"Oh? What is Brother Lin saying? Are you saying that I have a hidden agenda? " Yan Danqing was still as gentle and elegant as ever. Lin Xiao's words did not seem to stir any of his emotions.
Lin Xiao shook his head, not saying anything in the end. Although each of their actions would result in a large amount of killing, he had to admit that his strength was also increasing rapidly. He was becoming more and more adept at dealing with enemies.
"Hush, hiss, hiss. Are you going or not? If not, Yan Danqing and I will go." Mo Ming glanced at the other three people. Through the mask, he could see the impatience in their eyes.
When Shi Que heard this, he coldly snorted and said with some dissatisfaction, "Did you eat gunpowder, or did you say your uncle is here?"
On the other side, Ju Xian also looked at Mo Ming with a furious expression, the anger in his eyes not diminishing in the slightest.
Although the six of them didn't have a good relationship with each other back then, they wouldn't be as hostile towards each other as they were now.
Right now, their tempers had become irritable and irritable. Lin Xiao was sure that if it wasn't for the large number of people in the city, Mo Ming and Shi Que would have definitely started fighting.
Everyone, don't be impatient. Our goal this time is to cultivate, and we only have one last step left to go, and that is to leave everyone alone. After the Tong Xin Sect is done, we won't act anymore and will wait for the Demon Burying Valley's trial to begin.
Finally, the group made their move. Since it was the last journey, they might as well finish it. However, the atmosphere on the way was very quiet and no one said a word.
Each of them separated from the others as well. The Ancient Heavenly Serpent was currently on the body of the Ascendant. Now that their relationship had become like this, the Ancient Heavenly Serpent's ownership would definitely be in dispute.
However, the Ju Chen siblings did not have the intention of handing over the Ancient Heavenly Snakes.
The entire journey was silent. Lin Xiao felt a little stuffy. She wanted to take off her mask, but found that because of the blood that splashed onto it during the battle, it actually stuck to her face.
Lin Xiao gnashed his teeth as he tore at the mask, finally removing the latter from his face.
He looked at the mask and found that it was still covered with the torn flesh from his face.
Lin Xiao cursed in his heart as he used his spirit essence to heal the injuries on his face. He used the mask as a fan and finally a cool breeze blew past him.
"Hmm?"
He suddenly stopped and looked at the mask again. There was a small green light source inside the mask. It was only the size of a cherry. Moreover, it was embedded in the mask but he had not noticed it.
This thing... Lin Xiao took out the light source. He could feel a weak soul force from the light source. Although it was very small, it caused Lin Xiao's heart to tremble. He suddenly raised his head to look at Yan Danzhi's back, seeming to have some profound meaning.
He put the light source into the ring, and in that instant, the mask seemed to have lost its spirit, as if it was a dead thing.
Lin Xiao opened his phone and contacted Ye Qing. He needed to confirm a few things.
"Ye Qing, do you have a living mask?"
Lin Xiao's question was extremely bizarre. After a long time, Ye Qing finally replied that he had not. Presumably, the latter was also stunned for a long time.
"How can a mask be alive? But there is something similar to a mask."
Ye Qing's voice changed, causing Lin Xiao's eyes to light up once again. She hurriedly asked, "What creature is that?"
"The Human-Faced Demon."
Indeed. Lin Xiao took a deep breath. When he saw the light source, he thought of the Human-Faced Ghost Witch. His impression of the Human-Faced Ghost Witch was very deep. It was like a human's face. After a Human-Faced Ghost Witch died, it would turn into a green light source.
"To be exact, it is a Human-Faced Demon's true form. A Human-Faced Demon would harden and take the form of a mask, but in reality, there is still life."
Ye Qing's detailed explanation gave Lin Xiao goosebumps. It seemed that he had been wearing a living creature on his back the entire way.
He continuously thought about the scene where he experienced the Human-Faced Ghost Witch in the cave of the Domain of the Falling Stars. He wanted to crush the mask in his hands.
Why would Yan Danqing wear such a thing on him, or did she say that he didn't know?
"Ye Qing, help me look at this."
Lin Xiao took off his mask and sent it to Ye Qing, then nervously waited for a reply. He was already sure that Yan Danzhi had other intentions.
He examined his body and did not discover any changes. However, he felt that he was not used to it after he took off the mask.
As Lin Xiao was thinking, his phone began to vibrate. Ye Qing replied.
"I showed the picture to grandpa, and grandpa said that this Human-Faced Demon was at the ancestral rank. Looking at the patterns on it, it was the battle markings of ancient times, and they could move the great Dao. Do you know about the formation of Human-Faced Demons? "
Human-faced Ghosts were formed from the resentful aura of dead cultivators, which strengthened their bodies by absorbing the souls that roamed the battlefield. Due to the memory fragments that contained the souls of his previous life, the human-faced ghoul's mask would show signs of being related to another person. Someone had once seen a human-faced ghoul's face as an old friend.
Lin Xiao was clear on this point. Moreover, once a Human-Faced Ghost was fully formed, unless the green light within the mask was exhausted, it would not die.
"The Human-Faced Ghost Maguspriest Body doesn't have any killing power, but if you keep it by your side for a long time, it will affect the minds of others, and there are even some sects that use Human-Faced Ghost Maguspriest Body to train their disciples' minds. "Lin Xiao, the Human-Faced Demon Witch in your hands was born from the ancient era, but fortunately, the green light source is already withered, otherwise your mind would have been in chaos."
Lin Xiao glanced at the Human-Faced Demon. The green light source did not wither, but rather was kept in his ring. This meant that his mind had been affected, but he did not feel any change at all.
"Father, your killing intent is even stronger now." Lin Jian sensed his father's confusion. As a spectator, his words woke him up.
Lin Xiao raised his head to look at Shi Que, Mo Ming and Ju Xian. If the three of them had changed the most, Shi Que was the one who had changed the most, he was stable and did not say much, he hid anything in his heart and was a very shrewd person, while Ju Xian was a woman who always treated people with a charming smile.
However, at this moment, the three of them were speaking without restraint. What they were thinking in their hearts appeared on the surface. Furthermore, they were becoming more and more irritable and bloodthirsty. Especially Mo Ming, the dark side of his heart had been completely triggered by the Human-faced Ghostblade.
Was it Yan Danzhi's intention to make the Human-Faced Ghost Witch affect their minds?
Lin Xiao and Yan Danqing killed the least, so the two of them were also affected the least, and still maintained their true nature.
Lu Chen had obviously killed quite a few people, but his state of mind hadn't changed much either. Could he have also detected Ni Duan, or did he have a treasure that allowed him to calm down and meditate?
Lin Xiao rubbed his chin, quietly moving closer to Shi Que. He needed help, otherwise if Yan Danzhi really did have a hand in this, then they would have no choice but to surrender.
