Unable to tell friend from foe, aside from Shi Luo Ke, there was no one else.
The first thing she said was "evil Soul Master." Heh, what a joke.
Lin did not even want to deal with these fools. He had no good impression of Shi Luo Ke at all. Even Huo Yuhao, who would later be there, was no good thing either.
Lin truly did not want any contact with the people of Shi Luo Ke.
Lin turned to leave.
The woman immediately stopped him. "Stop. Don't even think about leaving until you explain yourself."
Hearing that, Xiao Xiao smiled. Look, this was Shi Luo Ke.
"Heh, sure enough. This is Shi Luo Ke. Open your mouth and it's 'evil Soul Master'; open it again and you block the way."
Lin merely looked at the woman. He truly did not want to have too much involvement with Shi Luo Ke.
A Shi Luo Ke that bullied others and did not treat people as human was simply disgusting—utterly poisonous.
On the surface, they claimed not to participate in the strife between the various factions, yet whenever trouble arose, they would act righteous and stand up to stop it.
How disgusting. Enough already.
"Can I leave now?"
Lin spoke coldly and turned to go.
The next moment, the woman swiftly stepped in front of Lin and sized him up from head to toe.
Lin also looked at her. Her delicate features carried a trace of gentleness, and she did not seem arrogant simply because she was from Shi Luo Ke.
"You... do you want to join Shi Luo Ke?"
The woman directly extended an invitation. Since he was not an evil Soul Master, he could be invited to join Shi Luo Ke. His strength was not bad.
Lin shook his head. "I have no favorable impression of Shi Luo Ke."
After saying that, Lin turned to leave, but the woman stubbornly blocked his path.
Lin's expression turned cold. If she refused to move aside again, he would have Lao Yao come out and take care of her.
If he could not beat her, he could call someone, couldn't he?
The woman smiled. "As long as you explain clearly why you dislike Shi Luo Ke so much, I'll let you leave. How about it?"
She had truly lived long enough to see someone wanting to hear her own bad reputation.
"Heh, Shi Luo Ke has done so many disgusting things, and you need someone to tell you?"
"If you want to know, go investigate it yourself. Stop bothering me."
Lin truly did not want to waste any more words on these fools. They were genuinely wasting his time.
He still had to get a foothold in Shi Luo Ke in the future. If he did not focus on improving his strength now, how long would that take?
The more Lin spoke like that, the more interested the woman became. This was the first time she had encountered someone with such deep resentment toward Shi Luo Ke.
She would not be satisfied until she got to the bottom of it.
"Young man, if you don't explain yourself, I won't let you leave."
The woman was not afraid either. He was only a Great Soul Master. She had plenty of time to deal with him.
Lin was completely annoyed. Shi Luo Ke really was a nest of idiots.
Lao Yao knocked on his ring, and Lao Yao's voice immediately rang out. "Kid, how about I let you play with the Bone Chilling Cold Fire?"
Hearing that, Xiao Xiao was delighted. She immediately replied in her sea of consciousness, "Sure. As long as I don't need to use it, I can use it?"
Lin was somewhat worried. That thing was Bone Chilling Cold Fire. With his current strength, could he use it?
"You can't use it. You can only casually throw it out."
Lao Yao smiled faintly and said matter-of-factly.
Huh?
Just throw it out? That was not a problem. As long as it could hurt someone, that was enough.
"Fine!"
Lin did not care. As long as he could play with the Bone Chilling Cold Fire, it was fine, even if he could only throw it once.
The next moment, Bone Chilling Cold Fire appeared in Lin's hand, and Xiao Xiao gave a wicked smile.
Shi Luo Ke, this was the first time Bone Chilling Cold Fire would hurt someone. Using your aunt to test its power was really letting your aunt off easy.
Lin did not hesitate and directly threw it out.
The instant she saw the Bone Chilling Cold Fire, the woman froze, immediately releasing her martial soul.
Behind the woman, a full moon emerged, and the six yellow Soul Rings beneath it gave off a dazzling glow.
After throwing it out, Xiao Xiao finally saw the other party's martial soul and Soul Rings.
Moon, six rings, sixty-something years old—Shi Luo Ke!
Putting those three things together, aside from Gong Changwei, there was no one else.
Since the Bone Chilling Cold Fire had already been thrown, so be it. Gong Changwei could burn if she wanted to burn. She had blocked his way, after all.
"Damn it, what kind of flame is this?!"
Gong Changwei screamed miserably. Despair filled her heart. She had never imagined that she would die at the hands of a mere Great Soul Master. How laughable. Why had she stopped him in the first place?
The next moment, Lao Yao's voice rose. "Kid, run. A powerful one is coming."
Lin was furious. Why was everyone here a powerful expert?
Bone Chilling Cold Fire had already been taken back, but Gong Changwei had still been touched by it. Her entire arm had been scorched black.
"Gong Changwei, if you want to know about your origins, go to Sun Moon and find the ninth-ranked soul engineer, Kong Deming."
"Remember to investigate it in private."
After saying that, Lin turned and ran, without a shred of hesitation. Since he had not killed the other party, he would leave her with a lingering doubt. How wonderful.
Lin did not know whether this was true or false. So what? It sounded real. Even if it was false, it did not matter.
In less than a moment, a green figure appeared beside Gong Changwei, and a terrifying life force poured into her body.
"Changwei, what happened?"
The man stepped forward and looked at the arm that Bone Chilling Cold Fire had burned halfway through. His face was filled with grimness.
Fortunately, the owner of that flame had not truly mastered it. Otherwise, even he would have been unable to heal her.
Lin had merely casually thrown Bone Chilling Cold Fire out. It had relied only on the fire's instinctive ability to burn everything, and he had not controlled it at all.
Otherwise, how could it have merely lightly burned Gong Changwei?
"Elder, it was a Great Soul Master!" Gong Changwei gritted her teeth. She had never imagined that she would be defeated by a Great Soul Master.
If this middle-aged man had not arrived in time, she truly would have died. She had no way to extinguish that flame and could only let the other party burn her.
Gong Changwei's mind replayed Lin's words over and over. She had wanted to tell the man, but when the words reached her lips, she could not say them.
The other party had called out her name at the end, apparently because of her martial soul. Could it be that Kong Deming truly had some connection to her?
For a moment, Gong Changwei did not know what to do, nor did she tell anyone.
Since the other party could wound her, he would not disdain lying to her.
The man beside Gong Changwei was no ordinary person. He was the Sea God Pavilion's ninth elder, Mo Shulin. A Titled Douluo!
Hearing Gong Changwei's words, Mo Shulin found it somewhat hard to believe. But she was Shi Luo Ke's eldest young miss, Gong Changwei. There was no need for her to lie.
"What exactly happened?"
Mo Shulin looked at Gong Changwei and asked. His spiritual power swept around, but he did not find any Great Soul Master.
By then, Lin had already escaped under Lao Yao's cover. Naturally, he had not escaped Mo Shulin's spiritual detection range, but with Lao Yao present, the other party could not detect him at all.
Gong Changwei explained what had happened, but she did not mention Lin's final words or Xiao Xiao's dissatisfaction with Shi Luo Ke.
The more Mo Shulin listened, the less he believed it. In the end, suppressing his doubts, he slowly turned back and said to Mi En, "Let's go back first."
But Gong Changwei refused. "Elder, I won't go back just yet. I still have something to do."
Gong Changwei did not explain much. In her heart, she believed Lin's words somewhat. That strange flame and the powerful Soul Power that had appeared for an instant.
And he had called out her name at the end and knew Kong Deming.
The more Gong Changwei thought about it, the more flustered she became. What if things were really as the other party had said?
