White Lantern Maze: A Unique Way Forward

At the end of the corridor is a wide square.

When Xiao Chen came to the square, the place had returned to its calm appearance.

But there are a lot of broken Magical Artifact Fragments on the ground, all kinds of messy Magic Trace, and the smell of blood is floating in the air.

They all declare that this place is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Strange, it doesn't look like he's fighting a demon cultivator."

Xiao Chen As he walked, he observed the traces around him.

There is no special aura belonging to Devil Cultivation Method here, so there is a high probability that there is some kind of trap possessed by the Yellow Springs Palace itself.

Sure enough, when he came to the middle of the square, White Lantern suddenly lit up in all directions.

These lanterns appeared out of thin air, with white candles burning inside.

Adding up the front, back, left, and right, there are twelve in total, and each one has the eye-catching word "kill" written on it.

There was obviously no wind, but it floated towards him swayingly.

"Blazing Sky of Rosy Clouds."

Xiao Chen Seeing this, he calmly flicked his sleeves, and twenty-seven red clouds came out from his sleeves and stopped in front of him.

As soon as the lantern came into contact, Crimson Flame Rosy Cloud bloomed and burned it completely.

But at the same time, a new lantern appeared not far away, one after another.

"Is this another method of recovery?"

Xiao Chen saw this and gave up the attack. Instead, he sped up a little and ran towards the main hall on the opposite side of the square.

Logically speaking, as long as you leave here in time, the white lantern should disappear on its own just like the previous dummy.

The entire square is only 333 feet long, and he has already walked half of it.

At the speed of Golden Light Shrinking Earth, it only takes a few breaths.

However, Xiao Chen ran a few steps forward and immediately realized that something was wrong.

He was actually still in the middle of the square, and he was standing in the middle of the Blazing Sunset he had spilled.

Huh?

What is going on?

He tried to take a step forward, but found no problem.

I activated Golden Light Shrinking Earth again, only to find that a new glow broke out in front of my eyes, and I actually stayed where I was.

"Not allowed to fly? Or not allowed to run?"

Xiao Chen frowned and simply walked forward step by step.

He soon discovered that as long as he kept a normal pace, he could move forward smoothly.

And once you want to speed up, the space under your feet will be stretched indefinitely.

And whether you are moving forward or backward, you need to follow this rule.

For the other monks, this is undoubtedly bad news.

Not only do the nearby lanterns have a constant source of light, but ordinary attacks are not enough to break them. If your cultivation level is lower, you will have to frequently release Law Technique to resist.

In fact, just three days ago, at least half of the monks who came to the square stayed here forever.

Their flesh and blood was absorbed by the ground of the square, leaving only the broken Magical Artifact Fragments.

Many of the remaining people relied on strength in numbers to get through safely.

Especially on the third day when there were the most monks, the entire square was almost filled with dissolved blood, which looked like Human World Hell.

But when it was Xiao Chen's turn, the situation was completely different.

Considering that there were no outsiders here anyway, he directly called out Mystic Fire Crow, whom he had not seen for a long time.

With the large supply of Flame Light Spirit Sand regardless of cost, this Law Technique has successively reached three new realms: Limit Breaking, Tianhuo, and Adding Feathers.

Now, not only has the total number increased to ten thousand, but each Fire Crow has a small ball of Luo Tian Sacred Fire burning on its head.

At the same time, if you look closely, you can also find three extra feathers on their tails.

Each one is shining with cold light, ready to go.

With this large group of Mystic Fire Crow surrounding Xiao Chen, even the twelve lanterns were burned into ashes as soon as they were born, let alone getting close.

The entire square was filled with the orange-red light of Luo Tian Sacred Fire.

From a distance, it looks like a red carpet has been laid out to welcome the arrival of Xiao Chen.

"It's a pity that this Law Technique seems to have no follow-up. It will probably be eliminated after forming a pill in the future."

"Otherwise, it would be so impressive to go out with so many Mystic Fire Crow."

