Chapter 2240 - 2240: Leaving the Labyrinth

Little Fairy said, "The God Devouring Crystal is an incredibly terrifying object. If we ranked all the treasures that have appeared in the history of the Primordial World, I wouldn't dare to say the God Devouring Crystal would rank first."

"But at the very least, it would rank within the top three."

"Of course, I'm talking about the God Devouring Crystal before it was damaged."

"I won't say that there's no way to repair it. At least, I don't know what kind of treasure could fix a Saint Object like the God Devouring Crystal."

Qin Chen sighed.

But then his eyes grew firm.

"No matter what, I will find a way to repair the God Devouring Crystal."

But, for now.

Repairing the God Devouring Crystal is a matter for later.

What he needs to do now is perform well at the Nine Palace Conference, then participate in the Qian State competition to gain the favor of the Qian State Prefecture.

Qin Chen poured the entire True Dragon Blood Essence into the God Devouring Crystal.

Feeling extremely satisfied in his heart.

The greatest wish from his visit to the Han Ni Hills is considered fulfilled!

But immediately following this.

A troublesome problem presented itself to Qin Chen.

How was he going to leave?

He held the Dragon Seal in his hand.

Yet it remained unresponsive.

Qin Chen felt like crying without tears: "Big brother, you brought me in here, shouldn't you at least take me out as well? How irresponsible can you be?"

Qin Chen tried once more to ignite the Dragon Seal's senses.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

It ended in failure.

Helplessly, Qin Chen put away the Dragon Seal and began to observe his surroundings.

He would have to find his own way out.

Return the way he came?

Qin Chen thought this would be the worst decision.

The confusing twists and turns of the maze could very well trap him inside.

Suddenly, Qin Chen had an idea.

"This is the True Dragon's abode. Surely, the True Dragon wouldn't be so bored as to navigate a maze every time it returns home, right?"

Moreover, given the True Dragon's size?

This maze certainly couldn't accommodate a True Dragon!

Then the question arose.

How does the True Dragon return here?

Qin Chen's eyes slowly settled on the front.

Behind the waterfall was a long and deep cave.

"Shua!"

Qin Chen immediately leapt up.

The Wind Power between heaven and earth carried Qin Chen's body forward, and soon Qin Chen had reached the end.

It was a dead end!

Qin Chen's expression froze.

He had clearly underestimated the complexity of the situation.

But at this moment.

His Wind Sound Divine Ear twitched slightly.

As if hearing some kind of sound.

"It's the sound of battle!"

Qin Chen's expression was startled, his gaze directed upward.

The sound was coming from above.

Grasping the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, Qin Chen immediately struck upward fiercely.

"Hua!"

A savage sword energy, like a tidal wave, crashed upwards above Qin Chen's head.

"Ah!"

Before Qin Chen could see the situation clearly.

A miserable scream was heard.

Consequently, the previously dark space brightened instantly.

As if seeing daylight again.

Qin Chen paused for a moment, turning to glance beside him.

It seemed someone had fallen from the ground.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Chen paused again.

It was the former pursuer from Zen Heart Dragon Palace, Hu Xuanmu!

"What the heck is happening?"

Hu Xuanmu cursed under his breath, not expecting the ground to suddenly collapse.

But immediately, he sensed something was wrong.

It seemed someone was nearby!

He quickly turned his head.

This turn of his head, when Qin Chen's figure came into view, left Hu Xuanmu dumbstruck.

He even rubbed his eyes.

How could it be, Qin Chen?

Wasn't he inside the Maze Hall?

Hu Xuanmu was completely bewildered!

Qin Chen gave Hu Xuanmu a bright smile, then his toes tapped the ground, and he quickly dashed upward.

A fierce battle was erupting on the ground!

This was actually the side of the Maze Hall!

Looping around endlessly, Qin Chen ended up back where he started!

"This True Dragon really has some creative ideas."

Qin Chen couldn't help but marvel.

If it weren't for the chaos above, if it weren't for his Wind Sound Divine Ear, who would have thought that the side of the Maze Hall would be overhead?

Furthermore, each time the True Dragon goes in and out, it has to use this method?

Qin Chen found it unbelievable.

"There should have been an elevator array here before, but as the energy was depleted, it remained dormant for too long and then you struck it a blow. Now it's completely broken," Little Fairy said.

So that's how it is!

Qin Chen understood.

"Shua!"

Immediately after, a sharp force from below targeted Qin Chen, causing his hairs to stand on end.

Without hesitation, Qin Chen quickly retreated.

"Boom!"

An attack instantly exploded where Qin Chen originally stood, dirt flying, creating a large pit.

He looked up.

The one who attacked him was Hu Xuanmu.

Hu Xuanmu's eyes fixed on Qin Chen: "What did you gain inside the Maze Hall?"

He didn't know what Qin Chen had gone through.

But he was certain!

He hadn't been mistaken!

Qin Chen had entered the Maze Hall!

Yet now, Qin Chen inexplicably appeared beneath him.

This indicated that Qin Chen was the first to venture deep into the maze and emerge!

Qin Chen sneered: "Why should I tell you?"

Hu Xuanmu's gaze turned icy: "You won't say, huh? I have ways to make you talk!"

Suddenly, he charged forward, a tidal wave of pressure bore down on Qin Chen.

In his palm, a giant tree condensed.

Within less than a tenth of a breath, the giant tree grew to over a hundred meters.

"Boom!"

In an instant, enveloped by intense Wood Dao Intent, the giant tree, like a massive club, crashed toward Qin Chen's position.

Like Li Yunyi, Hu Xuanmu was also a Three-star Dao King.

But unlike Li Yunyi.

As a member of Zen Heart Dragon Palace, Hu Xuanmu had a ruthlessness that Li Yunyi lacked.

This attack gave Qin Chen no chance!

Seemingly determined to take half of Qin Chen's life!

Qin Chen chose not to confront him directly.

He dodged backward, entering the Maze Hall.

"Boom!"

The hall door of the Maze Hall was smashed open by Hu Xuanmu.

Moreover, Hu Xuanmu didn't pause at all.

After one strike, the second followed—a cascade of vines forming a bright pillar, hurtling into the Maze Hall, the piercing sound sharp.

Like a Fierce Ghost screaming, howling.

Qin Chen didn't hesitate and continued retreating.

But this retreat.

Qin Chen didn't realize he stepped on something, his foot suddenly found nothing.

The ground suddenly opened up!

Qin Chen's expression changed.

Immediately his body began to fall.

Simultaneously, the opening closed itself up again.

By the time Hu Xuanmu chased in, Qin Chen had vanished without a trace.

Hu Xuanmu's eyes glared at the Maze Hall's depths, angry: "Damn it! He's escaped again!"
