“Don’t go over there!”
The person who suddenly put a hand on Fu Piao Yao’s shoulder was Chu Fan.
“Why?”
“He looks so pathetic, I was going to give him some money!”
As she spoke, Fu Piao Yao even took out her wallet.
Chu Fan’s lips curved slightly, and he said with a smile, “If you go over there, you won’t see the sun tomorrow!”
What he meant was quite obvious.
Knowing that Chu Fan was immensely powerful and had keen senses, and that he wasn’t one for jokes, Fu Piao Yao quickly retreated and hid behind him.
“Is he a killer?”
Fu Piao Yao poked her head out and asked curiously.
“He doesn’t seem like it!”
“Regardless, he’s after me!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the old man who was squatting on the ground, trembling all over, suddenly stopped trembling. His lowered head slowly lifted.
“His senses are quite strong, just as they said. His strength isn’t weak either!”
Saying this, Old Man Ding slowly got up.
Having learned Chu Fan’s route, he had pursued him with all his might.
Because the large bus had been traveling on mountain roads, it couldn’t pick up speed. Old Man Ding, as a Grandmaster, had crossed rivers and scaled mountains in a straight line from Chang Sheng Sect.
His disguise as a beggar was intended to attract their attention. Once they got close, he would launch a surprise attack.
Although Old Man Ding hadn’t appeared in public for twenty years, it didn’t mean he had lost his mind.
The combined efforts of the Four Great Vajras hadn’t even managed to harm Chu Fan, leading Old Man Ding to infer that his strength was by no means weak.
To kill this man who had annihilated his clan, Old Man Ding had to resort to such means.
Alas, Chu Fan wasn’t falling for it.
“Who are you?”
“It seems like we’re meeting for the first time, aren’t we?”
“Do we have any enmity?”
Chu Fan had always known that many people wanted him dead, so he wasn’t the least bit surprised by Old Man Ding’s appearance.
However, he couldn’t determine which faction the newcomer belonged to.
By asking, he could find out who was trying to kill him, making it easier to settle the score later.
Old Man Ding looked at Chu Fan and said with a relatively calm tone, “My surname is Ding. I shouldn’t need to say anything more, should I?”
Chu Fan glanced him up and down, nodded, and recognized the disheveled old man’s origin.
At this moment, he was indeed a little surprised.
He hadn’t expected this old man from the Ding family, who was rumored to be long dead, to still be alive, and to have caught up so quickly.
However, thinking about what had happened earlier, Chu Fan couldn’t help but ask, “Old man, you’ve come looking for me, but it seems you’ve got the wrong person?”
The eldest generation, who had been in seclusion for many years, suddenly emerged and blocked his path. It was obvious he was here to seek revenge for the massacred members of the Ding family.
Where there is a debt, there is a debtor.
Chu Fan understood the anger and desire for revenge that arose from learning that his descendants had been annihilated.
It was just that he felt the Ding family members had died at the hands of the two Great Vajras of Chang Sheng Sect, not by his own hand. For this old man to come looking for him now seemed rather inappropriate.
“Wrong person?”
“Are you trying to say you did it but won’t admit it?”
Old Man Ding’s eyes, filled with indignation, stared directly at Chu Fan.
Chu Fan shook his head slightly. “It’s not that I dare not admit it, but it wasn’t me who killed the people of the Ding family. Why should I bear responsibility?”
“It wasn’t you?”
Old Man Ding’s voice suddenly rose as he questioned, “If it wasn’t you, then who else could it be?”
“Do you dare say you didn’t go to the Ding family?”
“Didn’t Wu Chang provoke you? Did you have to massacre so many people from the Ding family over such a trivial matter?”
“You are truly heartless.”
Due to his agitated emotions, Old Man Ding’s entire body began to tremble slightly.
Hearing this, Chu Fan realized that this old man had come to cause trouble without understanding the specific circumstances.
He chuckled nonchalantly and said, “I think your brain might not be working too well after being in seclusion for so long.”
“You came to me without understanding the specific situation; you were a bit too impulsive!”
“You’re right, I did go to the Ding family, and I did kill that Ding Wu Chang.”
“However, that doesn’t mean that because I went to the Ding family, I killed those people!”
Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in Old Man Ding’s eyes. He retorted, “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean? It’s simple. Those who died in the Ding family have nothing to do with us!”
“We are not so cruel as to slaughter innocent people!”
Fu Piao Yao also realized that this elder from the Ding family had clearly been manipulated by Chang Sheng Sect. If he knew that all the Ding family members were killed by the two Great Vajras, he would definitely turn his attention to Chang Sheng Sect.
Using a borrowed knife to kill, so as to preserve his own safety.
Hearing this, Old Man Ding’s sharp eyes narrowed.
From Chu Fan’s calm demeanor, it seemed he wasn’t lying.
“If it wasn’t you, then who else could it be?”
Although he hadn’t yet clashed with Chu Fan, Old Man Ding sensed a hint of danger from him, essentially confirming that the information he had received from Chang Sheng Sect was not false. Chu Fan was someone who even the Four Great Vajras found troublesome.
Since there was a misunderstanding, it was best to clarify it first.
Otherwise, once a fight broke out, it would be harder to sort out the specifics.
Chu Fan had largely guessed that Huo Dong had brought Old Man Ding here to use him as a pawn. He retorted, “What did Chang Sheng Sect tell you?”
“They said…”
After listening, Chu Fan explained, “The general situation is mostly the same, but some details have been altered!”
“For example, I was drinking tea at the Ding family when the Four Great Vajras arrived. Then they made their move. Realizing something was wrong, to appease my anger, two of them attacked your descendants.”
“As for the claim that I massacred them, it was merely an attempt to use me to eliminate you!”
A deep anger emanated from Old Man Ding.
Part of it was the frustration of being manipulated by Chang Sheng Sect and Chu Fan as a Grandmaster.
Another part of it was that Old Man Ding couldn’t understand why Chang Sheng Sect, to whom he had dedicated himself for its development, would now betray him, slaughtering family members simply to avoid provoking Chu Fan.
His thoughts gradually consumed by anger, Old Man Ding turned to return to Chang Sheng Sect, intending to thoroughly investigate who was responsible for the deaths of his family members.
However, as soon as he moved, Chu Fan blocked his path.
“What are you doing?”
“Are you trying to stop me?”
Old Man Ding’s bloodshot eyes stared directly at Chu Fan.
Chu Fan said very directly, “You’re going back to Chang Sheng Sect to get revenge, aren’t you?”
“There’s really no need to.”
“Want to know why?”
Old Man Ding clenched his fists, his face full of impatience.
Chu Fan continued, “Actually, at the time, I gave the Four Great Vajras two choices. One was that they would eliminate the Ding family, which had displeased me!”
“The other choice was that I would kill them myself, and then go and destroy the Ding family!”
“You…”
Chu Fan’s words almost made Old Man Ding spit out a mouthful of blood.
Just moments ago, he had said he had nothing to do with this matter.
And now, in the next breath, he claimed that the Four Great Vajras had acted under his coercion.
“Ah…”
With a roaring cry that echoed, Old Man Ding’s rage finally erupted. His figure flickered, and he lunged at Chu Fan.
