Everyone was silent in front of Jiang Wan Li's question since they didn't have an answer at all.

That was, everyone except Lin Fan.

After hesitating for a second, Lin Fan said, "I might have a solution for this."

Everyone immediately turned to Lin Fan when they heard this.

Jiang Zhi Shu was the first one to speak as he said, "Boss, is that true? Do you really have a way to solve this?"

Then after a pause, he said, "Boss, we're trying to save him, not kill him, you do know that right?"

Lin Fan softly hit him on the head and said, "Of course I know that."

Jiang Wan Li calmly said, "Brother Lin, what kind of solution do you have?"

Lin Fan slowly took out a crystal from his Storage Ring that he put on the table.

This crystal was similar to the crystal that he had once seen in the slave trade base and that was because it was the same crystal. This was a special crystal that was found in upper realms that could be used to contain soul fragments or a spell from an expert.

It had once contained a soul fragment from the Beast King, but after Lin Fan had taken it back, Momonga had done a bit of tinkering with it and had put one of his spells inside of the crystal.

According to what Momonga told him, it was supposedly a spell that could forcefully separate souls that were stuck together. He had never understood why Momonga had prepared this for him, but Momonga had told him that if he ever had an impulse that he couldn't resist, he should use this crystal immediately.

What he didn't know was that Momonga hadn't perfected this spell yet, so what he gave Lin Fan was only a weakened version of the spell. It would only temporarily split two souls that were stuck together.

But it was a good thing that what was stuck to Jiang Qi Tai's soul was nothing more than a single fragment containing the Beast King's ambition, so this would be more than enough to take care of this.

When he took out the crystal, everyone looked over it and their first reaction was: Isn't this the same crystal that contained the soul fragment that took over Jiang Qi Tai?

But Jiang Wan Li released his spiritual sense which was much stronger than the rest and he could tell that what was contained inside this crystal wasn't a soul fragment. Instead it was a power that even he couldn't understand, it was a power that was far beyond the scope of this lower realm.

Once he realized this, he couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a strange look as he fell into deep thought.

But after a few seconds, he said, "Alright, since Brother Lin is confident, then let's give it a try."

Everyone looked at Jiang Wan Li in surprise, but since the leader of the Jiang Family had already spoken, what else could any of them do?

Lin Fan took the crystal and moved over to Jiang Qi Tai who was on the ground. Raising the crystal that he held in his hand, injecting just a bit of his life energy in, the spell inside the crystal activated.

There was a wave of dark energy that suddenly came out of the crystal and completely wrapped around Jiang Qi Tai.

The moment the dark energy wrapped around him, Jiang Qi Tai's eyes suddenly popped open as he shouted, "What is this? What is going on?"

Jiang Qi Tai began struggling, trying to break free of this dark energy, but the more he struggled, the more the dark energy wrapped around him.

When he found that he couldn't break free at all, Jiang Qi Tai turned to the people standing around him and shouted, "Help me, you can't just do this to me! I am a part of the Jiang Family, we are family!"

But seeing that no one around made a single move, Jiang Qi Tai immediately turned to Jiang Zhi Shu and said, "Big brother, please! I know that I made mistakes, but I promise I'll make up for them!"

Jiang Zhi Shu clenched his fists when he saw this and he was about to take a step forward when Lin Fan suddenly said, "Stop, it's not him, you know that. It's the soul fragment trying to get you to stop this."

Jiang Zhi Shu wanted to say something, but then he took a deep breath and gave a nod. Without saying a single word, he turned and walked out of the hall to wait this entire thing out.

Jiang Qi Tai saw that this wouldn't work so he began calling out to the various other people present, but not a single person did a thing.

Eventually, he completely lost consciousness as the dark energy had wrapped him up. The dark energy flowed over his skin for a few minutes before a single ball of light appeared on Jiang Qi Tai's chest.

This ball of light had two different sides, one that was completely blood red and one that was brown in colour. The side that was blood red took a larger part of the ball of light, but with the dark energy surrounding it, it was slowly pulled away from the ball of light, letting the brown part become larger.

Eventually, the blood red part was completely pulled away and there was only a single brown ball of light that was left on Jiang Qi Tai's chest.

The dark energy had completely surrounded the ball of blood red light which was much smaller compared to before. Then the dark energy moved away from Jiang Qi Tai, coming back to Lin Fan and presenting him with it.

Lin Fan didn't raise a hand to take it, rather he asked the blood red ball of light, "Where is the crystal that used to contain you?"

The ball of light spoke, but this time it was a different voice. It was the same voice that he had heard from the dark figure back in the slave trade base.

The blood red ball of light said, "Why would I tell you?"

Lin Fan just gave a shrug, "Whether you tell me or not doesn't really matter to me, but you and I both know that if you don't tell me, this fragment of soul will soon cease to exist. Do you really want that?"

The blood red ball of light would be sweating right now if it could. Lin Fan had easily called his bluff, so he really didn't have a choice.

The blood red ball of light floated down to Jiang Qi Tai's finger and touching the ring on it, it activated the Spatial Ring to bring out a crystal that was just like the one that Lin Fan had just used.

Lin Fan picked up the crystal and raised it to the blood red ball of light as he said, "You know what you do."

The blood red ball of light looked dejected as it moved to the crystal, allowing it to completely suck itself in.

Once that was over, there was a blood red flash of light that came from the crystal before quickly fading. Once it was over, the crystal changed from its normal colour to a blood red colour.

Lin Fan waved his hand and put the crystal away before heading back to the others.

Jiang Wan Li had had his brows knit when he saw what Lin Fan did and he couldn't help asking, "Brother Lin, that crystal…"

Lin Fan just calmly said, "My master will be interested in this."

He didn't give another explanation beyond that, but that was more than enough for everyone here.

Lin Fan had been able to pull all these strange things that clearly didn't belong to this realm. For that to be possible, it was clear that he had some connection to the upper realm and a master would be the perfect example.

None of them were crazy enough to offend an expert from the upper realm over something as small as this.

It didn't take long before Jiang Qi Tai woke up, but he clearly still wasn't over the effect of having the Beast King's soul fragment ripped out of him. He was incredibly weak, not even having the power to say anything.

Jiang Wan Li had Jiang Mu bring Jiang Qi Tai to the side to heal before he went over to Jiang Zhi Shu who had just come back into the hall and said, "Zhi Shu, do you want to get married?"

Jiang Zhi Shu was completely shocked when he heard this, but seeing the serious look on Jiang Wan Li's face, he gave a serious nod.

Jiang Wan Li revealed a smile and patted his shoulder as he said, "Good! Everything's already set up, so we might as well make the most of it!"

It didn't take them long to clear out everything and set it all up again. The bride had been held in an array in the back of the wedding hall, so it didn't take long for her to prepare. As for the guests, even though most of them had been sent away by Jiang Mu, almost all of them were still waiting outside to see the results of this wedding, so it was easy for them to invite them all back in.

Jiang Zhi Shu and Yuan Xiang Qin had their joyous reunion and then they were rushed into their wedding.

Jiang Wan Li personally officiated the wedding, which showed that the Jiang Family fully supported this and it meant that Jiang Zhi Shu's exile was officially over.

It seemed like everything had ended on a happy ending to the nobles and royals of Rock Mountain City, but there was still plenty of other loose ends that needed to be taken care of under the surface.
