Chapter 42

The ground was shaking constantly.

Those seemingly beautiful but lifeless flowers and plants, like a broken mirror, split into countless fragments, and the scene on the Qiankun Mountains and Rivers Map floated up, like a tiny 3D model, and the white light blooming from it illuminated the place. In the false space, those fragments burst into countless light spots under the white light, and the map of mountains and rivers turned into a vortex, slowly absorbing those light spots.

The cliff in the distance turned into a river of dark red blood like a melting iceberg, gradually sinking down.

Those white lights were so dazzling that the four of them could only close their eyes, and could only feel the changes in the space around them.

He didn't open his eyes until all the tremors disappeared and all the movements around him calmed down.

There is no longer a small valley with bright flowers and plants in front of me.

The dark red chaotic sky is like the color mixed with dried blood.

There is black mud and stone land under the feet, and the surrounding area is barren, with no grass growing, and it always looks like a hand will be stretched out at any time.

Those cliffs disappeared, and behind the cliffs was a huge lake that collapsed downward.

There is no water in the lake.

Only the dead bones that fill the lake.

This is not a lake, but a pond as big as a lake, the Soul Refining Pool.

On top of those dead bones, there are ghosts swimming out from time to time, flowing in the pool continuously, the ghosts in the whole pool merge into black dead mist-like pool water, forming a whirlpool, and a moon-white altar is built in the center of the whirlpool.

Those ghosts eventually sank to the bottom of the altar along with the whirlpool.

There is no connection around the altar to go up. From a distance, it looks like it is floating on the pool. There is only a huge round platform supported by eight stone pillars carved with ghosts and beasts. There is only a jade carving on it. made the throne.

On the throne sat a man.

"Who are you? Why is there this scroll of Qiankun Mountains and Rivers?"

A majestic but calm voice came from above the altar, the voice was not loud, but it seemed to be ringing in their ears, and the words were clear.

Accompanied by this voice, there is also a powerful coercion.

This coercion is brought about by the huge gap in strength, and it comes from the powerful suppression deep in the soul.

Xia Zhanyan's spiritual consciousness was released almost instantaneously, but in the face of this powerful coercion, it was swallowed up in a blink of an eye, and her blood value dropped by two-thirds, while her mental power was completely empty. .

The situation of the other three people was no different.

It is the first time they have encountered such a situation, no matter how powerful they are in the game, who can cause such a large amount of damage directly with coercion.

The suppression brought about by absolute strength has already divided the victory and defeat without using a hand.

Who is this person?

If it is the big boss they want to fight, then this task can be deleted directly. With the current level of players in the game, I am afraid that even if the elite players of the whole server come together, it will not be enough to kill him.

"Senior, this junior is Gege, a low-level immortal cultivator from Tianluo Continent. I was entrusted to come here this time. Please forgive me if I disturb you." Xia Zhanyan took a step forward and looked up at the person.

The man didn't make a sound, but Xia Zhanyan felt an extremely sharp and cold gaze sizing her up.

"Senior, may I know a fairy named... Er Gouzi?" Xia Zhanyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.

Mentioning such a joyous name at such a tense moment made one want to laugh, but no one laughed.

The oppressive atmosphere around suddenly became more dignified. When the people on the altar heard the words "Er Gouzi", their slightly lowered heads suddenly raised.

"Who did you entrust?" His voice was still calm, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could feel that the dead person seemed to come alive suddenly.

Xia Zhanyan pondered for a while, finally bit her lip, and looked directly at that awe-inspiring gaze.

"Senior, I'm sorry, I don't think I can tell you." She paused, and then said, "Unless, you are a second dog!"

The people on the altar didn't answer, and 36 Ji and the others didn't know much about the ins and outs of her mission, so they could only stand there.

There was silence, and no one spoke for a long time.

"What an arrogant little girl! It's been more than 2000 years and no one has dared to speak to me like that. Come here and let me see you!" The man took a while to speak, and there was no emotion in his voice, nor did he see him. How to do it, a giant black hand made of ghost water suddenly protruded from the soul refining pool.

The giant hand grabbed Xia Zhanyan.

"Be careful!" 36 Ji yelled fiercely, reaching out to grab her, but he was in vain, seeing her being caught.

