In fact, it wasn't just the official disciple area. The core area was also in an uproar.
Many cultivators who had a good relationship with Ding Mu were puzzled when they learned that he had been heavily injured by a sparring partner.
However, when they understood the ins and outs of the matter, they were dumbfounded.
They couldn't imagine how an Ancient Life Realm sparring partner could be so powerful.
At this moment, they all thought of the sparring partner who had appeared out of nowhere a few years ago. Now, he had become a legendary expert of the Ancient Frigid Sect.
"Could it be that another Mo Hong has appeared?"
"Even the Mo Hong from ten thousand years ago couldn't have such terrifying battle prowess in the same realm, right?"
"That's right. Although Ding Mu hasn't stepped into the Star Venerate realm, he's still a half-step Star Venerate. He's invincible in the Ancient Life Realm.
Yet, he was heavily injured by this sparring partner called Fang Chen. How terrifying. "
"Just what kind of person is he?"
For a time, the core area was in an uproar. Everyone was discussing Fang Chen.
Time passed. Three days later, Ding Mu appeared in the official disciple area, causing a huge commotion.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't that Elder Ding? He's bringing Ding Mu to the sparring area. Is he looking for Fang Chen to ask for an explanation?"
"This is too much. Is he using an elder to suppress Fang Chen?"
When many official disciples saw this scene, they all followed Elder Ding and Ding Mu to the sparring area.
"Where is Fang Chen?"
Elder Ding stopped an ordinary sparring partner and asked in a deep voice.
The sparring partner stammered and pointed at the hundredth courtyard where Fang Chen was.
"Fang Chen."
Ding Mu's voice reverberated through the entire sparring area, sounding mighty and mighty.
Immediately, all the sparring partners gathered in front of the hundredth courtyard.
"Elder Ding?
Why has he come here? "
Elder Ding stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his pitch-black eyes staring at the hundredth courtyard. Beside him, Ding Mu's face was pale as he nervously waited for Fang Chen to appear.
Creak!
The door opened and Fang Chen strolled out.
He glanced at Elder Ding, then his gaze landed on Ding Mu.
"Did you bring the Star Stone?" Fang Chen asked.
Ding Mu's eyes were filled with madness. Flames of fury burned in his heart, but in the end, he forced himself to suppress it.
"I brought it."
Ding Mu said, "Remove the poison in my body first, then I will give you the Star Stones."
As Ding Mu spoke, he took out a spatial ring from his chest and shook it in the air.
"Are you negotiating with me?" Fang Chen frowned, somewhat displeased.
....
Ding Mu instantly became anxious. He turned his head and looked at Elder Ding for help. The latter stepped forward and grinned. "Young man, where it's possible to make mistakes, one should spare them. You and Ding Mu are both members of the Ancient Cold Sect. Why must you hurt each other?"
Elder Ding's words were flawless, but to Fang Chen's ears, they were exceptionally harsh.
"Take out the antidote. I'll give you the Star Stone," Elder Ding said slowly.
Fang Chen shrugged and said nothing.
A cold killing intent flashed in the depths of Elder Ding's eyes.
The surrounding disciples felt their hearts tremble. What sort of poison was this that even Elder Ding was helpless against?
It had to be known that Elder Ding was a true God. As for Fang Chen, he was only an Ancient Life realm martial artist.
"There's nothing to say. I'll only take out the Star Stone if I see it. Otherwise …"
With that, Fang Chen turned around and prepared to enter the courtyard.
Elder Ding's expression changed. Then, he nodded at Ding Mu.
"Here."
The spatial ring instantly shot out. Fang Chen stretched out his hand and caught it. He opened it and saw a total of 1 million Star Stones. With a thought, he stored these Star Stones in Dark Cave Mountain.
Then, he flicked his finger and a beam of light shot out. Ding Mu hurriedly reached out and caught it.
"This is the antidote?"
Ding Mu looked at Fang Chen in confusion.
The latter ignored him. Although he was suspicious, he still swallowed it.
Weng!
After the pill entered his mouth, the medicinal effects quickly spread. His corroded organs began to heal.
Seeing this, it wasn't just Ding Mu who was shocked. Even Elder Ding was shocked.
