Peerless Divine Doctor in the City of Flowers
Chapter 623: Am I Qualified to Sit?

Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Am I Qualified to Sit?

"Bang!"

A black dragon shot into the sky.

The surrounding woods were instantly whipped into countless fierce winds.

That scene, akin to one that could destroy heaven and earth, was far more terrifying than the thunderclaps from before.

Lin Fan also took advantage of the momentum to rise, heading straight for the distant Yuxu Temple.

"Is all that severity really necessary?"

Zhao Jiaqi, lying on the ground, lifted her head and shouted loudly.

If it weren’t for her tight grip, she too would have been blown away by the shockwaves.

"No wonder my dad said that this so-called assessment is nothing more than to establish Lin Fan’s authority, that even he might not be qualified to step into Yuxu Temple. It turns out to be true."

Xu Zhi Rou brushed her hair, disheveled by the wind.

Indeed, this battle to establish authority was not as simple as it seemed.

"Establish authority... What does grandfather want Lin Fan to do?"

Zhao Jiaqi watched as Lin Fan gradually disappeared.

She didn’t understand why they would establish his authority out of the blue.

But clearly, this matter was closely related to the impending Ancestor’s Plan.

At this moment, both women had their own thoughts, but the three emperors inside Yuxu Temple all had furrowed brows.

Watching as the black light neared, the elder robed in purple pinched another white piece and placed it on the chessboard.

"Bang!"

As the chess piece was set down, ripples unexpectedly emanated through the void.

For a moment, the whole heaven and earth seemed to tremble.

Gravity suddenly intensified.

"Old friend, are you concerned about that Demon Qi entering the heart?"

The Heavenly Master knew why the other party must do so.

Lin Fan’s body full of Demon Qi was indeed a cause for fear.

"Heavenly Master, why does this child possess such a body full of Demon Qi?"

Divine Emperor, known as Wang Pingshan, was the foremost among the three emperors.

At this moment, he looked at the Heavenly Master with knitted brows.

Everyone knew that Demon Qi was extremely fierce and ominous; once one turned into a demon, the consequences were unimaginable.

What’s more, the intensity of Lin Fan’s Demon Qi had already exceeded Ninth Grade, challenging the peak.

"The path of demons has no form, where does the distinction of good and evil arise? Just like these chess pieces, should the white piece represent the sun and thus righteous people, and the black piece the moon and therefore demons? If so, holding this black piece, am I, the number one Taoist, also a heretic?"

The Heavenly Master smiled, picking up a black piece and placing it in another spot on the board.

Upon hearing this, Wang Pingshan wore a grave expression.

"Although right and wrong can’t be determined by black and white pieces, everybody knows that once Demon Qi invades the heart, the person will surely become extremely brutal. Throughout history, those burdened with Demon Qi have been great villains who brought harm to the martial world. I’m afraid others will not accept this."

"Demon Qi, Taoist Qi, True Qi, aren’t all transformations of Gang Qi? Qi itself is the sword that kills; where do the ruthless and noble distinctions come from? It’s just that in the eyes of others, black is dark and unrighteous, forgetting that what lies on the surface can’t represent the true desires of the heart. As for the historical accounts you mentioned, how many of them are true? Just like the Seven Killings Alliance these years, have they really only eliminated the scum of the martial world?"

The Heavenly Master’s expression turned stern; in his life, he had the least respect for so-called righteous gentlemen.

Especially those of the so-called righteous and reputable sects, how filthy they are behind the scenes, everyone is well aware.

Seeing Wang Pingshan silent, the elderly man in white robes finally spoke up.

"I also think the Heavenly Master is correct. Moreover, my granddaughter has always been by his side; after investigation, though a bit unruly, he hasn’t had any major moral problems. Plus, he’s the alpha wolf of Wolf Fang. With his illustrious military accomplishments over the years, I also support him taking the lead in this secret operation of switching beams for pillars."

