From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Lin Fan turned around and it was Lu Ding.

Together with Lu Ding were the Left Prime Minister, Governor Lu and the soldiers from the Raging Tiger Army.

The Raging Tiger Army had entered Bian Jing City and was able to impose law and order.

They took a moment looking at the carnage.

Most of the soldiers from the Raging Tiger Army couldn't believe their eyes at what they saw.

The imperial court, which was once the apex of power in Quan Dynasty, now lay in ruins.

"Lin Fan, we have everything under control in the city now, other than some skirmishes with the soldiers loyal to the Emperor, there wasn't much of a resistance," Lu Ding walked over and said.

"What's your next plan?" Lin Fan glanced over at the Left Prime Minister.

He knew that the Left Prime Minister was crucial in getting things back up and running again.

The Left Prime Minister sighed and said, "First, we need to get to the crown prince and inaugurate him as the new Emperor.

"The crown prince has been waiting to ascend to the throne for more than twenty years.

"He would be more than willing to step onto the throne.

"And as his tutor when he was young, I do have some influence over him.

"First thing for him to do is to lessen the autumn harvest tax for this year.

"This should stabilize the hearts of the citizens.

"Next, we shall see to it that the crimes of the late Emperor Quan Shi are made known to the commoners."

Lu Ding and Governor Lu nodded to the Left Prime Minister's plan.

"Let me go get the crown prince," Lu Ding said and wanted to leave with his men.

However, Lin Fan tapped on Lu Ding's shoulder, stopped him and said, "We need to get back to the Qing Feng Sect first, wish you the best."

After hearing the Left Prime Minister's plan, Lin Fan had confidence that they would be able to execute it perfectly.

The Left Prime Minister's capabilities were apparent, even when he was under that fool of an Emperor, Quan Shi.

Lin Fan took a glance at Governor Lu, reminding him of their deal.

Governor Lu gave him a smile and nodded.

After witnessing how Lu Ding was framed and nearly losing his life, Governor Lu had more than just gratitude for Lin Fan.

"Take care, I shall send an envoy to the Qing Feng Sect when we have things under control," The Left Prime Minister bowed at the Qing Feng Sect members.

Zhao Qing Ying stepped forward and said, "I hope you wouldn't be like that fool Quan Shi."

With that, he took out a golden feather and hurled it into the air.

The golden feather became larger, and the Qing Feng Sect members stepped onto it.

Whoosh.

With a gust of strong wind, they lifted into the sky and flew away.

The Left Prime Minister looked up at them disappearing as he went into his own thoughts.

...

Qing Feng Sect.

Alchemy Peak.

When Lin Fan, Ho Ming and the other peak lords arrived at Qing Feng Sect, they stopped at the Alchemy Peak immediately.

Zhao Ming Ye's wound wasn't getting any better.

The flesh surrounding the wounds was now rotten, giving out a stench.

His skin around the wound had also turned black, and was slowly spreading outwards.

"Argh. I told you to be gentle," Zhao Ming Ye cried out in pain as Han Dang and Zhang Yi Nian carried him down from the golden feather.

"That's how I know you are still alive," Han Dang said.

"You..." Zhao Ming Ye wanted to chastise Han Dang but the pain caused him to pass out.

"You can't be serious. Fan Tian! Where are you!" Han Dang got anxious and shouted for one of the elder's names.

A man with gray hair came running out to the Alchemy Peak's entrance.

Lin Fan noticed that even though Fan Tian looked like an old man, his running pace and breathing were like a young man's.

When Fan Tian stopped next to Zhao Ming Ye, he didn't even pant a bit.

Most likely it was due to the pills that Fan Tian had taken, he thought to himself.

"Do you have anything to help?" Han Dang asked Fan Tian with an anxious look.

His eyes darted to and fro from Zhao Ming Ye and Fan Tian.

Fan Tian frowned and went close to Zhao Ming Ye.

He inspected the huge wound on Zhao Ming Ye's chest carefully.

Everyone held their breaths and waited for his answer.

To their disappointment, they saw Fan Tian shaking his head.

"This wound is inflicted by some high-level guardian beast. Its poison needs to be countered with something that's just as powerful."

"Something like Qing Feng Sect's guardian beast?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"I'm afraid our guardian beast does not have such antidote. And there isn't anything that I know of that can counter it."

Fan Tian took out a pill and helped Zhao Ming Ye to swallow it.

After a few moments, Zhao Ming Ye's pupils rolled, and his eyelids opened.

"That's all I can do for now. Bring him in. I will try to stabilize his condition for now."

Han Dang and Zhang Yi Nian immediately carried Zhao Ming Ye up and followed Fan Tian.

"You two go back and rest. Leave the rest to us," Zhao Qing Ying patted on Lin Fan and Ho Ming's backs.

"Yes, senior martial uncle," Lin Fan and Ho Ming bowed and left.

Even though Lin Fan wanted to get Guo He Ru involved, he decided to wait for a better opportunity.

Right now, it might be better for them to try out all the conventional avenues.

He knew Guo He Ru would shine if given the right chance.

...

Wooden Hut.

Lin Fan pushed the creaking door of the wooden hut open.

Coming back was always a calm, peaceful and endearing experience for him.

However, things weren't exactly peaceful this time.

Zhang Xi and Sun Hai were waiting for him inside.

When they saw Lin Fan back, they gave out a loud cheer.

"Welcome back!"
