The underworld.

When they were in Ancient Demon City, Lin Xiao and Mu Qi had seen a pair of killers from the underworld killing Yan Dan Qing. However, didn't Xiao Qi say that this assassination organization was very high-profile, why did they assassinate him now?

"Those who are targeted by Nine Netherworld will all die, and even the mighty ones will perish. A supreme expert once died by Nine Netherworld, which is how they gained their fame."

It was said that there was an almighty in the underworld of the Yellow Springs. Who would dare to provoke a high-leveled assassin?

Therefore, even if the assassins of the Underworld Nine Hell were to have a high profile and failed the assassination, the choice they made was for them to leave. The almighty figure of the underworld intimidated the world of cultivators.

Another reason was that of the way underworld behaved – it would not stop until one side died.

If the target didn't die, then they wouldn't let it go. There was once a person who escaped from the pursuit of Netherworld Nine Serenities for more than twenty years, and at every moment, he had to be on guard against sneak attacks from assassins.

In the end, this person died by his own hands in front of the entrance to the underworld mountain, ending his life that was worse than death.

Lin Xiao was not at all calm. Didn't this mean that he would have no choice but to die with Huang Quan and Jiu You? You want to let the killer leave when the assassination failed? He wasn't that kind, not being bloodthirsty and being compassionate were two different things.

"We have to be careful next." Under Shi Que's reminder, Lin Xiao nodded his head. He was thinking about who would bribe an assassin from the underworld to assassinate him.

The Fang family was probably the only one who would do so. He did not offend anyone from the other powers, so there was no reason for him to hire River Styx Jiu You to assassinate him.

"Fang Clan. Sooner or later, I'll pay a visit to them." Lin Xiao grit his teeth, opposing him several times. He had even tried to harm the Yu Shui Clan, not even putting him in their eyes.

The next day, Lin Xiao felt a real sense of anxiety and trepidation.

He and Shi Que had arrived at the Demon Region's Mountain Phoenix City halfway through their journey and had taken about four to five hours. In these four to five hours, he had been ambushed and killed five times, and was always caught off guard.

The last time was after they had arrived at Mountain Phoenix City. When they were resting in an inn, the assassin openly entered in cloth clothing. His face was a little blurry and illusory.

Fortunately, at that time, Lin Xiao had noticed that this ordinary person, who seemed to be hiding his true appearance with demonic essence, had accidentally moved to his side and dodged. In the next second, the table and chairs at his position were broken, and that person in cloth clothing had already left the inn.

Even in a crowded place, the Underworld Assassin still acted without restraint. This truly annoyed Lin Xiao. His mind was tight and he didn't dare to relax.

The people in the inn were not surprised by this as there were too many people who were being targeted by assassins or enemies. This was the life of a cultivator, especially a rogue cultivator who had no backing and dared not offend others.

And now, there was no power that stood behind Lin Xiao to support him. Moreover, he even dared to kill a Supreme Elder of the underworld.

He was only a middle Xuan class warrior now, so the assassins he had sent out were only at this stage. If he had sent out a higher rank killer, he would have died a long time ago.

Was he being used as a whetstone for their sect's assassins?

Lin Xiao decided that in the future, he would definitely make Huang Quan and Jiu You pay the price!

After entering the Demon Burying Valley, he didn't believe that the assassin would follow him. Only the top one hundred elites of the young generation of each region had the right to enter.

There was no lack of competitors for the Demon Burying Valley Trial within the inn. From their discussion, Lin Xiao grasped a lot of information.

He originally thought that the Demon Burying Valley's Trial was held in the Demon Area, but in reality, it was not. In reality, it was a trial held in the Demon Entering Court. The Demon Burying Valley also existed in another space, and the entrance was in the Thousand Monster Garden.

Lin Xiao now understood a little bit about the alternate space. She knew that the larger the alternate space, the smaller the alternate space, and the more advanced the alternate space.

The Thousand Monster Court was in a different space, while the Demon Burying Valley was in a different space.

"I heard that all eight of the eight demons will be coming for this exam."

Lin Xiao saw that the others were not talking about the Eight Demons with a simple sentence, so he could only ask who the Eight Demons were. The latter made a silent hand gesture and said in a low voice.

"The eight demons are the strongest experts selected from every single demon region in this generation. If nothing goes wrong, the future eight demon generals will be the candidates for the next eight generals."

Lin Xiao was shocked. After understanding the origins of the eight generals, he was once again unsure of how to fulfill his promise to the lord of the water lake.

The eight generals were chosen from the eight strongest generals of the eight great demon regions, yet they were able to emerge from the first region. This was a testament to their strength, but how could he kill these eight generals?

"Shi Que, do you know who the current generation's eight demons are?"

When Shi Que mentioned the eight demons, a trace of admiration appeared on his face. He said, "Not everyone knows. The strongest in our Sky Demon Region is Yan San, the strongest in the Earth Demon Region is Long Dan Yuan, and the strongest in the Nether Demon Region is Hao."

Yan San, Lin Xiao knows of this person. When the Heavenly Demon Region's Top 100 Trial opened, he was the first to register. With this self-confidence, he would definitely have good skills.

"Yan San is not the number one of the top hundred." Lin Xiao clearly remembered that Yan San was ranked in the top five, not the first.

"But Yan San is indeed the best among all of us. Strictly speaking, he is not of the same generation as us. He is a person from a thousand years ago, and he was reborn into a dead ordinary person by using the method of reincarnation."

Another kind of rebirth?!

Lin Xiao was once again shocked speechless. Wouldn't that mean that he could achieve eternity? Would he be able to use this reincarnation technique to achieve an alternative Immortal Ascension?

As if he had seen through Lin Xiao's thoughts, Shi Que then told him that there was a price to be paid for the method to reincarnate, and that was the strength and the bone root of a supreme expert. This meant that even if one's physique was superb, one's body had no chance even after ten thousand years, and as long as one used the method to reincarnate, one would only be an ordinary person.

Besides, he could only use it once if he had a high energy level.

Yan San was worthy of his title of first ranker. He had stepped onto the path of immortality with his mortal body, and now he had once again made a name for himself. He was truly worthy of respect.

He had never heard of the Earth Demon Region's Dragon Core Yuan, nor had he heard of the Nether Demon Region's Hao Zhan. However, he clearly remembered those old men from the Nether Demon Region.

Lin Xiao only hoped that Hao Zhan would draw a clear line between him and those old men and not work with them. If the old man took advantage of Hao Zhan to obstruct him in the Demon Burying Valley, then he could only choose a dead end.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao and Shi Que returned to the guest room to rest. The original group of six only had two people left, and the pressure had increased quite a bit. Tomorrow, they would enter the Demon Burying Valley.

However, what Shi Que did not understand was that the 'nourishing and storing energy' that Lin Xiao had mentioned was just drawing array diagrams? He was drawing a mysterious array diagram on the floor of the guest room. Shi Que didn't have much knowledge on formations, but he could still tell that this was a transmission array diagram.

Then, Lin Xiao fiddled with her phone for a long time before starting up the array. As the light filled the room, a white light flashed and a scroll appeared on the array.

Shi Que nodded his head. It seemed that this scroll was Lin Xiao's trump card. Seeing the latter put the scroll back into his spatial ring so excitedly, Shi Que could only guess.