But this thought only passed by for a moment.

Xiao Chen actually doesn't take this aspect very seriously. It would be great if Law Technique can be more popular, but practicality will still be the first consideration.

Which Law Technique is the most powerful, he will choose which Law Technique.

After coming out of the square, White Lantern actually stopped.

In front of it is a palace with an open door, inside which you can see strands of pitch-black demonic energy flowing.

It was just blocked by an invisible barrier at the entrance of the temple, preventing it from flowing outside.

Slowly entering the hall, the demonic energy around him felt the breath of strangers, like a pan of oil splashed with water droplets, and suddenly started to boil.

It quickly rushed towards Xiao Chen, trying to infect his Law Power and assimilate him.

It is very simple to deal with this situation, just use the most basic Golden Light Art.

As a faint layer of Golden Light completely enveloped him, the surrounding demonic energy suddenly lost its target.

Even if the demonic energy touched Golden Light, it was repelled to the side and could not invade Xiao Chen's body at all.

However, the strong demonic energy still brought many problems, such as blocking the monk's Divine Sense and line of sight, and constantly consuming Golden Light on the body's surface.

To maintain Golden Light Art, just a little bit of Law Power is needed.

It is not a burden to Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

However, this corrosive characteristic hides a hidden danger, that is, in places with abundant demonic energy, Spell Power will also be greatly suppressed.

Xiao Chen turned over his right hand, and a large ball of Spirit Fire appeared in the palm of his hand.

Then he casually threw it inside, and under the influence of the demonic energy, the Spirit Fire, which was originally as big as a millstone, began to shrink rapidly.

After flying out less than ten feet, it became like a walnut, and was quickly consumed.

And the further you go into the palace, the stronger the demonic energy around you becomes.

The distance that Xiao Chen can see clearly becomes shorter and shorter. It gradually changes from about ten feet away at the beginning to only about ten feet away.

Once this distance is exceeded, it becomes pitch black and nothing can be seen clearly.

If we hadn't found a winding corridor at the beginning, we might have gotten lost.

However, due to the demonic energy blocking the vision.

At the beginning, almost no one could realize that they had entered a maze unknowingly.

But this does not include the magic repair of the Divine Fire Sect.

With Devil Cultivation Method, they naturally have ways to rely on or utilize the demonic energy, and the impact they will suffer will be much smaller.

And unlike the Zhengdao side, I mistakenly thought this place was a ruins at first.

Divine Fire Sect's magic cultivation is all prepared.

After entering the maze from the other side of the Yellow Springs Palace, their action goal was very clear.

Some people took the initiative to stay in the maze, and with the help of the cover of demonic energy, began to search and hunt Righteous Cultivator.

Another group of elites quickly looked for an exit and rushed inside the mausoleum to collect Sha Qi.

.

A large number of monks who entered Yellow Springs Palace for the purpose of treasure hunting unknowingly became prey of the devil.

In five consecutive days of bloody strangulation, more than 30% of the monks were directly killed.

Only less than 10% of the masters or lucky people have successfully found a way out.

As many as 60% of the remaining monks temporarily resisted the ambush by holding together, but they were also surrounded.

Not only are you trapped in the maze and can't find the exit, but you also have to beware of Law Technique or Law Artifact that may appear from all directions at any time.

After gradually realizing this, the magic cultivators of the Divine Fire Sect also began to unite.

Eat the team with fewer people and harass the team with more people.

Du Mingjie was trapped in the maze at this time.

Fortunately, he followed Yang Huai'an closely, and his safety was temporarily guaranteed.

As one of Demon Slayer Guard, Yang Huai'an has extremely good combat power even under the interference of demonic energy, and quickly gathered more monks.

But because he had to take care of these people, he himself was trapped in the maze and could not find a way out.

And as time goes by.

The number of demon cultivators hidden in the surrounding darkness seems to be increasing.

In fact, even the other monks in their team were aware of this.

Everyone had been harassed in the dark for several days, and they were tired and confused.

