It seemed to have sensed Xiao Fan's presence.
Inside the Storage Ring, the Soul Imprint left by Zhu Kun surged toward Xiao Fan with terrifying power. In the past, Xiao Fan would already have withdrawn, leaving only a small portion of his soul power behind to steadily wear away the imprint.
After all, no matter how powerful Zhu Kun was, what remained inside the Storage Ring was merely a source without roots. With enough patience, Xiao Fan would eventually erase it.
This time, however, with Zi Yan present, Xiao Fan chose not to retreat.
His formidable soul power formed a barrier ahead of him. Then he transmitted his voice to Zi Yan. "Quick, now!"
At Xiao Fan's signal, Zi Yan did not hesitate. She extended her soul power into the Storage Ring.
Boom!
Vast soul fluctuations slammed into Xiao Fan's soul barrier. Despite his preparations, he still felt a wave of dizziness sweep through his mind.
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Fan could not help marveling at how terrifying a Dou Sheng was.
It was only a Soul Imprint left inside a Storage Ring who knew how long ago, yet it still caused him considerable trouble.
"Zi Yan, can you do it?!"
Feeling the pressure, Xiao Fan questioned Zi Yan. If it proved impossible, he could only abandon this shortcut and return to his original plan.
"I think so. Give me another half a cup of tea's time, and I should be able to break through the barrier."
Hearing Zi Yan's answer, Xiao Fan felt a flicker of secret delight. At least his idea had been correct. Zi Yan was Zhu Kun's daughter, and with her taking action, the obstruction within the Storage Ring did not seem entirely insurmountable.
With success within reach, a ruthless glint flashed through Xiao Fan's eyes.
