"The moment these two died, those strategizing outside the maze would undoubtedly spread the news of their deaths, making the secret sequence useless."
Master Nine transmitted through Divine Thought, "The Heavenly Born Sect is indeed well-prepared. It seems they have long devised a plan against our strategy, making it difficult for our disguises to be effective. Moreover, with them overseeing the entire situation, dividing the enemy within this maze won’t be effective."
"We have eight third-generation disciples plus Xiaoyu, a total of nine at the Four Symbols Peak."
Master Nine transmitted through Divine Thought, "The Four Symbols Peak cultivators of the Heavenly Born Sect should be fewer than ours. Can’t we split them up and trap them in different maze passages, then eliminate them one by one?"
"This maze was merely formed by my mana."
Master shook his head slightly, "As long as the attacks reach the Four Symbols Peak level, they can forcibly break through the maze walls. With someone observing the overall situation outside the maze, there’s nothing we can do. We can only try to eliminate those cultivators not at the Four Symbols Peak."
"Could we eliminate the person outside the maze first?" Second Master pondered through Divine Thought.
"The aura of the person outside the maze is extremely obscure and hard to discern, likely not an ordinary Four Symbols Peak."
Master frowned, "Daring to remain alone outside the maze, it seems he isn’t afraid of us besieging him. Perhaps... he is the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect?"
The faces of Second Master and Master Nine changed immediately.
Someone who could become the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect must be outstanding among the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier Peak cultivators, far from being comparable to an ordinary Four Symbols Peak.
Different Heavenly Barriers only represent the different levels of Essence absorbed, but do not represent Daoist combat power!
The Tantian Sect focuses heavily on strange and mysterious disguises, making its combat power naturally weaker.
"Anyway, let’s first eliminate those beneath the Four Symbols Peak."
Master transmitted through Divine Thought, "Before the Heavenly Born Sect gathers together, let’s kill as many as we can."
Though it felt slow, the Divine Thought Transmission took only an instant. From killing two Heavenly Born Sect cultivators to finishing the exchange, barely a moment had passed.
Immediately, Master sensed the location of the enemies and manipulated the maze walls to reveal a gap, rushing directly towards the isolated enemy.
...
Outside the maze.
In the darkness that was darker than night, the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect floated in the air, his eyes burning with ghostly flames as he observed the situation within the maze, continuously transmitting commands through the Sound Transmission Cicadas.
"Bluefish, Cold Sturgeon is dead, erase the sequence."
"Winter Bream, Feiyu, Puffer, five people from the Tantian Sect are heading your way. Do not retreat; the maze passage behind you has turned into a dead end. Form a formation on the spot for self-protection. Our Heavenly Born Sect people are also breaking through the walls to assist. Hold on for five breaths."
"Autumn Carp, Silver Carp, turn right from the front of the maze. Baili Fengzhi is right there, just a Martial Cultivator at the lowest level of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier. You two team up and swiftly kill her."
"Yue Han, Silver Spot, proceed along this passage. The Azure Dragon Association will help you break through the floor. The Seventeenth Prince is directly below on the third level. Capture him immediately. Although you have no chance to escape the Sword Seeking Boat with the prince, you can use the Black Prison to guard the spot. Find some safe tools to torture him, causing the Tantian Sect to split their attention."
"Black Catfish, escape along the passage immediately..."
The Saint Heir of the Heavenly Born Sect watched the maze expressionlessly, issuing orders calmly.
Yet, he still had some doubts in his heart—
Why did this Prince act alone?
Only a Five Elements Heavenly Barrier cultivator who had trained for merely a month. What of it, even if he cultivated the Ancient God’s Way?
With just the physical body and Primordial Power of the Ancient God’s Way, he hadn’t even reached the peak of the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier. It would be impossible to learn much Martial Arts in a month; he’s probably still far from even the basic Micro level, essentially having no combat power.
Even the lowest level Four Symbols Heaven Barrier cultivators could easily handle this Prince. To act alone?
However, this Prince probably understood that they wouldn’t dare kill a prince, intentionally coming out to disperse the combat strength of the Heavenly Born Sect and making the most of his effect though...
The Saint Heir felt some disdain in his heart.
He had thought of this long ago, so he had prepared the ’Black Prison’ beforehand. Just by sending out two lowest-level Four Symbols Heaven Barrier cultivators was enough.
Dispersing this little combat strength wouldn’t affect anything.
Besides...
With him presiding, there was no fear whatsoever.
...
"Clang!"
A cold gleam flickered a few times on the wall, directly tearing apart the maze wall.
Behind the wall, a young man with a slightly furrowed brow was revealed.
It was Lin Yue.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two shadows flashed by. Two Heavenly Born Sect cultivators in black robes appeared beside Lin Yue, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Seventeenth Prince, apologies."
The person on the left rubbed his hands; a black rope formed of mana transformed into black light, wrapping around Lin Yue’s body, binding his wrists, and his ankles likewise.
Lin Yue only frowned, looking ahead at the black-robed man holding a gleaming blade edge.
This person who could forcibly tear through the maze walls set by Master was surely at the Four Symbols Peak, much stronger than the two beside him.
"Trouble for Protector Yuan."
The two Heavenly Born Sect cultivators beside Lin Yue were also very respectful.
To become a protector of the Heavenly Born Sect meant being of the peak level of the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, and naturally held a status higher than the two of them.
"Mm."
Protector Yuan nodded slightly, then waved his hand. A miniature black prison flew out of his sleeve, and after landing on the ground, quickly expanded into a pitch-black and sturdy prison.
