He did not, however, reveal this secret to Ye Ningze, who was by his side. Clearly, he did not believe that telling Ye Ningze about this matter would bring him any benefit.
Moreover, if Ye Ningze were to die, he could then divide less with him. What was there not to like about that?
Besides, even if he gave him nothing, Ye Ningze would not dare to challenge him in the end.
The reason was simple: even with the protection of the Su family, the Feng family had completely broken ties with him.
Coupled with the Wu family, even with the Su family's protection, he would likely be unable to survive in the Sun Collective.
Therefore, Wu Qingfeng, standing before him, was confident that Ye Ningze would gain nothing this time.
But who could have imagined that Ye Ningze, who was in the midst of battle, would suddenly turn his head to glance back at Wu Qingfeng, revealing a peculiar smile?
This smile utterly stunned Wu Qingfeng. Then, he watched as Ye Ningze charged towards the adjacent mountain wall, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
It was precisely because of this that everyone present understood their current predicament.
This was a trap designed by Ye Ningze, and both individuals within it were Ye Ningze's prey.
Yet, at the same time, both felt a sense of disbelief, as their first reaction was to wonder if Ye Ningze had gone mad, daring to set a trap for both of them simultaneously.
After all, neither of them, whether in terms of family background, status, or personal strength, could be compared to Ye Ningze.
So how did Ye Ningze dare to design a trap for both of them? The contradiction was evident from the outset. Furthermore, Ye Ningze was merely under the Su family's protection, not a member of the Su family. So, what did he have to design a trap for the two heirs of the Feng and Wu families?
"Wu Qingfeng, you idiot. You still think you're so clever, yet you don't even realize you've been tricked. This time, I'll see how you escape this predicament."
Wu Qingfeng slowly shook his head and looked at the arrogant individual before him, speaking in an extremely cold voice:
"I don't know if I'm an idiot, but I can be certain that you are absolutely an idiot. You always lecture him with an arrogant tone. Even when trapped, you still manage to do something so foolish. Therefore, you are the biggest idiot in the world."
Even at this point, the two continued to retort, targeting each other and refusing to back down an inch.
This was the best moment to strike, but Ye Ningze chose not to act then. Their internal conflict seemed deliberately staged to lure Ye Ningze into making a move.
Ye Ningze was no fool, so he was unwilling to fall into their trap so easily.
It was precisely for this reason that after a moment, the cave fell into an eerie silence.
In truth, they were not without escape. There was a path before them, but they did not perceive it as a path; rather, they saw it as a trap.
This path was the sky above them. If they were to return the way they came, they would rather remain in this place.
After exchanging glances, both saw their reservations reflected in each other's eyes. Firstly, they were wary of each other.
Secondly, they were wary of Ye Ningze, this individual who had always been unassuming but had laid such a significant trap for them.
This indicated that Ye Ningze had been calculating their moves all along, his ambition exceeding their wildest imaginations.
Therefore, if Ye Ningze were not dealt with, he would remain a great threat.
Wu Qingfeng and Feng Tianyi both knew that continuing like this was not good. They had to do something, or both of them might perish here.
Thus, Feng Tianyi immediately began to act. He stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and his body shot out like a cannonball. He began to ascend continuously, seemingly trying to leap out of the large hole in the ground.
But who could have imagined that halfway up, his body would be struck down by an invisible force?
Feng Tianyi fell to the bottom and tried to climb up again, only to be struck down to the ground once more.
Feng Tianyi felt that this invisible force seemed to be targeting them, so no matter how many times they tried to climb up, the result would always be the same.
Gradually, Feng Tianyi began to abandon this foolish endeavor. After a moment, Wu Qingfeng also attempted to see if he could break free from the ground.
However, the result was even more tragic than Feng Tianyi's. They never expected that a mere Ye Ningze could put them in such a passive position.
If the path above was blocked, then they could only follow the route laid out by Ye Ningze.
Although they were reluctant, this was the only path before them.
But after entering this path, they discovered how terrifying it was, for the path before them was like a vast maze.
And they had no idea if they were at the starting point, the middle, or some other part of the maze.
Because of this, they could not make any effective guesses, nor could they find the true exit of this maze.
If they wanted to get out, the only way was to traverse the maze.
