The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 692: Hastily Concluded

The unexpected arrival of Sect Leader Ji Dingtian and the three revered sages of the Ghost Doctor Sect left the representatives of other sects present confused, for it was known that the Ghost Doctor Sect usually did not attend the invitations of other sects. Although the Guiyuan Sect’s Sect Leader, Du Wannian, had symbolically invited the Ghost Doctor Sect to his grand birthday celebration, he had not anticipated that they would truly attend, let alone that the Sect Leader of the Ghost Doctor Sect would come himself, accompanied by the three notoriously eccentric sages.

Since the Ghost Doctor Sect possessed profound medical skills, many of the top and second-tier forces in the Ancient Martial World were indebted to them. Guiyuan Sect’s Sect Leader, Du Wannian, did not dare to slight the guests from the Ghost Doctor Sect and quickly stepped forward to say, "Sect Leader Ji, we’ve had a bit of an unforeseen incident today at our Guiyuan Sect. Could I ask you to wait to the side for a while? My birthday banquet will proceed on time shortly."

Grandfather of Du Wannian, Du Fuwei, who was also aware of the unique status of the Ghost Doctor Sect in the Ancient Martial World, therefore refrained from immediately scolding the Guiyuan Sect disciples for starting a fight with the people from the Xuantian Sect. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Ji Dingtian and asked, "Dingtian, it’s been over a decade since we last met, right? I remember when I visited the Ghost Doctor Sect, I personally held you in my arms. How’s old Ji Shunde doing?"

"My father is in great health, thank you for asking, Elder Du. Is something the matter here?" Ji Dingtian asked, although he somewhat knew the answer. He had been aware that Ye Chenfeng and others intended to stir trouble at the Guiyuan Sect beforehand.

However, Du Fuwei was unaware of Ji Dingtian’s thoughts. Hearing Ji Dingtian’s question, his anger surged but did not show, as he said, "Dingtian, today was supposed to be my grandson Du Wannian’s grand fiftieth birthday celebration, but Xuantian Sect chose today, of all days, to cause trouble at our sect. They even killed my great-grandson Du Baiping and crippled the limbs of Zhong Tianchi, the Sect Leader of the Xuantian Sect. Xuantian Sect’s actions are utterly despicable."

"Dingtian, will your Ghost Doctor Sect lend us a helping hand?" Du Fuwei was inwardly wary of Ye Chenfeng. With the Ghost Doctor Sect’s arrival, he saw an opportunity, as he had a minor kinship with a former Sect Leader of the Ghost Doctor Sect, which was why he made this request.

Upon hearing this, Ji Dingtian did not expect that the Xuantian Sect had also been dragged into the affair. He nodded and said, "Elder Du, rest assured, our Ghost Doctor Sect will certainly see this matter through to the end."

Upon hearing Ji Dingtian agree so readily, Du Fuwei immediately let out a hearty laugh and said, "Dingtian, I like your straightforward spirit! Once we’ve captured these troublemakers from Xuantian Sect, I’ll make sure we have a few good drinks together later."

"Xuantian Sect is truly doomed now. With the Ghost Doctor Sect getting involved, the people of Xuantian Sect probably won’t leave Guiyuan Sect today," someone said.

"That sounds about right. Many of us here have been indebted to the Ghost Doctor Sect in the past. If the Ghost Doctor Sect takes action shortly, how could we just stand by and watch? Thus, Xuantian Sect will have no choice but to surrender," another chimed in.

...

After Ji Dingtian had readily agreed to Du Fuwei’s request, the people from other sects present once again couldn’t resist discussing among themselves.

But at that moment, Ji Dingtian coughed lightly and stepped beside Ye Chenfeng, his eyes looking at Du Fuwei as he said, "Elder Du, have you misunderstood my intention? Indeed, our Ghost Doctor Sect will see this matter through to the end. However, today we are here to ensure the safe departure of the people from the Xuantian Sect."

"Elder Du, shouldn’t you give us, the Ghost Doctor Sect, some face?" Ji Dingtian asked with a smile that was not quite a smile. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Ji Dingtian’s words dropped like a bombshell, sparking even more vigorous discussion among those present, while Du Fuwei, who was previously in high spirits, nearly choked on his own blood in astonishment. Was Ji Dingtian playing him all this time?

Du Fuwei’s face turned completely dark as he barked, "Ji Dingtian, what is the meaning of this? Are you toying with me? I had some connection with your father; are you trying to tell me that your Ghost Doctor Sect is now standing against our Guiyuan Sect?"

