Only with this seal could Su Lin suppress his anger and refrain from reacting to the three men's arrogance.

He was confident he could kill two people, and the last one might be able to join forces with Li Xingtian to fight against him, which would give him a better chance of winning, but that was obviously not worth it.

If she acts impulsively, Xiao Linlin's entire plan will inevitably collapse, and the entire game mission and progress will suffer a devastating blow.

Su Lin is no longer the same as before. Although he is arrogant, he is not blind and knows the importance of forbearance.

More than the uninvited guests from Tian Shu, Su Lin was puzzled as to what method Li Xingtian had used to scare away the three people.

Li Xingtian seemed to notice Su Lin's gaze, met his eyes, and smiled wryly: "These three cowards can't even see through my background, yet they want to play the tiger. They're just pawns, don't take them seriously."

"Grandmaster, how did you do that? I couldn't even see through the cultivation level of one of them."

"You are still a novice in the path, and there is much for you to learn."

Li Xingtian said calmly, "I have lived for so long and created many unique techniques. Although they are not great arts, they are enough to fool those who have never seen the world."

Li Xingtian was skilled at creating his own techniques, and he used unorthodox methods to deceive local cultivators who had never seen such techniques before.

Su Lin nodded in understanding, but then realized something was amiss: My cultivation is still shallow, but you, Grandmaster, haven't been cultivating for very long either! You entered the Dao later than I have!

As expected, I am still far behind and need to work harder to catch up with my master.

"The people from Tian Shu arrived much faster than I expected."

Xiao Linlin muttered to herself, then quickly came to Su Lin's side and asked softly, "Brother, it's good that you held back just now. We're not in the mood to go against Tian Shu right now... Even the little pawn searching the desolate places has a cultivation level that you can't see through. You can imagine how many monster cultivators there are in the Immortal Sect."

"I understand, I won't do anything reckless."

Su Lin nodded, looked down at her and asked, "Judging from the way that person left, he seemed quite resentful. Given Tian Shu's power in this area, if things aren't resolved, more people will probably come."

"At that time, even stronger opponents will likely arrive."

Su Lin frowned. Although things hadn't gotten any worse today, the future was uncertain.

He estimated that Tian Shu would definitely send someone again within half a month at most.

If the other party really wants to investigate thoroughly at Xiaoyun Temple, that's fine. But if they can't find anything, and insist on seizing some resources or kidnapping a few disciples out of a sense of not leaving empty-handed, that's not impossible.

Because that's exactly what Tian Shu does: seize resources from minor sects under various pretexts to realize the eternal principle that the strong get stronger.

Su Lin could tolerate this once, but she absolutely could not tolerate it next time.

After all, if he continues to endure, how will the survivors in the newly formed team view him?

Is someone who is ranked number one on the leaderboard, yet is repeatedly pressured by NPCs and has no way to deal with it, still worth following?

If it really comes to this, Su Lin will most likely be forced to take action, and taking action would put him on the opposite side of Tian Shu, which is equivalent to making an enemy of all the cultivators in this world of competition... This situation seems to have led to a dead end.
