In another area, four people were walking together. Their expressions were extrely serious, and they were on high alert, as they could barely see the path ahead of them, rendering even their senses useless.
"Fortunately, you imdiately grabbed my hand, Brother Chui. Otherwise, the portal would have separated us, and I would have had a difficult ti finding you." Yuan Luo then turned to the other two people. "Are you two still feeling nauseous and dizzy, Ru Yanyue and Ying Shanhu?"
"Yes." Ru Yanyue was the first to answer as she massaged his forehead and head.
"I'm fine." Ying Shanhu then looked around them. "What exactly is going on here, Chui? Why is the maze challenge this ti different from usual? Moreover, the restrictions this ti are much stronger than the last, even suppressing our senses."
"I don't have an answer, so we must move forward to figure it out." Xin Chuixue imdiately took out two black gauntlets and wore them on both hands. "We shouldn't let our guard down, especially since we still don't know if any other changes are coming."
Yuan Luo, Ru Yanyue, and Ying Shanhu also imdiately took out their respective weapons.

Two won fought so silver wolf earth-rank beasts, but they were no match for them, and they killed them all quickly.
"Hmm? What is that, Tian'er?"
Bai Tian'er raised her eyebrows, glancing at an item that had appeared on top of a pile of beast corpses. She imdiately went over there and took it. "It's an elental crystal, Zhiqiu."
"An elental crystal?" Ye Zhiqiu was surprised to hear that. "We've challenged this maze several tis in the past, but this is the first ti we've gotten an item from these beasts. Moreover, an elental crystal is quite expensive, and it can strengthen our elents."
"It's an ice elental crystal, so you can have it." Bai Tian'er handed it to Ye Zhiqiu, who imdiately stored it in her storage ring. "I'm curious about what caused this maze challenge to change so much, but we can't do anything but move forward for now, and I hope we can get together with the others soon."
The two won imdiately walked away from the area. "Do you think the others will be okay?"
"I noticed earlier that Brother Chui is with Yuan Luo, Ru Yanyue, and Ying Shanhu. Zhang Fei is with Xian Xianqin and Yun Xinyue, and Xian Xianwu is with Aunt Changyue. We are in the beginning stage now, so I'm sure they haven't t those people yet." Bai Tian'er then quickened her pace, so Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly followed behind her. "We don't need to worry about them now; we should focus on ourselves since we could et those evil people anyti."

"Aunt Changyue, I'm worried about Xianqin."
Xian Changyue then turned to her nephew and saw Xian Xianwu's expression filled with worry. However, she was not too surprised by it because he and Xian Xianqin were twins, and they had never been separated before. "I was worried about her situation myself, but Zhang Fei held her hand before we were sucked into those portals, so I think they should be together now. Furthermore, that kid is not bad, and he has defeated Xiao Fang, so I'm confident he can protect your sister."
"Yeah, you're right." Xian Xianwu replied with a nod. "Zhang Fei is indeed strong, and he seems to be resourceful, so Xianqin should be fine as long as she's with him. Moreover, they are not alone, and Yun Xinyue is with them. What do you think is the cause of the strange things happening in this challenge?"
Xian Changyue shook her head at him. "I don't know the answer, but I think we'll find it through the exit, so we should move faster."
Xian Xianwu nodded and quickly followed his paternal aunt, tightly gripping his iron fan to prepare for any unexpected attacks.

A petite woman sat on a tall man's shoulders while supporting her head with her hands, but she kept sighing in annoyance, making the other n beside them confused by her attitude. "Why do you keep sighing on your own, Xi Xianzi?"
"Aren't you annoyed by the changes that have happened here, Long Tian?"
"Naturally, I am annoyed by these unclear changes, but there is nothing we can do to change them, right?" Long Tian then pointed ahead. "There is only one path ahead of us, so we have no choice but to keep moving forward, and we might be able to et the mbers of our races soon."
Xi Xianzi nodded before speaking again. "Actually, I'm not worried about our mbers because they can protect themselves, and those evil people will not dare to attack them. However, I am worried about Zhang Fei because he is only accompanied by those two human princesses, and their cultivation has not broken through to the seven divine realms, so he will definitely be in danger if they attack him."
"Your worries are too much, Xianzi." Xi Xianzi turned to Zheng Ru, the giant. "Zhang Fei is not as weak as you think, and he has proven it by defeating Zhou Fang, so I am sure he can protect himself. Those evil people are also separated from their group, and this maze is very confusing, so they won't be able to find him that quickly."
"Well, that's true." Xi Xianzi then stretched out her hand forward, and a ball of light imdiately floated down the path in front of them, illuminating their path. "We can follow it, and it will guide us through this dark path."

