Chapter 280

Frozen Plateau, the sky was deep blue.

A shuttle streaked across the high sky, leaving a long white line behind.

Behind the shuttle, four streaks of black smoke pursued relentlessly, disappearing into the horizon in a moment.

The plateau returned to tranquility, with only the ten-thousand-year-old ice and snow still shining brightly.

Zhang Xingyu finished taking stock of his belongings and slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him, the Old Demon He Teyao was driving the shuttle with focused concentration. His face was heavy, and sweat flowed down his furrowed forehead. It seemed that driving the shuttle for a long time was quite a drain on his heart and mind.

Beside him, Demon King Harry was putting on makeup in a bronze mirror. His face was still pale, his expression still listless, and his jade-like little hands also seemed much clumsier.

Behind them, the Heavenly Demons were still hanging on unhurriedly. Zhang Xingyu felt that these Heavenly Demons didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill them. They were more like driving ducks, wanting to drive the shuttle straight ahead.

"Alex, the situation is a bit wrong!" Zhang Xingyu reminded.

The Old Demon He Teyao did not answer.

His eyes were fixed tightly ahead.

Following his line of sight, rows of ancient trees reaching the sky appeared at the edge of Zhang Xingyu's vision.

These ancient trees were evenly distributed and arranged in an orderly fashion, like teams of soldiers undergoing inspection.

Amidst the ancient trees, circular hills were revealed, like rusted copper coins.

What a peculiar place!

No sooner said than done.

In a moment, the shuttle had crossed the arranged ancient trees and arrived above the hills.

Zhang Xingyu only felt his feet go empty, and he fell downward with the shuttle like a stone.

"Alex, what's going on?"

"The Void-Escaping Shuttle has malfunctioned."

"Then hurry up and open the cabin door."

"I already said it malfunctioned."

Damn it!

There are plane crashes in the Xianxia world too.

And I just happened to be on the crashing shuttle.

Boom!

A loud noise came to his ears.

At the same time, a tremendous force struck from beneath his feet, instantly penetrating his entire body.

Where the force passed, bones broke and internal organs shifted.

Zhang Xingyu looked up and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Fortunately, he was a cultivator; although his body was severely injured, his consciousness was very clear.

Struggling to open the storage bag at his waist, Zhang Xingyu stuffed a handful of Yuan-Replenishing Pills into his mouth.

These Yuan-Replenishing Pills were scavenged by him from the Demon Race's market at an extremely low price.

The grade of the Yuan-Replenishing Pills was only second-tier, and the medicinal power was neutral and peaceful, which was the perfect medicine for him to recover from his injuries.

"Ding-dong, Host contributed 1000 points of spiritual aura, converted into 10 points of God Yuan."

"System, don't you dare intercept it. I need this spiritual aura to repair my injuries."

"Hmph! Stingy!"

The system grumbled twice and then made no further sound.

With the nourishment of spiritual aura, the broken bones and shifted internal organs in his body were repairing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xingyu spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood, and his injuries were seven or eight-tenths healed.

He stood up, only to find that the cabin door had been broken open, and He Teyao and Harry had already left.

These two guys didn't even know to get some rare treasures to heal me.

No loyalty!

Demon Kings can't be relied upon, still have to rely on myself.

Zhang Xingyu crawled out of the cabin door and looked around, only to find that he was on a hill.

The hill was bare, and there were black stones everywhere.

Zhang Xingyu picked one up and found that these stones were actually high-grade magic stones.

What kind of place is this, an open-pit high-grade magic stone mine?

Carrying a heart full of questions, Zhang Xingyu began to investigate the hill.

As he walked, he shouted.

"Alex! Brother Harry!"

"Alex! Brother Harry!"

The sound echoed in the air, but the two Demon Kings were silent.

These two guys had likely already gone far away.

Damn, they must have discovered something incredible.

Otherwise, with He Teyao's miserly nature, would he have let go of a whole mountain of high-grade magic stones?

Packing up a bag of magic stones, Zhang Xingyu left the hill.

Although wealth moves people's hearts, he didn't want to stay here alone.

Below the hill was a corridor surrounded by ancient trees, deep and endless.

Deep in the corridor, a thumping sound came from time to time, like the beating of drums on a battlefield.

Holding his flying sword, he stepped onto the corridor.

Following the sound, he walked slowly.

Along the way, his nerves were tense, and sweat soaked his back.

After walking less than a thousand meters, a fork appeared on one side of the corridor.

Outside the fork was a round hill, and the hill was covered with black high-grade magic stones.

After investigating, Zhang Xingyu returned to the corridor again.

This hill was also surrounded by ancient trees; to leave, one had to pass through the corridor.

Flying with a sword was not feasible; he didn't want to have another flight accident.

Let's go!

Keep walking!

Passing through ninety-nine forks, seeing ninety-nine hills.

The corridor seemed endless, and the drumbeats seemed to be forever ahead.

Let's go!

Keep walking!

The exit is right ahead.

Zhang Xingyu comforted himself.

Walking forward another thousand meters, he finally saw the end of the corridor.

At the end of the corridor was a vast plain.

The sun was bright, and the breeze was warm.

The grass was lush, and the flowers were like brocade.

Groups of people were wandering in the sea of flowers and green grass, some lying, some standing, some jumping, some walking.

Zhang Xingyu found two familiar figures among the crowd.

He Teyao was lowering his head to check a pile of items in front of him, occasionally letting out chuckles.

Beside him, Demon King Harry was holding a bronze mirror, carefully applying lipstick, his little mouth painted to look luscious.

"Alex! Brother Harry!"

Hearing Zhang Xingyu's shout, He Teyao and Demon King Harry turned their heads.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu, the two waved at him and then lowered their heads to busy themselves with their own affairs again.

Zhang Xingyu shook his head.

These two guys really hadn't changed their nature.

Zhang Xingyu walked into the plain.

The moment he stepped onto the plain, he saw his own body.

A sweet smile hung on his face, and his steps were light and quick.

What is going on?

I actually saw myself.

Could it be that this is the legendary out-of-body soul experience?

In the void, an inexplicable force came, dragging him further and further away.

His body grew smaller and slowly disappeared from his field of vision.

Zhang Xingyu was shocked.

What the hell?

A moment later, he was surprised to find that he had arrived in a strange place.

Ten crimson suns hung in the sky, and raging flames burned on the earth.

Damn place, it's really hot enough to kill someone.

Zhang Xingyu cursed inwardly.

In front of him, a familiar figure was twisting and wailing in the flames.

That was He Teyao. No, to be precise, that was He Teyao's soul.

Beside him, Harry's soul had already been roasted bright red. He closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth, and his face was twisted, but he didn't let out a single moan.

Zhang Xingyu took a few steps forward.

Although the weather was hot and the earth fire was fierce, it didn't do much damage to him.

He reached out his hand, wanting to pull Harry beside him.

However, he was surprised to find that he couldn't grab him at all.

A soul is not a body; a soul has form but no substance.

Demon King Harry's soul had not yet cultivated into a solid form, so naturally, it was still in a state of having form but no substance.

This world was not big.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Xingyu had finished exploring here.

This place should be a place similar to the Soul-Refining Divine Furnace. When a person's soul arrives here, it will be extracted and refined into pure God Yuan.

Must find a way to get out!

Zhang Xingyu thought to himself.
