Chapter 1251 1162: Pursuit
When Luo Yuan saw himself surrounded by hundreds of Demon Cultivators led by the Three Great Demon Venerable, he was completely desperate. He hurriedly shouted, "Masters, seniors, this has nothing to do with me, it's all his doing, it was him."
While speaking, Luo Yuan pointed at Wang Yan.
Upon hearing Luo Yuan's words, Wang Yan slowly turned his head, glanced at Luo Yuan, and said, "Didn't you say you would always follow me? You betrayed me as soon as danger came?"
Luo Yuan gritted his teeth, stepped back several paces away from Wang Yan, and shouted, "You're already unable to protect yourself now. With so many seniors and masters here, I think you should surrender."
At this, a cold smile appeared in Wang Yan's eyes. He nodded and said, "Alright, gentlemen, aren't you after that Black Spear? Actually, it's right here in my hand."
Saying that, Wang Yan raised his right hand, and the Soul-Breaking Spear indeed appeared in his hand.
Seeing that Black Spear, greed shone in everyone's eyes, and they stared wide-eyed at the Soul-Breaking Spear.
Wang Yan pushed his palm forward, and the Soul-Breaking Spear slowly flew ahead, landing precisely in Luo Yuan's hands.
Luo Yuan was shocked, as if holding a hot potato, and hurriedly tried to throw away the Soul-Breaking Spear.
However, before he could throw it away, the Three Great Demon Venerable and two Half-Venerable rushed toward Luo Yuan, five hands reaching simultaneously to grab him.
Luo Yuan was even more terrified. As his body retreated swiftly, the Soul-Breaking Spear was about to be thrown.
But the Soul-Breaking Spear seemed to stick to Luo Yuan's hand, making it impossible to toss away.
Luo Yuan was both shocked and frightened. At that moment, he realized again that he had made another mistake.
He had warned himself countless times never to provoke Wang Yan, but because the Three Great Demon Venerable were present, he forgot this, resulting in immediate retribution.
Luo Yuan hurriedly looked up at Wang Yan, seeing that everyone was chasing him while Wang Yan, standing aside, was completely ignored.
Wang Yan leisurely turned and walked slowly into the maze.
At this point, Luo Yuan's intestines churned with hatred; once again, he became Wang Yan's scapegoat.
The anger in his heart surged to his head. As a dignified Governor, he had been played by Wang Yan over and over today.
More importantly, he didn't even know who was playing him, nor what they looked like.
In his rage, Luo Yuan pointed at Wang Yan and shouted, "He's getting away. He's the real culprit!"
Upon hearing Luo Yuan, everyone glanced at Wang Yan, but by then, Wang Yan had already disappeared into the maze.
Originally, they didn't pay much attention to Wang Yan, and since he had already entered the maze, they wouldn't bother searching for him.
Thus, everyone merely glanced before turning their attention back.
But when they turned their attention back to Luo Yuan, they became furious.
Because they saw that the Black Spear, which had just been in Luo Yuan's hand, was now nowhere to be seen.
At this point, everyone assumed Luo Yuan had deliberately diverted their attention to hide the Soul-Breaking Spear.
"Where's the spear?"
Venerable Zidan, wounded by Soldier Terracotta Warriors, was already furious and roared even louder when he saw the Black Spear disappear again.
Luo Yuan was petrified, as the Black Spear had followed him when he didn't want it.
Now the Black Spear had vanished as he wished, but at the worst possible moment.
In fact, Luo Yuan had no idea that the Soul-Breaking Spear was Wang Yan's Soul Skill, appearing and disappearing at Wang Yan's mere thought.
Venerable Ghost Valley coldly said, "Luo Yuan, you're bold enough to play tricks in front of us. Hmph, I'll cut you into pieces today until we find that Black Spear."
Hearing this, Luo Yuan wailed in despair, trembling all over, wishing he could slap himself a few times.
Every time he provoked Wang Yan, it led to some catastrophic misfortune for himself, yet he never learned his lesson.
Seeing that he truly couldn't defend himself, Luo Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, since you want the Black Spear, I'll give it to you."
At this, all five strong beings looked coldly at Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan reached into his bosom, took out a Storage Bag, and shouted, "Here it is, take it."
With that, Luo Yuan threw the Storage Bag into the air.
However, the five strong beings did not chase the Storage Bag and continued surrounding Luo Yuan.
Venerable Ghost Valley coldly said, "Do you think we're children to be fooled? To think a mere empty Storage Bag could lead us away?"
Luo Yuan said grimly, "The bag is definitely not empty."
With those words, the Storage Bag falling from mid-air suddenly exploded with a booming sound, showering everyone with its immense explosion power.
Inside the Storage Bag were indeed several Magical Treasure items.
The explosion's force came from the Magical Treasure items.
Everyone was shocked, retreating hurriedly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Yuan turned and dashed toward the maze's entrance.
But he was too close to the explosion. Though he flew up, his back was struck by the powerful blast.
However, Luo Yuan had already considered this outcome, knowing escaping before five mighty beings wouldn't be that easy.
Aided by the explosion's attack power, Luo Yuan's speed doubled. As he continuously spat out fresh blood, Luo Yuan finally dived headfirst into the maze.
Once the explosion's aftermath scattered, the five strong beings all showed their fury.
Yet, none of the Three Great Demon Venerable chased into the maze.
Because the three had realized how complex the maze was, even for them, and entering would lead to considerable wasted time.
Their aim in coming to Qinrong Palace was the treasure in the third palace.
With that in mind, all three Great Demon Venerable simultaneously brushed past the maze and proceeded directly to the distant third palace.
The Three Great Demon Venerable may have left, but the Yin Yang Half-Venerable and Sweet Sheep Half-Venerable pondered for a moment before diving into the maze.
If they tried to enter the third palace, they couldn't compete with the Three Great Demon Venerable. Instead, they could gain treasures in the second palace, where they would be unrivaled without the Demon Venerable.
The remaining hundreds of Demon Cultivators, seeing the five mighty beings departing, also entered the maze.
They hoped for nothing more than finding a couple of Magical Treasure items.
But their expectations were misplaced. Once inside the maze, they discovered all the palaces and paths were completely identical.
In the maze, direction was indistinguishable with north "fusing with south," leaving everyone more confused the further they walked; let alone finding treasure items, even leaving became difficult.
While everyone relentlessly wandered in the maze, Wang Yan ambled familiarly from one palace to another like it was his own home.
Most palaces, Wang Yan walked by without entering, but those he entered always yielded one or two found treasures.
Gradually, Wang Yan found nearly a hundred treasures within the second palace.
At this point, Wang Yan emerged from a palace and muttered, "I've searched most of the fifteen-stored palaces, which indeed house great treasures, yet I haven't found the formula for refining Soldier Terracotta Warriors. Now, only one remains, and I hope to find it."
With this, Wang Yan's figure flickered, heading to his next target.
Meanwhile, just a few palace layers away from Wang Yan, Yin Yang Half-Venerable gazed through dense fog, eyes locked in the direction Wang Yan was.
Yin Yang Half-Venerable coldly remarked, "Kid, who would've thought you hid so deeply. Heh, unfortunately, you know nothing of me. No matter where, your movements never escape my eyes."