The giant hand came very strangely, it didn't seem to be fast, but it was impossible to dodge. Xia Zhanyan didn't even have a chance to dodge, so he was grasped by the hand and flew towards the altar quickly.

"If you don't want to die, stay where you are. The Soul Refining Pond is a ten thousand-year-old magic cave that can melt the soul." The man's voice sounded again, and a strong force will fly to save 36 The three of them all swept back to their original places.

After a moment of dizziness, Xia Zhanyan stood on the altar.

On the altar, the huge throne has a cold and icy atmosphere, and a person sits quietly on it, no, not a person, just a living soul.

His whole body was shrouded in a mass of black death energy, his brows and eyes could not be seen clearly, only his face was blurred.

Xia Zhanyan took a closer look and found that there were several dense chains wrapped around his body.The chain was only as thick as an ordinary adult's arm, and it shone with iron-black luster. It was unknown what material it was made of, and it was engraved with delicate charms, tightly binding him to the throne.

"Senior Er Gouzi?" Xia Zhanyan asked cautiously, for some reason, she didn't have a trace of fear in her heart.

The man in front of him was silent, as if trapped in a certain memory, a breath of sadness and loneliness spread.

"Is she okay?" After a brief silence, he finally spoke, his deep and hoarse voice was filled with indelible sorrow and a hint of tenderness.

He was asking Xia Zhanyan, but the gentle whisper seemed to have traveled through thousands of years, and finally only fell on another person.

That she was asking Xizhi, right?

A thousand years of lingering life, an old and tired body, wandering in the world, experiencing the bitterness and suffering of the world.

Okay?

Xia Zhanyan didn't know how to answer.

"It's been a thousand years, but because of a little obsession in your heart, you have to ask her yourself whether it's good or not." Xia Zhanyan sighed, "You really are Senior Er Gouzi."

"Do you know, you are the second person who dared to call Er Gouzi in front of me and not be killed by me in these thousands of years." The man said calmly, "Don't call these three words again. Oh, remember, my name is Chongshang. Er Gouzi is the only person who can bark."

He closed his eyes, and there seemed to be that silver bell-like voice in his ears, calling at him arrogantly, "Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi..."

"The Qiankun Mountains and Rivers Map in your hand was redrawn by me after collecting 49 fragments of the ancient Lingbao Mountains, Rivers, and Sheji Map. I gave it to Xi Zhi as a magic weapon. Strength, even if you spend thousands of years here, you still won't be able to break my restriction." Chong Shang spoke slowly, with arrogance in his voice.

"Senior Chongshang, she asked me to take you back." Xia Zhanyan took out a magic weapon from the Qiankun bag.

"Seven Star Buddha Light Lotus." Chongshang recognized the magic weapon at a glance.

It was a small lotus platform, the lotus petals were pure and white, and the lotus heart was seven multicolored relics, shining with soft light. Xia Zhanyan held her in his palm, and the Buddha's light immediately enveloped her.

Looking from a distance, Xia Zhanyan's light clothes are like frost, his eyebrows are meaningful, and his facial features are not particularly outstanding. Suddenly, there is a kind of light that makes people unable to move their eyes away, faintly like the galaxy in the night sky, and the aura is compelling.

This bit of firefly-like Buddha's light, in this gloomy and deadly place, forcibly created a tiny sacred space, slightly relieving the heavy feeling on my heart.

"It's so beautiful. Oriental women are indeed full of mysterious beauty." Duke murmured.

36 Ji stared at Xia Zhanyan in the distance without saying a word, and even his life was like a dream, and he was slightly lost.

"She even gave you this..." Chongshang sighed, "This is her talisman."

"You guys go back, this thing can't bring me back." He shook his head, this Seven Star Buddha Light Lotus can be regarded as one of the best in Tianluo Continent

The rare top-grade magic weapon, which can protect the soul from death, from the player's point of view, it can bring the dead back to life. With this magic weapon, you can get a chance to be reborn in battle.But this is the Nine Serenities Absolute Prison, if this little Buddha light is released, it will not only be swallowed instantly, but also attract the wrath of ghosts and ghosts, not to mention saving him, it would be good if he can protect himself.

