Outside the city, the people of Tianji Clan, Yao, and Fu Yueni were still standing in place. The people of Tianji Clan were discussing the troubles Lu An would encounter after entering the maze, while Yao and Fu Yueni did not say anything and only watched worriedly.
"How long do you think it will take for him to come out?" someone asked.
"Come out?" Another person sneered and said, "You still think he can come out? From the time this maze was built until now, have you ever seen anyone come out the first time they entered? Didn't they enter multiple times and advance a little each time, slowly accumulating experience before finally leaving? "
"That's right." Another person nodded and said in a low voice, "Moreover, the threshold of this maze is very high. Even a Heaven Realm expert needs to cultivate for a few hundred years before they can enter. Even Xu Wei hasn't entered yet. There are many obstacles inside that require movement techniques and perception, and even strength to contend against. I don't believe this Lu An can go far. "
"I'm guessing he can't even pass the first obstacle."
"Me too. The first obstacle is already very difficult. Back then, I was stuck at the first obstacle. I don't believe this Lu An can comprehend the principles on his own. "
Not long after, one of them walked to Chu Zhengji and Chu Xuan's side and said respectfully, "Clan Head and Madam, why don't you go back and rest for a while? This Lu An can't come out for a while. When he has a result, I'll immediately inform you two."
When Yao and Fu Yueni heard this, their brows tightly knitted, and they immediately turned their heads to look. The person who spoke was none other than Gao Chen, whom they met at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
"What does General Gao mean?" Yao spoke, her voice was not gentle at all. Instead, she said very coldly, "Clan Head Chu needs to ensure Lu An's safety. If something happens to Lu An, can you bear the responsibility?"
Yao's voice was very cold, and her tone was very heavy. She did not give any face to Tianji Clan. She had heard their conversation just now, which made her realize how difficult this maze was. Chu Zhengji had repeatedly made things difficult for Lu An, and Yao was really angry.
"…"
Gao Chen looked at Yao in shock. He did not expect this seemingly gentle young mistress of Sengoku to suddenly become so serious. He did not dare to say anything else. Not only him, even the other Tianji Clan members who were talking stopped abruptly. None of them spoke again.
Kind people would be bullied by others. This sentence was actually very reasonable. It was human nature.
Chu Zhengji did not expect that Yao would suddenly become so cold. Furthermore, Yao said these words in front of him, not giving him any face at all.
Chu Zhengji's brows furrowed slightly as he said. "Could it be that Young Patriarch Yao has no confidence in Young Master Lu?"
"Patriarch Chu, you don't have to provoke me." She looked at Chu Zhengji from afar, and her voice was just as cold. Her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness as she said, "If Clan Head Chu has no intention of cooperating, why don't you just reject him to the end? Why do you have to do this? If something really happens to Lu An inside, Sengoku will sever all ties with the Knowledge Star forever! "
"…"
Chu Zhengji and Chu Xuan were clearly shocked, not to mention the other clansmen. All of them stared at Yao with their mouths agape!
Fu Yueni was also looking at Yao. There was some surprise in her eyes, but she nodded with satisfaction in her heart.
Finally, Yao looked a little like the young master of Sengoku. If Ruo Yao didn't speak, then she would speak on behalf of the Young Master. This operation gave her a lot of power, but she had not used it yet.
The Divine Fate clansmen were shocked. They didn't expect Yao to say something like this. However, Yao was the young master of Sengoku. Her authority was second only to the Divine Master and Divine Empress. Her words were definitely not a joke, but were actually effective. Yao definitely had the qualifications to make Sengoku sever all ties with the Knowledge Star!
Chu Zhengji frowned. Until now, he had never heard of any great clan in the galaxy being severed by Sengoku. If Sengoku really did this, then the Divine Fate clan would be utterly humiliated!
They were abandoned by Sengoku, and they had rejected the Hachiko clan's invitation multiple times. Furthermore, Lu An was the husband of the young master of the Fu Clan. This meant that they had offended the Hachiko clan. If they offended the Hachiko clan and the four great clans at the same time, how could the Divine Fate clan have any place in the galaxy?
In an instant, Chu Zhengji felt some regret in his heart.
