From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

[Vengeance points + 600.]

[Current Vengeance Points: 5000]

Lin Fan stopped his smashing and took a deep breath when he saw the system's information panel.

Things were getting tougher as they got nearer to the Tai Mountains.

"Here." Ho Ming came up to him with the dagger in his hand.

He knew Lin Fan was interested in different artifacts that could help in battle.

"I think it's better if you keep it," Lin Fan said, pushing Ho Ming's hand back.

It would be better if Ho Ming kept it.

He could help Lin Fan with the dagger in times of need, like what had happened earlier.

"They might have better stuff on them," Lin Fan shrugged, bent down, and started to rummage through the body of the snake woman.

When he did that, snakes appeared around the snake woman's body, trying to slither away.

Lin Fan quickly grabbed them and kept them in his bracelet's storage space.

He did the same to the rabbit man and dragon man's bodies but couldn't find much except for three taels of silver.

"I must be getting rusty with this recycling business," Lin Fan thought silently as he kept the disappointing loot.

He then reported back what happened, and Hun Yen Kun came forward to join up with him.

The other teams forming up the vanguard also linked up with Lin Fan's team.

Hun Yen Kun handed Lin Fan's team three bottles of Blood and Qi Restoration pills, to each of the members.

Additionally, they were rewarded with five hundred contribution points for their performance so far.

Lee Xiao and Tai Lan were shocked when they saw Hun Yen Kun.

They couldn't believe that the core disciple of the sect master would come to them and bestow so many rewards on them personally.

Before this, they were nobody and had only wanted to try to stay alive for this mission attacking Tai Mountains.

They thanked Hun Yen Kun profusely and glanced over at Lin Fan.

They knew it was only possible if not for Lin Fan.

This increased Lee Xiao's motivation to seize the opportunity to perform well and gain more rewards.

The other vanguard teams cleared the area and reorganized the horse carriages to surround and protect them from attacks.

Lin Fan's team was allowed to take a rest as the other teams worked.

They had fought a hard battle, and it was better to allow Lin Fan's team to recuperate first.

"Look, they got three bottles of Blood and Qi Restoration Pills as reward."

"Not only pills, but they also got five hundred contribution points as reward too."

"Damn it. I should have swapped places with Lee Xiao when I had the chance."

"I remember Lee Xiao complaining about that scholar-looking guy."

The disciples from the other teams could only look on with envy as they saw Lee Xiao and Tai Lan swallowing the Blood and Qi Restoration pills.

How the tides had changed.

Most thought about doing better on the mission for their rewards.

While others had their own ideas.

"Let my team be the scout next. Martial brother Lin Fan's team should take a rest since they've done so much."

"No, let my team go instead. We have four Sword Cultivators in our team; they only have two."

Some of the teams pestered Hun Yen Kun to be the scouting team for the next stage of the operation.

Frustrated, Hun Yen Kun shook his head and said, "Fine, both of your teams will lead next."

"Thank you, senior martial brother. We shall not disappoint you." The team leaders from the two teams thanked Hun Yen Kun and left satisfied.

They would show the rest how Lin Fan's team was just lucky.

The Dark Lotus Sect wasn't as good as they were made out to be, they thought to themselves silently.

Lin Fan was glad when he got the news.

He definitely preferred to be behind and strike with the decisive blow when the opportunity arose.

After that, they set up tents and rested for the night.

"Why the face? Tomorrow we will kill all the Dark Lotus disciples and get huge rewards for it."

One of the team leaders slapped the back of his team members and said.

The team member lowered his head and said, "But I heard the Dark Lotus disciples are powerful and ruthless. It might not be so easy..."

"Nonsense, look at Lee Xiao's team with that pale-looking scholar," the team leader smirked and said, trying to convince his team members.

All the team members glanced over at Lin Fan at the same time.

Lin Fan nodded at them as he cooked his hotpot.

He had supplies in his storage space for times like this.

To celebrate, and the dry rations were getting on his nerves.

Who could reject a warm cooked meal compared to the cold dry rations?

Ho Ming, Lee Xiao, and Tai Lan were seated around the fire and feasting on the hotpot.

When the team members from the other team saw Lin Fan's team enjoying their meal without any worries, they believed what their team leaders had said.

...

Tai Mountains.

Li Rong's fingers drummed faster and faster as she heard the briefing from the disciple kneeling in front of her.

Her fingers stopped when she heard that Fourth Rabbit, Fifth Dragon, and Sixth Snake had all perished.

It couldn't be right.

Who was it that was so powerful to be able to finish them off?

Especially when Fourth Rabbit had the Spirit Locking Dagger with him.

She must get to the bottom of it.

She turned to the elder standing behind her and said, "Go and see who is causing havoc to our plans tomorrow. Kill them yourself if necessary."

The elder bowed and said, "My Lady Saint, rest assured I will get it done."

He turned and got to work immediately.

Shadows of different forms that didn't look like the elder's followed him as he left the room.

Li Rong then turned and looked at the remaining Astrology Guards in the room.

She was now disappointed with their performance so far.

And they had stopped their arguments among themselves.

It was the first time they had sustained such heavy casualties with half of them wiped out.

"I have an idea!" Seventh Horse stood up and said.
