175: One month period! It’s here!

The sky was overcast.

The black Qi from before surged again, quickly covering the firmament within a short time.

This kind of celestial phenomenon...

Represented that Protector Han of the Heavenly Soul Sect was about to arrive.

The Elders of the Sect’s Main Hall stood one by one.

And Lin Fan was even standing before many Elders.

At the very front of the mountain peak.

Yang Yucheng turned around, a playful look in his eyes as he gazed at Lin Fan, slowly smiling.

“Junior Brother Lin, come to the Upper Three Sects as soon as possible, otherwise you might never catch up to me, your Sect Head and Great Master Senior Brother, in this lifetime!”

“I’ll be waiting for you in the Upper Three Sects!”

Yang Yucheng chuckled.

Then, he ascended into the sky, flying into the overcast firmament.

His Revered Master had already come to pick him up.

Yang Yucheng wouldn’t make him wait too long.

He watched Yang Yucheng’s figure gradually disappear, even taking all the surrounding black Qi with him!

Lin Fan stood before the Sect’s Main Hall.

He wore a black robe, and his expression carried a hint of the authority of a superior, along with the pride of a Prodigy.

Even that ordinary face, with a touch of sincerity in his brows, now appeared extraordinary under the added weight of his identity and status.

Certainly not ordinary!

“I will, Senior Brother Yang.”

“You and I!”

“Will meet again soon!”

Lin Fan thought to himself.

During this time, he had almost finished collecting the Soul items.

His Revered Master was also about to wake up.

“Once we reach the territory of the Upper Three Sects, Senior Brother Yang! At that time, who will be the Senior Brother and who will be the Junior Brother? That’s still uncertain.”

“Perhaps one day, you’ll even need me to save your life!”

Lin Fan suddenly had such a thought, and likewise, he was filled with yearning and curiosity for the future!

Gradually.

Lin Fan’s clear eyes fell upon the ordinary, ancient-colored ring.

“Revered Master!”

“You and I, Revered Master and Disciple, will surely make a name for ourselves throughout the vast Northern Region! By then, it won’t be just the Northern Region under these mere Upper Three Sects, but the true Northern Region! Your Disciple will certainly be as you, Revered Master, said.”

“The undisputed number one person in the Northern Region, completely surpassing that Yang Yucheng!”

Lin Fan secretly swore.

Without a sound, Yang Yucheng seemed to have already become his next goal in life, which was truly quite strange!

“To!”

“From today, I, Lin Fan, am the Sect Head of the Fengyun Sect. Do any of you Elders have any objections?”

Lin Fan turned his head.

The rolling black Qi of the heavens and earth disappeared, transforming back into clear skies and bright Qi. The vast territory where the Fengyun Sect was located also returned to normal, becoming incredibly blue!

Lin Fan shouted loudly.

His resolute pupils shot out rays of decisive, murderous Qi!

At this moment, facing everyone.

“Greetings, Sect Head Lin!”

Great Elder Bai Yuanqi was the first to respond.

The other Elders also acknowledged the matter one by one.

This matter had been decided long ago, so they didn’t feel anything was amiss!

Even if Lin Fan might soon go to the Upper Three Sects.

However, going to and from the Upper Three Sects and their Sects below the Upper Three Sects wasn’t that difficult, so it wasn’t a bad thing; on the contrary, it was a great thing.

At least, it could prove that.

Their Fengyun Sect would become even stronger and more stable!

The difficulty for other Sects to invade would once again increase!

Sitting in Yang Yucheng’s former main seat, the position of the Sect Master!

Lin Fan felt a bit lightheaded.

He was high above, looking down at everyone, but this feeling of lightheadedness was quickly shattered by a somewhat tired voice.

“You little brat!”

“You got something that Yang Yucheng didn’t want, and you’re so happy about it. Can’t you show a little ambition?”

It was the Mysterious Old Man.

As soon as he appeared, he started scolding his precious Disciple, rolling his eyes back and forth.

Although his words were a bit harsh, they were, in fact, true.

“How is that possible?”

Lin Fan subconsciously retorted.

Immediately, a huge surge of ecstasy welled up in his heart, “Revered Master, you’re awake?”

“Nonsense! Otherwise, who do you think is talking to you right now?”

The Mysterious Old Man said grumpily, “It’s all thanks to the Soul items you collected during this time; they were somewhat useful.”

“Now, I’ve only just woken up for a short while.”

“Helping you overcome the heavenly obstacle of the Nine-Fold Wind-Fire Art, plus the Fallen Divine Phoenix in the Fengling Secret Realm, you can naturally become an Acquired Spirit Body, but it’s a pity.”

“It’s only just reached the A-grade level, and there’s still some difference compared to Yang Yucheng’s Heavenly Phoenix Spirit Body.”

“After all, that kid paid a very heavy price to obtain such a Spirit Body!”

The Mysterious Old Man had long seen the situation during the great battle that day, so he naturally knew many things.

“No problem, Revered Master.”

“We’ll take it one step at a time!”

Lin Fan nodded heavily, agreeing!

“Mm-hmm!”

Seeing this, the Mysterious Old Man also felt much relief in his heart.

Strong individuals.

On the path to becoming strong, and even on the path to becoming stronger, how could there be anything smooth sailing?

Setbacks, hardships, and even life-and-death crises—these were the norm, the usual!

Not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat.

If one were to lose their mind due to a momentary victory, or become utterly dejected due to a momentary failure.

Such a person.

Even if they could enjoy a moment of glory, they would ultimately just be a lucky kid, incapable of accomplishing anything, and certainly not worthy of being noticed by him.

This Mysterious Old Man, from a million years ago, from the ancient era, had taken note.

He had chosen Lin Fan as his Disciple correctly... Time passed quickly, practically flying by.

After a day.

Lin Fan, having dealt with the Sect’s affairs, felt utterly exhausted.

In the courtyard behind Tianqiong Peak, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was somewhat listless! He spoke to the Mysterious Old Man beside him.

“Oh, Revered Master, aren’t you going to lend a hand? Help your Disciple?”

“I’m really too tired!”

“Yang Yucheng, that scoundrel! How many days did he pile up the Sect’s affairs? He couldn’t have done absolutely nothing during his month as Sect Master.”

“Did he dump everything on me?”

“Revered Master, you tell me, don’t I, your Disciple, look like a big scapegoat right now!”

Lin Fan was exasperated, filled with a sense of wanting to cry but having no tears.

He wished he could just throw all these things away completely.

Seeing this, the Mysterious Old Man didn’t want to bother at all.

To help his precious Disciple improve his strength, enhance his cultivation, or guide him through life’s maze.

He could do that.

But when it came to such tedious, even heavy, Sect affairs, all sorts of big and small matters, that was simply a headache.

The immense workload was such that he had already delegated almost all the power that could be delegated.

But what remained was still as much as a small mountain, practically endless!

Finally.

All the Mysterious Old Man could offer was a light, dismissive remark.
