Various possibilities for escape kept swirling through Lin Fan's mind.

But...

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a suitable plan.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan's situation was becoming increasingly dire.

Lin Fan was already injured in several places; he was acutely aware that he wouldn't hold out much longer given the current circumstances...

"All out!"

The next moment, Lin Fan gritted his teeth: "Life Fire, burn!"

Without hesitation, Lin Fan ignited the Life Fire.

Suddenly, a towering aura erupted from Lin Fan's body.

"I wish to wield my spear and laugh at the sky, slay!"

Lin Fan roared fiercely.

Lin Fan's hair floated back, his eyes turned blood-red in an instant...

At that moment, Lin Fan resembled a War God.

"This..."

The surrounding attackers who were originally charging toward Lin Fan were internally shocked upon witnessing his transformation.

"Die!"

Lin Fan took action!

The Kill-Character Technique from the Combat Six-Character Technique exploded outward.

"Ah... ah... ah..."

People kept joining the battle, and people kept dying.

Wherever Lin Fan went, Imperial Guards fell one by one!

After being killed, each of them looked upward with eyes full of fear; perhaps they hadn't expected to be killed so easily.

"Today, even if it costs me everything, I will slaughter you all!"

Lin Fan shouted hoarsely.

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Lin Fan.

Lin Fan attacked the person without hesitation.

The person evaded Lin Fan's attack and softly said, "It's me!"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, because the voice sounded familiar, but where had he heard it?

Lin Fan instinctively looked over!

He instantly recognized the person as Zhao Fei'er.

Although Zhao Fei'er was masked, Lin Fan recognized her at a glance.

"Zhao Fei'er is unexpectedly strong? It turns out she isn't just a brothel girl!" Lin Fan thought quickly to himself.

Zhao Fei'er quietly said to Lin Fan, "I'm here to help you; let's fight our way out together!"

Lin Fan asked, "Why are you helping me?"

Zhao Fei'er replied, "Because I need your help, follow me!"

As Zhao Fei'er spoke, she was already heading in a direction to fight.

After a slight hesitation, Lin Fan decided to trust Zhao Fei'er.

In fact, Lin Fan had no other choice but to trust Zhao Fei'er at this moment.

Zhao Fei'er was very familiar with the entire underground passage.

She led Lin Fan to fight their way out, twisting and turning, quickly losing the pursuers behind them.

Lin Fan called out, "Miss Fei'er..."

But Zhao Fei'er interrupted him, saying, "Don't speak, this place is very special. If you speak, we'll quickly be discovered. Follow me; we'll talk after we leave."

They pushed forward.

Again, twisting and turning.

Lin Fan discovered that this wasn't a singular passage; there were many branch passages. Zhao Fei'er was leading Lin Fan through these branches, allowing them to escape the pursuit.

Finally, Zhao Fei'er led Lin Fan out through another exit from the passage.

The exit opened to a village.

The village consisted of dozens of households and initially appeared very ordinary; however, Lin Fan felt there was something unique upon seeing it.

"Perhaps, this place isn't what it seems!"

Lin Fan thought to himself.

Truthfully, Lin Fan felt a bit suspicious, but he kept his questions to himself, as he knew Zhao Fei'er wouldn't divulge much in their current situation.

Zhao Fei'er led Lin Fan into the village.

Upon entering, Lin Fan saw several villagers.

The villagers were mostly the elderly, weak, sick, or disabled. Upon seeing Zhao Fei'er, they respectfully greeted her, showing that Zhao Fei'er was held in high regard here.

What surprised Lin Fan even more was the villagers' cultivation was extremely high, each having Immortal General-level cultivation.

However, they had some method to completely hide their cultivation, making it difficult for others to detect, though Lin Fan could easily see through it with his Heavenly Eye.

Once again, Lin Fan looked at Zhao Fei'er walking ahead, wondering, "What kind of background does Zhao Fei'er have?"

In any case, Lin Fan felt Zhao Fei'er had a remarkable background.

Soon, they arrived at a villager's home.

The homeowner was an old man appearing in his sixties, with mostly white hair.

"Miss..."

The old man respectfully greeted Zhao Fei'er, his tone extremely deferential.

Zhao Fei'er waved him off, saying, "Uncle Fu, no need for formality. Any occurrences while I've been away?"

"Cough, cough..."

Uncle Fu coughed twice before speaking, "I was just about to report to you, Miss. Recently, strangers have occasionally appeared around our village; it seems we've been noticed."

"Is this true?"

Zhao Fei'er frowned slightly, saying, "But we are already well-hidden!"

"Cough, cough..."

After another cough, Uncle Fu said, "Miss, no wall is completely airtight. So, their discovery of us is not surprising, but this means we must relocate again; otherwise, if they take action, we might be wiped out!"

"Got it, you may leave!" Zhao Fei'er said to Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu asked, "But Miss, when will we move? I think it's best to move tonight, to avoid any mishaps!"

"Leave now!"

Zhao Fei'er reiterated.

Having said nothing further, Uncle Fu nodded and withdrew silently.

During this time, Lin Fan remained silent, though his curiosity was piqued.

After Uncle Fu departed, Zhao Fei'er asked, "Do you have any questions for me?"

Lin Fan hesitated momentarily before asking, "If I'm not mistaken, your enemy should be the Shuntian Kingdom?"

Zhao Fei'er was taken aback, asking, "How do you know?"

Lin Fan replied, "Guessed it!"

Zhao Fei'er chuckled, saying, "I don't know how you guessed it, but you're right, our enemy is indeed the Shuntian Kingdom!"

She paused before continuing, "Truth be told, I am a princess of the Daqi Kingdom. Once, the Daqi Kingdom and Shuntian Kingdom were like brothers, being neighbors with a close bond. We were brother kingdoms!"

"But unexpectedly, the Shuntian Kingdom plotted with enemies and, during a moment of inattention, obliterated the Daqi Kingdom!"

"My father and brothers all died at the Shuntian King's hands!"

"Thus, I must seek revenge!"

As she spoke, waves of killing intent erupted from Zhao Fei'er's body.
