Cultivation Pet Shop

However, this didn't make any sense at all.

Why would a Child Soul Realm Expert specifically come after them?

Their family head was barely in the Embryo Soul Realm and the rest of them were in the Fragmented Soul Realm.

Even if they had bought something valuable at the auction, it shouldn't have been valuable enough to spur a Child Soul Realm Expert to act.

As these thoughts passed through their minds, they couldn't help thinking of the same thing.

At the same time, all the members of the Xu Family turned to look at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan on the other hand found it funny the moment that he had felt this aura since it was an aura that he was familiar with.

It seemed like the idiom was true, enemies really did meet on a narrow path.

This was an aura that the last time he felt was being used to threaten him, or rather it would have been used to threaten him if someone hadn't interrupted them.

There was no doubt that this aura belonged to Shi Yan.

Lin Fan was surprised to see Shi Yan leading this team because he never thought that Shi Yan would act personally. But since Shi Yan was personally acting, it seemed like they were putting quite the importance on this ambush.

Was it because of the Xu Family?

No, that wouldn't make sense at all…

It was because of him.

It was because he had angered Lei Feng and Shi Yan had been sent to deal with this mess.

They were targeting the Xu Family because of their relation with him or maybe because of another reason, but they were targeting the Xu Family for sure. Since they knew that the Xu Family was related to him, then that means that they were most likely expecting him to save the Xu Family…

So Shi Yan personally took action to deal with him, to pay him back for the exam and to help Lei Feng take care of his "love rival".

As for why they felt that this alone was enough, Lin Fan was still only in the Low Embryo Soul Realm and even if he was a genius, they didn't believe that he would be strong enough to cross a major realm to fight someone in the Child Soul Realm. Not to mention that Shi Yan was a genius himself and he could also cross realms to fight experts with higher cultivation.

Seeing the shocked looks on the faces of the Xu Family members, Shi Yan revealed a smile under his mask.

After a period of being stunned, the Xu Family Head came back from his daze and looked at Shi Yan to say, "Why are you doing this?"

Shi Yan just said in a cold voice, "Blame the side that you've chosen and the one you chose to work for."

Then after a pause, he added, "But if you call the one you work for over now, I can consider sparing you."

Lin Fan found this even funnier the moment he heard this.

It seemed like Shi Yan hadn't been able to see through his disguise at all.

Lin Fan was wrapped up in the cloak and he had restrained his aura to the level of the Low Fragmented Soul Realm with his special physique. He could have completely restrained his aura, but a person without an aura was more suspicious than someone who was only in the Low Fragmented Soul Realm.

The Xu Family Head was surprised to hear this, but his brain reacted quickly as he stopped himself from looking at Lin Fan.

Instead he asked, "What grudge do you have against him?"

Shi Yan's voice turned cold as he said, "That isn't for you to worry about." Then after another pause, he asked, "Are you going to do it or not?"

The Xu Family Head paused as if he was thinking before he said, "Can you guarantee that you'll let us go if I do this?"

Shi Yan just gave a chuckle before saying, "I'm giving you the chance to live…" Then his voice turned cold as he said, "It seems like you don't want to take this chance."

He didn't bother saying anything else as he waved his hand.

The moment that his hand fell, the black figures all moved forward at the same time, charging at the surrounded Xu Family group with their weapons pulled out.

The Xu Family Head had been trying to stall since he figured that Lin Fan was working out some kind of plan. The least he could do was buy some time for him, but it seemed like that wasn't an option for them.

Since that was the case, he had to hope that Lin Fan would be able to do something since he clearly wasn't a match for ten Embryo Soul Realm Experts himself. All of the Xu Family members had the same thought as they couldn't help taking a step back.

The black figures quickly approached the Xu Family group and soon they were right in front of them, swinging down with their weapons.

Seeing the blades approaching them, the Xu Family members couldn't help taking another step back, almost losing their nerve and turning to run. However, right before the blades could fall down on them, there was a barrier that suddenly appeared in front of them.

The black figures had attacked in many different directions, completely surrounding the Xu Family group, so this was a barrier that had to completely surround them. It was a barrier that wrapped the Xu Family group in a bubble, leaving no blind spot.

The attacks of the black figures landed on the bubble and there was a slight pause before they were sent flying back by the force generated from the clash.

All of the black figures were pushed back a meter and when they stabilized themselves, they looked at the bubble in front of them with shocked looks that had a trace of wariness.

They hadn't even sensed the appearance of this bubble, but it had suddenly appeared and it was strong enough to block the full force attacks from all of them. It was clear that this bubble wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Even Shi Yan couldn't help knitting his brows the moment he saw this bubble appear.

After a few seconds of silence, Shi Yan asked, "Who is it? Why are you interfering with our business?"

The only explanation that Shi Yan could come up with was that someone else was interfering. There was no one in the Xu Family group that would be able to create a barrier of this level.

He could feel the aura of this barrier and he wasn't certain if he could even break it, not to mention his subordinates breaking it.

However, the moment he said this, there was only silence that met his question.

Seeing that the other side wasn't willing to show themselves, Shi Yan gave an order, "Gather up around me and prepare to fight this unknown enemy."

The black figures immediately flew back to his side and prepared themselves to fight at any moment.

This was what Lin Fan was waiting for.

The five pets that had appeared among the Xu Family group suddenly charged out and gathered around Shi Yan's group that was now standing together. They spread out evenly around them and then released their array, trapping Shi Yan's group inside.

Before Shi Yan's group could even react, the barrier had formed around them and there was no way out for them.

They recognized it as the bubble that had stopped their attacks, but that didn't stop them from releasing their attacks again. However, when their attacks hit the barrier around them, they were all neutralized before they were hit by a shockwave released by the barrier.

This time, the shockwave was much stronger than the one that they had been hit with before, causing minor internal injuries for them.

As they fell to the ground, when they looked at the barrier around them this time, their eyes were filled with fear.

They could tell that this wasn't a barrier that they could easily break through.

During this time, Shi Yan had been watching the situation. His eyes had been on the five pets that had suddenly appeared and he couldn't help being shocked by the aura that he felt coming from them.

All of these pets were only in the Peak Fragmented Soul Realm!

However, the barrier that they released was at a level that could even resist his attacks.

Just what kind of array was this that allowed these five pets to skip two major realms and match him?

Still, even though he was shocked, Shi Yan didn't allow that shock to affect him long. He knew that they were currently in a bad situation and he quickly started trying to figure out a way to get out of it.

It was at this time that Lin Fan stepped out from the Xu Family group and came forward to stand right in front of the barrier.

Coming out in such a conspicuous manner, naturally they immediately noticed him. However, what they were shocked by was the fact that they could sense danger coming from this cloaked figure.

This person was only in the Peak Fragmented Soul Realm as far as they could tell, so why did they feel a sense of danger from him?

As Lin Fan stood in front of the barrier, he looked at Shi Yan and said with a cold laugh, "You never would have thought that it would turn out like this, right?"

Shi Yan knitted his brows when he heard this and he immediately asked, "Who are you?"
