Chapter 133: A New Official Takes Office

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

Hearing the voice, Ancestor Blaze, Ling Danzi, and the others all looked toward the entrance.

A handsome Daoist in blue robes stood at the doorway, in the prime of his youth, elegant and outstanding, head and shoulders above the rest.

"Whose disciple is this?"

"No sense of propriety at all."

"How dare he barge in without announcing himself first!"

Someone spoke coldly, demanding an answer.

"Ling Nanzi, do not be rude."

"This should be Fellow Daoist Lin Qi, the new Inspector personally appointed by Daoist Yuan."

"He looks much younger than he did on the appointment letter."

Another person spoke up loudly, revealing the blue-robed Daoist's identity.

At that, everyone smiled and nodded, saying nothing more, studying the suddenly arrived Lin Qi with amusement.

Their gazes flickered, thoughts unreadable.

Lin Qi was in no hurry to speak either. He likewise sized up the crowd with amusement.

His gaze finally settled on Ling Danzi, and he smiled as he cupped his hands.

"This must be Senior Brother Ling Danzi."

"Before I came, Fellow Daoist Yuan specifically instructed me that for all matters in the Thunderfire Pill Realm, I could consult Senior Brother Ling Danzi."

"Lin Qi has just arrived."

"In the days to come, I will have to trouble Senior Brother Ling Danzi to look after me."

Lin Qi broke the silence, putting on an air of closeness with Ling Danzi.

The expressions of everyone present turned subtly nuanced.

After a pause, Ancestor Blaze suddenly gave a cold snort and turned to leave.

Once Ancestor Blaze left, the others exchanged glances, cupped their hands toward Lin Qi with lukewarm courtesy, and likewise quickly departed.

Lin Qi did not stop them. Looking thoughtful, he gazed at Ling Danzi.

"It seems everyone does not particularly welcome me. Fortunately, I still have Senior Brother Ling Danzi."

Not necessarily fortunate.

Because I do not particularly welcome you either.

Ling Danzi thought to himself.

He had long known that Lin Qi was coming to the Thunderfire Pill Realm.

And that was before Lin Qi was appointed by Daoist Yuan as the Inspector of the Thunderfire Pill Realm.

At that time, he had already received Daoist Yuan's decree.

It said that after a period, a heaven-pride-level Foundation Establishment cultivator would come to the Thunderfire Pill Realm.

He was to observe in secret and could offer some guidance.

But before Ling Danzi could figure out the true meaning behind Daoist Yuan's words —

Good heavens.

The man had transformed overnight into the Inspector of the Thunderfire Pill Realm.

Though his cultivation was still Foundation Establishment, his status was vastly different.

To put it bluntly.

If Lin Qi's identity as the Thunderfire Pill Realm's Inspector had not been personally appointed by Daoist Yuan.

He would have had the urge to mask his face and ambush him on the road.
