Seeing Lin Fan still smiling in this situation, Gao Feiyan immediately felt displeased and coldly said: "What are you laughing at? What is there to laugh about?"

Lin Fan said: "I thought you were in some kind of trouble, but it turns out it's just that your father has placed a Barrier around you? That's really just a trivial matter."

"What?"

Gao Feiyan looked at Lin Fan speechlessly and said: "Lin Fan, to be honest, I've once again witnessed your arrogance and conceit. Do you know who my father is? He is a renowned Array Master throughout the Central Empire. The Arrays he sets up, there are few in the Central Empire who can break them, yet you are so arrogant? If it wasn't for the fact that you are my partner, I would really want to turn against you!"

Lin Fan helplessly said: "Don't you trust me?"

At this point, Lin Fan paused slightly, then continued: "However, whether you trust me or not doesn't matter, the Barrier your father placed around you is indeed just a trivial matter. Let me break it for you now!"

While speaking, Lin Fan gestured with his hand, ready to take action.

This move of Lin Fan's immediately startled Gao Feiyan, who quickly stopped Lin Fan, asking: "What are you doing?"

Lin Fan said in surprise: "Of course I'm breaking the Barrier for you, don't stand in my way!"

Gao Feiyan immediately said: "No, you can't be reckless. If you recklessly interfere with the Barrier my father has set up, he will discover it very quickly. Don't mess around!"

Lin Fan said: "Don't worry, it's fine!"

Seeing that Gao Feiyan was still trying to stop him, Lin Fan made a quick thought, and a burst of energy emerged from his body blocking Gao Feiyan. At the same time, Lin Fan lightly pointed a finger directly at the Barrier surrounding them.

"This is bad!"

After seeing Lin Fan's actions, Gao Feiyan couldn't help feeling incessantly speechless.

She knew that the situation was now gone, and soon her father would discover that someone had tampered with the Barrier around her and quickly come over.

"See, isn't it fine now?"

At this moment, Lin Fan said to Gao Feiyan.

Gao Feiyan couldn't help but look in the direction Lin Fan had just pointed, and she was shocked. It turned out that where Lin Fan had pointed, a door had appeared in the Barrier?

"How did you do this?" Gao Feiyan asked Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't answer Gao Feiyan's question, but instead said: "I'm just telling you, this door can only last for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. After that, the Barrier will recover, and by then, if I continue to intervene, your father will surely notice."

Gao Feiyan was stunned for a moment, but soon understood Lin Fan's intention and said: "Okay, let's set off now, toward the direction of the Heavenly Palace."

...

Inside the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Capital.

"What?"

Hu Mei'er looked at the reporting minister in front of her with a shocked face, saying, "What did you say just now? You mean... Gai Tian..."

In the minister's memory, this was the first time he had seen such a panicked expression on the Empress. The minister secretly thought: "It seems that Gai Tian is quite important to the Empress. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so panicked."

The reporting minister didn't dare to delay and quickly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Gai Tian has been killed by Lin Fan."

"Damn it!"

Hu Mei'er's face became extremely ugly as she said: "Lin Fan, you bastard, I will tear you to pieces!"

At this moment, Hu Mei'er was enraged, thoroughly enraged.

Originally, Hu Mei'er had planned to use the Secret Technique to absorb Gai Tian's Monarch Power, which would have replenished her own depleted Monarch Power.

But unexpectedly...

Before she could act, Gai Tian was killed by Lin Fan?

Again, Lin Fan?

This bastard, once again obstructing her path forward?

Hu Mei'er quickly regained her icy composure and coldly asked, "How is the pursuit and assassination of Lin Fan progressing?"

The minister reporting to her broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Empress, ever since Lin Fan killed Gai Tian on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, he has vanished as if evaporated from the human world. Although we have been diligently searching, we still have no clue of Lin Fan's whereabouts, so... we simply cannot kill him."

"Useless fools!"

Hu Mei'er roared angrily, loudly saying, "During normal times, aren't you all very capable? How is it that now, when ordered to kill just one Lin Fan, you are unable to do it?"

Hu Mei'er was somewhat losing her composure.

Seeing Hu Mei'er's loss of composure, the reporting minister couldn't help but feel perplexed and thought to himself, "What is actually going on? Why would the Empress lose her composure over Lin Fan? Could it be that Lin Fan really has some special significance?"

Of course, although the reporting minister was puzzled, he only dared to wonder internally and naturally dared not voice his questions.

Hu Mei'er then said, "Convey my command, all experts of the Empire mobilize, no matter what, Lin Fan must be killed, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The reporting minister hastily responded.

Within moments, the entire Empire went into a frenzy once again.

Numerous experts were searching for Lin Fan's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, Lin Fan remained as elusive as a sunken rock in the sea; no matter how many people were deployed, they simply could not find him.

Little did they know, Lin Fan was currently leisurely sitting on top of a mountain, contemplating.

It turned out that during his journey earlier, Lin Fan suddenly felt a unique connection between the Martial Path and nature, which momentarily stirred something in his heart, leading him to sit here and begin his contemplation.

As for Gao Feiyan, standing not far from Lin Fan, she thought to herself, "No wonder his strength is so formidable, no wonder his progress is so terrifying? He truly is a demon, to have such insights even under these circumstances?"

While Gao Feiyan was thinking this, a gust of wind blew by, ruffling her disheveled hair; she reached out to tidy her hair and looked at Lin Fan with a somewhat bewildered gaze.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Lin Fan, who had been closing his eyes and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, his brow furrowing slightly.

Seeing Lin Fan's action, Gao Feiyan couldn't help but be startled, her heart filled with curiosity, wondering what was going on with Lin Fan?

As Gao Feiyan was pondering, Lin Fan's gaze swept around and he coldly said, "Since you are here, come out, no need to hide in the shadows."

Is there someone?

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Gao Feiyan immediately knew, there was someone nearby?

Gao Feiyan immediately entered a defensive stance.
