”If it doesn’t work, we’ll make other plans to leave.”

Han Yuan said bluntly.

”Alright.”

Ding Zihu nodded.

He sat cross-legged right there in the dark passageway and pressed the Jade Scroll to the space between his eyebrows.

HUM!

The Jade Scroll seemed to activate, faintly glowing with a cyan Spiritual Light.

Han Yuan and Liao Feng waited quietly for the result.

The Orange Cat, that rascal, just plopped down on the ground and went to sleep.

One hour later, Ding Zihu opened his eyes and said with a smile, ”This Restriction is very similar to the ones from our Profound Technique Dao. I should be able to undo it within three days.”

Han Yuan said in a low voice, ”Then get started.”

Ding Zihu nodded and began trying to undo the Restriction on the Jade Scroll.

Han Yuan also found a random spot, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate.

Seeing this, Liao Feng scratched his head, left to stare blankly into space out of boredom.

In the Yin-Yang Passage of Hive Mountain, time became exceptionally hard to endure.

The main problem was not knowing how much time was passing. The only thing to do was wait patiently.

Never mind the Orange Cat; even Liao Feng felt like he was about to go crazy.

Fortunately, just then, Ding Zihu finally opened his eyes again.

”Han Yuan... you might not believe this.”

”There’s an Array hidden inside this Jade Scroll.”

Ding Zihu said.

”Spit it out. Don’t keep it to yourself.”

Han Yuan chuckled.

When Ding Zihu spoke, he seemed calm, but Han Yuan caught the trace of joy hidden in the depths of his eyes.

”Hehe... this Array is an extremely vast Illusion Array, very complex and obscure.”

”But besides that, there’s something you’d never guess.”

Ding Zihu was still trying to keep them in suspense.

”Kid, if you have something to say, say it. If you need to fart, just let it rip.”

The Orange Cat woke up and said impatiently.

”You Fat Thief.”

”Forget it. I’m in a good mood, so I won’t stoop to your level.”

”Actually, this Array might be a map.”

Ding Zihu voiced his speculation.

’A map... Could it be that Hive Mountain itself is an Array that someone modified?’

Han Yuan seemed to have understood something.

”Hahaha, you get me, Brother Han!”

”That’s right, Hive Mountain itself is a massive Illusion Array!”

”Now that we have this array diagram, we don’t have to worry about getting lost anymore.”

”We can go wherever we want!”

Ding Zihu laughed heartily.

Hearing this, Han Yuan grew excited as well.

He knew he had made the right bet.

”So where are we going now?”

Liao Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.

’Finally, we don’t have to suffer through this waiting game anymore.’

”To the core region of the Array... which is the depths of Hive Mountain.”

”Just follow me!”

Ding Zihu said, full of confidence.

With the Jade Scroll, their speed increased significantly.

Ding Zihu followed the map, and they barely needed to stop, even when they encountered forks in the path.

About an hour or so passed.

They passed through a dark passageway.

This time, what appeared before Han Yuan and the others was not another fork in the road, but a massive, deep cavern.

The cavern was like the gaping maw of a giant, dark beast, giving one an eerie, hair-raising feeling.

”Why am I suddenly feeling so scared...”

Fear flickered in Liao Feng’s eyes.

Han Yuan also furrowed his brows tightly.

He felt the cavern seemed to emit some sort of bizarre fluctuation that inspired involuntary fear and palpitations.

”MROW!!!”

The Orange Cat also became extremely tense, even arching its back and puffing out its cheeks, looking as if it might spit fire at any moment.

Ding Zihu regulated his breathing and said in a low voice, ”There must be something terrifying in here.”

”No matter what... we have to go in and see.”

Han Yuan’s gaze was resolute.

’After all the trouble we went through to find this place, we can’t just retreat now. We have to go in and check it out.’

They used the same formation as before.

Han Yuan walked at the very front, with Liao Feng and the Orange Cat in the middle, and Ding Zihu at the rear.

When the Spiritual Light illuminated the cavern, Han Yuan discovered he was still in a passageway.

It was just that this passageway gave off a very uncomfortable feeling.

”Why do I get the feeling that this dirt is a little off too?”

As Ding Zihu stepped on the floor of the passage, it felt as if he were stepping on a marsh.

”Let’s get through here quickly!”

Han Yuan said in a low voice.

He quickened his pace and moved forward.

Behind him, Liao Feng and Ding Zihu hurried to keep up.

SPLURT!

