Chapter 278

Above the Dragon Domain.

A team of flying dragons flew slowly past, forming a "person" shape one moment and a "one" shape the next.

Leading them was a golden dragon, its entire body covered in golden scales, its massive body like a great mountain.

On the golden dragon's back stood a young man with fluttering sleeves, and a palm-sized purple dragon lay on his shoulder.

The young man was the new Dragon Speaker, Zhang Xingyu.

"Wave, wave, wave!"

On the golden dragon's back, Zhang Xingyu was extremely proud.

As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

This time, helping the flying dragons release their souls, although it was a life-and-death situation, the harvest was also huge.

After releasing the flying dragons' souls, Zhang Xingyu received the Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror as a token of gratitude.

Of course, without the flying dragons' souls, the current Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror could no longer be called the Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror.

Zhang Xingyu gave it a poetic and picturesque name: "The Book in Hand for Three Lives and Three Worlds."

Zhang Xingyu took this "Book in Hand for Three Lives and Three Worlds" into his divine sea to nourish it.

The System Black Diamond drilled out from the void, circled it three times, and then made a grumbling sound.

"Host, you spendthrift, a perfectly good treasure, ruined by you like this, even its grade has dropped by one level."

"Tch, what do you know. This is called sacrifice. If I wasn't willing to break the seal on this treasure, I wouldn't have been able to release the flying dragons' souls. If I didn't release the flying dragons' souls, the Dragon Domain Guardian wouldn't have gifted me this treasure."

The team stopped in front of a mountain peak.

At the top of the mountain peak was a cliff as smooth as a mirror.

This cliff was the entrance and exit to the Dragon Domain Secret Realm.

"Everyone go back!"

Zhang Xingyu waved his sleeves, bidding farewell to the flying dragons who had come to see him off.

"Woo-woo!"

The baby dragon lay on his shoulder, refusing to come down no matter what.

Zhang Xingyu touched the baby dragon's head.

"Be good! After I finish my business, I will return to the Dragon Domain. When that time comes, I'll take you to roam the world!"

"Woo-woo!"

The incantation was chanted, and the world spun.

Opening his eyes again, Zhang Xingyu returned to the sky above the familiar Evil Dragon Lair.

"Beep-beep! Beep-beep!"

At his waist, the communication magic tool left behind by the Old Demon He Teyao kept ringing.

"What are you rushing for!"

Zhang Xingyu cursed inwardly, drove his sword light, and flew toward the location pinpointed by the Old Demon.

Flying three or four hundred miles, he saw the Old Demon's fat figure from afar.

He Teyao walked against the wind with his hands behind his back, his fat shaking in the wind.

Flying in front of He Teyao, before he could start spraying water, Zhang Xingyu reached out a hand to him.

"Hand it over! Compensation for mental and material damages."

"What?" The Old Demon was confused.

"Hmph! I risked my life to lure away the strong enemies for you, shouldn't I get some compensation? If it weren't for me risking my life to lure away the flying dragons, if it weren't for me using every possible method to kill Forsyth, could you be so relaxed and carefree?"

After some negotiation, the Old Demon took out a pitch-black fruit with a pained expression.

Mad Demon Fruit, bitter and slightly astringent, replenishes 1 million points of Demon Qi after consumption.

Zhang Xingyu frowned and ate it.

Even a mosquito's leg is meat. Although this thing was bitter, the 10,000 points of God Yuan it brought to Zhang Xingyu were real.

You must know that to break the divine seal on the Divine Dragon Treasure Mirror, he had almost exhausted all the God Yuan in his divine sea.

Over the past few days, although he had eaten a pile of Dragon Domain spiritual fruits sent by the flying dragons, he still hadn't been able to fully replenish the God Yuan in his divine sea.

After the man and the demon finished bickering, they boarded the Void-Escaping Shuttle again.

The shuttle took off.

Two days later, the shuttle flew out of the rolling mountains and arrived on a vast, white wasteland.