*Roar*
In another area, a powerful and overbearing roar of a dragon caused dozens of beasts in front to cower in fear on the ground. A second later, all of them droop motionlessly due to the effect of the roar, but none of them die.
"Prince Long, your roar frightened my Lang, so I hope you don't use it too often." Xian Jinglan said this as she rubbed the brown wolf's head to calm him down. "Moreover, they are just earth-rank beasts, so you don't need to intimidate them that much, and you only need to use your dragon aura to stop them."
"Haha." Long Chen laughed upon hearing that. "You don't know that so beasts are very stubborn and like to commit suicide by attacking stronger beasts, and I don't want to waste my ti with them, so I have to do it. Anyway, can you use your abilities to track the others?"
"No." Xian Jinglan then looked up. "I don't know what happened in this maze challenge, but the restrictions are much stronger than usual, so my abilities are useless here."
"I see." Long Chen nodded in understanding and turned to another person. "What about you, Jin Dabao?"
Jin Dabao replied with a shake of his head. "Not only are there restrictions above us, but there are also restrictions below us, rendering my ability to track through the ground useless. The only way for us is to follow the path ahead of us, and I hope we will et those demon races so that I can beat them up."
"You despise those demon races so much, huh?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Jin Dabao then raised the hamr in his hand. "Those guys killed my brother last ti, so I hate them very much. Unfortunately, we can't fight inside the tower, so I have to hold back my anger toward them. Now that we're here, and there's no prohibition against killing in this place, I will not spare any of them who appear before ."
Long Chen turned to the female elf, but Xian Jinglan shrugged helplessly. "Let's speed up so we can find mbers of our races as soon as possible."

A woman leaned against the wall, her body trembling violently, particularly as the man in front of her continued to stare at her with a lewd expression. 'Ugh! Why is my fate so unlucky? Why did I have to et this evil demon?'
"Hey! I didn't expect you to end up here with us, Bai Shouyi." The male demon then grabbed her hands and held them above her head. "I know your parents are under Huangfu Shou's control, and I can help you free them. However, I won't do it for free, and you can give your body to instead."
"No!" Bai Shouyi shouted as she struggled to free her hands, but the male demon restrained both of them very firmly, and her cultivation was far below him. "Let go, Xin Yan! I will never give my body to a demon like you! I would rather die than do so!"
"Haha." Xin Yan laughed softly. "Do you think you can refuse ?"
Bai Shouyi trembled even more intensely at the thought of himself falling into the hands of a demon. "Kill !"
"Master, we have to move now, or they will get ahead of us."
Xin Yan imdiately turned to his slave with a raised eyebrow, but he then let go of Bai Shouyi's hands and led them forward. "Qian Ying, you must protect Princess Bai for now, and don't let her commit suicide, or I will punish you."
"Yes, Master." Bai Shouyi shivered due to Qian Ying's cold gaze, prompting her to follow behind them imdiately.

*Boom*
A huge explosion was heard in another area, but the expression of the man who unleashed the attack was one of utter rage, especially because the tree wall in front of him did not break even though he attacked it with full force. "Damn it! What actually happened? Why does this maze feel so much more complicated than before?"
A man and a woman behind him could only shake their heads at his attitude. "Big Brother Tong, there's no point in you being angry like this, as the situation won't change, and we need to move faster. Moreover, Zhang Fei is only with Xian Xianqin and Yun Xinyue now, so this is a good opportunity for us, and we can capture them at once."
"I agree with Brother Tai, Big Brother. If we waste ti like this, we will fall behind the others." Zhou iling joined in. "The sooner we find them, the better for us, and we can use the two won to force their parents to surrender to us."
Zhou Tong let out a soft sigh before nodding to them, and he imdiately led his two siblings down the dark path ahead. However, a hole suddenly appeared beneath Zhou iling's feet when she stepped forward, and she imdiately fell into it. "Ahh! Help , brothers!"
"iling!" Zhou Tong and Zhou Tai simultaneously scread as they tried to save their sister, but the hole swiftly vanished. "Damn it! The traps in this maze are also disappearing faster than usual!"
"What should we do now?"
"What else?" Zhou Tong imdiately walked forward again. "The trap must have sent iling to another area, so we must move quickly to find her. She will be in danger if it sends her to the people of the Huangfu Kingdom, and they will use her to pressure our father."
Zhou Tai followed his elder brother with a gloomy expression. "If they really do that, iling will definitely die, as our father doesn't care about us, and we are just tools to him."
Zhou Tong chose not to comnt on it, especially since he had long been aware of it. "Move faster!"
.
.
.
anwhile, Zhou iling fell into a deep hole filled with red water, drenching her body. She looked up, her expression turning serious as she realized the depth of the hole and the flight restrictions in each area of the maze, which prevented her from flying out.
"Since when was there a place like this in the maze? Has this place been here for a long ti?" Zhou iling imdiately stood up and walked toward one of the walls before touching it. "At least I didn't et those people, so I can rest assured. However, this hole is too deep, and the walls are very slippery."
Zhou iling imdiately dried her upper body, enveloped it with Qi, and jumped up. She grabbed two small rocks jutting out of the wall, and her feet stepped on the two rocks below. "Sigh! This place is really disgusting, so I must start climbing now."

