Because he knew that Luo Ling would never walk into Dongguo Town with his true face, Lin Xiao didn't know how to describe Luo Ling's appearance to the shopkeeper of Qinghong Inn.

Before leaving Donghuang City, Lin Xiao and Luo Ling made an agreement that whoever arrived in Dongguo Town first would leave a mark on the back of an old tree outside the town. Lin Xiao went to see it before entering Dongguo Town, and the mark was clearly engraved.

On the tree, this proves that Luo Ling has arrived in Dongguo Town before him.

Lin Xiao just thought that Luo Ling saw that he was late and was bored so he went out to relax. All he could do now was wait at Qinghong Inn.

The moment he walked into Qinghong Inn, he used his spiritual sense to check that there was no scent of Luo Ling in the inn. Then he used his spiritual sense to scan the entire town, but still did not find Luo Ling.

Although Luo Ling can change her appearance, her aura cannot. As long as she is here, it is impossible to hide it from Lin Xiao's spiritual consciousness.

Just like that, Lin Xiao ordered a bottle of wine and sat in the lobby from just after noon until late at night. The innkeeper said three times that it was closing, but there was still no sign of Luo Ling.

In desperation, Lin Xiao had to find a room to stay in and prepared to wait another night.

After all, he and Luo Ling lived under the same roof in Donghuang City for more than half a month. As long as there was nothing particularly important, Luo Ling would go home to practice as soon as dark.

Logically speaking, even if Luo Ling went out to relax, she should have returned by now. Although she was a little confused, Lin Xiao still chose to wait one night. After all, with Luo Ling's strength, there were not many people who could threaten her.

Lin Xiao did not sleep at night, but kept practicing to become familiar with the power of Tongxuan Realm.

After finishing the practice, it was almost dawn, and Lin Xiao simply entered the void space.

As soon as he entered, he saw Dugu sitting with her back to him. Dugu clearly knew that he was coming, but she had no intention of talking to him.

"teacher……"

"Don't call me teacher, you coward." Dugu said, obviously he was still angry about Lin Xiao's blocking of external perception on the top of the snowy mountain.

"Teacher, you are such a heroic figure. You don't have the habit of peeking into other people's private lives."

"Humph, I hate iron but don't want it to become steel. I'm afraid that you, a lump in the elm, won't be able to understand."

Seeing that Dugu was not calm, Lin Xiao had no choice but to deflect the conflict. He said: "You told me that wielding a sword is very simple and you can just let nature take its course. That made me almost fall out of the sky and turn into a piece of meat."

"This..." Dugu Shi obviously didn't expect that Lin Xiao, a silly boy, actually believed the exaggerated joke she casually said. But after all, because he almost caused serious consequences, Dugu Shi just gave up on it.

"What are you doing here?" Dugu asked.

Lin Xiao walked towards the Taixu Divine Tower and said: "The student has already reached the Tongxuan realm. I want to see if he can enter the second level."

"Go and try it. If you don't try it yourself, you don't know how weak you are."

Lin Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to the crowds from the Dugu family, and walked directly into Wanfa Pavilion and came to the door of the second floor.

I remember the last time I tried to push the door, my hand was bounced away by the force of the barrier as soon as I put it on the door. I didn't even have a chance to try. But now Lin Xiao is no longer what he used to be. This time, he is full of confidence.

Come here, you will break through the barrier and take a look at the scenery on the second floor.

Lin Xiao concentrated his attention, used his energy, and took action in one go.

He slapped his palms on the door, and immediately the barrier on the door lit up with a ripple-like light.

At the beginning, Lin Xiao felt that his hands were stuck in the quagmire and it was difficult to move. But after a while, a huge force appeared on the barrier and tried to push him away.

"This is the power." Lin Xiao tried his best to fight against the barrier, and colorful beams of light shot out from the barrier, finally turning into a bright curtain of light.

Within the light curtain, Lin Xiao's body flew out again, but this time he was only shaken out of the tower and did not leave the etheric space directly.

Although the situation was much better than last time, Lin Xiao was not happy at all.

Compared with the last time he tried, his current strength can be said to have increased more than ten times, but the result was still a failure.

"How can we open this barrier?" Lin Xiao said with a slight complaint.

Dugu Shi walked over and looked at him with gloating eyes.

"Now you know that you are weak, right?" Dugu said with a smile, but then his expression became more serious, and he continued, "But you don't need to belittle yourself. The reason why you didn't climb to the second floor is because Taixu God Tower thinks that

With your current strength, obtaining the second level will be detrimental to the long term. When the time comes, the barrier will naturally disappear."

Lin Xiao was a little discouraged just now, but after hearing what Dugu said, he suddenly felt relieved and even a little excited.

Behind Dugu's words, it was revealed that Taixu Divine Tower had recognized his identity, and the reason why the barrier existed was for his long-term consideration.

When Dugu Shi saw the look in Lin Xiao's eyes, she knew that the instructions were in place, and waved her hand to let him leave the void space.

After Lin Xiao left, Dugu Shi looked at the Taixu God Tower and said: "Nominally speaking, he is your master. You have made the rules yourself. Why are you embarrassed? You have to explain it to me, an old man, by beating around the bush. It's really

It’s a waste of time, but having said that, when he breaks through to the Divine Sea Realm, it’s time to let him go up there, after all, that thing was originally left by me.”

After finishing the practice, Lin Xiao washed his face with cold water and continued to meditate for two hours. Until the hour passed, he still could not sense Luo Ling's breath.

Lin Xiao frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

Before leaving Donghuang City, Luo Ling had already made an appointment with him for this operation. With Luo Ling's character, since she had made her promise beforehand, she would not easily break her promise unless something happened in the meantime.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao thought of something. He hurried downstairs, found the shopkeeper, threw a few spiritual stones in front of him and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know if anything big has happened in the Soul Eater Sect these days?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he looked at the spirit stone. When he heard Lin Xiao's question, he naturally knew everything.

He thought for a while and said: "I heard that Dai Yishan, the leader of the Soul-Eating Sect, is going to attend the birthday banquet of the great elder of the Yinyue Sect in the past two days. It is said that in order to celebrate the birthday of the great elder, he tried his best to send the Soul-Eating Sect to the throne.

Zong’s precious soul-suppressing tree was sent as a whole as a birthday gift.”

"When did it happen?"

"The news started spreading about half a month ago. If the news is true, it will only be a day or two before Dai Yishan sets off."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he added: "Strange, a female guest officer also asked about the Soul Eater Sect two days ago."

"Where is she?" Lin Xiao slammed the table suddenly, almost scaring the shopkeeper to death.

"She...she...she left after hearing what I said."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, he realized that the person who was standing in front of him just now had disappeared.

A fierce sword energy soared into the sky, Lin Xiao stepped on the Dragon Sword and headed straight for the Soul Eater Sect.
