Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xuan She's soul slammed into the light wall constructed by Xiao Lin's soul power two or three more times.
After realizing that not only could he not break through, but his soul was becoming even weaker, Xuan She finally remembered to flee. However, at this point, where was there any chance left for him to escape?
Sure enough, Xiao Lin, who had already stepped out from the darkness, reached out his hand as Xuan She's soul prepared to bolt, grabbing the opponent directly into his palm.
Looking at Xuan She's soul struggling desperately in his hand, Xiao Lin couldn't help but shake his head.
"Don't waste your energy. Now that you've fallen into my hands, do you think there's still room to escape?"
Xiao Lin spoke in a slow and unhurried manner.
"Ah, it's you, Lin Xiao! What are you trying to do? Do you want to provoke a great war between your Jia Nan Academy and our Sky Serpent Empire?"
As Xiao Lin's voice fell, Xuan She's soul finally recognized the newcomer.
However, it was precisely because he realized who it was that the fear on Xuan She's face intensified. After all, in his eyes, before drinking that semi-finished Red Flame Celestial Liquid, Xiao Lin was already an Eight-Star Dou Zong expert!
Even in a head-on confrontation, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning, let alone now when he was reduced to just a soul. But, wasn't Lin Xiao supposed to have gone to the Heavenly Water Cold Pond along with the other Dou Zong experts?
Why would he appear inside the Imperial Palace? Also, why did the other party want to kill him?
Countless questions flooded into Xuan She's mind at this moment.
"Heh, Xuan She, isn't what you're saying overestimating yourself a bit too much? Given what you did today, if your Emperor found out, could you possibly have a good ending?"
Xiao Lin asked back with a half-smile.
Sure enough, this single sentence from Xiao Lin left Xuan She's soul speechless. That's right, if today's matter were exposed, the Imperial Family would absolutely never let him off!
Therefore, his rhetoric just now was nothing more than empty bluster.
"Whew~, Lin Xiao, speak, what exactly do you want? Since when did the conduct of your Jia Nan Academy become so fond of being sneaky and playing tricks behind people's backs?"
After calming down, Xuan She tried hard to seek a slim chance of survival for himself. Because he knew that in the current situation, his life and death were no longer in his own hands.
"Don't make it sound so unpleasant. I am merely collecting a reward for the way your Imperial Family plotted against my Jia Nan Academy."
Xiao Lin continued to smile with an easy-going expression.
Since the situation was entirely under his control, there was no need for him to be too hurried.
"Ugh~"
However, these words from Xiao Lin once again choked Xuan She.
It turned out that his own past of recklessly making promises had caused the other party to feel unbalanced!
To whom could he complain?
His original plan was to simply make some random promises to the Jia Nan Academy, trick the person into coming over, and finally flee with the Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques from this place.
As for what happened afterward, that was the Imperial Family's problem and had nothing to do with him anymore. Who could have expected that the promise he made so casually back then would end up digging a hole for himself.
If he had known today would come, he would have been more cautious back then and wouldn't have made those promises. However, it was all too late now. One could only say that retribution isn't absent, it just hasn't arrived yet!
Now, the retribution had landed right on Xuan She's own head.
At this moment, Xuan She, knowing that the cause of everything today was the promise he had casually tossed out back then, was so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood. But currently, he simply could not speak the truth.
After all, if he told the truth, he feared his soul would be extinguished instantly. So, he could only swallow this bitter fruit himself.
"What, nothing left to say?"
However, Xiao Lin, unaware that Xuan She was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, continued to deliver soul-piercing questions.
"Fine, regarding this matter, it is indeed my Imperial Family that is in the wrong. We can choose not to pursue this, but you..."
"Don't. Can you still represent the Sky Serpent Empire's Imperial Family now?"
Before Xuan She could even finish his sentence, he was interrupted early by Xiao Lin.
Following Xiao Lin's words, Xuan She was stuck once again, not knowing what to say. But what could he do?
Current Xuan She could be said to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. He wanted to represent the Sky Serpent Empire's Imperial Family, but his actions had all fallen into Xiao Lin's eyes, so he naturally couldn't win Xiao Lin's trust.
But if he represented himself, then Xiao Lin would have even less reason to worry about anything. It could be said that if a soul could shed tears, Xuan She would be crying right now.
The truth was that he simply couldn't argue his way out anymore!
"Nothing left to say? Then you can be on your way."
Looking at the silent soul of Xuan She, Xiao Lin slightly increased the strength in his hand.
Immediately, Xuan She's soul felt a powerful squeezing force. If this force continued to increase, Xuan She had no doubt that his soul would be crushed into an explosion instantly!
Actually, it was only because Xiao Lin didn't have the methods of the Hall of Souls. Otherwise, swallowing Xuan She's soul on the spot wouldn't even be an issue!
After all, soul power was the most pure thing. Although Xuan She's soul power was only at the high-stage Mortal Realm, it could indeed be considered a supplement. Didn't you see Yun Shan in the original story?
Even though he was a Dou Zong who only broke through forcibly with the help of the Hall of Souls, his soul was still eventually taken away by Protector Wu. The current soul of Xuan She, compared to the Yun Shan of the original story, would only be stronger.
Therefore, his soul would naturally be of some use to the Hall of Souls.
But unfortunately, although Xiao Lin possessed Heaven Realm Soul Power, his application of soul power was entirely based on using brute force to achieve results; he didn't have any techniques to speak of.
As for Soul Dou Techniques, he hadn't mastered a single one. So, if Xiao Lin really forcibly devoured Xuan She's soul, it was possible that his own soul would develop problems in the future. Therefore, regarding such risky matters, he naturally wouldn't do it.
Even if it was a bit of a pity, directly extinguishing Xuan She's soul was the best choice for the current Xiao Lin.
"No, wait, stop, Lin Xiao! As long as you let me go, everything here is yours!"
At this stage, begging for mercy was Xuan She's only remaining option.
However, Xiao Lin's right hand, which was gripping Xuan She's soul, continued to increase its pressure, without the slightest intention of letting go.
"What are you saying? Are you getting senile? Everything here belongs to me already, doesn't it?"
Xiao Lin said something that almost made Xuan She vomit blood with a perfectly natural expression.
How can a person be so shameless?
"Besides, after killing you, not only can I prevent any leaks, but I can also let you take the fall for me. After all, the only ones who can enter this place are members of your Sky Serpent Empire's Imperial Family!"
Finally, with a mischievous grin, Xiao Lin delivered one last sentence that sent Xuan She into total despair.
