When Lin Xiao woke up again, he was in a guest room at the dojo.
He wanted to sit up in bed, but after moving a little, he gave up.
It wasn't that he didn't want to get up, but it was clear that in his current state, he wouldn't be able to. The slightest movement made him feel like he was about to fall apart.
"You've only rested for less than four hours, and it's not even dark outside yet. You want to get up already?"
The old Taoist's voice entered his mind. The old Taoist walked into the room.
Lin Xiao could only lie quietly in bed, looking at the old Taoist.
"Lin Xiao, there are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens. You should know this."
"I know."
Lin Xiao found that when he spoke, he no longer felt that tearing pain. His muscles seemed to have recovered quite a bit, but he could still clearly feel his body's weakness.
"Now, kill me or cut me up as you please." Lin Xiao understood his current situation clearly, but his goal had never changed. He stared at the old Taoist, "If you don't find number thirty-seven, he won't stop."
The old Taoist squinted, staring at Lin Xiao. This kid was truly obstinate.
His killing intent flickered. If Lin Xiao were allowed to cause trouble in his headquarters, wouldn't his Shadow Assassins become a laughingstock?
For the secular world, they had nothing to worry about. But if the people of the Shadow knew their assassins were so disgraced, he feared he would be subjected to much ridicule.
This must be a huge problem caused by someone within the Shadow!
"Heal your injuries and go down the mountain."
He didn't want to bother with Lin Xiao any further. With a wave of his hand, he sealed the acupoints on Lin Xiao's body, preventing him from using his spiritual energy.
Lin Xiao, with only his True Dragon Qi, was not someone the Shenjing could covet.
After doing this, the old Taoist left, leaving Lin Xiao alone in the room.
This old Taoist, the old Taoist from that day, and that Shadow, none of them were ordinary people.
Before, he hadn't encountered anyone beyond the Divine Realm. Now he understood, it was highly likely that the old Taoist who divined for him that day was also a being beyond the Divine Realm.
Since they were all Taoists, would they have some connection to the Old Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Sect?
Once he was out, he would pay a visit to the Heavenly Master Sect and meet the Old Heavenly Master.
As for now...
He reported his approximate situation to his superiors, including his injuries and his actual encounter with the Shadow Assassins.
This greatly shocked the Dragon Lord.
Lin Xiao had truly risked his life to charge alone into the territory of the Shadow Assassins and fight against a powerhouse beyond the Divine Realm.
Only Lin Xiao could pull off such an absurd feat.
"Lin Xiao! No matter what, you need to come back now! Since this senior didn't kill you, you'll have plenty of time to plan later. It's not too late to deal with the Shadow Assassins after your strength is sufficient!" the Dragon Lord said sternly.
He was genuinely afraid that Lin Xiao would die prematurely. To be precise, this wouldn't even be dying prematurely; it would be Lin Xiao actively seeking death.
Fortunately, the other party didn't want to kill him and even gave him a chance.
Although, as the Dragon Lord, he didn't understand why the Shadow Assassins were unwilling to act against a prodigy. Or perhaps, they were actually working for the entire Dragon Country in secret?
