Chapter 873 Control Over North Town Hall

Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Control Over North Town Hall Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Control Over North Town Hall Under the forceful measures of Lu Feng, Feng and Yao had no chance to resist and were forcefully fed poison pills by Lu Feng.

As the poison pill entered their bodies, both tried to force the poison pill out, but to no avail; it seemed to have fused with their insides.

In less than a moment, Feng and Yao began convulsing on the ground like possessed, unable to utter a sound from their throats, suffering immensely.

Fang Lin watched with an indifferent face, while Lu Feng felt shocked within; he hadn’t expected Fang Lin to be so proficient in the art of poison. The poison pills he had crafted for Feng and Yao seemed to be even more potent than the one he himself had taken.

Considering this, Lu Feng grew even more wary of Fang Lin. A master poisoner like him could kill someone without leaving any trace if he truly wished.

“Lord Lu, I appreciate your hard work this time,” Fang Lin said, as he handed Lu Feng a pill.

Seeing this, Lu Feng hurriedly took the pill, sniffed it slightly, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

Only after taking the pill did Lu Feng breathe a slight sigh of relief; the poison in his body was about to take effect in the next few days, and he needed Fang Lin’s pills to suppress it.

“I have done what you asked of me,” Lu Feng said coldly.

Fang Lin smiled faintly, “Not to worry, there is still something else I need from Lord Lu.”

Lu Feng furrowed his brows, “What is it?”

“Help me claim the position of the North Town Hall Master,” Fang Lin stated calmly, his words startling yet resolute.

A trace of astonishment flashed across Lu Feng’s eyes. Fang Lin’s ambition was large, aiming for the seat of the North Town Hall Master—a not so modest goal indeed.

The position of a Hall Master was not one to be taken lightly. If Ye Mengxian were still the North Town Hall Master, then she could wait until Fang Lin became a Master of Alchemy, possessing enough realm and strength to pass the position onto Fang Lin.

By doing so, Fang Lin would also become a part of Ye Mengxian’s lineage, thus a subordinate of Elder Tiankui.

Without Ye Mengxian, the difficulty of Fang Lin aspiring to be the North Town Hall Master was enormously high. The first insurmountable hurdle was whether the higher-ups of the Pill Alliance would agree or not?

Clearly, allowing a youth not even twenty years old to become a Hall Master was simply a joke.

If the higher-ups of the Pill Alliance did not agree, then everything else was just empty talk, devoid of meaning.

Even for Lu Feng, the prospects of helping Fang Lin ascend to the position of the North Town Hall Master were slim; after all, it was not a decision he as a Hall Master could make on his own.

“You want to be the North Town Hall Master; perhaps in a few years it might be possible, but right now it is simply impossible,” Lu Feng spoke, his tone was cold, but his words were grounded in reality.

Fang Lin gave a slight smile, looking at Feng and Yao still convulsing on the ground, “I can’t wait for a few years, I want to be the Hall Master now.”

Lu Feng’s brows drew even tighter, “You’re dreaming. Without the strength of the Spirit Bone realm and the title of a Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner, the higher-ups would never let you become the North Town Hall Master.”

Fang Lin hummed in agreement, “Spirit Bone realm and Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner, I will reach both. But right now, what I seek is not the recognition of the Pill Alliance high-ups, nor a nominal position of a Hall Master. What I want is control over North Town Hall from the shadows.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng understood—Fang Lin aimed to be the actual ruler of North Town Hall, not merely an official Hall Master.

To put it plainly, Fang Lin wanted control over North Town Hall, not the title of the Hall Master.

“If that’s the case, it can be done, but it will also be difficult,” Lu Feng said after a moment of contemplation.

Fang Lin smiled and patted Lu Feng’s shoulder, “Isn’t that what we have you for, Lord Lu? What could possibly trouble the likes of you?”

The corner of Lu Feng’s mouth twitched. He truly wished he could just slap Fang Lin dead—the situation was getting more complicated, dragging him deeper into the mess.

Now, it was utterly impossible for Lu Feng to extricate himself, being under Fang Lin’s control, wondering when he might be able to break free.

“What do you want to do?” Lu Feng asked.

Fang Lin pondered briefly, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, “The new Hall Master of North Town Hall will arrive in a few days. Although he is appointed from above, there’s a saying that goes well, ‘even a mighty dragon cannot crush a local snake.’ Stabilizing his position in North Town Hall won’t be that easy.”

“Are you planning to isolate him, make him retreat knowing the difficulty?” Lu Feng said.

Fang Lin shook his head, “Not isolate, I’m planning to control him as well. Since that person wants to take the seat of the Hall Master, let him. However, who North Town Hall listens to will be up to me to decide.”

Lu Feng looked at Fang Lin in astonishment, unable to believe that such a young man could possess an ambition to swallow the skies, a courage not just anyone could have.

Meanwhile, Feng and Yao, who had ingested the poison pills, had also calmed down, looking as though they had recovered from a serious illness, listless and dispirited, suddenly aged a great deal.

“Gentlemen, do you wish to live or die?” Fang Lin’s gaze turned cold as he questioned the two.

Feng and Yao looked extremely distressed, filled with rage and frustration inside, eager to lash out and fight Fang Lin to the end.

But people are afraid of dying, especially those who have lived long, they fear death even more.

“We want to live,” the two said in a low voice, and with those words, they completely submitted to Fang Lin.

“Hmm, as long as you obey, I will provide you with the antidote. But if you harbor any schemes, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Fang Lin said coldly.

“We dare not,” Feng and Yao hurriedly bowed with their hands clasped, assuming a servile demeanor.

Fang Lin then turned to Lu Feng, “You may leave once all affairs are settled.”

Lu Feng remained silent, he had no choice in the matter.

The many pill refiners of North Town Hall were completely unaware that at this very moment, the Hall had already changed hands. Fang Lin had employed extremely decisive measures to take control of North Town Hall.

Although the methods were not honorable, as long as they were effective, honor didn’t matter anymore. After all, Fang Lin’s strength was not yet sufficient to smooth out everything, so some unseemly methods were necessary.

Under Fang Lin’s orders, Feng and Yao reorganized North Town Hall, no longer allowing those pill refiners from alchemical families to target and oppress other pill refiners.

Furthermore, Feng and Yao publicly declared their recognition of Fang Lin as the heir of the Hall Master, affirming their unwavering support for him, even when the new appointed Hall Master arrives, they would resolutely stand with Fang Lin.

This took many people by surprise, particularly the pill refiners from alchemical families, who were utterly astonished.

Despite the multitude of doubts, under Feng and Yao’s restructuring, North Town Hall was now in Fang Lin’s grip; even though he was not the Hall Master, he could manipulate the entire Hall as he pleased.

And seven days later, the new appointed Hall Master sent from above also arrived.