"Then how can I take you back?" Xia Zhanyan frowned, and put away the Seven Star Buddha Light Lotus.

"Little girl, you are an immortal doctor, right?" Chong Shang asked her suddenly.

"Well, I am." Xia Zhanyan didn't understand why he changed the subject.

"She didn't tell you, right? There is a way for me to go back, but I have to sacrifice you." Chong Shang's tone was not sad or joyful, "Let me take the house."

The cold and heartless voice sounded in Xia Zhanyan's ears, and Xia Zhanyan's heart suddenly seemed like a mirror.

No wonder the old beggar gave her the task, and put in all her effort to train her...

She thought of the inexplicable guilt on the old beggar's old face before entering Jiuyou, and now she finally had a reasonable answer.

Seizing the house is to let the soul enter another person's body, expel the original soul of that body, and then occupy that body for rebirth.

For players, seizing the house means turning into a soul state and starting over again, which is equivalent to deleting the account, but the player who is reborn after seizing the house can get additional compensation from the system, which is probably the only thing better than deleting the account .

"Are you willing?" Zhong Shang asked.

Xia Zhanyan didn't answer. In her mind, Xizhi's old face, her begging eyes, her smile full of vitality after her face was restored, and the little things about getting along with Xizhi since her rebirth emerged.

She and Xizhi are not only the relationship between the player and the NPC, but also the relationship between the half-master, and they are also like friends, supporting each other along the way.

Xia Zhanyan lowered her head, she could understand Xizhi, when a person is on the verge of despair, he might try to seize that chance at all costs.

She doesn't hate her.

only……

"I don't want to!" When Xia Zhanyan raised her head again, her confused expression was gone, her eyes were clear, without the slightest hesitation.She also has something she wants to hold on to, and a hope she wants to hold on to desperately, so she can sympathize, forgive, but never agree.

"Hahaha... I like your directness." Chongshang's smile shook the soul refining pool, and the sluggish flow of ghost water in the pool suddenly became chaotic, "Don't worry, little girl, this deity is not going to want to Only a low-level immortal cultivator can go back, your aptitude is so poor, this deity looks down on you. You go back well, she doesn't have to feel guilty."

In that laughter, there was an arrogance that could not be extinguished for thousands of years.

"She asked me to tell you that for thousands of years, if you go to hell and go down to hell, even if Tianhuan falls into reincarnation forever, if you will be an animal for all eternity, and your soul will be extinct, she will bring you back!" Xia Zhanyan read Xizhi's last words word by word Perhaps Xizhi had already expected that Chongshang would not agree to what she said, and that the trip would inevitably fail, so she passed the words to her at the last moment.

But anyway, the word was brought, and her task was accomplished.

Hearing such resolute words, Chongshang saw that charming and beautiful woman in front of her eyes, her eyes were determined, and she said exactly what she said.

Xia Zhanyan had already turned around and walked to the side of the altar, thinking about how to go back.

"Wait." Chong Shang suddenly stopped her.

A huge suction force sucked her under the throne.

Xia Zhanyan was forced to kneel under the throne, and immediately felt angry.

"Ah—" Zhongshang suddenly roared, and the chains that bound him suddenly burst into black light, and then tightened inch by inch.

The roar was like a dragon's chant, coming from the Soul Refining Pond, resounding throughout Jiuyou, even the ground trembled amidst the roar.

Something peeled off from his chest little by little.With a tear-like tragedy.

With the appearance of that object, the surrounding Yin Qi seemed to have touched something extremely frightening, and they fled outward one after another. The Yin Soul water in the Soul Refining Pool seemed to be disturbed, setting off waves of shock.

murderous look!
That was a strong murderous intent.

The three people on the opposite bank also felt the murderous aura like a storm, and all of them changed their expressions.

The monstrous murderous aura emanated from the Nine Nether Absolute Prison, directly reaching the upper realm.

The birth of a terrible thing caused all the cultivators in the upper realm to change their faces.

"The killing of the gods has come out, and the celestial calamity is approaching. Let's make plans early." The guardian dragon of Tianluo on the dragon tower opened his eyes, and looked at the vast Tianluo through the vast fairy clouds.
