The extreme cold frost seemed to freeze even the flowing, scalding magma within it.
The magma trapped inside collided with the outer layer of frost, making a hissing sound.
The frost melted into water, dripping into the lava below, where it instantly turned into a mist and dissipated.
Ruan Xiyan gripped her longsword and thrust it straight at the lava ball.
The lava ball exploded on the spot, sending fragments flying in all directions.
Ruan Xiyan disappeared above the lava and returned to the room.
She looked at the vortex entrance to the next room that appeared in the room and walked straight in.
There was still only one red key in the next room.
Ruan Xiyan skillfully entered the test.
The scene before her eyes flipped, and Ruan Xiyan found herself in a maze built of tall earthen walls.
She looked at the winding maze in front of her, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Is this level a maze?
Ruan Xiyan looked up at the sky. If she could fly up there and get a general view of the entire maze, she should be able to find her way out easily.
With that thought in mind, Ruan Xiyan flew upwards.
But before she could get over the earthen wall, she was stopped by an invisible barrier.
Ruan Xiyan steadied herself and looked around.
Since we can't go through the air, we have no choice but to navigate this maze cautiously.
She kept walking quickly forward, a short dagger in her hand.
The dagger left some marks at the forks in the maze to avoid getting lost in the maze.
She had just carved a mark on the earthen wall with her dagger when a sharp blade suddenly shot out from the maze's earthen wall.
Ruan Xiyan, who was moving quickly, sharpened her eyes and dodged to the side.
At the same time, the earthen wall is compressing towards the center, leaving less and less space.
If Ruan Xiyan had reacted even a fraction slower, she would have been crushed into a meat patty by the constantly pressing earthen wall.
She couldn't stop; she had to keep rushing forward.
Suddenly, the surrounding earthen walls began to move and change position, meaning that the marks carved earlier became useless.
Ruan Xiyan didn't know how long she had been wandering in the maze, but she still hadn't seen the end of it.
Now that the markers are no longer effective, escaping this maze is even more difficult.
She saw earthen walls pressing in on her from all sides.
Ruan Xiyan's expression hardened, and she used her mental power to control several daggers.
The dagger slammed into the earthen wall, and one section of the wall collapsed with a crash.
Since we can't get out, then we won't go!
Under Ruan Xiyan's mental control, several daggers became entangled and spun rapidly, drilling forward like a giant drill.
The earthen wall shattered the moment it touched the wall.
Ruan Xiyan controlled the dagger and attacked in one direction, causing the earthen walls that blocked her to collapse one by one.
She emerged from the maze after destroying all the earthen walls blocking her path.
Having passed this hurdle and returned to her room, Ruan Xiyan gave a slight smirk. Indeed, brute force never goes out of style.
Powerful forces can break all rules.
"Yan'er, we've arrived."
Upon hearing the voice, Ruan Xiyan's spiritual consciousness emerged from the Wind Spirit Space.
She opened her eyes, looked at Ling Jingyan in front of her, and then at the ship that had already docked.
Ling Jingyan helped her up. "Yan'er, let's go."
Ruan Xiyan didn't see the man in black robes on the ship and asked in confusion, "Where did that strange person go?"
Ling Jingyan replied, "As soon as the boat came to a stop, he hurriedly disembarked and left. Judging from his appearance, he must have had something urgent to attend to."
After Ruan Xiyan and Ling Jingyan left.
The people who had been lying on the boat slowly woke up, and got up from the ground in a daze. What happened to them?
They were even more puzzled when they saw that they had reached the port. They had just taken a nap and arrived!
Ruan Xiyan and Ling Jingyan arrived in the Western Regions' Brahma Kingdom and immediately took Yao Yao to the capital.
With Yaoyao's speed, she will definitely be able to arrive before the Muzhai Prayer Festival.
As they flew, Ling Jingyan looked around and frowned, saying, "Yan'er, why did the sky suddenly darken?"
Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
The next moment, the sky darkened, and they were shrouded in darkness.
As soon as he finished speaking, an attack suddenly came at them.
"Yaoyao!" Ever since she learned that they might be targeted by sorcerers, Ruan Xiyan had never let her guard down.
Upon hearing this, Yao Yao quickly dodged the attack.
"Yaoyao, descend to the ground," Ruan Xiyan commanded.
They didn't know where the enemy was hiding, and flying in the air would be too conspicuous, making them easy targets.
"Yes, Master."
Upon hearing Ruan Xiyan's words, Yao Yao bent down and flew towards the ground.
After landing, Ruan Xiyan and Ling Jingyan stood back to back.
The surrounding darkness grew thicker, with black shadows flashing by from time to time.
Ling Jingyan attacked the black shadows, but found nothing.
"Third brother, these are illusions, they're all fake. Don't be fooled by what you see."
Ling Jingyan whispered, "Yan'er, could she be a sorcerer?"
Ruan Xiyan nodded. "Very likely."
After she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes and used her ears and mental energy to perceive everything around her.
Having just passed through the first five rooms of the Mirror Realm, her mental strength has increased significantly again.
It's a good opportunity to test my skills against these demons and monsters hiding in the shadows.
Ruan Xiyan's vast and powerful spiritual energy spread outwards.
Found it!
Ruan Xiyan focused her mental energy and attacked in one direction.
"ah--"
A scream rang out, the darkness dissipated, and the bright sky was revealed once more.
A figure clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground.
The thin, bony, one-eyed old man got up from the ground and looked at Ruan Xiyan and Ling Jingyan in front of him with disbelief.
"You actually broke my illusion!"
Ling Jingyan sized up the old man opposite him and let out a soft exclamation, "You're a sorcerer?"
"Since you know I am a sorcerer, you should know how powerful we sorcerers are. How dare you two kill my servants?" A sinister glint flashed in Wei Huan's single eye.
"Then you will pay for it. You will be my servants, and you will surely be more capable than those good-for-nothings."
"How dare you boast that you want to be our servants?" Ling Jingyan sneered. "Let me see what kind of skills you sorcerers have."
Ling Jingyan raised his hand and attacked Wei Huan.
“Your opponent is not me.” Wei Huan chuckled, and a scepter as tall as a person appeared in his hand.
He shook the scepter a few times while muttering some incantations that were incomprehensible to others.
The shadow behind him suddenly stood up and attacked Ling Jingyan.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiyan narrowed her eyes. The sorcerer was actually able to summon his own shadow to fight.
