Gu Beiyue followed Long Fei Ye's directions and arrived at the exit of the tree hole in no time.
He brought the unconscious Tang Li out of the tree hole and returned to help. Little Yu 'er was exhausted and Fourth Miss Ren was also exhausted.
As soon as Gu Beiyue came down, Gu seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly carried Little Yu 'er away, leaving Fourth Miss Ren to Gu Beiyue. There was still a long way to go from the underground palace to the entrance of the tree hole. Gu really didn't want to carry an unfamiliar woman and fly up.
Gu Beiyue and Fourth Miss Ren would never have thought of this.
"Fourth Miss Ren, please excuse me. Shall I carry you up?" Gu Beiyue was humble even though he was the academy's director.
Fourth Miss Ren's heart was already beating wildly as she carefully laid on his back.
Unfortunately, he was already at the entrance of the tree hole before she could even feel his warmth. His body was warm. However, his speed didn't give off any warmth.
Once he put her down, everything would be over.
Guarding the entrance of the tree hole were a group of poison guards led by Xu Donglin, female mercenaries, and a dozen Driving Arrow Archers personally led by Chu Tianyin. The Chu Clan Army had been wiped out in Western Zhou and Chu Tianyin was only left with these Driving Arrow Archers.
"What's going on? Where are His Highness and the princess? "Xu Donglin hurriedly asked.
"What's wrong with Tang Li?" Chu Tianyin also came forward.
"The situation in the underground palace is very complicated. Ning Jing died in the sea of fire and Tang Li's situation … is not optimistic. Xu Donglin, you have to keep a close eye on him. If you can't, tie him up and inform the Tang Sect to come over. Remember! " Gu Beiyue instructed seriously. "Also, send someone to escort Fourth Miss Ren and Little Yu 'er back. Little Yu' er's internal injuries need immediate treatment."
Xu Donglin was stunned. "Miss Jing …"
Gu Beiyue and Gu had no time to waste. Gu Beiyue said seriously, "Everyone, stay alert. Bai Yanqing is very likely to escape!"
"Don't worry! We will definitely guard it well! "Chu Tianyin replied seriously.
Xu Donglin supported Tang Li with a sad face, but he nodded seriously. "Yes, sir!"
Gu and Gu Beiyue were just about to leave when Fourth Young Miss Ren reminded them in a hurry, "Academy Head Beiyue, let's replenish some water and rations, just in case! The princess is pregnant, she can't go hungry. "
This was a good reminder. The Shadow Guard hurriedly brought over some food and water. The big bag of food was not heavy, but the two pots of water were very heavy.
However, Gu glanced at it and was very dissatisfied. "Not enough, not enough! Bring three more bags of rations and two more pots of water. I want big pots! It's best if it's hot! "
Fourth Young Miss Ren hesitated. "If it's too heavy, won't it affect you …"
"What are you blabbering on about? Hurry up!" Gu said unhappily.
Xu Donglin immediately ordered people to bring over the items. Gu thought for a moment, then said, "Do you have bamboo baskets? Bring one over, quick! "
The Shadow Guards who were guarding here were also eating dry rations, which were carried over in a few bamboo baskets. Xu Donglin personally went to find one.
Gu was overjoyed. He crouched on the ground and packed the rations with a serious expression. He stuffed all the rations into the bamboo baskets and put the water pots on top. He tied the baskets securely and carried them on his back. When he saw that Xu Donglin had a large horn-shaped water pot on his back, he snatched it over and slung it over his shoulder.
This guy had forgotten that he was still wearing underclothes and was covered in wounds!
Gu Beiyue couldn't stand it anymore. He asked a Shadow Guard, who was about the same size as Gu, to take off his outer robe and put it on Gu.
Gu seemed to be able to carry the heavy basket of rations effortlessly. In fact, he was very happy.
He shouted, "Brothers, just you wait! When we kidnap Bai Yanqing, everyone will give him a stab each! "
The two of them returned to the maze. At this time, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were almost out of the maze and had found the cliff exit.
Gu and Gu Beiyue followed the secret signal left by Long Fei Ye and successfully met up with them.
"Your Highness, Princess, we've successfully sent them out," Gu Beiyue reported seriously.
Gu passed the water pot to Han Yunxi. "It's hot!"
"Thanks!" Han Yunxi was indeed thirsty.
Long Fei Ye glanced at the bamboo basket of rations on his back and didn't say anything.
"There's natural light in front. It should be the exit. Everyone, be careful, "Han Yunxi said seriously.
She and Long Fei Ye had already searched all the nearby passages that could lead to the exit, but they didn't see Bai Yanqing.
Perhaps Bai Yanqing was waiting in front.
However, when the four of them carefully walked over, they still didn't see Bai Yanqing.
Where was he?
After saving Little Yu 'er, they came down quickly and didn't waste too much time. Could it be that Bai Yanqing discovered something?
"There's no movement outside. He must still be in the maze!" Long Fei Ye said.
"If it were me, I would also stay in the maze!" Gu said casually.
Indeed, the maze was filled with mechanisms. Bai Yanqing was familiar with it, but they weren't. Bai Yanqing would only be able to take advantage of it if they stayed here.
"What's this maze used for? What's with the sea of fire just now?" Han Yunxi was curious. There was no maze in the underground palace of Monarch Descent Mountain!
