Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Urgent Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Urgent “The upper echelons haven’t sent anyone to take over the North Town Hall yet, but it’s estimated that it will happen within these few days, and it may have so impact on the North Town Hall, as you are Master Ye’s direct disciple, you must be prepared,” Elder Miao said very seriously to Fang Lin.
Dugu Nian and Mo Yun both looked at Fang Lin, feeling so concern for him.
Fang Lin’s expression was grave as he nodded, aware that returning to the North Town Hall this ti might bring so issues that could very well affect him.
Without conversation, five days later, the Flying Boat arrived back at the North Town Hall.
Upon returning to the North Town Hall, Fang Lin imdiately sensed an unusual atmosphere.
Before, Fang Lin had beco Master Ye’s disciple and was expected to take over the North Town Hall without unforeseen events, becoming the next Hall Master.
As a result, so Pill Refiners from Alchemy Tao families held a repulsion, even hostility towards Fang Lin.
But because of Master Ye’s influence, these people did not dare to mistreat Fang Lin, even having to maintain respect in his presence.
Now, Master Ye had to relinquish her position at the North Town Hall due to so matters and went to Elder Tiankui.
Thus, Fang Lin at the North Town Hall beca a man without any foundation.
The Pill Refiners from Alchemy Tao families naturally didn’t take Fang Lin seriously anymore, and even showed a hint of mockery in their eyes upon seeing him.
Fang Lin naturally ignored these people, but he also felt a certain heaviness in his heart; with Master Ye gone, the North Town Hall was indeed on the verge of great change.
The next day, Mo Yun found Fang Lin with a serious expression on his face, and they talked for a long while.
From Mo Yun, Fang Lin learned more, the situation in the North Town Hall had beco very serious, not only because Master Ye had left suddenly, but it seed soone was stirring the pot from behind, wanting to muddle the waters of the North Town Hall further.
Currently, the North Town Hall was almost divided in two; the Pill Refiners from Alchemy Tao families banded together, led by so Elders and Stewards, choosing to fully support the newcor who would soon beco Hall Master, refusing to acknowledge Fang Lin as the heir to the Hall Master.
On the other hand, those Pill Refiners of humble origins supported Fang Lin, believing that even if soone else temporarily assud the position of Hall Master, Fang Lin remained the rightful heir and could ascend to the position of Hall Master once he beca a Grandmaster of Pill.
Because the majority of the Pill Refiners from Alchemy Tao families occupied the North Town Hall, Fang Lin’s situation was not optimistic; so radical individuals even suggested that Fang Lin should be expelled from the North Town Hall.
“It seems that so people don’t wish for to remain in the North Town Hall any longer,” Fang Lin sat opposite Mo Yun and, though he was sowhat angry inside, he maintained a composed deanor and even wore a casual smile, as if he didn’t care at all.
Mo Yun looked troubled and said, “The situation is really bad right now; not just for you, even we Pill Refiners of common backgrounds are being suppressed, with several already forced to leave the North Town Hall.”
Fang Lin took a deep breath, his smile fading, replaced by a cold and resolute expression on his face.
“Do you know who’s behind this?” Fang Lin asked.
Mo Yun nodded; having been in the North Town Hall for many years and possessing so foundations there, he naturally could find out a lot of information.
“With Master Ye gone and the most senior Elder Wang in seclusion for Pill Refining, Elders Yao and Feng are now in control of the North Town Hall. They both have close ties to the Alchemy Tao families, and it seems that not long ago, soone from the Ling Family secretly t with these two Elders,” Mo Yun said.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin understood; it seed that the current state of the North Town Hall was inseparably linked with the Ling Family.
The situation in the North Town Hall was extrely grim. With Ye ngxian gone, Elder Wang, who had the most seniority in the North Town Hall, should have been the one in charge. However, he too had closed himself off for pill refining during this ti and would not erge anyti soon. Therefore, the North Town Hall was being controlled by Elders Yao and Feng.
These two individuals, who were originally supporters of Zhu Yuntao and Shen Xue Jian, ca from alchemy families and were quite close with other alchemy families as well.
Moreover, the person rumored to temporarily take over as the Hall Master is also from an alchemy family. This ant that, in the future, the entire North Town Hall would not have a place for anyone other than the pill refiners from alchemy families.
In particular, Fang Lin would beco a pri target.
After all, behind the scenes, the Ling Family was pushing this agenda, forcing Fang Lin into a corner with no escape.
“I understand now; since these people want to play, then we can’t just sit by and wait for death,” Fang Lin said with a calm deanor.
Mo Yun looked at Fang Lin, frowning, “But what can we do? Not to ntion others, Elders Yao and Feng alone are a huge problem.”
Fang Lin nodded slightly, indeed, Yao and Feng were the biggest troublemakers, as most of the pill refiners were under their control.
Fang Lin felt a surge of killing intent, but he soon dismissed the thought of killing them both.
Regardless of how feasible it was to kill Yao and Feng, even if he succeeded, it wouldn’t completely solve the problem. It’s not possible to kill all the pill refiners from those alchemy families, is it?
If he couldn’t kill Yao and Feng, there was only one other option—control!
Take complete control of them both, turning them to his side. Only then would the situation in the North Town Hall change.
However, that was easier said than done. How could he accomplish this when Yao and Feng were not puppets to be manipulated at his will?
“It seems I’ll need to seek help,” Fang Lin said with a sly smile creeping upon his lips as he pulled out a jade slip. Without avoiding Mo Yun, he directly contacted soone using the jade slip.
On the other end of the jade slip, Lord Lu Feng of the Western Guarding Palace showed a pensive expression upon hearing what Fang Lin had to say. After a short while, he gave Fang Lin a response.
“Can do.” These two simple words were Lu Feng’s reply.
Fang Lin smiled, storing the jade slip away. After his discussion with Lu Feng, he felt confident about taking true control of the North Town Hall.
Mo Yun showed a look of surprise. Fang Lin’s conversation with Lu Feng hadn’t avoided him, allowing him to hear every word clearly.
Mo Yun hadn’t expected Fang Lin to be able to connect with such an influential figure as Lu Feng, let alone get him to offer assistance.
“Hall Master Lu Feng, will he really help us?” Mo Yun asked, sowhat in disbelief.
Fang Lin sneered, “Of course he will. Not only will he help, but he will also give it his all.”
Subsequently, Fang Lin shared his thoughts with Mo Yun.
“It may be a bit early, but since the situation is urgent, let the North Town Hall beco an item in my hand,” Fang Lin thought to himself.
