Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand Feng and Yao, these past days within the North Town Hall, could really be described as commanding wind and rain at will, having taken complete control over the hall into their hands.

In the past, they were also powerful elders within the North Town Hall, with exceedingly high status, but ultimately there was still Ye Mengxian, the Hall Master above them, as well as Elder Wang, an elder with extremely high seniority. Even if the North Town Hall was without a leader, it would not have been their turn to command wind and rain.

Perhaps it was a turn of fortune, but now, it was they who were calling the shots in the North Town Hall.

However, they had not forgotten what they needed to do, so they did not dare to slack off and were continuously making preparations.

As the day when the new Hall Master would arrive drew ever closer, Feng and Yao were also quite expectant, after all, they already knew that the newcomer was from a family of Alchemy Tao, akin to being one of their own.

Suddenly one day, Fang Lin sought out Feng and Yao.

“Elder Feng, Elder Yao, there are some matters that this junior would like to discuss with you,” Fang Lin said with a smile as he looked at Feng and Yao.

Elder Yao wore an expression of displeasure, not even giving Fang Lin a glance, while Elder Feng looked at Fang Lin indifferently, saying, “Whatever the matter is, come back in a few days and tell us about it.”

Fang Lin shook his head: “This matter is very important, it must be discussed clearly with the two elders right now.”

“Since that’s the case, then speak,” said Elder Feng, though there was also a hint of impatience in his gaze.

If Ye Mengxian were still in the North Town Hall, they certainly would not have dared to be so dismissive of Fang Lin, but now that Ye Mengxian was gone, in their eyes, Fang Lin was essentially a nobody.

What Heir of the Hall Master? With Ye Mengxian gone, who would take your so-called title seriously?

The corners of Fang Lin’s mouth curled up slightly as he slapped his Nine Palace Bag and took out a bottle of pills.

Elder Feng and Elder Yao both wore puzzled expressions, not knowing what Fang Lin was doing with a bottle of pills?

“Do the two of you know what pills are contained within this bottle?” Fang Lin asked with a half-smile.

“There’s no need for trickery before us, speak plainly,” said Elder Yao very impatiently.

Fang Lin nodded: “Elders, the pills contained in this bottle are an extremely potent toxic pill. If one were to ingest it and not have the antidote, death is certain within ten days, and it will be an exceptionally painful death.”

Upon hearing this, both of the men’s faces changed, and their gaze towards Fang Lin became especially sharp.

“Creating poisonous pills? What are you trying to do?” the two of them roared in anger.

Fang Lin let out a laugh, and with a wave of his hand, arrays surged forth, enveloping the whole hall.

“Not good!” Feng and Yao immediately sensed trouble and, without any hesitation, Elder Yao made a move against Fang Lin, while Elder Feng tried to rush out of the hall.

Fang Lin snorted coldly, paying no attention to Elder Feng, but instead confronted the charging Elder Yao.

“How dare you, Fang Lin! You’re simply seeking death!” Elder Yao bellowed in fury, his eyes flashing with killing intent, his whole body’s aura surging.

Unfazed, Fang Lin slapped his Nine Palace Bag, and the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear whistled out, carrying a momentum that could tear everything as it moved to strike at Elder Yao.

At this, Elder Yao’s expression instantly changed, because he felt an extremely powerful aura emanating from Fang Lin’s body.

“How is this possible?” Elder Yao was shocked, but at this point, he had to act, as the situation was like an arrow released from the bow, and he had no choice but to use all his might to strike.

Thump!

In the next moment, Elder Yao was sent flying backward, spitting blood, his face full of disbelief.

Although she wasn’t a Spirit Bone expert, she was of the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Vein, yet she couldn’t even fend off a single spear from Fang Lin?

On the other side, Elder Feng, who was trying to rush out of the great hall, was blocked by another figure.

It was none other than the Lord of the Western Guarding Palace, Lu Feng.

Lu Feng appeared suddenly, dressed in a black robe, scaring Elder Feng so much that he staggered back repeatedly.

“Lord Lu! It’s actually you!” Just as Elder Feng was about to speak, he didn’t expect Lu Feng to strike with even greater ferocity. The imposing pressure of a Spirit Bone expert descended, and in an instant, Elder Feng was subdued.

The gap was too wide to contend with. Elder Feng, like a small chicken, was held in Lu Feng’s hand, sealed completely, unable to move.

Meanwhile, Fang Lin had also defeated Elder Yao. The Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear was held in front of her, and she had a terrified look on her face, not daring to make a move.

“Lord Lu, thanks for the help,” Fang Lin said with a grin, glancing at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng snorted, seeming quite reluctant.

“Lord Lu, what are you planning to do?” asked Elder Feng, his voice trembling.

Fang Lin laughed, “I’m not planning anything. Lord Lu has just come to do me a small favor. Now, you will obediently swallow the poisoned pills inside these.”

Hearing this, Lu Feng’s mouth twitched, and he gave Fang Lin an odd look.

This was how it was, he had been forcibly fed poison pills by Fang Lin, so now he was still controlled by Fang Lin.

To think that Lu Feng, a venerable Hall Master and a Spirit Bone realm expert, was being controlled in such a way by a mere youngster—it was something he could not reconcile with.

Now, seeing someone else about to become like him, Lu Feng felt somewhat balanced in his heart.

Elders Feng and Yao had faces full of fear, pleading repeatedly, hoping they would be spared.

“Don’t be afraid. These poison pills won’t kill you if you take them. As long as you regularly take the pills I give you, you can alleviate the poison. The condition is that you obey me. Otherwise, I won’t be giving you the antidote,” Fang Lin said, his face still showing a harmless expression as if he were discussing something very mundane.

But in the eyes of Elders Feng and Yao, Fang Lin was simply the most terrifying demon, the kind that devoured people without spitting out their bones.

“Fang Lin, aren’t you afraid of causing a great disaster by doing this?” Elder Yao, disheveled and with a mournful expression, said.

Elder Feng, not uttering a word, glared at Fang Lin and Lu Feng with deep resentment in his eyes.

Fang Lin chuckled, “Afraid of what? Weren’t you already prepared to make a move against me? I was just one step ahead of you.”

This statement enraged Elder Feng and Elder Yao even more. They did indeed plan to strike at Fang Lin, intending to strip him of his position and expel him from the North Town Hall as soon as they could rely on the Hall Master’s trust, thereby giving the Ling Family an opportunity to take action.

Whether Fang Lin lived or died thereafter would have nothing to do with them.

But they had never expected Fang Lin to act faster than them, and he had brazenly employed a thunderous approach, swiftly subduing both of them.

Most inconceivable was that Fang Lin had actually enlisted the help of the Lord of the Western Guarding Palace, Lu Feng.

What kind of person was Lu Feng? How could he possibly be helping Fang Lin? Moreover, there had been rumors that Lu Feng was supposed to have some grievances with Fang Lin.

“Lord Lu, these two are not very cooperative. Please make them swallow these poisoned pills,” Fang Lin said, giving Lu Feng a casual look.

Lu Feng snorted, extremely dissatisfied with being ordered around by Fang Lin, but still took the jade bottle and approached Elders Yao and Feng.
