"Gaitian Alliance?"

Lin Fan's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he spoke coldly, "Very good, very good indeed, the Gaitian Alliance again?"

At this moment, Lin Fan's heart was filled with rage.

He hadn't even sought out the Gaitian Alliance proactively yet, and now they had the audacity to come to him?

Then, Lin Fan asked, "Who leads the Gaitian Alliance in their attack on Cloud West City?"

Lin Fan had already decided, regardless of who was leading, he would first kill that person to diminish the prestige of the Gaitian Alliance.

A high-ranking official from Cloud West City responded, "Well... Young Master, the Gaitian Alliance did not personally take action. As before, they've employed some tactics, forming alliances with several major forces around Cloud West City. It is through these forces that they are making a move on Cloud West City, which now finds itself barely able to hold on under their siege!"

"Alright, I understand now!"

Lin Fan nodded.

Then, turning to Ruan Hongying, Lin Fan said, "Mother, I'd like to borrow a few people."

Ruan Hongying smiled and replied, "Fan, don't forget, you are the Young Palace Master of Guiyun Palace. Whoever you need, just command directly; there's no need to talk of borrowing."

"Okay!"

Lin Fan nodded, then directly said to a high-ranking official, "Please help me select twelve Cultivators at the Peak of Life and Death Realm. I need them."

"Yes, Young Palace Master!"

After the official replied, he quickly went to select them as per Lin Fan's instructions.

Meanwhile, the high-ranking official from Cloud West City, seeing everyone addressing Lin Fan as Young Palace Master, couldn't help but be somewhat surprised, thinking to himself, "So, our young master is actually the Young Palace Master of Guiyun Palace? This is wonderful, Cloud West City will definitely be fine now."

Ruan Hongying looked at Lin Fan somewhat bewilderedly and spoke, "Fan, to tell you the truth, I thought you'd choose some Transcendent experts. I didn't expect you to just choose some Life and Death Realm Cultivators? I can't quite understand this; isn't choosing Transcendent experts better?"

Lin Fan shook his head and replied, "Mother, you misunderstand. Transcendent experts are indeed good, but... with my current cultivation, I still can't control them."

Ruan Hongying asked, "Can't control them? Are you worried they won't listen to you? Rest assured, you are the Young Palace Master, the future hope of the entire Guiyun Palace. They won't defy you."

Lin Fan continued shaking his head, "That's not what I mean. I am merely planning to set up a Battle Formation. A Battle Formation composed of twelve Transcendent experts would be beyond my control with my current cultivation. Thus, I can only choose Cultivators from the Life and Death Realm. Although they are much stronger than me, at least they are only at the Transcendent level, which I can still manage."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's clarification, Ruan Hongying suddenly realized.

So, that was why Lin Fan didn't choose Transcendent experts.

At the same time, Ruan Hongying couldn't help but be suspicious of what kind of Array Lin Fan intended to set up.

For a moment, Ruan Hongying felt that her son seemed quite mysterious. Even though she was his mother, she found him somewhat inscrutable.

Following that, Ruan Hongying asked again, "But, Fan, the Gaitian Alliance is no ordinary foe. Are you sure that a Battle Formation set up merely with twelve Life and Death Realm Cultivators will suffice?"

Ruan Hongying was worried.

However, Lin Fan simply smiled nonchalantly and said, "Mother, please don't worry. Everything will be fine."

Ruan Hongying said no more.

However, at that moment, Ruan Hongying decided that once Lin Fan and his group set off, she must send experts to follow them. Under no circumstances could she allow her son to face any danger.

Lin Fan then spoke to the high-ranking official from Cloud West City, "You, return to Cloud West City now. Tell Hu Feifan, no matter what, he must hold on for three days. After three days, I will naturally come to his rescue."

The high-ranking official from Cloud West City looked somewhat troubled as he said, "But Young Master, the situation in Cloud West City is already very tense. It's extremely difficult to hold on for three more days. If it's possible, please, Young Master, take action as soon as you can... I implore you, Young Master..."

The high-ranking official from Cloud West City wanted to continue pleading.

But Lin Fan coldly waved his hand and said, "Just go back and convey what I said. Tell Hu Feifan he must hold on for three days no matter what."

"Young Master..."

The high-ranking official from Cloud West City still wanted to argue.

Lin Fan's voice turned even colder as he said, "Did you not hear me?"

"Yes!"

The high-ranking official from Cloud West City, realizing Lin Fan was angry, did not dare say more and quietly withdrew.

After the high-ranking official from Cloud West City had left, Ruan Hongying asked Lin Fan, "Fan, why insist on having Cloud West City hold on for three days? We could send people out now. Who knows how many will die tragically in Cloud West City in three days!"

Lin Fan spoke calmly, "Mother, I am just testing Cloud West City's strength. In fact, I have already set up sufficient forces there. As long as they utilize these resources well, not to mention holding on for three days, even ten days wouldn't be an issue. It all depends on whether they can use the resources I left there effectively!"

Pausing for a moment, Lin Fan continued, "Besides, if they can't even hold on for three days, such a force is destined not to be an asset to me but a burden. In that case, why keep them? It's better for them to disappear sooner rather than later."

Lin Fan's voice was very calm.

However...

Everyone present, including Ruan Hongying, felt a chill as they listened to Lin Fan's words.

They suddenly realized that Lin Fan's way of doing things was truly ruthless!

"This guy is definitely going to be a ruthless tyrant in the future, a heartless and ruthless tyrant!" many thought to themselves.

While everyone was still shocked, Lin Fan continued, "Moreover, the overall strength of Cloud West City is uneven. It's time to weed out some of them."

At this moment, the previous high-ranking official had brought forward twelve Life and Death Realm experts.

Lin Fan's gaze slowly swept over the twelve Life and Death Realm experts.

The next moment, Lin Fan's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Through the Universal Image, Lin Fan could see that although these individuals were all at the Peak of Life and Death Realm, their combat abilities were among the lowest in that category.

Meaning, the high-ranking official from Guiyun Palace had not made a thorough effort in the search.
