215: Conditions, how to convince the crowd? [Seeking follow-up reading]
"That's not what I said," Lin Fan smiled and shook his head, then continued, "I just said that I know the reason for the Great Desolate Tablet's dormancy."
"Once the reason is found, with Dao Sect's foundation, are you still afraid of not being able to solve the problem?"
Chen Zhen said, "First, tell me, why is the Great Desolate Tablet dormant?"
"Vice Hall Master Wu Dao's promise to me on top of Hundred-Dynasty Mountain hasn't been fulfilled yet," Lin Fan glanced in Wu Dao's direction and said with a faint smile, "This time, I need the Hall Master to fulfill the benefits first."
Wu Dao rolled his eyes and said grumpily, "Didn't I say that Lin Dong could undergo Dan River Empowerment next year?"
"A year ago, Lin Dong was only at Minor Achievement Manifestation Realm. Now, a year later, he is already at the Four Yuan Nirvana Realm. In another year, he might not even need Dan River Empowerment anymore."
Lin Fan's tone was calm, but his words made both Wu Dao and Chen Zhen's hearts tremble.
"As for me, there's no need to mention it. Within a year, I will definitely Breakthrough to Life Profound Realm. Only now can Dan River Empowerment still be of some use."
Upon hearing this, Wu Dao and Chen Zhen couldn't help but size up Lin Dong a few more times.
Lin Dong gave a dry laugh and said, "I just got lucky."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "How to choose is up to the two Hall Masters. Oh, and please don't say those kinds of words that Miss Ying Huanhuan said before to me."
"After all, I just joined the sect and haven't enjoyed any benefits from it yet. To ask me to selflessly dedicate myself, do you think that's possible?"
Chen Zhen had originally wanted to persuade Lin Fan, but Lin Fan's words directly shut him down.
"You brat, you're really not polite at all," Wu Dao glared at Lin Fan, then said to Chen Zhen,
"Hall Master, although this brat's words are a bit unpleasant, they're not wrong. Why don't we go discuss it with the Sect Master?"
Wu Dao thought highly of Lin Fan and subtly spoke up for him.
Chen Zhen pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said to Lin Fan, "If you're lying, then this Hall Master won't let you off lightly."
"Understood," Lin Fan nodded, completely unconcerned.
"Wait for the news," Chen Zhen waved his sleeve, left a sentence, and flew away directly.
"You brat, you really don't let yourself suffer any losses," Wu Dao looked at Lin Fan and said with a smile,
"The Hall Master and I will help you get the opportunity, but if any Disciple is unconvinced at that time, you'll have to deal with it yourselves."
Lin Fan nodded and said, "Vice Hall Master, rest assured on that point. If anyone is unconvinced, then our brothers will beat him until he is convinced!"
"What spirit," Wu Dao praised with a smile, then also floated away.
Lin Dong said with some worry, "Brother Lin Fan, is it okay to negotiate terms with the two Hall Masters like this? Otherwise, I won't need Dan River Empowerment, right?"
"Don't worry, these Seniors of Dao Sect are quite broad-minded," Lin Fan said with a light chuckle upon hearing this,
"Moreover, my conditions are more beneficial to Dao Sect, so they have no reason to object. As for those Disciples, it's inevitable that they'll have opinions, just beat them into submission!"
"Mm," Lin Dong nodded heavily, agreeing with these words completely.
"This brat, I really don't know what to say about him," above the small courtyard, Chen Zhen and Wu Dao, who had concealed their figures, watched the two in the courtyard and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads.
Wu Dao said with some anticipation, "Perhaps, the opportunity for our Desolate Hall to rise is about to come!"
"Let's go, let's find the Sect Master," Chen Zhen took a deep look at Lin Fan below, then said to Wu Dao.
After speaking, Chen Zhen immediately went to the palace where Sect Master Ying Xuanzi was located.
Wu Dao smiled and followed closely behind.
