Chapter 130: Chapter 95: The Idea of Creating a Mysterious Organization, The Ancestor of the Ding Family Emerges_2
But within the clan, the fall of clan members with certain cultivation levels was a piercing pain in Ding Fan’s heart.
Even within this short period of time,
his own Ding Family had lost several members with outstanding talents.
Ding Fan’s mood had inevitably plummeted over these few days.
Almost every day, he wore a somber expression,
emitting an aura that made others stay at a distance.
Even Feng Xingwen, the current Family Head of the Feng Family, dared not speak to Ding Fan in his usual sardonic tone these days.
It seemed as though he feared that Ding Fan might suddenly lash out and do something to his Feng Family.
…
In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
East Earth Town, Ding Family Manor.
Ding Fan was currently holding a report of casualties, silently reading with a gloomy face.
Just one day’s time,
and several more members of his Ding Family had been lost.
“Sigh…”
After a long silence, Ding Fan finally couldn’t help but let out a helpless sigh.
“As time passes by, the situation is getting worse.”
“If this continues…”
“Our family’s elite members will eventually run out.”
“Perhaps, it’s time to ask our ancestors for help.”
Thinking this to himself, Ding Fan silently stood up and then walked towards a mysterious courtyard deep within the Ding Family Manor.
…
The next day, at dawn.
When the sky had not fully brightened yet,
many commoners were still asleep.
The army under the Luo Family from Qingshi Town launched another frenzied attack on East Earth Town.
In response to the Luo Family’s attack, the soldiers on the city walls of East Earth Town,
as well as the descendants from those families,
were defending with all their might.
But no matter how hard these people tried,
their efforts seemed to be in vain.
“Family Head, nearly one-third of our elite descendants have been lost these past few days. If this continues…”
“Even if we narrowly win this war,”
“Our Feng Family will still face the dilemma of lacking successors!”
At the city walls of East Earth Town,
a Feng Family elder couldn’t help but express his concerns with a worried face.
“Who would like to see such a situation?”
“But apart from this, does our Feng Family have any other choice?”
Feng Xingwen glanced at Ding Fan, the current Family Head of the Ding Family.
He couldn’t help but sigh softly.
From the very beginning, the one who had forced him to bow his head was the Ding Family’s old ancestor in the Organ Refinement Realm.
One of the key reasons the Ding Family was able to emerge as the strongest clan among the many families of the five towns and possess the qualifications to command other families,
was precisely because of that old ancestor of the Ding Family.
Previously, the situation seemed under control.
It didn’t matter that the old ancestor of the Ding Family hadn’t shown himself.
Now, the situation had become so critical.
It was perhaps time for that old ancestor of the Ding Family to come forward, wasn’t it?
…
Atop the city walls of East Earth Town,
Just as Feng Xingwen was about to say something to the elder next to him,
suddenly, his gaze was captured by a figure.
He looked at the person dressed in black and white robes, with long, gray-white hair,
Whose slightly hunched figure seemed unremarkable at first glance,
and whose body was faintly surrounded by a decaying aura.
Yet it was exactly this array that captured everyone’s attention as soon as he appeared.
The atmosphere on the scene gradually quieted down with the arrival of the old man.
Everybody slightly bowed their heads, closing their mouths,
as if they dreaded attracting the old man’s notice.
“Elder Ancestor.”
Ding Fan noticed his family’s elder next to him.
He then silently took a step back and
bent slightly at the waist.
Lowering his head,
his face was filled with utmost respect.
“Can’t hold out any longer?”
The old man looked at the Luo Family forces still attacking the city, then at the soldiers and other family descendants around him who were putting up a desperate resistance, albeit with little effect.
For Ding Qianqiu, the old ancestor of the Ding Family with cultivation at the Viscera Refinement Initial Realm,
and just a step away from reaching the Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage,
his slightly cloudy eyes couldn’t help but flash with a touch of disappointment: “Has it fallen to such a state in just a few days?”
“Even to the extent that I must make a move…”
As he spoke, the old man let out another sigh.
Then, with his hands clasped behind his back,
he silently looked over at the Luo Family’s forces.
…
From the Luo Family Army, one could feel an intense martial aura rising to the sky.
As well as the Luo Family Army’s synchronized movements.
Their strong discipline and formidable willpower
made it clear that the rise of the Luo Family from Qingshi Town was not a fluke.
At least, the Luo Family seemed to be much stronger than his Ding Family.
“Oh?”
Just as Ding Qianqiu was about to say something to Ding Fan behind him,
suddenly, a Luo Family commander in the Bone Refinement Late Stage
charged directly towards Ding Qianqiu’s position.
“Elder Ancestor, be careful…”
Seeing the Luo Family commander in the Bone Refinement Late Stage approaching, Ding Fan couldn’t help but caution him.
But for the old ancestor of his family,
instead of backing away,
he actually took a step forward.
