The mists converged into the figure of a youth wearing white robes. It was Fang Yuan.
”Oh, I see that His Lordship is a Dream Master. It's our fault for not realising it earlier!”
Qin Qing pulled Qin Yun along and hurriedly bowed to Fang Yuan respectfully.
Her heart, however, was pounding hard in alarm.
His Lordship had previously proved himself to be a Wu Zong and well versed in spiritual spells. The Qin siblings understood that he was a master of both martial arts and magic, and that was that. They had no idea that he was a Dream Master too!
In the Da Quan world, the status of a Dream Master was much higher than that of a spiritual knight.
To put it brusquely, even the lowest leveled Dream Master could be on an equal footing as Qin Yun, Lord of the Qin clan and Vast Sea Viscount!
”You may rise! Qin Yun, you have done well to assume the leadership of the Qin clan...you've even become a Wu Zong?
Fang Yuan exuded indifference as he spoke.
The changes within Qin Yun's body was obvious to Fang Yuan.
Besides, this was a low levelled Wu Zong. He had killed too many of them to care.
”His Lordship has astounding eyesight!”
Although he had entered the realm of elemental force himself, in front of Fang Yuan, Qin Yuan spoke as though he was a cowering youth. Even his voice was quivering.
Qin Yun finally understood why the Elders were unable to detect Fang Yuan's Restriction.
The ways of a Dream Master were indeed unpredictable.
Of course, Fang Yuan had the intention to conceal too.
Otherwise, if the truth was out, the Elders would not have agreed to let a Restricted individual assume leadership of the clan.
Qin Yun's eyes darted about quickly, and his thoughts ran wild.
Fang Yuan's display of power must have been meant to intimidate the Qin siblings and to remind them that having received his help, they were bound to him.
Thus, Qin Yun exclaimed, ”His Lordship has aided us in our revenge, and we will forever be grateful to you. From now on, the Qin siblings are at your service!”
”Hey, you are too serious!”
Fang Yuan waved his hand, and the Qin siblings got to their feet quickly.
”Now...all I need you two to do is to find out two things for me. First, the rise and fall of a certain clan, and everything else about it. Second, I want the map of the Da Qian empire, palace layouts, clan territories, the various factions and how they are organised. Give me everything you can find out!”
”You have been careless today, and people are watching. From now on, we shall communicate in the dream world…”
”What?”
The Qin siblings were stunned, and as they looked at each other, they thought of the Elders' Hall.
”Yes my Lord!”
”Very well, you two may go!”
As Fang Yuan nodded, the dream world dissipated.

In the horse carriage, Qin Yun awoke with a start and looked at Qin Qing. As they made eye contact, they understood that everything that had happened was real.
”Let's go back!”
Qin Qing pressed Qin Yun's palm knowingly.
”I understand!”
Qin Yun nodded vigorously. Fan Yuan was the most powerful person in the equation and had to be obeyed. Also, Qin Qing seemed to have the intention of challenging the Elders' Hall with Fang Yuan's backing.
Although the Qin siblings knew that they were playing with fire, they had no choice because they were Restricted.
”But anyway...these people dared to tail me, they must be wiped out!”
Qin Yun pulled the curtains aside and noticed a few shadows darting out of his view. A cold determination settled over him.
At this point, falling out with the Elders' Hall was unwise. But he had to send them a message.
As the newly appointed leader of the Qin clan, how could he not demonstrate his power?

A short distance away, Fang Yuan wore a farmer's hat and blended in with the tourists, looking as though he was enjoying the sights of Sha Zhou Leng. His lips curled up into a slight smile.
'The ways of a Dream Master are mysterious and profound. Only a casual usage of the relevant skills yielded such great effects!'
So what if someone was tailing us?
Even if he had been giving instructions to the Qin siblings right in front of them, they would be powerless to do anything.
Only another Dream Master could challenge a Dream Master!
”Now I believe that the Dream Master is definitely not a native role of the Da Qian world. It is much more complex than the other techniques and defies logic…”
The more Fang Yuan practised, the more he believed the contents of the journals within the 'Dream Creek Records' to be true.
”Absolute martial force would give absolute power and influence!”
He stared at the desert in front of him with a serious look on his face.
”A Dream Master not only wields great power, he also provides vital resources. He is totally self sufficient and can even supply the outside world...with these abilities, is it possible to not crave for power?”
Fang Yuan knew the answer. There was no way he could resist.
”Although I have no idea how the Da Qian royalty continues to stand to this day, it must be a precarious balance. Perhaps, all it will take is just a little push to break them, and when that happens…”
He sniffed and seemed to catch the smell of blood and fire. This was the smell of the war to come!
