"Xihua!
Your body is weak. You need to rest! "Guhan hurriedly pressed Lu Xihua, who had just crawled out of the medical pod, back onto the chair.
"Master, I'm fine. The one who's not fine is my little brother!
My little brother's soul hasn't returned! "Lu Xihua said anxiously to Guhan.
"…" Guhan was stunned. "Are you sure your little brother's soul isn't in his body?"
"Of course!
I'm his biological sister. I can feel it. My little brother's body is only a shell. His soul isn't here! "Lu Xihua said anxiously.
"It seems like there's still a flaw in my plan!"
Guhan smiled helplessly. "It seems like Lu Yin's soul had already left his body when Zhou Yu was possessing him!"
"What?!
Will my little brother's life be in danger? "Lu Xihua became even more anxious after hearing Guhan's words.
"That won't happen. I can guarantee that your little brother's soul is still alive. Otherwise, your little brother's body would immediately lose all signs of life and become a dead man … There's no physical body in this world that can survive the destruction of a soul. Your little brother's soul must still be somewhere … It's most likely in the game … But after clearing the dungeon three times, all the souls have left the game … If your little brother's soul is still there, he should have returned. Could it be that your little brother's soul …" Guhan said in a low voice.
It seemed like Zhou Yu had thrown Lu Yin's soul into the game when he took over Lu Yin's body, and Lu Yin's soul somehow entered the dungeon. That was why the staff in the game couldn't find Lu Yin's soul from the beginning to the end.
"Master!
My little brother died for … "Lu Xihua looked at Guhan with tears in his eyes. The meaning behind his words was self-evident. Lu Yin had taken a huge risk and sacrificed himself to defeat Zhou Yu. Guhan had to take responsibility for Lu Yin's life!
Sigh, now there was another reason for Guhan to enter the dungeon. Guhan had no choice but to enter!
…
"Yuzhang City is empty!
This is the first time I've seen this! "Guhan said as he looked at his surroundings after entering the game.
It had been half a year since Guhan last logged into the game.
No matter which time he entered the game, Yuzhang City was always bustling with activity. There was an endless stream of people walking through every corner of Yuzhang City. The city in the game was never quiet.
When he entered the game, the entire Yuzhang City seemed to have become a ghost town. There was not a single person in sight on the huge streets. What was strange was that all the shops on both sides of the street were open for business. All the equipment, lights, kitchens, and other facilities in each shop were operating normally. However, there was not a single person in these shops.
In order to facilitate the search for lost souls in the game, after regaining control of the game, the game officials made all the NPCs and Yuan Kou in the game offline. However, the equipment in these shops did not have time to be turned off. Hence, this extremely strange scene appeared!
"Master!"
Lu Xihua stuck close to Gu Han's back in fear. This strange scene made Lu Xihua instinctively afraid.
"Ahem!
Both of you, pay attention to your image! "
Liunian Ling appeared beside Guhan. The three of them formed the main force of Guhan's dungeon challenge this time!
According to Gu Han's plan, he could enter the game by himself. There was no need for Lu Xihua and Fleeting Ling to enter the game.
However, Lu Xihua firmly said that she had to save her brother with her own hands. Liunian Ling said that she could not let Guhan be the only one in the limelight. She wanted to be in the limelight as well.
In this regard, Guhan did not insist after a few simple words of advice. This was the path they had chosen. Guhan would not stop them.
"According to the information found by Xu Yang and the staff, the entrance to the dungeon is near the Hengdian Studio in Jinhua, Zhejiang!" Guhan said to Lu Xihua and Liunian Ling.
"Master!
Why is the entrance to the dungeon there? "Lu Xihua asked curiously.
"You don't even know this!"
Liunian Ling said before Guhan could answer, "In the real world, Hengdian Studio is the biggest stronghold of the Heavenly Court in the human world. The only entrance to the Heavenly Court is located in Hengdian Studio. If we want to enter the Annihilate the Heavenly Court dungeon, we have to go through that entrance."
"In Xu Yang's information, he entered the dungeon through that entrance!" Liunian Ling said quickly.
"Alright!
We will explain these things later. We need to go to Hengdian Studio immediately! "
Guhan clapped his hands rhythmically. Then, Xuan's voice resounded throughout the city, "Are you ready?"
