"Hmm?"

The next moment, Lin Fan suddenly stood still, his brows furrowing.

Gao Feiyan asked, "What happened?"

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "Someone's here!"

Gao Feiyan looked around and asked, "Where's someone? I didn't notice anyone."

But right after Gao Feiyan finished speaking, the void rippled, and a middle-aged scholar emerged step by step, shaking his folding fan. This scholar had an elegantly refined demeanor and a unique charisma that was very appealing.

"Wow, what a charismatic man!" Gao Feiyan couldn't help but exclaim.

Lin Fan remained silent, just eyeing the middle-aged scholar.

Lin Fan knew that this middle-aged scholar's arrival portended ill intentions.

"Indeed, you were able to detect my presence? No wonder, Empress has issued a nationwide manhunt for you. You really do have some skills!" The scholar said, fanning himself.

"Are you also here to kill me?" Lin Fan asked.

The middle-aged scholar shook his head and said, "I am not here to kill you."

Lin Fan asked, "Then you are...?"

The middle-aged scholar said, "I came to capture you, because the reward for capturing you alive is much bigger. Hence, I want to take you alive."

Lin Fan said, "Unfortunately, you won't be able to capture me!"

"Ha ha!"

The middle-aged scholar burst into laughter and said, "There is nothing that I, Yuwen Xuan, want to do and fail to achieve. Hehe..."

What?

Both Lin Fan and Gao Feiyan were shocked after hearing the middle-aged scholar introduce himself.

Yuwen Xuan?

This refined and cultured middle-aged scholar in front of them was the notorious Yuwen Xuan?

Yuwen Xuan was extremely infamous throughout the entire Holy Soul Domain.

Of course, Yuwen Xuan's infamy was not due to his strength, but because... his methods were exceedingly cruel; his favorite activity was to ravage and destroy.

Legend has it that thousands of women have been violated by him, and after he had his way with them, they were all brutally killed. Additionally, dozens of Sects have been wiped out because their women fell victim to him.

It could be said that Yuwen Xuan's hands were soaked in the blood of the innocent.

Many people wanted to kill Yuwen Xuan.

But this fellow's ability to conceal himself was extraordinary, always appearing and disappearing like a ghost, thus no one could find him—naturally, they could not kill him.

Lin Fan never expected to have the good fortune to encounter Yuwen Xuan today.

Yuwen Xuan then turned his attention to Gao Feiyan and continued, "By the way, this girl here looks nice, I quite like her. How about it, young lady? Let us enjoy a night of pleasure together? I assure you, you will be satisfied, hehe..."

As Yuwen Xuan spoke these words, his face revealed a lascivious grin.

Gao Feiyan grew angry and said coldly, "You demon, how dare you speak such words to me? Do you know who I am? I tell you, if you dare touch a single finger on me, I assure you, you will wish you were never born."

"Oh?"

Yuwen Xuan said, "I am quite curious now, what's your background?"

Gao Feiyan said, "I am from the Gao Family in the Imperial Capital, the eldest daughter of the family."

"Ha ha!"

Yuwen Xuan became even happier and said: "So it's the young miss of the Gao Family, my apologies, my apologies. Surely, indulging in the pleasures of the flesh with the young miss of the Gao Family must be particularly exhilarating, right? Haha!"

As Yuwen Xuan spoke, he began to step towards Gao Feiyan.

"Stop!"

At this moment, Lin Fan shouted abruptly.

Yuwen Xuan stopped in his tracks, annoyed, and slapped his head, speaking in frustration: "Damn it, I almost forgot about my main purpose because of this beauty. It seems that my self-control is getting worse and worse. Well then, I'll deal with you first, and then enjoy the young miss of the Gao Family later. After all, neither of you will escape today, hehe!"

Lin Fan said: "Don't you want to capture me alive? I'm right here, come and catch me."

Yuwen Xuan grew somewhat angry at Lin Fan's words, a mere Emperor Realm trash, yet daring to challenge him?

One should know that Yuwen Xuan's Cultivation had already reached the Saint Realm.

"If that's the case, then I'll grant your wish!"

Yuwen Xuan took a step forward, reaching out to grab Lin Fan, and at the same time, a powerful aura burst forth from him, forming a vast Domain around Lin Fan.

Yuwen Xuan was very confident!

He was certain that by sealing Lin Fan within his Domain, Lin Fan would be incapacitated and he could easily capture him.

Indeed, Yuwen Xuan was not disappointed.

His hand successfully grasped Lin Fan's body.

Yuwen Xuan was overjoyed to the extreme, and he thought to himself: "This is fantastic, hehe... Having caught this kid, I can use him to receive a reward from the Empress. From now on, I, Yuwen Xuan, will no longer need to hide and live in secrecy!"

"Hm?"

But in the next instant, Yuwen Xuan's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

For he found that although his hand had clearly grasped Lin Fan's body, it was just an afterimage?

"Not good!"

A shock flashed through Yuwen Xuan's mind as he thought: "Damn it, it's just an afterimage?"

Lin Fan's figure suddenly appeared beside Gao Feiyan and said: "Let's go!"

The power of Monarch Power suddenly enveloped both of them, and then both Lin Fan and Gao Feiyan disappeared.

"Damn it!"

Yuwen Xuan grew even more furious.

Previously, Yuwen Xuan had not taken Lin Fan seriously at all, considering him as an easy target unable to escape.

Who would have thought Lin Fan would actually escape?

"Hmph!"

Afterward, Yuwen Xuan coldly snorted: "You two, don't even think about escaping from my Yuwen Xuan's hands."

On a certain mountain peak, the figures of Lin Fan and Gao Feiyan suddenly appeared there.

Lin Fan quickly set up a Concealing Array around them. With his powerful Monarch Power, his methods of concealment were exceptional, and coupled with his Concealing Array, hiding would be even more terrifying.

It could be said that as long as Lin Fan stayed within the array, no one could discover him.

Gao Feiyan asked Lin Fan somewhat nervously: "We can't continue to leave?"

Gao Feiyan was puzzled and asked: "Why not?"

Lin Fan said: "I originally thought my methods of concealment were strong, and nobody could find me, but it seems now that I overestimated myself. There must be some unknown issues with me that's allowing others to find me. At least, until I resolve my own issues, we can't keep moving, otherwise, experts will soon catch up with us, and that would bring a lot of trouble."

Gao Feiyan said: "But if we don't leave, will we really be safe staying here?"

Lin Fan nodded and said: "Don't worry, as long as we stay put here, we will be absolutely safe. I'm certain that no one will find us."
