You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Chapter 138 - 56. Labyrinth 2

"Shi… Shi..."

The dense white fog barrier on the surface of the Flying Boat violently undulated, and in an instant, turned into wisps of white gas that were sucked into the massive phantom of the black dog!

In no time, nearly ninety-nine percent of the white fog barrier was depleted by the black dog!

In an instant, the Sword Seeking Boat had already lost its protection!

"Kill."

In a cold, indifferent command, one could see from all directions in the night, twenty to thirty beams hurled towards the people on the deck, carrying tremendous murderous intent!

"It’s worthy of the Twelfth Prince, among the array treasures that have never been revealed before, there actually lies such a heavy treasure…"

Master’s eyes were cold as he stomped on the deck of the Sword Seeking Boat. Mana surged from his body like it cost him nothing, beginning to activate the Sword Seeking Boat.

"Boom!"

The vast Sword Seeking Boat suddenly shook and began to undergo astonishing changes!

On the deck, walls writhed and twisted like long snakes, suddenly rising from the ground, and even a large canopy emerged, completely covering everything above!

In a moment, the entire Flying Boat had transformed into a massive multi-layered rectangular building, completely sealed off from all sides.

And the twenty Heavenly Born Sect Cultivators rushing towards the Flying Boat were also wrapped within.

In the night, a slender and tall figure in a Black Robe stood in the air, gazing at the abrupt transformation of the Sword Seeking Boat.

His handsome face was pale yet sinister, with a black crescent moon mark visible between his eyebrows, and his eyes contained deep red dark flames, his aura cold and filled with endless murderous intent.

"Saint Heir."

A figure entirely enshrouded in black fog emerged from the night, appearing behind the sinister man in the Black Robe.

"Is there any sign of reinforcement?" asked the man known as the Saint Heir.

"None found."

The black fog figure whispered, "The hidden forces of the Fourteenth Prince and Prince Cheng are nearly equal. After full restraint, no additional help can be dispatched. It was not easy for Prince Cheng to dispatch us, and he even bestowed upon us the treasure of the Night Howling Sun-Eating Array. Saint Heir, this time you must succeed, failure is not an option."

"Don’t worry, the Tantian Sect is already trapped in a jar."

The Heavenly Born Sect Saint Heir, observing the peculiar building the Flying Boat had become with a calm expression, noted, "It’s indeed very special that this treasure, the Sword Seeking Boat, has transformed into a maze, segregating our people from the Heavenly Born Sect."

The black fog figure spoke, "Saint Heir, do you have a method to break through?"

"Prince Cheng had already anticipated this scenario."

The fire in the eyes of the Heavenly Born Sect Saint Heir faintly blazed, as if his gaze could penetrate everything, "It’s merely a maze."

...

Inside the maze transformed from the Sword Seeking Boat.

The winding maze passageways seemed endless, every ten feet on the ceiling had a Long Bright Pearl embedded, and the walls and floors were exactly the same, just by looking it was difficult to discern direction.

Two Heavenly Born Sect Cultivators walked cautiously within the maze.

Among this batch of Heavenly Born Sect Cultivators, these two were only average, having mastered the Taiyin and Taiyang of the Four Symbols Essence.

After all, the twenty or so Four Symbols Practitioners were barely assembled, with only a few at Four Symbols Peak, a significant part were at the lowest level of the Four Symbols, simply equipped with the most maximized Magic Treasures and Miracle Items.

Walking through this completely identical maze for a while, the end was nowhere in sight, and they dared not separate at intersections, otherwise, they’d be defeated one by one.

Suddenly—

After turning a corner, they found three identical black robed figures appearing in the corridor ahead, also from the Heavenly Born Sect.

"Hmm?"

The three cultivators from the opposite side didn’t approach, but displayed a wary expression.

The leading one immediately shouted, "State the secret passphrase!"

Among the two, one immediately said, "Twelve ounces of hairtail, three Essence Pearls!"

The other said, "Five ounces of cold sturgeon, seven Essence Pearls!"

The three cultivators from the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief and immediately approached the two, nodding at the same time, "The passphrase is correct, you aren’t disguised as people from the Tantian Sect."

The two also sighed in relief and said, "What is your passphrase?"

"Our passphrase is..."

As the three approached, a cold, ethereal voice suddenly echoed in the ears of the two Heavenly Born Sect Cultivators:

"Hairtail, cold sturgeon, the ones you are contacting now are disguised from the Tantian Sect, take action!"

The two’s faces drastically changed.

...

A few moments later.

The bodies of the two Heavenly Born Sect Cultivators fell to the ground in the maze passageway with a thud.

And the three had transformed into an elder, an elegant young master, and a beautiful young woman.

It was none other than Yu Shiqi’s Master, Second Master, and Master Nine!

"Can the people of the Heavenly Born Sect see through our disguises?"

Master Nine furrowed his brows and used Divine Thought Transmission.

After mastering the Four Symbols Essence, the Divine Soul undergoes transformation, allowing for the use of Divine Thought to transmit sound over short distances, with the transmission speed almost instantaneous.

"Probably not." Second Master gently shook his head, transmitted through Divine Thought, "If they could see through our disguises, they would have fled immediately instead of letting us approach."

Master suddenly pointed his fingertip, releasing an invisible force that probed into the ear of a corpse on the ground, immediately extracting a small green insect that resembled a summer cicada, already dead.

"Sound Transmission Cicada."

Master narrowed his eyes, transmitted through Divine Thought, "It seems someone outside the maze can see through the obstacles of the maze, distinguishing non-ally individuals, and relayed the message to those inside the maze."

"So, even if we know the passphrase and disguise ourselves as these two, it won’t work anymore?" Master Nine slightly frowned.