Feeling the deterioration of the environment at this time, everyone's expressions became tense and uneasy.

Yang Huai'an also quickly noticed everyone's low mood and comforted them, "Fellow Daoists, please cheer up. We are not far from the exit now."

"As long as you persist, you can get out of the maze."

"When there is no interference from the demonic energy, those Divine Fire Sect beasts will never dare to come and die."

However, his words received only a scant response.

And there was clearly a hint of weakness in his tone.

Due to the Divine Fire Sect's interference, they not only had no rest for five consecutive days, but also had many battles with demon cultivators in the dark during the process, which consumed a lot of energy.

The enemies are also Foundation Establishment, so you have to go all out in every battle.

Even if I can rotate it after a few days, I will almost be overwhelmed.

Yang Huai'an saw this and was anxious in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

He was also under a lot of pressure because he found that he actually couldn't find an exit at all.

The marks that were placed along the way seemed to have been tampered with by the demonic cultivators in the darkness.

Although the other party accidentally drew something sloppy once.

But the problem is that there are counterfeit marks everywhere now.

Moreover, Yang Huai'an doesn't know when the other party started to forge marks.

Coupled with the fact that there was no reference for the demonic energy barrier, he had no way to tell clearly which ones were real and which ones were fake.

"Ah!"

Suddenly a scream sounded from the side.

"Pfft~!"

Then there was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh.

"I'll fight with you!"

Then there was a shout, followed by a violent tremor of demonic energy nearby, as if something exploded not far away.

But in the end, everything calmed down.

"Boom!"

Yang Huai'an punched the wall with anger in his eyes, but more of helplessness.

Judging from the reaction of the demonic energy, he was only three feet away from the opponent at most.

But there was a thick wall between the two of them, separating them.

These walls are all cast from spiritual minerals and can be either thin or thick.

Even a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection like Yang Huai'an would need at least two moves to open a gap against the thinnest wall.

If you want to expand it enough to pass through, you have to add two more moves.

Faced with such a thick wall, it would be impossible to demolish it in less than a quarter of an hour.

Even if he wanted to go over and save people, he couldn't do anything.

"Boom~!"

There was another loud noise.

Yang Huai'an The wall in front of him shook.

Huh?

What's going on?

He was suddenly startled. Someone on the opposite side was trying to destroy the wall!

Hasn't he been mutilated by the demon cultivator?

That's not right, it's already this time, what's the use of smashing the wall?

At this moment, Yang Huai'an had several thoughts in his mind.

But he didn't have time to think too much, so he took a step back and prepared to cooperate with the other side to penetrate the thick wall.

In such darkness, even if we can find one more new face, it will bring a certain improvement to our own morale.

The greater the number of people, the greater the confidence and courage of everyone.

However, before Yang Huai'an could take action, the wall in front of him suddenly collapsed.

Fortunately, he took a step back, otherwise he might have been hit on the head by the flying debris.

"Hey, Daoist Yang, why are you still here?"

A familiar voice sounded.

Then a thin figure came over and gradually revealed the face of Xiao Chen.

"Daoist Xiao, why are you here?"

Yang Huai'an was confused at that time. Who was the person who screamed just now?

It can't be some unlucky demon cultivator who wants to ambush Xiao Chen.

"Daoist Xiao!"

Du Mingjie rushed forward excitedly. "It's really you, that's great."

He was just standing behind, and could only hear movement in front but couldn't see anyone.

But when I heard the name Yang Huai'an, I immediately determined the identity of the person coming.

After all, there are actually relatively few people with the surname Xiao, and there is only one person who can be addressed by Yang Huai'an in a respectful tone.

"Daoist Du is here too, what a coincidence."

Xiao Chen is also very happy to see an acquaintance. Now he wants to know about the situation inside the Yellow Springs Palace.

Secondly, walking alone in a dark maze is boring, so having a companion is much better.

"Daoist Xiao, I thought you had gone treasure hunting inside."

