It was a fairly normal morning in Lin Fan's store.
The only problem was that there wasn't the rush like there was every day. In fact, there wasn't a single customer that was lined up outside of their store.
When they opened their doors, they found that the entire street outside was abandoned.
What was going on here?
Could it be that something had happened in Harmony City today?
They checked the city forums to see if there were any posts about them, but they found that there wasn't a single thing. It seemed like no one knew if there was anything special going on in Harmony City today.
However, after thinking about it, Lin Fan just decided that it must be because the customers had been called back to their families.
What must come would come eventually and it was already good enough that they had come this long.
Not to mention that Lin Fan was already earning plenty from his Child Soul Realm and Nascent Soul Realm beast trades with the twelve great factions, so he didn't mind if the income dipped a bit from the training quotas.
All of this just showed how dangerous this Galactic Humanity Alliance was right now.
As this thought passed through his mind, he couldn't help giving a sigh.
But on the outside, the blockade started attracting more and more attention unbeknownst to Lin Fan and the people in the shop.
It reached a peak when the City Lord himself came to this blockade.
"Is that the real City Lord?"
"It can't be, right? Why would a Nascent Soul Realm Expert personally move with all these guards?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No, I know that face anywhere…It really is the City Lord! Not only that, those are the elders of the City Lord Manor! Those are all Child Soul Realm Experts!"
"But that can't be right…Why would so many experts from the City Lord Manor be moved. Isn't this just a business street? What would be here that would require all these experts?"
The people around started gossiping and coming up with different theories after seeing He Wuji appear here, but He Wuji just had the guards forming the encirclement chase them off before focusing on the army inside.
He had gathered almost all the guards of Harmony City here today, he didn't believe that Lin Fan would be able to escape.
In fact, he had gathered so many guards that Harmony City's walls were already running with a skeleton crew. If someone were to invade Harmony City now, it would immediately turn into a big incident.
However, no one was foolish enough to invade this city that had been established by all twelve great factions.
So He Wuji wasn't worried about gathering all his troops here.
Of course, that didn't mean that everyone was as enthusiastic about this as he was. After all, he was moving the troops of Harmony City for personal revenge, this was something that many of the troops didn't agree with.
It was just too bad that they couldn't stop him and could only follow the orders that they had been given.
After He Wuji and the rest of the experts from the City Lord Manor arrived, they quickly took their places among the troops, leading their own groups as they headed towards Lin Fan's shop.
All of them came right up to the shop and completely surrounded it before He Wuji said, "Lin Fan, get out here now!"
Lin Fan had been relaxing inside the shop when he heard this noise.
The first thing he did was naturally look out the window to see what the commotion was, but after seeing that it was He Wuji, he couldn't help revealing a faint smile.
Perhaps if this was before, he would be worried about He Wuji, but now…A single Nascent Soul Realm Expert like him wouldn't be able to do anything to Lin Fan. Even if he was in the Peak Nascent Soul Realm.
With Lin Fan's Nascent Soul Realm pets and the array they created, he was even able to fight against those in the True Soul Realm. Those in the Nascent Soul Realm weren't able to threaten him at all anymore.
But when Lin Fan was about to go out to deal with He Wuji and all the people he brought, he suddenly thought of something.
The fight between him and Ling Tian was quite public and it should have already spread across the entire realm. Those with any kind of information network would be able to find out the fact that he was someone who could fight against a True Soul Realm Expert.
It was impossible that He Wuji as the City Lord of Harmony City wouldn't know this.
So where did he find the courage to surround his shop?
That didn't make any sense at all…That was unless there was something that gave him that courage…
As this thought passed through his mind, he couldn't help turning to Brainy who immediately utilized the surveillance system. However, a few seconds later, Brainy said, "There's no trace of a True Soul Realm Expert outside."
Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.
If it wasn't a True Soul Realm Expert helping him, what would give He Wuji the courage to attack his store.
There was no need to ask about his motivation since he had plenty of motivation after what Lin Fan had done to his son.
After thinking for a bit, the only thing that Lin Fan could think of was vague possibilities and he couldn't think of a single clear answer. Since that was the case, Lin Fan decided to use another method.
Lin Fan walked up to the entrance and opened the door to the shop, but he didn't walk outside. Instead, he stood right behind the threshold to the door, so that he was just inside of the shop, but the people outside could see him.
When he appeared, He Wuji roared out through gritted teeth, "Lin Fan, you're here! You will pay today for what you have done to my son!"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at him before saying, "How is your son by the way? Is he still crippled?"
A vein popped out on He Wuji's forehead when he heard this and he looked like he was about to start frothing at the mouth from his rage. However, he forced himself to stay calm as he said, "You will pay with your life for what you've done, mark my words. I will mince you into ten thousand pieces and then feed you to the dogs today!"
Lin Fan just casually leaned in the doorway and said with a look that clearly thought differently, "Is that so? You and what army?"
With this line, almost everyone in the city guards was angered. It was clear that Lin Fan was looking down on them.
They were the city guards of Harmony City, elites that were chosen from countless experts and they were being looked down on by the owner of a simple pet store?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs experts, they had their pride, but they also knew what had happened at this store before.
He Wuji didn't completely lose himself to his rage, so he could tell that something was off. So after thinking about it, he said, "Ouyang, you attack first. I want to see what he's hiding."
The one with the surname Ouyang was the right hand man of He Wuji and one of the two Nascent Soul Realm Experts under him.
After the past incident, He Wuji had taken out his treasures for his most trusted subordinates so that they could reach the Nascent Soul Realm. He wanted as much power as he could to kill Lin Fan, so he had spared no expense to make his subordinates stronger.
This Ouyang was one of the two in the Peak Child Soul Realm that had broken through in the past two months.
Ouyang raised his sword and gave a nod to He Wuji before saying, "Got it, I'll take care of this, boss."
Since reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, he hadn't tested his power yet. This would be a good chance for him to test how strong he had become.
Ouyang didn't hesitate at all as he raised the winds around him, which immediately gathered in his sword in the form of a small tornado around the blade.
Like a gust of wind, Ouyang completely disappeared from where he had been standing and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the store. With a single swing, he created countless wind blades that slashed out at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn't seem worried at all as he just stood there, watching the wind blades approaching.
Ouyang felt that something was off, but since he had already released his attack, it wasn't as if he could stop it.
The wind blades came closer and closer to Lin Fan before stopping just a few centimeters in front of him. It was as if there was some kind of invisible barrier that was placed in front of him that had blocked this attack.
The wind blades just froze there in the air for a few seconds before suddenly flying back at Ouyang.
Ouyang tried to dodge out of the way, but he found that the wind blades were much faster than when he had released them. They were so fast that he wasn't able to get out of the way in time.
The only thing that he could do was use his own wind blades to block them.
But once again, to his surprise, he found that his wind blades were no match for these rebounded wind blades. They were scattered as soon as the two sides met and the rebounded wind blades kept flying out at him without a single hindrance.
Ouyang could only watch as the wind blades cut right through his body, splashing blood everywhere. After he was cut by his own wind blades, he was like a kite that had its strings cut as he fell to the ground.
