Xue Kun's choices were both right and wrong, and Ji Qingya saw no pattern to them.
But Xiang Sheng could see clearly that whenever the number came up to nine, Xue Kun would always choose the right one, and he would do it very quickly without even looking at the mural.
If you talk about coincidence at this time, not only Xiang Sheng, but even someone as simple-minded as Ji Qingya would not believe it.
"If you can choose the right one without looking at the mural, it means you have a map or someone to guide you..."
The thoughtful look in Xiang Sheng's eyes deepened.
According to Ji Qingya, Xue Kun clearly came for him following his master's orders, but he made such perfect preparations for the Nine-story Pagoda.
How did he know that the Nine-story Pagoda would open?
Or, even if he didn't intervene, Xue Kun would have found a way to open the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, leading to the current situation?
The rumor that there is an unparalleled divine sword in the Nine-Layered Pagoda was deliberately fabricated by Qingmu and it is unlikely to reach the Immortal Palace headquarters in the short term.
But if it weren't for the treasure...
Xiang Sheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes moving back and forth behind Ji Qingya, and finally suppressed his speculation and said nothing.
Time passed as the three of them flew by quickly, and two incense sticks had passed in the blink of an eye.
Xue Kun walked through fifty-six forks in the road. When he was considering whether to deliberately take the wrong path at the fifty-seventh one or continue on the right path, he unexpectedly encountered the water fence monster with a group of monsters.
When the Water Fence Monster saw Xue Kun, the monsters behind him had no time to stop him. They heard him grinning and saying:
"I recognize you! Are you the Celestial Palace prodigy who killed Yingxu?"
Xue Kun frowned suddenly, not because his identity was exposed by the water demon, but because of the place where they met.
He was able to avoid taking the wrong road and get here thanks to the guidance of a map.
He paid a huge price to get that map! How could this simple-minded ancient monster catch up with him?
As soon as this thought arose, the Water Fence Demon asked, "Have you seen the Crazy Sky Demon I'm chasing?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Kun immediately understood that it was the Crazy Demon who was leading the way.
He should have thought of it earlier.
Xue Kun's face darkened slightly.
Those crazy sky demons have been trapped here for a long time. Their attainments in the Sky Demon Ban are not low. Even if they are crazy, they can still rely on instinct to choose the correct path.
There are quite a few Crazy Sky Demons, which means... apart from the Water Fence Demon, other people may also be able to pass through the maze and even walk ahead of him.
Many unexpected events had occurred, and Xue Kun felt a little irritated, but he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he relaxed his brows and smiled, invitingly, "It's fate that we met. Your Excellency Shuili, why don't you join me?"
The Water Fence Demon saw that there were only two kittens around Xue Kun and had already harbored murderous intentions. However, when he heard the other party actively invite him, his simple mind turned and he immediately felt that there was something fishy going on. He quickly and sternly refused:
"I, Old Niu, have to chase that crazy demon. How can I accompany you? My men, let's go!"
The Water Fence Monster gave an order and led all the monsters away for a long distance.
Xue Kun watched them leave, a cold glint in his eyes.
I was too impatient, otherwise a stupid monster like Shui Li would not be able to notice anything unusual.
Never mind, business is important.
He exhaled lightly, turned around and smiled: "Okay, let's keep going."
Ji Qingya rarely moved. After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice, "Big Brother, am I... a burden to you?"
If he didn't have to protect him and Stone Sister, with the strength of the eldest brother, he would definitely be able to defeat the water monster and return to report his achievement.
Xue Kun obviously didn't expect his junior brother to ask such a question. He turned around and looked at Ji Qingya unexpectedly. After a moment of surprise, he patted the latter's shoulder and sighed softly:
"Junior brother, you've really grown up a lot this time. But between brothers like you and me, what's the point of being a burden?"
When Ji Qingya heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I knew that Senior Brother treats me the best!"
"That's good to know."
Xue Kun took his hands back and clenched them slightly, "Let's go on."
"Um!"
The three continued to move forward.
After such a delay, the Water Fence Demon's team had disappeared.
Xue Kun deliberately chose a few wrong roads to avoid the water monster and returned to the right path. Not long after, he unexpectedly encountered a crazy sky monster.
He immediately took the lead and followed. Seeing the mad demon rushing around, and the route he took was exactly the same as the instructions on the map, his face finally became visibly gloomy.
Unfortunately, he was walking in front, so Ji Qingya didn't notice anything unusual.
Following Crazy Sky Demon, Xue Kun no longer had to deliberately take the wrong route. After only two days, the three of them reached the end of the maze.
Xue Kun was the first to walk out and came to the quiet room between the second and third floors.
As expected, he saw that there were already many humans and ancient monsters inside, including the great monster Shuili, Yu Zhan and the old monster Gong Wu.
When Ji Qingya came in, he saw that the eldest brother looked unhappy. When he saw the situation in the room, he immediately understood something.
The eldest brother is very competitive, and he must be feeling bad after being defeated by the crowd this time.
He quickly spoke to comfort her, "Big Brother, it's my fault for waiting for Sister Stone this time, otherwise we would have definitely been the first to pass the maze."
When Xue Kun heard this, he became even angrier, but he couldn't explain to Ji Qingya, and he couldn't reveal his flaws, so he could only hold his breath and nod, confirming the misunderstanding.
At this time, Yu Zhan came over and said, "Your Highness Xue, Your Highness Qingya, the Nine-Layered Pagoda token has not yet been released. Please go over and sit down first."
"Okay."
Xue Kun nodded in agreement and followed Yu Zhan to the Immortal Palace team beside the west wall, but his eyes turned to the crazy sky demons lying on the east wall and howling like ghosts.
Yu Zhan noticed Xue Kun's gaze and spoke at the right moment, "These crazy demons came in and just laid on that wall, pounding and howling. It's really hard to understand."
Ji Qingya sighed softly upon hearing this and said, "If a madman's behavior could be understood, he wouldn't be a madman anymore."
Yu Zhan was stunned for a moment. He had always looked down on Ji Qingya, a genius with average cultivation and high status. However, upon hearing this, he nodded in agreement sincerely, which was rare.
"Your Highness Qingya is absolutely right."
Ji Qingya was praised and immediately smiled with his teeth showing.
Xue Kun watched and sneered in his heart.
There are flatterers everywhere. It was like this in Yeqing Palace before, and it is still like this in this remote place.
After a while, the three of them found a vacant spot in the Asgardian team and sat down.
"Sister Stone, why haven't you said anything all this time?"
Ji Qingya's voice reached his ears. Xiang Sheng withdrew his gaze from the east wall and smiled, "You haven't said anything yet. Senior Brother has taken the trouble to lead the way, so how could I disturb your thoughts by making a sound?"
"So you thought so too."
Ji Qingya scratched his head and sighed, "If I had practiced diligently since I was young, I would have been an Earthly Immortal by now. I really feel ashamed of Master's cultivation and for causing so much trouble to my senior brother."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly: "It's not too late to repent now."
Ji Qingya was immediately encouraged and clenched his fist, saying, "I will definitely practice hard when I return this time! Even if I can't catch up with my senior brother in the future, I will definitely be able to help him in any way I can."
Xue Kun listened to the conversation between the two, his face calm, but the fists under his sleeves were clenched tighter and tighter.
