250: Borrow or steal? Brothers reunite! [Seeking follow-up reading]

The two quickly shuttled through the vast Heavenly Palace. After about ten minutes, they reached the depths of the Heavenly Palace.

The defenses here were extremely strict, but with Ying Huanhuan leading the way, the two did not encounter any obstruction.

"We're here."

Ying Huanhuan's steps suddenly stopped before a magnificent hall.

Before the hall, a light barrier, shaped like an inverted bowl, covered the entire hall.

Ying Huanhuan gently raised her jade hand, and a white jade stone shot out from her palm. When it touched the light barrier, the latter immediately rippled violently, and then the ripples spread, forming a light portal.

"Let's go."

Ying Huanhuan cautiously looked around before slipping into the light barrier, then pushed open the hall's main door and walked inside.

Behind her, Lin Fan followed closely.

The hall was extremely vast, with many massive pillars. These pillars were covered in profound runes, subtly resembling a grand formation.

Lin Fan's gaze swept around and quickly discovered a fiery red ancient zither in the center of the hall, placed atop a jade stone pillar.

The ancient zither was adorned with a Phoenix spreading its Wings pattern. From a distance, the Wings seemed to flutter, like rising flames.

A rather terrifying fluctuation slowly emanated from it, causing the surrounding space to show signs of distortion.

"That must be the Sky Phoenix Zither, right?" Lin Fan stared at the fiery red ancient zither, his Face filled with joy as he spoke.

"Mm."

Ying Huanhuan nodded, smiling, "We can secretly take it. We'll just return it after we're done using it."

"Your method is to steal the zither?" Lin Fan said with a surprised expression.

"Are you suggesting we ask Martial Uncle Qi Lei to borrow it? That would definitely be a no-go!"

Ying Huanhuan rolled her eyes at Lin Fan, then raised her jade hand and pouted, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility if anything happens, lest someone gets innocently angry again."

"Thanks," Lin Fan said, adding, "I reiterate, I really wasn't angry."

"Hmph, no need."

Ying Huanhuan smiled like a little fox, waving her jade hand.

As she smiled, Ying Huanhuan turned her head, her beautiful, bright eyes fixed on Lin Fan, and she smiled, "Also, Elder Sister asked me to tell you that she said you were incredibly handsome when you voluntarily gave up command that day..."

You probably said that yourself.

Lin Fan thought to himself, naturally not exposing her, and said with a smile, "I'm not good at commanding, and I was afraid of messing things up for so many Senior Brothers. It's more suitable for Senior Sister Xiaoxiao to command."

Ying Huanhuan pursed her lips and smiled, then her slender jade hand suddenly formed a seal. Following this, the Sky Phoenix Zither on the stone pillar floated down and gently landed in her arms.

"Let's go, quickly there and back," Ying Huanhuan said, holding the Sky Phoenix Zither.

"You're coming too? There might be danger," Lin Fan looked at Ying Huanhuan, reminding her.

Ying Huanhuan smiled, "Within this Sky Phoenix Zither, there's an imprint left by my father. Apart from me, the next owner, no one else can control it. Unless that person can erase the imprint my father left."

"It seems I can only bring you along," Lin Fan shrugged, looking helpless.

"This maiden is willing to go; I'm giving you Face," Ying Huanhuan tilted her head, looking at Lin Fan, who was being put on the spot, and smiled charmingly.

"Junior Senior Sister Huanhuan is right, then let's go," Lin Fan smiled upon hearing this, agreeing with Ying Huanhuan's words.

With that, Lin Fan turned and walked out of the hall.

Ying Huanhuan watched his retreating figure, a cunning glint in her large eyes, then leisurely followed him.

After the two left, the hall once again became silent.

A few minutes later, space rippled on a stone pillar, and the figures of Ying Xuanzi and Qi Lei slowly emerged.

Qi Lei complained a few times to Ying Xuanzi, but in the end, he could only helplessly watch the two depart... Outside Dao Sect, at the edge of the sect-protecting formation's light barrier, a ripple suddenly appeared.

Then, three figures stealthily emerged from it.

