As the two went deeper into the cave, the visibility became worse. Just as Lin Xiao was about to cast the Ethereal Flame, a faint light was emitted from the corner in front of them. Although it was very dark, it was very obvious in the dark cave.

"There's also a Ghostblade here!" Lin Xiao was startled. He didn't expect to see a Human-faced Ghostblade here again.

The green light fluctuated up and down. It was very attractive, but Lin Xiao, who had seen this before, knew that this green light was fatal. As long as a cultivator approached, the Human Faced Ghost Mage would press itself against his face and frantically absorb his soul force.

The two of them halted their steps. What should they do next? Leave or move forward …

"It won't be easy if there are too many Human-Faced Demons." Shi Que wanted to try it out. The spiritual medicines that he could detect with his horn were all extraordinary items, and were worth a try.

"Human-faced Ghost-Witch, this creature has been around since the ancient times. I still feel uneasy, let's retreat."

From the bottom of her heart, Lin Xiao felt that the Human-Faced Demon was not ordinary. It was a product of the battlefield, and the more souls and resentments that died, the more it would die.

It was not so much a new creature as a dead man who had survived in another way.

Lin Xiao was shocked by his own thoughts. However, he couldn't help but think this way about the matter of the Ancient God.

The ancient god wasn't some combination of spirits, and he was the only one with the will of the whole body of the Human-faced Gargamel.

In the end, the two of them chose to leave the cave. The human-faced ghost witch was beyond their knowledge and could not easily get into danger.

The two of them once again set foot on the road towards the middle of the Demon Burying Valley. However, Lin Xiao told Shi Que that the two of them might be separated at that time.

"Why?" Shi Que didn't understand. Wouldn't it be safer for the two of them to move together? It was better to take care of each other.

Lin Xiao did not explain and insisted on separating. There were some things that he could not let others know, even Shi Que could not do, and he was not afraid of Shi Que revealing it.

One had to know that most of the time, it wasn't because they wanted to keep it a secret, but because others wouldn't know about it.

Shi Que nodded his head helplessly. Most of the spirit beasts and elixirs that he had killed along the way, Lin Xiao had given most of them to Shi Que.

The closer they got to the Demon Burying Valley, the higher the rank of the spirit beasts they encountered. There were many spirit beasts guarding the area, which made it very difficult for them to gather spirit medicine.

"Snowfall, Wuhen, defeated the Earth Ranked Stone Spirit Sparrow. Achieved Unlocking the Earth Ranked Spirit Beast, 100 points awarded."

A ding sound rang out in the sky as a line of words appeared. Another person succeeded in unlocking it, and this time, it was Falling Snow Wu Hen from the Fallen Devil Region.

The next result was that Hao Zhan actually dropped to the 11th position, not even entering the top 10. Now, the first place belonged to Yan San, the second was still the Dragon Core, and the third was the Great Sun.

The only thing that did not change was that the top five of the rankings were still the eight demon tyrants. Lin Xiao was ranked 783 with five hundred points, while Shi Que was ranked 500 with eight hundred and fifty points.

It had to be said that the competition was fierce. Even the last place holder had over 200 points. Everyone's points were constantly changing.

"Hao Zhan should have been targeted." Shi Que thought deeply for a while, and only this could explain why Hao Zhan dropped out of the top ten.

"Are you saying that he was targeted by the other eight demons?" Lin Xiao nodded his head, this explanation made sense.

"It might not necessarily be the Eight Demon Beasts. The Eight Demon Beasts are the strongest on the surface, but there's no lack of dark horses. These people either keep a low profile or don't want to be the leader, but their strengths aren't necessarily weaker than the Eight Demon Beasts."

Eight hundred years ago, there was a man named Twin Wood who appeared out of nowhere and fought against the eight demons alone. Just when everyone thought that he would shine, Twin Wood chose to stay silent and disappeared from everyone's line of sight.

A single person fighting against eight demons? What level of combat prowess was that? In that era, there was a saying that a child should be like two logs. From this, one could see the sensation caused by two logs.

The two of them traveled for another three days, and soon, they could already see a huge rift in the distance.

Shi Que wanted to leave the horn with Lin Xiao, but he was declined by the latter. In the end, the two of them bowed to each other before walking away on their own.

After travelling for a while, Lin Xiao took out a map from his storage ring. This was the map of the Demon Burying Valley. Mu Qi spent a large price to get it, and the location of the Ice Spirit Flame was indicated on it.

One of the goals of his trip this time was to obtain the Ice Spirit Flame for Mu Qi. This was also the promise he had made to Xiao Qi half a year ago.

According to the map, the Demon Burying Valley intersected the east and the west side was where the Ice Spirit Flame was. The ice and snow there were piled up, the weather was cold, and there was even a thousand year old Profound Ice there.

Lin Xiao increased his speed and used the Divine King's Sword to travel. He quickly flew through the sky, and with such a show of strength, it quickly led to trouble.

"Little brother, leave behind your sword." A few people chased after him. This group of people were clearly in the same group.

Perhaps he had been recognized by someone in the outside world. In the outside world, he had been famous for possessing a mysterious greatsword, Silent Flame, and was also a companion of a Dragon Clan young girl. There were also many people who had ideas about his Divine King's Sword, and there were also people who were very interested in his Silent Flame.

"Lin Xiao, stop running. Hand over the great sword and you may leave."

That group of people clamored again. They were chasing after them with a precious gourd, and Lin Xiao couldn't get rid of them for now. However, if he let these grandsons continue to talk, then he would be targeted by even more people.

Lin Xiao was furious. It seemed that flying was out of the question. He could only hurry to the western part of the Demon Burying Valley from the ground. However, the most important thing was to get rid of this bunch of grandsons.

"Stop chasing your Grandpa Lin!" Lin Xiao took out a gourd from her ring, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

He still had a lot of mysterious water in his calabash that caused people to temporarily lose their power.

Lin Xiao opened the gourd and a mysterious pool of water surged out, forming a large number of water droplets that splashed onto the group of people.

When the group of people saw this, they immediately burst into laughter. They originally thought it was some powerful technique, but it was actually just some ordinary water. Was he afraid that they would be thirsty?

"Hahaha, Lin Xiao, thank you for your thoughtful service." Someone mocked Lin Xiao, but in the next moment, his smile froze.

The gourd beneath their feet stopped moving as it fell. The few people discovered with horror that they couldn't use their spirit essence. The inside of their bodies were deathly still. The spirit essence was obviously hiding within every inch of their flesh, but it was still unusable.

Lin Xiao did not turn back as he continued his journey. Behind him, there were a few screams and the sound of objects falling to the ground.

He also lowered himself into the forest. Not long later, a young man dressed in black walked out. There was a hideous scar on his face. The scar ran from his left eye down the bridge of his nose to his right cheek. It was very scary.

This was Lin Xiao. He had used his spirit essence to cover up his original appearance. That face would easily bring him trouble.

Now, if he were a rough guy like this, he wouldn't even have the interest to look at him a second time, not to mention look at his face. Then, he would check his face with his spirit energy.

Although every man wanted a handsome face, he had to admit that ugly faces were sometimes easier to deal with.