This wasteland had no vegetation, and there were no signs of any animal activity.

Everywhere was ice and snow, vast white ice and snow.

Frozen Wasteland.

This was the Frozen Wasteland.

This Frozen Wasteland was a forbidden zone for life in the Demon Domain; it was rumored that no creature had ever left here alive.

Zhang Xingyu looked at the Old Demon He Teyao.

He Teyao was frowning, trying to recall something.

After a moment, he looked up and said to Zhang Xingyu: "Five thousand years have passed, and nothing here has changed. Kid, if it weren't to send you to the top of the Divine Mountain, I wouldn't want to come here again. This place has great terror."

Zhang Xingyu glanced at him: "It's as if I invited you here. If it weren't to help you get that holy fire, if it weren't to help you advance to Demon God, do you think I'd be willing to come to this ghost place!"

Zhang Xingyu subconsciously tightened his collar.

This ghost place lived up to its name of being frozen. The temperature was below minus 50 degrees; even spit could freeze into ice flowers.

Fortunately, Zhang Xingyu could withstand the cold and had spiritual power protecting his body, so he wasn't worried about being frozen into an ice sculpture.

After finishing their bickering, He Teyao took out a colorful scroll.

The scroll slowly unfolded, and a gold-inlaid, silver-embedded sleigh appeared.

In front of the sleigh stood two cute sika deer side by side.

The man and the demon drove the vehicle and sped off.

Half a day later, they had penetrated four or five hundred miles into the Frozen Wasteland.

The setting sun shone.

At the edge of their vision, a tall ice house shone with dreamlike brilliance like crystal.

He Teyao pulled the reins lightly, and the sleigh slowed to a stop.

"Kid, a group of terrifying creatures lives here. Next, we must pass through stealthily. Be careful, don't make any sound."

As He Teyao spoke, he handed Zhang Xingyu a white cloak.

"Invisibility cloak. Wear it on your body to hide your tracks."

Zhang Xingyu nodded and touched the cloak with his hand.

Cold, smooth, and silky.

This thing must be made from the fur of a special animal.

"Don't dawdle, put it on quickly. We are very close to the ice house, be careful not to be discovered by those terrifying things."

Zhang Xingyu nodded, put on the cloak, and then disappeared from where he stood.

In the snow.

The man and the demon, one in front and one behind, crawled like turtles.

Five thousand meters, four thousand meters, three thousand meters...

Nine hundred meters, eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters...

Seeing the ice house getting closer and closer, Zhang Xingyu's heart slowly rose to his throat.

Inside the ice house, shadows could be seen flickering.

Four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters...

The figures in the ice house were already clearly visible.

Inside the house stood an old man in green clouds.

This old man had a bloodless face, dull eyes, and was holding a black iron rod in his withered palm.

Just at this moment, a shrill whistle came from afar.

A figure flashed inside the ice house, and the old man in green appeared outside the door.

This was a dead man!

Zhang Xingyu didn't feel a trace of living breath from him.

Was this dead man the terrifying existence He Teyao spoke of?

Just at this moment, the old man let out a long whistle, and a terrifying pressure radiated from his body.

At this moment, the heavens and earth froze, and space seemed about to crack.

At this moment, Zhang Xingyu's breathing stopped, and his heartbeat stopped.

Amidst the long whistle, the old man had turned into black smoke and flew away rapidly into the distance.

It wasn't until the old man's figure disappeared at the edge of his vision that Zhang Xingyu felt his body lighten and his heartbeat resume.

"He..."

"Shh! Leave quickly!"

Half an hour later, far from the ice house, the man and the demon finally stopped.

"He Teyao, who was that old man just now?"

"He is a tomb guardian. According to ancient legends, there are five tomb guardians in this wasteland, each with the cultivation of a Heavenly Demon. For over ten thousand years, they have guarded the Divine Demon Mausoleum ahead, killing every living creature that tries to break into the mausoleum."
