But just then.
The young man stopped Lin Xuan.
"You've already confirmed that these black flames can burn souls, so why are you still refusing to give up?"
The young man frowned as he spoke.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly. "I don't think that's the true nature of the black flames. They aren't burning my soul—they're absorbing it."
The young man's brows furrowed even deeper. "How is that possible? What happened just now was clearly the appearance of a soul burning. How could they possibly absorb your soul?"
The young man did not believe Lin Xuan. Besides, he felt that if Lin Xuan continued like this, it would be extremely detrimental to him.
That was why the young man stopped Lin Xuan. He did not want Lin Xuan to continue placing his soul inside the black flames.
After all, soul power was extremely difficult to restore. Although Lin Xuan's foundation was very powerful, recovering it would still be incredibly difficult.
If Lin Xuan expended too much soul power at this moment, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him.
The young man did not want Lin Xuan to waste such crucial power on something pointless.
Lin Xuan looked at the young man and said with a smile, "Trust me!"
Those three simple words from Lin Xuan moved the young man deeply.
At this moment, a troubled expression also appeared on the young man's face. To be honest, he really did want to let Lin Xuan give it a try.
But after thinking it over carefully, he was afraid that something might happen to Lin Xuan. After all, Lin Xuan was the only person who had ever reached this place.
Moreover, the strength and mentality Lin Xuan had displayed while passing through the Nine-layered Palace were both qualities the young man admired greatly.