The man in white robes, Zhao Xingzhi, Zhao Jiaqi’s grandfather, and ranked as a Dragon Emperor, naturally had significant clout.

His temperament was also different from the reserved and cautious Divine Emperor, possessing a certain bold majesty.

"If that’s the case, then let’s go along with the Heavenly Master’s wishes."

Wang Pingshan eventually nodded his head.

The secret matters being planned by the four of them were critical to the survival of billions.

And what exactly would unfold was something only the four of them knew for certain.

As for the other participants, even Lin Fan, the core candidate, wouldn’t know what had happened.

"Huh!"

A blast of Gang Qi descended from the sky.

Demon Qi roared down like a meteorite and hit the ground.

Accompanied by a loud boom, the solid ground was forcibly smashed into a large pit.

And Lin Fan, who stood amidst the Demon Qi, had blood-red eyes as he looked at the four people still playing weiqi.

"Kid, can’t you restrain yourself a bit? This dojo is my turf. Smashing such a big hole is going to take a lot of effort to fix, and this place is an ancient temple, very precious,"

The elderly Heavenly Master looked at the shattered ground with a pained expression.

This one stomp had ruined bricks and stones that were part of a legacy thousands of years old.

"Uncle Master, it’s not that I wasn’t careful, it’s just that someone didn’t want to let me land easily, huh? I was almost there, and yet you had to hit me with that move. Do you think you’re better just because you see a chance?"

Lin Fan still hadn’t reeled in his Demon Qi, his blood-shot eyes turning to Wang Pingshan, who was sitting opposite the Heavenly Master.

He had already been nearing Yuxu Temple, and so he had reduced some of his force.

Yet out of nowhere, an invisible pressure bore down on him, doubling the force against him.

If it hadn’t been for his quick reaction, that fall would have been no light matter.

"Not everyone is qualified to join this meal!"

Wang Pingshan watched Lin Fan with a slight smile.

As the head of the Three Emperors, it had been many years since anyone dared to talk to him like that.

"Over the years, I’ve had my fill from all over the world, and I’ve yet to find a meal I can’t wolf down. So, do you think I qualify to sit down and eat?"

Lin Fan glanced at the food placed behind the four men.

Although it was not lavish, being able to sit there proved one’s strength.

After all, the Three Emperors were the peak fighting force of the Dragon Fang.

"Kid, you’ve got guts, I like you,"

Zhao Xingzhi nodded with satisfaction.

His judgment was indeed not mistaken.

The arrogance in the very bones of the Wolf Fang’s leader was evident.

"Qualifications are earned with fists. Boy Three, spar with him."

Wang Pingshan didn’t move. After all, he was the head of the Three Emperors,

and the task naturally didn’t fall to Zhao Xingzhi.

It fell to Li Guandi, clad in a black robe.

It was also an opportunity to poke at his sharpness.

"Alright, they always say the leader of the Wolf Fang is reckless and feared by a million mercenaries. Today I want to see just how tough the fangs of Wolf Fang really are!"

Li Guandi, in his eighties, was over two meters tall.

His stature was imposing, and his presence alone exuded an air of majesty.

To become a Divine Emperor naturally required the courage that thousands fear to face.

"Toughness? That word must have been forgotten a long time ago by someone of your advanced age, right?"

Lin Fan’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

This battle was not merely about his honor but also about the reputation of his Wolf Fang.

For years, the longstanding Dragon Fang had somewhat looked down upon the Wolf Fang operatives.

Furthermore, the fact that Lin Fan had become the leader at a young age was another point of criticism.

So this battle was to let everyone know

that the rise of the young Wolf Fang was not because they hadn’t encountered strong foes, but because they were inherently strong.

"Smooth talker..."

But just as the words fell, Li Guandi had already vanished into thin air.

The next second, the two-hundred-pound Divine Emperor eerily appeared behind Lin Fan.
