Tears flowed down Lin Xuan's face and fell onto the ring on her chest. The ring began to glow, which caught the old man's attention. He reached out his hand to pick up the ring on Lin Xuan's chest and used his spirit energy to pass it into the ring.

The ring suddenly erupted with a tremendous amount of energy. Other than Lin Xuan and the old man, everyone else on the scene was sent flying.

Lin Xiao steadied his body and looked towards the arena. There was a blurry figure in the ring, only the upper half of his body. However, his figure gave off a majestic aura.

The figure reached out a hand to caress Lin Xuan's head before dissipating into thin air, only saying one sentence more.

"Work hard to survive."

Even if that figure did not reveal his identity, everyone present could guess that he was definitely Lin Xuan's father, the son of the old chief.

"Come back with me, I didn't take good care of Long'er, I want to pour my feelings for him onto you."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at his granddaughter who had just recovered from her loss.

She wanted to be together with her brother. Although the old man in front of her was her grandfather, he did not have much feelings for her. As for Lin Xiao, she had already treated him as a family, a blood brother.

"If you follow him, he definitely won't be able to leave Mountain Phoenix City alive. The Thousand Goblins Court has violated the rules and it would be equivalent to slapping the Thousand Goblins Court in the face."

The old man naturally knew why Lin Xuan would reject him. He indifferently glanced at Lin Xiao. Even though he felt that this young man's aura was a little different, it still wasn't up to the point where he had to pay attention to him.

"Either let my brother come with me, or I will stay by his side and die with him."

Lin Xuan retreated a few steps, distancing herself from the old man. Her attitude was very firm, she only wanted to follow Lin Xiao.

"He won't be able to return with us to the Dragon Clan. Even if I agree with the other clan members, they won't agree. Cultivators have a long lifespan, so we won't part forever. If Lin Xiao becomes a heaven-step Supreme Elder in the future, I'll let him meet you."

The old man's words caused Lin Xuan's heart to feel cold. Heaven Stage Supreme Elder? Lin Xiao wanted to reach the Heaven Stage, that was easier said than done. Some people could only look up to this Heaven's Chasm from the Earth Stage Late Phase for their entire lives, not to mention that Lin Xiao was only at the Profound Stage Late Phase.

Lin Xuan wanted to say something, but was cut off by Lin Xiao.

"Xuanxuan, you should return with the old patriarch. Once I become a major power, I'll go find you."

Lin Xiao smiled at Lin Xuan, but the latter's voice trembled as she asked, "Big brother, you don't want me anymore?"

"I am too weak now so I can't protect you. I will go to the dragon clan to find you when I can protect you in the future. I believe the old patriarch has no reason to stop me then."

How could Lin Xiao not understand the meaning behind the old man's words. In reality, he was too weak and did not deserve to be associated with the dragon race, so there was no need for him to stick his face to it. Furthermore, he believed that he would definitely be able to fulfill his promise.

The old man did not confirm or deny Lin Xiao's words. Seeing this, Lin Xuan could only nod her head and agree. She even made a promise to Lin Xiao that if there were any difficulties, she could go to the Dragon clan to look for her.

Lin Xuan had forced Lin Xiao to make this promise. If Lin Xiao did not allow it, she would definitely not leave the latter. She also knew that Lin Xiao would be in a lot of trouble in the future.

In the end, the old man's figure disappeared and returned to the jade stone. Lin Xiao didn't think that the jade stone was the old man, it was most likely a clone of the old man.

Lin Xuan followed the black clothed man and left, but not long after, another person came back and sneered at Lin Xiao, "Stop dreaming about interacting with the princess. Trash like you aren't worthy of her, obediently become the Imperial Water Clan's Young Master."

Lin Xiao was angered to the point of laughing. Could it be that he had come back to ridicule her?

"Is this your decision or the Patriarch's?"

Seemingly having his thoughts seen through by Lin Xiao, the black-clothed man snorted, casually throwing out a wooden tablet towards Lin Xiao, saying: "This wooden tablet can let me know where you are, if you are in danger then crush the wooden tablet, I will appear to save you, but of course, it is limited to the boundaries of Mountain Phoenix City, do you want it or not."

With that, the man in black left, and as he left, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, as though he had succeeded in his evil scheme. Lin Xiao looked at the wooden token in his hand, then at the man in black's back and threw the wooden token on the ground.

Even if he was in danger, he didn't need this self-assuming person to save him. He wasn't worthy of Lin Xuan, couldn't he compete with the dragon race?

He, Lin Xiao, would use his strength to prove that he was worthy of Long Xuan. Moreover, the Lin Family was no worse than the Long Family. The shame of today would definitely be repaid in the future.

"Dad, can you still see aunt?" Lin Yan leaped up and sat on his shoulder. As he looked in the direction that Lin Xuan had left, his tone was filled with reluctance.

"Yes!" "I will definitely become a great elder and then go to the dragon race to find Xuanxuan."

Lin Xiao firmly clenched his fist and nodded.

The three little fellows also agreed. They would also try their best because these people looked down on their father and even took away their aunt, making them enemies.

Lin Xiao walked towards the middle of the Demon Burying Valley. Since the dragon race had agreed to let him continue participating, he would return to the competition and continue working hard.

He also didn't expect that the former would leave after transforming into someone who hadn't even lived with him for a few days. However, this also gave him a warning, and that was that if he didn't have the ability, then the people around him would also leave him for various reasons, even if it wasn't the intention of the people around him.

Now that he had obtained the Ice Spirit Flame, he no longer had any worries about what to do next. He had to think of all kinds of ways to enter the top ten and enter the Celestial Spirit Pool to cultivate, so he had to increase his cultivation speed.

With all his heart, he quickly returned to Demon Burying Valley. The wasteland wasn't far from Demon Burying Valley.

Right now, fighting wasn't going to happen anywhere in the Demon Burying Valley as Lin Xiao had thought. Rather, it was very quiet. He had snuck for a long time, but he hadn't seen a single person.

However, he soon understood that it was almost over. Most people's thoughts were not to fight for another round, but to hide and stabilize their rankings.

However, there was no shortage of players who wanted to fight him to the death.

With his spiritual sense, Lin Xiao was able to find several places where spiritual medicines grew. However, most of them had already been harvested. Although the Demon Burying Valley was rich in resources, it couldn't withstand the fight over several hundred people.

Lin Xiao wasn't sure what kind of change his ranking would have, so he could only try his best to avoid those contestants with strong auras and search for heaven and earth treasures that had yet to be discovered.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao found a serpent orchid. Although there was a Jade Horned Serpent protecting it, it was not able to defeat Lin Xiao. In the end, both the inner pellet and flower became Lin Xiao's spoils of war.

At this time, the person hiding in the dark finally came out. Lin Xiao had long since sensed that someone was secretly following him. However, he didn't say anything. He wanted to see what those people were up to.

"Lin Xiao, you have violated the rules of the competition, you are not fit to continue the competition. Hand over your treasures, or else we will uphold justice for the Thousand Monster Court."

Lin Xiao almost laughed out loud when he heard this. The five people in front of him clearly wanted to kill someone for their treasure, but they were spouting such nonsense. They were simply trying to establish a memorial archway.

In the end, Lin Xiao beat up these five arrogant individuals until they were forced to kneel on the ground and beg for their lives. Lin Xiao wasn't a bloodthirsty person. After looting their treasures, she allowed them to leave.

However, this little person was still a little person. When he left, his gratitude was boundless. Not long after, news of Lin Xiao's appearance in the Demon Burying Valley spread throughout the entire sect. As for who it was, he was very clear in his heart.
