At this moment, the cultivators of the Wild Wolf Gang beside the middle-aged man were also extremely shocked upon witnessing this scene with Ding Fan. Evidently, they didn't expect that Senior Steward's swift sword could still be dodged by the opponent, which was simply unbelievable! It should be known that Senior Steward's sword is renowned within the sect, and hardly anyone can rival it. Even the elders in the Divine Transformation stage wouldn't find it easy to face Senior Steward's sword, let alone dodge it when he goes all out.

Yet Ding Fan managed to do it, and for a moment, the ordinary disciple of the Wild Wolf Gang was exceedingly shocked in his heart! Not only was this ordinary disciple deeply shocked, but Gao Feng, upon seeing this scene, was also immensely surprised. He evidently didn't expect the opponent to dodge his sword; his sword had already reached the opponent, how could he dodge it!

In just a moment, a thought flashed through Gao Feng's mind. Clearly, the opponent must not have dodged upon seeing his sword; the opponent had already started evading before his sword reached, which was clearly related to the opponent's fist technique. At this moment, the middle-aged man Gao Feng was very shocked, unable to figure out what kind of martial arts the opponent's fist technique was, that could be so balanced in offense and defense, with such an elusive footwork.

But in the next moment, Gao Feng could no longer think about this issue, as Ding Fan's fist had already landed on him!

Boom!

With a muffled roar, Gao Feng was directly blasted into the air. He hadn't thought much of the opponent's punch, after all, the opponent, even if as legendary as he was, was merely a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Early Stage. But what Gao Feng hadn't expected was the sheer power of the opponent's punch. As soon as the fist touched him, Gao Feng already sensed something was wrong, and his entire body was blasted away!

This wasn't the end. Gao Feng immediately felt an extremely powerful Arctic Chill invading his body. That chill was incredibly strong; in just a moment, it froze his True Qi completely, and by now Gao Feng could clearly feel that half of his body was completely crippled by opponent's punch, with all his True Qi frozen.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in Gao Feng's heart, and with a deafening thud, he fiercely crashed onto the ground, losing consciousness in the process, evidently having passed out. Ding Fan casually walked to the opponent's side, looked at the unconscious foe, and with a swift move of his hand, directly finished him off completely.

Upon witnessing this scene, the ordinary disciple from the Wild Wolf Gang was filled with shock and horror. Beyond feeling shock, disbelief, he also harbored intense fear! He had never imagined that Senior Steward couldn't even withstand a punch from the opponent and was directly knocked out, which was simply unbelievable! After all, Senior Steward was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, whereas Ding Fan was merely in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, yet managed to finish him off with one punch, which was truly unimaginable!

At this moment, the cultivator's legs even began to tremble uncontrollably, realizing that the opponent had just killed two of his nearby comrades without a word, evidently showing Ding Fan's deep hatred toward his sect. Even as an ordinary disciple, he was aware of the affairs of the Dayang Sect, and Ding Fan was evidently a remnant of it, harboring deep hatred towards his sect.

Now, this disciple contemplated the predicament he faced, feeling cold sweat trickling down his back, evidently aware he was alone now. The cultivator knew clearly that he was but an ant in front of Ding Fan, and it would be extremely easy for him to be slain, without even having the chance to escape! But at all costs, the survival instinct drove the Wild Wolf Gang cultivator to want to escape from here, far away from Ding Fan.

Yet when the cultivator attempted to move his legs, he embarrassingly found they wouldn't obey his commands, leaving him unable to take a step. A moment later, the cultivator channeled True Qi into his legs, adjusting his mindset immediately, aware that Ding Fan still stood beside Senior Steward's corpse without apparent attention towards him.

The cultivator steeled himself, mustered up his courage, and slowly took steps with wary eyes fixed on Ding Fan. His footsteps were light, and even his breathing was incredibly subdued. But after taking just three steps, an icy voice made his heart skip a beat in fright!

"If you don't want to die so fast, stay put there obediently!"

The cultivator heard Ding Fan's voice, causing his pants to become soaked with fear, his legs trembling as he stood motionless!

Ding Fan casually searched Senior Steward's body, and soon obtained a martial arts manual, and with a satisfied glance, he noticed the bold characters on it.

"Wind-like Sword Technique!"

Ding Fan had been very interested in the swordsmanship the middle-aged man had displayed. Although Ding Fan ultimately evaded the opponent's longsword, his clothes were evidently punctured by a large tear, hence Ding Fan felt a sense of awe. He realized the evasion of the opponent's sword wasn't due to any Divine Vigor or True Qi but just his Fist Technique, which had always been his trump card.

