All eyes were on Lin Fan and Huan Yue.
Some people were about to step forward to persuade Huan Yue, but they eventually gave up the idea, because, as Huan Yue just said, she was a very stubborn woman. Once she made a decision, no one's persuasion would be of any use.
Lin Fan stepped into the danger zone.
At the same time, Lin Fan also said to Huan Yue, "Remember, you must follow in my footsteps, and you must stay close within a single breath. If you're slow, an accident might happen, and if it does, no one can save you."
Lin Fan's tone was very calm, yet it gave an undeniable feeling.
After listening to Lin Fan, Huan Yue obediently replied, "Okay."
The other people, after hearing the exchange between Huan Yue and Lin Fan, were all astonished.
Because they really did not expect that Huan Yue, such a strong-willed person, could have such a gentle side?
Some couldn't help but think, "Huan Yue acts so obediently in front of Lin Fan; could she like him?"
Those who originally liked Huan Yue couldn't help but feel jealous and hateful towards Lin Fan at this moment.
"Hmph, let's hope Lin Fan just dies in there!"
This was the thought in many people's hearts.
But what happened next disappointed them.
Because Lin Fan took several steps without encountering any danger.
And Huan Yue quietly followed behind Lin Fan wherever he went, giving the impression of a harmonious couple.
Earlier, everyone outside had memorized the steps Lin Fan and Huan Yue took.
Seeing that Lin Fan and Huan Yue were safe, they realized that Lin Fan had indeed found a way into the danger zone.
Finally, someone couldn't sit still anymore.
"I don't care anymore; I'm following them into the danger zone!"
This was a powerful member of the Human Clan, also a pursuer of Huan Yue. He rushed in, not only intending to seek the opportunities and treasures in the Palace of the Realm Lord but also to capture Huan Yue back.
He quickly charged into the danger zone.
But just as he entered the danger zone, boundless mysterious energy suddenly acted on him.
"Ah!"
He screamed horribly.
Even though he had prepared earlier, the energy that suddenly acted on him was too powerful. So, despite his preparations, it was futile. In the next moment, the overwhelming energy crazily destroyed his body, and in an instant, his body exploded.
Even his soul was completely obliterated.
Just like that, an expert of the Earth Immortal Realm was so easily annihilated.
"What... what is going on?"
Everyone outside was utterly shocked when they saw this. They couldn't understand why Lin Fan and Huan Yue could walk forward safely while anyone else entering would be blasted to death?
While everyone was in utter shock, Lin Fan stopped and turned back to say, "If you don't want to die, it's best not to come in here. The array here is constantly changing. Although I came in just now, the array has now shifted to another form. If you follow my step technique in here, you will undoubtedly die."
"Er!"
After hearing Lin Fan's words, most people were filled with regret.
If they had known this would happen, they should have followed in their footsteps into the Palace of the Realm Master earlier.
But unfortunately, they only realized this now, when regret was useless.
They could only watch as Lin Fan and Huan Yue entered, finding opportunities inside that made them green with envy.
Someone shouted, "Young Hero Linfan, it was our fault earlier; please don't hold it against us. Come back and take us into the Palace of the Realm Lord with you. After all, it's very dangerous in there, and with us by your side, you might encounter much less danger."
Another person quickly added, "Yes, Young Hero Lin Fan, come back and take us with you. We will do our utmost to serve you."
"From now on, you are our leader. No matter what the situation is, we will never offend you again!"
To enter the Palace of the Realm Lord and seek opportunities, they directly humbled themselves before Lin Fan.
Even Huan Yue standing beside Lin Fan felt a bit compassionate at this moment and said to Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, why not... go out and bring them in?"
"Hehe!"
Lin Fan laughed, first waving his hand towards Huan Yue, then loudly said to the people outside, "Sorry, I can only deduce the array here once, and I can't do it a second time. So even if I come out again, I won't find a safe path through the array. So, take care of yourselves."
Of course, Lin Fan could indeed find another safe path.
But to spare himself the trouble, Lin Fan naturally wouldn't go back to bring them.
