Chapter 182: Wouldn’t It Be Good To Kill An Array Formation Expert With One Punch?

Zhou Shu and the other two followed behind Jiang Lan, their hearts filled with fear.
The person in front of them was their leader. This was beyond their expectations.
Jin Yu and Zheng Xi did not dare to speak, afraid that they would offend this senior brother again.
Zhou Shu was the most worried.
Ignoring whether he had offended him previously, he had been rude to this Senior Brother of his in the past.
In the past, he would look down on this Senior Brother of his every time he met him.
Today, he even taught this Senior Brother how to give a gift.
It was hard to say whether he would be able to come out of the mystic realm alive.
He did not dare to give out the gift that he had prepared.
Jiang Lan walked at the front and released his power to surround the three of them.
The trio instantly sensed the immense strength of an early-stage Essence Soul.
As expected.
He was the leader.
Their hearts were heavy.
Jiang Lan didn’t care about what these three were thinking. He had his responsibilities, so he would naturally do his job.
These three people would probably think that they had offended him.
For Jiang Lan, this might be better. It would make the three of them quieter and more vigilant.
After all, he wasn’t sure if they would make things difficult for him.
Then, the three of them disappeared from the altar and headed towards the mystic realm.
The party would face an energy storm in the passageway. Since it was an Essence Soul cultivator who led the party this time, it meant that the strength of the storm surpassed the Golden Core Realm. However, an Essence Soul cultivator should be able to easily defend against it.
As the storm approached, Jiang Lan could sense the extent of the storm. Its strength should be above the perfected Golden Core Realm, but it had not reached the Essence Soul Realm.
It was enough if he just used his early-stage Essence Soul strength.
In just a short while, a huge forest appeared before them. The trees in the forest lined up, allowing only a few people to walk.
The trees were surrounded by special vegetation, preventing anyone from walking into them.
The trees were like endless buildings.
In front of them was a maze.
It was an enormous maze with no end in sight.
Jiang Lan only had a rough understanding of this mystic realm over the past few days. It was unknown whether there was an exit to the maze.
It was also unknown if there was a core to this maze.
The wind howled as Jiang Lan and the others landed on the ground.
In front of the maze.
At a place visible to the naked eyes of everyone.
There was an entrance.
“Go in.” Jiang Lan’s voice reached the three of them.
“Be careful. It won’t be too dangerous but remember, don’t fly. It’s not that you can’t fly above the maze, but it’s easy to get lost in the array formation. ”
Jiang Lan briefly explained what he needed to pay attention to and didn’t say anything else.
He also planned to go in and find a special place to sign in.
He had signed in at the peak of the Third Summit’s mystic realm. He wanted to sign it at the core of this maze this time.
However, he did not know if there was a core.
He might be able to find out the answer if he were to head in later. However, the three of them had restricted him from going too far in.
As soon as Jiang Lan finished speaking, the three of them walked out with heavy hearts.
“Senior… Senior Brother, we really didn’t realize that you were the leader previously.” Zheng Xi spoke first.
She wanted to express her apology.
The other two also apologized.
“It’s fine. Go on in.” Jiang Lan maintained his normal tone.
There was no indifference or passion.
It was impossible for them to tell if Jiang Lan was happy or angry.
The three of them were nervous.
In the end, they headed for the maze. This time, they decided not to split up. This way, the three of them could take care of each other.
Even if their Senior Brother were to make things difficult for them, they would be able to last longer.
The three of them entered the maze with a heavy heart. The maze was huge and they could see the end of the road in front of them.
There were two to three paths at the end.
After some hesitation, the three of them decided to walk to the left. This way, it would be easier to get out.
However, they did not know that the entrance to the path they were walking on was soon covered by plants and vegetation.
The road began to change.
Jiang Lan stood at the intersection and had no intention of entering.
He needed to observe for a while.
Not only was he observing the three people, but he was also observing his surroundings.
If someone had their eyes on him, they would probably start keeping an eye on him from here.
Jiang Lan sat cross-legged, vigilant of his surroundings as he observed the three people.
The maze did not seem to restrict simple perception.
He would roughly know where those three people were no matter where he was.
He sat there for an entire day.
That day, the three of them did not walk far and were still trapped for some time.
And the other party leaders…
They were all in the maze.
“Am I overthinking?”
It was somewhat surprising that no one had their eyes on him.
Jiang Lan stood up and walked inside. Since no one was watching, he would go in and see if he could find the core.
“A day has passed, but Xiao Yu still hasn’t appeared. I wonder where she is.”
Xiao Yu was everyone’s leader, so she should be in a higher position.
Close to the core?
In the Third Summit’s mystic realm, if there was someone who surpassed the party leader’s cultivation level keeping watch, perhaps there would not be so many problems.
However, there was also the most dangerous possibility that the leader was a spy.
Then one would basically be a lamb in a tiger’s den.
Walking through the maze, one would have to face several forks. No one knew where each fork led to. Where one could go would depend on luck.
“The maze should have a clearance guide.”
Jiang Lan walked to the side of the pathway. Under normal circumstances, as long as he leaned against the wall of the pathway, he would be able to walk out of the maze. Although it was a clumsy method, it was effective.
However, just as he walked to the side, he felt traces of power behind him.
When he turned around, he realized that the path he had come from had been blocked by trees.
“Is it a normal change, or is someone interfering with the array formation here?”
His vigilance forced him to check on what had happened.
His attainments in array formations were not considered impressive, but they were not that bad either.
He was stronger than Xiao Yu at least.
Then, he squatted in front of the sealed array formation and extended his hand to investigate.
“Let’s see if this place has been altered.”
After a moment, he withdrew his hand.
“Some nodes have been hacked and altered. The other party’s technique is good.”
Then, Jiang Lan began to look around to see if he could leave the maze.
Then he realized that he could not leave unless he climbed over the wall of trees.
From what he knew, one could withdraw from the maze.
“I don’t know who the other party is targeting.”
However, he also understood one thing. It seemed like one could also use the array formation to kill his target.
He just didn’t know who the target was.
Was it him or was it Xiao Yu.
Or was it someone else.
In the end, Jiang Lan shook his head and didn’t think too much about it.
As long as the other party didn’t touch him, he didn’t need to care.
As long as it was not the three from his party, it was not his responsibility.
If it was Xiao Yu, he should be able to detect the battle since it would be a battle between Void Refinement cultivators.
He could not understand why there were so many spies in Kunlun.
The team from the Second Summit had already killed a list of spies. With Kunlun being stricter in the admission of new disciples, there should not be so many spies in Kunlun.
Then, Jiang Lan began to search for the core of the array formation.
As for the one who had altered the array formation.
Even if the other party had high attainments in array formations, Jiang Lan had never thought of using his array formation attainments to fight against him.
To kill his enemies, using his Power Of Nine Tribulations was the most effective.
He would wait for the other party to see if he would come his way.
Jiang Lan didn’t have any intention of flying above the maze.
That would be too eye-catching.
If he wasn’t in a hurry, he wouldn’t need to fly in the air.
…
Zhou Shu and the other two walked on the road. They were abnormally cautious and would not take any risks.
Because there might not be anyone behind protecting them.
“I have discovered something.” On the way, Zheng Xi suddenly looked at the other two and said.
“Don’t you guys find that Senior Brother very familiar?”
