According to the map's indication, the first area chosen was the Northeast. The label for the Northeast region shone brightly in his mind like a flame, yet Ye Feng furrowed his brow in concern. Feeling uneasy about the map's orientation, a bad feeling arose within him.
Lan Yuanfeng noticed the change in his expression and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there something going on?"
Ye Feng, interrupted from his thoughts, paused for a moment but quickly replied, "It's nothing. Just follow me."
Despite his words, Lan Yuanfeng found his complex expression puzzling. Unbeknownst to him, Ye Feng had discovered that one of the hidden locations marked by Haotian Shura True Monarch was located in the Northeast area he had chosen.
According to the True Lord's Avatar's words and the map's guidance, there were four such exceptionally dangerous points. At that time, the True Lord's warning had been vague; he simply advised Ye Feng not to go there. However, now that Ye Feng realized he had been deceived on many details,
he instinctively began to look at those four different danger points and ultimately discovered a terrifying truth! These four points were precisely located at the four corners mentioned by Lan Yuanfeng! If it were just one or two points, it could be understood as coincidence, but all four were involved!
There is no such thing as coincidence in this world! Something unusual must be amiss! Ye Feng dispelled the map from his mind; although his feet continued to move forward, his confidence had already diminished significantly.
Who was deceiving him? Lan Yuanfeng likely wasn't, but Haotian Shura True Monarch certainly was! Faced with this dilemma, Ye Feng felt stuck! Ultimately, driven by his desire for power, he made a reckless decision!
He decided to disregard the True Lord's Avatar's warnings! All he knew was that victory was within reach; after all, fortune favors the bold. Perhaps the location of the sealed array also contained numerous traps set to prevent others from interfering!
If this explanation held true, then both of their statements were not false; they might just be hiding something! Fortunately, the effect of Divine Soul bestowed by the True Lord was still active. With the help of Ice Spirit Soul, no mechanism could escape detection. The hidden points sensed through transcendent perception could be effectively resolved!
Throughout their journey, Ye Feng and Lan Yuanfeng did not encounter any crises. Soon enough, they entered the Northeast area of the Underground Palace. Before them lay a dark passageway. The only headache was that this passage branched out in multiple directions and seemed to have numerous twists and turns.
It felt like a maze! They soon found themselves deep within this labyrinth when Ye Feng suddenly stopped and muttered something under his breath. Lan Yuanfeng's face turned pale as he felt uncertain about what to do.
Ye Feng spoke solemnly: "The direction is correct; however, this maze is not on my map. It must be a fog set up by those who came before us. If we cannot break through it, we won't be able to find the location of the seal!"
Lan Yuanfeng was taken aback; he finally grasped the unexpected information revealed in Ye Feng's words. However, this fact was no longer surprising; what worried him more was what would happen if they couldn't find their way out of here!
At this moment, Ye Feng could no longer keep the secret of the map in his mind. He was simply frustrated to find that there were no accurate paths on the map; it was almost entirely missing. He realized he had not considered everything thoroughly, thinking that the map would change once they entered.
Little did he know that after walking for half a day, they still had not found a way out, and the map remained dim and lifeless. However, this confirmed to him that something was indeed hidden in this corner; otherwise, those who came before would not have gone to the trouble of setting up such a fog.
"Is this maze really that big, as you say? Is there really no chance of getting out?" Lan Yuanfeng asked tentatively.
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "The maze isn't particularly large, but its intricacies lie not in its size but in its clever use of interconnected pathways that can confuse one's sense of direction and lead one astray!" He had taken a risk entering because he thought the missing part of the map was small, but it turned out to be a mistake.
"Never mind, let's treat this like a dead horse being used as a live one! Stay close to me and don't get separated! I refuse to believe there's no way out!" Ye Feng declared with determination and immediately took action. Although Lan Yuanfeng felt this was unwise, he chose not to voice his concerns.
The interconnected passages were surrounded by dull gray walls. These walls, made of earth, were compacted tightly, seemingly impenetrable even by a needle. The top of the earthen walls was perfectly sealed; otherwise, Ye Feng and the others could have flown away.
Clearly, those who set up this fog-like maze had anticipated this point. Therefore, even though Ye Feng attempted to forcefully break through the maze's straight paths using his Martial Technique, he was astonished to discover that within those seemingly ordinary earthen walls lay some kind of confinement!
A flash of confinement runes illuminated the area, rendering Ye Feng's Martial Technique ineffective! At most, it produced a loud noise while the earthen walls remained intact. After exhausting himself with this foolish endeavor, he gave up and sat down on the ground with a face full of frustration.
Lan Yuanfeng sighed, thinking that youthful recklessness often leads one to believe they can accomplish anything when sometimes they end up achieving nothing at all! However, at that moment, he had no better ideas. In fact, it was already impressive that Ye Feng had managed to lead him away from the attacks of beasts.
