"Zhang Wuwei."
True Lord Tianhe gritted his teeth and shouted the name.
"This humble Taoist is here."
Zhang Wuwei nodded. Compared to True Lord Tianhe's loss of composure, Zhang Wuwei appeared very calm at this moment.
"We'll see!"
With that, True Lord Tianhe used his own domain to forcefully find an exit in the old Taoist's domain and disappeared.
Zhang Wuwei had no intention of stopping him. He squinted and retracted his domain.
This fellow Lin Xiao, truly unpredictable.
He actually took the initiative to offer one of his hands as an exchange?
If he hadn't appeared early enough, the consequences would have been dire.
Afterward, he glanced in the direction Lin Xiao had left, took a step, and in the next second, he had traversed several kilometers to Lin Xiao's side.
"Daoist Zhang, is there something you need?"
Facing Zhang Wuwei alone, Lin Xiao's body was taut, all his strength prepared. If there was the slightest sign of trouble, he was ready to fight to the death.
"Lin Xiao, there's no need to be so nervous. If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be alive now," Zhang Wuwei said, staring at Lin Xiao.
"I am aware of Daoist Zhang's strength, and it is indeed true. However, it is natural for me to remain vigilant." Lin Xiao harbored no good impression of Zhang Wuwei, let alone viewing him normally.
After all, he was the leader of the Shadow Assassins, his enemy.
"Now that True Lord Tianhe is temporarily gone, I will give you a piece of advice. Of course, you can choose to ignore it or not take it seriously." The old Taoist began to preach to himself. "Remember, if you go through with such a transaction, the outcome will be beyond your ability to bear."
"Are you telling me what to do?"
Lin Xiao said this verbally, but he had already taken the words to heart.
It was evident that if he hadn't mentioned such a transaction, this old Taoist wouldn't have suddenly appeared and driven True Lord Tianhe away.
Shadow Assassins, cultivators, and that Shadow – he felt these were three different factions, each with their own hidden agendas.
"My words are finished."
Zhang Wuwei truly felt he had nothing more to say to Lin Xiao. This kid, for all his flaws, had a sharp tongue.
He even suspected that Lin Xiao had guessed something, otherwise, he wouldn't have said something that compelled him to intervene.
After uttering these four words, he left.
Lin Xiao watched the spot where Zhang Wuwei disappeared and remained silent for a moment.
It was becoming more and more complicated, and for the first time, he felt a slight sense of powerlessness.
People at this level were more troublesome than storming the White House in America.
If he didn't have the confidence he had now... he would have died hundreds of times over.
Was his flesh like the flesh of Tang Monk?
Lin Xiao looked at his hand. If that was the case, then perhaps Xun'er was also a tempting prize in the eyes of these people.
...
"This brat." Zhang Wuwei chuckled, concealed within the shadows. From that day on, he had actually been following Lin Xiao to Shashi and observing him in secret.
He could sense a sliver of powerlessness from Lin Xiao during the recent transaction.
The opponent was a cultivator, an existence far superior to him. Currently, Lin Xiao didn't even have the ability to retaliate. If it weren't for the blessings of luck, he wouldn't even have the capital to converse with True Lord Tianhe.
