North Town Hall had fallen into the hands of Fang Lin.
Wu Zhong became a puppet Hall Master, and even though he sat on the throne of the Hall Master, he had no real power and was at the mercy of Fang Lin, not daring to show the slightest disobedience or defiance.
And with Feng and Yao's allegiance to Fang Lin, the higher-ups of North Town Hall also stood firmly with Fang Lin.
As for others, Fang Lin adopted very strong measures, directly feeding poison pills to some of the Alchemy Tao families' Pill Refiners.
Of course, Fang Lin was also aware that such rule could not last long; if the pressure was too great, it might cause a significant impact.
Therefore, Fang Lin also doled out benefits to those who stood by him, letting everyone in North Town Hall know that following him would bring many advantages.
Giving a carrot after wielding the stick often proved to be the most effective approach.
