In the void in front of the city, Lin Xiao’s gaze swept around the surroundings. Inwardly shocked, he thought, “Could it be an early eighth-grade spirit controller?”
Such powerful divine sense, nearly causing him to collapse in an instant, should not come from a spirit controller below high seventh-grade.
However, he discovered nothing in the surroundings.
Finally, Lin Xiao turned his gaze towards Linghuang Valley. He had guessed it might be the valley master of Linghuang Valley acting.
But Lin Xiao shook his head secretly again.
The valley master of Linghuang Valley was only a high seventh-grade spirit controller. His spirit power strength was roughly equivalent to a mid seventh-grade spirit controller. His divine sense should be about that level of strength. Even if the opponent was one grade higher, it should not reach the point of nearly losing control in an instant.
That divine sense was too terrifying. The one who acted should not be the valley master of Linghuang Valley.
At this point, Lin Xiao finally sensed the extraordinary danger.
This place gathered too many high-grade spirit controllers. Even if geniuses like them were monstrous, they could still be controlled as slaves by others.
Once turned into a slave, no matter how monstrous the genius, they would only make wedding clothes for others. Life and death controlled by another’s hand.
Lin Xiao now understood why Nan Mu Ling, the fourth young master of the Wang family, and others did not appear.
Besides exposing their strength, they probably feared being enslaved.
Although spirit controllers could only control one slave.
But if the talent was truly too monstrous, even an eighth-grade spirit controller enslaving a junior genius would be worth it.
Who knew how many of those exposed top geniuses from the eight states had become slaves to spirit controllers.
A gathering place for spirit controllers was indeed sinister.
“Wang Qi and the others, could they have been enslaved too?” Lin Xiao suddenly thought, a chill running through him.
However, from Wang Qi’s behaviour, there was no abnormality. With Wang Qi’s strength, seventh-grade spirit controllers should no longer be able to enslave him. Eighth-grade spirit controllers probably would not bother enslaving Wang Qi.
After all, Wang Qi was not the most domineering genius of this age among the eight states.
“Could Wang Qi have deliberately hidden his strength and lost to Xiao Zihao because he feared enslavement?” Lin Xiao could not help but wonder.
However, in that instant, Lin Xiao felt another divine sense surge into his mind.
Lin Xiao was furious. Fortunately, this divine sense was far less powerful than the previous one and was instantly incinerated by his spirit energy.
“It should be a high seventh-grade spirit controller!” Lin Xiao glared viciously towards Linghuang Valley.
In the Linghuang Valley crowd, valley master Murong Jin was startled inwardly. She thought, “As expected, enslavement failed. Why is he looking this way? Could he know it was me?”
Though shocked inwardly, Murong Jin forced composure on her face. Anyway, enslavement and control could not be proven by anyone.
Among the onlookers, she was not the only spirit controller.
And as Lin Xiao glared fiercely, several more divine senses surged into his mind simultaneously.
“Damn it!” Lin Xiao felt the urge to kill. So many spirit controllers had acted against him.
Fortunately, his spirit energy surged violently, incinerating all the divine senses.
Lin Xiao could roughly judge that these later divine senses were all at high seventh-grade spirit power realm, far less powerful than the first one.
As for weaker ones, they probably dared not easily act against someone like him who could sweep below Martial Saint realm.
However, this kind of undetectable enslavement meant Lin Xiao could not drag the culprits out. This was what infuriated him.
Moreover, it all happened in an instant. Others were completely unaware.
“This place is not safe to linger!”
Lin Xiao sped up and flew directly into Lingnan City, returning to the inn.
“Divine sense too strong. Cannot enslave!” Near the Ji family crowd, someone transmitted via divine sense to a Ji family elder.
“This fellow’s divine sense is indeed very strong. Cannot enslave.” In the shadows, some seventh-grade high spirit controllers under fifty shook their heads secretly and left the area.
“This fellow either has already been controlled by an eighth-grade spirit controller or has excessively strong divine sense and cannot be controlled. Must not provoke in the future!” Some spirit controllers left with some fear.
“Good thing he has spirit energy. Otherwise, being this high-profile, he would have long been enslaved!” In another place, a woman beautiful enough to shake the mortal world thought secretly.
Then, she brought the elder beside her and slipped into Lingnan City.
Inside Lingnan City.
Wang Qi walked over to Lin Xiao. Seeing Lin Xiao’s somewhat tense expression, he asked in surprise, “Brother Lin, did something happen?”
“Enslavement. Many spirit controllers acted against me. Among them might be an early eighth-grade spirit controller. Fortunately, I have a secret method and blocked it.” Lin Xiao replied.
“An early eighth-grade spirit controller acted?” Wang Qi was greatly shocked, “Those who can have eighth-grade spirit controllers are probably only the Dantai family and Spirit Pool Island…”
At this point, Wang Qi stopped and breathed a huge sigh of relief for Lin Xiao, “Good that Brother Lin blocked it. Otherwise, it would be big trouble.”
“A tall tree catches the wind. Brother Lin, be careful in the future.” Wang Qi reminded.
Lin Xiao nodded and replied, “Brother Wang, you too be careful.”
At this moment, outside the inn gate.
A white-skirted woman approached with an elder.
Seeing the woman’s appearance, the two Wang family Martial Emperors and two inn attendants outside were stunned. When the two drew near, the four recovered. The two attendants quickly smiled and welcomed, “May I ask what business the two have with the Wang family? Please allow us to report.”
They could tell these two were extraordinary. The woman’s beauty, unnatural appearance, and innate temperament were not something ordinary people could possess.
However, before the two could speak, an aged voice came from inside the inn, “Friends from Spirit Pool Island have come. Forgive this Wang for not welcoming from afar.”
Immediately after, the figure of Wang family Grand Elder Wang Xizhi appeared in everyone’s sight.
The two attendants and Wang family Martial Emperors were all shocked.
These two were actually from Spirit Pool Island?
What status did they hold in Spirit Pool Island to alarm even the Wang family Grand Elder?
“Grand Elder Wang is too polite. This visit is to disturb and simply to visit a friend, Mu Haoran!” the white-skirted woman said quite politely.
“Young friend Mu Haoran is inside the inn. Miss, please.” Wang Xizhi glanced at the middle-aged Martial Emperor from the Wang family beside him and said, “Lead the miss to find Mu Haoran!”
The middle-aged Martial Emperor quickly nodded and obsequiously walked ahead.
Wang Xizhi’s gaze fixed on the elder figure beside the white-skirted woman.
“Many thanks, Grand Elder Wang.” The woman thanked him and walked towards the inn. The elder beside her followed expressionlessly behind.
“Spirit Pool Island is truly a place that inspires fear!” After watching the two enter the inn, Wang Xizhi said with lingering apprehension.
At this moment, in a quiet separate courtyard, after sending Wang Qi and the others away, Lin Xiao was about to rest when a middle-aged man’s voice suddenly came, “Brother Mu, guests from Spirit Pool Island have come to visit!”
“People from Spirit Pool Island?” Lin Xiao was startled and quickly walked out of the room.
