272: Way

Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue found themselves in a dilemma.

"We can't go back now, can we? We've been walking for a long time. If we turn back now, who knows how long it will take to leave the Passageway!" Nan Qingyue pointed out a critical issue.

If this Passageway really did contain an Illusion Array...

Then, as the saying goes, it's easier to enter than to leave. Even if Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue tried to head back the way they came, it likely wouldn't be that easy.

If Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu failed to find a way out, their physical strength would soon be exhausted.

Facing such a problem, Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue would fall into a dangerous situation.

"No, Senior Sister, I think we should keep moving forward. If we turn back now, we might never be able to get out." Situ Jiu's eyes lit up; he realized that this place looked exactly the same as when they first entered.

Situ Jiu guessed a possible scenario if they were to turn back now.

That they would continue to be trapped here, and if there was no exit upon returning, what would they do then?

Right now, the most important thing to do was to leave this place as quickly as possible!

"Alright, I'll listen to you!" Nan Qingyue made her decision and continued walking forward.

No matter what awaited them ahead, retreating was not an option!

"Good, Senior Sister, let's go!" Situ Jiu said with a grim expression, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

If this place was indeed a large Illusion Array, then everything they saw before them was fake.

If that were the case, there was only one solution: they had to break the Illusion Array. Only by breaking it could they leave this place.

But where was the Array Eye of this Illusion Array?

Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu certainly wouldn't be able to find it on their own.

"Senior Sister, wait a moment. Let's take a rest first." Situ Jiu suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Alright, let's wait a bit then. To be honest, this place is quite terrifying. If I were alone, I really wouldn't dare to come here." Nan Qingyue took a sharp breath, feeling quite helpless.

If there were any other way, Nan Qingyue wouldn't be like this.

However, since Situ Jiu had said he wanted to rest for a bit, she had to let him.

"Senior Sister, do you feel like something is wrong?" Situ Jiu turned back and took a sharp breath.

"Yes, there's an indescribable feeling, but I can't quite put my finger on what's going on." Nan Qingyue took a sharp breath and nodded slightly.

Then, Situ Jiu looked up. After scanning the surroundings, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

And it was at this moment...

Situ Jiu's face darkened; he already had an idea.

Then, Situ Jiu's eyes lit up. "Great, this actually gives us an opportunity. Let's go, Senior Sister, I think I know how to get out."

"What is it! A Jiu, tell me, how do we get out?" Nan Qingyue was overjoyed, her eyes shining with hope.

At this moment, Nan Qingyue was extremely excited and tightly grabbed Situ Jiu's hand.

If they could get out of here, they wouldn't have to die.

To Nan Qingyue, this was wonderful news.

"Actually, we must have entered an Illusion Array. If we can't break it, we'll likely be trapped here forever. But there's another point: what if we don't break the Illusion Array, but instead walk straight out of it? Wouldn't the result be different!" Situ Jiu's eyes lit up as an idea suddenly occurred to him.

Just now, Situ Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly as a plan formed in his mind.

It was at this very moment.

Situ Jiu took a sharp breath. "As long as we close our eyes and look with our hearts, maybe we can find a path through."

"Alright, let's give it a try! I don't know if it'll work, though." Nan Qingyue's eyes lit up; hearing this, she immediately agreed.

If this really works, it would be quite something.

In any case, there was no other way.

After saying this, Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue closed their eyes, and everything went pitch black.

But at that moment, a long, brightly lit path actually appeared before Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue's inner vision.

This path was invisible to the naked eye but could be seen with the heart.

The path was like a trail of starlight, guiding Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue.

"Senior Sister, do you see it?" Situ Jiu's eyes lit up with joy.

Just then, that cluster of starlight reflected in Situ Jiu's mind's eye. He smiled, feeling that he could already see the road ahead.

Nan Qingyue also opened her eyes. "Yes, maybe this is the way out!"

Subsequently, Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu kept their eyes closed and walked in the direction they were being guided.

And just then...

Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu hurried along. After about the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, their vision became even clearer.

In the pitch-black space, a pair of eyes was watching all of this.

"Old Man, it seems you're bound to lose. These two actually managed to walk out of the Illusion Array." An Old Man watched this scene from the darkness, his face grim and a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Then, the Old Man's eyes lit up, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smirk.

"Indeed, it's just walking out of a minor Illusion Array. But whether they can make it here is another matter. Don't celebrate too early." The Black Shadow sneered.

Still, these two youngsters had some skill to be able to escape the Illusion Array.

That was quite impressive.

He just didn't know who they were or which Immortal Sect they belonged to; it wasn't easy to possess such high talent.

"Is that so? But I think these two will definitely make it out. They will surely come here!" The Old Man chuckled, appearing quite kind.

The Black Shadow's face darkened, a cold light emanating from his eyes. "You old geezer, you just love to oppose me. I really won't accept this!"

"These two youngsters definitely won't make it here. I'll bet you on it. Of course, if I lose, that Treasure will be yours."

The Black Shadow sneered, seemingly very confident in the Illusion Array.

"Alright, that works out perfectly. I've been wanting that item of yours anyway." The Old Man was delighted.
