From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

"Stop... I'm sorry, please come in, dear guests."

The waiters tried to stop them from entering but let them in when they recognized Ho Ming and Ho Jie.

Lin Fan smiled at the waiters and asked, "What's happening?"

"These disciples of the Lady Saint seem to have gone crazy.

"They are creating trouble as they roam through the city.

"Our inn nearly got thrashed, but fortunately the constables came in time."

The waiter said and pointed at the broken tables and chairs that were stacked up in a corner.

Lin Fan thanked the waiter, and they went to the dining area for lunch. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

He listened intently to the chatter that was going on.

"Why are you still here? Better get out as fast as you can."

"I tried, but these crazy disciples are everywhere."

"The Governor had better do something about these lunatics soon."

Merchants who tried to leave were trapped, and they had to wait until the disciples were taken care of before daring to make a move.

"Sorry, but does anyone know why there are so many men coming here for refuge? Are they the Lady Saint's disciples?"

Lin Fan walked over and interrupted their conversation.

He had to figure out what the relationship was between the Lady Saint's disciples and these men.

"Oh. Those men have nothing to do with the disciples.

"I tried to talk to them, but most just stared at me with a stern look and didn't say anything.

"One of them did, and he said they were from the north and he was here to try and get away from the cold and war."

Lin Fan frowned and mumbled to himself, "From the north..."

These were most likely remnants from Tan Xiao Yao's Army.

It was definitely not a coincidence that they were here right when the Lady Saint's disciples were causing trouble.

He knew he had to find Governor Lu and brief him on those men he saw.

Also, he could take the opportunity to warn Sima Liang of what was happening.

After he finished his meal, he asked Ho Ming and Ho Jie to be on the alert and try to keep Daoist Master Lee safe.

He would meet them at the temple when he was done.

With everything settled, Lin Fan and the two of them went their separate ways.

...

Governor's Residence.

The residence was heavily guarded with all the commotion that was going on in the city.

Lin Fan was stopped by the guards as he was in disguise with the face mask.

"I have a message for the Governor from Lin Fan."

He had to show his wooden slab that proved he was from Qing Feng sect for them to let him into the residence.

The guestroom was as tidy as he had remembered it to be.

Everything was in order and in its place.

When Governor Lu entered the guestroom, he was huffing and puffing, trying to catch his breath.

"Please hurry with the message as I don't have much time. I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for Lin Fan."

Governor Lu was grateful for Lin Fan's service protecting his son; he wanted to see what message Lin Fan had for him.

Lin Fan stood up and said, "Lin Fan has detected a fair number of soldiers from Tan Xiao Yao's Army who came into the city. You might want to check on their intentions."

"What?!" Governor Lu exclaimed loudly.

It was bad enough that the disciples of the Lady Saint were causing trouble, and now with remnants from Tan Xiao Yao's army, things were going to get worse soon.

The Governor composed himself after a few moments and asked the unfamiliar middle-aged man standing in front of him, "Do you know where Lin Fan is? I certainly need his help urgently."

"What's the reward for his service?" Lin Fan asked.

Are all Qing Feng sect disciples like this? Governor Lu thought silently.

This middle-aged man's behavior reminded him very much of Lin Fan.

Always ready for a good bargain.

"Fifty gold bars and a Golden Core Ascension Pill. That's all I can offer," Governor Lu said.

To his surprise, the middle-aged man shook his head.

"Lin Fan is already at Core Formation Level; he is not interested in the Golden Core Ascension Pill."

"What? Already at Core Formation Level?" Governor Lu couldn't believe his ears when he heard what the middle-aged man said.

"I, Guo He Ru, however, can help you for a hundred gold bars and a Golden Core Ascension Pill."

Lin Fan said a 'fake' name for himself and tried to get the reward from Governor Lu.

"Guo He Ru? How can I be sure you are as capable as Lin Fan?" Governor Lu was suspicious of this 'Guo He Ru' as he had never heard his name before.

Lin Fan took out the Peach Wood Sword, injected his Qi into it, and the Peach Wood Sword glowed with a bright red light.

Whoosh.

He unleashed all his Qi and the items surrounding him started shaking.

A golden sphere illuminated at Lin Fan's dantian.

Evidence of him being at Core Formation Level.@@novelbin@@

Lin Fan then thrust the sword at the ceiling.

"Argh."

A cry of pain was heard and a figure dressed in black dropped onto the ground from the ceiling.

Thud.

It was one of Governor Lu's secret guards.

Other guards immediately jumped down and more guards appeared from their hiding spots.

Lin Fan then stowed the Peach Wood Sword away and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"All of you stop," Governor Lu stopped his secret guards before things got out of hand.

He was now convinced that this 'Guo He Ru' could deliver.

His secret guards were at the peak of Foundation Establishment Level.

If 'Guo He Ru' wasn't at Core Formation Level, there was no way he could do this.

"Deal. I need you to investigate what they are up to and stop them," Governor Lu agreed.

"You won't regret it," Lin Fan laughed heartily and patted Governor Lu on his back.

Pretending to be someone with a different character.

Governor Lu nodded and said, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to subdue the disciples of the Lady Saint."

Lin Fan smiled as he saw Governor Lu leaving.

The Golden Core Ascension Pill would certainly be useful for Ho Ming.

After leaving the Governor's Residence, Lin Fan headed straight over to the Sima Family's mansion.

It wasn't far, and it took him around ten minutes to reach on foot.

When he arrived at the main gate, another man was waiting to enter too.
