As soon as Wang Chen materialized inside the maze, he surveyed his surroundings with caution to ensure that he was alone.
"Even if that Yue Mingluan sees through my plan, he won't be able to find me in here," Wang Chen muttered confidently to himself.
Wang Chen's confidence was rooted in the fact that he had returned to a complex maze labyrinth. The maze was filled with formations and it was easy to lose track of one's path, as Wang had previously experienced. After searching for almost three hours, Wang Chen had finally found the treasure. However, getting out of the labyrinth was another challenge. He spent an entire day trying to find a way out, but there were only two options available to him.
The two ways to escape the labyrinth were clear to Wang Chen - either destroy the eye of the main formation that maintained the labyrinth's state or find a way out.
At first, Wang Chen considered destroying the eye of formation, but he remembered that he had given a mission to a group of elite disciples. If they found him and his true identity was revealed, he would have to face them head-on.
Wang Chen knew that he could not defeat many disciples of the same stage as him. Moreover, the labyrinth was the perfect place to separate and kill them. Therefore, he let go of the idea of destroying the eye of formation and chose to find a way out.
It took Wang Chen an entire day to find his way out of the labyrinth, but he made it out alive.
….
Wang Chen regained his senses and retrieved the orb from his storage bag. He carefully scanned the area to see if there were any Elite disciples near him so he could take down.
His current plan was to eliminate all the Elite disciples who were isolated, as well as Yue Mingluan, before destroying the eye of the formation to create a path for his escape. He realized that it was a wise decision to postpone destroying the eye of the formation earlier because time was running out. With only two days left before the secret realm closed, he needed to act fast to accomplish the second part of his plan.
Wang Chen retrieved the orb from his storage space and scanned the area. He spotted a few red dots on the orb, indicating the presence of Elite disciples nearby. "Hmm, these guys seem to be scattered just like I ordered them to be. Perfect for my plan," he said with a smirk.
As he moved towards the first red dot, he saw an Elite disciple walking alone. Wang Chen attacked him with lightning-fast strikes, and the disciple didn't even get a chance to react before he fell to the ground, lifeless. "Not bad. I could use a little more challenge, though," Wang Chen mused as he continued on his mission.
One by one, he found and killed Elite disciples, using his skills and techniques to make each death more creative than the last. After each kill, he absorbed their Qi and blood with his Devouring physique, making him stronger with each victory.
As he continued on his path of destruction, he spotted some red dots on the orb. "These red dots are in a group, they must be Yue Mingluan and his followers," he muttered with a sly smile. "I will save them for last, as the final act is always the most satisfying."
Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him. "Senior, are you checking our performance?" one of the disciples asked.
Wang Chen turned around, his hand already gripping his sword. "Performance? I have no interest in such trivial matters," he replied coldly.
The disciple's eyes widened in shock as Wang Chen sliced off his hand with ease. "W-what did I do wrong?" the disciple stammered.
"You did nothing wrong. This is just a trap," Wang Chen said with a sinister smirk. "And you fell right into it."
As the disciple realized his fate, he tried to fight back. But it was no use. Wang Chen's skills and techniques were too advanced, and he killed the disciple in a matter of seconds. He then absorbed the disciple's Qi and blood with his Devouring physique.
Wang Chen continued on his path, finding and killing each Elite disciple in a similar manner. Some tried to run, others begged for mercy, but all met the same fate. With each kill, Wang Chen absorbed their Qi and blood, making him stronger and more ruthless.
...
Somewhere in the labyrinth, Yue Mingluan was growing increasingly frustrated. "This damn maze is more confusing than my ex-girlfriend's riddles. Every time we think we've found a fellow disciple, they disappear faster than a fart in the wind. And that huge red dot keeps taunting us, like a mosquito we can't swat," he grumbled to his followers. "I swear, if I ever get out of this labyrinth, I'm going to find whoever designed this place and give them a piece of my mind!"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Yue Mingluan's frustration. "Young Master Mingluan, I didn't think I would found you here but why are in a group?"
Startled, Yue Mingluan turned to see a fellow disciple approaching them.
"Who are you?" One of Yue Mingluan's followers stepped forward, eyeing the newcomer warily. "We cannot simply trust anyone who claims to be from our faction. You could be deceiving us and secretly plotting an attack against Young Master Mingluan."
"I am Xoung He, a True Disciple of our faction," announced Xoung He, his expression clouded with uncertainty as he spoke.
Yue Mingluan's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean when you said earlier 'why am I in a group' ?" Yue Mingluan questioned.
"Huh? Isn't it helpful for finding alone to search this vast labyrinth for Inheritance!" Xoung He replied.
"Inheritance? What the hell is happening, explain to me more!" Yue Mingluan demanded as he didn't understand what Xoung He was trying to say.