Ji Dingtian patted Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder and said, "Even if our Ghost Doctor Sect didn’t want to oppose the Guiyuan Sect, it seems we have no choice now. This young man has unraveled the mystery of the Ghost King Thirteen Needles. From now on, every member of our Ghost Doctor Sect, from top to bottom, will heed his commands. So, it’s best if you let us leave today, Elder Du."

The young man from Xuantian Sect has unraveled the Ghost King Thirteen Needles?

Undoubtedly, this was yet another blockbuster announcement. The Ghost King Thirteen Needles were seen by these second-rate and first-rate powers as an incredibly mysterious set of acupoint techniques. Members from the various sects had also attempted to decipher them, but in the end, those who understood them either became idiots or went blind. Thus, the Ghost King Thirteen Needles became even more mysterious in the eyes of the first and second-rate powers.

The people from the other sects had just witnessed the formidable strength of Ye Chenfeng, and now, having heard that Ye Chenfeng had mastered the Ghost King Thirteen Needles, the phrase "One destined to rise" popped into their minds.

Whomever was destined to rise would always have exceptional luck throughout their life, they would manage to turn every danger into safety, and their strength would increase much faster than ordinary people, sometimes by dozens of times, or even more.

Upon closer examination, Ye Chenfeng met all these criteria. Despite his young age, he already possessed outstanding strength; the Ghost King Thirteen Needles, which no one else could decipher, were deciphered by him. All of these facts pointed to Ye Chenfeng’s extraordinary fortune, which was why many present believed that Ye Chenfeng was one destined to rise.

After hearing that Ye Chenfeng had deciphered the Ghost King Thirteen Needles, Du Fuwei’s face shifted continuously. How could he willingly let Ye Chenfeng leave just like that? He said, "Ji Dingtian, even if your Ghost Doctor Sect decides to side with Xuantian Sect, don’t forget that this is Guiyuan Sect’s territory. Over the years, our Guiyuan Sect has accumulated some power. We’re not a place where just any cat or dog can come and cause trouble."

Ji Dingtian simply smiled noncommittally and said, "Du Fuwei, today, you cannot stop us from leaving."

As soon as Ji Dingtian finished, the three elders of the Ghost Doctor Sect, Tang Bosheng, Hua Wentong, Luo Nanchen, who stood behind Ji Dingtian, swept their gazes towards the people from the other sects around them.

First, Tang Bosheng pointed at a middle-aged man and said, "Sect Leader Hu, your life was saved by me a year ago. If it hadn’t been for me, you would have long departed this world. Isn’t today the day for you to step forward and speak up for justice?"

Then, Hua Wentong also stood up, pointing at an old man in his fifties to sixties, and said, "Sect Leader Zhou, your wife and son were gravely ill three years ago. They were hanging on by a mere breath in their throats. It was fortunate that I acted to drag them back from the brink of death at Ghost Gate Pass. Are you intending to stand by and just watch the show today?"

Finally, Luo Nanchen stood up, addressing a middle-aged man in his forties, "Sect Leader Lyu, five years ago, everyone in your sect contracted a very difficult to cure contagious disease. Your sect was on the verge of annihilation. It was I who stepped in and saved your sect. So, Sect Leader Lyu, you shouldn’t just stand by today, should you?"

...

The three saints of the Ghost Doctor Sect named more than a dozen people in succession. These individuals were sect leaders from various major sects, incorporating both first-rate and second-rate powers, all of whom owed favors to the Ghost Doctor Sect.

When these sect leaders were named by the three saints of the Ghost Doctor Sect, they stood up one after another and walked over to Ji Dingtian’s side. By their actions, they indicated that today, they were inevitably going to side with Ghost Doctor Sect and Xuantian Sect.

Seeing this result, Du Fuwei and Du Wannian among others had expressions that flickered uncertainly. Now, with so many sects declaring their stance, even if this territory belonged to Guiyuan Sect, insisting on confrontation would likely lead to a very dire outcome.

Ji Dingtian looked at Du Fuwei and asked, "Elder Du, can you let us leave now?"

Du Fuwei felt extremely vexed within, with a surge of blood rushing inside him. He thought of himself, a mighty Innate Middle Stage expert, as someone with one of the top strengths among the first-rate and second-rate powers. Yet, he had to suffer this indignity? Not even able to avenge his great-great-grandson was a bit too much to swallow, wasn’t it?

But in the current situation, the best course of action was to let the people of Xuantian Sect leave.

Thus, today was destined to end rather abruptly. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to cast your votes and monthly tickets in support. It is your encouragement that is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please browse to m.qidian.com to read.)
