From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

"You!" Zhang Yi Nian shouted but couldn't do much other than grit his teeth.

His ear had healed but the fear of what she might be up to with his ear made him uncomfortable.

"Father!" Zhang Xi came over to his side and checked on him.

He raised his hand and said, "Don't worry. I'm fine. How is Lin Fan?"

Zhang Xi sighed with relief and glanced over at Lin Fan, who was being checked on by Hun Yen Kun.

"He is doing fine. What shall we do now?" She turned back to Zhang Yi Nian and said.

Zhang Yi Nian looked at the body of the elder, thought for a moment and said, "Bring the body back. I'm sure Zhao Ming Ye can get some valuable information out of it."

He had to hurry.

Every time they were blindsided by the Dark Lotus Sect meant death and serious damage.

This time it was Hong Feng City.

But next time it might be Qing Feng Sect.

Lin Fan swallowed a Heavenly Rejuvenate Pill and recovered from his wounds.

His Qi and energy were also replenished by the pill.

There was much to think about after the long fight with Li Rong.

His strategy of getting a demonic beast core for the amulet played out well.

What stood out to him, however, was how powerful the Sword Pill from Jian Xin was.

This Sword Saint must be a very powerful sword cultivator.

He had better stay in cover and not be found out by Jian Xin.

In the worst case, he would make use of the favor owed to him by Jian Xin.

"Guo He Ru!"

Governor Lu's voice erupted in the air and broke Lin Fan's thoughts.

He had returned with Ho Ming, Jian Xin and the Raging Tiger Army.

The sounds of heavy footsteps came closer to where Lin Fan and the rest were.

"Guo He Ru?" Zhang Yi Nian and the rest looked at Lin Fan with confused looks.

"Shh." Lin Fan put his index finger to his lips for them to keep quiet about it.

When Governor Lu saw that Lin Fan was all right, he patted his chest and gave out a sigh of relief.

He went over to Lin Fan, checked on him and said, "Thank the heavens that you are safe. Thank you for saving my life! I owe you."

"No need to owe me anything. I just want my reward." Lin Fan shrugged and said.

Governor Lu nodded and said, "Sure, it was a deal. But I need some time to sort things out. The city needs me now."

"Not a problem. Just send the reward to Qing Feng Sect, addressed to Ho Ming when you have time for it." Lin Fan replied.

Jian Xin was around, so he had better not mention his name, Lin Fan.

And since they were on the topic of returning rewards, Jian Xin stepped in and said, "I shall repay your favor for saving my life someday. But I will have to go to the north to seek this Lin Fan first."

After that, Jian Xin bid farewell to 'Guo He Ru'.

"Hope you can find Lin Fan soon."

'Guo He Ru' quickly wished him well and waved at Jian Xin as he left.

A huge stone lifted from his mind for the time being.

Governor Lu then started to organize the troops and his men to keep the city in order.

Lin Fan and Ho Ming stayed behind while the rest from Qing Feng Sect made their way back to the sect.

They had to return to the temple to check on Ho Jie and Daoist Master Lee.

Along the way back to the temple, Lin Fan saw that the survivors were again trying to get over their grief and get things back in order.

The Raging Tiger Army was stationed all over, preventing anyone from looting.

Families tried to seek out and gather back where the lost ones were.

Sadly, most came back in a cold and lifeless form.

"It's him."

"I remember him. He and the young man fought valiantly against those devils."

"Yes. It's them. They stood up to the army of madmen alone."

"Thank you for saving us!"

The survivors saw Lin Fan and Ho Ming and recognized them.

They cheered and thanked them as they walked past.

Some even tried to give them whatever valuables they had left on them to thank them.

When they reached the temple, Ho Jie was waiting for them.

He was bandaging his arm with a strip of cloth torn from his top.

"Are you all right?" Ho Ming asked with a concerned look.

"Nothing this old man hasn't been through before." Ho Jie chuckled and said.

Ho Ming passed Ho Jie a Blood and Qi Restoration pill.

"Thanks." Ho Jie took the pill and chuckled loudly.

His eyes closed as he chuckled, a drop of tears could be seen at the side of his eyes.

Lin Fan shook his head at Ho Jie's strange insistence on not letting Ho Ming know who he was.

Daoist Master Lee was on his bed with his eyes closed when Lin Fan entered the room.

Lin Fan gently shook him.

"I'm awake." Daoist Master Lee said as he tried to get up.

Lin Fan took out the Peach Wood Sword and the Eight Trigram Mirror.

"I know it might be too much, but I might need these for a longer time." He said.

Lin Fan waited anxiously for Daoist Master Lee's answer.

The Ghost Cultivator, Li Rong wasn't dead and it was best that he had the artifacts to deal with her later.

To his relief, Daoist Master Lee smiled and nodded.

"Take it. It's for your help in keeping the temple safe." Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

"Thank you so much, Daoist Master Lee." Lin Fan quickly clasped his hands together and bowed.

…

When Zhang Yi Nian and the others got back, the first thing Zhang Yi Nian did was to get the body of the elder to Zhao Ming Ye.

He desperately wanted to know what Li Rong was up to with his ear.

Lin Fan and Ho Ming returned later as they went back on horseback.
