"The Spatial Trade Fair, I see, sorry to trouble the three of you, I will definitely attend when the time comes!"
Knowing the background of the three people, and understanding the reason why they came looking for him, Xiao Lin naturally did not refuse.
In fact, Xiao Lin was quite willing!
One must know, the Spatial Trade Fair was the largest and most top-tier auction in the entire Central Plains. In the Spatial Trade Fair, basically there was only what you couldn't think of, and nothing you couldn't find.
As for the final piece of artifact-refining material that Xiao Lin was currently lacking, nine times out of ten, it would appear at the Spatial Trade Fair. Thinking up to this point, Xiao Lin's heart could not help but burn with anticipation.
Seeing Xiao Lin agree to participate in the once-a-decade Spatial Trade Fair one year from now, Yan Lu, Bei Fengyan, and Jian Xuan all smiled at the same time.
The more strong experts that came to the Spatial Trade Fair organized by the three hidden sects, the greater its reputation would be!
Therefore, every time before the Spatial Trade Fair began, the three hidden sects would send out their disciples to go all around and invite those strong experts to participate.
Because Xiao Lin stormed the Yellow Spring Pavilion not long ago and eventually forced the Yellow Spring Pavilion to close for ten years, he could be considered to have become famous in a single battle.
After his fame spread, he was naturally noticed by the three hidden sects.
Thus, today brought the matter of Yan Lu, Bei Fengyan, and Jian Xuan coming to invite him. If not for this incident, Xiao Lin would not have been qualified to be invited by the three hidden sects!
This could be counted as one benefit brought by fame. Subsequently, the three of them placed a token into Xiao Lin's hand. Whoever held this token would be able to enter that core zone of the Spatial Trade Fair.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin also put the token away.
"Mr. Lin Xiao, the token has been delivered, the three of us will not stay long, when the time comes, we shall await your grand arrival!"
After Xiao Lin put away the token, the three of them cupped their hands toward Xiao Lin and said.
"Hard work for the three of you to make this trip, please!"
After similarly cupping his hands to return the salute, Xiao Lin also smoothly escorted them out of this small courtyard.
After the three of them left, Xiao Lin returned to the room once again, remaining silent for a long time.
"The Spatial Trade Fair, does this count as sending a pillow right when one gets drowsy?"
Not knowing how much time had passed, Xiao Lin's laughter sounded.
"However, there's still a year, right? Then for this year's time, what should I do?"
In fact, if it were possible, Xiao Lin hoped that this Spatial Trade Fair would be held immediately.
But unfortunately, this was not something he could control. The strength of the three hidden sects was also not something that Xiao Lin could touch upon right now.
Although the three hidden sects were not prominent in fame across the Central Plains, anyone who happened to know about these three hidden sects would absolutely not dare to harbor the slightest thought of looking down on them!
One must know, the lowest condition to participate in the Spatial Trade Fair was the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Zong.
Xiao Lin remembered very clearly, the description of the Spatial Trade Fair in the original story had over a hundred Dou Zun powerhouses participating.
You tell me, if the three hidden sects didn't have a bit of strength, how could they suppress these hundred-plus Dou Zun powerhouses? Wouldn't the entire Spatial Trade Fair be torn apart in a matter of minutes!
Therefore, for the current Xiao Lin, the only choice was to wait. It wasn't that Xiao Lin hadn't thought about finding a place to first cultivate and increase his strength.
But he had just soared all the way from the Four-Star to Nine-Star Dou Zun not long ago, and during this period, the skyrocketing power couldn't even be said to be completely mastered yet, so he naturally wouldn't be so eager for quick success!
Besides, in a year's time, unless you had some kind of fortuitous opportunity, otherwise, wanting to make his strength as a Nine-Star Dou Zun increase once more was actually very difficult.
"Forget it, let's wait in this Zi Ji City for another three days, after three days, if there's nothing that catches my eye in Zi Ji City's auction, then..."
Thinking up to here, Xiao Lin already had a decision.
Very quickly, three days passed in a flash.
When Xiao Lin walked out from the auction venue of Zi Ji City, a look of disappointment hung on his face.
"Sigh, as expected there really wasn't any good stuff!"
Xiao Lin could not help but sigh, saying.
"It seems there really is no point in staying in this Zi Ji City anymore."
Shaking his head, Xiao Lin left Zi Ji City.
"Swish"
After walking out of Zi Ji City, Xiao Lin leaped and flew up into the sky.
With Xiao Lin's speed, Zi Ji City very quickly became invisible to his naked eye. Of course, with people coming and going in a city, Xiao Lin's departure naturally would not be given any special attention by anyone anyway.
"A year, it's not long if you say it's long, but it's not short if you say it's short, so I will first..."
Just as Xiao Lin was thinking this, the space not far in front of him suddenly warped.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin instantly pulled off an emergency brake!
At the same time, Xiao Lin also revealed a fully guarded expression.
This kind of method of warping space was something only powerhouses at the level of Dou Zun and above could pull off. Moreover, this spatial warp appeared exactly on the route of his forward flight, which was obviously done deliberately to intercept him!
In the wild, this was not a good sign at all.
After all, what normal, good person would intercept others like this on purpose?
"Jie jie jie~"
Sure enough, just as Xiao Lin halted his figure, a burst of laughter that made one's scalp tingle upon hearing it suddenly echoed out from that warped spatial tunnel.
In the Central Plains, coupled with this kind of trademark laughter, one didn't need to think too much, nine times out of ten it came from that specific force!
Xiao Lin was only stunned for an instant before he immediately reacted.
At the exact same time, Xiao Lin directly became as if facing a formidable enemy. He never expected in his wildest dreams that not long after he just left Zi Ji City, he would be targeted by this kind of filthy thing!
"Your Excellency Lin Xiao, I have heard of your grand name for a long time! This old man is the Hall of Souls' Sixth Tian Zun—Sha Luo!"
As that warped space gradually opened up, an old man whose face was completely covered in black spots walked out, leaning on a walking stick.
Hearing him report his own name, he was impressively the Tian Zun ranked sixth among the Nine Great Tian Zun of the Hall of Souls!
This identity, within the Hall of Souls, could absolutely be considered part of the higher echelon already. Xiao Lin never expected that he would actually come face-to-face with the Hall of Souls today.
"I really didn't look at the calendar before leaving the house!"
Xiao Lin could not help but secretly sigh in his heart.
Before he had fully developed his strength, Xiao Lin had actually done his utmost to avoid having any intersections with the Hall of Souls.
But he didn't expect that while the Yellow Spring Pavilion incident had allowed him to reap the Spatial Trade Fair invitation from the three hidden sects after his reputation soared.
It had similarly drawn the attention of this Hall of Souls, which was despised by everyone and everything in the Central Plains. One could only say, the benefits and the downsides truly came together all at once!
Xiao Lin felt a massive headache.
The main issue was that he was still just a weak Nine-Star Dou Zun right now, and he really didn't want to clash with a colossus of the Central Plains like the Hall of Souls!
Furthermore, the force behind the Hall of Souls was the greatest mastermind behind the scenes of the Dou Qi Continent—the Hun Clan!
That group of fools from the Gu Clan still thought their Gu Clan was currently the strongest among the Eight Ancient Clans.
Little did they know that the current strength of the Hun Clan had long since surpassed them. It was only because Hun Tiandi's injuries had not yet fully healed that the Hun Clan as a whole chose to remain in dormancy.
Once Hun Tiandi's injuries were completely healed, the Hun Clan would thoroughly bare their fangs.
