qi Changran scoffed. "No ill intentions? Pretending to be a disciple of our sect, and you call that no ill intentions?"

"Master, please listen to me..." Cheng Bufan stepped forward at that moment. "Master, it's not like that; this man is my sworn brother, his name is Ding Fan. We had received news earlier that someone intended to harm our Quanzhen Sect, so my brother and I rushed here, but when we arrived at the gate, the gatekeeper wouldn't let us in. We had no choice but to think of impersonating someone..."

Qi Changran's face turned sour. "Cheng Bufan, are you still not learning from your past? It was because of your previous camaraderie with that Jin Minchong that you ended up falsely accused. Could it be that you don't think the person right now might harm you?"

"Master, it absolutely won't happen; I stake my life on it, my sworn brother is not that kind of person." Cheng Bufan thumped his chest.

"That's not something you can guarantee." Qi Changran said this, looking coldly at Ding Fan across from him. "Kid, I don't care what you want to do at Quanzhen Sect, but I advise you it's best to leave now. Otherwise, if we Quanzhen Sect have to defend against an enemy together, then even if we have to go down fighting, we'll spare no efforts."

Ding Fan's brows tightly furrowed; he was helping, yet the very people he was helping were not appreciating it.

However, Ding Fan was not willing to argue with these people. If it weren't for Cheng Bufan, why would Ding Fan have bothered with these matters? Now that Cheng Bufan had returned to the sect, Ding Fan had nothing to regret.

Ding Fan directly sheathed his Selfless Sword, then said to Cheng Bufan nearby. "In that case, big brother, let us part here..."

"Wait..."

Before Ding Fan could finish, Qi Changran had already stood up, blocking Ding Fan's way.
