Scouting out the sect

As they watched him walk out, the sect master and the elders all deeply knitted their brows, but not a single one of them stopped him.

After all, killing him wasn't what they wanted. What they wanted was for him to take the trial and succeed since this was a matter that involved the future of their sect.

If Lin Fan didn't take it willingly and something were to happen, they wouldn't be able to explain it to the ancestor…

So they had no choice but to follow Lin Fan's words and let him rest.

Once he was gone from the hall, the sect master waved his hand and there was a black figure that appeared by his side.

This black figure kneeled down and waited for the sect master's orders.

The sect master was silent at first before suddenly saying, "Follow him and keep an eye on him. Make sure that he doesn't find a way to leave the sect."

The black figure gave a bow before disappearing again.