Then Lin Fan said to Huan Yue, "Let's go!"
Lin Fan walked in front, and Huan Yue continued to follow behind.
Soon, they reached not far from the Palace of the Realm Lord.
Lin Fan, who had been walking quickly, suddenly stopped.
Following closely behind Lin Fan, Huan Yue unexpectedly bumped into Lin Fan.
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt a softness.
In that moment, Lin Fan couldn't help but be somewhat distracted.
But he quickly regained his composure.
Huan Yue asked, "Why did you stop?"
Lin Fan replied, "We can't continue forward; there's danger ahead!"
Lin Fan deduced that the area ahead was currently a dead zone; if they continued forward, their lives would soon be at risk.
Huan Yue asked, "Then what do we do? If we don't go forward, we won't be able to enter the Realm Master's palace."
Lin Fan said, "Don't worry, this array is constantly changing. Eventually, the dead zone ahead will become a livable area, and then we can continue forward."
Huan Yue nodded without saying more.
Even though Huan Yue was very powerful, arrays weren't her specialty; she didn't really understand them. So, what Lin Fan said, Huan Yue couldn't comprehend.
"Oh no!"
Suddenly, Lin Fan cried out softly, his face showing a terrified expression, as if encountering something unbelievable.
Seeing Lin Fan's reaction, Huan Yue was slightly taken aback and asked, "What happened? Did something occur?"
Lin Fan said, "The safe zone we're in is getting smaller."
Huan Yue was startled, asking, "What do you mean?"
She didn't quite understand Lin Fan's words.
Lin Fan said, "I mean that danger is approaching us, and currently our safe zone is about three feet in radius. But soon, as the danger gets closer, our safe zone will shrink to at most two feet. Beyond two feet, there's endless danger, and even with our current strength, stepping outside those two feet could be extremely dangerous; we might lose our lives."
What?
Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Huan Yue was directly shocked.
Two feet of space?
Doesn't that mean they have to hug tightly to avoid the danger?
Huan Yue thought to herself, "Is this really fate? Do I truly have to embrace him? I... I can't imagine hugging him! Even in the past, Nine Moon Immortal Venerate never hugged me."
Despite Huan Yue's age, she had never had close contact with a man.
So at this moment, the thought of having to embrace Lin Fan made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Watch out!"
Just as Huan Yue was lost in thought, Lin Fan suddenly shouted and pulled Huan Yue aside.
Soon, a dangerous blade swept past the spot where Huan Yue had stood.
Luckily, Lin Fan pulled Huan Yue aside; otherwise, if the dangerous blade had swept across Huan Yue, she would have been injured.
Because the energy contained in that dangerous blade was extremely powerful, even an Earth Immortal Realm expert might not withstand it.
Lin Fan asked Huan Yue, "What were you thinking? You were lost in thought just now?"
Huan Yue felt embarrassed, quickly shaking her head and saying, "No... I wasn't thinking about anything."
Lin Fan said, "Immortal Huan Yue, regardless, we're in absolute danger right now. In this situation, we must maintain our focus; otherwise, a moment of carelessness and we could die."
"I understand!"
Huan Yue said, somewhat ashamed.
At the same time, a strange thought appeared in Huan Yue's mind.
"So similar, exceptionally similar. This demeanor is just like the Nine Moon Immortal Venerate of old, especially when he was scolding me; it's simply too similar!"
"Could it be he really has some connection with Nine Moon Immortal Venerate?"
In the past, the Nine Moon Immortal Venerate had scolded Huan Yue in this way, and she remembered it clearly, so seeing Lin Fan scold her like this again made her have different feelings.
Thinking this, Huan Yue couldn't help but space out again.
"Immortal Huan Yue!" Lin Fan called out again.
"Uh..."
Huan Yue came to her senses, asking, "Uh... Young Hero, I'm sorry, I spaced out again!"
"Alright!"
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly.
At this point, Lin Fan didn't know what to say.
He had clearly told her not to space out, yet she still did, leaving Lin Fan with no solution.
