Extre High Temperature!
Ye Chenfeng looked at the phantom that had just dissipated beside him, a look of dissatisfaction on his face as he muttered, “That phantom only lasted about ten seconds, it seems like I still need so ti to master the Netherworld Ghost Steps to perfection.”
Xia Zining, upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s muttering, couldn’t hide the envy on her face.
After all, the Netherworld Ghost Steps were a unique technique of the Ghost King Sect and were undoubtedly difficult to cultivate.
Yet, Ye Chenfeng had made such progress after practicing for only half an hour.
It could be said that Ye Chenfeng’s talent was indeed monstrous.
“Chenfeng, I’m rested.
Let’s leave this place now,” Xia Zining said to Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng nodded and replied, “Zining, let’s search the grand hall once more before we go, to see if there’s anything else we might be able to use.”
After a careful search of the grand hall, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining found that, in addition to piles of gold bars and countless spoiled dicinal materials, there were also many valuable books and miscellaneous items from the Ghost King Sect.
These items, however, were simply too nurous for just Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining to carry out.
Moreover, since Ye Chenfeng had already gained sothing from the ruins of the Ghost King Sect, he temporarily gave up the idea of taking these items with him, thinking that there would be another opportunity to co back in the future.
“Zining, let’s leave the ruins of the Ghost King Sect now,” proposed Ye Chenfeng.
Xia Zining spoke up, “Chenfeng, should we return the way we ca?”
Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, “According to the layout of the traps in my mind, we don’t need to go back the way we ca.
Besides, if we were to return by the sa path, there are many disciples from various ancient martial sects outside.
We would definitely beco their targets.”
“However, the Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect must have anticipated this.
There is another exit within the ruins that we can use to leave,” he explained.
…
As Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining were preparing to leave the Ghost King Sect’s ruins, under the guidance of Wang Mingchong, the Second Elder of Red Fla Valley who was adept at chanism layouts, the representatives from the four major sects were also narrowly exiting the Desolate Maze.
They proceeded cautiously but in a direction that was the complete opposite of the way to the main hall of the Ghost King Sect.
The mbers of Cloud Soaring Palace, Earth Demon Hall, and Yun Tian Sect, having been outwitted by Ye Chenfeng, didn’t encounter him along the way and were increasingly infuriated.
Just thinking about how Ye Chenfeng had played them for fools ignited a growing rage inside them.
Among them, Li Zihao of Cloud Soaring Palace was the most emotionally unstable.
He constantly thought of dismbering Ye Chenfeng, and his eyes were filled with a malicious aura.
“Sect Leader Wang, should we look for the Ghost King Sect’s treasure now?” Li Dongtian, the Sect Leader of Cloud Soaring Palace, asked politely, as they still relied on Wang Mingchong of Red Fla Valley.
Wang Mingchong’s eyes ticulously surveyed their surroundings.
To him, a person who considered chanisms and traps as vital as life itself, he had no spare mont to answer Li Dongtian’s question.
Even though Li Dongtian was the Sect Leader of Cloud Soaring Palace, Wang Mingchong showed no interest in offering even a courteous reply.
Seeing himself being blatantly ignored by Wang Mingchong, Li Dongtian’s face turned the color of liver, and he couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth, a deep murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly, Wang Mingchong’s eyes lit up, and he spoke with a smile, “According to my analysis, after turning the next corner, I should be able to find sothing.”
Hearing Wang Mingchong’s excited words, everyone quickened their pace.
However, when they turned the corner, they all wore expressions of disappointnt, including Wang Mingchong, who appeared baffled, as they found themselves facing a dead end with a thick wall blocking their path.
Li Dongtian, the Sect Leader of Cloud Soaring Palace, asked with a gloomy face, “Elder Wang, what the hell is going on?”
The Sect Leader of the Earth Demon Hall, Mo Wusha, with his deep eyes staring at Wang Mingchong, said, “Give the Earth Demon Hall an explanation.
It was you who led us into this dead end.”
The Sect Master of Yun Tian Sect, Wang Zhongtian, also promptly said, “Indeed, you owe us three major sects an explanation.”
Upon hearing this, the Valley Master of Red Fla Valley, Lie Yan, the Great Elder of Red Fla Valley, Wang Wuji, and the young master of Red Fla Valley, Lie Yang, all had very ugly expressions on their faces.
The straightforward and simple-natured Lie Yang, feeling extrely displeased, said, “Do you have the right to question the second Elder of my Red Fla Valley?
If it weren’t for the second Elder leading the way, you would still be trapped in the maze we just left!”
Yet the second Elder of Red Fla Valley, Wang Mingchong, seed as if he hadn’t heard the others arguing.
He walked up to the thick wall in front of him and kept knocking on various parts of the wall, muttering to himself, “This doesn’t make sense!
This doesn’t make sense!
Based on my analysis, this shouldn’t be a dead end.”
However, when Wang Mingchong knocked on one of the bricks in the wall, it emitted a hollow sound.
He quickly pressed his hands against this brick and forcefully pushed it inwards.
The mont this brick was pressed in, the floor tiles on the ground instantly disappeared, and mbers of the four major sects who were present fell through the floor.
Fortunately, these were all experts.
As they fell through the air, they stabilized their bodies, and after about ten seconds of descending, they landed steadily on the ground.
During the fall, they had no ti to observe their surroundings.
Now that they had steadied their footing, they began to feel the heat wafting around them.
The mbers of the four major sects found themselves in a sealed space about the size of a room, with a four-ter long and four-ter wide pool on the left side containing rolling hot magma, which was clearly the source of the rising temperature in this space.
Feeling the temperature in the space steadily climbing, within a short while the people from the four major sects were drenched in sweat, all feeling dry-mouthed and thirsty.
The Sect Leader of Cloud Soaring Palace, Li Dongtian, glared worse at Wang Mingchong, demanding, “Elder Wang, where have you taken us?
Hurry up and lead us out of here.”
Wang Mingchong, enduring the increasingly high temperature in the air, ticulously examined the space around him.
He noticed that the walls were covered in nurous tiny pinholes.
After observing for nearly five or six minutes, he still had no results, and his face showed an expression of disappointnt.
Seeing Wang Mingchong’s disappointed face only added to the anger of the other three major sects.
Li Zihao, the young master of Cloud Soaring Palace, already fuming with anger, imdiately yelled, “You old fool, you led us here, now don’t tell us you’re incapable of leading us out.”
The Valley Master of Red Fla Valley, Lie Yan, frowned and then asked Wang Mingchong, “Second Elder, do you have a way to lead us out of here?”
Wang Mingchong shook his head, then nodded, and said, “Valley Master, I have not yet discerned the intricacies of this space.
Give so ti to examine it, and perhaps I can lead everyone out.”
The brash Li Zihao, glaring fiercely, retorted, “Old fool, you can lead us out?
I think you’re just buying ti.
I am the heir of the distinguished Ancient Martial Punishers, and all of you will soday be my servants.”
Displeased with Li Zihao’s behavior, Red Fla Valley’s young master, Lie Yang, directly walked to a wall and shouted, “Want to leave, do you?
I’ll blast through this wall myself.”
“Boom!”
Before the people of Red Fla Valley could stop him, Lie Yang punched the wall in front of him.
But the mont his fist touched the wall, a burst of scalding hot steam shot out from the dense pinholes, striking Lie Yang.
He let out a painful scream and then imdiately passed out.
…
While the mbers of the four major sects were trapped in the sealed space, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining had also arrived at the dead end where the four major sects had recently been.