This fist technique was not only lethally powerful but also balanced in offense and defense, with its footwork being extremely elusive, making it rare for any cultivator to predict his swordsmanship accurately. But this time, his fist technique allowed the opponent's sword to pierce through his clothing, which piqued Ding Fan's interest in the opponent's swordsmanship, recognizing it as a remarkable skill nonetheless.

At this moment, Ding Fan briefly perused the "Wind-like Sword Technique" and discovered it had nine levels, and the middle-aged man had only cultivated up to the Third Level. Ding Fan felt a bit surprised, knowing the sword art of the middle-aged was already impressive, and believed that without the prowess of the fist technique, he would've likely been injured. However, Ding Fan hadn't expected the technique refined only to the Third Level possessed such power.

Ding Fan clearly looked forward to witnessing the power of the "Wind-like Sword Technique," but he didn't rush to explore it. Instead, he put the martial arts manual away, calmly turned his body, and walked towards the Wild Wolf Gang cultivator.

"If you wish to live a little longer, it's best to do as I say!"

Ding Fan spoke coldly at this moment.

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you everything! Just don't kill me... I'm begging you!"

At this moment, the cultivator's heart was filled with extreme fear. After all, he had no ability to resist in front of the other person, clearly scared to his core. He stammered as he spoke.

"Are all the disciples of the Dayang Sect imprisoned in your so-called Great Wilderness Mountain?"

Ding Fan asked.

"Yes, yes! All those brothers of the Dayang Sect are there, but it's got nothing to do with me. I'm just an ordinary disciple, and honestly, I hate what they're doing too. But I'm just an ordinary disciple and I don't have any say in it! I'm begging you, please don't kill me..."

The cultivator pleaded earnestly, clearly trying to say what the other wanted to hear. He knew Ding Fan was the most outstanding disciple of the Dayang Sect, so he knew how to speak flattering words.

"Enough talking! If you're so wordy again, I'll kill you directly!"

Ding Fan, naturally unwilling to listen to his nonsense, warned coldly.

"Where is the Great Wilderness Mountain?" Ding Fan asked.

"It's south of Dancheng, specifically on an abandoned mountain near the Wuling Mountain Range. Our Wild Wolf Gang's disciples guard there. If walking, it takes about two and a half days to get there from here. If you have transport, it only takes a day and a half. Of course, I saw that our elders in the Nascent Soul stage got there in just one day!"

Without daring to babble further, the cultivator answered directly.

"How many forces does the Wild Wolf Gang have there?" Ding Fan asked directly.

"There are about a hundred disciples. The Senior Steward you just killed was the highest-ranking officer there. There's probably no one left who can stand up to you, but our elders often go there for inspections, and their strength is hard to say! But they are definitely much stronger than the Senior Steward!"

The cultivator replied.

Hearing the information, Ding Fan had already grasped a lot about the situation at the Great Wilderness Mountain. At this moment, a trace of killing intent flashed in Ding Fan's eyes as he looked at the cultivator. Then Ding Fan quickly flicked his hand, and a Wind Blade flew out.

Shua!

The cultivator fell to the ground, his eyes filled with shock and regret. If he had known it would end like this, why did he join the Wild Wolf Gang? He realized there were many ordinary disciples like him in the Wild Wolf Gang, which had too many enemies!

Out of respect for the cultivator's honesty, Ding Fan did not make him suffer, but directly killed him with the Wind Blade. Ding Fan knew the Wild Wolf Gang had done countless evil deeds, and even if this cultivator did nothing, his hands couldn't be clean, especially since Elder Wang died at their hands. Thinking of Elder Wang's death, Ding Fan felt grief and anger for Elder Wang.

"Damn Wild Wolf Gang!"

With that, Ding Fan returned directly to the inn. The next step was to consider the formations laid by the Wild Wolf Gang in Dancheng, but before that, Ding Fan was very worried about the imprisoned Dayang Sect disciples. Ding Fan had heard before that Dayang Sect disciples were dying every day, which was Ding Fan's biggest concern.

There was no issue in Dancheng yet, but if he was a day late to the Great Wilderness Mountain, who knew how many more Dayang Sect brothers would die in that day! With this thought, Ding Fan discussed the situation with Zhou Ruoran and He Qianyao. When He Qianyao heard there were still living Dayang Sect disciples, her heart was filled with excitement. It was wonderful news for her, as the Dayang Sect was her former home, and having family alive was the most touching news in the world!

But when Ding Fan spoke of the Dayang Sect disciples' plight, He Qianyao felt as if her heart was being cut by knives, clearly understanding the suffering her family was enduring!