Borrowing the Dan River from other halls and involving the Great Desolation Scripture, it was most appropriate for the Sect Master to mediate such a matter.
In the small courtyard, Xiao Diao thoughtfully glanced at the direction where the two had left, and said with a smile to Lin Fan, "You noticed them too just now?"
Lin Fan was slightly startled, then immediately reacted, "Who? The two Hall Masters didn't leave?"
Xiao Diao rolled his eyes, thinking Lin Fan was pretending, and directly changed the subject, "After you two start the Dan River Empowerment, Xiao Yan and I will prepare to leave."
Lin Dong's expression changed slightly and he said, "What's wrong?" Xiao Yan scratched his head and said, "Third Brother said there's a place in the Eastern Xuan Region that will greatly help me improve my strength."
"So that's how it is," Lin Fan nodded knowingly and said, "You two also be careful outside, especially Xiao Diao, absolutely do not expose yourself."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen," Xiao Diao smiled and said.
Lin Dong said seriously, "In short, be careful. If anything happens, remember to send a Primordial Spirit message. Our brothers will face it together."
"Mm," Xiao Diao nodded, not saying much more... The next day.
When the morning glow shone upon Dao Sect, within the dozens of giant mountains of the Desolate Hall, a fervor that was not usually present quietly surged.
And the source of this fervor was precisely because of the Dan River Empowerment.
Dan River Empowerment, generally speaking, only Disciples who performed exceptionally well within the Desolate Hall were qualified to receive it.
And for this year's Dan River Empowerment, many Disciples had obviously been working hard in secret.
But no one expected that this year's Empowerment would actually be snatched away by an outsider.
This kind of thing undoubtedly made many Disciples feel displeased.
On the north side of the Desolate Hall, near the Dan River, there was an exceptionally large giant mountain. On top of the mountain, there was a vast platform.
At this moment, the platform was already teeming with people, looking exceptionally lively.
Near the front of the platform, a group of people was gathered, and at their center, a gray-clothed man was staring at the Dan River in front with a somewhat gloomy expression.
"Senior Brother Tong Chuan, don't be angry. No one expected this..." Beside the gray-clothed man, several Desolate Hall Disciples were also constantly trying to persuade him.
Tong Chuan was originally one of the Personal Disciples in the Desolate Hall who had the best chance of obtaining the Dan River Empowerment this year, and he himself was determined to get it.
Now, the spot for Dan River Empowerment was directly intercepted by someone else, so it was no wonder he was furious.
Moreover, the person who intercepted the spot was not Lin Fan, the champion of the Hundred Dynasty War, but Lin Fan's younger brother, Lin Dong!
Besides Tong Chuan, there were many other Personal Disciples, but they were not as angry as Tong Chuan. They simply stood with their arms crossed, waiting with interest for what would happen next.
Whoosh!
Just as many Disciples were waiting on the Dan River platform, sudden gusts of wind broke through the air from a distance.
Then, more than ten figures also swept over from afar and landed on the platform.
The leader was Lin Fan and Lin Dong, among others.
As Lin Fan and the others appeared, the originally noisy platform immediately quieted down considerably.
"Which of you is Lin Dong?"
Not long after Lin Fan and the others appeared, Tong Chuan, in his gray robes, was the first to lose his patience. He took a step forward and said in a deep voice.
"He's looking for you," Lin Fan smiled and said to Lin Dong beside him.
"Greetings, Senior Brother," Lin Dong stepped forward, cupped his hands, and smiled.
Tong Chuan said, "There's only one spot for Dan River Empowerment each year. If you try to take this spot through connections, I'm afraid it won't convince the masses."
"Then how can I convince the masses?" Lin Dong said indifferently.
Tong Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly said, "Strength and seniority, which one do you claim to have?"
"Understood," Lin Dong nodded slightly, then lightly cupped his fists towards Tong Chuan, "Senior Brother, please enlighten me!"