"Senior Xuan, we are ready. Please teleport us directly to Hengdian Studio!" Guhan replied.
"I wish you all the best!"
Xuan's voice disappeared. Guhan and the others felt their vision go black. When they saw light again, they were already in a luxurious, classical Chinese style building.
Originally, it would take Guhan and the others at least half a day to get to Hengdian Studio from Yuzhang City by public transport.
However, this was a game, a half-closed game with no players. Xuan had the highest control of the game, so teleporting across the entire map was a piece of cake. With a thought from Xuan, Guhan and the others teleported to the entrance of the dungeon.
"I've long heard that Hengdian Studio is the most well-preserved and beautifully built place in the entire Yanhuang Continent. I've long wanted to visit this place in the real world. I didn't expect to be one step ahead of me in the game!" Guhan said with a sigh.
Hengdian Studio was Heavenly Court's largest stronghold. A large number of Heavenly Court's Yuan Kou lived there.
Different from other Yuan Kou's forces which were a mix of humans and beasts, Heavenly Court's Yuan Kou were intelligent beasts. They needed a good living environment.
Not only would they not destroy the surrounding buildings, but they would also repair them from time to time.
The Heavenly Court had been in the Hengdian Film City for more than 900 years. The entire illusion was naturally created by the Heavenly Court. There were pavilions everywhere, carved dragons and painted rafters. Under the lingering Immortal Qi, it was like a real Heavenly Court.
Under normal circumstances, Hengdian Film City would spawn countless powerful Prime Bandits. Even Emperor Sword-level players in the game would not be able to move freely in Hengdian Film City, much less approach the entrance of the dimensional rift that led to the Heavenly Court that was protected by Hengdian Film City.
However, all of the Yuan Kou had been spawned by the game. Hengdian Studio was also empty. Guhan and the others could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hengdian Studio while strolling quietly in this important stronghold of Yuan Kou. Finally, they arrived at the center of Hengdian Studio: Qin Imperial Palace.
From the incomplete historical records of the Great Calamity Era, one could vaguely learn that this Hengdian Film City was originally a small mountain village. Later on, for the sake of filming the movie "Jing Ke Assassinates the Qin Emperor", a film crew had built a large scale ancient building in this small mountain village: the Qin Imperial Palace.
With Qin Imperial Palace as the core, Hengdian Film City gradually developed into a large-scale film and television base with more than a dozen special buildings. It was provided to all the production teams in the country for free. Hengdian Film City also relied on the stars of these production teams to attract a large number of tourists, earning a lot of money. It was a win-win situation for both sides.
PS: The first scenic area of Hengdian Studio was Guangzhou Street, built for the filming of "Opium War". Qin Imperial Palace was built in the second year.
The dimensional gap that led to Heavenly Court was in Qin Imperial Palace. However, the entrance was not in the most important palace of Qin Imperial Palace: the Unification of the Four Seas Hall.
It was in an inconspicuous horse field beside the Unification of the Four Seas Hall.
This horse field was originally used to perform the Qin Imperial Palace's classic equestrian performance: the Martial Arts Exhibition of the Eight Banners … Don't ask why the Qin Imperial Palace would perform something from the Qing Dynasty. You'd have to ask the managers of Hengdian Studio … In any case, before the Great Destruction, there would be equestrian stuntmen performing the martial arts exhibition of the Eight Banners three times.
However, as time passed, this horse field was no longer a martial arts field. Instead, it became a public square. In the middle of the public square, there was a new altar. On top of the altar was the door that led to Heavenly Court.
Without any obstructions, Guhan and the others arrived in front of the door. Looking at the shining door, Guhan looked at Lu Xihua and Liunian Ling beside him.
"You two have to think this through!
Once you follow me into this door, you will have no chance of escaping before we clear this instance dungeon. In fact, you might end up like the millions of souls, trapped in this instance dungeon forever, "Guhan said solemnly.
"Guhan, since when did you become so wishy-washy?" Liunian Ling rolled her eyes at Guhan and led the way into the door.
"She sure is impatient!"
Guhan smiled wryly. Without saying anything else, he grabbed Lu Xihua's hand and disappeared into the door.

"This is … Yuzhang City …" When Guhan and Liunian Ling saw the world around them, they were shocked to find that they had returned to Yuzhang City. Not to mention, it was a bustling city filled with Players!
