In the Jianmu Forest.
Amidst the lush Jianmu Forest, Wen Ping sat cross-legged, practicing the "Changmo Technique" to devour the Wood Qi produced by the surrounding Jianmu.
Just as he was deeply immersed in his cultivation, the systemās voice echoed in his ears.
"A power surpassing the Mountain Suppression Realm has appeared in the Maze Array. The current level of the maze is too low, it can only trap the people inside for just over thirty seconds more."
Wen Pingās eyes suddenly snapped open.
Is Situ Xiuneng going to break free from the Maze Array?
No way?
"A power surpassing the Mountain Suppression Realm, could it be that the maze forced him into Half-Step Earth Unrestricted?"
Thereās no shortage of examples where pressure leads to a Realm breakthrough.
The system responded, "It isnāt that. Situ Xiuneng merely used his weapon to forcibly enhance his attack power to Half-Step Earth Unrestricted. The maze is currently at level one, insufficient to trap this power."
Hearing this, Wen Ping couldnāt help but remark, "I knew there was a limit to the mazeās ability to trap people; I just hadnāt expected it to come so quickly."
"Itās best for the host to make preparations immediately; Situ Xiuneng will break out of the mazeās confines and escape in twenty seconds."
Wen Ping waved his hand dismissively.
"Forget it, let him go."
Itās been six or seven days since he acquired the Expelliarmus Spell, itās time to let Situ Xiuneng go.
Just as Wen Ping was about to close his eyes and resume devouring Wood Qi for his cultivation, the systemās voice came again.
"Situ Xiunengās breakthrough direction isnāt towards the foot of the mountain... but the summit."
...
At the summit of Yunlan Mountain.
Situ Xiuneng had switched to gripping his spear with both hands, continuously absorbing Vein Qi from his Meridian Gate and channeling it into his body and spear, sharpening his Perception of his surroundings.
He felt as if he were about to emerge through the clouds to see the Qing Tian.
One breath!
Two breaths!
Three breaths!
In an instant, the Maze Array that trapped him for over ten days finally opened a breach.
A surge of satisfaction and pride washed over him.
Given the terrifying nature of Immortal Sectās Maze Array, he dared to assert that not many Silver Level Chiefs could escape it. Because not everyone has such powerful Dragon Wall Artifacts!
This weapon was crafted for him personally by the Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan, and among the Silver Level Chiefs, besides him, only one other person possessed such a weapon.
If it had been any other Silver Level Chief from the Hundred Sects Alliance, they might have been trapped in this maze forever.
Thank goodness it was him who came!
"Next time I come, Iāll break the array by force!" Situ Xiuneng swore silently, then decided to leave the Immortal Sect immediately.
This infiltration into the Immortal Sect had failed.
Next time it wonāt.
How could Situ Xiuneng fail three times in front of the Immortal Sect?
As he spoke, Situ Xiuneng had half-stepped out of the maze, the different sunlight falling on his face.
"Iām out!"
Situ Xiuneng let out a sigh of relief.
"Hmm?"
Long Ke stopped his steps towards the Main Hall, focusing his gaze straight ahead at Situ Xiuneng.
"An intruder?"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sound of three Meridian Gates opening sounded simultaneously.
Situ Xiuneng was momentarily stunned, his joy instantly extinguished by the Vibrating Vein Sound from behind!
He turned his head.
He stood at the edge of the Main Hallās square.
Not far off, there was an elderly man sweeping the ground with a broom, who upon seeing him, left his sweeping and headed towards the back of the Main Hall...
"You dare to intrude on the Immortal Sect?" Long Keās voice followed.
Situ Xiuneng quickly said, "This is a misunderstanding."
Just as he was about to turn around, Long Keās leg wind rushed towards his back, the ferocity of the killing intent forcing him to turn and counterattack immediately. He lifted his spear in front to block the incoming kick.
Bam!
At the instant his foot and spear clashed, a loud boom resounded throughout the sky.
Situ Xiuneng staggered back three or four steps, while Long Ke remained immovable, standing at his original position. Looking at his limbs, ankle, neck, and face, the sight of the red scales made Situ Xiuneng smile bitterly.
Red Scale!
A Spirit Body ranked above 2000!
To have his body covered entirely with Red Scales means he must have reached the Realm of Perfection.
Instead of being curious about the identity of the woman before him, he became increasingly bewildered by his luck.
How did she happen to be behind him just as he escaped the maze?
"This really is a misunderstanding," Situ Xiuneng explained again, unwittingly stepping back two more paces, in an effort to stop the battle and seek an opportunity to explain.
However, Long Ke gave no chance!
As he retreated half a step, Long Ke disappeared from the spot. A streak of red flashed across before him, colliding again with Situ Xiunengās spear. This time, his spear did not guard his chest in time, leaving him to take a solid kick to the chest. The Mountain-Suppressing Armor protecting Situ Xiuneng shattered instantly, with each expanding crack causing Situ Xiunengās face to turn ashen.
Mountain-Suppressing Armor, resolved with one kick.
This Spiritual Power, already infinitely close to Half-Step Earth Unrestricted.
Among the Silver Level Chiefs of Heaven and Earth Lake, no one could match her Pure Spirit Body in an encounter, nor could anyone win a prolonged battle against her.
Thinking this, Situ Xiunengās Meridian Gate trembled.
Thousand LeapsĀ·First Mechanism Realm!
Accompanied by the trembling of the Meridian Gate, pillars of fire erupted from the ground, then blazed intensely, turning everything around red. The Thousand Leaps technique wielded by Situ Xiuneng was far superior to Lu Mingās; the pillars of fire instantly trapped Long Ke within them, faster than the two strikes Long Ke had just launched against Situ Xiuneng.
Long Ke couldnāt withdraw from the cage!
Seeing this, Long Ke was not alarmed; instead, he murmured with interest, "School Vein Skill, interesting indeed."
With that, a weapon resembling a Long Spike appeared in her hand.
Meanwhile, Thousand LeapsĀ·Second Mechanism Realm unleashed.
The central Fire Wall of each pillar started rippling like waves, and in its core, hundreds of Fire Vines emerged, charging at Long Ke like a blanket covering the sky.
"You think youāre the only one who can do this?"
Long Keās Meridian Gate trembled, and as the Vibrating Vein Sound echoed, she disappeared from her original spot.
From not far away, Situ Xiuneng observed this scene, his expression slightly changed, guessing, "School Vein Skill?"
If she really is using a School Vein Skill, todayās battle would undoubtedly turn into a stalemate.
If the fight drags on, the people from Immortal Sect will come.
For him, this is a very bad situation.
"Come out!"
Situ Xiuneng shouted loudly, and hundreds of Fire Vines immediately scattered, slapping down on all areas surrounded by the Fire Pillars.
The intention behind this was to force the opponent out.
With an all-around attack, he didnāt believe she could remain hidden.
Bam!
Bam!
Sounds of explosion echoed continuously.
"There!" Situ Xiuneng focused intently on a distant corner, where a shadow began to emerge as the Fire Vines dropped.
However, in the blink of an eye, the shadow disappeared again.
Situ Xiuneng summoned the hundreds of Fire Vines again, managing only to reveal Long Keās presence for a fleeting moment.
As her appearances became more frequent, Situ Xiuneng panicked.
She was approaching him from different directions!
