When the spatial tunnel behind the Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo, disappeared in front of him, and he had completely stepped out from within it, Xiao Lin was already considering how to handle the other party.
At the same time, with just a single glance, Xiao Lin saw through Cha Luo's Dou Qi cultivation—peak Eight-Star Dou Zun!
He was a bit weaker than his current self.
Although Xiao Lin had the confidence that if his full power erupted, he could achieve a swift victory over the other party. But Cha Luo was an Eight-Star Dou Zun after all, already belonging to the ranks of high-tier Dou Zun.
Even if his strength was inferior to Xiao Lin's, if Xiao Lin wanted to achieve an instant kill against the other party, it was obviously absolutely impossible to do!
Moreover, the people who came out of the Hall of Souls were all skilled in Soul Dou Techniques. Even if Xiao Lin eliminated the other party, he couldn't guarantee that he could keep the other party's soul behind.
In addition, the most important point was that Xiao Lin could not be sure whether there were other people from the Hall of Souls hiding in the dark?
Therefore, once he made a move, there would no longer be any room for mediation between him and the Hall of Souls.
Although both sides were destined to become enemies in the future, as for right now, Xiao Lin did not wish to clash with the Hall of Souls.
One must know, once you got stuck to this kind of filthy thing, it was really something you couldn't shake off even if you wanted to!
"No, it's not suitable to fall out completely with the Hall of Souls for the time being, that would be too disadvantageous for my next steps to establish a foothold in the Central Plains!"
With his eyes flickering, Xiao Lin abandoned the thought in his heart of wanting to directly eliminate the Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo.
Don't blame Xiao Lin for being cowardly, this was the decision most beneficial to himself that he made after combining his own circumstances!
Even in the world of Battle Through the Heavens, he was already an age pushing fifty, and had long since ceased to be some kind of reckless youth. Acting impulsively merely out of his own likes and dislikes did not fit Xiao Lin's personality.
Of course, if the Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo, made a move on him first, then there would be nothing left to say, just fighting the guy and getting it over with!
Xiao Lin would make choices regarding certain matters based on his own interests, but this didn't mean that when people were already riding on your face and taking a crap, you could still not strike back.
Like the kind of choice Huang Quan Zun Zhe made when he stormed the Yellow Spring Pavilion, he wouldn't be able to do it even if it killed him!
"Moreover, judging from the attitude that this Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun just displayed, the reason why he intercepted me doesn't seem to carry much hostility..."
Between the lightning-fast turning of Xiao Lin's thoughts, he thought once again.
On this point, Xiao Lin still trusted his own judgment.
Since the other party didn't come holding hostility, then Xiao Lin knew what he should do. Just right, the time for the Spatial Trade Fair was one year later, and taking advantage of this period, he could also lie low to avoid the spotlight...
Don't look at how Xiao Lin thought about so many things, but in reality, from the moment the Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo, reported his own name until now, the before and after did not exceed ten seconds!
Seeing Xiao Lin remain silent, the Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo, spoke up once more.
"Your Excellency Lin Xiao, I come today representing the Hall of Souls, wanting to invite..."
"Wait, Tian Zun Cha Luo, is it? I suddenly remembered that there is an extremely important matter that needs my handling, so I will not keep you company for now! If Tian Zun Cha Luo has any business with me, we can chat another day!"
Cha Luo had just opened his mouth on his side, and before a single sentence was finished, he was interrupted by Xiao Lin.
"Buzz~"
At the exact same time, a spatial tunnel opened behind Xiao Lin.
Without any hesitation, after finishing his sentence, Xiao Lin directly shifted his body with a flash and retreated inside the spatial tunnel.
That movement was so fast that the elderly man, the Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo, simply didn't react to it in time!
At the instant Xiao Lin vanished, he had only just raised his hand, intending to stop him. However, how could Xiao Lin give him this opportunity?
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
A gust of wind blew past, rolling up a few fallen leaves.
In this place, right now there was only left a single Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo, who was by himself in a daze.
This scene truly made him feel quite awkward.
"Did this fellow refuse my Hall of Souls' invitation? That's not right, this old man's invitation hasn't even been sent out yet! Then what exactly does this count as?"
Xiao Lin's operation directly left the Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo, completely dumbfounded!
Really, he had never encountered this kind of situation today in his entire life!
What the reputation of his Hall of Souls was like in the Central Plains, he naturally knew. In the past, it wasn't that he hadn't invited other people to join his Hall of Souls.
However, those people invited by him would either directly refuse, and he would subsequently make a move against the other party. For the Hall of Souls, those who refused them were enemies!
Or, they would directly choose to join, which was for the best, and everyone would be colleagues from then on.
But what about today? His invitation hadn't even been sent out, and the person had already vanished with a flash.
What did this count as? Cha Luo, who had never experienced this kind of situation, was also somewhat dumbfounded at this moment.
Only after a good while did he finally react.
"An interesting fellow, is this wanting to avoid offending my Hall of Souls while also not wanting to join?"
Cha Luo, who already had half his body buried in the dirt, was after all an old hand in the Jianghu, and after contemplating for a long time, finally understood the intention behind Xiao Lin's actions.
That was why he evaluated Xiao Lin as an interesting fellow.
However, because Xiao Lin did not directly refuse the invitation of the Hall of Souls, the current Cha Luo also did not classify Xiao Lin as an enemy of their Hall of Souls. The main reason was that his invitation hadn't even had the chance to be sent out yet.
On this point, his Hall of Souls still possessed a bit of principle.
"Only, when we meet next time, I hope you can still run this fast, so that I cannot send out the invitation!"
With a light chuckle, Cha Luo turned around and left this place as well. After returning to the Hall of Souls, Cha Luo also reported this matter to the higher-ups.
Ultimately, because Cha Luo's invitation was not sent out, and Xiao Lin had no chance to refuse or agree, the Hall of Souls merely listed Xiao Lin as an object for observation, without directly labeling him as an enemy.
It had to be said, Xiao Lin was indeed witty and decisive enough!
The colossus that was the Hall of Souls, he couldn't afford to provoke it right now, but couldn't he still afford to hide from it?
When in doubt, run away first, this was absolutely correct indeed!
As for Xiao Lin at this moment, after running away from right before the eyes of the Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo.
He continuously opened several more spatial tunnels to shift his location, and all along the way, he also used his powerful Heaven Realm soul power to erase the spatial coordinates.
Only after repeating this back and forth seven or eight times did Xiao Lin finally come to a halt.
"Phew~, this should have shaken him off, right?"
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Xiao Lin reached out to wipe the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead.
On his face, a lingering look of fear was also revealed. The purpose of that Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo, of the Hall of Souls coming to look for him, he did not want to know.
No matter whether the matter the other party spoke of was good or bad for him, Xiao Lin was indifferent to it, and he was too lazy to listen.
In short, in Xiao Lin's eyes, the moment he encountered a person of the Hall of Souls, he had already labeled the other party as a filthy thing. Encountering a filthy thing and still not running, were you waiting to attend a funeral feast?
Killing the other party would cause a whole load of trouble and draw the targeting of the Hall of Souls, while staying behind would only disgust himself.
Then, aside from running away before the other party could open his mouth to state his purpose, did he have any better alternative?
After shaking off the Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun, Cha Luo, Xiao Lin himself could not help but admire his own wit!
