Cultivation Pet Shop

Every bid, there was a certain amount that she would stop at since she wanted to save money for the next bid.

Even at the end, when there was only the last token left, she wouldn\'t go past eighteen million since she didn\'t want to transfer the funds between the organizations under the Hunters Organization since it would be too \'suspicious\'.

Lin Fan understood where she came from since eight million spirits stones definitely wasn\'t a small amount, but he still couldn\'t help giving a sigh over how meek she was when it came to bidding.

Compared to her usual confident self, it seemed like she was a completely different person.

But that was her and the Hunters Organization\'s problem.

The only reason that he had been brought along was as a cover for Murong Yue and to annoy Lei Feng, there was no doubt that he had accomplished this.

While the person outside thought that he could hide himself, Lin Fan had noticed him the moment that he appeared.

The fact that Lei Feng had assigned someone to watch their room meant that he had been properly angered, but the fact that he didn\'t do more meant that he was still in the safe zone.

After the auction was over, Murong Yue offered Lin Fan a ride home, but he decisively declined it since he still had other matters to take care of.

Just like how everyone else had other plans after the auction, Lin Fan also had his own plans.

He knew that the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect would be targeting the Xu Family. After all, the way that the Xu Family Head had won the items that he had bid for, there was no doubt that there was some interference from the back.

But the Xu Family wasn\'t close to the Thunder Sect or the True Spirit Sect, so why would they help the Xu Family for no reason?

One reason was to get closer to the Xu Family through this kindness, but that wouldn\'t make sense since the Xu Family, the Thunder Sect, and the True Spirit Sect weren\'t even on the same level. The Xu Family was an ant on the ground and both the Thunder Sect and True Spirit Sects were giants that could crush that ant at any time.

There was no need for them to make the first move to approach the Xu Family.

So the second reason was that they wanted to take advantage of the unspoken rule after the auction to make a move against the Xu Family.

They would let the Xu Family take the item and then send people to attack them, taking the item from them. Or rather, the more important thing was to silence the Xu Family group forever.

After all, blades had no eyes in the darkness of the night.

Since that was the case, Lin Fan wouldn\'t just let his subordinates be taken out that easily.

Murong Yue naturally had her own matters to take care of and she could guess what Lin Fan was planning on doing, but she had already heard about his power, so she wasn\'t that worried. When she looked carefully, she could even feel a sense of danger that came from him, which told her that he definitely wasn\'t someone she could look down on.

After separating from the auction hall, Lin Fan quickly made his way through the city to meet up with the Xu Family group.

Along the way, he had quickly changed out of the suit and into dark clothes with a cloak to hide himself. The Xu Family group had done the same as they were all covered in a cloak.

As soon as they met up, they didn\'t waste any time with words before quickly making their way through the street back to the Xu Manor, but naturally things wouldn\'t end that easily.

Speaking of this, Lin Fan could even hear faint sounds all around them, coming from different parts of the city. It seemed like there were people engaging in this business all over the city…

As for the Xu Family group, when they were several kilometers away from the auction house and getting close to the Xu Manor, they suddenly felt that something was off.

For one thing, there was no one in the streets around them.

To avoid falling into any traps, they had been going on the main roads and there had been plenty of people around. However, the moment that they turned the corner, they found that the road ahead had been completely abandoned. Even when they turned around, they found that the road that they had just been on which was filled with people had suddenly been emptied.

There was no doubt that there was someone who wanted to make a move against them.

However, to be able to clear out all the people on a main street this quickly, there was no doubt that the people coming after them weren\'t weak. In fact, probably only a faction at the level of the twelve great factions could do something like this.

As for which one it was, it wasn\'t hard for Lin Fan to guess.

After all, there were two factions that were behind the auction where the trap had been set.

Once they saw this strange phenomenon, the Xu Family Head immediately turned to Lin Fan who shook his head to show that he didn\'t know what was going on either.

Seeing this, the Xu Family Head immediately said to everyone else, "Gather around and form a circle formation. Keep your eyes out for anyone that comes and prepare to fight at any moment."

Hearing this, the Xu Family members immediately formed a circle with their backs to each other so that they had vision of everything around them.

As for Lin Fan and the Xu Family Head, they stood in the center of the formation just waiting for the enemies to arrive.

Well, waiting wasn\'t the right way to describe it.

Lin Fan had called Brainy from the store through the pet storage space. Since the store was managed by the system, Brainy was able to directly enter the pet storage space from the store and then appear when Lin Fan called her.

Brainy was wrapped up on Lin Fan\'s arm during this time and controlling the scouts that it had released to check the surrounding area.

With Brainy\'s improved abilities, she was able to control even more puppets by splitting her spiritual senses even more, allowing her to quickly find the enemies.

There were ten of them in total that were dressed in black and there was one that was dressed in pure red.

They had them completely surrounded and they were just watching the Xu Family group from the rooftops, as if they were looking at their prey. From the way they were standing, it didn\'t seem like they would be making a move.

Rather it almost seemed like they were looking for someone as the figure in red carefully looked over the Xu Family group.

However, after a few minutes, the red figure shook his head as if he was disappointed in something before giving the order for the rest of the people in black to attack.

Once the figures in black received this order, they immediately jumped off the roof and surrounded the Xu Family group.

The moment that they appeared, the Xu Family group became tense because they could feel the aura coming from the people around them.

Even if they had become stronger from the resources that Lin Fan gave them, most of them were still in the Fragmented Soul Realm. As for the people that were currently surrounding them, all of them were in the Embryo Soul Realm.

They had the advantage in numbers, but that didn\'t mean a thing when it came to fighting experts that were much stronger than them.

But after looking at Lin Fan and seeing that he was still calm, they no longer felt as tense as before.

They had been with Lin Fan for some time and had gone through a few experiences with him. Every single time, Lin Fan had always been calm and every single time, he had single handedly taken care of every problem.

Seeing that he was just as calm this time, it was clear that he had a solution as well and there was nothing that they needed to worry about.

Once the black figures appeared, Lin Fan gave a nod to the Xu Family Head who gave a nod back in return before asking, "Who are you all? What are you doing here?"

The people in black didn\'t say anything as they just slowly moved forward until they had them completely surrounded. They didn\'t leave a single spot for the Xu Family members to escape from.

Only then did the figure in red finally appear in front of the Xu Family Head.

He took a look at Lin Fan\'s cloaked figure before turning to the Xu Family Head and saying, "Hand over the items that you won at the auction and maybe we\'ll spare you."

The Xu Family Head gave a cold snort when he heard this before saying, "After you\'ve done all this, do you really think that I would believe you?"

The red figure gave a laugh before saying, "You\'re free to believe what you want…" Then his voice turned cold as he released his aura, "But do you really think that you\'ll be able to get away?"

A chill ran down the backs of everyone from the Xu Family the moment that they felt this aura.

This was an aura that far surpassed any aura that they felt before. It was even hard for those in the Fragmented Soul Realm to remain standing under this aura since it was an aura that crossed two major realms.

Child Soul Realm!

They were certain that this was an expert in the Child Soul Realm!
