"Go around? Go around where?" Teacher Luo shook his head and said in a deep voice. "Sister Zhaojun will cover the rear, Sister Diaochan will accompany Wang Xian to charge forward, Sister Shishi, Feng Xian and I will protect the left and right sides. Brothers and sisters, the real challenge is here, so let's not hold back anymore."
"Yes!" the five immortals replied in unison.
"Wait... I... I'm about to go to the wall..." Wang Yao felt tense when he saw that these guys were ready to risk their lives.
"No need, let's go!"
Diao Chan placed one hand on Wang Yao's shoulder, and Wang Yao immediately felt his body fly up again. He had been rushing in this way all night, and it had become muscle memory. When he felt the huge push coming from behind, he unconsciously twisted his right wrist hard, and "Immortal's Sorrow" was activated at the same time.
"Shuttle Shadow, Infinite Maze!" Wang Yao heard Diao Chan's soft shout, and then he saw a silver shuttle trailing a wide blue ribbon fly out from his side. The ribbon circled around Wang Yao and Diao Chan several times, and then plunged into the enemy demon army like an arrow.
"Keep flying, don't stop!" Wang Yao was slightly taken aback when Diao Chan's voice rang in his ears.
The ribbons fluttered around Wang Yao, sometimes weaving through the demon army, sometimes leaping high above his head, and sometimes stretching out at his feet, as if countless people were waving ribbons and dancing around him.
Before long, a silken corridor formed in front of Wang Yao. The corridor was deep and narrow, and not a single demon could be seen. It was as if the demon army that was blocking their way had been completely isolated outside the silken corridor.
"This is a maze, and it can't completely isolate you from the demons. It only prevents them from affecting you by changing the paths within the maze. Just keep moving forward as quickly as possible," Diao Chan whispered to Wang Yao.
"Yes!" Wang Yao replied and sped forward along the tunnel in front of him, as if he were running in an alley with no end. The shouts of killing could be heard from all directions, but they felt very far away. He hadn't flown for long when the entire tunnel suddenly shook violently.
"Not good! The demons are catching up from behind. The pulling force from both inside and outside is too great, and Shuttle Shadow has reached its limit!" Diao Chan's usually calm voice suddenly turned anxious.
Wang Yao felt that as the tunnel shook more violently, the surrounding ribbons were slowly tightening, and a "sizzling" sound could be heard from time to time, as if the ribbons were about to be torn apart.
"Sister Diao Chan, there are too many demons behind us, the maze is almost full, you need to kick me and them out quickly!" Wang Zhaojun's voice suddenly came, and Wang Yao realized that companions could communicate with each other in the maze.
"Okay!" Diao Chan agreed without hesitation.
"Fellow immortals, I'll take my leave now. See you in the Forging Space!" Wang Zhaojun then said with a loud laugh.
Before her laughter had faded, the sizzling sound around Wang Yao disappeared, and the ribbons on the walls of the passageway visibly loosened. However, the passageway, which had seemed to have no end, suddenly turned a corner a kilometer ahead.
However, no matter how fast Wang Yao accelerated, the turning distance remained at about a kilometer, and it seemed that he could never fly there.
While Wang Yao was controlling "Immortal's Sorrow," he was secretly amazed by Diao Chan's "Shuttle Shadow" technique. However, at that moment, a faint and ethereal pipa melody suddenly came from behind him.
“This is… Sister Zhaojun…” Wang Yao turned to look at Diaochan in astonishment.
"That's right. This is Sister Zhaojun activating the Five Tones Killing Array. Her cultivation level is still a bit lacking. Forcing this technique will only result in mutual destruction. Sister Zhaojun can only buy a limited amount of time. We need to hurry up."
After Diao Chan finished speaking, she straightened up, and Wang Yao noticed that the surrounding silk ribbons had tightened again, and the alleyway in front of him had once again become deep and endless.
"A pipa melody breaks the soul, shatters the heart and shatters the spirit, ending this life. If Heaven had feelings, it too would perish, not letting white hair wait for dusk." The noisy, plaintive pipa music seemed to linger in Wang Yao's ears, its lingering sound refusing to dissipate.
During this time, Diao Chan narrowed the maze several times, but the situation clearly worsened. In the end, the bend at the end of the passage was only about a hundred meters away from Wang Yao, as if he could reach it with a single acceleration.
The sunlight streaming through the ribbon above indicated that it was nearly noon. Wang Yao, inside the ribbon, was completely unaware of the situation outside or how far he was from Wanghai City.
"Damn it, is the Lord of Sea Reclamation even in Wanghai City? We've fought like this, she should have noticed by now, right? Does that girl know we'll return to the God and Demon Forging Ground if we die, and she's determined not to help us? Wang Yao, did you and Jingwei make things clear beforehand?"
Suddenly, Teacher Luo's voice came through, cursing and swearing.
“I…I and her…” Wang Yao felt a sudden chill when he heard Teacher Luo’s question. He had only been in contact with Aunt Tian and had never spoken directly to the Lord of Reclamation. Had he been tricked by Aunt Tian? At this thought, Wang Yao hurriedly called out to Aunt Tian in his mind.
"Damn, that was close! The real demons are here. If this keeps up, the main demon will have to come sooner or later. If Jingwei doesn't come to pick you up, I'll just have to die with you. I'm afraid I'll have to go to Wanghai City..." Teacher Luo was still rambling on when suddenly Feng Huan screamed.
"Master Demon! Master...Master Demon!" Before Feng Huan's cries had even stopped, a heart-wrenching, ear-piercing sound rang out. The ribbons around Wang Yao visibly tore apart piece by piece, the passageway suddenly dissipated, and sunlight poured down, revealing the figures of powerful demons from all directions.
"Teacher Luo, you see Wang Xian off on his final journey, I'll go hold off the Demon Lord!" Diao Chan screamed as blood dripped from the corner of her mouth and vanished from Wang Yao's side.
