Above the maze, Jiang Lan stepped on the branches and moved forward bit by bit.
This way, he would be able to see more clearly.
He could also find out if there were any suspicious people below.
Right now, his target was the mastermind behind the puppets. He wasn’t too far away, and he would arrive soon.
He had to make use of the two puppets before he was able to locate him.
“I do seem a little weak.”
This thought popped up in Jiang Lan’s mind.
He had originally planned to become an immortal a bit later and suppress his surface cultivation. However, he suddenly felt that it was a bad idea.
At the very least, he should step into the immortal realm like ordinary geniuses.
However, even if he advanced at the speed of a genius, he would still be criticized.
But this was the limit.
If he were to become an immortal at a speed faster than an ordinary genius, he would attract unwanted attention and it would not benefit him.
He had heard Xiao Yu’s last sentence.
There wasn’t much feeling, but it still touched him.
No matter what the other party said, he could not ignore it.
He needed to respond to Xiao Yu’s kindness and not let it be wasted.
“According to the normal cultivation pace of a genius, I will become an immortal in another four hundred years. At that time, I will have to get married. This is another troublesome matter.
However, once the marriage is over, it means that everything is set. Those who target me because of the marriage will choose to give up. It’s not without benefits either.”
However, he thought of another problem.
What about his heavenly tribulation?
“…”
It seemed like he still needed to go out of Kunlun to gain experience and then pretend to transcend the heavenly tribulation outside.
“There is still four hundred years. There’s no rush.”
Perhaps because of other matters, it might even take him five hundred years.
Five hundred years later, it was unknown what his cultivation was.
However, it should be somewhat difficult to be invincible in Kunlun.
His current goal was to see through his master’s cultivation level.
Then, his next goal would be to surpass his master.
After that, his goal would be to surpass the Sect Master.
That was about it.
Jiang Lan didn’t have the time to think further because they had arrived.
He landed on the ground and looked around.
There was someone adjusting the array formation. It was pretty hard to deal with an array formation expert.
“En?”
Suddenly, fluctuations from the array formation came over.
He leaped onto a branch.
And took a look behind.
“The array formation I left behind was triggered. Is it Xiao Yu?”
Under normal circumstances, no one would walk the path above the maze except for Xiao Yu.
The reason why he left behind the array formation was to prevent anyone from finding trouble with the three of them.
It was not easy to pass through an ordinary maze. Thus, as long as he was on guard against anyone coming from the sky, he could easily protect those three.
He didn’t expect his Senior Sister to suddenly rush over.
“It should be because of that puppet.”
If someone targeted Xiao Yu, then as her fiancé, he would naturally be targeted as well.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Lan headed straight ahead.
After dealing with this person, he would return and just wait for this trip to the mystic realm to end peacefully.
Xiao Yu’s attainments in array formations were inferior to his, but the array formation he left behind was not difficult to break either. He did not know how long it could last.
For safety’s sake, he couldn’t stay for too long.
Indeed, having a fiancée was more troublesome.
It couldn’t be said that he was disgusted. He could still accept it for now.
…
In an empty ground surrounded by trees.
Beside the yellow soil.
Mo Yang squatted on the ground and was making a clay figurine with both his hands. Just as he was about to finish, he suddenly frowned.
He looked into the distance.
“Two of them have died. One was headed in the direction of Jiang Lan, while the other was meant to attract Ao Longyu’s attention. Did Jiang Lan hide his strength?”
He had some doubts about Jiang Lan’s side, but he was not surprised by Yu Mo’s side.
If Ao Longyu attacked, it was inevitable that someone would die.
He just had a feeling that he was being watched.
“Should I change locations? But it’s not easy to walk around here.”
This was a maze. He could borrow the power of the array formations, but once he was out of range, he would become an ordinary person that would be affected by the maze.
It was unknown where he would end up.
“Leaving would only cause me to fall into a predicament. I lack a trump card.”
If he was in a familiar location and was in his own territory, he could maximize his battle prowess.
Even if it was Ao Longyu, he was confident that he could trap her here and then leave on his own.
Killing Ao Longyu was too difficult.
But it was enough to leave some seeds of doubt.
He had no intention of killing anyone on this trip.
And he couldn’t kill anyone either.
Ao Longyu was too powerful for him.
Jiang Lan wasn’t strong, but he wasn’t much stronger than him.
Unless he went against him himself.
Similarly, even the strongest Ao Longyu could not do anything to him. He really did not need to care too much about others.
“Jiang Lan’s talent isn’t enough, and his performance is too mediocre. The chances of winning him over are very high. As long as we succeed, the entrance to the Netherworld will be our greatest trump card. ”
Mo Yang muttered to himself.
At this moment, he was holding a small person in his hand, as if he was speaking to this small person.
“What if you fail?”
A voice suddenly sounded in front of Mo Yang.
The voice had no origin and no trace.
It was as if it had appeared out of nowhere.
Mo Yang’s heart tightened, but he maintained a calm expression.
He looked up.
It was a young man.
His originally calm face suddenly became a bit startled, and his pupils shrunk from shock.
“Junior Brother?” Mo Yang smiled.
“Junior Brother is nearby too?”
It was Jiang Lan.
Just as he was about to kill his opponent with a single punch, he suddenly heard the other party mentioning the Netherworld Entrance. This made him want to figure things out.
The Netherworld Entrance was his residence. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was its guardian.
As a late-stage Human Immortal, he more or less had the strength to protect it.
Since he had found someone who wanted to attack the Netherworld’s Entrance, it meant that there was a potential threat to his residence.
His first thought was to investigate the situation and see if he could deal with it.
If he was too weak to handle the matter, then he could peacefully enter seclusion. When he had sufficient strength, he would then take action. There were some things that couldn’t be rushed, and if they weren’t directed at him, then there would be enough buffer time.
His master was also his backing.
However, it would be much more convenient for him to know the other party’s thoughts. At the same time, he would have a direction to work towards.
Hence, Jiang Lan decided to let Mo Yang stay alive for a bit longer.
In order to ensure that nothing unexpected happened, he prepared a Dharma treasure nearby to ensure that the other party could not escape.
A late-stage Essence Soul cultivator was very powerful.
He could not rule out the possibility that the other party had divine powers.
He had to make necessary preparations, and he could not underestimate his opponent.
“I would like to ask Senior Brother some questions. Is it convenient for you?”
Seeing that the other party was being polite, he decided to be polite as well.
“Junior Brother, please ask. However, I have some questions later as well. I hope Junior Brother can help me solve them.” Mo Yang smiled gently.
As his voice fell, he stood up and let go of the clay figurine.
His fingers moved secretly.
The surrounding array formation slowly activated, as if no one had noticed it.
“I want to ask Senior Brother what do you people intend to do with the Netherworld’s Entrance.” Jiang Lan asked softly.
“It’s a long story.” A glint flashed across Mo Yang’s eyes.
However, he still maintained his smile.
He still had an amiable look.
“Then please make it short, Senior Brother,” Jiang Lan said calmly.
“Err, that’s not impossible.” Mo Yang activated the array formation and felt relieved.
He stretched out his hand and said lazily.
“My arm is a little sore, Junior…”
The moment he finished speaking, Mo Yang realized that Jiang Lan had appeared in front of him.
Then, he saw Jiang Lan’s hand grabbing his arm.
At this moment, he panicked. However, before he could think further, he heard a crack.
In the next second, he saw his arm being forcefully twisted off.
Blood flowed.
Jiang Lan’s calm voice sounded like an ordinary greeting.
“Is Senior Brother’s arm sore?”
“Ahhh!”
Pain shot through him.
