第两千三百九十二章 进入冰炎谷

"Thank you, Senior Uncle."

The woman was overjoyed and stood up gracefully. She bowed to Lin Xuan with a look of utmost respect on her face. The restrictions she tried to remove herself proved ineffective; however, they were effortlessly destroyed by Lin Xuan's movements, the disparity in their strength being incomparable.

She took a deep breath and调动了丹田中的法力,在经脉中运转,丝毫没有迟滞,证明所有禁制确实已被完全解除,再无任何残留。

Surviving this ordeal, she felt relieved. She did not want to stay here any longer. Lin Xuan had the same thought; having gained much already, staying in Scorpion Tail City would be unwise. One could never tell what might happen later.

Although such concerns were likely unnecessary, it was clear that fleeing was the best course of action. There was no doubt about this.

The two agreed instantly, so there was no need for further discussion. They looted the city lord's residence and then took their leave, each displaying their own abilities to fly into the distant sky.

"Junior Niece Yu, how did you end up in the clutches of that Scorpion Tail Old Demon?"

Although Lin Xuan wasn't a gossip, he had to ask since this was his encounter.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jiao's face showed a hint of sadness as she sighed softly. "A few months ago, while searching for spirit herbs, I inadvertently revealed my true form. The Scorpion Tail old monster saw me and, driven by lust, captured me."

"Ah, I see." Lin Xuan did not show much emotion; he was just casually inquiring.

Unlike his indifference, a glint appeared in the girl's eyes as she looked at Lin Xuan's gentle face. She finally bit her lip and spoke: "Senior Uncle, how did you advance? It took only a century for you to progress from Profound Obscurity to Spirit Separation Stage. Surely, Senior Uncle must have had some incredible experiences."

"Indeed, I was fortunate," said Lin Xuan with a smile. He kept his humility as his principle; even though he was now a powerful Spirit Separation stage cultivator, he would not forget himself. He casually dismissed the matter and did not need to elaborate on all the wonders that happened after arriving in the Demon World.

The woman understood and did not press further.

Their遁光 extremely swift, they soon flew over ten thousand miles.

Lin Xuan's figure became blurry before stopping. Although Yu Jiao was somewhat confused, she naturally followed suit.

"Senior Uncle, what is wrong?"

"Junior Niece Yu, I still have some matters to attend to. Let us part here," said Lin Xuan calmly. He had not forgotten his purpose for coming here: the Ice Flame Valley.

"Agreed."

To her surprise, she did not ask any more questions but instead bowed respectfully to Lin Xuan with a grateful expression on her face. "I will never forget your life-saving grace. The Demon World is dangerous; although Senior Uncle has great abilities, please be careful."

"I understand. Take care of yourself as well," said Lin Xuan.

He nodded at the girl and then surrounded himself in a green glow before vanishing from sight.

Sighing, Yu Jiao realized she was envious but quickly regained her composure. As they say, one should know when to be content; escaping the Scorpion Tail Master's grasp was already fortunate enough.

Moreover, great misfortunes often bring good fortune. It would be better to focus on finding treasures for refining a Spirit Separation Pill rather than envy Senior Uncle Lin.

Meanwhile, as the sun began to set, Lin Xuan finally arrived at the Ice Flame Valley.

Surveying the vast mountains before him, his eyes narrowed and his expression grew serious. As one of Black Flame State's most notorious forbidden areas, the dangers here were obvious.

While he did not dwell on the outer valley for now, the inner valley was said to be so perilous that even Spirit Separation stage cultivators could fall prey to it. Although Lin Xuan had great confidence in his abilities, entering without caution would still be risky.

Nevertheless, as they say, fortune favors the bold. Since fate had unexpectedly provided him with a map, he couldn't let such an opportunity pass. How dangerous could Ice Flame Valley be when compared to the perils of his journey so far?

As long as he remained cautious, Lin Xuan believed he would successfully retrieve the treasures.

However, it was late in the day. Although night did not hinder his vision, the dangers would certainly increase. Weighing the pros and cons, he decided to rest for a while; it wouldn't matter if he waited another night.

The night passed uneventfully.

The next morning, as soon as the sun rose high, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the depths of the vast mountains.

Although he did not use his full speed, his flight was still very fast. It wasn’t that Lin Xuan was overconfident; for a Spirit Separation stage cultivator like him, the outer valley posed little threat, while the inner valley held far more dangers.

While caution was wise, it had its limits. Even daring元婴期 beings dared to search for treasures in the outer valley. If he showed excessive cowardice, it would be rather amusing.

On his journey, he encountered some demons, but their low levels posed no real threat.

Nevertheless, Lin Xuan found some treasures, though they held little value to him compared to the spirit herbs that seemed invaluable to others. However, with his current mission, these lower-grade herbs were of no concern.

Since there was nothing blocking his path, he reached the outer and inner valley junction in half a day.

The Ice Flame Valley's terrain was unique; the inner and outer valleys did not connect directly but through a narrow valley.

This valley was over a hundred feet long with its widest point being only three feet. It could accommodate only one person at a time.

Millions of years ago, two factions fought here, completely altering the environment. The space itself became unstable, and once entering this narrow valley, one would be swallowed by spatial rifts.

However, these spatial rifts were different; instead of danger, they functioned like a teleportation array, sending cultivators into the inner valley of Ice Flame Valley.

Lin Xuan had read enough ancient texts to know this. Without hesitation, he entered the narrow valley.
