815: Chapter 236_5 815: Chapter 236_5 Cao Zhen looked at Qian Jiao’s work and slightly raised his eyebrows.
He had seen the Eclipse Demon in action and had a rough idea of the cultivation base of the Eclipse Demon.
Now that Qian Jiao had made her move, he discovered that her strength seemed to surpass that of the Eclipse Demon.
So, what kind of person had he chosen initially?
Had he chosen the weakest among the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection in the Sun and Moon Demon Sect?
Although there was a lot of thunder, it wasn’t particularly terrifying and hadn’t much affected the two of them.
After blocking the bolts of lightning, they continued forward, aware of the dangers ahead, so they became even more cautious.
Cao Zhen watched for a long time, waiting until dawn, only to find that the Eclipse Demon and Qian Jiao were still endlessly wandering in the corridor, unsure of when they would stop.
It was already light, and he stopped observing them and flew forward with the others.
A day later, that night, Cao Zhen found a cave and resumed observing the Eclipse Demon.
He was surprised to discover that after a day and a night, the Eclipse Demon and Qian Jiao were still aimlessly wandering in the labyrinth.
“No, we’ve been down this road before.”
In the corridor, Qian Jiao suddenly stopped and tapped her foot on the ground.
There was a faint trace where her shoe had touched, which was hard to notice if not carefully observed.
Cao Zhen noticed Qian Jiao’s actions and was struck with a thought.
The prince had talked about leaving marks on the walls.
However, Qian Jiao evidently hadn’t done so; instead, she had left the marks under her feet.
This woman had her own schemes.
“Come on, let’s head back and try another path.”
Qian Jiao quickly turned around, leading the Eclipse Demon back the way they came.
Yet, when they passed through the entrance of this corridor to the previous one, both of their eyes widened in shock.
“This…
This isn’t the corridor we just came from.
The one we came from had three passages, but this one has four passages.”
The Eclipse Demon looked at the corridors ahead, his expression turning extremely grave, “So, entering one passage and then coming back doesn’t mean returning to the original path.
With this, exploring all paths just got harder.
We’ve walked so many paths and only now discovered two we’ve repeated.
We don’t know when we’ll ever find our way out of this labyrinth.”
“No matter how difficult the labyrinth, it has its limits.
If we keep walking, we’ll eventually find the end, we just don’t know when.”
Qian Jiao murmured softly and continued moving forward.
They had just taken a few steps when suddenly, footsteps echoed from behind them.
Someone was there!
Qian Jiao quickly turned back to look.
Suddenly, she saw a figure appear in her line of sight.
It was a man dressed in white.
Upon seeing Qian Jiao and the Eclipse Demon, his face showed a look of surprise, “Qian Jiao, Eclipse Demon?
Are the two of you always together?
Haven’t you separated?”
The Eclipse Demon, seeing the man, revealed a delighted expression and called out, “Qian Wu, my Dao Companion, we finally see someone again.
We’ve walked till now and this is the first time we’ve encountered one of our own.
As for separating, we thought about it, but we found this passage quite dangerous.
For safety, we decided to stay together.”
Qian Wu’s face showed confusion at hearing this, “Dangerous?
There are indeed dangers in this passage, but they shouldn’t be enough to make the two of you walk together.
Those dangers are indeed threats for other Golden Core Stages, but are they really a threat for someone of Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection?
You could face those dangers separately.
Walking together like this surely slows down the exploration pace.
Let’s walk together for now and later we can all take separate paths.”
As he spoke, he stepped forward, looking at a blank wall nearby.
Frowning at the unpainted wall, he said in displeasure, “Didn’t the prince say to leave marks on the wall?
Why didn’t you leave any marks?”
“Marks?
We did leave marks,” Qian Jiao said, equally puzzled.
She even stepped beside Qian Wu, pointing to the wall, “Here, we definitely left marks after entering…”
“Where are they?” As Qian Wu looked in the direction Qian Jiao was pointing, his face suddenly changed drastically.
Behind Qian Jiao, ten different phenomena Golden Elixirs suddenly appeared, and in her hands, a split decorative ball appeared.
She was holding half of the decorative ball in one hand.
With both hands swinging, she brought them together as if the heavens and the earth were squeezing towards the center!
A terrifying force headed straight towards Qian Wu, as if trying to crush Dragon Gagon alive.
“You dare attack!”
Qian Wu, greatly alarmed, quickly retreated.
Simultaneously, from his hands, he pulled out a golden bracelet and smashed it forward.
In the next moment, the bracelet exploded with a thunderous sound, and waves of brutal, gloomy, indifferent, and deadly Evil Qi surged out.