Yang Huai'an finally relaxed, and suddenly felt hope in his heart. "Please ask fellow Daoist to lead us out of this maze."

At this time, the monks from behind also came over and looked at Xiao Chen excitedly.

"It's really Wind Thunder Sword Daoist Xiao is here, we are saved."

"Great, now those damn demon cultivators shouldn't dare to come over and harass us."

"Daoist Xiao, we met once on Flying Boat, but we didn't expect to meet here. Please, fellow Daoist, lead us out of this maze together."

"Don't make any noise! Don't crowd!"

A group of people gathered around and shouted, but the mixed sounds made it difficult to hear them all.

Yang Huai'an shouted quickly, but his voice of advice was directly drowned.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen began to persuade, "Fellow Daoists, please be quiet for a moment and let me say a few words to Daoist Yang first."

When he said this, the people in front immediately became quiet.

After repeating the words, the shouts from behind also disappeared.

Later Xiao Chen learned that there were actually thirty-five monks gathered here.

At the same time, I also learned about some of the current situation.

This time not only Spirit Origin Sect came out in full force, but also a large number of monks from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley and Azure Sky Sect came to the Yellow Springs Palace.

It's just that now it's separated by a maze, and I don't know how many people are still alive.

.

"Boom!"

A wall collapsed.

Then Xiao Chen walked out first, followed by Du Mingjie and the other monks.

Everyone lined up in an orderly manner and passed through the gap one by one.

Yang Huai'an took the initiative to stay at the back of the team to prevent any demonic cultivators from attacking.

The previous exchanges turned into complaints.

Xiao Chen Apart from learning that many monks were killed in the previous levels, he actually did not obtain any valuable information.

But he didn't mind being a guide by the way, since he had to get out of the maze himself anyway.

And smashing the wall was the fastest way he came up with to get out of here.

After discovering that this place was a maze, Xiao Chen chose a direction at random and walked straight ahead.

No matter how thick the wall was along the way, I would beat it to pieces with a pair of fists.

With the help of <Nine-Strength Mountain Moving Method>, his demolition efficiency was very high.

Basically, three or four punches can open a hole large enough for people to pass through.

At first Yang Huai'an actually wanted to persuade me.

This is a waste of energy and can easily cause trouble if you encounter an enemy midway.

But when he saw that Xiao Chen punched through the wall, he consciously closed his mouth and took the initiative to break the wall behind.

With Yang Huai'an's eyesight, he can naturally see that this is definitely the foundation of Body Cultivator.

And his cultivation level is still very high, it has definitely reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

He is Pseudo-Core, and he is proficient in escape skills, but he is also Body Cultivator. What a monster.

Fortunately, this monster is one of our own, otherwise the whole group of people present might not be enough to fight him alone.

With a unique propulsion method like Xiao Chen, it is no longer difficult to determine the direction.

On the way, some demon cultivators heard the sound and came over to stop them.

But when they saw Xiao Chen hitting a wall with two punches from a distance, and then looking down at their small body, they all stopped silently.

If you go up and stop him, he will die immediately, right?

Of course, there are not those who are more courageous demon cultivators, especially those who are already red-blooded.

In the past few days, with the help of demonic energy, he can easily crush monks of the same level.

When I saw Xiao Chen at this time, I felt that I could go up and try to harass him.

Then I really experienced the power of Wind Thunder Pair Swords.

At a distance of thirty feet, the power of Sword Light will be weakened to only half at most.

But originally Seven Stars Swordplay was quite powerful, not to mention that Xiao Chen had just absorbed the scales of Amethyst Python and Golden Eagle Crown Feather, and had a new understanding of Way of Wind and Thunder.

Even if it is only half of the power, it is definitely not something that ordinary monks can withstand.

The two swords were slashed together, Thunder Sword broke the armor, and Wind Sword owl's head.

Try it and you'll die.

After killing a few demon cultivators who couldn't carry themselves, the rest of the demon cultivators who were watching silently fled quickly under the cover of demonic energy.

