Chapter 258 Magical Space (2)
When the person leaves, it goes out. It traveled west, going past one prefecture and another.
Soon, it arrived at the westernmost Luori Prefecture. Further ahead was darkness.
Unlike literal darkness, he could see a thing or two occasionally.
The outermost periphery of the Luori Prefecture was originally where the Boundless Mountain Range was located. The corresponding area was a sheet of darkness without any light.
Completely dark!
Su Jingxing stood at the edge and looked at the darkness ahead.
Suddenly, he felt an indescribable fear. It was fear that came from his soul.
It was as if there was a great terror hidden in the darkness ahead!
Whereby once the Essence Soul stepped in, it would be shattered! “I can’t go in!”
Su Jingxing’s heart raced, and the Essence Soul body shuddered.
he next moment, Su Jingxing decisively retreated and headed north in the direction he came from. He found the hole that the Essence Soul had came through.
The Essence Soul body descended through the hole and passed through the glass membrane to return to the actual world.
It subconsciously swept its gaze around and checked the strange little lifeforms that had scattered everywhere.
As expected, they were all gone! With the death of the ostrich creature, these strange little life forms released by the it also dissipated completely. Without the strange little lifeforms, no one would self-combust due to anger, fear, and grief anymore.
The catastrophe that affected the entire country was thus eliminated.
Although no one knew, Su Jingxing heaved a sigh of relief.
The Essence Soul looked up at the hole that was still there.
As it watched, it suddenly had a thought and reached out to touch the ground of the glass membrane.
As expected, even without passing through the hole, the Essence Soul’s hand could still pass through the glass membrane and enter the mysterious space above.
However, Su Jingxing keenly sensed that it consumed soul power to pass through the glass membrane.
In other words, there was a price to pay for such penetration.
Without enough soul power, the Essence Soul similarly could not pass through the glass membrane and ascend into the mysterious space above.
The Essence Soul carefully sensed the mysterious glass membrane and realized that it could be repaired!
The hole could be patched up by expending soul power.
After some thought, Su Jingxing controlled the Essence Soul body and placed both hands on the sides of the hole. He released his soul power and pulled the sides towards the center like he was pulling rubber.
Unexpectedly, he really managed to extend the sides.
Moreover, they grew longer and closer.
Finally, the entire hole came together perfectly and the hole was removed.
Done!
The ostrich creature had made use of this hole to release the strange little lifeforms and enter the Yu Nation.
Now that the hole was gone, even if another ostrich creature appeared, it would not be easy to invade the Yu Nation.
“Speaking of which, where did that ostrich creature come from?
“The dark area outside the borders?
“Also, why is the mysterious space above only reflecting the Yu Nation’s territory?
“Or does every country have such a magical space?
“What’s the meaning of the existence of a magical space? When did it first appear? Has it existed since ancient times, or was it created by some big shot?”
Questions!
Recalling this strange experience, Su Jingxing’s mind was filled with questions.
But no one could answer them.
After expending a large amount of soul power to repair the hole, the Essence Soul body was somewhat exhausted. Without caring about anything else, it quickly rushed back to Qinghe City.
In the capital.
A luxurious minibus drove along the quiet road under the protection of a dozen cars.
The sky was already brightening up. A new day was about to begin.
On the brightly lit bus, there were more than ten people of all ages and genders with varying auras, but they remained silent with varying expressions.
If an outsider was present and got a clear look of their faces, he would definitely scream.
The reason was simple. These men and women were none other than the Yu Nation’s cabinet members!
Including the highest-ranked marshal of the military, the Martial Suppression Office’s Head Supervisor, the Prime Minister, and the Deputy Prime Ministers…
All of the cabinet members restrained their auras and sat in their seats silently.
These cabinet big shots who had just had a remote video conference were gathered together in the same bus. The atmosphere was especially tense.
As the sky grew brighter and brighter, a towering mountain appeared ahead.
A Deputy Prime Minister finally couldn’t take it anymore. He broke the silence and said, “Everyone, what do we say later?”
“What do you mean? What else can we say? Of course we’ll ask directly! Things have already developed to this point, what’s there to hide?”
“No, what if that person only made a mistake? And he’s doing his best to repair and clear it up now? If we ask directly, wouldn’t we be denouncing him?” “It’s not denouncing. We just want to know the relevant situation. After all, Yu Nation doesn’t belong to him alone. It belongs to all of us!”
“Heh heh, you guys are really ignorant and fearless. Denouncement? It’s not that I’m belittling myself, but who here has the right to question that person? Although I heard that that person has a good temper and hasn’t appeared again in the past few decades, don’t forget who he is! What level he stands on, and what level we stand on!”
There was a moment of silence.
After a while, someone said with a sigh, “That’s right. Even if that person made a mistake, it’s not something we can question. The Xia Family is so arrogant, stirring up trouble everywhere and disregarding human lives, but we can’t do anything to the Xia Family. Isn’t it because we are afraid of that person’s existence?”

Silence again.
“Alright, we can’t rush this matter. We can only take it slow. It’s not like we’re really going to question him. We just want to know the truth. If that person refuses to tell us, it’s no big deal for us to bow down a little.”
“That’s the only way…”
Suddenly, a ringtone sounded.
More than one, the phones in the pockets of the dozen people in the car started ringing.
The dense ringing broke the silence. While everyone was puzzled, their hearts tightened.
Has the situation turned serious again?
The dozen or so people hurriedly took out their phones and answered their respective calls.
“What… what happened? Say that again?”
“Are you sure? Did you sense wrongly?”
“It’s gone now, but you’re not sure if it’s completely gone?”
“Good, good, good!”
In the vehicle, the people held their phones and had different reactions.
After hanging up, the Prime Minister was the first to speak. “Pass down the order, there’s no need to go over. Tell the convoy to turn around and return to the city.” “Yes!”
An expressionless middle-aged man in the front passenger seat responded in a deep voice. He picked up the walkie-talkie and informed the convoy to turn around.
The others heaved a sigh of relief and returned to their normal states. Some were even overjoyed.
“I knew it. With that person around, how could it be so easy for us to perish?” “Heh, that’s not what you said earlier. Didn’t you want to question him?”
“Gone. All the dangers in the four prefectures have disappeared. If I’m not wrong, the source of this self-combustion case has been resolved by that person!”
“Although many people died, fortunately, it was resolved quickly and did not cause a huge disaster.”
“The Xia Family is going to be arrogant again.” “Alright, as long as the Xia Family doesn’t go overboard, just endure it.”
“They’re not overboard? In the past few years, what has the Xia Family not done overboard?”
“The Xia Family is indeed getting more and more arrogant. But, we should still endure it for now.”
“You guys sure are patient, but I’m about to lose it.”
“If you can’t help it, what can you do? Annihilate the Xia Family and lure that person to come and kill us all?”
“Hmph!”
Silence returned to the vehicle.
The good mood immediately vanished.
All of them recovered their indifferent expressions.
Qinghe City.
In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul descended from the sky and enjoyed the first ray of sunlight that shone on him.
Gentle sunlight would make one feel comfortable.
Yet when it landed on the Essence Soul’s body, it felt as if it was being pricked by a dense array of needles.
That instant of pain and continuous pain made Su Jingxing hurriedly control the Essence Soul to return to his physical body and enter his sea of consciousness. After a while, the pain in his soul slowly disappeared.
“How is this possible? The Essence Soul can’t see sunlight?”
