Chapter 93

Ding Qi and Guan Qiu did not know why Ding Qi would appear here.

They thought that Ding Qi was just passing by due to some trivial matters.

However, this was not the focus of the two.

Now, Guan Qiu and Zuo Yang both understood that they must not let a third person hear their conversation, yet it was actually heard by Ding Qi, who had been behind the wall.

This made the two look extremely displeased.

Although the two were surprised by the strange changes in the passage, they had no time to care about such matters. They now had more important things to deal with.

After recovering from their shock, Guan Qiu and Zuo Yang looked at Ding Qi with murderous intent.

"Since this person has already heard our conversation, we must deal with him," Zuo Yang said, looking at Ding Qi with cold eyes.

Guan Qiu, while paying attention to the changes in the passage, also looked at Ding Qi with a cold gaze and nodded, saying, "We can only examine the changes in the maze passage later. If this person really reveals our secrets..."

At this point, the murderous intent in Guan Qiu's eyes towards Ding Qi intensified.

Ding Qi, seeing the murderous intent from the two, showed no signs of panic, only a slight frown.

"Why do you have to seek death?" Ding Qi looked at the two, saying with a helpless expression.

After hearing the two's conversation, although Ding Qi was extremely surprised, he had no intention of revealing their secrets. This matter was just an internal affair of the Qingyun Sect.

It had nothing to do with him, an outsider.

However, these two clearly did not think so.

Since these two now wanted to seek death, Ding Qi would not let them off.

The two did not care what Ding Qi was muttering. Zuo Yang stepped forward, rushing towards Ding Qi to kill him.

However, just as Zuo Yang rushed towards Ding Qi, there was another loud rumble from the maze passage nearby. Several walls appeared in front of Ding Qi, blocking Zuo Yang's path. Then, the mechanism in the area where Ding Qi was located suddenly changed, starting to rise and fall irregularly.

When the rumbling in the passage finally stopped, Guan Qiu and Zuo Yang were already gone from in front of Ding Qi.

This change in the passage lasted quite a while, and Ding Qi did not know where Zuo Yang and Guan Qiu had been transported to by the maze's mechanism.

Ding Qi looked at the empty space in front of him, then at his right hand, which he had raised and activated with the Golden Body Technique, giving it a metallic sheen. He then put his hand down, speechless.

"Those two actually managed to escape with their lives."

...

"Those two actually managed to escape with their lives." In a maze passage quite far from Ding Qi, Zuo Yang looked at a corner of the maze with a sullen face, saying the same thing.

Guan Qiu, standing beside him, also looked displeased.

"We don't really need to worry about that boy. As long as we return to the outer part of the maze and kill him before he reveals our conversation to others, there won't be a problem," Guan Qiu said, calming down first.

Then, Guan Qiu added, "Moreover, even if this boy really reveals our conversation to the sect, no one will believe such absurd words. We just need to find a reason to make everyone in the sect believe that this boy entered the underground palace for another purpose, and we can even get the sect to help us hunt him down. The people in the sect will believe us more than an outsider."

With Guan Qiu's analysis, Zuo Yang's originally displeased face gradually eased.

Zuo Yang looked at their current position and nodded, saying, "We need to come up with a reason to mobilize the sect to hunt down this boy. But now, after the mysterious changes in the maze, we also need to confirm where we are."

"From what I saw earlier, we might have triggered some mechanism that caused the maze to rise and fall in different areas. We are probably being transported to some place. Fortunately, the maze only changed and combined, without any traps, or we might have been in danger."

"However, the place where we had our conversation was just at the edge of the maze. Even if we were transported by the maze's mechanism, we couldn't really enter the depths of the maze. As long as we search patiently, we can definitely find the exit," Guan Qiu thought for a moment and analyzed.

Guan Qiu, being a person of exceptional intelligence, had already deduced the general situation after seeing the maze's changes only once.

...

Regardless of what Guan Qiu and Zuo Yang were thinking about how to deal with Ding Qi.

After seeing the two disappear, Ding Qi initially planned to explore the underground palace and find their traces. However, after seeing several hidden marks in the corners of the walls, he could only shake his head helplessly and give up on this idea.

These hidden marks in the corners of the walls were carved by Ding Qi when he explored the deeper parts of the underground palace alone. After seeing several of these marks, Ding Qi realized that after the unknown changes in the maze's mechanism, he had been transported further into the maze.

"Really, some bad luck!" Ding Qi shook his head, thinking.

Ding Qi had already explored the maze for several hours and had a certain understanding of the maze's mechanism. If the maze passage where he was located was transported inward, then the corresponding part of the maze passage nearby would be transported outward.

From the situation at the time, the part of the maze passage that was transported outward was undoubtedly where Guan Qiu and Zuo Yang were.

At this point, even if he really chased after them, the two would have already joined up with the other members of the Qingyun Sect in the outer part of the maze.

After the two joined up with the members of the Qingyun Sect, how they would deal with him, Ding Qi could roughly guess. As long as Zuo Yang used some means to fabricate a crime for him, he would face the pursuit of all the members of the Qingyun Sect.

"After getting out of the underground palace this time, the matter with the Qingyun Sect will probably require some effort," Ding Qi narrowed his eyes, thinking.

Then, Ding Qi, who had been heading towards the outer part of the maze, changed direction and walked deeper into the maze again.

After guessing what would happen when he encountered the people of the Qingyun Sect, Ding Qi did not plan to meet them again on this trip to the maze.

He had decided to spend more time exploring the maze alone.

As for the trouble caused by Zuo Yang and Guan Qiu, Ding Qi did not take it to heart.

With the power of his innate skill, in the worst case, he could use sheer strength to completely subdue the Qingyun Sect. Moreover, he had a better plan in mind for this matter.

Ding Qi recalled the conversation between Zuo Yang and Guan Qiu and narrowed his eyes, "After getting out, I need to meet the Great Grandmaster of the Qingyun Sect again."