Anyway, the maze is very big, at worst they can just say they didn't encounter Xiao Chen afterwards.

Why do you have to take the initiative to rush forward and die?

When it comes to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, most demonic cultivators have great experience.

It just so happened that the people who stayed here and were responsible for the ambush were all ordinary believers, while the real elite demon cultivators went to collect Sha Qi in the mausoleum.

Therefore, during the entire second half of the journey, the team did not encounter any harassment from demon cultivators.

He even saved another group of monks by the way.

"Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!"

Xiao Chen punched three times in a row and finally opened a gap in front of the last wall.

"Boom!"

Then a large section of the wall collapsed, and a large amount of debris flew out.

This directly startled Lan Nianqin who was resting around him.

Xiao Chen When he walked out of the big cave, he saw that this was already the interior of another palace.

No wonder the wall just now was a foot thick and required him to punch it thirty times.

It turns out that I went in the wrong direction, and the exit of the maze is not here at all.

But it doesn't matter, now the maze has an extra exit.

"Xiao...Daoist Xiao?"

Lan Nianqin rubbed his eyes in disbelief to confirm that he had seen the right person. "Why are you here?"

Then the question felt a bit silly, "No, I mean, how did you come out of the wall?"

Xiao Chen blinked and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lan, why are you here?"

However, Lan Nianqin was dumbfounded when he saw the large number of monks filing out behind him.

It took a while to explain clearly that she had met Nine Feet Staff Zhu Hui by chance before and had exited the maze three days ago.

It's just that she is timid and knows that she cannot win against those masters.

So instead of going to Main Mausoleum along the avenue outside the exit, I came to the side hall to pick up the leak.

Xiao Chen immediately became energetic. "Friend Lan, where is Main Mausoleum?"

"If it's convenient, can you take me to the exit of the maze?"

Lan Nianqin shook his head and stretched out his hand. "Daoist Xiao, could you please wait a moment? I will be able to open this Guardian Restriction soon."

"When I get this Law Artifact, I will help you lead the way."

Xiao Chen looked in the direction of her finger and saw an emerald green light mask, upside down on a stone platform.

Below is a delicate ribbon, which seems to be some kind of Sacrificial Artifact.

At this time, next to the photomask, a furry Treasure Seeking Rat was struggling to crack the Guardian Restriction on the stone platform.

Xiao Chen glanced at Lan Nianqin in surprise.

Unexpectedly, she actually raised Spirit Beast, and it seemed that the grade was not low, and she seemed to have Foundation Establishment Stage 6.

But when she thought about it carefully, she realized that her own Cultivation Method had no future.

If you can cultivate a powerful Spirit Beast, it is indeed a way to improve your overall combat power.

And Spirit Beast like Treasure Seeking Rat can also play an additional role.

It's just that the efficiency is a little low. It seems that it will take at least half a day to open the ban.

"Bang!"

Xiao Chen stepped forward and punched the stone platform.

The restriction immediately fell apart like ceramics, and the stone platform below also collapsed in half.

"Squeak!"

Treasure Seeking Rat below immediately screamed and jumped up from the ground.

With a little help from Lan Nianqin's arm, it penetrated into her chest.

Well, it seems that Spirit Beast may not necessarily improve combat power, at least not for someone so timid.

Xiao Chen picked up the ribbon from the ground and handed it over directly. "Friend Lan, here it is."

"Now that the ban is over, can you help me lead the way if it's convenient?"

Lan Nianqin looked at the collapsed restriction, then turned to look at the collapsed wall.

His face suddenly turned pale and he didn't even dare to take the ribbon. "Daoist Xiao Please follow me."

Xiao Chen quickly stopped her. "Fellow Daoist Lan, put the ribbon away first."

"I just want to save some time, don't get me wrong."

After saying it twice, Lan Nianqin accepted the ribbon hesitantly.

Under her leadership, it only took half an hour for the group to arrive at the real exit of the maze.

There is indeed a wide avenue here, leading to Main Mausoleum at the rear.
