Xiao Xuan hurriedly fled to a corner of the maze, swallowed a recovery pill, and calmed down a bit.

He glanced warily behind him.

The enemy has already entered the maze and has methods to track me. Now that I've used up my last trump card, if they catch up, I'm afraid...

Just then, Xiao Xuan's face suddenly changed, transforming into an extremely ordinary face. Even her aura changed, making it impossible to detect any trace of magic.

However, the pursuing members of the demonic sect were all men, and they seemed to possess tracking magical artifacts that had already locked onto the illusory sword within her body. Even changing her aura was useless.

Xiao Xuan sighed, glancing unsurprisedly at the proportions of her chest, before turning her gaze deeper into the maze.

That place is the site of the legacy left by the powerful beings who created this secret realm; once you enter, there is no turning back.

Unless it's a complete inheritance, it will fall into silence along with the secret realm...

But now, there is no better way.

Xiao Xuan pursed her lips, her eyes revealing determination.

Even if I die, at least I can leave behind a clean reputation!

Less than a minute after Xiao Xuan left, four figures appeared in the same spot.

One of them held an array plate, and as he manipulated it, the pointer jumped in the direction Xiao Xuan had left.

"Sir, they've escaped inside!"

"Hmph, there must be Golden Core stage demonic beasts blocking her way. She can't get far. Keep chasing."

Just as the man gave the order, a loud noise suddenly came from behind.

A figure in white was rapidly approaching this direction.

Sensing the aura of the newcomer, the leader's eyes flashed, and he immediately cast a spell, disappearing from the spot.

Fang Xun, who had just entered the maze, also sensed the presence of the three at the same time.

After a slight hesitation, he sheathed the small sword in his hand, donned his own spiritual weapon longsword, and walked directly towards his opponent.

The four men locked eyes, each wary of the other.

Fang Xun, however, remained expressionless and walked directly past the group into the depths.

"Wait! The Heavenly Demon Sect is conducting business here. Bystanders, please leave. Fellow Daoist, please take another route!"

The three men caught up with Fang Xun and blocked his way.

"The Heavenly Demon Sect? Hmph... Several of your holy sons have had their clothes stripped off, and you still have the mood to search for treasures here?"

Fang Xun looked at the group coldly, completely disregarding them.

However, a hidden aura, faintly discernible, was locking onto him, making him quite wary.

This aura is definitely at the level of a Holy Son, and should not be underestimated.

The three were stunned for a moment when they heard that the Holy Son had been stripped naked. By the time they came to their senses, Fang Xun had already bypassed them and walked deeper into the area.

Only then did the person hiding in the shadows reappear.

"Wang Yong, go out and see what's going on! We're continuing the pursuit!"

Upon hearing this, one of them immediately nodded and left.

These few were among the first to follow this official in and had never left until recently. They only managed to find this place recently, sending someone to inform the outside world, but they were completely unaware of the events that had transpired there in the past few days.

"Your Holiness! Something's wrong!"

"Um?"

The adult stepped forward and walked to the person holding the array plate. He noticed that the pointer, which had previously shown a clear direction, was now jumping rapidly, but all the way to the depths of the maze.

This commotion... could it be? How could it be?

The Holy Son's face showed surprise and doubt. This Spirit-Seeking Array should only target treasures of the Spiritual Treasure level and above, but now it was wavering back and forth.

Recalling that the person had just rushed straight inside, he couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind.

Could it be?

As he considered that possibility, a wicked smile gradually spread across his face...

If Xiao Xuan were here, she would definitely recognize her.

This person was actually the third demonic disciple of the demonic sect who intercepted her outside the secret realm, a figure at the early stage of the Golden Core realm!

However, in order to track down Xiao Xuan, he actually lowered his cultivation level and chased her all the way to the secret realm!

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to advance to the Golden Core stage, but he deliberately lowered his cultivation level, falling from the Golden Core stage to the Foundation Establishment stage!

Just for the treasure inside Xiao Xuan's body,

As long as we succeed, any price is worth it!

Moreover, it's now possible to obtain two components and combine them into a complete spirit artifact!

Even the entire Zhongzong sect combined couldn't compare.

"Let's go, catch up with him!"

——

Fang Xun charged recklessly, inevitably disturbing the monsters wandering in the maze, but eventually followed the little sword's guidance and arrived at a palace.

[The Purple Legacy! Only Progress, No Retreat]

"Damn it, how did I end up in the Land of Inheritance? What should I do now?"

The major sects all have records regarding the places where ancient cultivators passed down their skills.

Ancient inheritances are coveted by everyone, but very few can actually obtain them, simply because they are extremely difficult to acquire. Even the talents of modern cultivators are far inferior, making them incredibly difficult to cultivate.

If you can't clear all the levels, you'll be locked out.

With the Foundation Establishment cultivation level limited by the secret realm, forcibly breaking through would be extremely difficult.

"Perhaps, with the help of this divine artifact... I can go into the next level and then break through to the other side?"

Fang Xun thought this to himself, but now was not the time.

If I waste the attacks from Thousand Swords here, I might get trapped inside by that rogue cultivator "Han Li."

If the Thousand Swords are lost, then we will truly die without a burial place!

The right thing to do now is to go out and break the formation, and report the location of the inheritance.

Just as Fang Xun turned around, he caught sight of four men in black arriving at the same spot. The direction they were walking clearly indicated that they wanted to block his way.

The leader among them possessed an aura as intense as the sun; anyone who touched his divine sense felt a burning sensation.

This is because the other party's spiritual sense far surpasses his...

"Leave your things behind, and I might spare your life!"

The man at the front lifted his cloak, revealing a wicked smile.

Fang Xun's gaze sharpened, and he slowly spoke.

"So it was the Third Demon Prince of the Demonic Sect who came in person! To plot against the sacred artifact, he actually lowered his cultivation level. I admire him!"

"Oh? You know me? That makes things easier. Surely you're not trying to kill yourself?"

"Is that so? I don't think the Obsidian Demon Prince would intentionally seek death!"

After saying that, Fang Xun drew his small sword.

A chilling aura locked onto the Obsidian Demon Prince before him...