Suddenly, a large, fleshy tumor-like bulge swelled on the wall of the passage.

Then the bulge abruptly ruptured. A plasma-like liquid splattered, and a tentacle shot out, whipping toward Han Yuan with immense force!

WHOOSH!!

Feeling a powerful gust of wind assault him, Han Yuan threw a direct punch!

BANG!

The dark red tentacle was instantly smashed to pieces by Han Yuan’s punch, turning into countless bits of shredded flesh.

”Be careful... this thing’s strength is pretty significant.”

Han Yuan warned in a low voice.

The force of that dark red tentacle’s attack was indeed considerable.

With Ding Zihu and Liao Feng’s physical conditioning, a single lash would have likely shattered their bones.

”Then let’s get going.”

Ding Zihu urged hastily.

”Follow me... We’re charging straight through!”

Han Yuan drew his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber and charged forward with great strides.

SPLURT!!!

In the next moment, the stone walls of the passage underwent a bizarre transformation, beginning to writhe as if they were made of flesh and blood.

Countless fleshy tumors grew out from these walls, then transformed into thick, dark red tentacles that whipped madly toward Han Yuan and the others!

”Kill!”

Han Yuan roared furiously.

He wielded the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber, swinging it rapidly.

The Sword Qi was ferocious and terrifying, continuously hacking the smashing dark red tentacles to pieces.

It could be said that Han Yuan blocked the vast majority of the dark red tentacles.

Ding Zihu and the Orange Cat could handle the smaller portion of dark red tentacles.

Especially the Orange Cat.

The fellow’s Red Flame seemed to be a perfect counter to these dark red tentacles.

As soon as they were burned by its flames, the tentacles would rapidly turn black and charred, emitting a foul stench.

As for Liao Feng, the little guy knew he couldn’t beat these bloody tentacles, so he just focused on dodging and was in no real danger.

But just then, Han Yuan felt the ground begin to writhe as well.

His expression changed slightly. With a great shout, he lifted his right foot and stomped down hard!

In this one stomp, he unleashed all the qi and blood in his body, its power exceptionally violent.

RUMBLE!!!

The entire cavern seemed to shake.

A terrifying force spread out madly from Han Yuan, radiating across the ground.

The ground exploded with sacs of blood.

These must have been the fleshy tumors that were about to form tentacles, now blasted apart by Han Yuan’s stomp!

However, Han Yuan noticed that these ruptured blood sacs were gradually healing.

Just then, another dozen or so dark red tentacles whipped viciously toward Han Yuan, preventing him from dealing with the ground immediately.

Fortunately, the Orange Cat stepped up.

It puffed out its cheeks and spat a large ball of Red Flame toward the ground.

The Red Flame spread wildly across the ground, incinerating the healing blood sacs into charcoal and utterly destroying them!

”Fat Thief!”

”After we get back this time, I’ll catch you ten Dragon Beard Fish!”

Ding Zihu said while activating his Eight Trigrams Mirror to shoot out golden light.

”Meeeow~ You’d better not go back on your word.”

Hearing the promise of ten Dragon Beard Fish, the Orange Cat grew even more excited, continuously spitting flames to prevent any more tumors from appearing on the ground.

Meanwhile, Han Yuan furiously slaughtered the blood-red tentacles growing from the walls on both sides, leading the group as they carved a path of survival out of the bizarre passage.

The moment Han Yuan burst out, he frowned slightly.

The scene before him was completely unexpected.

Ding Zihu, who charged out behind him, also had his mouth slightly agape.

Ahead, wreathed in gray mist, a vast and gloomy Taoist Palace loomed faintly into view.

For some unknown reason, when he saw this Taoist Palace, Han Yuan felt an unidentifiable chill creep into his heart.

This Taoist Palace had none of the air of the mortal world; it was like the corpse of a Hell Giant Beast.

In a daze, he seemed to hear miserable wails, sharp and terrifying.

To Han Yuan, it felt like an extremely terrifying forbidden zone of life.

”What in the world is this place?”

Seeing this scene, terror flashed in Ding Zihu’s eyes.

He had originally thought the inner region of Hive Mountain would be the Profound Celestial Alliance.

He never expected it to be such a terrifying and gloomy place.

”Meeow~~ Inside that gloomy building, there’s an aura I really hate!”

The Orange Cat’s pink nose twitched, and its gaze turned savage.

”Could it be that the woman in red came out of this sinister Taoist Palace?”

Ding Zihu said in horror.