Seeing Ye Feng looking so dejected, Lan Yuanfeng couldn't help but offer some words of encouragement: "There must be a way out; there is no wall that doesn't let wind through. With your abilities, young friend, Old Man believes you will find a way!"
These words were merely comforting platitudes and somewhat self-deceiving. Yet after hearing them, Ye Feng suddenly stood up with an astonished look at Lan Yuanfeng. Lan Yuanfeng felt uneasy under his gaze and forced a smile while thinking nervously about what Ye Feng was planning next.
"Wind! Wall! Of course! How did I not think of this? This maze might trap many powerful practitioners, but as long as one understands the principle of sound waves, it's as easy as child's play!" Ye Feng exclaimed excitedly!
Lan Yuanfeng still didn't understand and looked confused. Ye Feng quickly explained: "Lan Manor Master, try shouting loudly and then listen carefully for the Echo to see if anything changes!"
Lan Yuanfeng had lived for a hundred years, and upon hearing this, he immediately understood what he was thinking! He also showed an excited expression and said, "Are you saying that through Echo, we can discern the direction of the walls and find the exit?"
Ye Feng smiled; the answer was self-evident!
Lan Yuanfeng instantly became spirited, nodding his head. Facing a corner of the Passage, he shouted loudly! His voice was incredibly powerful, shaking the eardrums of those who heard it. The sound resonated through the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm using Vital Energy, carrying its own might!
Despite the pain in his eardrums, Ye Feng listened intently to the rhythm of the Echo bouncing off the walls! For an ordinary person, finding a way out this way would be nearly impossible because Echo reverberated endlessly, making it difficult to pinpoint an accurate location!
But cultivators were different! Their heightened senses made their five senses extremely sensitive, and with the use of Divine Consciousness, discerning where the Echo ultimately landed in an empty space was not difficult at all! It was just this seemingly simple shout that allowed Ye Feng to catch on to something!
"Turn left! Turn right! Then turn right again... go straight! We’ll get there!" Ye Feng exhaled deeply as he spoke!
Lan Yuanfeng looked at him in disbelief, unable to fathom how this could work. However, subsequent actions proved that Ye Feng was indeed remarkable! Following his guidance, they miraculously navigated out of the maze! What greeted their eyes was a square area!
In the center of the area, a flickering dim light danced like a sprite in their eyes! Excitement radiated from their pupils; they knew they had truly come to the right place!
Lan Yuanfeng couldn’t help but be drawn forward by the enchanting light ahead, instinctively continuing to walk! But Ye Feng suddenly grabbed him! The former thought that the latter wanted to hoard the treasure for himself! But in an instant, he heard his warning words!
"Don't be foolish! This place is not that simple!" Ye Feng retracted his excited gaze and looked around warily! His expression was genuinely serious, dispelling Lan Yuanfeng's dissatisfaction and doubts!
He knew that the other party wouldn’t deceive him in such a situation! He couldn’t help but whisper, "What’s wrong?"
Ye Feng replied softly, "Master of Lan Manor, based on your experience, do you think that a large formation requiring four formation eyes to suppress would merely conceal a small maze?"
His words awakened Lan Yuanfeng! Only then did he realize, feeling both grateful and confused! Ultimately, it transformed into a strong sense of vigilance as he observed his surroundings! At the same time, he said, "Then young friend, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Ye Feng sensed the Underground Palace in his mind, the location marked as a dangerous spot by the True Lord's Avatar was precisely where they stood. Although he did not yet know where the danger lay, he understood that if they recklessly moved forward, they would inevitably trigger some hidden mechanism!
"Let's throw a stone and see; I’m still not sure!" Ye Feng took a deep breath and said cautiously.
Lan Yuanfeng followed his suggestion. The stones were everywhere, and with a simple kick, one rolled several times on the ground before coming to a stop! It landed about fifty meters away from them without any effect; it remained just a stone.
He couldn't help but squint, wondering if they were being overly cautious.
Ye Feng also frowned in confusion. According to the normal course of events, it shouldn't be like this! They couldn't just stand there watching treasures right in front of them without daring to approach! Thus, under Lan Yuanfeng's insistence, they continued to move forward! However, each step felt as heavy as lead and painfully slow!
During this process, the surrounding environment remained eerily quiet, with only their breathing echoing in the oppressive silence.
But no matter how slow they moved, the path must eventually come to an end. They were getting closer to the dim light ahead! They felt like a lost boat in the ocean, and that light was akin to a lighthouse guiding lost souls!
With excitement mixed with unease, they trudged toward that lovely yet hazy lighthouse, inching closer and closer! Their breathing began to quicken! Yet suddenly, for some unknown reason, their breaths came to an abrupt halt!
Ye Feng barely had time to ask Lan Yuanfeng why he had stopped because he found himself unable to move as well! His gaze seemed to be drawn elsewhere! In his line of sight appeared some incredible scenes!