These three were naturally Ying Huanhuan and Lin Fan, as well as Lin Dong, whom Lin Fan had called along. "Hehe, we weren't discovered," Ying Huanhuan said, holding the fiery red Sky Phoenix Zither, her large eyes filled with surprise as she looked at the quiet surroundings, smiling.

"I'm afraid the Sect Master and the others have already discovered us, they just didn't come out to stop us," Lin Fan said, shaking his head slightly.

With that, Lin Fan also turned and respectfully bowed towards Dao Sect.

Lin Dong's thoughts raced, and he quickly understood. He also respectfully bowed towards Dao Sect.

Ying Huanhuan paused for a moment, then stuck out her tongue, clearly having realized it as well.

"Let's go," Lin Fan suddenly pulled Ying Huanhuan into his arms and said.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Ying Huanhuan was startled by Lin Fan's action. Only when the man's breath enveloped her did she come back to her senses. She then quickly blocked herself with the Sky Phoenix Zither, her Face burning like fire as she stared at Lin Fan.

"I'm faster. I'll take you directly. After all, Dao Sect is quite far from the Myriad Beast Mountain Range."

Lin Fan looked at the girl whose Face was red as anything, explained, and then with a thought, he activated the Vermilion Bird Wings.

A pair of massive crimson Wings suddenly appeared behind Lin Fan.

As the Wings flapped, a crimson storm was stirred between heaven and earth!

"If you dare to mess around, I'll take the Sky Phoenix Zither back to Dao Sect," Ying Huanhuan muttered in a low voice.

"Don't worry," Lin Fan chuckled, transforming into a crimson streak of light and shooting towards the distance.

Seeing this, Lin Dong, who was behind, also activated his Azure Dragon Wings and followed a short distance behind the two.

【Ding! You touched Ying Huanhuan and gained the sound wave skill, Soul-Reaping Sanskrit Sound!】

At the same time, the System's familiar voice rang in Lin Fan's mind.

Lin Fan's mind stirred, and he mastered this sound wave secret technique while flying... The Myriad Beast Mountain Range was located in the southwestern region of the Eastern Xuan Region.

If calculated by the speed of the large eagle that Lin Fan and the others used to go to the Blood Rock Land, it would take about half a month.

However, Lin Fan and Lin Dong were both very fast, and they appeared above the vast mountain range in less than a week.

In fact, if not for accommodating Lin Dong's speed, Lin Fan's time might have been even shorter.

"Brother Lin Fan, it's in that direction," Upon reaching the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, Lin Dong sensed the positions of Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan through the demonic spirit imprint in his body and pointed Lin Fan in a direction.

"You lead the way," Lin Fan nodded slightly in response.

"Mm," Lin Dong agreed, flapped his Dragon Wings, and shot forward.

Lin Fan, with Ying Huanhuan, followed closely behind.

After about ten minutes, they finally saw the two familiar figures they had been separated from for a long time, on a nearby mountain peak.

"Big Brother, Second Brother!"

Before Lin Fan and the other two had even landed on the mountain peak, one of the figures, as robust as an iron tower, impatiently stood up, his powerful voice echoing like muffled thunder from afar.

Lin Fan, with Ying Huanhuan, swept onto the mountain peak, then released her, his gaze fixed on the front.

There, two figures stood.

The person on the left wore a green robe, his handsomeness surpassing many women; the person on the right was massive, covered in crisscrossing scars, exuding a ferocious and malevolent Qi.

These two were, of course, Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan, whom Lin Fan and the others had not seen for a long time.

The four brothers reminisced for a while, and Lin Fan then introduced Ying Huanhuan.

"Hehe, it seems that little girl is quite fond of you," Xiao Diao, upon learning that Ying Huanhuan brought the Sky Phoenix Zither, couldn't help but give Lin Fan a strange smile.

Beside them, Ying Huanhuan's cheeks flushed, then she gave Xiao Diao a sweet smile, appearing as pure as could be.

Lin Fan found this quite amusing.

Indeed, women are all good actresses.

"First, tell me what happened. What good thing did Xiao Yan discover again?" Lin Fan rolled his eyes at Xiao Diao, speaking exasperatedly.
