As soon as the barrier appeared, everyone's expression changed.
They lifted their hands and tried to invoke their laws, but they found that no matter what they did, they weren't able to release their life energy or control the life energy around them. It was almost as if their powers had been sealed by something unseen…
With the addition of this sudden suppression, the confidence of the city guards and experts of the City Lord Manor all fell as low as it could fall.
They had looks of despair on their faces as they looked at He Wuji.
They had been brought here today to siege a single store which they thought would be easy, but now it seemed like they were the ones that had been caught in a trap.
But for some reason, He Wuji had a calm look on his face.
It was almost as if he was still able to see a way out of this situation…
However, Lin Fan wouldn't give him that chance since he wanted to know where He Wuji gained the courage to attack his store like this. If he were to escape now, it would be unlikely that Lin Fan would be able to find him again and capture him to ask him questions.
After all, no matter what, He Wuji still had the status of Harmony City's City Lord.
His position was one that concerned the reputation of all twelve great factions since Harmony City was one that they had created together.
Lin Fan could capture him now and then negotiate with the twelve great factions, which would buy him enough time to get all the answers that he wanted from him. However, if He Wuji was allowed to escape, then Lin Fan wouldn't be able to attack him without offending the twelve great factions.
This was the difference between being attacked and attacking someone.
Right now it was only self defense for him, so it was justified if he captured him. If he were to attack him later, he would be considered the aggressor and there would be consequences.
So Lin Fan wasn't willing to let him escape.
Since he had already suppressed the city guards and all the experts from the City Lord Manor with his pseudo domain, Lin Fan had no fear as he stepped out of the store.
But even after he stepped out, no one from the city guards dared to attack him.
They weren't even able to use their laws, what would they attack him with? Just their weapons?
What difference would it be from attacking him with sticks.
Not to mention that they could see the life energy swirling around him.
If he was able to use life energy and they weren't able to, it was no different from an adult punishing a group of children.
So all of them couldn't help taking a step back as they saw Lin Fan charging at them.
In their minds, they were thinking, "Don't come over here, don't come over here, don't come over here!"
But Lin Fan didn't care about those small fries, his target was naturally the leader of this group, He Wuji.
However, even when He Wuji saw him charging at him, he didn't panic at all.
There was no doubt that he couldn't use his life energy or his laws or he would have released them already, so why was he still so confident and calm? Could it be that he still had something else up his sleeve?
Lin Fan knitted his brows as he thought this, but he still charged right at He Wuji with a white sword in hand.
He Wuji just silently stood there as he waited for Lin Fan to approach.
It was only when Lin Fan was only a few meters away from him that he suddenly pulled out another small dagger. This one was much smaller than the last one, but the aura that it gave off was also different.
This was an aura that was actually a bit familiar to Lin Fan. It was as if he had seen this somewhere before…
But where was it?
The answer to that question was quickly given to him.
He Wuji raised that dagger and stabbed it right into the ground. As soon as it was stabbed into the ground, there was a dome of light that appeared around him that quickly spread with the dagger as a center.
It created a glowing space within the pseudo domain that spread around fifty meters around the dagger.
It was inside of this space that all of the condensed laws of the pseudo domain were pushed out.
Once these condense chaotic laws were all pushed out, the space inside of that glowing area returned to normal. That included the ability to use life energy again.
Lin Fan was just a few meters away from He Wuji, so he also felt the glowing energy come over him. He could see the life energy gathering around He Wuji and immediately knew that this wouldn't be as easy as he had thought it would be.
Not to mention, he had made a mistake.
He had thought that He Wuji was so calm because he had an ability to escape even with the pseudo domain in place. He never would have guessed that He Wuji would have an ability that would completely block out his pseudo domain.
But that wasn't the biggest surprise.
The biggest surprise was that Lin Fan recognized this ability because it was something that had been used on him before.
It had been back at the True Spirit Sect, when he had tried to use the same pseudo domain on Bing Jun.
Back then, Bing Jun had also ignored the pseudo domain just like what was happening now. However, Lin Fan hadn't seen this glowing area appear just like he was seeing right now.
But he knew that this was still related to Bing Jun because he could feel the same aura that he had felt from Bing Jun when he cancelled out the pseudo domain. Not to mention that giving items to his followers was something that Bing Jun did often, so this was filled with his stench.
It seemed that Bing Jun didn't give up, he was still determined to take Lin Xue back with him.
However it seemed like he had calmed down and was using his brain more now.
He had found out about the contradiction between He Wuji and Lin Fan, so he was using this to make a move instead of making a move himself.
The only thing that Lin Fan was curious about was how did Bing Jun get to Harmony City without anyone noticing?
After what had happened at the True Spirit Sect, everyone should have already known about Bing Jun and have put him on their watch list. If he ever took a single step out of the True Spirit Sect, he would have been immediately followed by the spies from the twelve great factions.
There was no way that he would have been able to sneak all the way to Harmony City without anyone noticing…
So how had he done it?
But this wasn't the time to think about that since He Wuji was already charging at him.
With a single thing, Lin Fan was suddenly covered in several different coloured glows as he charged forward to meet He Wuji.
He Wuji was surprised when he saw this since he thought that Lin Fan was crazy. After all, Lin Fan was only a Child Soul Realm Expert and he dared to fight him, a Peak Nascent Soul Realm Expert head on?
If this wasn't seeking death, he didn't know what was.
But before they could clash, He Wuji suddenly knitted his brows as he realized something.
The aura that Lin Fan was giving off, it wasn't the aura of a Child Soul Realm Expert…No, this aura was the aura of a Nascent Soul Realm Expert!
When did he break through?!
Also, how long had it been since he had sent experts to attack Lin Fan?
He didn't believe that Lin Fan could break through this quickly!
Even the greatest geniuses would take at least several years before they broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm!
But this fact was placed in front of him and there was no denying it.
Lin Fan had indeed broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm after what had happened at the True Spirit Sect. Before that, he had already reached the peak of the Child Soul Realm, so he was actually only just a tiny bit away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
The intense fight with a True Soul Realm Expert and the Nascent Soul Realm Experts had provoked his hidden potential and he had broken through after coming back. Over the past few days, he had been stabilizing his cultivation and now he was ready to fight.
As long as it was a fight with someone in the same major cultivation realm, Lin Fan didn't have anything to fear.
He had long been fighting while skipping realms to fight people, so something like this was normal for him. Let alone the fact that he now had many more laws at his disposal with his new cultivation technique…
When the two of them clashed, He Wuji found that he wasn't able to push Lin Fan back at all. Instead, it was him being pushed back by Lin Fan's sword strike.
When he looked at Lin Fan now, there was a very different look in his eyes.
It was as if he was looking at a monster.