A moment later, Ding Mu's injuries were completely healed. The poison in his body had also been completely expelled. He was in high spirits and had regained his usual vigor.
After carefully examining Ding Mu and confirming that he was fine, Elder Ding smiled at Fang Chen. "Little friend, this old man is very interested in this poison of yours. I wonder if you can tell me about it?"
"Don't worry. This old man will definitely thank you."
Fang Chen shook his head, refusing Elder Ding's request.
How could he not know what Elder Ding was thinking?
Seeing how overbearing his poison was, Elder Ding wanted to take it for himself. Unfortunately, he didn't buy it.
"You don't need to worry. I'm just studying it." Elder Ding waved his hand and smiled.
However, Fang Chen still refused. "Cupping my fists, this is my unique skill. I won't pass it on to outsiders."
Hearing this, Elder Ding's face completely darkened.
"Kid, don't be so shameless. As an elder of the Ancient Cold Sect, I have a high status. Talking to you is already lowering my status. How can you be so ungrateful?" Elder Ding said coldly.
Ding Mu, who was at the side, also clamored. "Hmph, ignorant fellow. You even dare to offend Elder Ding. You're dead meat."
In Ding Mu's eyes, sparring partners had the lowest status in the Ancient Cold Sect. They should selflessly contribute to him.
"Haha."
Fang Chen sneered.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you."
Elder Ding's expression changed. He said meaningfully, "This old man has been researching a secret skill recently. I've consumed a large amount of star stones and am a little short on money.
I wonder if you can lend me some star stones.
Don't worry. After I've researched the secret skill, I'll definitely return it double. "
The surrounding disciples rolled their eyes. Wasn't this too shameless?
How could he ask for star stones so brazenly?
"Sorry, I'm not lending," Fang Chen replied cleanly.
"Don't go overboard. Do you believe that I won't kill you in front of everyone?" Ding Mu roared angrily, threatening Fang Chen.
Fang Chen spread out his hands and said disdainfully, "You think you can do that?"
"You …"
Ding Mu was furious, but he didn't dare to make a move.
After all, he was very clear about how terrifying Fang Chen's strength was.
The reason why he dared to challenge Fang Chen was because Elder Ding was backing him up.
His gaze fell on Elder Ding. "Elder Ding, a mere sparring partner dares to treat you like this. Can you tolerate it?
If I remember correctly, sparring partners are the lowest in the Ancient Cold Sect. Even if you kill them, the higher-ups won't say anything. "
"This kid is arrogant and has provoked Elder Ding time and time again. He even threatened to wipe out all the disciples in the core area. It's simply unreasonable.
The existence of such a person has seriously destroyed the order in the Ancient Cold Sect.
Elder Ding, please kill this kid and return peace to the Ancient Cold Sect. "
Everyone was completely speechless at Ding Mu. They couldn't imagine that a human could be so despicable to such an extent.
Elder Ding, who was standing at the side, stared at Fang Chen without blinking.
Boom!
Suddenly, a vast aura was emitted from his body. The entire area became extremely oppressive.
Fang Chen felt that his body was restrained and he couldn't move.
"Is this the power of a Divine Sovereign?"
Fang Chen murmured. He was shocked.
According to his estimation, Elder Ding's cultivation should have reached the legendary Holy Sovereign Realm. He wasn't someone a Star Sovereign could compare to.
In front of Elder Ding, he didn't even have the chance to make a move.
However, he wasn't afraid of Elder Ding. He had already guessed that such a situation would happen. When he detoxified Ding Mu, he held back.
"Elder Ding, are you sure you want to make a move?"
Fang Chen asked calmly.
"You asked for it," Elder Ding said.
Fang Chen pointed at Ding Mu and said, "If you want to see him die with your own eyes, then do it."
As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, Ding Mu started foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground. He fainted instantly.
"What's going on?"
Elder Ding hurriedly checked Ding Mu's body. Soon, his face became gloomier.
"What did you do to the elixir?" Elder Ding asked angrily.
"Take out the real antidote."
Elder Ding's body exuded an unparalleled power, forcing Fang Chen.