These words reminded Long Fei Ye. He said in a low voice, "Bai Yanqing is very familiar with the mechanisms here. How did he know?"
There were rules to follow in the Beehive Maze, but the mechanisms and secret passages hidden in the maze couldn't be found. As long as the distribution of the mechanisms and secret passages didn't conflict with each other, it could be done as one wished.
Bai Yanqing was so familiar with the mechanisms and secret passages here. He even knew about the sound amplification stone. Did he find it himself, or did someone tell him?
"He needs the blueprint." Gu Beiyue said seriously.
"Then the blueprint should be with him. We still have to think of a way to find him. "Han Yunxi said helplessly.
Bai Yanqing was probably very far away from them. She tried for a long time, but couldn't sense the little thing's presence.
Gu said, "Why don't we do this? We'll search from this exit. After we've searched every passage, we'll destroy the passageways and stone rooms! I don't believe that we won't be able to force him out! "
What a … willful way of doing things!
Long Fei Ye rolled his eyes. Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue couldn't help but roll their eyes as well.
These passageways and stone rooms couldn't be destroyed casually. If they triggered a mechanism that they didn't know about, they wouldn't be able to trick Lao Bai, and they would end up trapping themselves instead. When that happened, wouldn't Bai Yanqing laugh at them?
Gu Beiyue hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "Your Highness, Princess, this place is dangerous after all. The matter of dual cultivation is still delayed. If we're trapped in a secret passage, everything will be in vain. Why don't we … "
Gu Beiyue didn't finish his sentence, but Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi understood.
Bai Yanqing didn't leave. He must be hiding in the maze waiting for them.
Although the hostages had been rescued and they didn't have anything to worry about, Bai Yanqing still had the upper hand in the current situation. Bai Yanqing was very familiar with this maze. If they were trapped in a secret room and couldn't make it in time for dual cultivation, then it would be too late for regrets.
Instead of going inside to search, it was better to wait outside. The two of them could first complete their dual cultivation and then waste time with Bai Yanqing.
Even if it took a year or so, they weren't afraid!
"What's more, Princess's delivery date is about the same as the duration of dual cultivation. If we delay any longer, Princess may not be able to subdue Mo Xie's sword spirit." Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Dual cultivation only required one night. Long Fei Ye was the main cultivator, and Han Yunxi was only an assistant, so it wasn't strenuous. However, subduing Mo Xie's sword spirit and guiding Mo Xie's sword spirit to a newly forged treasure sword was a difficult task.
These words made Han Yunxi realize that she had to think carefully about this problem.
Gu, on the other hand, had a relaxed expression. He chuckled and said, "The three of you stand guard outside. I'll deal with him alone!"
To say that Gu was smart, Gu was really smart. To say that he was stupid, he wasn't stupid, but he lacked a memory. Long Fei Ye and the other two didn't even roll their eyes at him. They simply ignored him.
This guy must have forgotten how he was trapped in the secret room where he was cut to pieces. If they hadn't found that place, he would have spent the rest of his immortal life in that dark pit.
"Let's go out first. Dual cultivation is more important." Long Fei Ye was very decisive.
Han Yunxi didn't have any objections. She glanced into the dark tunnel, and then walked out with Long Fei Ye.
Gu seemed unwilling and unwilling. He hugged his arms and leaned against the wall. The bamboo basket on his back was against the wall, making him very uncomfortable. He shifted his position. Who knew that when the bamboo basket slid across the wall, it would make a strange sound.
Han Yunxi and the others immediately turned to look. Gu was also shocked.
This sound didn't sound like bamboo slid across stone at all. Instead, it sounded like …
Gu hurriedly shifted a few more times. This time, everyone heard it clearly.
"There's a mystery!"
Gu Beiyue strode over and touched the stone wall. At first, he didn't feel anything, but after knocking a few times, he immediately found something strange.
"This isn't a stone wall!" Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Long Fei Ye knocked and pressed lightly. He found that this stone wall was the same as the wordless stele on the altar. It was made of imitation stone and wasn't a real stone wall.
He took down the entire piece of stone and saw that it was a round Xuan Gold wall embedded in the stone wall.
"It doesn't look like a mechanism?" Gu muttered.
"Yes, it doesn't look like a mechanism. It looks like … it looks like a secret room to hide things." Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Long Fei Ye searched for a long time, but couldn't find a mechanism to open the Xuan Gold wall. He looked at Han Yunxi.
Gu Beiyue also looked at her. "Princess, I'll have to trouble you to try."
Previously, the Xuan Gold door in the Sky Pit was opened by Han Yunxi's blood. This small Xuan Gold door in front of them might have to be opened using the old method.
Han Yunxi immediately bit her finger and used her blood to lightly smear on the Xuan Gold door. The bloodstains disappeared in an instant.
"It's absorbed!" Gu was overjoyed.
Han Yunxi waited anxiously. Sure enough, the round Xuan Gold door gradually started to turn. But, the Xuan Gold door didn't open. Instead, as it turned, some parts of the Xuan Gold disc started to sink and some parts started to protrude.
Han Yunxi and the others crowded around to watch. They didn't understand what was going on.
But, as they watched, they were gradually shocked. As the Xuan Gold disc protruded and sank, an exquisite small model gradually formed in front of their eyes.
This was a model of a maze!
