Chapter 731: Chapter 731

As everyone's hearts were filled with shock, Lin Fan said to Ruan Hongying, "Mother, everything from now on, I leave it to you."

Ruan Hongying also unceremoniously stepped forward and said coldly, "I know many of you here are loyal to the Great Elder, and many of you are dissatisfied with me. Now, I give you the chance. Whoever is dissatisfied can step forward, and we can settle this with a battle."

After Ruan Hongying finished speaking, her eyes slowly swept over the crowd once more.

But no one came forward.

The strength Lin Fan had just displayed was so formidable that even if they had ten times the courage, they would not dare to step out.

After a while, Ruan Hongying spoke again, "Very well, since none of you have come forward, does this mean that you have all accepted me in your hearts?"

As soon as Ruan Hongying's words fell, someone stood up and said, "Palace Master, you are our Palace Master, and we naturally submit to you wholeheartedly!"

"Yes indeed, Palace Master, anyone who dares to defy you, I'll be the first to tear them apart."

"Absolutely right, I feel the same, I will personally take action to tear them apart!"

"Palace Master, I swear, from now on, my loyalty is only to you."

Those who were previously loyal to the Great Elder were now changing their tune, knowing that the Great Elder's dominance was over. With Lin Fan on Ruan Hongying's side, no one dared to harm her.

Ruan Hongying said, "Since you are all willing to be loyal to me, then immediately tie up the Great Elder and throw him into the dungeon. Without my orders, no one is allowed to see him."

An individual, who was normally very loyal to the Great Elder, quickly rushed up, tied up the Great Elder, and sent him to the dungeon.

Some people, looking at Ruan Zhengquan who was still unconscious, asked Ruan Hongying, "Palace Master, what about Ruan Zhengquan, how shall we deal with him? Should we also lock him directly in the dungeon?"

Ruan Hongying hesitated and, for the first time, a look of reluctance appeared on her face.

Then Ruan Hongying waved her hand and said, "Let it be, he had little to do with the treasonous plot... let him go!"

Someone said, "Palace Master, you must not let him go! If he leaves today, it's like releasing a tiger back to the mountain, and he will definitely become a big problem in the future!"

Ruan Hongying still helplessly shook her head and said, "I said, let him go!"

Everyone was reluctant but had no choice but to follow Ruan Hongying's orders. Although they did not wish to let Ruan Zhengquan leave, since Ruan Hongying had spoken, there was nothing they could do.

Even Lin Fan sighed softly from the side.

Lin Fan silently thought, "Mother is truly too soft-hearted. Just as these people said, letting Ruan Zhengquan go is truly releasing a tiger back to the mountain. Although he has lost a soul, his potential is still great. If he finds fortune after leaving, he will become a trouble!"

"Well, if mother wishes to be the kind one, then let me be the villain."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth.

Then, with a thought, an invisible energy formed by his will directly acted on the area of Ruan Zhengquan's Elemental Mansion.

Ruan Zhengquan's Elemental Mansion would gradually be destroyed.

Lin Fan was not a soft-hearted person; knowing that Ruan Zhengquan could potentially become a problem in the future, he naturally would not let him continue to grow.

Lin Fan's actions were simply a precautionary measure.

Of course, Lin Fan's methods were extremely secretive, and no one would know.

In the end, Ruan Zhengquan was sent away.

Ruan Hongying took over the Guiyun Palace once again.

And this time, the palace she took over was even more secure because everyone had witnessed Lin Fan's power. As long as Lin Fan was there, no one would dare to have designs on Guiyun Palace.

Ruan Hongying looked over at Lin Fan and said, "Next up, you must stay in Guiyun Palace for a good while, you know? The time you were away, your mother missed you very much."

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mother, I will stay with you for a while!"

Frankly speaking, Lin Fan did not know what steps to take next. Although he was an invincible existence within the Ten Thousand Mountains, many people could easily kill him once he left the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Moreover, if Lin Fan were to always stay within the Ten Thousand Mountains, it would be difficult to encounter good fortune and improve.

Leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains would also be extremely dangerous.

So Lin Fan was now calculating, what path should he take next?

Might as well stay in Guiyun Palace for a good while, then figure out a plan.

Seeing Lin Fan agree, Ruan Hongying was filled with joy and said, "Fan, your mother will go cook for you now!"

After saying that, Ruan Hongying left happily.

Lin Fan shook his head with a smile.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt a warm feeling in his heart, thinking to himself, "Having a mother is indeed wonderful!" Dıscover more novels at novel•fire.net

Meanwhile, in the Central Empire!

The Empire's buildings towered immensely, resplendent to the extreme.

The entire Imperial Capital stretched for thousands of miles.

The Imperial Capital, like a long dragon.

And within the study of the Empress, a young man paced back and forth, looking very tense and anxious.

This young man was none other than... Gai Tian, the Alliance Hierarch of Gaitian Alliance.

As Gai Tian paced back and forth, he occasionally wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Clearly, Gai Tian was extremely nervous at this time.

Gai Tian thought to himself, "What on earth is going on? The Empress summoned me here, but why hasn't she arrived after so long? What does she plan to do? Could it be that she is already greatly displeased with me? Or is it because of some other reason?"

Gai Tian's mind was full of anxious thoughts.

He was indeed very worried that the Empress was already angry with him; if that were true, he would be in big trouble.

"Hopefully, the Empress has not completely lost faith in me, otherwise... sigh!"

In the end, that was the only thought Gai Tian could solace himself with.

A figure suddenly appeared.

Despite it not being the first time Gai Tian had seen the Empress, he couldn't help but marvel at her beauty once more.

However, notwithstanding his marveling, Gai Tian did not dare to be negligent. As soon as the figure appeared, Gai Tian immediately knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "I pay my respects to Empress, long live the Empress, long live, long live forever!"
