Maze Array
In the fog, Xue Qingwu and Chu Xingyun ran for a while before stopping.
It was as if they were in another world. White fog shrouded the area and visibility was limited to a few meters. Even if they channeled their spiritual energy into their eyes, they still couldn't see clearly.
"It should be safe here." Chu Xingyun looked around and didn't find any traces of spiritual beasts.
"No, we are already in danger." Xue Qingwu smiled bitterly at Chu Xingyun. She stretched out her hand and the spiritual energy that had just gathered dissipated without a trace.
"Now I understand why this place is called the Death Zone. There seems to be a special force here that can restrict spiritual energy. In addition to the fog, it is difficult to identify the direction and there is no way to ask for help."
When Xue Qingwu was running, she left a few marks along the way. Now, when she looked back, she found that these marks were long gone.
"Spiritual energy is blocked and there are no marks. This area is simply a maze." Xue Qingwu said dejectedly.
"Don't you think it's a little too soon to give up?" Chu Xingyun glanced at Xue Qingwu and walked a few steps forward. He opened his hands and a wisp of spiritual energy slowly spread out.
"It's useless." Xue Qingwu shook her head and said, "I have already tried. Spiritual energy can't last long here, let alone rely on spiritual energy to let people find us."
"Now that the spirit beasts are in a riot, the entire Fog Forest is in chaos. Even if the spirit energy spreads out, I'm afraid no one will be able to discover us." Chu Xing Yun's eyes were slightly closed, but his tone was calm.
"Then you mean …" Xue Qingwu had a glimmer of hope. She stared at Chu Xingyun, but he didn't say a word. He just opened his hands and slowly released spiritual energy.
Time passed slowly, but the fog in this space didn't disappear. It was still as thick as before.
Just when Xue Qingwu was getting impatient, Chu Xingyun's closed eyes suddenly opened and a flash of light flashed past. He said happily, "Sure enough!"
"Did you find anything?" Xue Qingwu hurriedly asked.
"Actually, the region we're in is a maze formation." Chu Xingyun spoke. His voice was filled with confidence, causing Xue Qingwu to be taken aback. The central region of the Dense Fog Forest was a maze?
"From the moment we entered this area, I felt something strange. There seems to be a strange force binding the fog, preventing it from dissipating and restricting our spiritual energy."
"So, I purposely released my spiritual energy just now to follow this energy. As a result, I found the core of the formation."
Chu Xingyun's lips curled into a faint smile. This formation eye was very well hidden. If one was careless, it would be overlooked. If it was someone else, they would not be able to find it in their lifetime.
"Since you know that this is a maze, is there any way to break it?" Xue Qingwu's eyes lit up. Now that she knew the source of the fog, she had a glimmer of hope to get out.
"I'm afraid not now." Chu Xingyun shrugged and said, "This maze is of the fifth level. If you want to break it, you need to be at least of the Heavenly Spirit Realm."
Xue Qingwu's gaze froze. Even in the entire Liuyun Dynasty, there probably weren't many in the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
Seeming to have seen through Xue Qingwu's thoughts, Chu Xingyun smiled faintly and said, "Although I have no way to break the maze, I still have some confidence in getting out of this area. Moreover, I keep feeling that there's something strange about this maze formation."
"Strange? What's strange? "Xue Qingwu asked again.
"There are three types of formations in the world: killing formations, defensive formations, and maze formations. The so-called maze formations are mostly used to imprison others or obstruct others. But if you sense it carefully, you'll find that there seems to be a faintly discernible force within this maze that wants to lead us to a certain place and constantly guide us."
Chu Xingyun looked deeply into the depths of the fog. When he turned his head, he found that Xue Qingwu was still frowning with a face full of confusion.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but smile and said, "Forget it. It's okay if you don't understand the explanation just now. Help me guard. I'll recover from my injuries first, then I'll take you out of this area."
Chu Xingyun's current cultivation wasn't very good, but the knowledge he possessed surpassed anyone in the world. What he said just now involved profound formations. It was normal that Xue Qingwu didn't understand.
"Okay." Xue Qingwu nodded and walked to the side to silently guard Chu Xingyun.
During this time, she turned her head and looked deeply at Chu Xingyun. He could even see through such an obscure formation with a glance. Who exactly was he?
…
At dusk, the new disciples who entered the Dense Fog Forest came out one after another.
When the spiritual beasts started to riot, the five Martial Houses immediately sent out countless experts to search the forest. Even the Imperial Palace was alarmed and sent out many imperial guards.
Ye Huan and Luo Lan stood together, and beside them were the people from the Lingxiao Martial House. Li Yi, Li Chen, and Xiao Ting were among them, looking forward with shining eyes.
"They're out!" Ye Huan said.
In the forest, several huge black eagles immediately flew out. There were many figures standing on top of the black eagles. Some were the elders of the Martial House, and some were the new disciples.
"Did you find Junior Chu?" Ye Huan hurriedly walked up and asked Yang Feng.
Yang Feng shook his head and said with a bitter face, "We searched the entire forest, but we couldn't find Chu Xingyun. Not only him, even Xue Qingwu couldn't find him. Both of them disappeared without a trace."
"Xue Qingwu also disappeared?" Ye Huan's face froze, and said with some fear, "Then the Xue Family …"
Yang Feng deeply sighed and said, "After Elder Xue found out about this, he already left this place. He probably went back to the Xue Family to report. Soon, the Xue Family will enter the Dense Fog Forest."
Speaking up to here, the surrounding people shuddered. If Xue Qingwu's whereabouts were unknown, or if she died tragically at the hands of the spiritual beasts, the entire Liuyun Dynasty would change.
"Li Yi, that brat Chu Xingyun, you're sure he's dead, right?" Xiao Ting lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear.
"Of course." Li Yi nodded and said with certainty, "If I personally took action, that brat wouldn't have a chance to survive. Now, he's probably been torn to pieces by the spiritual beasts."
"That's good." Xiao Ting smiled coldly.
Before the exam, the Dreamy Cloud Martial House had promised him many benefits, so that he could secretly deal with Chu Xingyun's opponent.
Originally, he was worried that the whole thing would be exposed, but he didn't expect that at this critical moment, the spiritual beasts would suddenly riot and perfectly cover up the whole thing.
