Chapter 740: Chapter 740

Afterward, Lin Fan did not continue his cultivation, because his cultivation had almost reached its limits. Continuing to cultivate any further would be doing useless work. At present, Lin Fan's cultivation had hit a bottleneck; unless he encountered some other opportunity, it would be very difficult for him to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.

Lin Fan soon wandered aimlessly into the garden outside.

The environment here was exceptionally good. As Lin Fan strolled casually, he felt his spirit become carefree and refreshed.

Eventually, Lin Fan found a spot to sit down.

Just like that, Lin Fan sat quietly and nonchalantly, doing nothing, just sitting there and quieting his mind.

Time passed, second by second.

However, for Lin Fan, time was no longer important at that point.

Who knows how long had passed when Lin Fan suddenly felt a wave of hostility locking onto him.

Lin Fan returned to his senses, and at the same time, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Someone was targeting him with hostility? Who could it be?

In the next moment, about a dozen young men surrounding a youth around Lin Fan's age approached from this direction. The youth's cultivation had also reached the level of the Great Venerate Realm.

However, Lin Fan could tell that although the youth's cultivation was at the Great Venerate Realm, his fighting ability was hardly worth mentioning. His inner strength was shallow and inflated, clearly the result of forcefully stacking his cultivation using medicinal means.

Behind the youth, however, were several experts, all with strong combat abilities.

Seeing this situation, Lin Fan knew that the visitor was up to no good.

Yet Lin Fan was puzzled. In his memory, he had never seen this youth before, and they certainly had no grievances or hatred between them.

But now... this youth actually brought people to cause trouble for Lin Fan?

When the group got close, Lin Fan turned around, ready to leave.

Of course, Lin Fan wanted to leave not because he was afraid of them, but because he felt it unnecessary to get entangled with this kind of pampered scion.

After all, he had come to the Holy Soul Domain for other important matters and did not want to create any unnecessary complications.

However, as Lin Fan intended to leave, it was clear that the youth behind him did not want Lin Fan to go because his main purpose for coming today was to find Lin Fan. Now that he had found Lin Fan, how could he let Lin Fan leave?

The youth demanded coldly.

Since the youth had issued such an order, it was natural for Lin Fan not to leave.

Lin Fan slowly turned around.

The youth and his group quickly got to a spot not far across from Lin Fan.

Lin Fan asked coldly, "You, what do you want?"

The youth replied, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhao Jiang, from the Zhao Family!"

The Zhao Family was also one of the top ten noble families in the Imperial Capital.

Therefore, although Zhao Jiang often caused trouble in the Imperial Capital, still, no one dared to do anything to him.

Moreover, upon hearing the name Zhao Jiang, many people would show a fearful expression because, in the Imperial Capital, Zhao Jiang had essentially become synonymous with a tyrant.

Seeing Lin Fan, Zhao Jiang introduced himself; his main purpose was to make Lin Fan feel afraid, so he could seize the initiative with a show of intimidation.

What Zhao Jiang could never have expected was that after introducing himself, Lin Fan remained very calm. No expression of fear appeared on his face.

This reaction left Zhao Jiang feeling quite displeased.

However, what Zhao Jiang could never have expected, and what made him even more upset, was yet to come.

Lin Fan said indifferently, "I'm not interested in your name. What do you want with me? Speak quickly, my time is precious, and I do not intend to waste it on you."

After hearing Lin Fan's words, Zhao Jiang became instantly furious: "Bastard, do you know to whom you're speaking?"

Lin Fan replied indifferently, "As I said before, I'm not interested in your identity, state your business quickly, or else I'm leaving!~"

Zhao Jiang barely managed to suppress the anger in his heart and looked at Lin Fan with a cold voice, "I came today specifically to warn you!"

Lin Fan burst into laughter and said, "I'm a bit curious now, what are you warning me about?"

Zhao Jiang stated, "I'm warning you, do not entertain any thoughts about Gao Feiyan because Gao Feiyan is destined to be my, Zhao Jiang's, woman. If you insist on competing for Gao Feiyan's hand in marriage, I can guarantee that once you step off the stage, you will mysteriously die!"

Lin Fan also became very displeased and asked coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

Zhao Jiang shook his head and said, "You're wrong, this is not a threat, but merely stating a fact!"

Having said this, Zhao Jiang paused, but he didn't give Lin Fan a chance to speak and continued, "Alright, my warning has been delivered. Now, it's up to you what to do. Just don't recklessly lose your life in the Imperial Capital; it wouldn't be worth it!"

After speaking, Zhao Jiang turned away with his men and left with long strides.

Lin Fan stood still, watching the backs of Zhao Jiang and his men leaving, with a cold smile on his face.

After a while, Lin Fan sneered and muttered to himself, "Heh, truly worthy of being a young master of a distinguished family, already aware that I intend to participate in the martial contest for Miss Gao's hand in marriage? However, I'd like to see how you could do me any harm if I participate. Zhao Jiang, right? If you're seeking your own death, I'll oblige. I don't mind making you my first kill in the Imperial Capital!"

A murderous aura was released from Lin Fan's body.

It was evident that if Zhao Jiang didn't restrain himself, Lin Fan would indeed kill.

The next day, in front of the Gao Family's residence, a huge platform was still set up.

On the platform, there was a pavilion, and inside, Gao Feiyan sat, eating snacks and fruit while watching below.

Half a day had already passed, yet no one dared to challenge Gao Feiyan.

Because Gao Feiyan's combat strength was indeed too strong, many believed they were no match for her and naturally did not dare to challenge her.

But there are always exceptions.

Suddenly, a man in his thirties rushed onto the platform and shouted, "Miss Gao, I hereby challenge you!"

This man's cultivation level was also of the Great Venerate Realm and had even reached the Late Period of the Great Venerate Realm.

Gao Feiyan's own cultivation was merely at the Middle Period of the Great Venerate Realm. The source of this content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

He thought that with an advantage in cultivation level, he should be able to defeat Gao Feiyan.

Gao Feiyan slowly got up, then walked out from the pavilion, her beautiful eyes glancing at the man before shaking her head and saying, "You may leave."

The man was startled and slightly confused as he looked at Gao Feiyan, asking, "What do you mean?"

Gao Feiyan still spoke evenly, "Because you are not my match, so you should leave. Otherwise, if you insist on fighting me, it would just be an embarrassment for you."
