Xu Lu's beautiful eyes sized Cheng Xu up with interest. "Handsome, are you sure you don't want to consider it? With your ability, it'd be a pity for you to stay in a broken sect like the Medicine Celestial Valley. As long as you join our Blood Demon Sect, I can let bygones be bygones and guarantee that you'll have a smooth rise in your position in the Blood Demon Sect."
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in your demonic path."
Cheng Xu's eyes were filled with disdain.
"You don't know what's good for you. The young lady is giving you a chance because she thinks highly of you!" The red-haired male snorted.
Cheng Xu didn't say anything and continued to fight the red-haired man.
Before he knew it, it was already the next day.
Xu Lu and the red-haired man were both a little tired. They would occasionally discuss some matters of the Blood Demon Church and gradually began to let down their guard.
Cheng Xu held Xu Lu hostage quietly, calculating the time in his heart. His teammates should have escaped to a safe position.
While the two of them were chatting about the demonic sect's affairs, Cheng Xu secretly took out a ground-shrinking talisman and asked, "Is your devil path really that powerful?"
"What, you've thought it through?" the red-haired male asked teasingly.
"That's the way. Believe me, joining our Blood Demon Church is definitely the wisest choice you'll ever make in your life. Xu Lu said with seductive eyes.
"Eh? Why are you guys back?"
Cheng Xu suddenly changed the topic and looked in the direction that Bai CI 'er and the others had left in surprise.
The red-haired man and Xu Lu were slightly shocked and subconsciously turned around to look.
In the next second, the small sword that had been on Xu Lu's neck suddenly disappeared. Xu Lu instantly lost the support behind her and almost fell.
"Not good!"
Xu Lu looked back in shock and saw a ground-shrinking talisman slowly falling and turning into powder with the wind.
"Damn it, I've been played by that kid!" Xu Lu gritted her teeth in anger.
The red-haired man reacted and was about to chase after him, but he was stopped by Xu Lu. "Don't chase him. The quality of the ground-shrinking talisman is extremely high. I'm afraid that the kid is already thousands of miles away. You can't catch up to him."
"Miss, are you alright? That kid didn't do anything to you, did he?" the red-haired man asked with concern.
"I'm fine. It's just a superficial wound." Xu Lu touched the wound on her collarbone and sneered, "Cheng Xu from the Medicine Immortal Valley, right? I'll remember you!"
…
On Cheng Xu's side, before he could celebrate his successful escape, he was dumbfounded by the situation in front of him.
"What the hell is this place?"
At this moment, what appeared in front of him was an extremely strange, dense forest. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with demonic qi.
However, this was not the main point. The main issue was that the place he was stepping on was a steep rock that was shaking, looking like it was about to break.
Moreover, the shape of the entire cliff beneath his feet was also very strange. It was completely hollow inside, like a fallen tree trunk. After years of erosion, the surface was covered with a thick layer of moss and vegetation.
Creak~ creak ~!
The mountain rock under his feet could not support Cheng Xu's weight. As it swayed, a strange sound was heard.
"That doesn't sound right!"
Cheng Xu carefully retreated to the sturdy cliff behind him. He leaned over to look at the crack in the rock and saw a scene that made him doubt his eyes.
Inside the crack, a few rusty metal bars were struggling to maintain the shaky "rock."
In that instant, Cheng Xu's view of the world received an unprecedented shock.
"Something's wrong! Very wrong!"
Cheng Xu took out a small sword and tried to dig up the soil under his feet. What was exposed in front of him was not a mountain or rock, but a metal with a smooth surface and extremely precise casting technique that was covered with special patterns.
Looking at the weirdly-shaped hollow mountain under his feet, Cheng Xu unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
This wasn't a mountain but a huge metal object!
"A magic treasure?" Cheng Xu pondered, "But isn't this too big? What kind of awesome immortal cultivators are capable of controlling such an enormous magical equipment?"
Then here came the problem.
Why would such a terrifying treasure be abandoned here? And where was this place?
Cheng Xu took out the map and looked at it for a long time, but he could not find the corresponding location on the map.
"Ugh, where did the ground-shrinking talisman send me to?"
As he cursed, he slid down the flat "cliff" slope all the way to the foot of the mountain.
It took him a long time to reach the breach of the giant magical equipment. It was dark inside with sparse woods growing there.
Just as Cheng Xu wanted to go in and take a look, he was frightened by a beast's roar from the depths of the hole and turned to run.
It couldn't be helped. Judging from the terrifying sense of oppression that the beast's roar carried, it was very likely a third-rank demonic beast, equivalent to a human golden core stage big shot.
Cheng Xu ran madly for a long distance.
After confirming that the demonic beast had not caught up, he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, when he turned back to look at the giant magic treasure, he was once again stunned on the spot.
Previously, due to the close distance, he could not see the full appearance of the "cliff." Now that he had run far away, the outline of the entire "cliff" could be clearly seen.
"Flying ship wreckage?"
That's right, the cliff was not a giant magic treasure. It was clearly the wreckage of a damaged, giant spaceship.
This time, Cheng Xu's worldview had completely exploded.
Even spaceships had appeared, which meant that this world was not a simple world of immortal cultivation. It was very likely that there had been a technological civilization, but for some unknown reason, it had become what it was now.
"No, if there was a technological civilization in this world, then wouldn't my humanoid computer be…"
Because of the tier-three demonic beast, Cheng Xu did not dare go back and check.
"Forget it. It's not too late to investigate when I have the chance in the future. For now, it's better to leave as soon as possible!"
After recovering from the shock, he roughly determined his position, took out a length contraction charm, and activated it in the direction he came from.
In the next second, the scene in front of him instantly distorted, and the heavy spatial compression made Cheng Xu breathless.
When the distorted scene in front of him gradually became clear, he had already appeared in the middle of a mountain range full of spiritual qi.
Cheng Xu took out a map and compared it with the surrounding mountains and directions. Finally, he confirmed his location.
"Isn't this the northern region of Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range? "
If they found the Heavenly Dragon Mountains, they would naturally find the location of the Heluo Kingdom.
Turning back to look in the direction they had come from, Cheng Xu instantly understood.
According to the map, the Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range was the border of the northern region of Mini Southern Heaven. In other words, he had been sent to an area beyond the map by the ground-shrinking talisman.
According to some of the knowledge he had read before, the northern border of Mini Southern Heaven was a place called the desolate monster region. There were many monsters and it was extremely dangerous. It was obviously not a place he could set foot in at the moment.
"Why would there be a spaceship wreckage in the desolate demon territory? "
While Cheng Xu was puzzled, he looked at the Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range in front of him.
The Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range was the largest mountain range in the northern part of Mini Southern Heaven. It stretched across half of the northern border.
As for the Heavenly Dragon Mountain in the Heluo Kingdom, it was just a branch of the Heavenly Dragon Mountain range.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Heavenly Dragon Mountain's Yuqing school should have been conquered by the Blood Demon Church."
Thinking of Xu Lu's previous act of impersonating a cultivator of the Pure Jade Sect, the Pure Jade Sect had most likely become a stronghold of the Blood Demon Church.
Now that he wanted to go back, he would have to pass by Tian Long Mountain. He could go and check it out.
Of course, Cheng Xu was not stupid enough to just barge in. It was just an investigation mission, so he could just observe from afar with the evil eye of ten thousand arts and gather some information.
It took Cheng Xu two days and two nights to cross the main mountain range of the Heavenly Dragon Mountain and arrive near the Heavenly Dragon Mountain where the Jade Pure sect was located.
He had been tormented along the way.