However, as the leader of a clan and a Heavenly King Realm expert, he naturally couldn't admit defeat just because the other party said something. However, he didn't say anything and only turned to look at the city in front of him.
This huge maze naturally had a method to spy on the situation inside. It was called the Heart of the Palace. The Heart of the Palace wasn't a thing, but a special method to communicate with the maze. In essence, it was a formation that could merge with the maze. Chu Zhengji immediately released his power. A majestic power surged out and immediately covered the entire top of the city.
His power formed a special formation that covered the top of the maze. This way, he could clearly sense every change in the formation and even every detail in the maze. After connecting with the maze, he immediately searched for Lu An's figure. When he quickly found Lu An's location through the energy fluctuations, his body shook, and his eyes were filled with astonishment!
Chu Zhengji's change was immediately noticed by the surrounding people. They didn't know what had happened and all thought that something had happened to Lu An. None of them wanted Lu An to die. Otherwise, the Divine Fate clan wouldn't have died at the hands of the Spirit clan, but at the hands of the Fu Clan and Sengoku!
"Clan Leader … What's wrong?" Someone hurriedly asked. The eyes of the others were filled with anxiety.
Seeing Chu Zhengji's change, Yao's eyes turned even colder. He even clenched his fists and immediately asked, "Clan Leader Chu, how is Lu An's situation?"
"…"
Chu Zhengji took a light breath and turned to look at the crowd. He naturally knew what they were thinking, but they had completely misunderstood him.
"Young Clan Leader Yao, don't worry." Chu Zhengji said in a deep voice. "Young Master Lu is fine. Furthermore … he has already reached the middle section."
"What!?"
The Divine Fate clan members immediately trembled and exclaimed in unison! Everyone was dumbfounded, as though their eyes were about to fall out!
"How is this possible!?"
"This …"
Seeing how his clansmen were unable to accept this, Chu Zhengji took a deep breath and calmed himself down. To be honest, he was also unable to accept this in his heart. Back then, when he first entered this maze, he had only walked a third of it. Back then, his strength had already far surpassed the current Lu An.
How did this kid do it? Even if he could see through the mechanisms and formations, his strength shouldn't have been enough to last until now. Furthermore, wasn't the speed at which he was deciphering the mechanisms and formations a little too fast? Could it be that every single path inside was made of paper?
Not even half an hour had passed. This was a speed that had never been seen since the construction of the maze. Even the elders who had entered and exited the maze countless times couldn't be this fast.
More importantly … until now, the path that Lu An had chosen was extremely accurate. It was the only correct path.
Chu Zhengji's eyes had completely changed. He didn't retract his strength, but continued to communicate with the maze's formations to observe Lu An's every move.
He wanted to see clearly how Lu An was doing it. Furthermore, based on Lu An's current progress, he would soon reach the next stage.

Within the maze, Lu An's speed was very fast, and it was getting faster and faster.
In the beginning, he had to carefully move forward in the passageways to prevent the sudden appearance of mechanisms and formations. However, at this point, he basically didn't have such concerns. In the passageways, he could even move forward at full speed without holding back.
It wasn't that Lu An was careless, and it wasn't that there were no obstacles in the passageways. In fact, along the way, there were many passageways that would suddenly launch attacks, but Lu An managed to pass through them all. The reason why he dared to charge forward without holding back was that he had already grasped the rules of the entire maze.
That's right. The design of the entire maze, including the shape of the passageways, the position of each checkpoint, and the power within each checkpoint, had been engraved in Lu An's mind. The entire maze was a huge mechanism and formation. Every checkpoint was a branch, but even so, the mechanism and formation of each checkpoint were still connected to the maze, and it was a very big connection. It required the entire maze to provide power to support it.
Of course, this wasn't a necessary condition. It didn't mean that all mechanisms and formations had to be like this. Lu An had seen many large formations that contained small formations, but they didn't interfere with each other. However, this maze was designed in this way, and that was all.
It was also because of this that, after passing through half of the journey and expanding his spatial perception outside the passageways, Lu An was able to draw out a large portion of the maze's shape and formation's energy flow.
Based on the information he had obtained, Lu An had more or less figured out … what kind of formation was used in this maze.
