Chapter 1509:

Long Chen was traversing through the massive maze. It had been hours since they began finding their way out, and they weren’t out of the massive maze yet. Not only that, but they also didn’t come across many of the White Tigers along the way either.

“Something isn’t right,” Terra abruptly stopped mid-way.

“What happened?” Long Chen asked, noticing the look of fear on the face of Terra. “Any problems with the choice?”

There were two paths ahead of Terra from which he had to select. Long Chen didn’t understand what surprised Terra so much. He had literally found the right way amongst tens of choices on the way to here. Why was he suddenly nervous?

“Which path is the right one?” Long Chen asked again.

“I… Don’t know. These two paths… Their energies keep shifting. At first, that one had a positive energy, but as I got closer, it was completely filled with negative energy. On the other hand, that one came with positive energy,” Terra tried to explain the best he could, but he knew it wasn’t easy. “Are you understanding what I’m saying?”

Long Chen rubbed the ridge of his nose as he tried to understand the situation. He wasn’t really happy at what this implied. Instead, he seemed really distressed.

He started walking back and forth. “This isn’t good news. This means we are trapped…”

“What do you mean we are trapped? What is happening here?” The White Tiger Princess inquired, confused. She thought these people had a way out of this place. Why did it seem like even they were stuck here?

“The maze… It’s changing. All the paths are switching. This means we can select the right path accordingly, but we can’t be sure it’ll be right by the time we enter that path. It might switch, sending us on a wrong path instead. We might end up at a dead end,” Lucifer explained in simpler terms as he let out a deep sigh.

“The problem isn’t small,” he further continued. “We can only take a blind step from here and take that risk. We might need to prepare for the worst. Just be ready.”

“What might that worse be?” The lady asked Long Chen, grimly.

“Possibly something that killed the Ice Phoenix Queen, or possibly something even worse. But I hope it’s not the wrong path,” Long Chen answered, observing both the paths that appeared to be covered in a mist.

“Which one is the right one at this moment?” he asked Terra.

“That one.” Terra pointed towards the left.

“Good. We need to wait here to see if it changes to the right one. We will measure the time. That’s the apparent time we’ll have before the paths switch again. That’s also the time in which we need to get to the other path,” Long Chen further added, letting out a deep sigh. “If we can understand this change, we must just get through before the paths change.”

“What do you think?” he gazed to his left, seemingly staring at thin air.

“Great, I’m stuck with crazy people.” The White tiger Princess rolled her eyes as if she had just given up on Long Chen after seeing him talk to thin air.

She turned to Xun. “Is he always this crazy, talking to air?”

“He’s not talking to the air,” Xun responded calmly. “He’s talking to a spirit who is more knowledgeable than him. I think you should let him do what he wants.”

“Spirit, who is more knowledgeable than him? That doesn’t sound like a tough criteria to achieve. Literally, any random person in our realm would know more than that demon,” Baihu Ling rolled her eyes in response.

“I think you aren’t understanding. He isn’t talking to any random person who knows more than him. He’s talking to someone who knows even more about this place and the person sleeping here than you.”

“How? How can he know that?”

“I don’t know how to explain that.” Xun shook her head. “Just trust me that it’s the case. It’s better to get an idea through that Spirit.”

“Have you seen that spirit before?” Baihu Ling asked again.

“Only he can see it,” Xun answered.

“Hah, as expected! That man is deranged. He is talking to himself and making you think he’s some intellectual. Let me prove it.” Baihu Ling advanced toward Long Chen as if prepared to do something.

“Wait! What are you planning to do?” Xun blocked her path, not letting her go. “Are you going to do something that might hurt that spirit?”

“Nope. I’ll just prove that there is no spirit there. This is not any ordinary ring I have here,” the silver-haired lady raised her hand to show the Royal Ring she was wearing.

It was a time that proved her royal lineage, but it also did much more.

“There was an accident in the Royal Beast academy in the past, all because of that stupid Zhu Chang. He freed many spirits. That made my father and everyone else really worried. Even though the spirits problem was solved, my father didn’t sit idle.

He had this ring specially made for me to protect me from Spirits in case something like that happened again.

“If I get close to the Spirits, the ring will start shining. Also, a shield will appear around me to protect me. That Spirit won’t be able to get close to me. This thing won’t hurt the spirit unless I want to hurt it. Since I just want to prove that he’s lying, I won’t hurt the spirit if it exists!”

Baihu Ling explained how her ring worked before she placed her hands on the shoulders of Xun. She slowly moved her aside before she moved closer to Long Chen, keeping her eyes on her ring.

“You’re right. Even though this maze is chaotic, I feel there should be some order in this maze as well. The changing of paths… The maze couldn’t have known that you have someone who can see when paths are changed, so I believe the time difference should be the same.” Long Tian agreed with the theory of Long Chen.

“Hmm? What is that lady trying to do?” Long Tian noticed Baihu Ling coming toward him. He couldn’t help but shake his head. “Maybe she is missing you. Go keep her busy.”

Long Chen turned back, observing the lady who had her focus on her ring. “You want to ask something?”

“No. I just want to prove that you’re a crazy man who talks to himself.” Baihu Ling smirked as she kept getting closer; however, her smile soon disappeared.
