After leaving the inner city, Lin Fan didn't head back to their office right away.
Instead, he started wandering around in the alleys, as if he didn't really have a goal.
He wandered around the alleys of the middle part of the city, going around in circles until he finally arrived in an open space that had no one else around. He just stood there in that open space as if he was waiting for something, but nothing appeared.
Seeing this, he finally said, "Come out, I already know that you're there."
After his voice rang out, there was finally movement from around him as several cloaked figures landed all around him.
The aura that these cloaked figures gave off weren't weak at all, every single one of them was in the Nascent Soul Realm.
It was clear that they weren't here with good intentions with the way that they surrounded him and covered themselves up with cloaks.
Lin Fan looked at all of the cloaked figures around him with a calm look before saying in a cold voice, "Can I help you with something?"
The cloaked figures didn't say a thing, but it was clear what they wanted when they pulled out their weapons.
Without giving Lin Fan any chance to react at all, they all attacked him at the same time. They didn't attack from the same direction, but attacked him from every direction to try to catch him off guard. At the same time, there were half of them that jumped into the air to prevent him from escaping into the air.
It was clear with how coordinated they were that this group already knew each other and were familiar with fighting together. The formation that they used didn't give him a single inch of room to escape.
But Lin Fan wasn't worried.
After all, he had chosen to stop in this place, so he was naturally confident that he was able to deal with any attackers that came after him.
As the attackers came closer and closer, Lin Fan just stood there as if he didn't have a worry in the world. However, when the attackers were about to reach him, there was a sudden pressure that fell onto all of them.
Not a single one of them was able to resist and they were slammed down into the ground.
They tried releasing their life energy, but they found that they couldn't release a single bit of it. They lost control of the laws that they had been controlling and all of the life energy gathered before had been scattered.