With worried expressions, two n walked side by side, their sister's condition weighing heavily on their minds. "Do you think sothing bad will happen to Shouyi, Big Brother?"
"Why do you think like that?" Bai Chongxi asked his little brother with a frown. "You should think more positively and pray that nothing bad will happen to her."
Bai Renfu smiled bitterly in response. "I don't want anything bad to happen to her, but we know that there are many people who are eager to capture us, especially those demon races. If she falls into the hands of Xin Yan or Xin Hongwu, I'm sure they will use sothing to control her."
"I'm worried about that too, but we can't do anything to help her right now because we don't know her current location. We can only try to find her as quickly as possible." Bai Renfu nodded in agreent to his big brother, but several tree branches suddenly appeared from the two walls beside them. They imdiately tied their bodies and pulled them into the wall on each side, causing both of them to disappear from that location instantly.
A while later, Bai Chongxi was already in another area, but several large beasts imdiately confronted him. He hurriedly took out his sword to fight them, but their skin was too tough for it to penetrate, so he swiftly fled through the only path behind him. "This damn maze! Those beasts usually only appear in the inner area, but they're appearing in the outer area now! Tch! I hope Renfu and iling can protect themselves until I find them."
On the other hand, Zhou Tai arrived at a relatively safe place, and he found no signs of other living beings there. However, he didn't see any way out of the place, but he found a random arrangent of crystals on the north wall, so he hurried over to it.
"Haish! I'm not as smart as my big brother iling, and now I'm faced with a complicated puzzle." Since he had no other choice, Bai Renfu started trying to solve the puzzle.

"Why do you keep making a gloomy face, Yueliang?"
Xin Yueliang repeatedly stomped her feet on the ground. "Ugh! This maze is so annoying! I was hoping the next challenge would be the survival challenge so we could move to capture Zhang Fei and Xian Xianwu, but this challenge ca first."
"Haha." Xin Hongwu laughed upon hearing that. "Why are you so impatient? Even if we can capture them as quickly as you want, you still can't do anything to them as long as we're still in the tower, so you should be more patient."
Xin Yueliang let out a soft sigh before looking at the four roads in front of them. "So which path should we choose?"
"I don't know, and you can choose whichever path you like."
"Hmm?" Xin Yueliang made a thinking posture while considering between the four roads before heading towards the east path. "Let's take this road; I have a feeling that we will et one of them if we take this road."
Xin Hongwu smacked his forehead before following behind his little sister, and he also took out his black scythe to guard against any unfavorable situations.

"Fortunately, you moved quickly to catch us, Big Brother. Otherwise, we would have been separated from each other, and it would not be a favorable situation for us." Huangfu Xiaofan sighed softly.
Huangfu Lian just nodded and turned to his two sisters. "Are your tracking artifacts useful for finding the way out?"
"No." Huangfu Xiaoying and Huangfu Xiaoi answered with shakes of their heads. "The restrictions are too strong, and our artifacts are useless. Do you think it would be better to split into two groups?"
"Only a fool would split up in a place like this." Huangfu Lian imdiately led them through the twin paths in front of them. "Let's go; our main task for now is to find Xian Xianqin and Yun Xinyue, and we will also capture Zhang Fei, who is with them."
