"Damn this crappy maze."
"When will it ever end?"
On the way.
Yi Feng grumbled.
It seemed he recalled the fear he felt in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, with that Yun Yaoyao, in that secret realm maze.
Back then.
If it wasn't for his stash of beef jerky, he probably would have starved to death by now.
Therefore, having no idea when he would finally get out, Yi Feng began preparing in advance.
Thus, whenever he encountered a yāo shòu yě shòu (dire beasts), he just stuffed them all in.
Moreover, to maintain fresh flavors and ensure he could eat fresh food later, instead of killing these little critters right away, he captured them alive, tying up their limbs and tossing them into his Space Ring.
That way.
If he couldn't get out in a short time, he could still ensure his quality of life.
In the heart of the Third Level training ground of the Sacred Mountain Palace.
Zeng Xian at the forefront had already communicated with the array core and took out the exclusive Jade Tablet to control the Sacred Mountain Palace.
His aura was already fluctuating at this moment.
"Ancestor, since we can pool everyone's strength to fully activate the array, why not do the same to close it? This way, we can definitely enter the Second Level to find him, and even learn what happened to Ancestor Deng Chao!" Luo Yuan asked beside him.
"Hmph, do you really think that after the array is activated, it can be closed just like that?"
"With your abilities, you don't have that power."
Zeng Xian said with a gloomy expression.
Apparently.
The construction of the Sacred Mountain Palace was considered from all angles.
So there is a mechanism where it's relatively easy to open but difficult to close.
Otherwise, if a real crisis happens and not enough people are around, wouldn't this Sacred Mountain Palace be useless?
"But, but if it's really opened, could Ancestor Deng Chao be in danger?"
Wang Yiyun couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, if the array is activated, Old Deng inside will sense it, and as long as he doesn't act rashly, it won't affect him." Zeng Xian said: "Besides, Old Deng has a Transmission Jade Tablet, he can teleport out anytime."
While explaining, Zeng Xian glanced at the River Map and saw Yi Feng approaching another Guardian Spirit Beast, his urgency rising.
"What are you standing around for? Start your cultivation and assist me in activating the array!"
Zeng Xian couldn't help but shout.
Seeing this, the others didn't dare to delay, quickly activating their immortal energy and directing it towards Zeng Xian at the center.
Enormous power converged into one, with Zeng Xian at the core, merging into the array core of the Sacred Mountain Palace.
In an instant.
The entire Sacred Mountain Palace resonated with earth-shaking noises.
The Palace's full array—Activated!
In the passageway of the Second Level, countless killing arrays, illusion arrays, concealment arrays, and auxiliary arrays simultaneously activated. Various mechanisms were also on standby.
Under such an arrangement, the entire Second Level was fraught with peril.
Anything that triggered an array or mechanism would face a series of deadly attacks.
This wasn't all.
All the contracted demon beasts of the Second Level would be awakened.
Not only did their nests reside here, but they themselves were part of the mechanisms. That is, after being awakened, they would not be attacked by the Second Level's arrays and mechanisms.
At the same time.
They would directly enter hunt mode, searching for prey.
Exterminate all living beings in the entire Second Level.
Under such an arrangement, anyone entering here would have no chance of survival. After all, the Sacred Mountain Palace itself was the Heavenly Tyrant Sect's trump card, so it definitely had something to it.
Originally, Zeng Xian bore no grudge against Yi Feng, and he harbored no killing intent towards him.
On the contrary, sending Deng Chao to test him was with the intention of recruiting Yi Feng as a subordinate.
However.
He never expected this kid to be so damn infuriating.
Guardian Spirit Beasts were being annihilated left and right.
If he didn't do something, all the demon beasts of his Heavenly Tyrant Sect would be wiped out.
After the complete activation of the Sacred Mountain Palace, everyone on the Third Level focused their gaze on the River Map.
They saw.
Yi Feng, who was originally moving, had stopped.
Seeing this.
Zeng Xian's lips curled slightly.
So that's it?
Run away.
Try to run away some more!
Aren't you quite good at turning around? Let's see how you do that now.
With the Sacred Mountain Palace activated, can't you barely even move, stuck in place?
Thinking about those vanished mounts and guardian beasts, Zeng Xian felt particularly vindicated.
However.
He didn't know that.
At this moment, Yi Feng was complaining about the uncleanliness of his setup and found a spot to squat down.
Can't move?
Not possible.
Array?
Yi Feng didn't even notice it.
Defecating...
Is the way to go!
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
