Chapter 182 The Riddle

But who could have imagined that Ye Ningze's lips would curve into a slight smile, and before her, the so-called kingly dignity was nothing more than a fart.

Next, Ye Ningze struck the Black Mist Absolute Beast King with fist after fist.

To Ye Ningze, this Black Mist Absolute Beast King was undoubtedly a qualified thug, and he also had a group of lackeys. What was most curious was that these guys seemed to generate black mist themselves.

This way, they could essentially create an environment that was most advantageous for concealing their figures.

Ye Ningze's fists, thrown thousands of times, landed on the creature. Finally, he lost his patience.

Because the Black Mist Absolute Beast King felt as if every single one of his cells had been completely destroyed by Ye Ningze.

Ye Ningze didn't know what kind of power he had used, but he felt as if his entire body was being melted by lava.

This sensation made one feel that life was worse than death, yet there was no power to resist.

This feeling had completely broken the Black Mist Absolute Beast King. In the end, he could only say to Ye Ningze with resignation:

"Whatever you want, I will agree to it, as long as you are willing to let me go and stop tormenting me."

Ye Ningze finally revealed a foxy smile. This was the moment he had been waiting for. What he needed was simple: the other party's loyalty.

Therefore, as long as the other party was willing to offer their loyalty, Ye Ningze saw no need to continue tormenting them.

Such a simple question was sometimes so complicated. Ye Ningze looked at the creature before him, then gave a slight nod, and finally said with a sense of inevitability:

"If you had known this, why did you act that way in the first place? If you had made this choice earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much, would you?"

After Ye Ningze finished speaking, the Black Mist Absolute Beast King before him was utterly despairing. The reason was simple: the power emanating from Ye Ningze was too astonishing.

This left him with no way to even consider resisting Ye Ningze. It was precisely because of this that Ye Ningze knew the other party had no way to resist him, and he would eventually control everything about them.

After Ye Ningze gained control of everything, he did not immediately order the Black Mist Absolute Beast King and his subordinates to cease their actions.

The reason was simple: Ye Ningze wanted to take this opportunity to help someone eliminate certain targets.

This was something Ye Ningze and Su Xue had discussed beforehand. Once Ye Ningze had an opportunity, he had to help Su Xue eliminate some members of the Su family as much as possible.

As for why Su Xue would do this, even a fool would know her true intentions.

These people were likely confidantes of the Grand Elder, and only by eliminating them would Su Xue and her faction's power be truly safe.

Therefore, under Ye Ningze's arrangement, these individuals soon lost their lives.

It was just that these fellows seemed to have no idea why they had lost their lives.

They only believed that these were trials they had to endure in their cultivation.

About half an hour later, all the dense fog dispersed, and all the monsters retreated like a tide.

Everyone thought they had passed this checkpoint, but they didn't expect that the one who ended this checkpoint was none other than Ye Ningze.

The reason was simple: the people they were meant to eliminate had essentially been eliminated. If the remaining people all died here, it would seem suspicious.

It was precisely for this reason that Ye Ningze chose to voluntarily end the battle.

The first checkpoint was passed so easily, but the second checkpoint that followed was the true test.

This test was not just for Ye Ningze and the others; even the elites of the Su family did not know how to proceed when facing such a trial.

There was a vast area before them, resembling a maze. They could only find their way through this maze to leave and enter the next level.

But finding a way out of this maze was an incredibly difficult task.

This maze seemed to possess a special magic, capable of making one lose their sense of direction the moment they entered.

The maze was already quite complex, and coupled with the fact that it instantly disoriented anyone who entered, this situation would cause people to get lost unknowingly.

They might even wander in this vast maze forever.

What was even more terrifying was that the maze was different for everyone.

This meant that the exit each person sought might also be different. Some believed this maze was alive, constantly changing based on what each person experienced and encountered.

If that were the case, how could this maze be deciphered?

Everyone present did not know how to cope. Of course, besides this, Ye Ningze was even more worried about one thing.

Once they entered this maze, they would immediately confront many aspects of their lives.

Ye Ningze was the first to enter the maze. As he stepped into it, he felt emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure surging within him like a tide.

Although Ye Ningze was reluctant to admit it, this feeling was indeed quite uncomfortable.

Therefore, whether these people could pass these trials was a significant question.

Ye Ningze looked at the surrounding walls, finding it incredible. Who had built this place, and why were the trials here so intimately connected with human nature?

This alone was quite astonishing, and what did people want to gain from being here?

Some people had indeed entered this place before, but no one knew what was truly inside.

They only knew that what was inside was extraordinary, even considered a rare treasure.

Su Xue suddenly came to Ye Ningze's side. Ye Ningze said to Su Xue with some concern:

"This vast space seems quite unfriendly to us, and its trials are becoming more and more uncomfortable with each passing one. What do you think about this?"

After Ye Ningze spoke, Su Xue was completely shocked. She hadn't expected Ye Ningze to have thoroughly seen through the essence of this maze in such a short time.

It was precisely because of this that the maze felt so perplexing.

And that was why Ye Ningze had such questions, but these questions had no answers.
