"The snow has never been this heavy before, so tonight seems a bit strange. Could it be that the Infernal King found us and purposely created such a huge blizzard? " Qing Ling muttered to himself and attempted to use his sword to pluck at the pile of snow. Soon enough, he discovered that all his attempts were futile. Finally, he frowned and said, "Forget it. Since we have already reached this point, it doesn't matter if we use spells or not!"
As he said that, he pushed forward with one hand. Suddenly, a strong wind rose up from the ground; it was stronger than a snowstorm by three points. The thick layer of snow at the intersection was lifted up by the wind, like a carpet.
"Alright, I've finally found the mark!" Qing Ling let out a sigh of relief as she ran to the foot of a silver tree.
I was a little worried. "Didn't they say that one can't use spells just because they are close to the Demon King's Mansion? If you create such a strong airflow, you will definitely be discovered, right? "
"If we don't use any spells, we won't be able to walk out of this maze. If we can't find the way, what's the difference between us and being discovered by the Infernal King?"
That made sense, so I calmed myself down and walked over while supporting Shaodi. "How is it? In which direction should we go next?"
Qing Ling looked at the symbol and pointed his sword towards the north.
"Last time, I met the Infernal King thirty miles north. That is the main palace that he is residing in. The surrounding area is filled with traps and extremely powerful spirit formations. "No," he said.
I nodded emphatically. "I'll listen to you."
I helped Young Di to follow Qing Ling north. However, at this moment, he tugged on my sleeve. "Wait a moment, I have something to say."
This was the first thing that Shaodi had said to us since we had set out on our journey. I was a little surprised, but Qingling also stopped in her tracks.
"That direction is wrong. That is not the way to the Demon Lord's Palace." "Your markings are wrong," he said to Qing Ling.
Qing Ling frowned. "You know the way?"
Youngblood timidly shrank back and retreated behind me. Only then did he give a soft grunt of assent.
Oh right, Shaodi said that before he was imprisoned by the Infernal King, he was previously bestowed the title of King of the White Realm by the Xuanyuan Emperor.
When I thought of this, I was overjoyed. However, Qing Ling didn't know who Young Di was. He asked, "Then which direction do you think we should go next?"
I turned to look at Young Di Di with an encouraging gaze. After a moment of hesitation, he finally pointed his finger to the east. "The Demon Lord's residence is in the east."
"East?" Qing Ling let out a cold laugh. After which, his expression turned extremely frightening! With a clang, he drew his sword from its scabbard. Suddenly, his vision blurred and he rushed towards Shaodi like a bolt of lightning! Before I could react, his sword of cold light was already at Shaodi's throat. He asked coldly, "You, who the hell are you?!"
Eh? What was going on? I was stunned before I quickly pulled at the rack in front of me. "Hey, Qing Ling!" Don't hurt Shaodi! "
Qing Ling's gaze was sharp as he stared at Young Di. He didn't even spare me a glance as he shouted, "Are you a spy sent by the Infernal King?!"
"What spy? You've misunderstood, Qing Ling. Young master Di is a good man!" I was worried that Qing Ling's impulsive action would injure Shaodi. That child was already on the verge of death, but he couldn't take any more torment.
Ah, that's right. Young Di was once the king of the White World. I haven't had the chance to deal with Qing Ling on this matter. Did he misunderstand something?
I hastened to explain, "Qingling, don't worry. Shaodi is the king of the White World. He was trapped in that tower by the Infernal King! He's a victim too, just like us, so he's not a bad guy! "
"The King of the White World?" Qing Ling remained unmoved and even sneered, "How can the king of the White Realm not know the way to the main hall? "Will it lure us into a trap?" He turned to me. "Do you know, White Boy, where the Orient leads?"
I shook my head as Qing Ling continued, "There is an ice lake thirty kilometers to the east. That place is filled with danger and is full of monsters. It is not the road to the end at all! He wants all of us to die?! "
"Huh?" I was stunned. Of the two of them, who was right?
I was a little lost. Qing Ling's expression was one that couldn't be doubted, and Young Supreme Cloud had his chest puffed up as well, with an expression that said 'I'm absolutely right'. Who should I trust?
Seeing that I was hesitating, Young Didi was probably a little anxious. He hurriedly shouted, "No, I'm right!" The main hall was located in the east, while the frozen lake was in the north! "White boy, don't go with him. If you go to the north you will encounter monsters and be eaten!"
"This …"
I was at a loss. I squatted down on the snow and started to pull at my hair. This was a matter of life and death. What should I do?
Qing Ling and Shaodi disagreed. One wanted to go north, and the other wanted to go east. They were both stubborn and unyielding. Qing Ling had a thousand-year-old icy face, full of murderous intent. Although Shaodi's aura was a bit weaker, she still stuck out her chest without any signs of retreat.
Both of them are beauties, and this matter is related to life and death, who am I supposed to choose? I can't bear to do anything about it.
I tried to mediate.
He first smiled at Qing Ling. "Qing Ling, you …"
"My mark is absolutely correct!" It was an unquestionable answer.
I turned to Young Di. "That Young Di, you …"
"White boy, you saved my life. Do you think I would lie to you?" It was the sound of sincere fists.
Sigh, this is really embarrassing! I tried to mediate, but to no avail. I crouched back down on the snow to pull my hair. "What should I do?"
Perhaps it was because I was too distressed, but the taciturn Tsui Ling bent down to me and taught me: "You must believe me, White Man. We were following my previous markings all the way, and if my markings were wrong, we wouldn't be able to get to this place by now. Along the way there are 981 crossroads, and there are 749 roads for each of them to choose from. We cannot go wrong in every step, or we will end up in a dead end or fall into the trap of the Devil! If my mark was wrong, how could we possibly stand only fifteen kilometers away from the main hall? "
As he spoke, he lifted his head to look at Young Di. His gaze was cold and tinged with provocation.
Under the pressure of Qing Ling's domineering aura, Shaodi visibly flinched, but quickly straightened his back and said in a weak but firm voice, "Your previous mark is correct, but this mark in the end isn't." As the king of the White World, how could I not be familiar with my own territory? One thing you may not know is that the main hall of the Maze, the exit from the outside world, is not static! It could be in the north three months ago, or it could also be in the east three months later! If you want to determine the exact location of the treasure, you can only rely on the constellation. I'm afraid you don't know this, right? "
His voice was full of confidence, and this was the first time I had ever seen such an arrogant young man.
