Dragon Martial Sovereign

"Hmph!"

Lin Fan snorted coldly, and said disdainfully to a top-ranking member of the Guiyun Palace, "These are the people you've brought? I refuse to believe that they can represent the combat strength of Guiyun Palace's Peak of Life and Death Realm experts. If that were truly the case, Guiyun Palace would have perished long ago."

The senior figure from Guiyun Palace responded, "Young Palace Master, you merely instructed me to find cultivators at the Peak of Life and Death Realm before... You didn't say..."

"Hehe..."

Lin Fan chuckled.

As Lin Fan laughed, he only watched that person but did not utter a single word.

Seeing Lin Fan laughing in such a manner, the high-ranking member felt waves of numbness overtaking his heart.

Lin Fan then spoke, "Senior, I'm someone who particularly dislikes duplicity. Since you have not carried out my orders with your full dedication, I now declare that, effective immediately, you are no longer a member of Guiyun Palace!"

Lin Fan's words were tantamount to directly expelling this individual from Guiyun Palace.

In reality, Lin Fan had planned to make an example of this person, to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

The reason Lin Fan let this person choose the candidates was actually intentional. He had noticed earlier on that this person was from the Great Elder's faction. Now, although the Great Elder had already submitted under pressure, it was evident that his followers were still defiant.

Therefore, Lin Fan deliberately tasked this senior-ranking person to select individuals, seizing the opportunity to deal with him if not done properly and conveniently use him to set an example, making it easier to marshal the members of Guiyun Palace in the future.

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, others couldn't help but be somewhat shocked.

Everyone had not expected Lin Fan to expel that person from Guiyun Palace straight away.

It was known that this individual was quite capable and could be considered an expert, normally able to be of some help to Guiyun Palace.

Finally, someone spoke up, "Young Palace Master, Brother Wang Lin didn't have any ill intentions, so..."

Before that person could finish speaking, Lin Fan looked over at him and said indifferently, "Senior, as I mentioned before, I don't take kindly to deceit."

"Yes!"

The person acknowledged and retreated.

"Alright, you may leave now."

Lin Fan looked over at the senior-ranking person named Wang Lin and said lightly.

"Fine, you're ruthless!"

After grinding his teeth and uttering those words to Lin Fan, Wang Lin turned and left.

From Wang Lin, one could feel an endless tide of hatred.

Everyone watched Wang Lin's departing figure.

At this moment, they all had a complex feeling in their hearts.

They couldn't help but worry, considering Lin Fan's unreasonable behavior, whether one day he might also drive them out of Guiyun Palace.

Lin Fan seemed to sense everyone's thoughts and spoke out loudly, "Honored seniors, I know what you all must be thinking at this moment. Actually, there's no need to worry. I, Lin Fan, am clear-cut in rewarding friends and punishing foes. As long as we are united in purpose, I will naturally not make things difficult for you!"

With that, Lin Fan paused for a moment, then pointed to another high-ranking member and said, "Senior, if I may trouble you, please select twelve Life and Death Realm experts for me."

"Yes!"

After acknowledging the request, that person hurried to make the selection.

Before long, he returned with twelve experts at the Peak of Life and Death Realm.

Hesitating with a warning from the past, the strength of these twelve individuals was exceptionally mighty, representing the combat power of the Peak of Life and Death Realm.

"Very good!"

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Proclaim that, from now on, during the next period, you twelve must obey my orders unconditionally. Should anyone dare to defy, then, I will have no choice but to kill."

These twelve individuals looked towards Lin Fan.

Though they did not speak, their eyes were filled with disdain.

It was evident that they did not take Lin Fan seriously.

"Alright, you twelve, follow me!"

After speaking, Lin Fan walked directly towards a certain direction.

The twelve individuals also did not say much and silently followed behind Lin Fan, leaving together.

Once Lin Fan and the twelve had left, a Vice Palace Master of Guiyun Palace stepped forward and said to Ruan Hongying, "Palace Master, are you really going to let the Young Palace Master continue this reckless behavior? Although the Young Palace Master is your child, his character is too impulsive and self-centered. If he continues to control our Guiyun Palace like this, there's a possibility that one day our Guiyun Palace will face a catastrophe!"

Another person also quickly spoke up, "Indeed Palace Master, the Young Palace Master is still young. I think that the Young Palace Master should still go through some tempering. To grant him major authority now is indeed too premature!"

The others did not speak, but they all looked towards Ruan Hongying.

Clearly, they agreed with what the two had just said.

Ruan Hongying's eyes slowly swept over everyone, and she said indifferently, "What about the rest of you, do you all share this sentiment? If so, speak up now."

No one spoke.

But from the look in their eyes, it was obvious they indeed shared the same thoughts as the previous two.

"Hehe..."

Ruan Hongying laughed again and continued, "Since none of you are speaking, it seems you agree by default. In fact, I know that you're advising me for the good of Guiyun Palace, but...what I want to tell you is that no matter how you try to persuade me, I will not change my mind. I have said that from now on, Lin Fan will be in charge of Guiyun Palace, and all of you must listen to him unconditionally!"

The Vice Palace Master who had just spoken seemed a bit anxious and said, "But...Palace Master, this is truly too dangerous. I still advise that we let the Young Palace Master gain some experience first. I..."

Ruan Hongying interrupted him coldly, "Even if Guiyun Palace is used for Fan's tempering, it does not matter. At worst, Guiyun Palace will just perish."

What?

Everyone was shocked upon hearing Ruan Hongying's words.

To use Guiyun Palace for Lin Fan's tempering?

That couldn't be a joke, could it?

After all, Guiyun Palace was the undisputed leading force within the Ten Thousand Mountains.

And now, they were to be used for Lin Fan's practice?

...

Cloud West City!

At this time, Cloud West City was tightly besieged by several major forces, sealed off completely.

Especially among these major forces outside, there were many hidden super experts.

From time to time, the attackers outside would launch ferocious assaults against Cloud West City, now everyone's mind was set on one goal:

To breach Cloud West City!

They did not know why the Hierarch of Gaitian Alliance insisted on destroying Cloud West City, but they knew that the Hierarch must deeply despise Cloud West City. If they could take down Cloud West City first, the Hierarch of Gaitian Alliance would surely be pleased, and by then, they might even receive significant rewards.
