"Junior Brother!"
Zhu Danzi was completely anxious at this point. If the three fellow disciples fell, he would have no way out.
Zhu Danziâs figure had just moved, and the Yellow Turban Warrior had dimmed as the time for the talisman had expired!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As soon as a flaw appeared in the Yellow Turban Warriorâs formation, Canglan Master made several moves, shattering the three Yellow Turban Warriors into golden light which then dissipated into nothingness.
Without the Yellow Turban Warrior in the "Three Talents Array," Canglan Master charged towards Zhu Danzi.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
After a series of consecutive sword thrusts, Zhu Danzi couldnât hold out. His body was covered with several wounds.
"Heaven and earth limitless, borrowing force from the universe, shifting scene and shadow!"
With no other options left, Zhu Danziâs figure suddenly became swift, transformed into a series of afterimages, and fled towards the passage he had come from.
Canglan Master hesitated slightly but immediately decided to slay the remaining three disciples of Louguan Dao.
Facing Canglan Masterâs sword techniques, the three had no power to resist and were slain cleanly with a single stroke each.
Meanwhile, Li Yunjing had also disappeared into the corridor, escaping swiftly.
Confronted with the berserk Canglan Master, Li Yunjing was highly intimidated and didnât want to risk his life against him.
Watching both Li Yunjing and Zhu Danzi disappear into the passages, Canglan Master was left unsure who to pursue first.
He then turned to the Red Jade Woman and asked, "How are your injuries?"
"Big Brother, my injuries are under control now. I was ambushed by venomous insects but have contained the poison spread," she replied while collecting the spoils.
"Thatâs good to hear! Continue to pursue those two!"
Canglan Master nodded. After the Red Jade Woman collected the spoils, he led her to continue the chase.
For Li Yunjing and Zhu Danzi, Canglan Master and the Red Jade Woman were absolutely relentless.
While Canglan Master and the Red Jade Woman prepared to pursue, Li Yunjing had already navigated into an unknown passage, whereas Zhu Danzi was at a loss, fleeing through the vast maze like a headless fly.
Anxiously, he sent out a message hoping that any nearby cultivators from Louguan Dao would come to his aid.
At this time, several streaks of light gathered in the sky above a small town.
These cultivators hovered in mid-air, surrounding the town. Cultivators from various sects took positions within a ten-mile radius, even members from Shenxiao Dao Sect were present.
Evidently, the massacre of several thousand in the small town could not be concealed for long. The divine light that soared skywards had alerted experts within tens of miles, who then flocked here.
With numerous sects represented, nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core Realm cultivators were present. Seeing the entire townâs populace dead, their expressions turned grim.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, particularly within the Great Ming Dynastyâs territory, Shenxiao Dao Sect along with various sects jointly governed this domain. In name, they were all orthodox cultivators, and naturally, such events were unacceptable.
Now, someone had slaughtered mortal townsfolk, numbering several thousand. The expressions of those present were far from pleasant.
"Letâs go down and take a look! If that divine light indeed signifies a treasure, we will jointly explore it and distribute the spoils based on merit!"
An elder from Shenxiao Dao Sect suggested.
"Alright! This time, we shall follow Elder Wangâs command!"
Golden Core Realm cultivators from other sects all expressed their intent to heed Shenxiao Dao Sectâs elder.
"Not good! Our people from Louguan Dao have already entered the underground palace and encountered danger in a maze. These people are the culprits behind the town massacre!"
Before Elder Wang of Shenxiao Dao Sect could speak, an elder from Louguan Dao seemed to have received some news, his expression shifted suddenly and he hastily spoke.
"Then letâs go down and check it out quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Wang of Shenxiao Dao Sect frowned and gave the order, though inwardly he thought, "I didnât expect Louguan Daoâs people to get a head start!"
Soon, led by several Golden Core Realm experts, they arrived at the townâs shrine and headed underground.
At that moment, Canglan Master and the Red Jade Woman were already pursuing Zhu Danzi; meanwhile, luck favored Li Yunjing. Not only was he not pursued, but he also entered an unmarked passage, accidentally reaching the mazeâs end.
Seeing a stone gate ahead, Li Yunjing had no choice but to release a Puppet Mechanism Beast, commanding it to force open the gate in hopes of entering the world behind it.
"Creak! Creak!"
Remarkably, there were no restrictions on the stone gate, and the Tier Two Puppet Mechanism Beast managed to push open the gate, revealing a hidden world.
After the smoke and dust had cleared, the Puppet Mechanism Beast continued to lead the way, with Li Yunjing following closely behind. He refrained from using any True Essence. As a Five Elements Spirit Root cultivator, Li Yunjing could absorb the worldâs Five Elements Primordial Qi to perform Daoist skills.
As long as Five Elements Spiritual Qi existed in the world, Li Yunjing wouldnât worry about survival underground.
"Traversing the maze, this great figureâs Dao Field became even larger! Itâs like a section of a mountain range sinking underground?"
Passing through the stone gate, Li Yunjing observed the surroundings from behind the Puppet Mechanism Beast, his eyes showing a hint of astonishment.