What had suddenly slammed into them and knocked them into the ground was a domain and this domain was centered around Lin Fan.
All of them knew what this was after seeing that they lost control of their life energy and couldn't help looking at Lin Fan in shock. Such a young kid was actually a True Soul Realm Expert?
How could someone like this end up in a slum city?
Shouldn't someone like this be the young master of some noble family?
But the truth was that the domain didn't actually come from Lin Fan.
While he had improved because of the new pets that he tamed, he actually didn't break through to the True Soul Realm just yet. He was still only in the Peak Nascent Soul Realm and couldn't use a domain himself.
But even if he couldn't use a domain himself, that didn't mean that he couldn't use the domain of his pets.
One of the True Soul Realm Beasts that Lin Fan had tamed was a giant snake, but it also had the ability to change its size at will. It was currently hiding inside of Lin Fan's sleeve where Brainy would normally be and was releasing this domain around him which suppressed all of his attackers.
Lin Fan just calmly looked at the people who had tried to attack him and with one swift flick of his hand, threw them in front of him in a pile. Then with another swift flick of his hand, he destroyed all of the cloaks hiding their faces.
When Lin Fan saw the true identity of his attackers, he couldn't help revealing a smile.
That was because among the people that attacked him, there was one that he noticed.
It was a person that had contacted him before on behalf of one of the ten strongest gangs. It was Jiang Gan who had threatened Lin Fan with Xin'er before.
Jiang Gan no longer seemed as confident as before, instead he had a bitter look on his face when he faced Lin Fan.
He had thought that Lin Fan was someone that he could easily defeat, but he never thought that this normal looking kid was actually a True Soul Realm Expert. Even now, he could still feel the domain pressing down on him.
But he didn't lose his cool as he said in a different tone compared to before, "Young master Lin, what a coincidence meeting you here. I think that this is all a misunderstanding and we will laugh about this in the future."
He forced himself to stay calm, but there was a more respectful tone in his voice compared to before. He no longer talked down to Lin Fan like he had once done before.
Now that he knew that Lin Fan was a True Soul Realm Expert, he treated him with the respect he would give to someone above him. That was because other than World Realm Experts sent down by the nobles, True Soul Realm Experts were the strongest people in the city.
Only the leaders of the ten strongest gangs were True Soul Realm Experts.
Lin Fan being a True Soul Realm Expert meant that he had the qualification to be as arrogant as he wanted because no one in the city would be able to stop him.
But Jiang Gan had nobles backing him, so he didn't fully submit to Lin Fan since he was also confident in his backers.
Lin Fan just said with a smile, "A misunderstanding you say? Are you sure you want to go with that?"
Jiang Gan felt a chill running down his spine as he saw Lin Fan's smile.
All of his subordinates also knew that this situation was bad, so they looked at Jiang Gang before looking at Lin Fan, as if they were considering whether they should betray Jiang Gan and move to Lin Fan's side.
Jiang Gan hesitated for a while before finally saying, "Young master Lin, I think that you should know what kind of people are behind me. I don't think that it would be in everyone's best interests if we were to…"
He left his words hanging, but the meaning behind them were clear.
It was a threat.
He was threatening Lin Fan with his backers to let him go.
Lin Fan just revealed a taunting smile and said in a teasing voice, "Oh, what should I do?"
Jiang Gan knew that he should take a step back, so he said, "As long as you let me go, there's nothing for you to worry about. I promise that I'll talk to them and…"
Before he could finish, Lin Fan suddenly flicked his hand which now had a white dagger in it. In one swift move, one of Jiang Gan's fingers was cut right off and flew through the air to land in front of him.
Lin Fan then said with a smile, "I didn't mean that. I meant how should I break you?"
Jiang Gan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this smile. He didn't scream out in pain like a normal person since he was already used to this kind of pain.
'',
He was the vice leader of the True Power Gang, so he had been in his fair shares of fights. This kind of pain wasn't enough for him to lose control just yet.
But he also had seen his fair share of people and he knew that Lin Fan wasn't joking. This young man in front of him really was planning on torturing him until he told him everything.
So without hesitation, Jiang Gan pulled out something from his waist and was about to throw it onto the ground.
But before he could, there was a vine that suddenly came out of the ground that grabbed his wrist. No matter how much strength he used, he wasn't able to break free of the grasp of the vine at all.
It was like he had been trapped by steel chains that held his arm in place.
But he didn't give up as he raised his other hand to grab the item he was holding.
It was just too bad that Lin Fan had already made his move and cut off his hand with one swift slash. The hand flew through the air before landing in Lin Fan's hand where he opened it to see what the item he was holding was.
The item was just a little ball, but Lin Fan didn't underestimate it because he could feel the laws that were coming from it. This ball was filled with powerful True Soul Realm laws and with just a bit of force, it could be shattered to release an attack at the level of a True Soul Realm Expert.
He knew that Jiang Gan was trying to shatter this ball to use this attack against him to buy time to escape, but he wasn't worried at all. That was because during this time, Brainy in his other sleeve had locked her spiritual senses on these people.
As long as they tried to make a single move, she would be ready with a vine to trap them and stop them from doing anything. Just like she had done just now with Jiang Gan.
After seeing this, Lin Fan gave a mental order to Brainy and even more vines came out of the ground to completely wrap up Jiang Gan. The only part of him that wasn't wrapped up anymore was his head.

With these vines wrapped up around him, he wasn't even able to move a single muscle as he just laid there on the ground looking up at Lin Fan.
Once he was trapped, Lin Fan shook his head and said with a smile, "That wasn't very nice, you know? If you cooperated a bit, I could have given you a painless death."
Jiang Gan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this and said, "So I die no matter what?"
Lin Fan nodded, "That's right, you die no matter what."
Jiang Gan broke out in laughter before saying, "Then I'll curse you from hell."
He was about to close his mouth to bite through his tongue and kill himself, but before he could, the vines reached out and blocked his mouth. He wasn't even allowed to kill himself…

Lin Fan shook his head and said with a smile, "How could it be that simple?"
That smile was like a smile of death for Jiang Gan.
